“Lexi is wonderful with my pups! I’ve used her before and have been consistently pleased. My dogs love her, even my shy, avoidant little girl pup. Lexi is friendly, thoughtful, considerate, and very easy to work with. She is thorough and asks questions/makes suggestions about things I wish I had thought of!”
“Natalie did a fabulous job caring for our two big dogs while we were out of town. Her communication is awesome, she asks great questions, keeps us informed and updated on our boys, and left the house clean. We felt comfortable knowing she was there and will put her at the top of the list for rebooking the next time we travel. Our pups were happy and content. Thank you Natalie!”
“Toni was great! She was very flexible with times, and my dog was very calm and relaxed when I returned home. She kept me updated on how things were going and is very nice!”
“Jan was a fantastic pet sitter and we could not be more thrilled with the experience. Our house was left clean, and our cats were well cared for. She was a great communicator, flexible when our travel home times changed a bit and had such a pleasant manner about her. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Emma did an absolutely fabulous job taking care of all our animals. She is kind, caring and a professional. It was our first time using rover and she made it so easy and sent us pictures of our pets who always looked happy!”
“I recently left my pup with Tera while I were away, and it was hands-down the best decision I could have made. From our first meet-and-greet, Tera was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs—she asked thoughtful questions about routines, favorite toys, and any quirks right away. She sent daily photo and video updates (which included some hilarious playtime moments and cozy nap shots), so Inever had to wonder if our dog was happy and safe. Our pup came home relaxed, well-exercised, and clearly adored Tera’s! Tera followed every instruction to the letter, kept the house spotless, and even went the extra mile with cleaning up the house. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely loving toward animals, Tera is the one. Thank you, Tera!!! 💖💖🐩🐩”
“Awesome! Anna was on time so I could make it to my early morning meeting! She walked the dogs and had fun adventures. By the time I was home from my in person call, the dogs were pooped and they had expended their energy having fun and enjoying their day with Anna. I will definitely be booking her again.”
“Tonya is friendly, smart, conscientious, and a good communicator — absolutely perfect! We felt comfortable leaving our two fur babies in her care, and having her stay at our home. We’re relieved to have met her and we’re already booking again!”
“Alison B was absolutely awesome. She took such great care of my 2 dogs and house and plants! We were able to enjoy our vacation worry free. We had family visiting and left in a bit of a rush for our trip. We came home to a house cleaner than how we left it! Our dogs were greatly loved and she sent many updates and pictures. We highly recommend Alison B for house and dog sitting, you will be very pleased!”
“Crystal was fantastic with our Tuco and he was so happy in his update pictures. This was our first time leaving him in the care of someone else and Crystal was perfect. We can tell Tuco already misses his friends and we will absolutely book Crystal again!”
“Nellie is amazing! She kept us updated and sent us photos so we knew our corgi, Mango, was being well cared for. Mango was so comfortable with Nellie from the start and was so excited to see her. We will definitely be using Nellie again!”
“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.”
“Morgan was great with our two dogs! One of our dogs is very anxious around new people and loved her just about immediately. They’re currently fast asleep after a fun weekend with Morgan. Thank you for taking such great care of our dogs and sending us photos throughout their stay!”
“Holly was fantastic with our animals (2 cats, a dog, and a pond)! While we were away on our 8 day trip she sent us some photos, which helped us know they were in good hands. And when we came back, they were only slightly perturbed at our absence, which is to be expected. Would totally have her watch our animals and house again!”

About: Growing up with pets and then raising my own dog; I love to go on walks, train, play with toys & just making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and exhausted after! I’m currently available throughout the day with the odd ball appointments so I have a lot of time and attention to spend with your pets! In the clients home I’d care for pets just as my own: clean up after myself and the animals, make sure they’re comfortable, and locking the doors on my way out!
About: Hi, I’m Nick. I have professionally worked with dogs for 7 years. My background includes; working for various dog daycares, providing dog training with companies and privately, dog walking, dog sitting and pet nutrition. I look forward to the opportunity of meeting you and your pup and providing a fun time for your furry friend. I’m currently working a full time job. I will only be available on my days off which currently are Saturday and Sunday. I am also available Fridays after 5 pm I absolutely love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I will always strive to be the best for each of their individual needs. I have a lot of energy and can keep up with young dogs. But I also have a dog who can be a bit timid at times so I will always take my time and make sure your fur baby is comfortable. Every dog is different and I will always change what I need to, to accommodate their personality and comfort zones. (Little side note) because of my experience in dog behavior management if it is something that would interest you, I would love introduce my dog to your pup and let them get some of they’re crazy energies out. Feel free to let me know if this is something of interest. I will only introduce them if pre-approved by owner

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Lake Stevens
We’ve booked Holly to watch our two large, high-energy doodles at our house for three different trips this year, and we highly recommend her! She always takes great care of our pups and she is an excellent communicator. So glad we found her and will definitely continue to book her for house sitting in the future!
Lexi has been wonderful! She has stayed in our home twice without any issues and took great care of our girl. She is always prompt, communicates well, asks questions when needed, and sends daily pictures and updates. We especially appreciated her administering eye drops to our Frenchie with care and attention. We feel completely comfortable leaving our home and pup in Lexi’s care and highly recommend her!
Arielle is honestly one of the best dog sitters I have ever had. If I can give a million starts I honestly would! Communication 10/10 Photos with pups 10/10 On time 10/10 Just everything 10/10. I had a trip with limited service through Yellowstone and I didn’t worry once if everything was okay. She is truly amazing and 100% book her again.
Nellie was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of our little munchkins! She had great attention to detail with our little ones. Specifically, one of our puppies has a history of seizures and requires medication multiple times a day. Nellie also sent pictures and updates on how they were all doing which was comforting given it was one of our longest trips away from home.
Alison and Cassidy were beyond amazing and the best sitters I’ve used from Rover yet. You can tell Alison truly cares so much about what she does and I never felt anxiety during my trip away from my babies. She not only took great care of my fur babies, but I came back to my garden so alive and beautiful. Our home was cleaner than we had left it and we are just so impressed with everything Alison did for us while we were away. We hope we can book her again for all our future trips!
Our second time with Alona and it won’t be our last. She is the best. Takes care of our home and our boys and we are able to have that weight off our shoulders while enjoying family vacations. She celebrated one of our boys birthdays and sent us updates around the clock. We came home to a tidy house and happy tired pups. Can’t ask for anything better!!
We are first time cat owners. Our guy is just 10 months old, and this trip to help deal with some elderly parent issues in Florida was the first time we’ve traveled since getting our cat. We were very nervous. Luckily, we found Camille and she was available. We could not be happier. Excellent communication, lots of pics and videos of our guy, and she went above and beyond for us many times throughout the week. By the end of the first day, we knew Ulrich was in excellent hands and we’d made the right choice. I want to tell you that Camille is awesome, we are thrilled with her performance as a sitter, and that we think our cat now officially has an aunt, but I also kind of want to keep quiet about it, because I don’t want her to be booked solid the next time we need her. :P And there will be a next time. She’s fantastic. Hire her.
I think we were Grace's first customer on Rover and she did a great job housesitting and taking care of our boys. She sent updates and photos each day and was very good about communicating with us if she had to leave the house. We will be using her again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - West Lake Stevens
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Lake Stevens on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 6,210 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Lake Stevens. 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 West Lake Stevens 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 West Lake Stevens 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 West Lake Stevens 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.

- 94% 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.
