“Brean is timely, kind, professional to work with, covers her bases with meeting the animals and going over things before committing. Will definitely work with her again. Thank you Brean!”
About: I have over 7 years of hands-on pet care experience with animals of all sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities. My professional background includes working in kennels, doggy daycare, grooming, dog training, and veterinary assisting, so I’m comfortable caring for everything from playful puppies to seniors and pets with special needs. Safety is always my priority, but I also want your pet to feel like they’re part of the family while they’re with me. I’m comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, providing frequent potty breaks, following detailed feeding or medication routines, and caring for pets who may need a little extra patience. I also have dog and cat first aid/CPR experience and am comfortable with large breeds, multiple-pet households, and pets with different activity levels. I send regular pictures and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾 My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, playtime, walks, feeding, medications, cuddles, and whatever routine your pet is used to at home. For boarding, I have a house with a fenced yard and plenty of opportunities for supervised outdoor time. Dogs are welcome to relax on the furniture and make themselves comfortable. I keep care personalized and follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, crate routines, medications, exercise needs, and sleeping preferences. Because I have dogs and young children in my home, I’m careful about making sure boarding dogs are a good fit before their stay. Meet-and-greets are always welcome! My goal is for you to leave feeling completely comfortable and for your pet to feel like they’re having their own little vacation. ❤️ I have a fenced in yard and and a dog park in walking distance! My home also has room for pups to run and play!
“I felt super confident leaving my dog with Ava. She is such a good communicator and was very flexible with my needs for drop off and pickup. She stayed at my house and left everything very clean and tidy. Will definitely use again!”
“My dog was very well cared for and loved on for 10 days I was gone. The house looked great as well. She kept me informed and provided videos throughout her stay. Would highly recommend for overnight stays if needed and care for your pets.”
About: Dog owners and their dogs will love the fact that I understand a dogs needs I have three dogs of my own who I spend most of my time around, I understand the basics of caring about dogs and how to treat them and teach them how to be well behaved! I’ve had my oldest dog from the time he was 8 weeks, he is now 11. I have trained him how to sit, speak, shake hands, lie down, and he was fully potty trained in 1 month of having him! I also enjoy cuddling and playing outside with dogs which I’ve learned dogs are just like humans they need activity and love to stay happy and healthy, and that’s why I believe my service will be a wonderful thing. I’m currently working part-time and would love to be able to help take care of your animals, when you go on vacation or just need them walked. Dogs will always be on leash and walk on the inside part of the sidewalk, when letting them out to use the restroom I’ll ensure it’s safe for them to do so first if the area isn’t fenced.
“Sydney was great!! I have huskies, so they are very active, plus they are spoiled rotten, and she was kind and loving. First time I have ever left my boys with a house sitter and when we got back they saw us, got their movies and went back to letting her pet them. They were well taken care of. She did send one Pic, to let me know how they were doing. But in fairness, I did text her daily asking for updates. So, she even put up with the overprotective dog mom. I will absolutely be inviting her back.”
About: Hey, I’m Caitlin! I have been a dog owner my entire life, and have always adored caring for them. I’m always ready to match a dog’s energy, whether that be cuddling on a couch or playing fetch in the yard! I have had many experiences with dogs that need at home medical attention, such as administering unwanted pills. While most of my experience has been with dogs, I also enjoy getting to know cats, whether they be playful or sassy! I hope I can be the right fit for your furry friend! I’m currently a full time student at Eastern Washington University. My classes are Monday through Friday, taking up only two to four hours a day. I am a quick learner of the environment that a pet is in, and can adapt to their wants, needs, and routines. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I have a great understanding of making sure they are safe, cared for, and well loved.
“Alexandra has proved herself to be a great cat-sitter. She followed our cat care instructions very well. She spent time with them in the evening/night when they get the most lonely(they sleep most of the day), gave them wet food on schedule, checked their water fountains, dry food dispensers and litter robot to make sure they were in order, and cleaned up after Boo when he puked. When we came home, the cats seemed emotionally very well and cared for. I could tell she had spent the right amount of time with them and given them enough attention, because they were not upset, stressed or angry at me for leaving them as they would be if they had not been attended to sufficiently. Alexandra was also very kind to our apartment while she was over, leaving it very clean. Best of all, she was easy to communicate with while we were away. I definitely recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“We liked Joy enormously. Shadow and Toby had so much fun they slept the entire afternoon after she left. And they loved the snuggles and sleeping under the sheets! We'll definitely book Joy again.”
“Rachel was a great communicator and our dog loved her. This was the first time Rachel dog sat for us and Rachel made sure our dog was comfortable with her before we left. Our house was clean and tidy when we arrived home. We received updates from her so we knew things were going smoothly. Highly recommend Rachel!”
“Carla was quick to respond and took great care of my dog when my other sitter backed out at the last minute. She sent pictures and updates and I could not have been happier with the service she provided.”
“Krista was awesome! She communicated well throughout, sent lots of pictures to let us know how our pets were doing, and took great care of our house! It was spotless when we got home. Thanks Krista!”
“Ava recently stayed with our boys and we/they couldn’t have been happier. She was very responsive and did an excellent job making sure they both felt taken care of. Will definitely reach out to her again next time we need someone to stay with them.”
“Jocelyn was a great sitter for our three pets, two kittens and a senior teacup dog. She took our garbage cans out and back multiple times and even watered our plants. We’ll definitely be using Jocelyn again!”

Liz, took great care of our dogs. She took time to help them get used to her again, going at their pace. They had plenty of time playing fetch and being outside. We loved all of the pictures and updates. She also was clean and tidy, leaving the house in excellent condition after her stay.

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 Medical Lake 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 Medical Lake 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 Medical Lake 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.
