“Jade did a fantastic job taking care of our cats. She was very diligent about making sure their feeders were working and very patient with our shy kitties. Would absolutely hire again.”
“Jovian was wonderful with my cat! She was caring, reliable, and attentive, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my cat was in good hands. I highly recommend Jovian and would happily book her again!”
“Yi did an amazing job of checking in on our kitty each day while we were on vacation. She sent lots of great videos and photos where our cat was clearly enjoying her company and excited to see her. We made some specific requests around food and water that Yi did a great job of following. We would book again with Yi.”
About: I've been an owner of several animals including dogs, cats, tortoises, birds, hamsters and fish, and I have some experience training dogs. I have also pet sitted dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, fish and other pets. I'd love to hear what are your pet's particular needs and be your pet'd favorite vacation spot. I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend playing outside with your pet, giving them belly rubs or taking them in walks in the neighborhood. I have a fenced yard with grass and plants and a friendly dog to keep your dog company. I also can go to your home to spend time with your pet.
“Tyler was awesome while taking care of our cat Sparty!! He was super communicative and we loved getting our daily photo updates from him! We will definitely be booking with Tyler again in the future!”
“We lucked out finding Alex! She handles our daily Monday–Friday walks and is always consistent, punctual, and incredibly thorough. It gives us total peace of mind knowing our pup is in such capable hands. She is fantastic with her updates and never cuts corners. If you want a reliable walker you can truly depend on, hire Alex!”
About: I have hands-on experience working with multiple dog and cat breeds, adapting easily to different energy levels, sizes, and personalities. My background spans a wide range of essential care, from dog walking and thorough check ins to bathing and administering medications. Friends and family have relied on me previously to manage care for their pets during extended vacations and trips. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I have plenty of time to take care and play with your preps, ensuring they get the focused attention, exercise, and love they deserve! When caring for pets at a client’s home, my top priority is maintaining their sense of security, safety, and comfort in their own environment. I know pets thrive on routine, so I would ensure they are as comfortable as possible with a new sitter by following their schedules for feeding and exercise. I focus on giving them undivided attention and play! Sending photo updates and messages so the owners have peace of mind while they are away is also important to me.
About: Hello! I'm here to offer your pet a calm, confident, and deeply experienced presence while you're away. My journey in animal care started when I was ten, and I've spent the years since dedicated to raising and caring for countless pets—from tiny new litters to graceful seniors. This long history has given me a deep and rare comfort level with animals; honestly, I've become almost more comfortable with pets than I am with people! What this means for you: Your pet's individual well-being is my mission. I don't just follow a schedule; I work hard to understand every animal's unique quirks, likes, and dislikes to ensure they are truly happy and relaxed in my care. 🌟 My Top Skills & Experience 1. Expert Behavioral & Stress Management I have professional experience working at a dog hotel, where I was formally trained to recognize and respond to subtle signs of stress, anxiety, or illness. I treat this training as my number one priority, ensuring a smooth and low-stress experience for your furry family member. 2. Complete Life-Cycle Care I am proficient and comfortable caring for animals in all stages of their life, from boisterous puppyhood to the gentle, sensitive care required by geriatric pets. If your pet requires specialized attention—whether it’s slow walking, gentle handling, or medication administration—you can trust I am ready. 3. Grooming & Hygiene Confidence My experience includes trimming, bathing, and small grooming tasks, meaning I can keep your pet tidy and comfortable during their stay. Best of all: I am not grossed out by any messes or slobber! Accidents happen, and I am very good at cleanup—I handle it efficiently and without fuss, so your home stays clean and your pet is never stressed by the situation. 📝 What to Expect When You Book Me A Detailed Consultation: Before the first service, we'll review every detail of your pet's routine, including their personal quirks and triggers. Constant, Clear Updates: You'll receive consistent updates and photos, giving you complete peace of mind. A Dedication to Comfort: My goal is to make your absence as smooth as possible for your pet. I believe a happy pet is one who feels understood. I look forward to meeting you and your amazing companion! At this time, I do not offer care in my home. All care will be done in your pet's environment to ensure they have the most comfortable experience while you are away.
