“Amanda was fantastic and my cats love her. She took excellent care of them, which included insulin injections to one of the cats. I’d highly recommend Amanda for your pet sitting needs.”

“Lisa definitely lived up to the other glowing reviews. She visited our house daily to feed, water and take care of the litter box for our two cats. She is reliable and even made friends with our often-shy Siamese kitty. We appreciated the daily pictures and reports cards while we were away on our week-long trip. We would highly recommend Lisa for your away pet-sitting needs! Hopefully she will still be providing here excellent services the next time we take a trip to visit family.”


About: I’ve been around dogs for many years and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and following each dog’s individual routine. I also have personal experience caring for a dog with allergies, so I understand the importance of following feeding instructions, avoiding known triggers, and paying attention to changes in a dog’s skin or behavior. I treat every pet with patience, care, and attention just like I would my own dog, Korona. 🐾 I’m retired from the military, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and plenty of playtime and attention. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while making sure each pet’s individual routine is followed. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and plenty of space for play and relaxation. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and make sure their pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and care while they’re away.
About: My golden is my boss, and I love it. I have had dogs my whole life and am finally in a position where I can help other people with their pups. Walking, playing…I can’t wait to meet all your puppers and doggos! I currently work part time so have pretty open availability for walks and playing. I could potentially board but it would have to be a good fit with my pup. I take my dog Simon on 3 walks a day as I live in an apartment. Keeps me active and him happy. I will do whatever the client needs I order to keep their pets as happy as mine.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep commitment to providing not only reliable care but also compassionate attention to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I approach every animal with patience, respect, and genuine understanding, ensuring that they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have extensive experience working with both puppies and senior pets, understanding the special requirements of each stage of life. When caring for puppies, I focus on maintaining consistency in their training, reinforcing positive behaviors, and providing the socialization and playtime that is essential for their development. For senior pets, I am attentive to their comfort and health, administering any necessary medications, supporting mobility, and creating a calm environment tailored to their pace. In addition to my hands-on experience, I pride myself on clear and professional communication with pet owners. I provide detailed updates, photos, and observations to give you peace of mind that your beloved pet is being cared for with the highest level of attentiveness and respect. Above all, my goal is to ensure that each pet feels genuinely cared for, and that each owner feels confident their companion is in trustworthy, compassionate hands. Pet care fits into my routine as a flexible part-time focus. I schedule visits around other sitting jobs and prioritize consistency and reliability for each client. I don’t have a car, so I accept bookings within a manageable distance. Pet care is an integral component of my daily and weekly routine, and I approach it with a sense of responsibility, consistency, and attentiveness to the well-being of my animals. On a daily basis, I follow a structured schedule that includes feeding at set times, ensuring they receive adequate hydration, and conducting quick health checks to observe any changes in their behavior, appetite, or physical condition. Morning and evening walks or play sessions are carefully incorporated to provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation, which are essential for maintaining their overall health and happiness. I offer in-home sitting and dog walking, caring for pets in their familiar environment. I follow each client’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care needs
“I was looking for someone who could give my cat his medicine and keep an eye on him incase he was in need of anything. Jenna was awesome and I can't wait to have her come cat sit again. Thank you Jenna!”
“Tiffany was amazing! She took such good care of our 4 dogs while we were out of town for the week. She kept them on schedule and in their normal routines, it's like we were even gone! She went above and beyond to make sure we came home to a calm house.”

“I will absolutely book again! Qing exceeded expectations! Qing is very experienced, knowledgeable, communicative and detail oriented. My grumpy cat is on prescribed food and has chronic kidney failure as he ages and genetic asthma which required daily inhaling medication and oral pills. She precisely administered all meds and diets without any issue at all! She’s very professional and organized. Another sitter with vet experience canceled on us last minute and Qing is the safest and best option to me!”


