“I had to leave a foster animal with separation anxiety for a few days and Shelly definitely went the extra mile in every way and made me feel so much better. She also takes great pictures and Olive was very well cared for.”

“AJ took great care of my cat and made sure my cat was OK when there was a fire alarm that went off in my apartment complex. He was great communicator and made me feel at ease checking in on my fur baby”

“Kayla was fantastic! Our kitty hates when we leave and she communicated so well about how he was doing and sent pictures so we could see him :) He isn’t the friendliest yet she was so comfortable with him. Would highly recommend!”


About: I am a lifelong animal lover who grew up with both dog and cats (as well as several reptiles and small animals), and currently have two kitties of my own—one of whom is a senior. I have experience caring for all ages, including senior and geriatric, all sizes of dogs (~5lbs to 100lbs+), and animals with additional medical needs such as medicated anxiety, hyperthyroidism, asthma, post-surgical care, and more. I also have a little over a year’s experience working at a holistic solutions-based pet store. I currently work part-time while I attend an online graduate program. I have flexible hours, especially during the week days, an am open to early mornings or late nights. I am more than happy to adapt to what works best for your space and pet! The most important part to me is spending time with your pet, be it interactive playtime or keeping an eye from afar.

About: I’m Dexter. I’ve owned dogs and cats for 26 years (my whole life), 4 different dogs and 4 different cats. I’ve trained them, spoiled them, and loved them all. I cared for them in times of good health and illness until the very end. I currently live with my family, and we have 2 golden doodles who are 5 and 6 years old. We also have 1 elderly cat that is kept in a separate area of the house. I am currently in between jobs and studying for licensing exams in the financial services industry. I don’t have any experience taking care of animals as an occupation, however, I’ve owned and taken care of pets my whole life and have a deep love for all animals. I’ve spent a significant amount of time taking care of my two golden doodles over the past 5-6 years. I also currently frequently take care of my girlfriend’s 2 year old Chocolate lab, Charlie (featured in my profile photo). All of my animals are friendly and trained, but I am happy to keep them separated if you prefer. I look forward to helping you free up your schedule and taking care of your furry friends as if they were my own. Will follow any and all instructions provided! :) I’m currently looking for full-time work but not in any hurry because I am looking for a long term career job. I spend a lot of time at home, whether I’m taking care of my animals, doing research or making food. I typically run errands and go to the gym during the day for about 2-3 hours. I have several kennels and crates in my house and plenty of toys to keep pets distracted and safe. I have a fenced yard at my home. I feel most comfortable with that environment for the safety of pets. I typically don’t take my eyes off my dogs or other pets unless I’ve put them in kennels with food, Kong and/or treat. I believe regular crate time is healthy but not always necessary if pets are well behaved. This may vary on a case by case basis.

“Stephanie is our go to for taking care of our kitty, Matcha, all throughout 2014. She’s an excellent person, she loves kitties and takes care of our home while we are out and we’ve been out quite a bit last year! Stephanie is exactly the kind of person you always wanted to have as a neighbor, just wonderful! Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Teagan has been wonderful taking care of our dog Daisy! We have used his services for regular drop in visits and he has always been prompt and accommodating to Daisy’s needs. Can’t recommend him enough!”

“Beau was really great with the dogs! My dogs are super high energy and can be kind of overwhelming at times. Beau was able to play with them and walk them while even working on their behavior. Beau was also very communicative about everything and sent pictures. I would definitely book with Beau again.”
About: I have loved animals my whole life! I took care of neighbor animals when I was younger and now pet sit often for family, friends, and coworkers. I work as an educational assistant which means I work September to June during the day. I am able to be with your animals before and after work. My schedule is 8:40-3:40. Please reach out for special arrangements. I care for pets in their home to keep them comfortable with their usual surroundings. I will give them all the love! Whatever their needs may be I will make sure they get them.
About: What sets me apart is that dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve lived with at least one dog my entire life—from growing up with a Husky/German Shepherd mix and helping care for her, to having a Pug/Dachshund mix who I took on daily walks after school. Now that I live on my own, I don’t have a dog of my own, but I really miss having a furry companion around! I’d love the opportunity to give your dog some extra attention, exercise, and companionship through walks, playtime, or visits. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs, and I’m happy to follow your routines and instructions to help your pet feel comfortable and cared for. I am working as a substitute teacher and have some flexibility depending on my schedule to walk dogs. I can also drop in for visits as needed. Weekends are open for house sitting but needs to be booked in advance. I care for pets with the same patience, attention, and consistency I would want for my own pets. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure pets are safe and comfortable in their environment and keep their space clean. Before caring for a pet, I like to learn about their personality, routines, preferences, and any special instructions from their owner. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel comfortable while their family is away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: Every dog is different with energy and awareness when I take my friend’s dog for a walk, she would need time to sniff around and enjoy the sunshine Right now, I am currently studying in Seattle for helping the family business so I am available from 10 AM to 4pm Monday through Friday I usually would go over to my friends house, play with their dog and feed them and give water and keep an eye on them if they need to go to the restroom or not

About: What Sets Me Apart I provide more than just pet sitting—I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I also trained my own dog, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and clear communication. I treat every pet in my care like my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am currently in school. And would love to take care of your pets in the afternoons. I can check in on them and give them afternoon walks, treats and pee breaks, whatever you and your pet may need! How I Care for Pets in Your Home I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, potty breaks, and any special needs. I give pets plenty of attention and affection while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I also keep their space clean and tidy and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Tori is an excellent petsitter! She takes such good care of my boys. I appreciate her updates - always keeping me in the loop - and she takes great photos of the kittens.”

