“Lori was on time and took great care of my pets. Daisy needs some meds 2 times a day and Lori made sure she got them. My two cats were loving on her when she came over for the meet and greet. She even scooped the litter box! That was very unexpected. We communicated on my personal phone number and she sent pics of my happy furry kids. I will be booking with her again when I have to travel.”
About: I have loved dogs ever since growing up with two of them, and I helped care for them, especially as they got older. I currently help out with my roommate’s two dogs, and I have experience dog-sitting two greyhounds and walking dogs for a job. I also have two cats of my own and have cat-sit for neighbors and friends before. I’m currently a paraeducator in the Port Angeles school district, and I end my day at 2, so I am available for walks/check-ins after that on weekdays, and most weekends. I am not able to house animals in my own home since there are already animals there who do not have experience around new animals. However, I am happy to stay overnight as I am available to care for your house and pet, and I can also stop by to feed, play with, and/or walk your pet.
“Alex took great care of our kitties! She was very thorough and accommodating. She was able to give my cat his medication without any issues. We will def be reaching out to Alex in the future! ❤️”
“Teagan came by for a drop-in for our elderly dog. When he met our dog at the meet and greet, she let him pick her up even though she is normally very particular about who can pick her up. He must have a natural way with dogs! The drop-in went well (on time, communicative, sent a pic), so we definitely want him to keep coming by for these drop-in visits!”
About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life and started pet sitting for friends and neighbors as a teen. Ever since, I've loved spending time with animals and making them feel loved and cared for! I am a lawyer but I currently have a flexible schedule, so I'm available most times of the day and week. I can easily adjust to your needs. I am a cautious and respectful visitor. When picking up or dropping in to visit, I will treat your home with care and respect and will diligently follow any instructions you provide.
“Tori is a wonderful catsitter! She's taken great care of my two furbabies, which means the world to me. She also provides helpful updates and photos. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda sent me great updates and took great care of my pet, and also went above and beyond in taking care of things before I got back like taking the trash out. Thank you Amanda!”
About: I have spent my entire life around dogs and understand that every pet has a unique personality. My approach is rooted in patience and adaptability; I am just as happy going on a long walk as I am providing a quiet space for a dog who prefers to cuddle. I believe in following a pet’s lead to ensure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. While I have a lifelong history with pets, my most rewarding experience was with my dog Maurice, whom I cared for from his middle age through his senior years. We were his third home after he was rescued, and he had many wonderful quirks that we learned to work through together. Navigating life with him taught me how to be attentive to a dog's subtle cues and how to provide a stable, loving environment for pets of all backgrounds. Unfortunately, we lost Maurice in June of 2025. While I miss him very much, I am not ready to have a pet of my own again just yet, but I have plenty of time and affection to dedicate to your dog. Whether they have a specific routine or just need a reliable friend, I am committed to treating your pet with the same care and devotion I gave my own. I work from home full time, which means my schedule is very flexible and I am typically around all day to provide companionship and regular potty breaks. Your pet will rarely be alone, as I am only out for the occasional quick errand or appointment. I believe in clear communication, so I will always touch base in advance if I need to step out for a short time to ensure you are completely comfortable with the plan. My goal is to integrate your dog’s existing routine into my day so they feel right at home. My priority is creating a secure and stress-free space. My home offers a very quiet, calm environment with no children or other pets, making it an ideal "home away from home" for dogs who prefer a more relaxed setting. We have a fully fenced backyard for safe supervised play, and our neighborhood has wonderful, quiet streets that are perfect for daily walks. I am naturally attentive to a dog's needs and comfort levels, ensuring they feel settled and consistent in their routine.
“Stephanie is an incredible cat sitter. She took such good care of our cats that I’m not fully sure if they even wanted us back! She took care of everything regarding our cats, as well as bringing in the Mail, plant watering, cleaning up pet accidents, and supplying cat treats and toys. You can tell just by talking to her how much she loves pets. We highly recommend Stephanie!”
“Addona is amazing, as always. She makes going out a pleasure, we don't have to worry about a thing. She has to medicate both of our boys and she does a great job. Thank you Adonna, we very much appreciate you!”
“So grateful for Marie! She took care of our little cat last minute and had no qualms about it. She is trustworthy and reliable; a great sense of relief when we were across the country. Thank you again!”
About: I think I have more furry friends than human friends! 😊 I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. My first cat was actually born in my closet, and that's where my love for animals really began. Today, I have cats of my own and absolutely adore dogs. Whether it's long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping your pet company, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I'm generally available Monday through Thursday, but I'm happy to accommodate weekend requests whenever possible. I know every pet and family has different needs, so I'll always do my best to be flexible. Your pet's safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I'll follow your care instructions, stick to their normal routine as instructed, and make sure they get plenty of care, playtime, walks, and attention while I'm with them. I'll also send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and in good hands. 🐾
About: Mom at heart here - to humans and fur babies. I offer the kind of love that all living creatures deserve, especially ones that don't communicate with words. Being a mom to a special needs child has given me the patience and Spidey senses to anticipate needs, and pick up on cues from our non-verbal friends. I promise to provide a fun and safe environment for your dog or cat friend - whether that be in my home or any place when in my care. I don't have any pets of my own. But I have big house that I enjoy filling with the sounds and bountiful energy of someone else's lovely pets. I've had cats most of my adult life, and grew up always having a dog. My last dog was an energetic and clumsy Dalmatian named Kramer (yep, like in Seinfeld). He always knew how to make an entrance :) I work full-time from home (M-F). So flexibility is the name of the game. I have online work meetings and calls, here and there. But your pet will have a full view of me when I care for them in my home. My desk is set up in an large, open concept space, with lots of hardwood floors and a cushy couch for them to watch me work. I even keep toys near my desk for that impromptu 'catch' or 'fetch' session. And in between meetings, I will give them play time, potty breaks and walks. My back yard is large, but not fenced. If your dog prefers to run carefree and has difficulty with recall, I promise to keep them on a leash when exploring the surrounding flora and fauna of my yard. For neighborhood walks, we offer lotsa bushes to smell and grass to chew on. And for additional exercise, there are nearby dog parks to make new friends and burn off some energy. I work from home and my schedule is flexible to take breaks from my keyboard for play time, potty breaks and mostly to keep your pup company. While my backyard is not fenced, I maintain my doors locked at all times and will always ensure your dog is on a leash before we leave the house.
About: Your pet is part of your family and I will treat them like they're part of my family. I understand rules are different in each house and I'll ensure I respect and follow your rules to ensure your pet returns just as happy and healthy as I received them. I am currently working from as a therapist so I have the flexibility and ability to ensure your pet is well cared for. They will be able to go out when needed and get regular walks! I can come to your home or they are welcome in mine. We have a large fully fenced backyard and a wonderful neighborhood with many walking paths to ensure they get their stimulation. For the cats, we have cat towers and toys ready to go for the playful kitties.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Forest Park
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!
Elaina did an amazing job taking care of my senior blind dog while our family was out of town and I highly recommend her. She did drop in visits, and made sure my dog got food, walks, and pets. It was so nice to get the photos and updates and know our dog was being well taken care of while we were gone. Thanks Elaina!
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.

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.
