“Andrea always does such an amazing job caring for our animals! She always keeps us updated and is readily available. We needed someone last minute to care for our babies and she was able to do a drop in visit to ensure that our animals were taken care of. We also used her for an entire week while we were on vacation and she made us feel at ease while she stayed in our home to care for the babies. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone!”
“Rachel took fantastic care of our girls this weekend! They are sweethearts, but can be stinkers sometimes. She took extra time making sure that they ate, drank, and went potty, during each visit. It was such a relief that she took care of them like they were her own. We look forward to working with Rachel again!”
About: I have grown up around cats and dogs and I've always known that I wanted to work with animals. I have been pet-sitting for dogs and cats for many years and have experience working with many different dog breeds. I also have a degree in Animal Welfare and am knowledgeable on animal behavior and health. I have experience working with a wide variety of animals, including cats, dogs, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and birds. Every animal is unique and I love getting to know each individual. I look forward to getting to know your pets! I have a very flexible schedule. I can do quick drop-ins or longer visits depending on your pet's needs. I'm available on weekends and weekdays. I offer visits to your home to take care of your pet while you're away. I can do simple check-ins, or longer visits for pets that need more attention. I'm happy to visit with your pet for an hour or two if they need some love. My knowledge on animal behavior and health means that I will be able to keep an eye on your pet's health and mood while I care for them. I will follow all of your instructions to ensure that your pet keeps their routine while you're away.
“Loretta is incredibly kind, and made us feel comfortable and at ease. She took great care of our cat and even watered my many plants for me while we were away. I highly recommend her!”
“Samantha was amazing! She gave my diabetic cat his injectable meds with ease and kept him company at her drop-in visits with him. She stayed in contact with me while I was away with any concerns or updates so I knew my cat was safe and well cared for. Will be booking her again in the future!”
“Tracy was amazing. She was so good with our kitties. She took lots of photos and gave us great peace of mind leaving our kitties under her care! We will 100% be booking with her again.”
About: I haven't had my own pets in a long time, but I've cared for over a dozen pets that I treated like my own despite belonging to others. I've introduced myself to and won over plenty of pets with my calm and collected approach. The majority of my pet care experience has been through visiting the homes of family friends to give their dogs bathroom breaks and be sure they have some company for a while as their owners are at work or on vacation. On multiple occasions, I've also stayed overnight for multiple days at a time. Because of this, I'm well equipped to meet your pets smoothly and cohabitate with them. I currently work remotely and have plans to attend college online, so I'll have more than enough time to visit at the very least. I can absolutely stay over, as I can simply work wherever I have my laptop if need be. Your pets will always be the first priority, of course. I do not have pets of my own at the moment, but I always treat other people's pets as if they were my own and with respect. If they want attention, they get it. If they want to be left alone, they will be left alone (within reason). Any instructions regarding feeding and medicine will be followed strictly.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years from family pets, neighbors dogs, dogs of friends, and living with my roommates dog for almost 3 years. I have always been hands-on and very engaging with all dogs I meet. I have learned many important skills involved in puppy training, differing pet routines and needs, positive reinforcement, and how to keep each and every dog comfortable and happy. I prioritize consistent care and reliability, so you can feel confident that your dog is in good hands. I am currently a student but have a decently flexible schedule, and I will have plenty of time focused towards availability and care for your pets. If needed I will pursue another part-time job to provide me with a livable income, but I will continue to communicate changes in my schedule availability. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and fun environment. I learn each pet’s routine include mealtimes, medications, walks, and any other needs the dog may need. I make sure each puppy is given the proper attention they need with positive interactions, any needed space, and I am very adaptable to each dog’s personality. I also prioritize cleanliness in every client’s home and use proper communication with clients to satisfy their needs along with their pets’ needs.
About: I have been pet sitting for 5 years now and have taken care of my own little fur ball since I was 9! I’ve had the opportunity to care for a vast range of dogs starting from small Pugs to large Great Danes, and additionally cats as well. I’ve experienced caring for multiple pets at a time, as well as, administering medicine for pets that need some extra love and care! I’m a college student who works part-time so my schedule tends to be very flexible. With enough notice ahead of time I will always do my best to accommodate and meet your needs! Depending on the service needed will depend on the way I go about caring for your pet/pets, but I promise to always take care of yours as I would my own! A “meet & greet” is required as it’s important to me to make sure both your pet and I are a good match. In addition, communication is key and the “meet & greet” helps to ensure everything is met to your standards. I hope that I can give you peace of mind that your loved one is in safe and caring hands, whether you’re gone for a few hours or multiple weeks!
About: I’ve had my dog Teddy for three years, and my cat Squash for two. I love animals of all kinds and have been asked by family and friends since a young age to help them take care of animals. I’m gentle with touch but firm with my voice, love to train and spoil them, and adore going on walks. Your pets will be in good hands with me My schedule is really open right now, so I’m available for whatever your pet may need. I understand how important schedules can be, which is why I like being flexible. I’m very good at making sure that all the necessary tasks are met first when I get into the house, then if I’m allowed to, I usually try and spend a little time with that animal to gain their trust.

About: From personal experience, I have had a dog for about 8 years now. Full pit bull and I love him dearly. I only have one, but am thinking about another. With new dogs I don’t know I am always gentle to start until they get to know me. I’m currently working part-time at Sarah’s on Central and typically work Thursday-Sunday. Starting in August I will be attending Maryville University as well. In my home, I only have one dog who honestly does get spoiled to death but he loves it that way. If I’m home all day I will take him out every 2-3 hours just to make sure he is all good and everything and if able will go with your dog as well unless less time is needed.
“First time using Rover and Liam isn’t used to strangers so we were both a bit nervous. Punctual; being right on time for the scheduled appointments, responsive with great communication and regular updates. The photos are a nice touch and helpful. Exceeded expectations. Thank you.”
About: What sets me apart is my experience with both ends of the dog spectrum: puppies and seniors. I can handle puppy training basics like potty schedules, crate routines, and leash manners, as well as senior care including medication administration and mobility support. You'll get honest daily updates with photos. No fluff, just reliable care. I’m current a college student home for the summer and taking online classes to fill up my time but my schedule is very flexible for your needs. I would say I can promise you that your pets are in great hands since I have always been so attentive with pet care while living with so many animals in my life.
“Vanessa was incredible! This was my first time using Rover, and she made the whole experience so comfortable! She was extremely reliable, and took great care of our dog. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I have cared for animals my whole life. I grew up on a small farm taking care of pigs, geese, chickens, steers, goats, cats dogs birds, turtles, hermit crabs, you name it! My schedule is quite flexible, and I’m happy to work around both of our schedules to accommodate any care needs. Have a special request? Just ask! I will always treat others’ pets as if they were my own. I am highly trustworthy and have owned and operated three different businesses in my young life, one of which I still run. Prior to that, I worked in healthcare. I take great pride in being dependable and trustworthy in all my endeavors.
About: My friends tell me that I am an animal whisperer haha! I love the company of an animal and giving it all of my love! I used to have a dog of my own, we were best friends, but unfortunately he passed away a few years ago. I’m not at the best spot in my life to have my own pet again so I wanted to find a way to still love on animals and have their presence! I currently have a full time job in St. Louis. I am available to WFH if I need to watch your pet(s) during the week!! More than happy to do so :) We have a very large yard/field behind my home but it is not fenced. I will be sure to have your puppy on a leash if need be!!! We also live in a neighborhood, off of the main road in town. I am also available to watch them in STL as I have family that live there!

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 .

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
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
