“Nadiia was a huge lifesaver when I had to travel in short notice during the holidays. I was so worried I wouldn’t be able to find care for my cat but Nadiia was responsive and extremely meticulous in her drop in visits. I appreciated her detailed communication and daily updates which made me feel much better while I was away. I highly recommend her for cat care!”

“Kevin did a wonderful job taking care of our princess Libby while we were away for three days. He spent a full 30 minutes with her during each visit, was very responsive, and sent us plenty of pictures so we could see how happy she was. When he realized his schedule would make him late one day, he took the initiative to stop by quickly to check in on Libby, then returned later for her full 30-minute visit—such a thoughtful gesture. We came home to a very happy and healthy pup. Kevin’s partner, Kandice, is also lovely, and together they make a great support team. We felt completely at ease knowing Libby was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking with Kevin again!”


“Kelly is just wonderful with our two dogs. She is very thoughtful, sends updates and is very responsive. Wr trust her with our doggos and our home and love that she lives in the neighborhood.”

“Sydney took such great care of our senior cat during our honeymoon. She sent tons of pictures, was very reliable and communicative. We will definitely use her again for future pet sitting needs!”


About: Although I've been a cat person all my life, I've also always loved dogs. Recently my family members have been adopting dogs into their various collections of pets, including a Manchester terrier who has decided I'm his second favorite person (besides my mom, and I can't blame him there!). I've absolutely loved the opportunity to care for him when my parents travel a few times a year, and will absolutely bring that same level of enthusiasm to caring for your pup! I'm primarily self employed, as well as doing gig work, so I have a lot of flexibility to give your pet the care they need on a schedule that works for you! I'm most often available on weekdays, as the gigs I do usually fall on weekends. I'm very interested in learning your pet's personality, and taking the time needed to get them comfortable with me. I'm particularly good at "cat language", but am dedicated to learning "dog language" as well. I'd also love to hear from you about your pet's likes, dislikes, preferences, and anything else I should know to give them the best experience possible!
“Ginny was so wonderful! They were patient and kind with our shy cats. They spent plenty of time making sure our little ones were eating and getting some love. Communication was also quick and friendly!”

“Deanna is a great sitter! She was very easy to work with, flexing work my schedule, and so kind to my pet. She took great care of my pet and communicated with me while I was gone. Will rebook again!”

“This was our first time leaving our cats and using Rover. Libby made the whole experience easy! She gave us great updates and took excellent care of our cats. We were nervous to be away from them but Libby quickly put our worries to rest. We will definitely be using Libby’s services again in the future!”


“There's a reason we continue to book Grace. Our pup clearly has a blast with her and she really takes the time to make sure he gets some exercise and work on training with him!”

About: Dedicated dog lover - whether your furry companion is a playful youngster or a distinguished senior, they'll receive my full care and attention during their stay. Currently, we have no dogs, so your pup will receive plenty of one-on-one time. Our home provides a warm, comfortable environment where your dog can relax and feel safe while you're away. All guests must be potty trained. I look forward to meeting your canine companion and making their stay a tail-wagging experience they'll love! I work part-time from home, and will be available for dog walks, belly rubs and backyard excursions throughout the day. My flexible schedule ensures your pup will get plenty of exercise, affection, and outdoor time while in my care. I have a fenced yard, love taking walks with dogs - whether that's one longer walk or multiple shorter walks, whatever it is they need.

About: Been around animals my whole life, love cats and dogs, i work a flexible schedule so I'm open to last minute requests and changes as needed. I am very responsible and responsive, so even though I am new to Rover, you, your pet, and your home are in good hands <3 I work remote freelance, so my schedule is completely flexible and open when I am in town! Last minute from same day to same week is easy for me :) I am flexible to provide any care you specify and adapt to your needs! I am great at following instructions and always play on the safe side so your pet takes priority!
“Sara took great care of my senior dog! At the meet and greet, they showed that they are knowledgeable about the needs of senior dachshunds and made me feel good about trusting them with my baby. They went above and beyond and were very flexible with my changing schedule. I will definitely be a repeat client.”

“Rachael was amazing! She dropped by every day while I was on vacation to feed and play with my dogs, Pickles and Tater Tot. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and I could tell my pups were happy and well cared for. It gave me total peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend Rachael—she’s reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals!”


“Racheal took excellent care of my cat while I was away for work. She gave him at the pets and playtime a social feline needs. She provided photos and updates and worked with my desired drop-in times. She was a breeze to work with and really eased my worries. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for quality pet-sitting services.”


“Lauren was the best sitter I have ever had here on Rover. She was always quick to respond with any questions or concerns. She also took the time to really learn about the automatic feeders that use for our cats. She really made it easy for me to relax on vacation instead of worrying. My husband and I came home to a clean home and happy kitties.”

“Jordan was absolutely amazing with our kitties, kept us updated and informed the whole time and went above and beyond with advice on cat care. Would definitely recommend.”

About: From cats to dogs and anything in between— I would love to take care of your pet! I’ve been around animals my entire life. Currently, I’m an animal foster parent and I’m looking to watch some extra furry friends when I don’t have a foster in my care! I have experience with puppies and kittens, elderly pets, and medical cases. No matter the challenge, I’m willing to meet it and see your animal first and foremost as a member of your family! I look forward to meeting and caring for your furry friends! I’m currently working a full time job on a hybrid schedule. I work from home Tuesdays and Fridays which allows me ample time for flexible pet care. My weekends are typically free and I’m happy to sit and care for plenty of furry friends I’m an outdoorsy individual and I typically walk 2-3 miles a day on my own. I’m willing and able to let dogs sniff to their hearts content! For feline friends, I’m adept at reading body language and cues. I will meet them where they’re at whether that means playtime, snuggle time, or quiet time.

“Nicole was fantastic for our dog. She was responsive, timely, friendly, and clearly experienced with working with reactive dogs like ours. Nicole did a meet-and-greet so our dog could get to know her before our first time working with Nicole.”

About: I have cared for animals all of my life. Friends and family rely on me to walk and care for their animals when they can’t be there, both in my home and theirs. My hours are set for days and times that I am home and able to be with your pet. I will follow whatever routine you prefer. For overnight stays, I am able to provide frequent potty breaks on the weekends and Tuesdays, which is my work from home day. The rest of the week I commute to Seattle and I’m gone for 8-9 hours a day. I also have a teenager that is with me every other week, so if you’re looking for someone to stay in your home, it’s possible my child would also be present. Thanks for your consideration! I have a fenced in yard and lots of places to walk around the neighborhood. If caring for your pet in your own home, we can stick to whatever routine you lay out. I do work an on-site job 4-days/ week so I’m away during the most weekdays.

Madeline was an absolute delight! She absolutely spoiled Hallie and Annie with love and attention. And we felt equally as spoiled with her thorough write-ups, photos and videos. Madeline even left us with watercolor portraits of Hallie and Annie that I will forever cherish and plan to frame! Madeline is a gem - I would love to work with her again in the future because it’s clear she truly cares for our fur babies like they’re her own. Thank you, Madeline!

Madison was wonderful with our puppy, Sunny! You can tell she genuinely cares. Communication was great, and we loved all the photos and updates she sent. She made us feel completely at ease, and Sunny was happy and well cared for. We’d absolutely book with her again!

We can’t thank Melissa enough for taking care of our house while we were away. Our kitty Woody had everything he needed including the voice of Melissa reading to him aloud. My plants were watered, mail collected and everything else that you would want to happen while away. Bravo Melissa. Job well done.
