About: As a stay-at-home mom and lifelong dog lover, I bring constant care, attention, and a calm, nurturing presence to every pup I walk or care for. I’m home full-time, so your dog will never be left alone or rushed. I specialize in gentle walks, giving extra patience to puppies and the special care seniors need. Whether that means slower walks, meds, or cuddles on the couch. I treat every dog like family and believe in clear communication with pet parents, so you always feel at ease. My kids start school, and I will be available from 8am-3pm M-F. I am available for evenings upon request just depending on my kids sports schedule. I’m also free Fridays 8-8pm and weekends too! In my home, pets get a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Meal times, walks, play, and downtime—to help them feel comfortable and secure. I offer plenty of attention, snuggles, and supervision throughout the day, and I’m home full-time so they’re never left alone for long. When caring for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect and care I give my own. I keep everything clean, follow your instructions, and make sure your pets are happy, safe, and well loved while you’re away. Communication is key, so you’ll get regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind.
About: Since I was a child I have always been surrounded by animals! Growing up I’ve loved and helped take care of dogs, cats, fish, and Guinea pigs. I currently have 3 dogs of my own and two cats. I own a small breed dog and two larger breeds and am comfortable taking care of pets of all sizes with various behavior needs. I am a 5th grade math teacher looking for some part time work to supplement my income! I am available for walks after school hours (3:30pm) through the evenings. On weekends I can be available throughout the entire day. I am used to working with high energy dogs and am comfortable walking and playing both on leash and off depending on your preferences. I am very responsible and detail oriented and will follow your wishes when caring for your fur babies!
“First time using Adam he did a great job and my 2 cats were well looked after and seemed happy when we returned from our trip. I will us Adam again for watching my cats.”
About: Over the course of my life I personally have had three dogs all of which have been trained by me. I also have experience training leader dogs for the blind through Michigan State University’s program. I absolutely love dogs and will treat yours as my own. I also have several friends and family that I regularly care for their pets anytime they are out of town. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I have flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for walks and drop ins before 9am and after 4 PM. I’m also available anytime on weekends and am open to house sitting. I’m dependable about maintaining each pet’s normal feeding, bathroom, exercise, and medication routines while making sure they get plenty of attention and care. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own routine. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special preferences. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well while they’re away.
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 :)
About: I have owned a lizard, two mice, two rats, multiple fish, two dogs, and exotic animals. I also dog and cat sit for a few of my neighbors, and walk a dog I know, and my own dog. I have pet sat for a rabbit, guinea pig, and turtle at separate times. I am studying anatomy and zoology in school at the moment, and planning to pursue a career in animal behavior. I am open to boarding dogs overnight once we get a fence, and at the moment we own a 12 year old dog and two rats, and are fostering a 1 year old dog. I recently graduated high school and can provide references if needed. I have my license, and am willing to drive around 10-15 miles for someone’s house.
About: I had a family beagle for 14 years that I helped care for. I have also dog sat for about 4 different people, I am the go to dog sitter in my family. I do not work because I am a full time student. I think this would be a great side hustle that is something I love doing. I would do drop in, overnight visits, and dog walks. I will follow the exact instructions that is asked of me. I am a detailed person and I would love the hear about you and your relationship with your dogs
“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.”
About: I adopted my dog, Leia, in 2018, and my cat, Scourge, in 2020. Leia has had her share of health issues so I am familiar with administering medication, specialized diets, etc. I also previously had guinea pigs. 🐹 I am excited to get to know your pets! I am a teacher, so during the school year I am only available on the weekends. But during the summer, I am available any day or time, pretty much! We have a large unfenced yard. So I will keep your pet leashed while outside. Our neighborhood is also perfect for long walks. We have pet gates throughout our home
About: I have owned dogs and been around animals my entire life. I know how important your pet is as they aren't just an animal, they are part of the family. I promise to treat your family member as if they were my own. I have a part-time job from 10am to 2pm during the week, so my availability is very flexible. I can come by before work and after if you'd like. I'm also available weekends as I do not work the weekends. I will treat your home as if it were my own. I am low key and prefer a quiet life with just me and your pet.
