“Brenda took wonderful care of our dog, Zelda, during our 4 day trip. Zelda can be a finicky eater and also chews up paper, so leaving her with a caring and attentive Rover really helps us be able to travel with ease. Zelda did great under Brenda's care, and came home happy and healthy. I definitely recommend booking with Brenda and will rebook in the future! Thank you so much!”
“Kevin and Kandice were great. Our dog unexpectedly ended up in a cone with some additional medications and a toy ban the week before his stay and they took it in stride! Skippy had a great time with lots of walks, cuddles, and sniffing adventures despite his new limitations. They were flexible and communicated well with lots of pictures. Will book again!”
“My 2 year old Springer Spaniel Boxer mix, Edie, had a wonderful time with Jana and her family! When I normally leave Edie at her doggy daycare to travel, she barely eats and seems anxious when I come to pick her up. Not the case this time! Edie ate all the food I had packed for her along with all the treats! She loved running around and puppy style wrestling with Hazel! Jana gave me updates twice a day with pictures and videos of the ladies playing. I truly do believe that Edie had a dog vacay with Hazel and Jana!”
“Erin and Kevin are wonderful. Very organized and detailed oriented. We got great pics each day, and felt confident our dog was in excellent hands. Highly recommend.”
“Theresa Ann took such good care of our pup and was very communicative with updates and photos while we were away. Lucy came home with the biggest smile on her face, and she can’t wait to hang out with Theresa Ann again!”
“Devan was great! Checked in with us regularly to let us know how Blaze was doing and settling in. I could tell that Blaze was well cared for and had a great time with Devan and his partner! Will definitely use him again!”
“Tomas was great with Sally. Very communicative and always let me what was going on, and sent the sweetest pictures. Sally also got along really well with his pup, and they became fast friends. I will definitely book overnight stays and daycare again!”
“Mimi has been and excellent sitter. she really cares that our dog is happy and adjusted to her home She stays in frequent contact with charming photos and notes. and when my flight was delayed, Mimi was so gracious about keeping the dog longer”
“They were so good to our dogs and gave us so many updates. They were also super communicative which was really appreciated. If the timings work out again we would trust our dogs with them in a heartbeat.”
“Brantley was fantastic! I was a little nervous leaving my dog as we just moved to Seattle. He kept me updated through the weekend and sent plenty of pictures. We really appreciated it!”
“I cannot recommend Rachael highly enough! It's clear she has a genuine love for dogs. She took the time to get to know my dog, Bruno, and made sure to follow my routines and preferences for care. Rachael provided plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles, all while ensuring Bruno felt comfortable and happy. I returned to a happy, well-cared-for dog. If you're looking for a trustworthy, caring, and fun dog sitter, look no further! I’m so grateful for her services and will definitely be using her again in the future!"”
“Another great stay for our pup Zola :) Michelle and Scott treat Zola just like their own and are super patient with her reactivity which we appreciate! Lots of great pics and updates as always. Zola can’t wait for her next vacation. Thank you again!”
“Dani and Joy were lovely to work with and they really looked after our dog. They had another little dog staying with them too and were so thoughtful about introducing them to one another and went to great lengths to make sure our dog (and we) would be comfortable with the arrangements. They sent pictures and kept us updates regularly which I always appreciate. They clearly love looking after dogs! I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.”
“Michael was an amazing sitter for my dog and communicator for me!! We had a last minute schedule change and were traveling to Seattle unexpectedly. Michael was so helpful and accommodating to make this work with less notice than usual! He was prompt and communicative sending me pictures of Sox updates along the way. His dog Ellie was very chill and seemed to get along with Sox great. I definitely would (and will!) work with Michael again!”
“Megan was fantastic with Finn! Truly went above and beyond with giving his medications, cleaning his ears since they were itchy, and take him on fun adventures. He had so much fun and felt right at home :) thank you Megan!!”
“Michaela was so great! She sent many photos of her walks with Nova during her stay. Nova can be a hard puller on the leash but Michaela made sure that she still got her daily walks in. Nova was calm and happy when I got her back so I know she enjoyed her stay! Thank you, Michaela!”
“Gregg took the best care of Misha! So many pictures and videos of her having the best time. He truly spoiled her and made me feel so at ease knowing my little fluff was being loved and adored. I’m looking forward to having him watch her again soon.”
Alki dog parents share their Rover experiences
We were visiting Seattle from out of town and needed someone to care for our dog, Daisy, while we were on an Alaska cruise. We couldn’t have been happier with the care she received. From the beginning, communication was excellent, and we felt completely comfortable leaving Daisy in his care. He was attentive, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. We received updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. When we picked Daisy up, she was happy, healthy, and well cared for. Finding someone you can trust with your pet is priceless, especially when you’re traveling far from home. We highly recommend him and would not hesitate to book with him again if we’re ever back in the area. Thank you for taking such great care of Daisy!
We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for Rogue while we were away for the weekend. Lorrie and Andrew took such great care of her and made the entire experience completely stress-free for us. They kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated, and it was clear from every update that Rogue was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. As dog parents, it means so much to know your pup is being cared for by people who genuinely love animals. When we picked Rogue up, she was her happy self and looked like she had a great time. It was obvious she was well cared for and felt right at home with them. Lorrie and Andrew are kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with, and we would absolutely trust them with Rogue again in the future. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and dependable sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of our girl!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kevin and his partner, Kandice. Our French Bulldog, Bobo, is our child, and this was the first time we had left him since he suffered an IVDD flare earlier this year. Needless to say, we were incredibly nervous. Because of his recent health issues, he has a number of restrictions and special considerations to help prevent another IVDD flare, and Kevin and Kandice were so attentive and conscientious about following all of his care instructions. They immediately put us at ease and kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. Most importantly, it was obvious that Bobo wasn’t just being watched—he was genuinely cared for and loved. When we picked him up, he was happy, comfortable, and clearly had been very well cared for. As pet parents, that’s all you can hope for when leaving your dog with someone else. Kevin and Kandice are trustworthy, compassionate, and truly exceptional. We are so grateful for the care they provided and will absolutely be using them again. In fact, if they’ll have us, we’d love for them to be our permanent dog sitters. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of our boy. We couldn’t recommend you more highly. ❤️🐾
