“Kaydince is the best! She watched my dog on a regular basis. She was very responsive and always on time. She uploaded pictures of my dog after every visit. She helped me out for several months and I would highly recommend!”
About: Hello, pet parents! 🐾 I’m a college student at Utah Tech University studying Biology, with the ultimate goal of becoming a veterinarian! I’ve been around animals my entire life and have owned numerous dogs and other pets, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your furry family members. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I would want someone to give my own. I currently have a French Bulldog and a Boston Terrier, so I definitely know a thing or two about energetic, stubborn, and strong-personality dogs! 😂 Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just some extra attention, I’m ready to make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to meet and care for your pets! 🐶🐾 I am currently attending college so my daily and weekly routine is very flexible with your pets needs! I am available most times of day and can’t be there to provide the best care whenever it is needed! I have had pets in my home ever since I was born! I have allways had 3 dogs running around the house causing a ruckus, and I know the challenges pets can bring. I am well prepared for it and would love to spend lots of time with your animals!
“Justin and his family are amazing. Had some naughty puppies get into cookies right before leaving the country. Needed someone last minute to not just drop in, but take them to the vet and handle more blood tests. They jumped right in and I’m so grateful for them.”
About: I grew up loving dogs and was always the go to dog sitter. My neighbors/family trusted me to feed, walk, watch, and play with their animals. I have also raised my own pup for the last 5 years and she is my best friend. I am currently volunteering at an animal shelter and work with the dogs on a weekly basis. I am currently a college student but have plenty of free time to care for your amazing pets. I make time for regular walks, feedings, play, and quiet companionship, and I adjust my day to match each dog’s energy level and needs. I care for pets by focusing on their comfort, routine, and individual needs. I make sure your dogs feel safe, loved, and understood. I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions closely, and I take the time to learn each dog’s personality.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10 years old! I grew up with both cats and dogs and now have a cat of own. Neighbors, friends, family, and members of the community have relied on me to walk, feed, administer medications, play with and be a companion to their pets, and I love to do it! I always do my best to get to know the personality of the animals I’m caring for and make them as comfortable as possible. I have experience providing care for all ages from puppies and kittens, to elderly animals. I can’t wait to meet your animal companions and love them like my own! I am a young professional who works weekdays from 9am-5pm. I am happy to make visits in the morning before my work day starts, during my lunch break from 12pm-1pm if needed, and anytime in the evening after work. My weekends are open and flexible. I can be sure your animals are crated carefully, doors are locked, gates are closed, and all of their necessities and more are met. I will always do my best to make your pet comfortable with both me and their environment.
About: I have experience caring for pets both personally and through my work at an animal shelter. I regularly care for friends’ pets, which has given me experience with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I also work at an animal shelter, where I have hands-on experience with animals of many different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I truly love working with animals and will treat your pets with the same care and attention I would want for my own! I work part time and only have a few college classes, so I have lots of free time. I’m available to check in on your pets or take your dog for a walk anytime after 2:00 PM Monday–Thursday and anytime after 12:00 PM on Saturdays. The safety and comfort of your pets is always my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient with shy or nervous animals and always follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, and other care. My experience working at an animal shelter has taught me how to safely handle animals of different sizes, ages, breeds, and temperaments. When caring for pets in your home, I will also treat your home with respect and make sure everything is left clean and secure.
“Without a doubt Jessica is the person for you! And your pet! She was on time, followed all instructions & loved our pet 100% we did not even meet get face to face. Jessica followed specific written instructions & did it 100% on task - we have cameras inside & she definitely can be trusted sight unseen. Thank you so very much for being there when we needed you.”
“I love working with Dana so much! She is such a consistent and reliable sitter. It's clear from the picture updates and rover cards that she is fully engaged during her visits with my cats, making sure that their needs are met while I am away. Thank you so much always!”
About: I grew up with dogs and I love dogs. I have my own beautiful fur babies. Oreo is 17 and Tao is 5. I've taken care of them since they were pups and trained them on their excellent behavior I currently work for myself and make my own schedule, so I can meet various needs and expectations. I have reliable transportation and time on my hands I have a fenced yard and friendly pups at home. My pups are trained. Fed and cared for with love constantly, maybe a tad spoiled
“10000% would book again. Emilie was able to drop in on our pups last minute after our previous person cancelled literally an hour before. She sent the most adorable pictures and made me feel better that they were given love and care 💜”
About: I have hands on experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic young animals to seniors who need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable following structured feeding routines, administering medications, and providing attentive care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I can care for a wide range of animals from dogs and cats to birds, hamsters, and beyond. I grew up on a farm surrounded by many different animals, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care, responsibility, and understanding animal behavior. I focus on keeping pets calm, comfortable, and stress free by caring for them in their own home and maintaining the routines they’re used to. Reliability, cleanliness, and clear communication are priorities for me, and I treat every pet and home as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I attend school and run my main business primarily remotely, which gives me flexibility to plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, medication needs, and overnight stays. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to be present, punctual, and attentive throughout the day and evening. I prioritize consistency and reliability so pets experience minimal disruption while their owners are away, and I’m comfortable adjusting my availability to meet each pet’s specific needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress free. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes or habitats, administer medications if needed, and give pets the appropriate level of attention and companionship based on their personality. I’m respectful of each home and keep the space clean and secure while I’m there. For overnight stays, I make sure pets feel safe and settled, especially in the evenings and mornings when routines matter most. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.
