About: WFH Full-Time 🏡 Huge Fenced Yard 🐾 15+ Years of Loving Care. Hi! I’m Ailyn! I work from home full-time and have a fully fenced backyard, which means your pup will have constant supervision, bathroom breaks on demand, and plenty of outdoor playtime. Dogs have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have cared for dogs full-time for over 15 years, and at one point, I happily managed my own pack of three. Sadly, my last beloved dog passed away recently. Our home feels far too quiet now, and we truly miss the joy, energy, and companionship that only a dog can bring. Working from home gives me the perfect opportunity to open our doors and welcome some wonderful extra company. When you leave your dog with me, they become part of the family. My daughter also absolutely adores dogs and looks forward to showering your pup with love and playtime the moment she gets home from school. Whether your dog prefers lounging by my desk while I work or fetching toys in the yard, they will receive endless attention and a safe, loving environment. Why My Home is Perfect for Your Pup Always Home: I work remotely, ensuring your dog is never left lonely or unattended. Secured Play Space: A fully fenced, secure backyard perfect for safe zoomies. Lifetime Experience: 15+ years of full-time dog ownership and pack management. Double the Love: A dedicated adult caregiver during the day and an eager helper for evening playtime. I am working from home full time and can tend to your pup all day in our fully fenced home, available to meet and greet evenings after 4:30pm and weekends. I have a fully fenced back yard, I can crate your dog, I can continue your training schedule, walk schedule and am happy to play with your dog several times a day.
“Jin was an amazing sitter, and clearly cared well for my dog… he got to go on multiple walks and was relaxed and happy in her care. So grateful for her excellent care and will definitely be back!”
“Very responsive and was able to accommodate on short notice. Bonnie seemed to enjoy snuggling on all the soft blankies and dog beds there too! Came home happy and healthy, I got lots of photos and updates. Bonnie probably appreciated being the only dog there too haha.”
About: Your pet is part of your family and I will treat them like they're part of my family. I understand rules are different in each house and I'll ensure I respect and follow your rules to ensure your pet returns just as happy and healthy as I received them. I am currently working from as a therapist so I have the flexibility and ability to ensure your pet is well cared for. They will be able to go out when needed and get regular walks! I can come to your home or they are welcome in mine. We have a large fully fenced backyard and a wonderful neighborhood with many walking paths to ensure they get their stimulation. For the cats, we have cat towers and toys ready to go for the playful kitties.
“Conor watched my puppy for 2 days in a row at his place. She is only 5 months old. He did a great job with her, she was able to play with other dogs at his place and came home tired each day. She seemed happy to see him the next day, which is always a great sign. He gave me updates and sent photos as well. It was a great first experience with Rover. Would definitely book again.”
“Thanks Le for looking after Spud! I have received couple status updates during the day. I really appreciated that. And Spud even learnt a new trick from you! Hope to have you as sitter again. Very recommended”
“Buddy is getting to bond with Jenny. She is amazing. Loving, caring and all day she was keeping me informed about buddy. I am glad Buddy finally love someone that loves him. Thanks Jenny. See you soon.”
“Emily and Steven were amazing!! First time using this app and leaving my dog with strangers. My dog has severe separation anxiety and Emily and Steven were able to make her feel comfortable and calm. I received updates throughout the day for both stays and will be contacting them the next time we need care for our pup. Thank you!!”
“Roni did a great job making me feel comfortable leaving my two pups with her for daycare for the first time. She shared lots of photos, videos, and reassured me of how they were doing throughout the day. Margo and Tucker came home happy and tired after playing with their new friends!”
“Michelle and Brian are the best! I had a last minute request for a play date with Ari and they were quick to accept. Oakley had a great day with his new best friend!”
“Michelle and her husband were delightful and very attentive to our pups first experience being left at a strangers home. Their fenced yard was a great for exploration and they are so accommodating inside with doggy beds and sofas for the aching joints our older dog has and for the laps our younger dog so wants to sit on. Thank you both for being so attentive and thoughtful.”
“Yuliia and her family were genuinely happy to be with our Cinnamon. They impressed us with their kindness, happy go lucky ways and sincere care for Cinnamon. I highly recommend this family not only for the aforementioned items but also because: + Their home is easy to get to. Parking is always available. + Inside, their home is very organized and clean. + The children and the adults made for happy play-mates with Cinnamon. + This family has an integrity beyond reproach. I could trust them with my human children if I had any. + They sincerely care for our canine kid. + Yuliia is very responsive and quick to reply. To close, I never worried about Cinnamon. There outdoor deck is sturdy, the green area outside is kept nicely and they are very good neighbors to all around them. Book this family to watch your four legged pals; you will have ZERO regrets. You will be super fortunate.”