“Katie is amazing. She's very responsive and it's apparent she truly loves animals. I have had her house sit my dog and do drop ins for my cat. She asks questions, and makes sure she understands exactly what is best for the animal so they get the care they need.”
“David went above and beyond, and even got our grumpy senior cat to like him. He did a great job at keeping the cats company while we were away and keeping an eye on our house. We appreciated his attention to detail and making sure our cats were well looked after.”
About: For Christmas last year, my little nephew gave me a magnet that says: Life Goal, Pet ALL the Dogs. My love of animals is written on my sleeve. My pet family consists of my 9 year old flat-coated retriever mix my best friend Rex and my curious cats Enzo and Leo. I have taken care of many friends and family pets over the years, and am excited to be joining the Rover team. I work outside the home Monday through Friday and am interested in walking or visiting your pets before or after work during the week or helping out on weekends. I’m flexible with routines and pay attention to the details, ensuring your pet feels as comfortable as possible while you’re away. If you'd like, I’m happy to stick to regular walk times, feeding schedules, and medications. I'd also be happy to water your houseplants.
“Kristie continues to impress me with her calm and sweet demeanor. Teddy has adopted her completely into his family! She is on time and great about communication! Will definitely be using her for all our dog sitting. ”
“This was my first time using Rover—and my first time having someone outside of family care for my furry family member. I was a bit hesitant at first, not knowing what to expect. But Rover made the process easy, and more importantly, I found a wonderful cat caregiver in Brooke. We did a meet-and-greet at my home, and I instantly knew my cat was comfortable when he greeted her at the door. Brooke was attentive as I explained his routine and asked thoughtful questions that showed her experience and genuine care. While I was traveling, she checked in daily with detailed notes and adorable photos (bonus: she has a real knack for capturing the best pet moments!). From my cat’s relaxed expressions, it was clear he was well cared for, not stressed, and thoroughly enjoying the playtime and treats Brooke provided. Knowing he was in such good hands gave me tremendous peace of mind. I’ll absolutely be booking Brooke again for future trips!”
“Such a wonderful person . Took care of our 4 month old puppy with ease , with all her mischievous activities . Followed the given schedule and had play time with her . Our puppy loves her as well”
“Debs and Paul were super responsive and reliable and did a great job. I got daily photos and reports while I was away...felt like my chickens were in good hands! Jon”
About: I grew up with dogs and I’ve been caring for animals since I was 21 when I got my first cat. I love walking, giving pets, cuddling and playing with animals. I became my parents care takers full time once my dad got sick with Alzheimer’s and I quit my job to be with them in their home for 3 years. They have since passed. And I haven’t got back into work since my mom passed just a year ago. Willing to walk your dog, willing to play with toys and give lots of love. Will play with kitties and give them attention if wanted.

I wish I could give 10 stars! Laurel loved our dog just like her own. She was very patient with her puppy nature and really went the extra mile on making her feel loved and meeting her needs. She even washed out her feeding bowl for us and left us with a splash mat for her water bowl! We’ll definitely be reaching out to Laurel again!
Stephanie was great!!! She took such great care of our pup and really knows her stuff across the board when it comes to cats and dogs. Super trustworthy, responsive and reliable. Everything you look for in someone looking after your fur baby. Thank you Stephanie!
Came for a meet and greet prior to the check-in. That was very helpful to go through feeding instructions and to make sure everyone would get along. The dogs seemed to love her! She was very nice when we met. The check-in went smooth with no issues. She sent photos of the dogs and their happy faces. I really appreciated that she left a description of the check-in.
JR was awesome! My 2 golden retrievers were well taken care of. Updates included lots of pictures and verification of all the important things to make me feel totally at ease while they were in her care. I always knew they got outside exercise, had water, got some extra love and hugs and were fed. I came home to happy pups. Will definitely book JR again.
Christine did an amazing job taking special care, giving meds to our senior pup! Our pup can be tricky to give meds to, Christine was gentle and patient, and was able to give them to her. Christine was also great with communication and updates, and was very thoughtful in making sure Daisy was comfortable with her drop-in visits! I would definitely recommend Christine for helping with any pet needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Bothell is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $44 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 10,945 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Bothell. 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bothell choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Bothell with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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.
