About: I’ve had multiple dogs throughout my life and currently have one border collie at home. I’m used to 1+ hour walks multiple times a day (as needed), lots and lots of engaged playtime, and work to put furry family members first! 🐕 🐾 I’m a college student that is currently on summer break; as such, I have a very flexible schedule at the moment (mornings, afternoons, evenings, etc) I make sure keep doors open/headphones off when at home/while dogsitting so that animals don’t have to work to get my attention when they need it—I aim for at least two long walks a day with my high energy dog, with shorter potty breaks interspersed during the day. I understand the importance of accurate portion control for pets and make it a point to keep animals healthy with accurate meal sizes and monitor their water intake throughout the day.
“Katelyn did a great job with my two cats, providing thorough and professional updates each visit. I felt at ease leaving my cats in her care and even my very cautious cat warmed up to her quickly. I highly recommend Katelyn's services!”
About: I’m majoring in business and I own a long haired chihuahua. I’ve cared for neighbor’s and family’s dogs in the past by walking and dog sitting. I’m on a very flexible schedule, so most times during week days I will be able to walk your dog! I’m excited to take them on walks :) For dog walking, I like to make sure we walk in areas with sidewalks that are safe. I’d bring water to keep your dog hydrated, especially if it is warm out!
About: I’ve been taking care of various animals big and small since I was young. I have experience with puppies, sick dogs and nervous ones. I have also worked with cats too! I work part-time and go to university. I am a commuter so I’m all over Metro Detroit! While my schedule changes each semester I keep relatively the same structure and availability! I like to maintain a clean environment and keep pets healthy. I have experience administering medication such as pills and I am able to accommodate any special needs of pets :)
“Callie did a wonderful job caring for our three cats with drop in visits. She sent lots of pictures and videos and I really appreciated that each visit she listed the tasks that she did that we requested (litter, water, etc.). Clearly a huge animal lover and a conscientious and compassionate person. And obviously our cats loved her.”
“Always showed up and tried her best to watch over and play with our cat Nero. Even though there were days where Nero felt extremely nervous it never phased her into coming and making sure he is okay. I really like the determination Sam has put into taking care of our cat Nero”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Gabby as my dog sitter through Rover, and I can't recommend her highly enough! From the moment I met her, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. She took the time to understand my dogs's needs and made sure they were well-fed and cared for. What truly impressed me was how Gabby went above and beyond her duties. Not only did she take great care of my dog, but she also vacuumed, cleaned the dishes, and even took the trash out! It was such a relief to come home to a clean space and a happy pups. Gabby's attention to detail and exceptional care made all the difference. If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like their own, look no further than Gabby. She is simply amazing!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. Personally I have always had a dog as a pet. I am always the person family or friends call when they need someone to watch their pets. I currently work a fully remote full time job. I am able to tend to your pet in the morning and evenings. Occasionally I am also able to take breaks at work where I could get a walk in. I am able to care for pets at your home or in my home for the day if your dog gets along with cats. They say dogs are the best judge of character and I've never met a dog that didn't like me!

Administering medication and monitoring for seizures. In the past I’ve owned a guinea pig so I when a wide verity of pet care. I work from home and have all the time in the world to leave my house for a good time period and can come in and out When I watched other dogs I would go to their home and try to follow their routine so the animal feels nothing is changed and feel loved
About: Taking care of your pet is my passion. I can teach your dog some new tricks! I’ve been trained to tell when a dog is overheating, what to do during seizures and how to give your pets their medications. Because of the volume of bookings I’m currently only accepting long term stays. Has to be a minimum of 3 days. My schedule is wide open so every minute will be spend making sure your best friend gets the proper care it needs. I’m also available to pick pets up to and from vet visits.

Plenty of time for cuddles. At the moment I do not offer daycare, however if I stay in your home, I always make sure I leave it how I found it.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life. They are a huge part of the family. I also believe dogs need a healthy outlet of stimulation, play and exercise every day! I'm here to help when you aren't able. I am a Mom of 3, all of which are in school during the day. I am looking to stay active, make some extra money and spend time with animals. I walk my dog daily and we both look forward to it so much. P.s. her name is Lulu. She's a chocolate lab. It is such an important part of our day.
“Gabriela is a great rover! She is always on time and updates her rover card. Bucky seems to love her, and I appreciate her consistency and flexibility with my schedule!”
“An excellent experience from start to finish. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and very responsible with feeding and playtime. We received regular updates - photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We felt completely confident that our cat was in good hands. Would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!”
“Jordyn was amazing. She was communicative, flexible and took the extra steps to ensure my dog Oby was taken care of. She took time out of her day beforehand to come and meet him, learn his routine and provided an unparalleled peace of mind knowing that my dog was going to be looked after while I was gone. I cannot recommend her enough and she will be my first contact for any future trips.”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Washington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Washington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Washington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
