“Wendy did an amazing job taking care of our pups! She gave plenty of updates and photos while we were away, and was very quick at responding to messages. I highly recommend booking her, and plan to book her again in the future.”
“We found Nancy when our usual sitters were occupied. She is wonderful. She paid AKI her full attention during the meet and greet, and then kept her fed and entertained during the overnight. She did a couple of texts and pics to assure us. We would use Nancy again.”
“Just got back home last night to a very peaceful, happy, calm boy kitten. House was lit for an easy arrival home: Thanks Nathan! I hired Nathan to stay at the house here for the week I was gone. I felt that was the best arrangement for this young male kitten I adopted only a few months ago. Nathan provided a "top of the charts" kitten sitting service and the two of them kept each other busy with play time and plenty of company. Paolo is a pretty energetic, busy kitten and quite social too. Nathan sent me a couple of pictures each day and a couple of play time videos showed up over the week too. I really did appreciate and enjoy Nathan's professional approach to the care taking of my young cat and I highly recommend his services. I'll be scheduling with Nathan on my next out of town trip. Thanks again, very much Nathan!”

“Katarina arrived to my house on time, left it clean and picked up, and sent me fun updates throughout the day! Our Baker loves her and was so excited to see her come back a second day!”
“David was fantastic with my dog! He is very responsive, friendly, and a guy who really knows his stuff about pets. He sent me lots of updates, so I knew my pup was in good hands and having a blast. I can be a worry wart so this was huge! You can tell David genuinely loves animals and every picture of my dog showed she was on an adventure and having a BLAST with him. If you're looking for a pet sitter, pick David. I'm definitely calling him next time and he is the best sitter I’ve found! Thanks a million, David! PS He was great with my tortoise too! :)”
About: I am a lifelong cat and dog lover, currently the much fur-covered owner of two black cats who were trained to high five for their daily treats. I have volunteered at our local shelter in the past, work well with both large and small dogs. I believe in positive reinforcement methods and a calm, patient presence, allowing animals to approach me at their own pace. I raised my current set of cats from about 6-weeks old, and have some experience with injections and administering oral meds. If your pet will need medication, I'll ask you to demonstrate your method and leave written instructions. I am a graphic design contractor working remotely, which allows a great deal of flexibility when it comes to locations, scheduling, and the needs of your pets. I try to keep a general 7am-3pm schedule for work, but my tasks are usually flexible, which allows me to adjust free time to allow for walks, exercise, or feeding schedules. If you entrust me with the care of your pets and residence, I will request written pet care guides for your animals so I can maintain their routines and keep them as comfortable as possible while their owners are away. I willl have my phone handy at all times for communication, and will happily snap photos of your pets every day, especially if they are doing something silly.
“Tonya did a fantastic job taking care of our boys and watching our house while we went on a short vacation. She kept us updated and I had no worries about our boys. She's the best and will definitely use her again.”
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Natalia. She happily offered to give our pup a bath and cleaned the house without us having to ask. I was nervous as this was our first international trip post covid/getting pets, and she alleviated everything. Tons of pictures and updates, not to mention how incredibly sweet she is. We couldn’t trust her more, and will 100% book her again. Thank you so much Natalia, you are amazing!!”
About: I am an extremely reliable pet sitter! Apart from growing up with and caring for dogs my entire life, I have years of experience in house and dog sitting, walking, and caring for dogs with special needs and attention. I also have experience caring for cats, fish, and plants! I work part-time and am fully available to care for your pets Friday through Sunday.

“Zachariah was a pleasure to work with. Our two doggies instantly loved him! He has a kind demeanor and is a great communicator. We hired him for a 4 day stay over and he was responsible, respectful and clean. He sent us photos of our doggies every day and reached out when he had questions. We will be hiring him again in the future.”
About: I've been responsible for pets since age 10. Cleaning litter boxes, walking dogs, playing fetch, refilling food dishes, and being a patient, gentle, attentive owner who reciprocates unconditionally love. Now, at age 30, I've gained a deep understanding of cats and dogs, raised many from kittens and puppies, and have parented them through full, happy lives. I work a part time job as a home designer in Seattle, only about three days a week, 15-20 hours, usually mornings. I have plenty of time for pet care most evenings and my weekends are always free. Please give me a few days notice for weekday pet care so we can work around my schedule. I live in a spacious apartment with one roommate who is also very gentle and loving toward animals. We keep our areas tidy and our food secured in high up cupboards and in the fridge. I live in the master bedroom and keep my door open and my floor clean as well. There are comfy couches and a queen bed if you'd like your pet to have free reign on furniture. There is also a large, open grass field just a five minute walk from my apartment for dogs to run around and play.
“Kalyn was a wonderful dog/house sitter for our two Ausiedoodles while we were out of town. She’s great with communication, dependability and animal behavior/handling. We have a dog with special needs and she was respectful and thoughtful with his specific care instructions. I look forward to Kayln watching our dogs and house again.”
“Tyler was great with our feisty dog Juno. She went on some fun adventures and we came home to a happy dog and tidy house. Thanks so much and we’ll definitely book again in the future!”
“Juan was great with our big fur-baby Tristin! Juan took Tristin on a few adventures while we were gone. When I was getting my post vacation snuggles with Tristin he told me it was fun to be a big boy dog while mom and dad were on vacation. 🐾❤️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Mukilteo is $64 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $89 per night. 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Mukilteo walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Mukilteo maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mukilteo choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
