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 :)
“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.”
“David is a consistently great sitter! We have used him multiple times. He is very reliable and our cat is always happy and healthy upon our return. Highly recommend!”
“Saint *saved the day* by accepting my day-of request to stop in two times for my three dogs. I had never hired anyone to watch my dogs so I was nervous, but Saint let me call and text out all my requests and concerns and he handled it professionally + with care! I will definitely be hiring him again!”
“Anna is extraordinary! Our pup is just learning about the crate and how to be alone and Anna has been incredible at working with he and supporting me through this tricky time. Singing her praises!”
“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 ❤️”
“Noelle is such a wonderful, loving sitter! First time booking with rover and I am so thankful she booked with me! My lil pup loves her and has helped him with keeping with potty training, short walks outside, and even train him! I would definitely rebook! I actually booked for the entire month and I am glad that my pup has someone like her since I can’y be with him all the time. Thanks Noelle!”
“Deyaneira was great with my dogs during the drop-in visit. Even my small, reactive, dog felt comfortable with Deyaneira right away. Both dogs enjoyed the visit and I hope to book with her again soon!”
“Bevan was very good to my Cairo. Before we booked her, I was very clear with my Cairo’s needs & what we wanted on a sitter. We were looking for someone to regularly take care of Cairo every few months. We did a m&g and she asked very pertinent questions. We did the first drop in and everything went smoothly and fine. She’s very professional, seems very patient & like she knows what she’s doing. We’ve decided that we’re going to continue to book her regularly for Cairo’s care. I’m very appreciative of her.”
“Lily was great with our senior kitty. She was on time each and every day and provided us with an update after each visit. She even cleaned our kitty's dishes after each meal.”
“Jeanne took great care of our three cats. She was always quick to leave a Rover Card after her service visits, which consisted of a few sentences to update us and very cute pictures of our kitties. It allowed us to relax and truly enjoy our extended weekend trip, instead of wondering how our fur babies were doing. We also see that the kitties enjoyed her company and were not stressed when we got back home. Thanks, Jeanne!”
“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.”
“Hattie has been such a wonderful dog sitter! She arrives promptly on time and is an expert at medication management with a fickle dog. I know my dogs are in good hands with Hattie.”
“Venessa has been walking MoMo for the past 3 months! She is the best and give MoMo such a great care! MoMo loves her! And she is so flexible and genuinely nice! We love her!”
“Our sweet girl is so happy having Kali come over (instead of heading to the cattery). We get updates on each stay and pictures of our kitty strutting for the camera. It couldn’t be easier or more reassuring. Thank you Kali, you make our vacations so much easier and our cat couldn’t be happpier.”

Nancy was wonderful! Our shy boy didn’t quite come out to play, but she was so patient and caring with him. She arrived consistently at the scheduled times each day, and we really appreciated the reliable updates and care. She was also so sweet and even left Buckley a little toy, a thoughtful touch that meant so much! We would absolutely recommend Nancy and would love to have her care for Buckley 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.
Elaina was wonderful. She cared for my kitty. She went out of her way to come and befriend my cat, Meghan. She made sure I knew how Meghan was doing. I was able to enjoy my art workshop and not worry about my kitty. I definitely would use her to cat sit my baby.
Melissa was fantastic! She was patient, followed all instructions carefully, and communicated proactively. I appreciated the updates and felt confident my cats were in good hands. When we came back, the cats were relaxed and settled, which was such a relief. I would definitely book again.
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.
I just recently adopted Latte, so was unsure how she'd react to me being gone and to a pet sitter. Kali was great with her and they became fast friends with Kali giving her lots of pets. I received updates and cute pictures, making me feel relaxed knowing Latte was in good hands.

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 .

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

- 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.
