“Stephani was such a wonderful sitter for our handful of dogs, that have their various needs (i.e., prescriptions) and strong personalities being huskies. Our doggos seemed instantly calm with her during the meet and greet, and when we returned they didn't want to leave her side. We are so appreciative of her staying with them and giving them such love and care!”
“Jean was wonderful! She was punctual, friendly, and incredibly sweet to our pups. We would highly recommend her and look forward to booking her again for future trips.”
“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!”
“Robert was ABSOLUTELY fabulous! He was patient, thoughtful, and really communicative. From the moment we requested a sitter until after the service was complete, he was swift to respond, sent lots of pictures, and kept us updated on all the pet care rituals. He did not flinch when the breaker needed to be reset during a housesit, and he took such wonderful care of our tankgirl, Bailey. 5 stars, 2 thumbs way up, and a 3 snaps in Z formation! Highly recommend.”
“I almost hate to write this, because Karen may get so busy that I won’t be able to book her! I can’t say enough good about her. Probably the best part was that she had my really anxious/antisocial pup relaxed in no time—and it was July 4. Fireworks going off all the time. Karen sent me updates and pics of both dogs on a regular basis. I do believe my house was cleaner than when I left it. Karen even contacted me for pooper scooper info. Wonderful energy. She is “the dog whisperer.””
“Elizabeth was great! She took great care of our dog, sent us daily reports and pictures and left the house in perfect condition. It's the first vacation in years where we were completely stress-free! We've already booked her for our next trip!”
“Barbara was fantastic! She did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs and aquarium. One of our dogs is very nervous around new people and by the end of Barbara's stay, the dog was comfortable with her. She provide updates daily and did not hesitate when any instructions were unclear. I will definitely book with Barbara again.”
“Morgan is such a delightful human! One of my dogs was fresh out of surgery and needing constant supervision and reassurance and my other dog has separation anxiety and is very anxious with new people. My older dog loved her instantly and my younger warmed up to her so quickly! It’s very apparent that she’s a fantastic pet parent and brings that same love and care to any dog she’s watching. I felt very comfortable leaving them with her. I came back later to find them all snuggled up together, my dogs sleeping peacefully on her lap. They were so sad when she left!”
“Lauren was great with all of our pets and was super responsive and flexible. She also took on other responsibilities outside of pet sitting. We will definitely have her care for our pets in the future.”
About: I am a detail oriented sitter and I care about sticking to the care plan. I like playing with pets, so they're sure to get enough exercise! I am a cat owner, so it is part of my daily routine to take care of them. Pets are a priority, especially when it comes to feeding properly. I live in an apartment and have indoor cats. They receive a kibble for indoor cats and water daily as needed. They each have their own litter box in different rooms. I have a variety of toys for them.
“Valerie was very professional and listened to what I needed and what the dog want. She stayed at my home. I would recommend Valerie to take care of your pootch.”
“Cindy watched my dog for a weekend and did an excellent job! She was highly communicative, sent lots of pictures, and was very adaptable with my timeline that changed a lot in the days leading up to my trip. Would highly recommend her for any pet care!”
“Katherine is great! I could tell within minutes of meeting her that she was capable and dependable. She sent pictures of our Riley during her stay, washed the sheets, and offered to come back if we got stuck in traffic. I can’t say enough good things and we will definitely be booking her again soon!”
“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.”
“Lindsey has been, by far, the best dog sitter I have found on this site. My dogs are both on the larger side and seniors, both require multiple meds and are high & low maintenance at the same time. Outside, sleep, outside, diaper, outside, sleep, outside, diaper, you get the gist. Lindsey handled it beautifully. She was communicative throughout, shared many pictures, provided updates and asked questions, without hesitation, that you never really are able to address during a meet & greet. It was an amazing and comforting benefit that my neighbor, who liked walking the dogs with me, told me that she was 'chopped liver' compared to the way the dogs interacted with Lindsey. My neighbor has known and walked with us for over 11 years, always has treats & she took a second class rating to Lindsey!! She is more than worthy of this review. I hope that this helps when other pup parents are looking for someone that they can trust and leave their loved ones in good hands without worry when needed.”
“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!”
“We booked For home sitting services with Jessica and Tim. Tim was amazing with my dog, Lucky! He arrived right on time and spent the whole day with him, giving him great care and attention. Both Tim and Jessica are wonderful people, and I’m really looking forward to having them sit for Lucky again.”
“Chelsea did a fantastic job. She was very communicative and kept us up to date throughout the 5 days we were gone. She took care of everything we needed, and kept Lucy (our staffy bull terrier pup) happy and entertained - which is no small feat. Strong recommendation! We’ll definitely work with her again.”

Elizabeth really came through for me when I was out of the country and the sitter I had booked had to leave early. She was on-time, gave great updates and my dogs love her! I was able to relax and enjoy the last day of my vacation knowing that my doggies were being well cared for and attended to.
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.
Meka is amazing and pickle adores her. Today we had a minor emergency and we were out of town. Meka stepped up and made sure Pickle was safe until we could put a plan in place. This was priceless and you can’t put stars or money on it’s value. If I could give 10 stars I would. You can’t go wrong with her caring for your fur babies. Meka we were so lucky for your help.
Katie is always my first choice to take care of our beloved kitty, Boots! She is incredibly reliable, responsive, and goes above and beyond. She even washed the bedsheets before she left! We always feel so comfortable knowing Boots is in her care. Highly recommend her! 🐾❤️
Cortney watched our 11 year old Lab while my wife and I were away for the weekend, and we couldn't have been more pleased. For an older dog, he has lots of energy, and he was tired and calm when we returned from all the attention he received. We'd recommend Cortney to anyone who wants peace of mind while they're away from their pets and we plan on booking her again soon!
Our dogs loved Sam. Our dogs are older and we were anxious about leaving them with somebody new. But Sam’s experience and her interactions with our pups during the meet and greet, helped put our minds at ease. She was a great communicator prior to our trip and sent daily updates with pictures. When I arrived home, the dogs and the house were well taken care of. We will definitely use Sam’s services again.
Really appreciated Chelsea so much. The dogs were spoiled as requested! She sent lots of updates and photos and I felt very secure while I was gone. When I got home, the house was super tidy - like no one had stayed here. If she’ll have us, we’ll definitely rely use her again!
Kino was wonderful! This was our first time using Rover for our three needy dogs and we were very nervous, to say the least! She made us feel extremely comfortable and reassured us that we weren’t the crazy owners we felt we were as we communicated all of their various quirks and needs. Based on the many photos she sent, our dogs quickly bonded with her. She even offered to go back to our house when our flight was delayed. We will definitely be booking again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bothell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bothell on Rover is $60 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 7,458 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bothell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.

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.
