“Emma was very friendly and took great care with our 3 pups. She had them outside each day to play and let them sleep with her at night. We came home to some very happy dogs. I would definitely ask Emma to sit for our dogs again. She is very sweet.”
“Jann took great care of my 4 kitties and my house while I was away. She has a friendly and calm manner that attracted one of my shy cats out of hiding. I highly recommend her!”
“She was awesome! My pets loved her! When we got home my dog was searching for her lol. My cat is usually very shy around strangers but she came right up to Debbie!”

“Alison and her little one Cassidy were perfect caregivers for my Lily. They stayed at my home and made sure she went on plenty of walks, and kept up with her relentless energy playing with toys. I was provided with plenty of photos and updates while I was away. Couldn’t be more thankful for the help over the holiday while I was gone.”
“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.”
“Toni was great! She was very flexible with times, and my dog was very calm and relaxed when I returned home. She kept me updated on how things were going and is very nice!”

“Tonya is friendly, smart, conscientious, and a good communicator — absolutely perfect! We felt comfortable leaving our two fur babies in her care, and having her stay at our home. We’re relieved to have met her and we’re already booking again!”
“Holly’s amazing! We’re so grateful to be able to travel and know our dogs are being cared for by a genuine animal lover. Our dogs are big bodies with bigger personalities, and Holly takes them and their needs in stride. Holly’s also a great communicator, which is so helpful when life gets hectic 😅”
“Tera watched my dog and cat for a few days while on vacation. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in her care. She was very communicative and gave lots of love to my animals in my absence. Would recommend her to anyone! Will certainly be using her again in the future. Thanks tera!”
“As always, Kristina was amazing! She made us feel so comfortable knowing our babies were being so well looked after. She was communicative, always thoughtful and friendly, and even sent us photos so we could see what a good time our doggies were having with her. We would recommend her to anyone who asks!”

“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!”
About: I have had pets for over 20 years. I love all fur babies and will take care of yours while you are away. Currently I have 3 doggos and your baby can chill with the pack or have their own space. I’m comfortable bathing pups, administering meds, whatever you need! I work part time in a remote (wfh) position that allows me to be with my babies all day every day. Can be let out for potty breaks every few hours or as needed. I have a large fenced backyard for your pet to chill out with my 3 friendly dogs, short distance to trails, and if your dog is on the shy side, they can be on their own but still safe and happy.
“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: 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

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!
This was Lexie's second time staying with our three dogs. This time we were away for 10 days. We appreciate that she took great care of them while we were away and I think they appreciated all the snuggles and treats! We received MANY photos, videos and updates. And when our return flight was delayed a couple of hours, Lexie rearranged her schedule to be able to stay a couple of extra hours so our dogs wouldn't be home alone for too long, which was a huge relief for us.
Crystal was terrific! Superb response time, left my house in excellent condition, was very accommodating, and took great care of my pups. She even made a last minute change at my request involving a bit of juggling of plans on her end, which I greatly appreciate. I will definitely reach out to her in the future for more pet sitting.
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!!
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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
