“Niomi is simply the best petsitter! She cares for my pets as if they are her own, and sends me the best pictures of them enjoying life when I'm out of town. (When I am packing and tell them "Niomi is going to be here!" they look glad that I'm going!) You will not find a more responsible or more pure-hearted caretaker for your pets.”
“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.”
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.

I’ve trained a couple different types of dogs and a bird ranging in ages. Also able to transport locally to homes, vet, and or parks. My late sweet Pepper dog and I were Project Caine certified as a Therpy team, volunteers at island hospital, and Master Agility Champions. We look forward to meeting with other awesome dogs and their owners. I work in the travel industry, so my schedule varies. I usually know a couple weeks in advance. My spouse’s schedule varies too. Sometimes we are available 24/7 We treat Pets as Family in our home.🥰. We live on acreage close to Deception Pass. We have experience with administering 💊 medication to young and older fur babies 🐾

“Madison is great! Very trustworthy and my 20 year old cat always seems in good spirits when I get home. She delivers his medicine twice daily as prescribed and stays in touch while I'm gone. Recommend her highly.”
“Donna was very trustworthy in her drop in visits with my very shy and reticent cat. Not only did she make sure the food was replenished and the box was cleaned, she made an effort to engage with the cat. By the end of the 4 day assignment, Miss Kitty was beginning to make contact -- quite amazing. Thanks, Donna.”

“Danielle took amazing care of our senior kitty and chickens. Her communication was great! Would absolutely recommend her for any and all pet sitting needs. Loved the photo updates. We will be requesting to book her again. Thank you!!!”
“As always, Dasha took great care of Midori while we were gone. She is great with everything. A small thing, but Dasha asked about the dishwasher on her first visit to see if we would be a good fit. Since then she always starts the dishwasher right before I get back so there are clean kitty dishes and spoons when I get home. Small details like that really make me know she takes good care of Midori while we are gone.”

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.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Anacortes is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 1,096 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Anacortes. 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 .
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.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
