My cats and dog are so important to me-as I imagine yours are to you-so I’d love to help take care of yours while you’re away! I am currently working freelance roles, so my availability is very open and flexible. This means I’m happy to accommodate yours pets usual routine times. Pets are so special. I will provide both a calming and/or energetic presence depending on their personality. I’m very reliable and on-time, and will make sure your pets needs and wants are met!

About: I've always loved being around animals and have lots of experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra love and patience. I currently work as a PA, so I'm comfortable with giving medications, sticking to routines, and noticing when something seems off. I'm also a cat dad to two kitties one senior kitty and one young kitty with the energy of a lion so I truly understand different needs, energy levels, and personalities. I treat every pet like my own and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that's walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, and I'd love to take great care of your pets while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive care, check-ins, walks, and quality time throughout the day. I'm available on weekdays (especially afternoons and evenings) as well as weekends, and I'm happy to work around your pet's usual schedule to keep things consistent. I prioritize reliable timing, clear communication, and making sure each pet gets the attention they need rather than feeling rushed. I care for pets in a calm, safe, and familiar way, whether that’s in my home or in my client’s home. I follow all routines closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions, to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I’m very attentive to doors, windows, and household safety, and I always make sure pets are secure and supervised.
“Mindy has watched our dogs a few times now and has always been on time, caring and following our instructions. She got along with our dogs immediately and I would never hesitate to recommend Mindy to others.”
About: I LOVE dogs of all types, especially medium to large breeds that love to walk. I have owned multiple dogs at one time and we live in a great location, by the river with lots of trails & dog friendly walking terrain. We have a fully fenced yard with lots of room to roam, allowing for frisbee & ball play time keeping the pups & humans engaged. Your fur friend will not be alone & we will offer free pets, walks & play time, as we have a pup as well who is Mr. Social! I’m currently working part time as a fitness coach close by & sub teacher & generally home most of the time. I love medium to large dogs, but just recently lost our 17 year old little dog. I have a fully fenced yard and always monitor our dogs outside. Inside, we use a fenced off area to keep dogs out of kitchen & downstairs. I prefer no dogs on furniture and up to date on vaccines.
“Tiffany was wonderful with our pug, Marcy! She stopped by several times while we were away to make sure that Marcy was fed, walked, and got some quality play time. I really appreciated the pictures she took, as I always miss Marcy so much when I’m away. Tiffany is extremely knowedgable in dog care. I felt very safe leaving Marcy in her hands. Will definitely book with her again!”
About: Providing regular pupdates while your away seems to really bring my clients peace of mind. My experience and expertise speak for themself, and I assure you that i know how to put a dog at ease and the training in canine language and behavior and my ability to communicate is what builds a trust and bond that my clients rave about. My abilities have helped a lot of traumatized pups find happiness from my one of a kind technique that I have carefully mastered from my time of over a decade in the canine grooming,pet behavior modification training and time working in the pet care industry. I use holistic approaches to build a trust with your animal and in turn their willingness to please is almost instant once that bond is formed. I am a pet groomer by day and also provide pet care services such as pet training, pet socializing, pet solo or group walks, boarding, and I also have the training and experience to help modify anxious or poor behavior traits through many different techniques and utilizing positive rewards to help modify the behavior we are wishing to possibly change. I love all animals and believe all animals deserve their boundaries respected but also building trust to allow the pet to put their faith in what I'm teaching them. I ensure they have private feeding and sleeping areas. Have a huge area for the dogs to play and run and get the exercise out that tends to get pent up and also have a groom room for dog haircuts, nail trims, anal gland expressions and your basic bath and blow outs.
About: I started to take care of my aunt’s dog when I was young. During COVID time I got my own Cavapoo and I eagerly learned how to train, feed and play with her everyday. Besides, I frequently helped to babysit friends dogs whenever they are out for vacation. I work from home 5 days a week, which makes me very flexible to take dogs for a walk or have play session with them. I live in an apartment which has dog park and dog wash stations and I do live in a very dog-friendly community. Also I have a friendly dog may be able to play date with other dog.
About: I am an avid pet lover of all types. I own two dogs and two cats and have been a pet owner for my entire like. I love all animals big and small. I have a flexible schedule and come mornings or evenings. I prefer to stay close to Sammamish/Issaquah. If you are outside that area..just ask and I will see if I can accommodate. I prefer home visits to care for cats or dogs but I can take one small/medium dog into my home. I would need to have a meet and greet with. my dogs first.
“Sage did a wonderful job taking care of Licorice! He managed to deal with our apartment instructions and make sure our pup had his trips to the bathroom! I look forward to booking with him again!”
About: I absolutely adore animals, especially dogs and cats. I began pet sitting when I was around 17 years old. My love grew as I got older and more established in my care. My experience ranges from kittens and puppies to seniors. Despite the age I've worked with, I've worked with many temperaments. Shy, energetic, anxious, you name it! I'll always be sure to provide the right attention to your pet. I will also provide playtime, affection, and keep their water bowls full. Rest assured that your pet will be in the right hands. I am a part-time student and employee. Despite that, I will work around my schedule to deliver your pet the best care they can have. My availability is open Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Morning through night. I can provide morning walks and feedings, mid-day drop ins around lunchtime, and nightly checks as well. I know how stressful it can be putting your pet into the hands of someone else, so I'm always okay with meeting first to put any stressors you may have to rest. I will send consistent messages, photos, and location updates to you regarding your pet and their safety. I understand maintaining cleanliness and building routines, and I will cater to your pet's needs, whether that be a simple drop-in, dog walk, or house sitting.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ames Lake
Zach was absolutely wonderful! We needed a sitter last minute after realizing the National Parks we planned to visit the next day didn’t allow dogs. We were nervous at first as we had never left our dogs with a sitter and one of our girls is a very anxious senior. Zach was amazing and made us feel much more comfortable by updating us frequently during his visit and sending lots of photos! We could tell our dogs got some exercise as they were tired when we got home! We will definitely be using Zach in the future!
Ana is fantastic. She is taking care of our 3 month old puppy absolutely flawlessly. Ana really loves dogs and has an excellent feel for them. Our puppy loves her so much. She is very reliable and I feel so relieved someone like Ana is taking care of our little boy!
Ben did a great job with our three cats. He arrived reliably to take care of their necessities, and ensured each cat got some attention and play time. This was especially important for our most skittish cat who can be hard to coax out, especially when her brothers like to hog the toys. We immediately noticed when we got home that she was more interactive and assertive at play time which is fantastic. He always sent us pictures and short videos from each visit, and we looked forward to each of them daily. We would definitely hire him again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ames Lake is $30 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $50 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 November 2026, there are 11,267 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ames Lake. 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 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.

- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
