“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: I’ve been trusted to take care of many of my families dogs. Feeding their dogs, taking them out for walks, keeping them entertained, and picking up after themselves. I’m a High School student about to graduate so after graduation I am not busy at all, walking dogs would be an excellent way to stay active during nice days. I walk/play with my dog everyday keeping him active and healthy, feed him when need be and clean up after him. When going over to families house I take the dog out for walks, play with them and clean up any messes they made.
“Joslynn showed up a couple of minutes early to walk and check in on Cali, my German shepherd puppy. Cali seemed happy and tired when I arrived home from work. Thank you to Joslynn for not being afraid of the puppy chewing and jumping stage.”
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.
“Valerie did an awesome job for us. It was such peace of mind knowing she would come do check ins for Lucy and our chickens. She was prompt and thorough. She took the time to send photos and notes about her visits. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had animals for over 25 years and have a lot of experience caring for my friends and family’s animals! I would love to love on your animals while you are away! I do work full-time from home, so I have the flexibility to walk dogs or drop-in on your animals at anytime of the day that is needed! I am always very careful when entering peoples homes to not allow any escape attempts and will be very careful to follow any and all instructions provided!
“Mackenzi treated my cats like they were her own, and the pictures made it obvious they were all having a good time. I’m glad that I chose her to take care of my two kitties while I was out!”
About: For the past 5 years, I have provided dependable and compassionate care for pets of all kinds, treating each one like family. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply giving extra attention and affection, I am dedicated to making sure every pet receives personalized care and companionship. I am a stay-at-home mom to three children, and my days are spent caring for and supporting my family. I start my mornings by getting my oldest child ready to school and handling drop off and pick up. During the day, I keep up with household tasks and spend quality time with my two younger children. As of right now, we have no pets of our own to care for, but hope to add to our family soon. My home provides a safe, welcoming environment for pets, located in a small, friendly military neighborhood known for its quiet and respectful community. We have a fully fenced-in backyard, giving pets a secure space to play, explore, and enjoy fresh air safely. Inside the home, the atmosphere is calm and family-oriented, and pets are treated as part of the family. With plenty of supervision, comfort, and care, I ensure every pet feels secure, relaxed, and right at home during their stay.
“Amanda is absolutely wonderful! We had to leave last minute for a family trip and she was so accommodating and communicative and really put our mind at ease (and we are so so grateful she was willing to work with us so last second). She is so professional and courteous, and genuinely so great with animals. She took great care of our kitties, and was very thorough. We feel so fortunate to work with her, she goes above and beyond and is just so kind- we highly highly recommend her 🙂”
“This is our 2nd time using Millie as our cat sitter. She is the only person I trust with my 3 boys. She’ communicates well, she cares about the pets, and follows directions perfectly! Any pet would be lucky to have her as their sitter! Can’t recommend her enough.”
“Krysten was great. My family and I have a brat of a dog he likes what he likes and that is it. the second Krysten was at the door he was in love. I will definitely ask Krysten to watch our boy again.”
“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.”
About: I have been in the bulldog industry for 12+ years and loving every minute of it. Brachycephalic dogs need someone to care for them that knows the intricate quirks they can have, and there is no one better for the job than me. I work from home, going out throughout the day. We typically hit the dog park a few times a week and also have many puzzle-style feeders to keep our pup entertained. We recently fenced about half an acre of our yard and also have a 10x30-foot dog run with climbing toys and unlimited entertainment. I believe exercise is the best form of stimulation and plan to keep your pup busy while you're away.
“Jordan took incredible care of our two cats while we were out of town! Jordan went above and beyond for us and sent us sweet pictures every drop-in! We definitely will use Jordan again in the future!”
About: I have walked and trained dogs since I was 12 years old. I have walked them often in my neighborhood (even for free sometimes!) Maybe I didn’t know the economic consequences but I love being in the presence of animals I am a freelancer that works online.I want to care for your pet while I work on some work simultaneously! I can take many breaks to get the puppy (and human) zoomies out. I live in an apartment complex with a pet relief area. Additionally, I live within a walking distance from a field. I have a dog of my own (she lives with my parents) and I bring her down to Seattle when I can. Most importantly, I am flexible with cancellations and cost since this is something I do as more of a hobby more than a job. I value your pet’s safety, therefore I am sure to ask for their dietary needs, walk schedule, if they have medications I ask for dosage and time to take, and most importantly, I keep my phone on me at all times to communicate to you! Thank you for considering me! I look forward to meeting your fur baby🐶💕

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.

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.
