“Elaina was loving, attentive and supportive to our elderly cat while we were on vacation for a week! She sent photos every day, took wonderful care of our cat, and wonderful care of our home! I highly recommend Elaina to everyone!”
“Absolutely best!! My little boy cats are usually afraid of new people but they loved her from the start. They looked forward to seeing her each day. She was very friendly and responsive. We will be using her from here on out. Love her! ❤️”
“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.”
“Kory dropped in at last minute notice to take care of my gang of three. He was very communicative with me about this visit and his patience with my pets even though one was not so welcoming. I have Kory coming back soon to pet sit and after my interactions with him and this drop-in visit, I know my pets will be well taken care of by him.”
“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!”
“David is an outstanding dog sitter! He’s incredibly reliable, always communicates promptly, and takes amazing care of our dog, Sassy. He’s consistently on time and has saved us on multiple occasions when unexpected events kept us away longer than planned. David genuinely cares for Sassy, and we couldn’t ask for anyone better. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Michael took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away for an extended vacation. He took time with them and sent us regular updates, which was very much appreciated. When our plans changed while we were on the road, Michael graciously extended his time with us. What a relief to know our pets were in such capable hands. Highly recommended.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life, ranging from small to large, puppy to senior. Family friends and neighbours have requested my dog walking services in the past! I recently graduated from college and my schedule is very flexible and open as of right now while I'm searching for a full time job! I treat other people's pets like I treat my own--with lots and lots of love. I am very good at following instructions and seeing to the needs of pets :)
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.
“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.”
“She did everything as requested, left great reports after visits, and handled some situations that needed troubleshooting well! I felt she kept my cats and house safe and secure! Would definitely hire again.”
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 :)
“I have a 13 yo German Wire Haired pointer that due to arthritis is not able to accompany me anymore on long day trips. For the first time, and with no small amount of anxiety, I left him in the care of Hattie for a drop in visit mid-day and a walk. She was kind, caring, prompt and provided photos and a “report” of the walk so that I could enjoy my day away and know my dog was well cared for! Merry Christmas to me!”
“Kendra is a wonderful sitter!! She’s always on time, communicative and spends quality time with our dog. We feel he’s in great hands whenever we leave for a trip out of town.”
“Cheryl took care of all the pets as agreed upon. She had never taken care of ducks, but she was happy to learn. She sent photos which is always appreciated. We will (already hired her) have her take care of our pets again.”
“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.”
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.
“Lili is a trustable pet sitter and takes great care of our two cats. The communication went well, and she also gets along well with the cats. On each visit, she would share about how it goes and take pictures of our cat snuggling with her, very much appreciated!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Mountlake Terrace is $25

Jeanne was accommodating with our scheduling and engaging and thorough with caring for our kitties. Respectful, responsive, a huge help with their playful energy as well as wonderful photos that kept us up to date with them from far away. Knowing they were being doted on meant the world to our family and let us be present on vacation with no worries for our feline family members.
I'm a bit of an anxious pet mom because one of my dogs is an energetic husky and the other is a highly reactive dog with a complicated medical history. Abby did an incredible job keeping me updated about how the dogs were doing while I was away, including sending loads of adorable photos. She went above and beyond giving my highly reactive little guy his inhaler twice a day; there are fewer than five people in the entire world that he actually likes and she is one of them. She did a wonderful job ensuring that my energetic husky got the activity and enrichment that she needed to be happy, that my little guy got his medication and cuddles, and that I felt secure the entire time I was gone knowing they were in excellent hands. I can't recommend Abby highly enough.
Wonderful as always! We've been booking Natali to do mid-day drop-ins to let our dog out and play with him, and she's wonderful. She takes care of our dog, and also always makes sure to give tons of updates and notes. We have a cat as well and Natali isn't doing any cat services during her drop-ins, but Natali noted the other day that our cat was lazy and didn't come to greet her like usual, so she wanted to let us know in case anything was wrong with the cat. The cat was totally fine, but Natali's communication demonstrated that she really cares, pays attention, and takes such wonderful care.
All I can say about Xiuqi is that she is amazing. She took care of my kitties like they were her own. She was always on time and went above and beyond to take care of them. Though I had special request she took care of my concerns right away. She is a great communicator as well. Would recommend her with no hesitation.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Mountlake Terrace on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 July 2026, there are 11,553 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

- 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.
