“Jessica is now our go to dog sitter. We have been able to enjoy a lot more worry free nights out without the dogs knowing she's home with them. She's absolutely wonderful with our dogs and they get so excited to see her.”
“Chelsea loves animals, and animals love Chelsea! Chelsea is an excellent house sitter, drop-in sitter, dog walker, pet care person of all stripes! We highly recommend her as safe and efficient. Our little dog simply loves her!”
“Jean is wonderful! She is punctual, friendly, patient and an absolute delight to have taking care of our Reggie☺️ She also took excellent care of our home and spoiled our pup wonderfully while we were away. We look forward to booking her again soon!”
“Michelle is the consummate professional. Or home and pooch we’re in very capable hands, and Charli is a handful! Kudos to Michelle for her patience and determination.”
“Alyssa has been amazing with our Luna. We are new dog owners and she has provided us so much information and good advice in taking care of Luna. Thank you so much for being patient. We appreciate you! ?”
“Christine was absolutely amazing. She took great care of our two dogs and gave us lots of updates. She was incredibly flexible with our changing plans and is just a lovely human to boot! We will definitely be booking Christine again.”
“She was the best. Very communicative and flexible. We have a large group of pets and she handled it all very well. We could not be more appreciative of the job she did. Leaving our pets with someone can be stressful but I didn't worry a bit with leaving them with her.”
“Run, don't walk to book with Tyler! We reserved an 11-day housesitting stay for our blind Pomeranian, Dax, and by the time we came home Dax was clearly disappointed that Tyler was going to leave. Tyler took him all over town on so many adventures, sent us a million updates, and made us 100% confident in the level of care and affection the li'l guy was getting while we were gone. Tyler also took great care of our home while we were away and took out the trash on the way out. There's no question he will be our go-to source for dog care in future and if he didn't so clearly deserve a rave review I'd be tempted to keep him all to ourselves! :)”
“Allison took great care of our two dogs, mischievous cat, and house. She was very communicative, sent photos, and was very responsive when our cat had some behavioral challenges.”
“Mary Ann was a guest at our house tor a week and took care of our black lab . Mary Ann quickly established a natural connection with our dog during our meet and greet, and we are happy that she was able to care for our pup. Mary Ann was professional, and provided daily updates and pictures. Mary Ann was also respectful of our house and cleaned up afterwards. Our dog was happy when we returned, and I believe he misses Mary Ann :)”
“Jenna is fabulous. Our little senior dog was lucky to have her around for the weekend. Jenna is a great communicator and detail-oriented so we felt very comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her sit for us again. Thank you, Jenna!”
“Laurel hung out with Lexi at our house for a long day while I was out of town. This was Lexi's first time with a pet sitter and I wasn't sure how it would go. Laurel sent a bunch of cute photos and videos of Lex”
“Chelsea went above and beyond to care for our girls! She sent photos and updates regularly and we arrived home to a clean house (cleaner than we left it!) and happy pooches. We are so grateful that we found her! 10/10 recommend!!”
“We wholeheartedly give Shayna five stars! 🌟 She’s a true professional and has experience working with clients with complex needs (we are also “particular” parents 🤓): Her detailed updates and frame-worthy photos were beyond what we could have hoped for. She cared for our two velcro pups — our older, well-behaved one and our younger, rambunctious, slower-to-trust puppy — with such warmth. She kept to the feeding schedule and complex instructions (we premake and weigh out their food and feed every 5 hours 3x day), gave plenty of potty breaks, and added lots of playtime. She also handled feedback with ease when we asked for less peanut butter on the lick pads, and she even shared news when it wasn’t ideal such as one one of our pups getting sick from too much peanut butter 😅 When we returned, the house was tidier than we left it ✨ (blankets folded, dishes washed, and even helped bring our bins to the curb since we’d be gone over the long weekend). We couldn’t ask for a better partner in caring for our dogs. We’re already booked with Shayna again for house sitting and drop in visits. She’s on her way to becoming a trusted presence and we’re even teaching our pups who “Miss Shana” is 💖”
“Erica was so great taking care of our dog! We came home to a happy JJ and clean house. She asked questions, was communicative and was tolerant of our house automation doing weird things!”
“We used Katie for the first time to watch our dog, and she was fantastic! She was prompt, respectful, and an excellent communicator throughout the entire process. Our dog was happy and well cared for when we returned. We’ll definitely be using her again—highly recommend!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Bothell is $65
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bothell
Ashley was a perfect dog sitter. She sent us many photos throughout her time taking care of the dogs and the dogs always looked relaxed and happy. When we got back to the house everything was just as we left it. I would recommend Ashley as a dog sitter and house sitter to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, respectful and wonderful individual.
Cindy was an amazing dog sitter! She took excellent care of my dog, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made sure my pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I could tell my dog felt safe and loved with her. I really appreciated her reliability, kindness, and attention to detail. I highly recommend Cindy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
Chels was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time having someone stay in our home and we would do it again in a heartbeat. Chels was very professional, asked great questions about our dog, was very understanding, and kept our home in immaculate condition! Our dog was dealing with some gastrointestinal issues right before our trip, which made leaving very difficult, but Chels was an absolute champion. She understood the medicine regimen, instinctively knew how we wanted to approach reintroducing food to our dog, and communicated extremely well the entire time. Over the course of our trip, Chels got our dog back onto her regular diet and we returned to a happy and healthy puppy! Words cannot express how grateful we are to Chels for a level of care that allowed us to attend a milestone event for our family with zero stress.
Fantastic! Bonnie is super-reliable, responsible and careful with home and pets. I left detailed instructions for a kitty with quirky needs and she followed them to a tee, making sure everyone had the care they were used to. We got home and the house was as clean as we left it and the kitties were happy. I've already recommended Bonnie to friends and we'll be happy to book again!
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!
Jean & Elena took all the stress out of our 10-day vacation away from our three doggos. They sent daily pictures and updates, spent time playing and walking them, and even managed a few appointments for us. We returned to happy, healthy dogs and a clean, well-kept home. A wonderful experience and highly recommended!
Kino was incredible!! This was our first time using Rover and she was willing to come meet us beforehand to make us feel comfortable. She immediately bonded with our pup and ensured we would get updates during the visit. Kino arrived on time and was ready for a very long day with our dog. She did amazing! Sent us pictures throughout the whole day, she was so helpful with the house, and really kept us at ease with unique requests.
Stephani was so wonderful and my pets. Stephani stayed over to take care of my animal pack while I was away, she checked in as often as we agreed and sent pictures of activities along the week. I have two cats and one small dog and when I returned everyone was happy.
Liv was amazing with my two pups! She sent great pictures and updates while I was away, and was super flexible in accommodating a few extra nights when my plans changed. I have two older dogs who have some additional needs, and she took care of them with ease. I highly recommend her for your pet care needs.
This was our fourth time having Teresa house sit and care for our big goofy dog 🐕 and spicey cat. 🐈⬛. Once again they are super happy and well cared for and we are very appreciative of the care and attention to detail Teresa gives them and their needs. I highly recommend her and already have another week booked with her later this summer.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bothell on Rover is $58.25 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,567 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.
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.
