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!

Niomi is so amazing...she came by to take care of my overly excited 12 week old puppy while I was gone for a few hours. I loved reading her note and seeing her pictures while I was gone, Freddy was clearly happy and being well taken care of!

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, both my own and others’. I used to work in professional pet transportation across the U.S., which gave me strong skills in handling animals with different temperaments and needs. I’m confident with everything from feeding and walking to giving medications and supporting anxious or senior pets. My home is calm and pet-friendly, and I treat every animal like part of the family. I’m currently fully available and ready to dedicate all my time to caring for your pets. Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I’m here to make sure your furry friend gets all the attention, love, and care they deserve. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly home environment where your pet can feel safe and comfortable. I’m attentive to each animal’s needs and always follow your care instructions. If needed, I can also crate your pet or maintain their routine closely.

Kelsey was very responsive and texted great updates and photos during his drop-in visits for our cat and dog. He even sent me the screenshots of his walking length and route from Strava when he took our dog out for walks. I will definitely book with Kelsey again!

This month Clyde was recovering from an injury for 3 weeks. I cannot begin to tell you what a lifesaver Stardust has been. While no walks, she gave him the comfort he needed to heal. She's the best!!!

About: I’ve started at an early age training blue heelers. I retired my service dog two years ago. She is personally trained of off leash hiking. I have two cats. One loves hiking and biking with me. The other enjoys home activities and cuddles. No matter what your fur babies enjoy I can adapt. They enjoy walks and hikes, or they enjoy a good nap with some good home play I don’t mind. I will send the cutest pics and videos if you enjoy updates. I work Monday through Friday. Six am to two pm. I can take off lunch for potty and play time. Before work we can walk/eat/potty same with after. What ever the diet, exercise, or routine is I will continue them as requested. I understand how important diet, medication and routine is for our fur babies.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and am very comfortable caring for pets of different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. As a student-athlete, I’m also very active, so I enjoy long walks, playtime, and making sure dogs get plenty of attention and exercise. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I currently have a flexible schedule. This gives me plenty of availability throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins. I’m able to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, care, and companionship. Because my schedule is flexible, I can also accommodate different routines and spend quality time making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, medications, playtime, walks, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, comfort, and supervision while keeping their environment clean and safe.

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’ve had dogs since I was ten years old and love getting to know them. I will be their calm and confident leader. Safety is my top priority (with fun being close behind) I will tailor each visit to the individual pet depending on their needs and personality. I run with my dog Daisy 4-6 miles a day and would love to adventure with yours! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Beginning in the Fall I will be available every Wednesday & Thursday morning for walks/jogs. As of now I am available for boardings anytime. For walks and jogs I am currently available at various times throughout the week. We are diligent about keeping our doors shut for our pets safety. Our dog has a long leash she can use in order to explore our backyard whenever she wants. I am adaptable and happy to follow each owner’s specific requirements for their home and keep the pets safety as my top priority.

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.

Sienna was beyond wonderful. She took care of my sweet elderly cat for two weeks when I had to go out of town. Before I left, she came over to the house to get to know me and my cat; while I was gone, I got updates and pictures with every visit, and I knew Cat was in the best hands possible. I didn't worry for a second with Sienna taking care of her, and that was such a huge relief. If you need someone who truly takes their time to get to know you and your pets, look no further. She is absolutely the best pet sitter I've ever had.

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 have been a pet owner since I was 4 years old. Having potty trained, crate trained and socialized with dogs and cats makes me comfortable with any member of your pet family. I’ve also cared for other types of pets such as fish (fresh and salt water), ferrets, parrots and more! Most recently I pet sit for 10 consecutive days for a very shy rescue puppy who, by the third day was warmed up to me with routine and small windows of play time. Seeing your pet thrive and relaxed while enjoying some human interaction is the key to successful Pet sitting in my eyes. I’m unafraid of cleaning up messes, administering medication and keeping you informed of how the care is going via phone calls, FaceTime, videos and pictures to ease your traveling mind. I am a mom who homeschools her daughter while working for the local school district which means I have the ability to be available as you need. Treating your pet like family is the best way to keep them safe and feeling relaxed. Working with you to implement current training strategies and offering all around love and care is what makes pet sitting so meaningful to me.

Tia did a fantastic job. She was caring and attentive to our old Glory. She had good communication skills and a pleasant demeanor. We were visiting from out of state. She was flexible when we changed some of the times. If anyone stays at Pioneer Trails RV Park in Anacortes, she is a reliable pet sitter. Another positive experience using Rover.

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Anacortes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Anacortes on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,120 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Anacortes. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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.
