“I’m so grateful to Stephanie for taking such wonderful care of Kata while I was away. 🐾 She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I had complete peace of mind knowing Kata was safe, happy, and well-looked after. She kept me updated, followed all instructions, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their fur baby. Thank you so much again! ❤️”
“Dakota was an awesome caretaker for our pup! We have a high energy dog and Dakota happily took on the task of dropping in and giving her the attention she needed. Highly recommended!”
“We rebooked with Sarah and were so pleased with the care she gave our cat. She provides wonderful updates and takes fantastic care of him. Sarah is great at communicating and I feel so at ease knowing she’s caring for our cat Bear while we’re away.”
About: I have cared for mostly pit bull type dogs and unwanted other dogs (seniors, chewers)- I have a lot of care and patience for animals of all kinds. I have a full time job during the week but am available weekends and some holidays if you want to go out of town. I usually feel a little guilty leaving my dogs behind while I go camping but many federal lands don’t accept dogs, even on a leash. Just know they will be cared for and played with at my house. I usually get out once a day to go to the parks with my dogs so I would love to take yours too! I feed my dogs a special dinner nightly and in the morning. They have a doggy door they go in and out of to a large fenced back yard. They are allowed on the furniture and are walked to run off leash in a park on a daily basis.
“Jenna is a treasure! We are so thrilled we found a caring, reliable, trustworthy person to take care of our furbabies while we’re away! She did an excellent job caring for each of our cats, with very different personalities & needs. She left us detailed notes, lots of pictures & kept us updated the whole time we were away! Peace of mind is priceless - she’s worth every penny & more! Book with her, you’ll be glad you did!”
“Brittani was INCREDIBLE. Don’t hesitate to book with her. She was on time to our meet and greet and always reached out early with updates and to ensure everything was in place before I left on my trip. She took her time with the two cats, one of which who is slow to trust, and even brought them new toys to play with. Her updates came with several photos and a full text report as well. She definitely goes above and beyond what most sitters provide. Highly recommend!”
“Shelly was extremely attentive and timely when caring for my baby. She maintained excellent communication and provided me with updates on how my cat was doing. I highly recommend her!”
About: I've taken care of the family dogs for as long as I've been conscious enough to and have further sat for family friends and other relatives. I have trained my own puppy (he's almost 3 now), have some experience with administering medication (oral and topical), and have looked after senior dogs in various stages of their old age. I have owned and cared for dogs of various sizes from tiny chihuahuas to larger than average rottweiler mixes and handled many different temperaments. I currently do not have a job, so I am able to spend as long as necessary with your pet. I am free all day on weekends for things like check ins or walks, but on most weekdays I can only do boarding. I have a fully fenced in yard and two friendly (medium to large) dogs to play with. I also have a large crate available if it is ever needed.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and kittys since I was a kid and I absolutely love every moment of it. Friends, neighbors, and family always trust me with their fur babies because they know I give them tons of attention, love, and patience. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or bath time, I make sure every pet feels happy, safe, and completely spoiled while you’re away. Even though I’m in school I make lots of time for pet care. I’m available after 3pm on weekdays and completely free all day on weekends so your fur babies will always get attention love and consistent care. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I keep a safe clean, and cozy environment, and I always supervise outdoor time in my fenced yard. I’m gentle, patient, and careful to follow your pet’s routine so they feel safe, relaxed and completely spoiled
“Brittni was an amazing sitter for my kitty! She’s super responsive, a good communicator, thoughtful, punctual, and really sweet with pets. Luna seemed to warm up to her right away! I’d highly recommend Brittni as a pet sitter and will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: My name is Charizma Williams. I’ve pet-sitted for my sister’s friend and with my best friend on and off for 3 years. I grew up helping take care of farm animals, cats, and dogs. I love taking care of animals. I’ll treat them like my very own. Your fur babies will be in good hands. I’ll make sure to send you lots of updates on how they’re doing!! I’m unemployed looking for my first job, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies, play with them and meet all of their needs. I make sure to take care of them with lots of love, gentleness, and kindness. If needed, I can crate them, and if they have any specific requirements, I’ll make sure those are met.
About: What sets me apart as a dog walker and overnight pet care is my genuine love for animals and commitment to providing personalized care for your furry friends. Here are a few key points: 1.

Combined with my responsible nature from my full-time work as an accounts payable specialist, I'm committed to ensuring your dog's walks are safe, enjoyable, and tailored to their needs. I provide comprehensive pet care tailored to the service. For dog walking, I prioritize safe, leashed walks and responsible waste disposal. For pet sitting, whether in my fenced yard or a client's home, I focus on maintaining routines, providing companionship, and ensuring safety. At my home, I have a secure, fenced yard and experience caring for two elder dogs, giving me a strong understanding of senior pet needs. I'm committed to clear communication and individualized care for every animal.
“Taya did a great job taking care of our girl, Bella! She came the times and dates requested and even took some cute pictures of our pup on her daily visits. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I guarantee to treat every animal with the same love and care as my own. And beyond that, the same love and care as my children. I am self employed and can make time for any animal any day through my open schedule. I make my own schedule day by day. I have a fenced yard with one small very sweet loving dog. She has gotten along well with any animal she has encountered. I trained her myself.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Yakima is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Yakima
Sara was amazing! She was so kind to the animals, I could tell in the pictures and how they were reacting to her. She showed up every day as expected, at the time agreed upon, and stayed her entire visit per the check-in/check-out and the door camera. I would gladly hire her again when needed!
I always feel comfortable going out of town and having Dakota drop in the check on the boys. He alwasy makes sure they have food, water, treats and cleans out the litter boxes. He always leaves nice notes letting me know how the boys are doing and will include lots of pictures. I really appreciate how much he does for my boys. I highly recommend using Dakota for any kind of cat sitting.
I cannot say enough amazing things about the care Axel received—absolute top-tier experience from start to finish. From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable, attentive, and genuinely caring hands. Axel isn’t just any dog—he’s my Doberman, my sidekick—and I’m very particular about who I trust with him. This sitter went above and beyond in every way. Communication was consistent and thoughtful, with regular updates, photos, and little details that reassured me he was not just being watched, but truly cared for and loved. Axel came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well-exercised—which says everything. It’s obvious he was treated like family, not just a booking. The attention to his needs, his personality, and his routine was spot on. If you’re looking for someone who delivers professionalism, reliability, and genuine heart—this is your person. I would trust them with Axel again in a heartbeat. Absolutely exceptional
Peggy was a joy to work with. She made sure my 2 boys were well taken care of while we were all out of town. I came home to 2 very happy cats. My Yuki really liked her and he usually doesn't like anyone. My LilBits even let her get a photo of him to send to me and he usually hides from everyone. I am very happy that Peggy was there for us.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Yakima on Rover is $21.4 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 207 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Yakima. 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 Yakima 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.

- 94% 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.
