About: I've taken care of of family pets since at least 8 years old, I've trained puppies. Ive always loved animals and I've had Dogs, Cats, and Reptiles. I've never missed a feeding time for any of our pets. I make sure to feed our dogs in the morning and the night, or whatever schedule has been asked. But I have plenty of free time for playing with my animals. Well I love to walk so dogs always get enough exercise, and I make sure to groom my dogs monthly, and I make sure to feed all of my pets well enough.
About: I have had dogs my whole life, ranging from miniature dachshund to German shepherd. I was involved with 4H when I was a child. I am comfortable walking dogs and administering medications. I currently work full time in healthcare but desire to provide pet care services in my free time. I am an animal lover and enjoy spending time with all types of animals. I will care for your pets in your home to keep them as comfortable as possible. I will follow their routine to keep them as happy and stress free as possible.
“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 have grown up with and cared for dogs most of my life. I have a deep appreciation for the precious relationships we have with our furry friends. I'm your gal if your dog needs a walk while you're at work, a check in and some dinner, or some company while you're on vacation. I have a relatively flexible schedule most of the week, accepting early mornings before 8 am and Wednesdays until after 4pm. I am not able to board animals but I can house sit or swing by and check in routinely depending on need and preference. Depending on the needs of the client, I am able to walk, feed, play with, and even bathe animals provided they have the necessary equipment for use. Building a safe and respectful relationship with your animal is my topic priority.
About: Hi, I’m Joy! I’ve been around animals my whole life. My mom is a veterinarian, so I grew up learning how to care for pets with attention and compassion. I truly love both dogs and cats and treat every animal like my own. I have a background in healthcare, so I’m very comfortable with pets who need a little extra support. I have experience caring for senior animals, administering medications, and even giving injections when needed. You can feel confident your pet is in safe, capable hands. I enjoy being active and love getting outside for walks, making sure your dog gets both exercise and attention. I’m also very clean, organized, and respectful of your home. I’ll always leave things tidy and cared for. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide references. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel completely at ease. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family Animal lover with lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats. I grew up with veterinary care in my home (my mom is a vet) and have a strong background in healthcare, which makes me comfortable with senior pets, medications, and special care needs, including injections if needed. I’m active and enjoy daily walks, and I’m very attentive to routine and safety. I’m reliable, calm, and detail-oriented. I also keep spaces clean and organized and treat every home and pet with respect. References available upon request. Can not care for pets in my household, we already have 3 dogs and 1 cat. I am comfortable going to where the pet lives.
“Sarah is fantastic! My cat has special needs (although you’d never know) so I’m super particular about who watches my boy. That said, I would request her to watch my kitty again, hands down! She followed directions, was super communicative, and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation without worrying about our cat the whole time. We got back and Leo was screaming his head off because he missed us, but we know Sarah spent the time to sit with him and give him love and we all couldn’t appreciate that more. (Thank you, Sarah!)”
“Nicole is great! My dog Benji loves going to her house! He is always tuckered out when we get home. She gives me lots of updates on how he’s doing throughout the day and always responds quickly. I feel totally comfortable leaving my pup with her!”
About: I’ve had a love for dogs for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was little, I was always the first to volunteer for dog walks, pet sitting, or any opportunity to spend time caring for animals. Over the years, I became the go-to person for family, friends, and neighbors needing someone they could trust with their pets, giving me more than 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I previously had a Golden Retriever who lived to 12 years old and a Lhasa Apso/Yorkie mix who lived to the incredible age of 18, both of whom were deeply loved members of my family. I currently have a gentle 17-year-old cat, a friendly 4-year-old English Cream Golden Retriever, and will soon be welcoming a corgi puppy into our home as well. Our home is very pet-friendly, and my two boys (18 and 7) have grown up around animals and love helping give visiting pets extra attention and affection. I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, because I know firsthand that they truly are family. I take pride in creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets feel cared for, relaxed, and at home. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply companionship, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet and care for your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am available for weekend boarding and can often accommodate weekday stays with advance notice. With a flexible schedule and a pet-friendly home, I have plenty of time to provide walks, playtime, cuddles, and individualized care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make their stay feel like a home away from home. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special needs before their stay so I can provide care that feels as familiar as possible. In my home, pets are treated like family and are never left without appropriate supervision for extended periods. I provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals according to their schedule, and plenty of affection. I understand that every pet is different, so I adjust my approach based on their personality and comfort level. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or simply relax nearby, I strive to create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
About: I've lived with animals all my life, and have looked after my family's pets occasionally. I am an all around animal lover, I'm professional and dependable, and I'm great at following directions. I have some trips planned for the coming future, so a few stretches of time will be unavailable. I will be very transparent and communicative with prospective clients about my schedule. Feel free to ask me for details! I will be respectful and conscientious when inside all clients' homes, and will do everything in my ability to keep your pet comfortable in their own routines and habits.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and pets for 30 years. I have fostered and adopted all kinds of dogs. I’m happy to help take care of our little buddies! I’m currently looking for work and specifically remote work. I am generally happy to be home with my dog and/or take her with me wherever I go. I have a fenced patio area in a semi wooded area. Dog friendly neighborhood and peaceful, quiet atmosphere. Not ever gone for more than 5 hours.
About: Throughout my life I have owned and cared for hamsters, cats, dogs, reptiles (snakes, bearded dragons, turtles, etc), and aquatic life in both freshwater and saltwater environments including sea anemones, live rock, various fish species, crustaceans, shrimp, and even sea horses! I absolutely love animals and have virtually no limits on what species of animal I would be willing to look after and care for. I currently have a three year old grey and white tabby named Beethoven who is my beloved fur child and ESA, and was previously looking after three other cats as well as an Australian Shephard for a family of four. I have my fur child Beethoven's feeding scheduled via his auto feeder, which dispenses food periodically throughout the day, five times a day. In between he receives lots of love and attention and occasional treats. I also scoop out his litterbox once and day and change the litter once a month. From morning to night, my fur child Beethoven receives lots of love, attention, and care from me and my housemates. He loves to play and socialize, and always (politely) asking for treats! He is 100% indoors at all times, as we live in an apartment complex with no yard.
About: I have always loved dogs. They are the very best of us. My last two dogs lived to 17 years old so I'm very familiar with the needs of elderly dogs and my current dog (4 years old) we got as a puppy. Anything you need I can handle with love and confidence. Happy to send updates and pictures. Our pets are family. I'm a local photographer so I get to set my own schedule. I can mold it to your pet's needs. I'm active and wake up early. I have laminate floors and a completely fenced in large back yard. I understand every animal is different and since I work from home, we do not have a pet door so even indoor pets are safe. I'm happy to follow your rules and respect boundaries. Happy to send pictures and updates!

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!
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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