About: I grew up with a dog and cat of my own, and was frequently left to watch the house and pets during family outings. Since moving out I've continued to frequently watch after my family's cats when they are out travelling. I have weekly appointments that take 1-2 hour 3 times a week. Other than that, I'm very flexible and can work around most things! I'm available for holidays! I like to try and learn about the animals individually! Learning one's personality is key to providing good care and a comfortable environment. Keeping up with the instructions left and letting the animal know I am a friend to them is the most important!
“Christina did an outstanding job. Our two kitties loved her. She was very thorough and we felt at ease on vacation knowing they were being cared for and loved as if they were her own pets. We will definitely use her services again.”
“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!”
About: I’ve had a vast experience from helping foster cats to personal dog ownership and training. My calm, loving demeanor sets me apart from just a pet sitter. A flexible schedule is ideal, considering I am primary caregiver to my two children. Looking for a part time schedule during school hours. I value being responsible and reliable for you and your pet’s needs. I would love to establish our home as a safe boarding environment for your bestie. We have just under two acres- not fenced- of beautiful land for your best friend to run and play! Lots of space inside, with option of storing a crate, if needed. Our children will not be part of the boarding experience as they are not home on weekends. Our dog passed unexpectedly this year of cancer and it wrecked us. Although we cannot replace her, we would love to provide a happy place for your beloved pet to stay and be loved while you are away or need a break. 🩷

I sometimes work morning which would be 5:00am-8:30am I will pay attention to detail in clients homes/on walks etc. to insure that the pet is always safe, loved, fed, happy and accounted for
“Allie is so kind and does great work with our timid girl. Allie is patient and you can tell she is a great caregiver because she thinks of all of the little things (like placing her keys down to say hi because she knew keys might scare a nervous dog).”
About: I absolutely love to care and play with dogs! Throughout my time working with dogs I have given dogs medicine and now have special experience of watching them and caring for them. I have a dog of my own he is an Old English Sheepdog and lives with my parents. I have cared for cats and other animals throughout my life as well. I must note that I love big dogs and have experience with extra large dogs including Mastiffs, Newfoundlands, and Dobermans. however, no matter the size of your dog or puppy I’ll take special care of them, from Great Dane’s to Basset Hound’s to Chihuahuas! I am good with puppies and with older dogs. I do my best to give oral medication if needed. I would love to be the one to take care of your fur baby and can be flexible with scheduling! I am currently a college student in Detroit. I have classes 3 days a week. When I confirm a booking I commit to staying with the dogs as much as possible. I care for pets outside of my home by making sure they are comfortable with me, playing with them but knowing when they are aggressive or not. I also give some very good scratches.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Washington
Kelly was absolutely wonderful with Mocha💕 She kept me updated throughout every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell that she genuinely cared about Mocha and made sure she was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She was reliable, communicative, and very sweet with my little girl. I would absolutely book with Kelly again for future trips or whenever I need someone to care for Mocha. Thank you so much for everything! 🥰🐾
Hannah did an awesome job taking care of my dogs while I was away! I could tell they were really well taken care of and got plenty of attention, which made it so much easier for me to relax and not worry about them. She was very dependable, kept everything taken care of, and treated my dogs like they were her own. I was also so impressed when I got home because my house was absolutely spotless! Everything was clean, neat, and exactly as I had left it. It’s not easy finding someone you completely trust with both your pets and your home, and I would absolutely have Hannah take care of them again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, and great with animals. She definitely deserves 5 stars!
Sarah is new to our dog, Bailey, today. Having only first met Sarah, we are impressed. She asked questions demonstrating experience with caring for animals and particularly job. We are comfortable after meeting with a Drop-In visit, that we can rely on Sarah for her soon visit for the next appointment.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Washington is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,888 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Washington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Washington. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
