“Niomi is professional, responsible, kind, and such a blessing for us to help take care of our puppy💕 She sends detailed updates and lots of pictures which we appreciate immensely”
“Wow, she did a super job. She tried to get my very shy cat to met her, and be happy. She feed my cat and cleaned the litter,and even dropped it in the garbage outside. She picked up the mail (which I had not thought of), and offered to water plants ( which I had someone arranged). I was completely at ease knowing things were taken care of. Highly recommended!!!!”
“Virginia is simply the best! On time, very thoughtful in taking care of my cat and does a great job overseeing all our in home cat care details and provides wonderful followup Rover Report Cards... this helps me feel at ease with how things are going. I would recommend Virginia anytime, an excellent Rover Cat Sitter!! Thank you!!”
“Stella and Rachel are fabulous cat-sitters! They came over for a meet-n-greet before we went on vacation and gave us confidence that they were a good fit for us and our two furry kids, and trustworthy to turn over my house to them. They are very conscientious of what is needed and providing love and affection to the kids. The pics from each visit and detailed write-ups were wonderful and comforting. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Kelsey was great for our first time drop in visit. Hamish was so relaxed when I came home, when I had been away the whole day. I am looking forward to trying Kelsey for longer visits.”
About: Caring for pets has always been one of my favorite things to do. I’ve been looking after cats and dogs since I was 10 years old, starting with walking my parents’ dog. Now, I have two indoor cats of my own who keep me busy and entertained every day. I make sure they stay active with plenty of playtime, attention, and cuddles, while also creating a calm and loving environment for them. I currently have open availability and a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide dependable, attentive pet care throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m dependable, respectful, and always follow pet care instructions closely. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for with plenty of playtime and attention.
“Audrey was very accommodating with the last minute drop-in visit. Unfortunately, we couldn't do a meet & greet before her visit but all went well. Everything went well and we appreciate Audrey for the care she provided our girls. Thank you, Audrey.”
“Christal was the absolute BEST, she was able to help us out in a emergency situation. She was super communicative, and appreciated the consistent updates with all her visits (I’m a worrywart ?). She very sweet and will absolutely book again when needed!”
About: I have patience when it comes to animals. If they are happy then I am happy. :) I am very active, love running, walking, being outdoors. I am accommodating to your pets needs. Whether they are indoor only, have strict diet structures, I can help make sure they are taken care of and happy My schedule is flexible with the exception of some weekends when I work my part time job managing road running races. I do not have children so being around animals brings me great joy. I have a 4 year old golden retriever and an 11 year old orange tabby that is indoor only. They are my whole world and it brings me so much happiness to provide them their best life possible. I want all animals to feel the same way.
“Both Matt and Rachel were very nice and got along with our dogs well. We have some high maintenance pups and I felt very comfortable leaving them in Matt and Rachel’s hands. They were very accommodating and able to work with us through some schedule changes due to medical needs for one of our dogs.”
About: *We do not accept bookings that give less than 48 hour notice from the start date. Sorry!* I am a professional dog trainer and breeder of Australian Shepherds. My family and I have moved all over the US and are now back in Washington! I used to run a fully operational boarding facility and board and train program in Island County and have decided to start out slow now that we're settled back in our home state. I have 20 years of experience training dogs- 15 of those years being a paid, licensed and insured professional. I take the utmost care of any animal in my charge. I treat them like family and honor all the requests made by owners to ensure their pet is treated perfectly when they are gone! I understand the love and care people have for their animals and do everything I can to show that same level of care when they are under my watch. I take videos and photos regularly to keep families updated, as well! I am a SAHM with decades of experience in the canine world. My dogs, and my clients, are my life. They are my whole routine! I am equipped to manage all varieties of dogs from the easiest house guest to dog aggressive cases or complicated medical needs. I tailor my services to each individual dog to give them the best possible care and allow their people to have some freedom and know their dog is well cared for. I make sure to chat with owners and let them know what variety of boarding I offer is most suitable for their dog. I am able to make multiple daily trips to feed, potty and play with client dogs in their homes. My times are very flexible and have often done combo stays- where your dog stays the night with me and I drive it to your home during the day and pick up again in the evening. This works well for senior dogs or puppies who need monitoring over night.
About: I am retired from teaching kids though have ALWAYS been a dog/cat/horse/ owner/lover.Now I would love to devote my time and abundant energy to caring for/loving pets of ALL ages and stages and diversities:) The more furry friends to love the merrier is my life! Because I am “ retired” from teaching, I am currently available 24/7 and being an avid outdoor enthusiast LOVE to get out in any weather any time of day to give what ever tlc your pet requires:) I no longer have children or pets of my own to care for, which allows me to me wide open to give reliable, focused care for your furry fiends upon your request in your space or in the great outdoors. I can also drive to transport them if needed:)
About: I grew up on a farm and have maybe never gone a day without a furry friend or more in my care. Most of my experience with dogs is actually with young ones but currently my dog has crossed into the senior category. I love to walk both mornings and afternoon and never am apposed to a third walk. I work from home so the dogs are not left alone much. Maybe kenneled while I run errands but typically not left more than 2 hours. I live in the center of town so I am never out long. In my home I have a baby gate to contain puppies to downstairs where I spend my time. Other mature dogs spend every moment by my side. Pets are seldom lonely with me. I have a fully fenced backyard, at the end of a long cul-de-sac.
About: I’ve been around all animals almost all my life and have always had the biggest love for them. I have also worked at veterinary offices and love almost every part of it :) I am currently doing online courses for school at skagit valley college and have an open schedule to help out with any type of animal care :) I have a fully fenced back yard that dogs would love and hardwood floors inside my house for when they are inside. I am fully capable of taking care of the animals however wanted :)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Anacortes
Sam was everything we hoped for & needed! We really appreciated & looked forward to her daily pics/updates. She clearly gave our fur boys the attention they needed. Came home to a clean house, when I know that didn’t come easy. Can’t wait to use her again in the future, thanks Sam! 🥰
10/10 recommend!! Holly did such a great job with my cat! I can tell she loves cats and is there to hang out with your pet and make them feel better while you’re gone. She’s friendly and responsive and there’s nothing to worry about. Great pictures and write up on the rover card and I felt my cat was well taken care of.
Cassidy was amazing! This was my first time utilizing rover and finding a pet sitter for my cat and I felt like my cat was in great hands with Cassidy. Communication was quick and seamless prior to booking and during the serviced days. I actually had a power outage which warranted an emergency visit which Cassidy was on top of and made an extra trip to check in on my automatic water and feeder. Will definitely be rebooking in the future :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Anacortes on Rover is $22.2 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 1,125 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Anacortes. 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 Anacortes 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.

- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 92% can help with daily exercise

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.
