“Jennifer did a great job watching my cat! They made sure to play with her and pet her every day - I really appreciate that they were able to stop in while I was on my work trip. :)”
“Allison has always been my go to but in this case she really came in clutch d/t an unexpected family emergency. Her time and love for my pup is hard to find and I'm so grateful for all her help! Thanks again Allison! 🐶💜🐾”
“Angie did such an amazing job watching Boots! I could not have asked for a better experience. Angie was super safe and always sent a photo of the garage and door when she left showing the house was all locked up. She also took the time to give updates on Boots and let us know what they were up to. Angie was amazing and I will definitely book again! ❤️❤️”
“As always, Cheryl did an amazing job on visits with our kitties. She always goes the extra mile and when our girl could not be seen for 24 hours (but she was eating her treats and food) Cheryl asked for permission to go through our house to locate her, which she did! We trust Cheryll 100% with our kitties and our home. Will continue to rebook with Cheryl when assistance is needed. We love her!!”
“Lindsay made our pups days better. Pictures were great. She didn't rush out when the scheduled time was over but gave them extra attention. Lindsay will be our 1st choice.”
About: I have loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember, and I'm lucky to say that my home has never been pet-free! From dogs to hedgehogs to the cats I care for today, my lifelong experience with pets has been filled with joy and companionship. My love for animals has also given me experience caring for the pets of friends and family, in addition to my own. I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and I strive to provide care that is tailored to each individual animal. My goal is to help pets feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. As a dedicated college student who works part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for pets throughout the week. I prioritize communication and careful planning of my responsibilities to ensure that the pets I care for receive the attention and companionship they need. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I take the time to learn and closely follow each pet's unique routine, preferences, and any special care instructions to keep them safe and happy while their owners are away. Having five indoor cats of my own, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for and protecting beloved pets, and I bring that same level of attentiveness to every animal in my care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with the same level of care, patience, and attention. My goal is not only to provide pets with reliable care, but also to provide owners with peace of mind.
About: I have cared for and owned all different kinds of animals. I have been in the horse riding industry since I was 8 years old so I am not skiddish towards other animals. I truly have a passion for animals and I am very able and willing to do what it takes to take care of your beloved pets!! I am currently a full time student, however I am a commuter so I have the ability to travel freely in between classes and outside of classes. I am on summer break from May-September and have a virtually free schedule for whatever you may need! I am more than happy to confine to whatever you may need me to do in order to give your pet the best care possible. I have slept over, done drop ins, walks, etc. with other dog and cat sitting jobs and I am very comfortable.
“Melissa sent me loads of photos and took great care of my 2 year old dog and new, 8-week old puppy. She made me feel completely comfortable leaving them and they were happy, safe, and sound when we returned home :)”
“Abby was wonderful!! Our 22 year old kitty was calm and stable when I got home. Medicated daily…. Fed the way he needed to be… played with… daily pics to relieve an absent parent. A wonderful service!!!”
“Lily has helped us out three times now and we can’t say enough good things! She’s great with both of our dogs, takes tons of pictures, and is always letting us know how things are going throughout our trip! Lily is AMAZING!”
“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.”
About: I grew up taking care of my family dog since I was little, but started getting my own pets when I was 11. I have cared for rabbits, puppies, kittens, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even horses. I have always been the go to person for my friends at watching their pets. I am currently working part time and in graduate school at Oakland University so I would love to have something extra to fill up my spare time! I have two cats that I feed on a timed schedule daily and clean their litter boxes on a regular basis. They both require extra attention and loving that I am well versed in giving and will also put forth towards anyone else's pets.
“Kelly was great with the dogs - we have two bigger males (70lb husky and 100lb husky mix). It's clear that she really enjoys pets and the dogs had a great time. We will definitely be booking her again. She was very friendly and informative for the visit.”
About: Dog-walking and pet-sitting were some of my first jobs when I was a kid. I have 10+ years of experience caring for cats and dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. My family always had pets while I was growing up so caring for animals is something I feel comfortable about and truly enjoy doing! Aside from walking and checking in, I have also stayed and taken care of pets for longer periods of time. I own a 5 year old beagle and 9 year old cat myself! I am a recent college graduate and I currently only work part-time during the week so I have pretty flexible availability for scheduling. I am also available most weekends. I am a pet owner myself and I know that they are like family. I understand it can be hard for both you and your pet while away and I like to provide communication and updates through text and pictures. I have experience caring for sick pets as well as those that require medication/ extra assistance.
“Adina is super kind, dependable and attentive. A perfect match for our cat Lupe! Luckily she was available to book several drop-in visits with him. Thanks to her we were not concerned at all about the well being of Lupe while we were away, because she never left us hanging! We came home to a happy, loving kitty. Adina will definitely be on the top of our list whenever we might need someone to take care of Lupe in the future!”

Best cat sitter! So trust worthy and she sent plenty of pictures! She did my exact instructions and was on time everyday. I felt very calm leaving g her with my kitties. Also, both my cats warmed up to her very well and they are normally little scaredy cats. Would highly recommend using Sarah and will use her again on my next trip! Thanks Sarah <3

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Washington on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,080 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Washington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Washington. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
