“Samah took excellent care of our cats while we were away. Everyday we received photos of them and knew they were being well cared for. Her son even left the most adorable drawings of each cat that are now being proudly displayed on our fridge. You can rest assured that with Samah your pets will be loved as if they are her own.”
About: Although Dogs came into my life much later than cats, they have become such an important part of my life. I have a 4 year old Golden Retriever, and have helped with and loved on my friend's and family's dogs for the better part of 10 years. I love dog walking, running, and playing fetch! I'd love to help your pup get some exercise too. I'm currently working part-time so will have lots of availability for drop-ins and walks. Let's connect and see if we can setup a routine. I have flexibility to adapt my schedule. I have a small fenced yard, a pup that loves to play and walk, and three cats. Although I am not able to offer care in my home right now, I would be happy to bring my pup along for a playdate or walk if this would benefit everyone.
“Hattie has been such a wonderful dog sitter! She arrives promptly on time and is an expert at medication management with a fickle dog. I know my dogs are in good hands with Hattie.”
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.
“Taylor was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. She provided great service to my two kitties and let me know how they were doing each time she came to the house. Would highly recommend her for your needs!”
“Scott takes such good care of my cat when I’m away, and he always provides consistent, detailed updates. It’s so nice to know that I don’t have to worry about her when I’m not there. Thank you, Scott!”
“Bevan was very good to my Cairo. Before we booked her, I was very clear with my Cairo’s needs & what we wanted on a sitter. We were looking for someone to regularly take care of Cairo every few months. We did a m&g and she asked very pertinent questions. We did the first drop in and everything went smoothly and fine. She’s very professional, seems very patient & like she knows what she’s doing. We’ve decided that we’re going to continue to book her regularly for Cairo’s care. I’m very appreciative of her.”
“Kaitlin was fantastic! She was very thorough during our meet & greet, asking all the right questions to ensure my pups were well taken care of. Great communication the entire time, & she was a natural with the dogs. I had peace of mind during my trip knowing she was dropping in on the pups! Highly recommend :)”
About: I know what it is like to need a trustworthy pet sitter, and I commit to insuring a great experience for you and your animals. I currently work about 4 days a week at PCC in Edmonds. I am able to do morning and night checks, and dog walks in the Edmonds area. I would love to meet and care for your animals. I am excellent at caring for animals in their home environment. I feel that when they are at home they are more at ease and I am better able to care for their needs.
“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: 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 lived my entire life loving and caring for dogs — over 34 years of experience. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for walks, feeding, and overnight care. I’m excited to care for energetic puppies or senior dogs who need a gentler pace. As the fur dad of a senior golden retriever and a middle school teacher, I’m patient, consistent, loving. Your dog will be treated with the same care and kindness I give my own. I’m a full-time middle school teacher who lights up around dogs! My workday runs 7am–4pm, which means I’m happily available for weekday afternoon and evening walks and drop-ins. Overnight boarding is welcome any day of the week — as long as your dog is comfortable relaxing on their own while I’m at school. They would have the option of a fully-fenced backyard oasis with covered patio or could commandeer our couches and beds inside! My new house is pawsitively perfect for pups — fully fenced backyard with soft artificial turf, lots of greenery, and plenty of shade for lounging or zoomies. Think of it as your dog’s personal backyard resort. Inside, dogs are welcome on all furniture. My mantra is that "dogs are people too." My senior golden retriever lives here too. She’s super docile, spending most of the day napping, smiling, or begging for treats.
About: Hi there! I’m excited to meet and take care of your dog/cat just as much as you are! I both work from home full-time and have lots of flexibility and are able to spend all day with your furry animals and give them all the love/attention they want and need. I treat everyone's animals as if they are my own and love them just the same however i can also keep them on a schedule/rules that you have set in order to maintain consistency. I am well versed in giving medication to pets if you need that service provided and have trained many dogs from puppy age upwards. I have 3 dogs of our own, Angus, Fergie and Logie who are all Mini Aussie Labradoodle. They are well trained and love to play with other dogs. While your pets are with me, I will train/work on new tricks/commands if you would like and we will always send you amazing pictures of your furry family members! I have had a lot of repeat clients that book directly with me which is why we closed our Rover bookings for the past several years and have lower repeat clients on this app but I am are happy to provide references of all my clients upon request! I are looking forward to meeting you & your animal family! **please note that I do daycare on the weekends in addition to weekdays. However, I charge additional fee to our rate. Weekday daycare times - 7am - 5pm, pick up and drop off outside of these times are subject to additional fees. On weekends my typically times are 9am - 5pm. If you need times outside of this, please feel free to message me and I can work with you on a rate for the times you need! Thanks! Working fully from home and have lots of flexibility in my schedules to look after your pet. My weekends are free for the most part also and never leave your pet for more than 2 hours alone. I have a fully fenced yard, friendly dog for your dog to play with and will happily crate train your puppy if needed. We also work on tricks, place stay and provide daily enrichment for your dog while they are with us and obviously for the best results teach you how to do this also.
“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.”

Hanyu was wonderful with Simba! She was very attentive, followed all of his instructions, and made me feel completely comfortable having her care for him. Simba seemed happy and well cared for, and I really appreciated the updates while she was with him. She’s reliable, kind, and clearly great with dogs. We’re so happy to have found her and would definitely recommend her! 😊
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!
Hi Deyaneira, Sorry it has taken a bit to update you on everything. I got home on Thursday Night, and Molly was super happy to see me. She hadn't eaten much of her food when I got home, but it might have been that she wasn't hungry. Thanks for taking care of her while I was on vacation, and the notes were really helpful that you sent to me as it gave me peace of mind that she was doing good.
Xiuqi, is amazing! She was great with communication the entire time we were gone. My dogs are super needy and both have their own anxieties and she did great with both of them! She also went above and beyond to make sure everything stayed clean and nice. Would 100% rebook with her and the dogs loved her.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Mountlake Terrace choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code.

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.

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 .
