“I can't say enough good things about Kaitlyn! She was amazing, and Bernie loved her! She took great care of him, and was extremely knowledgable with how to handle a high energy, high anxiety pup. 5 stars, would recommend.”
“Bryan is a wonderful sitter. Excellent communication, kept me posted frequently on my dog, sent pictures (when my dog could stay still!). Left the place clean and spotless. Would recommend over and over. Amazing, caring, personable and genuinely cares for animals.”
About: Hi! I’m a 28-year-old animal lover who has grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’m patient, attentive, and happy to work with all types of dogs. I live an active lifestyle, so whether your pup loves walks, runs, trips to the park or beach, or simply cuddling at home, I’m happy to match their pace. 🐶❤️ I’m responsible, dependable, timely, and flexible with my schedule. Most importantly, I’ll treat your furry family member like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I’d love to meet you and your pup! 🐾 Thanks for considering me!
About: I grew up caring for my family’s cats and dogs, and I currently have two cats of my own. I also spent six months at a dog boarding and training facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. During that time, I gained hands-on experience with everything from dogs who were learning how to walk on a leash for the first time to dogs who struggled with fear, reactivity, and aggression towards people or other dogs. I learned the importance of patience, consistency, trust, and meeting each dog where they are. I’m also the go-to pet sitter for friends and regularly provide in-home stay, caring for multiple pets at a time. Whether your pet needs a little extra patience, lots of playtime, or simply a calm and loving presence, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet behind. I’ll treat them like my own and do everything I can to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I work a flexible full-time hybrid job, which allows me to offer a wide range of availability throughout the week. I’m available for daytime visits, walks, and overnight stays, with weekend availability when scheduled in advance. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide consistent, attentive care. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll maintain their normal routine, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep their space clean and comfortable. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I give my own.
“Delmis was an amazing dog sitter in my home. She provided constant updates with pics and videos and truly cared about my pups. The house was perfectly clean upon our return as well. Highly recommended!”
“Jalen was wonderful, she spent some time with us prior to leaving. Paid great attention to our dog and sent pictures. The house was spotless, she was great. I look forward to using her again.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Danayt took wonderful care of my dog and house, and I would definitely hire her again! She sent lots of updates about how my dog was doing and was very professional and friendly. She even cleaned up the house before I returned. I highly recommend her!”
“Carlynn was literally the best dog sitter I have ever had. Not only did she make sure my pet was comfortable and well taken care of, she also made sure to leave my apartment in even BETTER condition that when we left! I would rebook her a million times over! Highly, highly recommended her!”
“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!!!!”

“Bonnie took excellent care of my cat Fish! It's clear she has lots of love and patience for cats. She was able to get Fish to warm up to her after a couples days and even got some snuggles towards the end of the sit, which says of a lot since Fish is pretty shy with new people. I came home to a very happy kitty and clean home. I wouldn't hesitate to reach out again the next time I need pet care.”

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
