“Mishie was absolutely wonderful with Kailani and Ani! From the moment we left, she kept us updated with lots of photos, videos, and detailed messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took the time to read and follow our care book, respected our routines, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about our dogs. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups, and that means everything to us. After a previous bad experience with another sitter, finding someone like Mishie was such a relief. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is reliable, communicative, and truly loves animals. Thank you, Mishie!”
“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!”
“Cami was absolutely wonderful with Tommy! She sent me lots of pictures and videos, and I felt so reassured while she was taking care of him! I love the peace of mind I have knowing he’s in great hands. He already can’t wait to see you again Miss Cami! Thank you for everything! :)”
“As always the communication is excellent and I have peace of mind knowing my Henry is being taken care of. I appreciate Kaitlyn's kindness and professionalism.”
“Meaghan did an excellent job taking care of our house and two spoiled senior chihuahuas, while we are on vacation for a week. She was professional, friendly and caring. Louie & Banjo got plenty of walks, cuddles, and attention, both dogs were happy and well cared for when we returned. The house was clean and well taken care of. Meaghan went above & beyond! We’re so grateful for all the love and attention she gave the dogs and the house. Highly recommend Meaghan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter and house sitter!”
“If I could leave more than five stars I would. Brandy took such good care of our foster dog Ace. Ace is reactive to other dogs but Brandy has experience with this kind of behavior, I was completely comfortable leaving him with her for neighborhood dog walks. She sent daily updates, and so many photos I felt like I was gone for two days, not a whole week! Brandy also treated our home with the utmost respect, and cleaned and remade the bed with fresh sheets before we got home late at night. I almost cried with relief! She took Ace on so many adventures, I realized I need to step up my game! I felt as if I've known Brandy forever and I was leaving my dog with a trusted friend. We will 100% call on Brandy again to watch Ace, and any future dogs we have!”
“Zachariah goes above and beyond for our puppies! He asks all the right questions and sent us prompt updates and photos of puppies so we ALWAYS had assurance that our puppies were doing well! He is so kind and courteous, thoughtful and respectful to our furry family and his love of animals is VERY clear! We’ll be depending on Zach for our puppy’s care in the future!!!!”
“Paris took excellent care of our dog! She sent us pictures everyday which we loved and looked forward to ❤️ Our dog had an ear infection when we dropped her off, Paris administered the medication as requested, and her ears looked fantastic when we picked her up. We well definitely be calling on her again!”
“Sherri was absolutely amazing! She updated us with texts and photos of our dog throughout the weekend! Very communicative and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Delmis was great at communicating and sending photos. She took them for walks each day and they looked so happy. She did a great job and I was able to relax knowing they were well cared for.”
About: I've taken care of cats my whole life, as I have always had them. I've also taken care of friends dogs and helped a friend who has show dogs, feeding them, playing with them, ect. I currently work full time, Monday-friday 6am-3pm. My shifts are pretty flexible as well. I tend to keep my weekends open for any pet sitting needs. I have a dog park in my apartment complex and trails near me for walks. I have a spare bedroom your fur baby would have free range of.
“Holly was wonderful - communicative, caring and reliable. She gave great updates and I returned home to a happy puppy and a clean house. Very much appreciate being able to trust Holly with my dog and my home.”
“Due to age, our dogs health declined after we left. Kristen continued to communicate about his symptoms and eventually helped get him to the emergency vet. She even came back to the vet to be with him when he passed. She went above and beyond what I would have expected for a dog sitter. I'm thankful Kristen was there for him in his last days.”
“This was our first time using Autumn and we definitely will be using her again and again. We ended up having to ask her to do a favor for us while she was housesitting and she didn't hesitate to take care of what we needed her to do. No questions asked. Our rott also had a big accident in his crate overnight and she immediately called me in the morning and let me know what happened. She cleaned up the crate and washed it down, washed the dog and cleaned the spots on the carpet and vacuumed. Our house was picked up and you couldn't even tell that there had been an accident. She is truly amazing with our dogs and I could tell that they love her. Can't wait to use her again.”
“Sharon was great! This was our first time having her sit for us and we already have her booked again. She is very good at communication and sent pictures. One of our dogs is a little “too excitable”, when meeting new people. She went with the flow on how I wanted them to meet and they became friends quickly. Thanks Sharon for taking care of our fur babies.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Mukilteo
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mukilteo on Rover is $60.61 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,085 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mukilteo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
