“Jessica was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs, Cole and Gina. She sent us regular emails and pictures during our vacation. We could tell that the dogs were happy and comfortable with Jessica and her daughter. She was also highly communicative and let us know if she had questions regarding their care. I would highly recommend Jessica and we plan to employ herservices again 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.
“Jean was great with our puppy. She played with her, sent us photos and kept us up to date. We felt very comfortable with her in our house and watching our puppy. We will definitely hire her again.”
“Wonderful sitter! thoughtful, reliable, provided care for our dog’s eye that had just started antibiotic. And very trustworthy as she took our dog to Vet to be seen when eye didn’t improve, upon our request. We are beyond happy that she was referred to us ~ we’ll be using her again! Highly recommend her.”
“Tyler was super responsive and attentive to the needs of the dog. He took amazing care of our home and ensured our instructions were executed to a t. I would recommend him to anyone else in the future”
“Elizabeth was such a great Rover sitter for our dog Jasper. She showed up on time and sent us updates throughout the day! She even took our dog on a walk. Our house was picked up when we got home and Jasper seemed like he had a great time. I definitely recommend Elizabeth for your next dog sitting needs.”
“Baylee was an incredible pet sitter for our 2 small dogs and 2 cats. She constantly provided photos of our pets throughout the day, was very communicative, and kept our house in pristine condition. It felt amazing to come home knowing our babies were so loved and that the house was so clean. I would definitely use her again in the future.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Lindsey was house sitting with our cat for 2 nights and we were really happy with the experience. Our cat gets stressed when we are away so finding someone who would give her attention and who we could trust was important to us. The meet and greet already gave us a good feeling. Lindsey asked great questions about the cat's routine and needs, you could tell she actually cares. While we were away she sent us regular updates and photos without us asking, which made it so easy to switch off and enjoy our trip. Knowing our cat was in good hands made a big difference. We came back to a happy cat and a clean house. Can't ask for more than that. We will definitely use Lindsey again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely cares about your pet.”
“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.”
“Second time booking Anastasia and just as happy as the first time! Will definitely continue to book with her. She takes such great care of my pups and they’re always so happy when I get home.”
“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.”
“Kira was an amazing dog sitter! One of our dogs has separation anxiety, and Kira did a great job keeping her calm and cared for. They also asked a lot of great questions to make sure they had all of the information they needed about our dogs while we were gone. They sent us pictures of the dogs and gave status updates while we were gone which was really appreciated! They were very flexible with time too, I was able to book them with just a few days notice, and had to stay out later than expected which was no problem for them. Overall it was a great experience, our pups seemed very happy. Thanks Kira! <3”
“Marcie charmed my challenging dog in minutes. I received multiple updates and now they are best friends. Highly recommend! I will have her housesit again.”
“2nd time that Kristy looked after our girls. It was an overnight rover and she made sure to keep us updated and followed all of our instructions. We felt calm and safe that she could take care of our pups which is a great feeling. Would book again!”
“Jessica was such a good sitter for my somewhat unruly German Shepherd. She stayed in touch while I was gone and gave me peace of mind that Rajah was in good hands. I chose rover.com because my dog Rajah has separation anxiety. He received one on one care. Jessica provided this for him. I would choose 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.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our senior pup was clearly relaxed and comfortable the whole time, and we loved getting photo updates and little notes that showed real care and attention. The house was tidy and just as we left it. Chels is dependable, kind, and genuinely caring. We’d absolutely book again.
Bev asked excellent questions in preparation for sitting our energetic spaniel Cash. We felt completely comfortable that she knew how to feed and walk him and keep him comfortable with her good company. She is thoroughly professional, and we look forward to having her services again. She is such a nice person that it is a pleasure to know her.
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.
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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 .
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.
