“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!”
“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.”
“Nellie is the absolute best! She always kept us updated on our pup (Mango) status and made her feel so special and even got her to go on walks beyond her comfort zone! And even though we were only gone 1 week, when we got home Mango was now missing Nellie! Nellie was like having one of our family watch our dog and we will definitely use her again whenever Mango needs a sitter.”
“Alison and her daughter did an amazing job. They cared for dogs as if they were there own. They went above and beyond by cleaning our bedding and being flexible when our flights were delayed. We asked her to stay another night and she didn't hesitate when she said yes. We couldn't have made it without her. Her daughter was great with our dogs and she seems to be very pet educated. We will definitely be asking for their help in the future. Thank you Alison!”
“Toni is always great with my doggies. I always appreciate the pics she sends, the love she gives them, the walks, and her commitment and communication. She is trustworthy , timely and follows my list of requirements/requests with my fur babies.”
“Tonya took excellent care of our two elderly dogs. I think they barely missed us when we were gone because they got all of the pets and cuddles they could ask for. She took excellent care of the house and handled our excessive amount of deliveries with care. She kept us regularly updated with status updates and photos. Highly recommend.”
“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!”
“Morgan stayed with our doggo while we were out of town for a holiday. Our pup was well loved and she shared daily photos of their fun together. She also took care of his daily medications. If your dog loves belly scratches and plenty of love, then Morgan is a good fit for you!”
“Jann was awesome! She took great care of my fur babies. I am a very nervous pet mom and she made me and the pups feel comfortable. The animals and my home were well cared for. I will absolutely request her services again.”
“Aeries did really good watching over my dog and 2 cats. I will definitely be bringing her back next time I leave. She was very attentive and gave me updates (pictures) daily. 💚 Really great service!”
“Emily was a wonderful house sitter. She was very communicative and tidy. Came home to a clean house and a happy pup❤️ Very responsible and the photos of my boy always make me feel good. Would definitely recommend Emily for any of your pet sit needs.”
“Arielle was phenomenal. My dog was well taken care of and she sent me lots of photos and videos. She was so thoughtful and pleasant, and I would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“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!!! 💖💖🐩🐩”
“Sherri is an amazing sitter. Our dogs clearly love her and her updates throughout our stay help us to feel comfortable that all is well at home while we travel. Sherri’s care for our home and pets is top notch and we highly recommend her. Thank you for another great visit!!”
About: I currently have two client dogs and I am open to sitting 2-3 more. I come from a family of professional dog trainers. Feel free to reach out! Very well. I can feed often, let them out frequently, do leash walks and play with your dogs. I am an online college student with high moral values so I have a lot of time to tend. I am very reliable. Non smoker or drinker. Feed them, water them, leash walks, and cuddle/ play with them. Administer medications if needed. For my pups we frequently get new toys and go on hikes as well.
“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!”

Working with Anna on a plan to help provide kitty sitting in our home for a few days was a pleasure. Her approach & focus on the pets first while also being attentive to how our home works was a relief! She made it very comfortable & easy to trust her with our home & pets. We would definitely recommend her services & will book with her again.
Crystal took amazing care of my newly adopted dog, Ziggy, and my two cats while I was away. She did such a great job with them, and it was obvious they all loved her. I also really appreciated that when I got delayed getting back into town because of traffic, she came back out again to make sure Ziggy got dinner and could get out since I was going to be home pretty late. That meant a lot and was truly above and beyond. She’s awesome, super dependable, and I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
We LOVE Alona but more importantly so did our dogs. She took excellent care of them and our home while we were done. Our pair includes an energetic pup and a senior dog with meds and feeding requirements. She kept us up to speed with frequent updates. 100000/10 will rebook her again! We’re so thankful for her and making us feel at ease for our whole trip.
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 July 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 July 2026, there are 6,295 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.

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.