About: I've been dog walking and caring for pets for 18 years while working other jobs. I come from a family that loves animals (my parents currently have 4 dogs and a cat that I often sit for). I'm not afraid of big or small dogs or their energy. I'm a grad student looking forward to helping pet owners when their lives get busy. I am thorough, thoughtful, great in emergencies, and love the outdoors. Thanks so much for taking the time to consider me! I am currently in grad school, and my schedule is flexible outside of Tuesday-Thursday 1-5:30pm. I work part-time, but I have spare time I'd love to spend hanging out with your pet, either outside for a happy pup walk or inside for a cat cuddle. I believe in treating people's pets as if they were my own. I respect every person and pet I interact with. Safety is a number one priority for all. I am comfortable in all kinds of situations due to my work experience. I'm calm, empathetic, and present when interacting with owners and pets alike.
“Cindy is phenomenal! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and our little Sammy loved her. We could tell she genuinely loves and cares about animals. The videos? Photos and reports she sent us kept us well informed and gave us reassurance that our pup was being well cared for. We highly recommend Cindy!”
“Breann is very reliable and responsible. I liked her right from the start because she was experienced and confident. And the seal of approval was my girl boxer liked her from the meet & greet and my girl pup is very particular.”
“Sydney was wonderful! She stepped in very last minute and was able to arrange a meet and greet with only a couple of hours of notice. She sent pictures and wonderful updates each time she dropped in for my dogs. I will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have two dogs of my own. I’ve house sat and dog sat many times for friends and family, and I really enjoy spending time with dogs. I’m dependable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. Since I have two dogs of my own, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, care, and time to feel comfortable while you’re away! I am currently a student at Utah Tech, and have classes mainly on Monday and Wednesdays. I have lots of free time during the week to be able to help out with your dogs. I really enjoy being outside and getting exercise so I would love to be able to do that while helping out! I have lots of experience for training and taking care of dogs. I have nannied for a family the past two years, and have taken care of their dog. I am a strong communicator when it comes to making a plan and keeping a good relationship with the families I take care of.
“Hailey did an absolutely amazing job watching our cat. Our cat is incredibly shy and usually hides from everyone—even family members who have known him for years rarely ever see him. We honestly didn't expect him to come out at all while we were away. To our surprise, Hailey somehow won him over! Not only did she take great care of him, but she got him comfortable enough to come out and interact with her. We joke that she must be a cat whisperer because our cat normally doesn't like anybody, yet he trusted her. It's clear that Hailey is patient, kind, and truly understands cats. Knowing that our shy little guy was comfortable and cared for gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a reliable and exceptional pet sitter!”
About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including puppies and senior pets. I’m patient, gentle, and make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. I can help with basic puppy routines and give extra care and attention to older pets who may need a slower pace or special support. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like my own. I pay attention to their needs, keep them calm and happy, and make sure you feel confident while you’re away. I also provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, walks, feeding, and playtime. I have a flexible routine and make time throughout the day for check-ins, exercise, and companionship. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m reliable with timing and follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I always prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs or medications. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and secure. I make sure doors, gates, and anything unsafe are properly checked so pets stay safe at all times. I create a calm, comfortable environment by giving pets attention, playtime, and rest as needed. I watch closely for any changes in behavior and keep owners updated so they always feel confident their pet is safe and well cared for.

Desi is the best! This is the second time she has taken care of our pets for us. She is so patient and kind. We're grateful that she was able to help out on such short notice. We definitely recommend Desi to anyone needing a pet sitter. (Just don't book her at the same time we need to 😄). She's our favorite!!!
Isabella was extremely thorough and communicative, always letting me know when she was headed over and how the cats were doing. She sent photos, called when she had questions, and made sure to have all the details clear and correct. She even came back on an extra unscheduled visit to make sure one of my cats with an eye problem was doing okay. I would highly recommend her!
Betsy, did an incredible job taking care of our pug- Al Pugchino. Her communication with us was outstanding- she even managed the 8 hour time difference. I knew Al was getting loving care from Betsy. I highly recommend her services and wish I could give 10 stars.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Washington is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $31 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 October 2026, there are 272 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 .
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 , 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:
- 88% 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