About: I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I’m that person who stops to say hi to every dog I pass, no matter where I am. Whether it’s fetch in the yard, long neighborhood walks, or simply keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every furry friend like family. I’m reliable, communicative, and always focused on your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness. You can count on me for updates, snuggles, and lots of tail wags! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to drop by for walks, playtime, or whatever your pup needs! As a drop-in pet walker, your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and always follow your pet’s routine closely. Whether it's feeding, potty breaks, or playtime, I show up on time and give your pet the same care and attention I give my own. You can trust me to keep you updated with check-ins and photos so you always know your furry friend is in good hands.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always been responsible for helping care for them. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their pets while they’re away, making sure their dogs feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I also volunteered with Guide Dogs for the Blind for four years, where I raised and trained two puppies from 8 weeks old to 20 months old. Through this experience, I gained hands-on training skills and learned how to work with dogs of different personalities, energy levels, and needs. In addition, I’ve trained both my family’s Border Collie mix and my own Golden Retriever, giving me experience with a wide range of breeds, ages, and temperaments. I truly love spending time with dogs and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your pups! My schedule is semi-flexible: I can watch your dogs 1-2 times a day and walk and play with them once a day for around an hour. Morning or evening is best to take your dogs out for walks and playtime. I live in an apartment in Seattle with my sweet Golden Retriever. The apartment has a large patio and access to safe walking trails and play areas. There are trails nearby for daily dog walks!
About: I’ve lived my entire life loving and caring for dogs — over 34 years of experience. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for walks, feeding, and overnight care. I’m excited to care for energetic puppies or senior dogs who need a gentler pace. As the fur dad of a senior golden retriever and a middle school teacher, I’m patient, consistent, loving. Your dog will be treated with the same care and kindness I give my own. I’m a full-time middle school teacher who lights up around dogs! My workday runs 7am–4pm, which means I’m happily available for weekday afternoon and evening walks and drop-ins. Overnight boarding is welcome any day of the week — as long as your dog is comfortable relaxing on their own while I’m at school. They would have the option of a fully-fenced backyard oasis with covered patio or could commandeer our couches and beds inside! My new house is pawsitively perfect for pups — fully fenced backyard with soft artificial turf, lots of greenery, and plenty of shade for lounging or zoomies. Think of it as your dog’s personal backyard resort. Inside, dogs are welcome on all furniture. My mantra is that "dogs are people too." My senior golden retriever lives here too. She’s super docile, spending most of the day napping, smiling, or begging for treats.
“Kaeleigh was super communicative and took tons of pictures of my boy! I felt like he was in really good hands and I really appreciated knowing everything that was going on with him and my home while I was away. Thank you!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Forest Park
We thought we knew what a great Rover experience felt like, then Elaina started caring for our senior girl. She has completely rewritten our expectation regarding what it looks like to be a kind, caring, and compassionate advocate for other people’s pets. She’s one of a kind and we trust her implicitly with the care of our medically complex senior dog!

Michelle was a pinch hitter while my other sitter wasn’t available. She did a meet and greet with the crew and they loved her. She was proactive about following up with me and ensuring she had all the details for a successful visit. She put up with all the antics of my crew very well. She was on time for all of her visits and was great at providing updates with each visit. Everyone seemed happy and healthy, so overall a great visit. I plan on using her again.

Chelsea has been great with Hagrid! She’s reliable, always on time, and keeps me updated with photos during her visits. She’s been helping me a lot while I’m at work, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing Hagrid is well taken care of. I’m very grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her!

She was absolutely wonderful with Hagrid! He’s only 8 weeks old, and she was so sweet, patient, and attentive with him. She sent me lots of photos and videos throughout the visit, which made me feel so comfortable while I was at work. She played with him, fed him, took him out for potty breaks, and even noticed when he was about to have an accident and quickly took him to his potty area. 🥰 Hagrid seemed so happy and comfortable with her. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!

Annie is so incredibly sweet and great with dogs!! My two dogs really loved her and she made me feel at ease with pictures/updates! Very communicative, understanding, kind, and all around a good human being. Will definitely keep her in mind for future bookings.

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.

Jessica came for a drop-in visit for our dog, Mazzy. She played frisbee with her, let her have a dip in her pool and wiped her down before coming back in the house. It was great knowing that we could count on Jessica to give our dog a break and some attention while we were gone for the day. We will definitely hire her again. Thanks Jessica!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lake Forest Park stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Lake Forest Park 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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 Lake Forest Park with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
