“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.”
“Kendra was great! Highly recommend. She took great care of our two dogs. She was prompt and I could tell from the pictures the dogs enjoyed her company. Thanks Kendra!”
“Holly always takes such great care of my Bruce. She goes above and beyond including things like taking the initiative to brush him, even though I’ve only requested a drop-in. She always makes sure he has plenty of water and his favorite toys available. We both love her ❤️”
“Thank you for taking care of my two bunnies, Tiffany! The fact that my usually very scared and shy rabbits came out to see you must mean they are very comfortable with you! They can really sense who the animal lovers are! I am looking forward to having you back!”
About: I've had dogs almost all my life growing up and was always the go to if any relatives or friends needed a dog sitter! I work until 4:30 in Kirkland. I can easily drop by after work or later in the evening to check in on your pets. I will follow whatever instructions you give me and take care of your pet how I would want someone to watch over my pets! I can provide fresh food and water every day and even hang out for a little to have play time!
“Shandel was great! She communized well and took very good care of my cat while I was away. I could tell by the pictures she sent that my cat was very comfortable with her. Would definitely recommend to others and I would book again.”
About: Hi, I’ve taken care of dogs of all kind. My family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to help take care of their dogs. I’m available on Mondays starting at 12:30AM to any time, on Tuesdays from 8AM-9:45AM, and on Friday from any time in the morning to 2:45PM. I have a fenced front yard for my own pets and the pets of others to play. The front yard to fairly large for dogs.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs and love nothing more than to give fur babies my undivided attention! Since moving to Washington 5 years ago, I’ve been caring for friends/neighbors' pets, taking them on walks, feeding them, playing, and watching them while they are out of town. I just adopted my own mixed pup from Seattle Humane in April; let me spoil your sweet kitties and pups! I can work from home most days, and set my own schedule for the most part, so I am able to take short breaks to take pets on walks or work from another home to make sure the pup or kitty isn't alone for extended periods of time. I imagine pet care fitting easily into the days I work from home. I don't currently have any pets in my home. When it comes to pet sitting, I always make sure to open the door slowly if the pet is loose in the house. I let the pet sniff my hand before attempting to touch them, and give them space if they don't seem to want to interact with me. When it comes to walking, I don't walk with headphones in to make sure I can hear what else is going on nearby. I wouldn't take them near spaces where I know there are likely to be other dogs unless that is requested.
“Zachary did really well with our 3 cats while we were gone for 6 days for our destination wedding. It was our first time leaving the cats with someone other than a family member, so I naturally was worried. However, Zachary did really well with feeding them, sending me photos, cleaning the litter box, watering my plants, and feeding my fish. He was even helpful by cleaning up the plant that my cat knocked over. Overall, Zachary is respectful, polite, and always on time. I recommend him to watch your pets.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes, from smaller, Formosan mountain dog mixes and Pomeranians, to large American bully/pitbull mixes. I have also taken care of dogs of all ages, from golden retriever puppies to senior dogs with medication needs. While I'm taking care of your best friend, they will have their unique needs met and their need for companionship fulfilled until your return. I'm currently in-between jobs, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets. Overnight care, odd hours, and long walks are all in the scope of my care. I bring a slow, trusting approach to working with your pet. As I work with your pet to address their needs, we'll learn each others tendencies and become more and more comfortable with each other, helping them feel safe and comfortable throughout my stint.
About: I have owned dogs and cats for my entire life, and I love spending time with and caring for them properly. I have a senior extra large dog and a very fussy and picky cat, so I have spent a lot of time researching their safety and paying attention to their preferences to make them as happy as possible. I would love to share my love and attention for your babies as well! I am not currently working, so I have all the time in the world! I do still have my boys to take care of, but I will make sure your pets are as much of a priority as I make my own when I can! My pets have regular vet care and check ups, and have everything they need (including me) at their disposal whenever they need it. Unfortunately I cannot host any pets in my home due to my cats temperament, but I’m happy to be wherever I’m needed!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mountlake Terrace
We’re so lucky to see Gargi and ask her to look after our cat during our trip. Gargi is always thinking about the best way for us and took care of our cat with warm hearted ❤️ I was very worried about having to leave my cat at home, but I’m so glad I was able to ask her to come. Her everyday updates and photos are great too!
Sam was fantastic with our kitty! She followed all of our instructions and our kitty clearly loved all the attention she gave him. She was flexible when our schedule changed last minute and really helped us out in a pinch. We’re already looking forward to her next stay with him!
Sarah looked after my cat for two weeks during my vacation in October 2026. I've been highly pleased with her care of my furry son and my house and how consistent and effective her communication was!!! I'll be leaving my cat in her hands with great peace of mind during subsequent trips
Amy was the most amazing cat sitter! She did an outstanding job taking care of our two kitties while we were out of town for 10 days. I was so impressed by her attention to detail and the amount of effort she put into taking care of our cats. Our cats are extremely shy, but Amy was able to earn their trust and get them to come out of hiding! I highly recommend Amy, and I will definitely be using her to look after our cats again in the future!
Kyra continues to be a reliable and compassionate provider for us. She goes well above and beyond often without me even asking. She is flexible and understanding. She sends notes and lots of pictures. I feel like she truly cares about our kitties. She has cared for our kitties multiple times and she is always my first choice. Highly recommend.
Merddyn took care of Sir Domino and Maddie while I was away visiting family, and she was wonderful! She was communicative, empathetic, and you can tell she really understands cats. I shared Domi and Maddie’s different personality traits with her, and she made sure to respect their boundaries while giving them the time and space to warm up to a new sitter. She kept me updated on how they were doing and their eating patterns and even let me know when I was starting to run low on food. I felt very comfortable knowing Domi and Maddie were in her care. I would definitely book with Merddyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive cat sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Mountlake Terrace is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $40 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 11,376 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mountlake Terrace. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 93% 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
