“This was our first time using a pet sitter for our rambunctious 4 month Golden R puppy. We really liked our experience with Holly. She was very communicative, punctual and took great care of our pup. Would highly recommend and we will be using her services again.”
“Lexi did a great job staying in our home and caring for our dog and two cats. She communicated well throughout the stay and sent regular photos and updates. Our dog seemed to really enjoy her company. We’d be happy to have Lexi sit for us again.”
“Jann was awesome! She took great care of my fur babies. I am a very nervous pet mom and she made me and the pups feel comfortable. The animals and my home were well cared for. I will absolutely request her services again.”
“Tonya was completely reliable in fulfilling what we had agreed upon for taking care of Sadie and Sammy and spending four days and nights with them. She has excellent experience and is sensitive and understanding about older pets, and people! She kept in touch with us daily and sent photos. I would not hesitate to ask Tony to return next time we need to go away.”
“Toni is always great with my doggies. I always appreciate the pics she sends, the love she gives them, the walks, and her commitment and communication. She is trustworthy , timely and follows my list of requirements/requests with my fur babies.”
“Alison B was absolutely awesome. She took such great care of my 2 dogs and house and plants! We were able to enjoy our vacation worry free. We had family visiting and left in a bit of a rush for our trip. We came home to a house cleaner than how we left it! Our dogs were greatly loved and she sent many updates and pictures. We highly recommend Alison B for house and dog sitting, you will be very pleased!”
“Anna house housesat for my family and couldn’t have provided better care. I’ve worked in Animal Welfare for over 20yrs and have a high standard for care of my senior pets. Anna was extremely attentive providing amazing care, left the house clean and sent daily updates. She trustworthy, kind hearted and the utmost professional.”
“Nellie is the absolute best! She always kept us updated on our pup (Mango) status and made her feel so special and even got her to go on walks beyond her comfort zone! And even though we were only gone 1 week, when we got home Mango was now missing Nellie! Nellie was like having one of our family watch our dog and we will definitely use her again whenever Mango needs a sitter.”
About: Working from home full time allows me to be able to be there for your fur baby when you can’t due to vacation or work; but they won’t know the difference because Simba and Sno will keep your pet company/busy. I’m a home body so pet care fits in my schedule pretty regularly considering I have 2 Frenchies running around. Lol. I work from home full-time so I’m here more often then not. I have a fenced backyard that the dogs have room to run back and forth in; tons of toys and endless amount of care and love to provide.
“Natalie did a fabulous job caring for our two big dogs while we were out of town. Her communication is awesome, she asks great questions, keeps us informed and updated on our boys, and left the house clean. We felt comfortable knowing she was there and will put her at the top of the list for rebooking the next time we travel. Our pups were happy and content. Thank you Natalie!”
“I recently left my pup with Tera while I were away, and it was hands-down the best decision I could have made. From our first meet-and-greet, Tera was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs—she asked thoughtful questions about routines, favorite toys, and any quirks right away. She sent daily photo and video updates (which included some hilarious playtime moments and cozy nap shots), so Inever had to wonder if our dog was happy and safe. Our pup came home relaxed, well-exercised, and clearly adored Tera’s! Tera followed every instruction to the letter, kept the house spotless, and even went the extra mile with cleaning up the house. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely loving toward animals, Tera is the one. Thank you, Tera!!! 💖💖🐩🐩”
About: Hey! I’m Emma 😊 I’m a student and lifelong animal lover with 10 years of hands-on pet care experience. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, lizards and fish, and I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, energy levels and busy multi-pet households. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and keeping their normal routine while their people are away. I’m dependable, attentive, easy to communicate with, and always happy to send updates and pictures. Most of all, I want your pets to feel happy, safe and loved while you’re gone. 🐾 Being a student gives me a pretty flexible schedule! Monday–Friday I’m in class from 1:30–5:30, so I’m available mornings and again after class. I work Saturday evenings, and Sundays are usually wide open. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine whenever I can. 😊 I know every pet (and home!) has its own routine, so I’m big on following your instructions and keeping things comfortable and familiar while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to the little details, and will always make sure your pets are safe, happy and getting the care and attention they’re used to. 🐾
“Autumn was so loving with our little guy. He has some anxiety, but she let him try out several new fun adventures and he had a great time. Autumn sent us photos and updates during her stay at our place. She was great at communicating and we would definitely have her watch our Finny again!”
