“My cats obviously loved Gargi! My semi-feral, shy Jasper hides from EVERYone, but not from Gargi! She may be the only other person who can pet him. It’s so important to have someone the cats like and trust. I hope Gargi will be available every time I travel.”
“Kendra did a fantastic job with my two cats. She handled our escape artist who tries to go outside and kept an eye on our cat who had recently been ill. Thank you!!”
About: Hello! We are Hunter and Ellyssa. Just a married couple that grew up with farm animals and loves dogs. Together, we've fostered 4 rescue dogs - some reactive, some super calm - and raised them to become ready for their forever homes! We don't have any pups of our own right now and so we are welcoming all kinds of pups in our home! Ellyssa (uh-Lisa) has taken care of doberman's and dachshunds since she was 11 years old. She loves every type of dog personality and looks forward to dog walks as much as the dogs. She has helped rescue dogs from Mexico and has fostered over 10 dogs of varying ages from 4 months to 13 years old senior dogs. Hunter grew up with 2 golden retrievers named Rosie & Susie and then became a dog trainer for search and rescue dogs in North Carolina. He's helped train puppies up until they were 3 years old and loves to learn about every dog's quirks. We both work flexible remote jobs and spend 6 out of 7 days at home. When we do choose to go in-office, it's usually just to get out of the house. Because of our flexible jobs, we are able to build our schedules around puppy care and senior care needs. We're happy to provide boarding and daycare at our home or at your home! Wherever your pups are most comfortable with. Walking visits are also available if we can arrange a regular schedule so it can be worked into our work calendars! For all services, we will ask you for your dog’s daily routine, their personality quirks, preferences, etc. so they can trust us sooner! And of course, we will send photos! Daycare, housesitting, and overnight stays would be structured around your pup’s existing schedule. Walks and check-ins would occur as close to your pup’s schedule as possible with the time range you choose. We are experienced with both puppies (hard minimum age of 8 weeks) and senior dogs that have a range of diet, potty, and oral medication needs. We are also experienced with reactive dogs with a history of biting. However, we only take reactive dogs on a case-by-case basis after a trial meet and greet walk with you (the human) present. We live in a very pet-friendly apartment complex that has a dog spa station that we use for grooming visiting pups. Our own apartment is a spacious 1100+ square foot 2 bed/2 bath apartment with a patio that has space for up to 2-3 dogs for boarding. We live near a very walkable neighborhoods and 2 parks that are dog friendly. We also live near Edmonds and enjoy taking dogs to the beach if they are a fan of humans and water.
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 :)
“Amy was great! She was quick to respond to my questions and took wonderful care of Tito and Cosmo while I was away. She kept me updated, followed all of my care instructions, and made sure they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. It was clear she genuinely cared about them and took the time to understand their peculiar personalities and routines. I really appreciated the peace of mind she provided and would gladly trust Amy with Tito and Cosmo again in the future.”

“We were so grateful to have Kory take care of our kitties again. Kory is always so sweet and kind, and we love receiving photos and thoughtful updates when we are out of town.”
“I needed someone to do late night visits with my pups and David was great! The photos he sent of my babies showed they clearly loved him and were very well taken care of. He even brought packages in for me on multiple occasions which I greatly appreciated! Will definitely be using him again in the future.”
“Michael was most helpful in facilitating my trip abroad over Memorial Day weekend. He was incredibly communicative and a friendly person, too. He dropped in to check on my cats and made sure that the house was well in order for when I returned. Definitely recommend!”
“Great experience overall. Very responsive, kept us updated with lots of great photos, and took excellent care of our pets. We felt totally at ease while we were away. Would absolutely book again.”

We hope to work with Kali again in the future and greatly appreciate everything she has done for us!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mountlake Terrace
Elaina was the best! My pets instantly felt safe around her and you can tell she's got a natural touch with animals. She left me detailed notes and pictures every visit and it was such a relief knowing my fur babies were safe and well looked after in Elaina's care. Will be booking with her again, no questions about it.
Jeanne always does an outstanding job taking care of my two cats. I appreciate how well she communicates and love reviewing the pics she sends in the Rover cards. She's my go-to pet sitter whenever I schedule a trip. I actually book my trips around her schedule because I don't want to use another pet sitter!
Highest recommendations for Kyra! This was our first time using Rover and everything was great. Communication was superb, she took great care of our kitty and small stuff around the house, and the daily updates we so appreciated! We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing our cat was in good hands!
Melissa was wonderful! She was punctual, communicative, and took great care of everything while we were away. Even though our cat is incredibly shy and decided to stay hidden the entire time, Melissa was so patient, kind, and thorough with each visit. She kept us updated, gave us peace of mind, and left everything clean and tidy. What really meant the most was that we were away attending a funeral, and Melissa left us a thoughtful condolence card. It was such a kind and unexpected gesture that truly showed how caring she is. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would absolutely book Melissa again. Highly recommend!
Venessa was amazing!! My mother had a last-minute trip planned and we needed someone to check in on her two dogs for the weekend. Venessa came through and did so well with them. We recommend you reach out to her for any fur-baby needs and we will definitely book her again!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Mountlake Terrace stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
