“Jenna did a great job with our 2 pups for the week. She communicates well and understood what we needed for our dogs. Very punctual and she made sure they got the love they needed. Would book again. Thank you!”
“Naomi is amazing! She kept in contact with me throughout my vacation via little report cards on my cats and pictures of them. I have the worlds most timid cat and even she came out to say hi to Naomi each day that Naomi visited. She truly cares for other peoples pets 💜”
“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’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.
“Amanda was communicative, followed instructions asked for the boys, and left everything as it was when she got there (all the doggy supplies/treats/food), so I (as a very particular person) appreciated that. Thank you! 😊”
About: I’ve worked in the animal care industry for 10 years now and I’ve grown up with dogs ! They are absolutely a passion of mine! I am also the owner and operator of Oh Shih Tzu mobile grooming! I currently work part time as I am a mom to a 4 year old daughter , so I am home a lot with my own pups! I love taking them to parks and trails and playdates with other dog friends ! I always treat any animal like they are my own! I love getting to know pups and their personalities as every pup is special in their own way !
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my two cats received! Elizabeth went above and beyond to ensure they were well-fed, happy, and entertained while I was away. She made sure to play with them daily and kept me updated with adorable pictures and messages, which really put my mind at ease. It's clear she loves animals and treats them like her own. I’ll definitely be booking again the next time I’m away! Highly recommend!”
About: I've house sat and walked multiple sized dogs. I've also been around quite a few dogs in my lifetime. My parents had a puppy and I ended up having to take care of her for a while and I went to obedience training with her so I have some training skills. I currently am working part-time so I'll be more open to drop-ins and walks. I work retail though so my schedule isn't set but I am willing to try and work with you. I will give them lots of love and attention, activity, and I will make sure your pets are treated like my own; loved, safe, and fed.
About: With 8 years of hands-on experience at an animal shelter, I’ve cared for animals that most sitters never encounter — newborn kittens and puppies, senior pets, and sick or injured animals who needed extra patience and attention. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, handle the unexpected, and give every pet exactly what they need to feel safe and comfortable. Combined with years of private pet sitting, I bring both professional shelter training and a genuine love for every animal that walks through my door. Whether your pet is young, old, healthy, or needs a little extra TLC — they’re in experienced, caring hands with me. My home is pet-free and has a fully fenced backyard, there’s plenty of safe outdoor space to play, explore, and burn off energy. I work a hybrid job with flexibility in my scheduling. Home most weekends as well as Mondays and Fridays with flexibility within the week. With advanced notice can typically adjust my schedule. We have a fenced yard and no pets of our own. Part time there are children in the home who are familiar with animals. Availability to visit your home during the day as well.

About: I bring over 10 years of hands on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have a proven track record of providing attentive, loving, and reliable care. My approach is rooted in genuine affection for animals and a commitment to their well being. I am highly organized and detail oriented, ensuring feeding schedules, medication routines, and exercise needs are consistently met. I pride myself on being observant and responsive to each pet’s unique personality, providing not only safety but also comfort and companionship. From playful pups to shy cats, I create a nurturing environment that allows pets to feel at ease while their owners are away. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle sessions, or maintaining specialized diets, I go above and beyond to provide the kind of care I would want for my own pets. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in loving, capable hands. As a nanny and household manager, my schedule is naturally structured and flexible, which allows me to seamlessly incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety, trust, and respect for their environment. I ensure that doors and gates are secure, food and water are fresh, and routines are followed closely. I handle pets gently and attentively, building trust through consistency and affection. I also keep the home tidy, clean up after the pets, and follow any special instructions, creating a safe, comfortable, and reliable experience for both the pets and their owners.

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 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
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!

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:)

- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;

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!

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 Meet & Greet .