“Adam gave my husband and I so much peace of mind when he watched our cat over the holiday weekend! Our cat really dislikes being boarded, so it was wonderful to know that he was being cared for by Adam right in our home. Adam took the time to get to know our cat’s mannerisms and worked with him to get used to him being there. He provided daily updates and pictures which was fun to check on while we were away. I am so thankful for Adam for being so helpful while we were gone! He is a gem!”

About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been caring for them since I was 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve often been called an “animal whisperer” because animals seem to naturally feel comfortable, safe, and understood around me. I truly believe every animal has a sweet soul and deserves patience, tender love, care, and understanding. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or simply loves to cuddle, I take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel happy and secure while you’re away. When your fur baby is with me, they’re treated like family. I’m attentive to their routines, affectionate with them, and committed to giving them the same love and care I would want for my own pets. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is not only being watched, but genuinely loved. 🐶🐱🐾 I have open availability and am excited to dedicate my time, attention, and love to your fur babies! 🐾❤️ I’m constantly caring for my own two pups—a Pitbull and an XL Bully—so giving dogs plenty of love, attention, exercise, and TLC is already a big part of my everyday life. Aside from caring for my own dogs, my schedule is open and flexible, allowing me to give your pets the attention they deserve. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, keeping up with their routine, or simply giving them some extra love and companionship, I’m happy to be there for them. I’m eager to share that same TLC with your pets and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐶🐱🐈⬛💕 Your pet’s safety is my top priority while they’re in my care. 🐾❤️ I understand that trusting someone with your fur baby is a big responsibility, and I take that responsibility seriously. I provide attentive, hands-on supervision and take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, triggers, and individual needs. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, feeding routines, interactions with other animals, and anything else that could affect their safety and comfort. I also believe communication is an important part of quality pet care. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for from the moment they’re in my care until they’re back home with you. 🐶🐱💕
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong foundation in professional animal care and my passion for creating stress-free, positive experiences for pets. I’m Fear Free Certified, so I’m trained in techniques that help reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in animals—especially helpful for nervous or shy pets. I’m also a veterinary professional where on a daily basis I deal with animal behavior, health, and basic care. This knowledge helps me better understand your pet’s needs, whether they’re a rambunctious puppy, a senior with special care requirements, or anything in between. I approach every animal with patience, empathy, and respect—and I truly treat them like part of the family. I usually am free 6 days a week! My schedule is based on where I am that day or what other gigs I have going on. I have reliable transportation and will be able to watch pets in their home if need be to avoid stress of car rides and new places. I am very attentive to each pets need, because just like humans, each pet is different!
About: Throughout my life I've had 4 dogs. Currently I have two, with one being a 2-year-old pup I've been training ever since I adopted her and one that's pretty old and requires some special care. I used to work as a dog groomer for a business called Kendra's Grooming and I would watch her dogs when she went away with her family for vacation. For Kendra's Grooming I would bathe, dry, and hold dogs whenever needed. All of my classes are online currently for the summer and I'm open whatever day of the weekdays and Saturdays along with whatever time or for however long. So, I'm able to work whatever time is needed. I would be able to keep a constant eye on your pup, take them on however many walks you would want, and would be able to care for them in whatever way is needed. I've worked with animals with all sorts of personalities and in varying stages of health, so I can work with any form of animal, and I can accommodate for any of your pet's unique needs.
“Our dogs were super happy being tended to by Brianna. She’s very reliable and communicated with us on every visit which we appreciate so much. We loved getting pictures and updates. We would highly recommend her to care for your fur baby.”

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I have 17 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and unique needs, so I take the time to help them feel safe, loved, and at home. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and committed to following your instructions carefully. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll provide the same loving care and attention I would want for my own pets. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom who loves animals, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout much of the day and can plan walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins around each pet’s needs. I’ll confirm availability and care instructions with you before booking. My home sits on half an acre with a fully fenced yard, giving pets plenty of safe space to run, play, and explore. Pets are welcome throughout my large, pet-friendly home so they can feel comfortable and relaxed while staying with us. We live in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with walking areas and a dog park nearby. For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I keep boarding limited and carefully select the animals I welcome into my home. I focus on providing personalized attention and maintaining a calm, low-stress environment rather than boarding large numbers of pets at once.
“Veronica did a great job of taking care of our cats. She sent us daily updates and communicated very well and always asked questions if she wasn't sure or needed more clarification. She spent extra one on one time with our newly adopted somewhat feral kitty working on getting her more socialized.”

