“We have never left our very nervous 3-legged female cat and haven’t left our two male in over two year. We were very concerned about how they would be without us since one of our male cats can be aggressive and requires medication. Naomi was very easy to work with, extremely professional, and responsive. She kept us well informed and provided very cute photos on all of her visit. The cats took to her very well, which was unbelievable because they are usually very afraid of strangers. I guess they could just tell she’s a good person. We have already rebooked Naomi for another upcoming visit.”
“Elizabeth took great care of my cat Bella! She was prompt to answer messages and communicated well during her visits. She included info about what her and Bella did during visits, how much Bella drank/ate/used her litter box, and kept Bella’s litter tidy. She followed all instructions perfectly and gave my sweet old cat lots of love. I would definitely book with her again.”
About: More than just a walk — it’s an adventure! I walk 6–14 miles a day and treat every dog like my own. With a lifetime of experience caring for animals, your pup will get plenty of exercise, love, and attention. Caring for my two dogs is a daily priority—they keep me active and joyful! I’m currently looking for new opportunities to give your pup the same love and attention. I tailor each walk to your dog’s neighborhood and routine to keep them comfortable—or we can go on an adventure if they’re up for it! I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and preferences to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and people in my community. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different sizes and personalities, and I make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I have experience with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs so they stay safe and happy. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part-time flexibly and doing hybrid college, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for house sitting whenever as long as I’m able to leave the house for classes and short shifts! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so their pet feels comfortable and secure. I handle feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, litter box cleaning, and any other care instructions the owner provides. I respect the client’s home and keep everything clean and organized while I’m there. I also give pets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise so they stay happy while their owner is away. Communication is very important to me, so I always send updates and photos so pet parents know their pet is safe and doing well.
“Jeremy was able to do a last minute booking for a drop in visit with Lily. She loves when he comes to see her and I can see that by all the smiles in the photos he sends.”
“Jordan was very attentive and showed real compassion for our pets. They really shined with the challenge that our four legged ones can present. Would recommend them to anyone.”
About: I grew up in a house with dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs and hamsters, so caring for pets is second nature to me. I've been a dog mom most of my adult life, raising an English Springer Spaniel, Sasha, from a pup, and a rescue, Delilah (in my photo), from 9 months. I've had experience in all aspects of training my dogs to have good manners, walk on a leash, etc. As a middle school teacher, I am skilled in keeping a schedule, following routines, and enjoying life while helping others! During my summer break and some school breaks, I can be available for walks and drop-ins twice per day. When I am in the swing of school, I can care for your pet(s) on weekends - go for that long hike, or get out of town for a night or two. I've got you covered! Because I do not have a fenced yard, I will only be dropping in for visits in a client's home. I look forward to exploring the neighborhood with your dog on a nice long walk!
About: Hi, I’m Nick. I have professionally worked with dogs for 7 years. My background includes; working for various dog daycares, providing dog training with companies and privately, dog walking, dog sitting and pet nutrition. I look forward to the opportunity of meeting you and your pup and providing a fun time for your furry friend. I’m currently working a full time job. I will only be available on my days off which currently are Saturday and Sunday. I am also available Fridays after 5 pm I absolutely love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I will always strive to be the best for each of their individual needs. I have a lot of energy and can keep up with young dogs. But I also have a dog who can be a bit timid at times so I will always take my time and make sure your fur baby is comfortable. Every dog is different and I will always change what I need to, to accommodate their personality and comfort zones. (Little side note) because of my experience in dog behavior management if it is something that would interest you, I would love introduce my dog to your pup and let them get some of they’re crazy energies out. Feel free to let me know if this is something of interest. I will only introduce them if pre-approved by owner

“We were lucky to find a caretaker like Terry for our senior while we were away. She clearly has a love for animals and our cats got along with her. She gave oral med to one of our cats daily. Her daily pictures were great to see as we knew they were being well taken care of. She even offered to help out if we got delayed coming home or if we needed any additional visits which gave us an added peace of mind while we were away. Terry is easy to get along with and is very reliable.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Stevens
Jeffrey took great care of our special needs senior lab. He made sure to use his harness, followed his feeding and pill administration instructions, and took amazing photos of our pup! He is super easy to communicate with and very flexible and friendly. We are so happy to have met him and will definitely be utilizing his exceptional services in the future! thank you so much, Jeffrey!
Tiana was amazing with our three fur babies. We have a senior dog with anxiety and over protective; Tiana was able to get her in the back yard and play. We also have an one-year with lots of energy. Also, the cat tends to hide and no one can finder her, but she came out to make her presence known. My animals seemed to have a great experience.
We needed a short notice drop in for our dog Zima and Grace was super helpful! She was very quick with responses and very communicative. She sent us many pictures of Zima during the drop in, which we loved! And we could tell from the pictures that Zima was super happy and comfortable with Grace.
Kim is absolutely incredible and I highly recommend her as a sitter! Kim and her family use to board our German Shepherd, Boomer when we went out of town and Boomer loved spending time at her home! Boomer actually adopted them as a second family. Kim now does drop in visits for our Toy Aussie, Bella and always does an excellent job! I also personally refer her to my own Rover clients when I am unavailable to take a job:) Kim also Rovers for my other family members! A+++ Service:)

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 Stevens 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 Stevens 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 Stevens 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.
