“Another wonderful experience with Kory! Our super shy young kitty came right out on this visit because she feels so safe. Kory is always so kind and thoughtful, and we appreciate the updates on the kitties.”
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve spent years feeding them, taking them on walks, cleaning their litter boxes, keeping their spaces tidy, and making sure they get plenty of playtime and affection. I currently have two kitties of my own, and they’re like my babies. I’ll care for your fur babies with the same love, attention, and patience I give mine, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule during the week, which gives me flexibility to fit pet care into my schedule. I’m able to stop by for visits, give attention, playtime, and keep your pets’ routines consistent while you’re away. I’m also available on weekends so whether you need help during the work week or extra support on Saturdays and Sundays, I can make it work smoothly for you and your pets. I care for my client’s pets like they’re my own. I’m attentive to their needs - consistent feeding based on their routine, fresh water, and clean litter boxes and living area. I will make sure that they are cared for with lots of love and attention to keep them happy, comfy, and thriving.
“Venessa is an excellent pet sitter. She took wonderful care of our pet and kept us updated throughout. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Gail has been a great sitter for my two dogs. She has been reliable and friendly and you can tell she also cares for and enjoys my animals. I would highly recommend working with Gail on any dog sitting needs.”
“This is our second time using David and he did a great job watching after our 2 cats for a week over the holidays. We would definitely recommend him and use him again.”
“Anna was amazing with our 10 week old golden retriever puppy! After our meet and greet I felt at ease knowing she would be checking in with our pup! She played lots with him and shared great photos! We will be asking to have her check in lots!”
“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.”
“My cats love Jeanne - she knows what kind of scritches and treats they love. She goes above and beyond, like letting me know if the litter is getting low. She’s the cat’s meow!”
“Easy choice, would book again. Glad we picked Miranda to watch our shy little house panther. He warmed up to her better than most people and she kept an eye on everything we needed. It was great to have peace of mind while traveling.”
“Arielle was amazing with my fearful rescue puppy! She was patient, punctual, and sent lots of photos and updates. So nice especially as my puppy is still adjusting to her new life out of the shelter! Much appreciated!!”
“Bevan was so wonderful with piggy! She was very communicative, sent us photos and videos. We would definitely definitely recommend her to anybody, and hope to use her in the future!”
About: I'm super passionate about animals and pet care, and I am grateful for every opportunity to hang out with them. I love to spend time getting to know pets, and I am great at adapting to their quirks and needs! As a recent graduate, I'm looking to expand my pet care experience and help people. I'm available all week, and devote most of my time to animals - with my experience including hundreds of hours of pet sitting and dog walking, my role as a wildlife care assistant at PAWS, and experience as a kennel technician at a veterinary clinic! When caring for pets at my house or a client's, I never leave for long periods, and I'm great at staying on top of medication requirements. I am also able to provide pick-up and drop-off services to make things easier for owners.
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 :)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mountlake Terrace
Elaina is the absolute best, and we feel so lucky to have found her! Our cat takes a little time to warm up to new people, and Elaina has been so patient, gentle, and kind with her. We love seeing their relationship grow and watching the trust (and pets!) build each time. We always feel completely at ease knowing our girl is in such good hands, and her updates and photos while we’re away are the best. We truly can’t recommend Elaina enough!
Chloe is an outstanding pet sitter! She took care of my 18 year old cat for 2 weeks when I was away. She was completely reliable, visiting twice a day (I got notifications and photos). She played with my kitty and faithfully gave her medicine. It’s so reassuring to know that while I’m gone, my cat is well fed and well cared for.
Ricardo was very patient, thorough, responsive and nice. He did everything we asked for perfectly. My cat’s very shy, and I appreciate how respectful of her space he was while still taking care of her. I recommend working with him, I know I’d definitely book him again.
Deyaneira provided excellent care to my senior cat and sent thoughtful and timely updates. She has clear experience with cats and appeared to treat my cat like she was her own. She followed instructions perfectly and asked for clarification and guidance when needed. Would absolutely recommend to folks looking for a reliable pet sitter!
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! 😊
Carina stepped in on very short notice to care for our cat over Labor Day weekend and we couldn't have been more appreciative. We've worked with her several times now, and she has always done a wonderful job. Carina is a kind, reliable, and conscientious person. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy petsitter.
Merdyyn was excellent! It was our first time having her cat sit for us, and she was very diligent. She clearly enjoys and understands cats, and she was patient, friendly, and playful with our Marvin. She sent us ample texts and photos so we could see how he was doing. She also kept an eye on the house, and carefully cleaned up and locked up after her last visit. We will be happy to have her cat sit the next time we're away, and we think Marvin will be too.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 11,509 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mountlake Terrace. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mountlake Terrace. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
