“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!”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing!! She was so great with my three wild beasts and was so reassuring they were doing great because you know I’m a crazy dog mom. She let me know every time she was headed over and sent me tons of pictures. I will always use her when we need a pet sitter! She’s the best”
“Sarah is really friendly and responsive. She communicated while I was away and was able to treat my cats with the medicine regiment they needed. One of our cats absolutely adored Sarah every time she visited. Definitely recommend.”
About: I've taken care of many types of animals all throughout my childhood and as an adult I've volunteered with rescue animals for 2 years. I would frequently train, feed, walk and bathe animals. As well as provide support for many of my rescues with fostering and providing a positive environment. I work full time overnights Saturday-Tuesday but on my days off I stay home the whole day so I have plenty of time to care for pets. I have a fenced front yard. 1 cat and 1 dog to keep your animals company. Both are well behaved and get along great with other animals!
“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.
About: I’ve had a love for animals since I was a little girl. My mom has always had a love for cats so we got to raise multiple cats and their kittens growing up. When I was 6-8 I finally got the responsibility of my own dog. It was a huge deal to me and taught me so many things I’m glad I was able to learn at a young age. Animals are a huge responsibility, from health to sensory play to ensure the animal is as happy as can be it’s all a big deal to me. When I was 18 I started to work for another at home pet care service and learned even more useful things. How to administer medecine, how to care for senior dogs and their special needs, and how to love and take care of any animal as if it was my own. At 20 I got the pleasure to work at PetSmart Pet Hotel , although it was short lived because of my living situation at the time it taught me a lot. I got to work with all kinds of different dogs and cats with different temperaments and medical needs. From some of the most viscous dogs to the sweetest ones , I always strived to make all of those animals happy as long as they were with me Animal care fits into my everyday life. Having 5 dogs and 2 cats, may seem like a lot to some, but being able to give a home to all my animals while making them happy is such a treasure to me. I have a fenced yard and 5 loud but friendly dogs and 2 cats. My dogs eat on a twice a day schedule to help them stay on a routine and not be all over the place. I take all my dogs (except for the senior) on walks either daily or a few times a week if we chose to do longer hikes at Deep Lake. I strive to keep all my pets happy, clean , and respectful
“Dakota always does a great job checking on the boys. He always sends pictures and plays with them. I come home yo happy and well fed kitties. I will always recommend Dakota to help take care of your pets.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Ever since I was a kid it’s been a goal of mine to help and care for any animal in need. I’ve been taking care of my friends/family’s furry babies since I was 15. I can guarantee you that your furry friends will be safe with me! Pet care fits into my routine because I have an open schedule. I do have a job but I’ll make sure to tend to your pet as much as possible. I will make sure to make your pet as comfortable as possible and build a bond with them. I will care for them however I’m instructed to as well as keep your house just as you left it.
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.
“Sometimes I think Brittani takes better care of my cats than I do! Lol She truly loves animals, and that makes all the difference. 100/10 communication, and the cats give her 4 paws 🐾”
“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!”
“Samantha got on great with my three dogs, one which could be rude to new people. They had all their needs taken care of and Samantha was great at communicating and sending updates. She went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend her.”
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.
“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!”
“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.”

Sara did amazing! This was our first time with a pet sitter and she was so helpful with a walkthrough/meeting the babies before we left for our trip. I was able to relax a lot more knowing our kitties were getting some love and care while we were away. Thank you Sara!
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.
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.

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.
