“Venessa did an amazing job providing care of our two cats and koi fish while we on vacation. She was super communicative and went above and beyond to earn the trust of the cats since one is extra shy and hard to find. We loved the detailed summaries of how the day went with the cats, and the pictures. I highly recommend Venessa!”
“Bevan is so sweet, caring and helpful. She made our shy cat feel so welcomed and safe. I recommend her to any pet sitter. I look forward to booking with Bevan again! ❤️”
“Emma is so kind, reliable, and thorough, and has been great about communication. I would recommend her to anyone and definitely would book her again to look after my baby boy (my sweet older cat)!”
About: I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable care throughout the week. I will make time for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I always follow each cat’s routine and keep owners updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any special routines. I make sure doors and windows are secure, keep the environment clean and calm, and always treat every home with respect. I will provide regular updates and photos so you know your cat is happy and well cared for.
“Julie was so amazing! She was very accommodating with my last-minute request, and kindly came over before my trip to meet Spidey. She sent great pictures and videos, and really spent time playing with him and getting his energy out! Spidey seemed so much more relaxed than when I normally leave on vacation, and I would love to have Julie come back any time :)”
“Abigail is the BEST! She took amazing care of my cat, Oliver, while I was away. Her loving attention and thoughtful care went above and beyond. I especially appreciated her detailed (and hilarious) updates as they gave me much needed peace of mind while I was gone. It means the world to know that Oliver is not only safe, but also loved and understood, especially since he’s such a shy boy. She was reliable, warm, and completely understanding of his needs. I’m so grateful to have found her, and I’ll definitely be rebooking with her for my next trip.”
“Tyler was awesome while taking care of our cat Sparty!! He was super communicative and we loved getting our daily photo updates from him! We will definitely be booking with Tyler again in the future!”
“Shannon is great, very easy to work with and she took great care Mylo while I was out of town. I very much appreciate her help. I would definitely recommend her, but the only issue is if you book her you might take time away when I need her again. 🤔 Just kidding book her if you need her help! 😂”
About: I’m a caring and attentive pet sitter with hands-on experience raising and caring for my own pets. I’ve raised two kittens in my home and have a senior dog that I dog sit often, so I’m comfortable caring for pets at different ages and stages of life. I’m experienced with bathing, brushing teeth, nail trimming, basic training, and keeping pets comfortable and on their normal routines. What sets me apart is that I’m thorough, patient, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality and needs. I currently work part-time and will be returning to school for a post-graduate program, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to work with your routine and do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs, including regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and extra attention when needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and careful to follow your instructions and their usual routine. I’m also very communicative and thorough, and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pet and space is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Rev and Gizmo had a wonderful time with Yixuan. They are somewhat shy about leaving my house, but they did come out of their shells and explore a little. I would most definitely board them with her again, the next time I go out of town. I am sure Rev and Gizmo will be glad to see her too.”
“This was our second time using Shae and we would definitely use her again! We felt confident that our kitty was well-cared for when we were gone. We got multiple pictures every day, and our cat always looked like he was loved and having fun. I would totally recommend Shae for cat-sitting!”
About: I have loved dogs ever since growing up with two of them, and I helped care for them, especially as they got older. I currently help out with my roommate’s two dogs, and I have experience dog-sitting two greyhounds and walking dogs for a job. I also have two cats of my own and have cat-sit for neighbors and friends before. I’m currently a paraeducator in the Port Angeles school district, and I end my day at 2, so I am available for walks/check-ins after that on weekdays, and most weekends. I am not able to house animals in my own home since there are already animals there who do not have experience around new animals. However, I am happy to stay overnight as I am available to care for your house and pet, and I can also stop by to feed, play with, and/or walk your pet.
“It was the first time using Rover. Kiki was perfect and I was able to have a great trip knowing my girls were in good hands. I definitely will use Kiki again and Rover is amazing.”
About: Hi friends! Growing up, my mom walked and trained dogs, and when I was 12, I started helping her. I have experience with a range of dogs and cats, and whatever accommodations they may need. I have a sweet, eight year-old mutt of my own, Loki. He adores everyone and is a toddler at heart! Although he’s in a wheelchair for longer walks, he’s pretty independent. He’s happy to come along or stay at home, depending on your fur baby’s preference. My schedule is open and flexible to best fit my client’s needs. I can do mornings, afternoons, and evenings- whatever you and your pet need. I treat every client’s home like I would my own. I make sure that rules and expectations are set ahead of time, and that the fur baby is well taken care of.
“Talia took very good care of our new kittens over the weekend. I received several photos during each drop-in visit. The care that Talia took with the narrative for each visit was much appreciated! My husband and I will definitely book with Talia again.”

Venessa was great! They were available on short notice and flexible with our needs. Our cats were well taken care of and we know this because Venessa was very good about sending us pictures every drop in with the update. We would certainly hire Venessa again and we definitely recommend!
Sarah watched my cat for a over a month while I was away on work travel. She was great and I would definitely go with her again the next time I travel. Sarah gave me daily updates, was fast and responsive, helped take care of household chores, and made sure all my cat's needs were met. Thanks Sarah!
We’re so lucky to see Gargi and ask her to look after our cat during our trip. Gargi is always thinking about the best way for us and took care of our cat with warm hearted ❤️ I was very worried about having to leave my cat at home, but I’m so glad I was able to ask her to come. Her everyday updates and photos are great too!
Sam was fantastic with our kitty! She followed all of our instructions and our kitty clearly loved all the attention she gave him. She was flexible when our schedule changed last minute and really helped us out in a pinch. We’re already looking forward to her next stay with him!
Amy was the most amazing cat sitter! She did an outstanding job taking care of our two kitties while we were out of town for 10 days. I was so impressed by her attention to detail and the amount of effort she put into taking care of our cats. Our cats are extremely shy, but Amy was able to earn their trust and get them to come out of hiding! I highly recommend Amy, and I will definitely be using her to look after our cats again in the future!
Kyra continues to be a reliable and compassionate provider for us. She goes well above and beyond often without me even asking. She is flexible and understanding. She sends notes and lots of pictures. I feel like she truly cares about our kitties. She has cared for our kitties multiple times and she is always my first choice. Highly recommend.
Merddyn took care of Sir Domino and Maddie while I was away visiting family, and she was wonderful! She was communicative, empathetic, and you can tell she really understands cats. I shared Domi and Maddie’s different personality traits with her, and she made sure to respect their boundaries while giving them the time and space to warm up to a new sitter. She kept me updated on how they were doing and their eating patterns and even let me know when I was starting to run low on food. I felt very comfortable knowing Domi and Maddie were in her care. I would definitely book with Merddyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive cat sitter!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Mountlake Terrace is $25 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