“Serenity was truly exceptional with our senior girl, and we are so grateful for the level of care she provided. From the moment we left, she made sure we felt at ease. We never leave our dogs, and this was so hard to do but she sent regular updates with photos and videos so we could see how comfortable and happy our girl was. These updates meant a lot to us considering our girl is older and needs a little extra attention. Beyond caring for our dog, Serenity grabbed our mail and kept our home incredibly clean. Walking back into a spotless house after traveling was a gift and it speaks volumes about her respect for our space and her professionalism. It was very clear Serenity loves pet sitting! She was patient, gentle, attentive, and treated our little girl like family. We felt completely comfortable leaving our girl in her hands and we'd book again without hesitation. Anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and truly outstanding sitter would be lucky to have her. Thank you, Serenity! We truly appreciate you!”
“I could tell from the meet and greet Huxley would be very well taken care of. Coming home he was happy and relaxed. Lindsay did a great job watching & taking care of Huxley, who can be alittle bit stressed and anxious. She was more than willing to go above and beyond to watch him.”
About: Your dog’s new favorite human! 🐾 Hi, I’m Audrianna! I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life and as the oldest of five, I know a thing or two about responsibility and patience. When I’m not flying as a full-time flight attendant, I love spending my time making pups happy. Whether it’s snuggles with a brand-new puppy, energetic walks, or quick pop-ins for play and potty breaks, I’m here to make your life easier and your dog’s tail wag. I treat every fur baby like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Let’s make your pup’s day amazing! 🐶✨ As a reserve flight attendant, my schedule can be unpredictable, but that actually gives me more flexibility than a traditional 9–5. On my days off or during long sits between trips, I dedicate time to caring for pets. I keep my availability calendar updated so owners know when I’m free, and when I commit to a booking, I make sure it fits around my flights so your pet always gets the attention they deserve. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, so I plan my week with their needs as a top priority. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all the instructions you provide—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, walks, playtime, or cuddle time. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean and safe space, and plenty of attention so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also love sending photo updates so you can see how happy and cared for your pet is!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Stevens
Alison and Cassidy were beyond amazing and the best sitters I’ve used from Rover yet. You can tell Alison truly cares so much about what she does and I never felt anxiety during my trip away from my babies. She not only took great care of my fur babies, but I came back to my garden so alive and beautiful. Our home was cleaner than we had left it and we are just so impressed with everything Alison did for us while we were away. We hope we can book her again for all our future trips!
Our second time with Alona and it won’t be our last. She is the best. Takes care of our home and our boys and we are able to have that weight off our shoulders while enjoying family vacations. She celebrated one of our boys birthdays and sent us updates around the clock. We came home to a tidy house and happy tired pups. Can’t ask for anything better!!
Kristen did a great job taking care of our dog for 5 days. We got regular updates and check-ins which gave us peace of mind. She left our house cleaner than when she arrived which I also appreciated. I cannot say enough good things about Kristen and her care for our dog and house.
Crystal took amazing care of my newly adopted dog, Ziggy, and my two cats while I was away. She did such a great job with them, and it was obvious they all loved her. I also really appreciated that when I got delayed getting back into town because of traffic, she came back out again to make sure Ziggy got dinner and could get out since I was going to be home pretty late. That meant a lot and was truly above and beyond. She’s awesome, super dependable, and I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
We are first time cat owners. Our guy is just 10 months old, and this trip to help deal with some elderly parent issues in Florida was the first time we’ve traveled since getting our cat. We were very nervous. Luckily, we found Camille and she was available. We could not be happier. Excellent communication, lots of pics and videos of our guy, and she went above and beyond for us many times throughout the week. By the end of the first day, we knew Ulrich was in excellent hands and we’d made the right choice. I want to tell you that Camille is awesome, we are thrilled with her performance as a sitter, and that we think our cat now officially has an aunt, but I also kind of want to keep quiet about it, because I don’t want her to be booked solid the next time we need her. :P And there will be a next time. She’s fantastic. Hire her.
I think we were Grace's first customer on Rover and she did a great job housesitting and taking care of our boys. She sent updates and photos each day and was very good about communicating with us if she had to leave the house. We will be using her again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Stevens
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Stevens on Rover is $53.31 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,934 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Stevens. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lake Stevens walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lake Stevens maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
