“Vanessa was awesome! She definitely knows how to handle cats, as she was extremely patient with our's. She was also kind enough to carry a super heavy bag of litter up a flight of stairs, and even vacuumed a bit. Highly recommend Vanessa!”
“Bevan did a great job taking care of our two kitties! She even managed to get one of our normally very skittish kitties to come out and say hello. We'd be happy to have Bevan catsit for us again.”
About: Hi, I'm Leah, and as you might have guessed, I am a huge pet lover! I've been incredibly lucky to be surrounded by sweet furry friends my entire life - growing up with everything from dogs and cats to iguanas and birds - and I have adored every single one of them. As an adult, I raised an adorable corgi and currently share my home with two sweet black cats. I hold a very special place in my heart for senior pets and for those who need a little extra love & care. My beloved corgi, Bamboo, who has since crossed the rainbow bridge, had Degenerative Myelopathy (DM). Caring for him taught me so much about keeping pups cozy, happy, and comfortable. I truly miss him and miss having a dog in my life, so walking and looking after yours would bring me so much joy! I'm also a very proud cat mom to two precious black kitties who have taught me so much. My senior cat, Kanga, has Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC), which has made me well-versed in creating peaceful, stress-free environments for our feline friends. My other kitty, Kiwi, has asthma, so I'm completely comfortable administering medications, including inhalers and oral treatments. Since I'm self-employed as an artist, my schedule is wonderfully flexible and I'd love to chat about how I can help. If you happen to be looking for a house-sitter, I would truly love to help you out. I'm available for quick stays of 2 to 4 days at a time. I look forward to hearing from you, and tell your furry friend I said hi, too 🖤 Since I work from home as an artist, my schedule is wonderfully flexible! I can easily adjust my time to fit whatever works best for you and your pet. If I stay at your home, I'll be there to keep your furry friend company throughout most of the day since my work travels with me. Please rest assured that I will deeply respect your space, follow all of your household rules, and keep everything safe and secure (like food that is toxic to pets). I love building a bond of trust with pets by letting them set the pace for interactions.
“Stephanie never fails to pamper our cats while we’re away! She sends detailed reports about their behavior, eating, and goofy antics. We love seeing the pictures and reading her updates. She takes care of our cats as though they’re her own, and we are so glad to have found her!”
“Melissa was amazing! Nice Rover reports each day with adorable pics. She went above and beyond taking care of some household stuff in addition to taking care of our fur babies. Highly and enthusiastically recommended!”
“Always feel so confident leaving my pup in Nate's hands. I am a huge worrier, but every time he is coming to look after Fargo, I am very calm and don't stress because I know he's so good with him and will take great care of him. Truly appreciate the peace of mind!”
About: When I was a kid I had birds, fish, a hamster, and a black cat named Tova who was my absolute world! When I was 12, I moved in with my grandmother who was a former poodle groomer. She had 2 standard show poodles. I learned a lot about dogs from her. I took junior handling classes weekly and trained them (Ellie & Grace) from puppies. That was when I grew to be both a cat and dog lover! Now I am 35 and work as a professional horticulturist caring for 3500 tropical plants. I also worked at the Amazon Spheres and frequently helped with the fish tanks. Taking care of living things is my passion. Right now, I have a poison dart frog named Todd who I raised from a tadpole - so I have some experience with exotics as well. I frequently pet and house sit for friends and colleagues. Most recently I boarded 2 bunnies at my house for my coworker. I have also done extended house sitting for 2 senior dogs who required daily medication, my bosses cat, and my real estate agent’s Cavalier King Charles puppy. Since I was a kid, animals have always felt very comfortable around me - even the skittish ones! I am on medical leave from work right now and am looking to fill my days giving animals love while making a little extra cash. My schedule is very open. Whether you’re just looking for someone to stop by and feed, walk, or spend some quality time playing with your furry friends, I’m here to help. If you have any questions, please reach out! I can provide references. I’m currently on leave from work so my schedule is open and flexible. If the weather is nice I typically work in the garden in the late afternoon so your pets can hang out with me outside (if you want!). I generally do not like to leave dogs in the garden unsupervised but I can let them out multiple times a day. I can also take them to the park or bring them with me on my evening walks. My home has a fully-fenced in yard with grass. I only have a frog in an enclosed terrarium in my bedroom so your pets are free to roam and make themselves at home. If I am coming to your home I may need to leave occasionally for morning or afternoon appointments but I am happy to stay and hang out with your pets, take them for morning and evening walks, etc. I will leave your home clean and as I found it.
“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!”
