“My boys are very excitable & can be quite loud. I was worried about leaving them with someone entering our home they had only met briefly as they’re giant scaredy cats, but the patience shown to help them relax paired with lotsa cuddles, text updates, photos, and report cards brought me so much comfort! We’ll be having Arielle back ASAP 🖤”
“Rachael was great! She made regular and timely visits. We asked her to stop by in the morning and she did. Rachael also played with and snuggled with our kitty and took some great pictures of her too! We highly recommend her!”
“Jeremy was amazing. He was super nice, very communicative, and the fur babies loved him. He even picked up items that they had gotten into while alone. We'll definitely book again!”
“Dasha was communicative and good natured despite our cats having a bit of unexpected anxiety and making her life a bit difficult. We're so thankful for her patience and kindness!”
“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 had years of experience taking care of my own pets and also worked as a pet groomer for many years. I've had many animals throughout my life dogs, cats, ferrets, tortoises you name it. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule during the week and my weekends are wide open to spend time with your pets or have them over at my house. I have a fenced backyard and two dogs of my own that love to run and play with other dogs. While your pet is with me they are part of our family.
“Wonderful sitter! I received great updates and photos, and Bloom was happy and well cared for. I really appreciated the attention and communication throughout the visits. Would definitely book again!”
About: I have loads of experience caring for both my own dogs and those of my family and friends. We have a cozy, pet friendly home and a large, fenced backyard for play and potty breaks. Currently we share our home with a small dog, a sweet cat and have chickens outside. I feel confident that I can help your dog feel comfortable and safe in our home. I am a retired kindergarten teacher with time to attend and care for your pets. I can provide a reliable routine to ensure your pet is comfortable. Being home all day to provide attention and care helps your dog feel comfortable and safe. Our fenced backyard also offers a secure place for him/her to explore and play.
About: I grew up on a farm with 2 labs and have always had a special love for the canine friends. Since I’ve moved to the city I’ve missed my dogs and taking them on walks so I thought I’d sign up for this and meet some dog friends that need some company, I love all types of breeds and sizes. High energy dogs are not a problem for me at all, as I love going on runs with dogs and also playing at the park. I work a couple blocks away from where I live so it wouldn’t be a problem for me to watch your dogs while at work, since I could pop in to check on them and feed/let them use the bathroom. Thank you for looking, -Jacob I work flexible hours so I can work around any pet schedules I’m usually home till 12, and come back for lunch around 3 and then get off work usually 6-8pm but I set my own hours so it’s flexible for your dogs needs (: I have a house within walking distance to the park, I can take your dog on 2-3 walks per day and can also crate the dog if needed. I work close to home so I will always be 10-15 mins away and can pop in and check on the animals I set up to 3 times in a single workday before arriving home for the night. I have a little backyard area that is fenced off and also a park 4 blocks south of me, inside my apartment is all dog friendly and they are allowed on the furniture/beds
“Tish took great care of our kitties and although I had forgotten to book her earlier, when I realized this and reached out to her she made the process seamless! Thkyou Tish!”
“Jennifer is incredible with our cats.. Not only does she look after them, she looks after our house. The automatic door lock's batteries died and would not lock. She went to the store, bought batteries and got it working. She is simply amazing!!”
“Holly was excellent taking care of both our dogs 2x daily while we were away. She was punctual, friendly and always communicated well. Our pups were very happy with her! We will definitely use her in the future.”
“Emily was very prompt, right on time. The animals loved her and she was even able to get Norman out on a walk. He’s a rescue and very shy. She did a wonderful job and I would highly recommend.”
“Victoria takes such wonderful care of our animals. She’s very sweet and personable, takes fun pictures of our pets, gives great updates, and our pets love her. We have used her multiple times before for drop in visits and house sitting and already have even more scheduled with her. 12/10, would recommend her services.”
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
