“Addona is amazing, as always. She makes going out a pleasure, we don't have to worry about a thing. She has to medicate both of our boys and she does a great job. Thank you Adonna, we very much appreciate you!”
“Kristen is so good with our pups. They warmed up very quickly and let her pet them non stop and took treats! I feel very comfortable and confident with her caring for them when we aren't home! Will be using her again 🥰”
About: I have taken care of hundred of dogs over the last few years, ranging from 10 week old puppies to senior pups and I truly love getting to know each and every one of them. I currently have 3 pups of my own (Angus, Fergie and Logie) and pride myself on treating your pet, just like they are my own. I work from home full time doing pet care, I am with the dogs that come from daycare and overnight care 24/7, so your pets are never alone or left unattended while they are in my care. I have lots of experience walking dogs of all sizes, traveling to bring dogs to their furever home, and taking care of other animals in your home too, if needed for stop in visits. We have 3 dogs of our own, Angus, Fergie and Logie (don't worry they are all under 20lbs) but they love to play with each other and other dogs so your dogs get lots of energy out while they are here with me! My house is completely pet friendly and I always treat your dog just the way you tell me too! Our yard is huge, completely fenced in and secure in both the front and back, so no need to worry about them while you are away! I'm currently doing this as my full-time job so I will spend all day with them, giving them all the love they need and rightfully deserve! Fully fenced yard in both front and back, dogs can come and go inside and out as they please! When I walk your dog, I always make sure to enter and exit your house securely so the pet has no chance of escaping and double leash while I walk so they are always on a back up leash :)
“I booked Lynlee for 2 weeks while I was on vacation in Japan! I was super nervous about leaving 3 kitties for that long but she did a meet and greet and was able to give one of my cats his medication just fine. She was also very communicative through the whole trip! I left instructions and she went above and beyond! Super happy to have chosen her for my 3 kitties!”
“Nancy took great care of my two cats while I was out of town, including giving one of my cats medicine. She also kindly watered my plants! I will definitely be requesting her services again.”
“Thank you again Laney! You are always so patient with our dogs when it’s been awhile and they need some time to reacquaint themselves. We really appreciate you filling in the gaps our house sitter couldn’t cover.”
“AJ took great care of my cat and made sure my cat was OK when there was a fire alarm that went off in my apartment complex. He was great communicator and made me feel at ease checking in on my fur baby”
About: offer both dog walking and drop-in visits focused on keeping pets on their normal routine. Whether it’s a structured walk or a quick home visit, I prioritize safety, consistency, and reading each pet’s comfort level. Walks are steady and controlled with attention to leash behavior and surroundings. Drop-ins include feeding, water refresh, litter care for cats, and basic companionship without overstimulation. My goal is reliable care that keeps pets comfortable and routines uninterrupted. I work full-time from home, which gives me a flexible and reliable schedule for pet care visits throughout the day. This allows me to offer consistent availability for morning, midday, and evening drop-ins or dog walks, depending on your pet’s needs. Because I’m already home during the day, I’m able to plan visits with short notice in many cases and maintain a steady routine for recurring clients. I’m also available on weekends with advance notice. My schedule works especially well for pets that do best with predictable care times, regular walks, or consistent daily check-ins. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority during every visit and walk. I focus on creating a calm, controlled environment where pets feel secure and routines stay consistent. During dog walks, I use safe leash handling practices, pay close attention to surroundings, and avoid situations that could overwhelm or stress your dog. I prioritize steady pacing and clear awareness of other animals, people, and traffic. During drop-in visits, I make sure doors are secured, feeding routines are followed exactly as instructed, and pets are monitored for any changes in behavior or comfort. I take my time with shy or cautious animals so they can feel safe in their own space. I’m respectful of your home and treat every visit with care, cleanliness, and attention to detail. Communication is straightforward and honest so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Kimberly is great! She’s easy to work with and very capable. While there were no issues here, I feel like she could handle anything. I appreciate her timely and good communication style. Thumbs up!”
“Shelly is the best! Every time we go out of town, we feel completely at ease knowing our cat is in such caring and capable hands. It makes it so much easier to truly relax and enjoy our time away, knowing that our furry family member is well looked after. Shelly is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We always return from vacation to a happy pet!”
“Daniel was awesome, and went above and beyond to take great care of our two cats. It was a stressful trip, but we were glad to know our cats were taken care of. He gave us constant updates, and plenty of photos, including of their food and litter box. Daniel even trekked through the snow to check in on them!”
“Penny was a pleasure to work with! She's definitely an animal person, as our cats weren't shy and climbed all over her. She was great about communicating, even with technical difficulties, and provided lots of updates and pictures. She followed instructions and even grabbed packages, which I hadn't specified. I would definitely use her services again! I rested easier knowing my fur babies were well taken care of.”
“It was our first time leaving our cat since we adopted her, and I was pretty nervous. Our cat Mocha usually doesn’t like new people, but she warmed right up to Kristine. She took great care of Mocha and sent lots of pictures. I appreciate her updating us on how Mocha was eating and adjusting to being without us.”
“Helen was great! Checked on my little fur baby and gave him lots of love. Definitely put my mind at ease while I was away. Would 1000% recommend her if you are looking for a pet sitter.”
“Anna has been so wonderful helping me out on a few of my longer days I’ve had come up while raising my lil puppy! Anna has been so nice, professional and caring with my pup, and super responsive. Couldn’t have found a better person!”
“I can’t recommend Abby highly enough! She took care of my cat in the past, and she was incredibly caring, responsible, and trustworthy and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. My older cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes, and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to travel again because of his medical needs. He requires medication, so leaving him behind was a huge source of anxiety for me. He is also very shy and tends to hide from people, so I was especially worried about how he would react to someone else caring for him. Abby was so patient and gentle with him, and he really made significant progress with her. She was able to gain his trust enough to handle him and give him his medication, which was a huge relief for me. Managing a diabetic cat takes extra care and attention and Abby handled everything so well. If anything seemed off with him, she immediately notified me, stayed calm, and worked through the situation and even offered to come check on him again later in the evening to make sure he was okay. Knowing she was so attentive and willing to go the extra mile gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to actually enjoy my trip without constantly worrying. She also took wonderful care of my kitten and gave her much needed extra playtime and attention, which I really appreciated. My kitten loved Abby’s visits and it was so nice knowing both of my cats were getting the individual care and attention they needed. She sent me daily detailed and hilarious updates with pictures and videos, which I absolutely loved. The updates made me feel connected to my cats while I was away and gave me plenty of laughs along the way. Abby truly goes above and beyond, and it’s clear that she genuinely loves animals. I’m so grateful to have someone I can trust with my cats. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful, compassionate pet sitter, and I will definitely be rebooking with her again.”

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.
Elaina did an amazing job taking care of my senior blind dog while our family was out of town and I highly recommend her. She did drop in visits, and made sure my dog got food, walks, and pets. It was so nice to get the photos and updates and know our dog was being well taken care of while we were gone. Thanks Elaina!
I'm a bit of an anxious pet mom because one of my dogs is an energetic husky and the other is a highly reactive dog with a complicated medical history. Abby did an incredible job keeping me updated about how the dogs were doing while I was away, including sending loads of adorable photos. She went above and beyond giving my highly reactive little guy his inhaler twice a day; there are fewer than five people in the entire world that he actually likes and she is one of them. She did a wonderful job ensuring that my energetic husky got the activity and enrichment that she needed to be happy, that my little guy got his medication and cuddles, and that I felt secure the entire time I was gone knowing they were in excellent hands. I can't recommend Abby highly enough.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
