“Laurel did an amazing job caring for our kitty and home while we were out of town. She checked in and provided updates. She went the extra mile to make our kitty as comfortable as possible, bringing calming sprays and toys. She also was incredibly thoughtful in handling little things around the house, like bringing in a package, doing the dishes, and leaving everything tidy and clean. We are so thankful to Laurel for everything and can highly recommend her as a pet and house sitter!”
“Tyler was an amazing house/pet sitter for us! He is incredibly communicative, kind, and thoughtful. Our pup was very well cared for and we will definitely be booking with Tyler again in the future. We can’t recommend him highly enough!”
“Jean has been watching our labradoodle through Rover since 2018. She always goes above and beyond- long walks, daily updates & the best care. We don't worry for one second while she is with Jean & we can't recommend her enough.”
“She is amazing! Patient , kind, and great with animals!! She fed Malikai and took him out and cater for this big scaredy fluff ball! Thank you so much! I will book again!”
“Baylee was a great sitter! She was very easy to communicate with before and during the stay. The animals warmed up to her very quickly and were well taken care of. She sent lots of photos each day, which we always appreciate! Would book with Baylee again.”
“Menaces was attentive, thoughtful and so kind to our babies! She sent lots of pics and updates and made us feel confident they were in good hands. She left our house clean and taken care of. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Tyler took wonderful care of our dog and kept her company and kept her safe during the fireworks for the holiday! We will be happy to have him stay with her again :)”
“This was our first time using Dmytro and it was great! Fast and consistent communication, worked well with multiple changes to the visit and sent pictures of two happy dogs!”
“Christine is absolutely amazing! She sent us loads of photos and updates the whole time we were away. This was especially important since we were dropping off our daughter at college for the first time and it was very hard to leave her dog she’s known as a kindergartener. Christine knew the stakes! I’d book her again in a heartbeat.”
About: Hello! I have been caring for animals and people for most of my life, and it is my passion. I raised my dog from puppyhood, and have over a decade of experience with pets ranging from babies-seniors with all types of specific required care. What sets me apart from many other caregivers is my ability to make genuine connection with people and pets, providing a safe, secure, and loving environment. I come highly recommended from the different families I have pet/house sat for, and I make it a priority to leave every space I enter nicer than I found it. I am a part-time student with a very flexible schedule and the ability to stay overnight. I live with my family and our two dogs north of Seattle and I have an electric car with a seat protector in the back for adventures with furry friends! I have experience caring for a variety of animals in a variety of homes and apartments. When my dog was a puppy, we had a fenced in area of the kitchen for him and his brother to aid in easy cleanup, and plenty of space for play. I crate-trained my dog, and made it a cozy space for him to relax in any time he needs. I've cared for senior dogs and cats who have medication schedules and other special needs. In some homes that I've pet-sat in, there was designated furniture to cuddle pets on, while in others, their furry friends had free range of the home. I am capable of providing love, joy, and security, to pets in any environment. My father did professional carpet cleaning while in college and has taught me his tips and tricks, so I am well-equipped to handle puppy/senior accidents with supplies that your home may have.
“Kristy is amazing and we are so lBlessed to have her watch Kaya and Big. Genuine, caring and authentic care for our doggies this weekend. We were able to enjoy the event knowing that the doggies are in great care and hands with Kristy.”
“Jeshsie was fantastic taking care of our home and pup for 5 nights. She quickly built trust with our dog and made sure she was given lots of love and attention while we were away. We appreciated her daily photos and proactive communication.”
About: I’ve been a dog parent, on and off, since 2006 from 5lbs to 90lbs dogs. I am confident, patient, & praise positive reinforcements for best communication. Open availability. I work remotely full-time and control my own schedule. All my services are available throughout the week and weekends for one-time or ongoing. We have a gated balcony on our second floor unit and pet friendly environment in our complex. Easy access to walking trails and Marymoor park. My 3 year-old helps with feeding, play, walks, and cuddles. During the day between 10-6pm we have the option of daycare or grandparent’s care and some weekends if necessary. We have hardwood floors with a few area rugs. We allow dogs on couch and bed if preferred.
About: I grew up caring for my family’s cats and dogs, and I currently have two cats of my own. I also spent six months at a dog boarding and training facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. During that time, I gained hands-on experience with everything from dogs who were learning how to walk on a leash for the first time to dogs who struggled with fear, reactivity, and aggression towards people or other dogs. I learned the importance of patience, consistency, trust, and meeting each dog where they are. I’m also the go-to pet sitter for friends and regularly provide in-home stay, caring for multiple pets at a time. Whether your pet needs a little extra patience, lots of playtime, or simply a calm and loving presence, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet behind. I’ll treat them like my own and do everything I can to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I work a flexible full-time hybrid job, which allows me to offer a wide range of availability throughout the week. I’m available for daytime visits, walks, and overnight stays, with weekend availability when scheduled in advance. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide consistent, attentive care. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll maintain their normal routine, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep their space clean and comfortable. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I give my own.
“Bricca is awesome! She watched my dog and my home for a week and provided daily pics of Poppy for me. She’s an excellent communicator. The house was just as I’d left it and she laundered everything she used. Would definitely hire her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bothell
Amazing experience! 10 Star Review! Responsive, communicative, kind, cared for my dog and my home . She was a life saver in a very odd dog watching fiasco (friend stayed and then left before the sitting was done). I was out of of the country traveling and needed someone to step in for and care for my senior dog. She made it happen and returned my piece of mind during a very stressful situation. I am very grateful for her service. Great experience!
Anna did so great with Penny. Had a sitter cancel on me last minute so I met Anna the week of the scheduled house-stay. At the meet and greet I knew she would do great with Penny. She kept me updated while away and asked questions when needed. I really appreciate her!
Aasha has a very loving, calming and joyful personality. She sat Toby as if he was her own. She took care of our house well and made sure Toby was cared for at all times. We would absolutely recommend Aasha and definitely looking to call her back. Thanks Aasha!
We couldn’t be happier with the care Neomi provided for our three dogs while we were out of the country! She took such wonderful care of our pets, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly cared about making sure our dogs were happy and well cared for. On top of that, we came home to an incredibly clean house, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated bonus. We’re so grateful to Neomi for her excellent care and attention to detail. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring pet sitter. We would definitely book her again!
Teresa is an awesome dog sitter! She took wonderful care of our 10-year-old golden retriever while we were away for two weeks. Two walks a day, lots of hugs, medications on schedule, and the house looked wonderful! She kept us up to date on everything. and definitely spoiled our pal! We highly recommend her, and we give her 100 stars if they were available. Thank you, Teresa
Branden is great. He is very communicative, punctual and respectful. He found dog tv for my dog. He handled sudden requests, like please get my mail-I forgot to ask- very pleasant the whole time. First time I ever had someone stay in my house. I am very private, a bit eccentric, -Brendan made me very comfortable. I never stressed once while gone which was 10 days. Brendan took care my 1 dog and 2 cats. I would recommend and rebook
Elizabeth is great! She cared so patiently for our dog who was stressed by us leaving. She has great dog sense and was gentle and kind. She sent pictures and updates and we knew the dogs were in good hands. It allowed us to enjoy our family vacation and not worry about our furry family at home.

The average cost of House Sitting in Bothell is $60 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $122 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Bothell walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bothell maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