About: - Lifelong pet owner with 20 years of experience in animal care. - Licensed animal massage therapist. - Experienced in providing in-home drop-ins, dog walking, and administering medication. - Highly reliable and trustworthy, with a genuine love for animals. - Experienced in providing care for all types of dogs, both small and large, young and old. - Self-employed with flexible schedule. I am fully self-employed so my schedule is flexible for most situations. I can drop in to care for (or walk) your pet while you are at work or away for extended periods of time. I always send daily photos to show they are being loved while you are gone! No one knows your pet better than you, so I always make sure I pay attention and heed the advice and instructions of the owner about how their pet likes to be treated. Some dogs love to be played with and perform tricks to get treats, while other dogs are nervous or in the process of learning not to jump on people when they first walk in. Likewise, cats have very different personalities and must be treated as indiviuals. Some cats run to the door like a dog to be greeted and picked up, while others would prefer to be left alone since you are not their human (though I usually win them over quickly!).
“Shae was great when it came to communication and specialized care for our cats. She is a delight to chat with and it is noticeable in all she does that she loves all fur babies and does not shy away from delivery specialized care....even when pilling a feisty cat.”
About: Growing up I always had a lot of cats and dogs, so the desire and love to look after them is there since my childhood. I have a fully remote job so I always work from home! This gives me the flexibility to look after the pets at any time of day, week days and weekends. Preferred after 11 am on week days. At my client’s home I would always provide careful and gentle pet care, while also making it fun for the pet to spend time with me.
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.
“Our cat Poco was cared for by Lynlee who is just amazing!. We were out for 7 weeks and the experience with her was fantastic from start to finish. Lynlee made sure Poco’s food was always refilled on schedule, took him for regular walks, and kept an eye on his overall wellbeing. We received consistent updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Poco felt comfortable and loved, and we returned to a happy, relaxed cat instead of a stressed one. Lynlee was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with cats, treating Poco like their own. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter on Rover.”
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.
About: I have owned dogs and cats for my entire life, and I love spending time with and caring for them properly. I have a senior extra large dog and a very fussy and picky cat, so I have spent a lot of time researching their safety and paying attention to their preferences to make them as happy as possible. I would love to share my love and attention for your babies as well! I am not currently working, so I have all the time in the world! I do still have my boys to take care of, but I will make sure your pets are as much of a priority as I make my own when I can! My pets have regular vet care and check ups, and have everything they need (including me) at their disposal whenever they need it. Unfortunately I cannot host any pets in my home due to my cats temperament, but I’m happy to be wherever I’m needed!
About: I have experience with pup's big and small! Whether it's walking my girlfriend's reactive 80lb Pitbull, or making sure my 10lb cat is spoiled rotten, I have a lifetime of experience taking care of animals! I'll make sure your pup is the star of the show during our time together, sniff walks, enrichment or a leisurely stroll for an elderly friend, it's all in my wheelhouse! I have summer off from school so my days are wide open so I can make your pup my number one priority! Once I am back to school in September I will still be able to make time for your pup between homework and classes as I'm a full-time student which gives plenty of free time (don't tell my professors!) I have experience with aggressive and reactive dogs, so I am observant and ready to be a step ahead of any kind of trouble! I treat your pet like my own so safety is always my number one priority at all times, whether we are walking and move to the other side of the street if an unknown dog is approaching, or on high alert for E-bikes zooming down the path, your pet is always safe with me!
About: I've had experience working with both cats and dogs of various sizes and breeds. I have experience dog walking, dog sitting and giving various medications to animals. Along with feeding animals with different dietary needs. I'm really friendly and patient towards dogs who are shy or nervous! For dog sitting I'm comfortable going to your house if that works easier! Currently in my internship year for grad school so I have availability two and half days out of the week and availability on weekends! I am will to be flexible. Caring for pets in their own home starts with pet-proofing the space by securing windows, removing toxic plants, and clearing away hazardous objects. I maintain a safe environment by strictly adhering to the pet's regular feeding and exercise routine to minimize stress. Throughout my visits, I observe their body language closely to ensure they remain comfortable and calm. I also keep emergency veterinary information readily accessible and provide the owner with consistent updates on the pet's well-being.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Mountlake Terrace
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!
Sarah looked after my cat for two weeks during my vacation in October 2026. I've been highly pleased with her care of my furry son and my house and how consistent and effective her communication was!!! I'll be leaving my cat in her hands with great peace of mind during subsequent trips
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Mountlake Terrace is $25 per visit as of October 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.
As of October 2026, there are 6,014 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Mountlake Terrace. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