“Katey was wonderful! She took great care of my cat, so much so that I'm not sure Starfall wanted to come home. :) She updated me with photos and videos, and was very attentive to Starfall's needs. She's very friendly and easy to work with. I plan on having Starfall stay with her in the future!”

“The best! I had an extremely busy trip for my sisters wedding and I didn’t have to worry about my pets or my house at all. Pictures every morning and evening with a little update. I came home and my cats were very clearly not stressed, just happy to see me. The house was lovely when I walked in. Highest recommendations! Truly a great job done!”

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was 8 I was responsible for feeding and watering animal's. Making sure they were walked regularly and would clean dishes for them. I am experienced with all breeds and welcome all breeds I would be responsible for grooming and nail care as well. I love animal's and I take mine out to dog parks and walks everyday I would love to welcome your pet and help care for. I did volunteer work throughout the years as well. I am available every weekend and im available weekly as well depending on your requested times needed. Please feel free to reach out to me! I have one friendly small dog she is very well behaved non aggressive great with kids. I have a crate for my dog and my yard is not fenced walking them outside is no problem at all. I offer in home and out of home care please feel free to message me I'm flexible.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of all different ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve cared for seniors, special-needs pets, anxious animals, and pets who need oral medications or a little extra patience. I’m big on following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — meals, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime, and all the little things they’re used to at home. Some pets want to be attached to your hip, while others need time and space to warm up, and I’m happy to let them set the pace. I have two cats of my own and have had cats throughout my life, so I’m very comfortable with cat care as well as dogs. I’m used to everything from easygoing pets to the stubborn, mischievous, and “will absolutely eat that if you turn around for two seconds” variety. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll pay attention to your instructions, keep you updated, and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I spend most of my free time at home and have a pretty flexible routine, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, playtime and company. We always start the day with a morning walk before I head to work, and I’m usually home by 3pm for the rest of the afternoon and evening. When I’m not home, my husband usually is, so there’s typically someone around to keep an eye on things and give your pet some company. I can sometimes accommodate short-notice requests, and I live right next to two parks in a safe neighborhood with plenty of places to walk. My home is kept pretty pet-safe — my two cats are professional troublemakers, so they’ve made sure we don’t leave much out that curious pets can get into. It’s just my husband and me at home, so there aren’t lots of unfamiliar people coming and going. We have a fully fenced backyard, and the house is mostly hardwood and tile, so scratches, muddy paws, and normal pet messes aren’t something I stress about. If your pet needs their own space, they can also have an entire room to themselves for a quiet, comfortable place to relax.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Yelm
My kitties love Lorie and Lorelai! We have had them care for our four cats several times and they always go above and beyond! Lorie provides detailed updates and pictures every visit which helps put my mind at ease while we are away. Thank you for pouring so much love and energy into caring for my cats and home! I appreciate you!

Julie has been fantastic! She’s dropped in for multiple visits with my kitty Charlie while I’m traveling and is always on time and takes great care of her. She’s also been very accommodating when last minute changes pop up like with one of my recent bookings. She even sends me pictures and updates about how each visit went which means a lot when I’m on the road and missing my fur baby!

This is the 2nd time we have used Sara to watch our fur baby, Maddie. We were thrilled she was available on short notice to do 3 drop-in visits to feed and play with our cat. It's such a great feeling knowing that someone we can trust is there to love on our baby girl as much as we do. I will absolutely check Sara's availability before I book my next vacation!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 .

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.

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.