About: I've cared for dogs belonging to friends and family for several years, including overnight boarding in my home. At one point, we cared for two guest dogs in addition to our own dog, so I'm comfortable managing multiple dogs while making sure each gets attention, exercise, and a safe environment. I'm active and enjoy long walks, and I understand how important routine, patience, and clear communication are. I know every dog has a different personality, so I take the time to help them feel comfortable and keep owners updated with photos and messages. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel relaxed and confident while you're away. I'm currently very flexible and can provide plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy being active and taking dogs for walks, playing with them, and making sure they stick to their normal routines. I offer boarding, daycare, and walks, and I'll work with you to accommodate your schedule whenever possible. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly 6-year-old Black Labrador who enjoys the company of other dogs. I've cared for friends' dogs in my home, including boarding multiple dogs at the same time, so I'm comfortable introducing dogs carefully and supervising their interactions. To give every guest my full attention, I only accept dogs from one family at a time for boarding. I'll follow your dog's feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions you provide, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay.
About: Hi! We are Erick and Laura and both grew up in households filled with dogs. We are both fully employed in the tech world, both privileged enough to work from home every day all day which enables us to spend hours on end with our dog as well, and take regular 1-2 hour walks throughout the day. We walk 5 miles minimum a day with our very active australian shepherd, and we actually run a photography and travel business on the side so we are always out doing something fun/cool/active, especially for those dogs looking to integrate into adventurous days while their humans are traveling! We've pet sat many different types of dogs over the years and are capable, motivated and excited to watch your dog! We work from home every day and have very flexible schedules, so we can accommodate pretty much any schedule that your dog needs. We are already frequently at the dog park with our dog as well! We can accommodate any need. If your dog prefers a crate, needs medicines, needs additional support, we can certainly work with you to make sure your dog is happy as possible while you are away. We are also very regular picture takers so will send many happy updates. You may even get professional photos of your dog given Erick's propensity for beautiful photos! :)
“Toto had a blast with Alex and Sarah for day care today, who were extremely communicative and easy to work with. Will definitely bring him back for daycare, or future overnight stays! Thank you for taking such great care of our Toto!”
About: I have an 9 year old Australian labradoodle, Dundee, that I've raised and trained since she was 9 weeks old. She has environmental allergies so I'm experienced with dietary restrictions and giving injections and oral medication. I only dog sit non-shedding breeds due to allergies. I can flexibly walk your dog and let them out to play in our yard according to their needs. I take my own dog, Dundee, on regular walks everyday so your dog would have a friend to walk with! She is fully vaccinated, super chill, and loves to give kisses and cuddle. I have a fully fenced yard in a quiet suburban neighborhood. Dogs are welcome to sleep in a crate or dog bed you provide, we follow your rules! I also have two children under age 10 who are respectful of pets in the home and also helpful with feeding them, letting them out in the yard and back inside.

Michelle and her husband were delightful and very attentive to our pups first experience being left at a strangers home.

Thank you both for being so attentive and thoughtful.
My dog Nala is a very anxious dog, but going for regular visits at Cait and Sean's has given her so much more confidence in her interactions with other dogs. They are always very accommodating, and show so much care when introducing Nala to the other dogs that may be spending time with them. They are both so good with her!
This marks Morita's second visit to Jenny's, and we are delighted to observe her positive experience. Jenny consistently fulfilled all our requests and provided exceptional care for Morita. We are highly satisfied with Jenny's services and eagerly anticipate Morita's next stay at her home.
I booked with Conor last minute and he was able to accommodate. This was my first time leaving my puppy with someone, so I was definitely nervous. Conor has a very calm, kind demeanor which immediately put me at ease upon drop off. My pup had the time of his life playing with Conor's dogs and in their kiddie pool. I will definitely be booking with him again.
John did a great job watching my Moms dog for us. We just want Sadie to get acclimated with some new fur friends and this is a great way to do that. John was very attentive to her needs and is very good with animals..it was a great first time and hope to continue our doggy day care through Rover and John :)
Christine was wonderful, we had a brief booking with her during our trip to Seattle. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed her time and made new friends. She ensured our comfort by providing regular updates and photographs. We highly recommend her services and plan to return.
Scott took great care of my dog, Annie! She came home happy and completely worn out, which is always a good sign. He sent pictures during her stay and even took her for a walk, which I really appreciated. I would definitely use Scott again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Mountlake Terrace commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 3,695 sitters in Mountlake Terrace, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
