“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.”
“Ana is the best! I feel 100% confident when we leave our dog Abbey with her. She is super conscientious and really understands dog behavior. Ana stayed with our dog at our house. She took excellent care of our dog and house and even watered our plants. She communicated very well before our booking and sent us updates and photos while she was sitting for our dog.”

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 only be available on my days off which currently are Saturday and Sunday. I am also available Fridays after 5 pm I absolutely love dogs of all shapes and sizes. 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
“Jalen was wonderful, she spent some time with us prior to leaving. Paid great attention to our dog and sent pictures. The house was spotless, she was great. I look forward to using her again.”
About: I've been around animals most of my life, with my own dog and cat and often visiting my grandparents farm and seeing the animals there. Ive pet sat for a variety of dogs and cats before even a horse and understand the multitude of personalities that come with them. I find joy in getting to know your pet and take the time understanding their body language and hearing what they have to say! I am a flexable chill animal lover who enjoys spending time with a furry friend :) I have a very flexable schedule which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pet! Checking in for a walk or potty break is easy and can happen often! I always love going over your comfortably level and what you expect of me on the job! I appreciate finding out the lay of the land with your home and yard when house sitting/check ins and often take notes so ill remember!
“If I could leave more than five stars I would. Brandy took such good care of our foster dog Ace. Ace is reactive to other dogs but Brandy has experience with this kind of behavior, I was completely comfortable leaving him with her for neighborhood dog walks. She sent daily updates, and so many photos I felt like I was gone for two days, not a whole week! Brandy also treated our home with the utmost respect, and cleaned and remade the bed with fresh sheets before we got home late at night. I almost cried with relief! She took Ace on so many adventures, I realized I need to step up my game! I felt as if I've known Brandy forever and I was leaving my dog with a trusted friend. We will 100% call on Brandy again to watch Ace, and any future dogs we have!”
“We really appreciated the care that Kayln took looking after our cat and home. She was always super responsive during the booking process and provided us regular updates during the stay. It was really great to see that our little guy was comfortable around her and the house was well looked after.”
About: I tailor every routine to each dog’s unique needs:) I listed eight years of dog experience because that’s how old my black Lab is! I grew up in a dog loving home and wouldn’t want it any other way. I love all types of dogs and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. I have plenty of love, patience, and positive reinforcement to share 🥰 big on communication and sending millions of photos of your dog Pet care fits into my schedule on Saturday and Sunday. Any hour on the weekends is perfect. I am busy during the weekdays. Thank you :) When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to follow all feeding instructions carefully, providing the right food and fresh water at the right times. I keep their living spaces clean, including changing bedding and cleaning litter boxes or waste areas. I give pets plenty of exercise and playtime to keep them happy and healthy, while also watching closely for any signs of illness or unusual behavior. Safety is a priority, so I make sure the environment is free from hazards and escape routes. I spend quality time giving pets attention and comfort to reduce stress, and I always follow the specific care instructions given by the owner to ensure the pet’s well-being.
“Sophia did a great job caring for our two dogs while we were away! They seemed very relaxed around her so I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. One of our dogs is older and has medication and special dietary needs that Sophia was able to manage. Her communication before and during our trip was excellent. She left our home in great shape too. I would absolutely rebook and recommend Sophia as a sitter!”
About: Animals are my entire life. I am a big softie, and I've taken care of them since I was a child! I've taken care of pets in my neighborhood, worked in shelters, and I'm ready to care for your fur children. I've worked with pets of all kinds of temperament! :) I only work part time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet's needs! My schedule is very flexible and ready to adapt to fit your needs. I have a fenced yard with no animals for home care. I have my own car as well with strong AC, ready to assist you wherever you are!
“Amy was nothing short of amazing! She took such great care of our home and our pups! We came back to happy tails and a spotless house. She even left us a sweet note, which was such a thoughtful touch. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands while we were away. Highly recommend Amy, we’ll definitely be booking her again! Thank you, Amy!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Stevens
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of our dogs and our home while we were away. From the very beginning, her communication was wonderful. She checked in with us every day and sent pictures and videos of the dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind. Being able to see that they were happy, comfortable, and being well cared for allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about what was happening at home. She didn’t just make sure their basic needs were met—she genuinely cared for them and treated them like they were her own. That meant so much to us, especially since leaving your pets behind can be one of the hardest parts of going on vacation. She also took wonderful care of our house and treated it as if it were her own. We came home to happy dogs and a well-cared-for home, which was the perfect ending to our trip. She is dependable, communicative, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. Knowing our dogs and our home were in such good hands was priceless. We would absolutely trust her to care for them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can feel completely comfortable leaving their pets and home with!
Kristen did a phenomenal job taking care of my Caoimhe while I was away. I had planned my trip before I got my pup, and she worked with my crazy flight times. My family and I enjoyed all the pictures while I was away. I’ll definitely reach out to Kristen if I need a pet sitter while away again.
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!!
Damon watched our pups over the Christmas holidays. This was our second time using him, and it was a great experience. Communication was good, got cute pictures, and the house was in great shape when we came back. Our older dog is slow to warm up to men, and after this second time, she seemed much more comfortable with him. I will gladly use him again as a sitter. I felt secure with him here as we were gone a long time, and the dogs seemed very well cared for when we returned. He was great about doing the medication Gypsy required while we were gone. Overall, a great experience!
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Lake Stevens is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $63 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
