“Azul did a great job checking in on Jasper while I was away! She made sure his automatic feeder and litter box were working and kept me updated after each visit. I also really appreciated that she came by beforehand so I could show her everything and go over Jasper’s routine. She was easy to communicate with, reliable, and I felt comfortable knowing Jasper was being taken care of while I was gone. I would definitely book with Azul again!”

“August did an incredible job with our 2 kitties. Her communication was thorough and she was on top of everything. She sent lots of great photos which was awesome for pet parents with separation anxiety. We will definitely book August again and highly recommend her for pet sitting. Thanks so much August, the boys will miss you! 🩵”

About: Having used Rover myself whenever I travel, I know how much of a relief it is to find someone you trust wholly with your home and your pets! I grew up in a house full of animals (dogs, cats, and critters of all kinds!) and today I share my home with two sweet cats, Disco and Moe. Because Disco needs medication three times a day, I am used to keeping a close eye on routines, precise timing, and special care details. I also do exceptionally well with anxious or shy pets. I take the time to learn their trust, pay close attention to their cues, and always respect their boundaries so they feel safe at their own pace. Whether I am popping in for a mid-day walk, stopping by for drop-ins, or staying over for house sitting, I treat your pets with the exact same love, warmth, and attention to detail I want for my own. And get ready for plenty of photo updates! As a fellow pet parent, I know there is no such thing as too many pictures while you are away!!! Since moving to Seattle, I have a very flexible daily schedule, which makes it easy for me to give your pets my full attention! Whether you need a mid-day neighborhood walk, a last-minute drop-in visit, or dedicated house sitting, my open schedule means I am readily available to fit your pet's routine seamlessly. I take safety and comfort very seriously, treating your home and pets with the same care I give my own two cats. On dog walks, I stay fully focused on safety, leash control, and surroundings. During visits, I focus on building trust at your pet's pace, keeping routines consistent, adhering strictly to feeding schedules, and keeping your space tidy. When it comes to cats, I know how different their personalities can be! I will be attentive to their body language and respect their boundaries as desired. But love a good snuggle, play, or pets session with those who are interested!
“Krista was a fantastic pet sitter - very responsive and went far and beyond. Our kitty loved her and it was so lovely leaving town knowing that our kitty was well taken care of!”

“Paula took excellent care of our four cats while we were away for 10 days. She was diligent about making sure our older kitty got his meds, and she left the place spotless!!”

About: I have been trusted with friends and families fur babies for almost 8 years, and had many years living with dogs as well. I have experience giving medication, caring for dogs in times of stress and anxiety, and of course going on daily walks. I have stayed overnight with dogs whose parents are out of town and I have experience with bigger dogs, as well as smaller breeds. I have also cared for a wide array of personalities as all dogs are very different, I enjoy learning about each dog I meet and how to have a good time with them. I work part time and have plenty of mornings available for pet care, I only work late nights once or twice a week and am almost always available after 8/9pm if needed. I am often going on a walk daily and bringing a dog along with me is even better! I am always making sure to cater to a dogs wants and needs, whether that be outside time running laps and playing fetch, or having down time inside and just hanging out. I understand that each dogs needs are different and being able to provide them with a fulfilling day is something I love!
“Kristen was excellent as always. She is so caring and communicative. She took the initiative to find activities for our dog during her check ins. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been taking care of other animals since I was a teenager and at this point I am the designated pet watcher among my friends and family! I don’t own any pets so I plan to pour all my love for animals onto any sweet pup I get the chance to walk. I work restaurant hours so I am free from the early morning to the mid afternoon Monday-Friday. Perfect for anyone stuck at work all day during their 9-5 work week. For any pups that need a play date at my home I do have a decently sized fenced-in grass backyard. Which includes very friendly, dog loving neighbors!
“Marcia was very friendly and great with our kitten. We were nervous to leave her alone for the first time, but Marcia sent lots of pictures and took a lot of our worry away. Will definitely be contacting her again in the future :)”

“Brittany did such a great job with my dog! She updated me with photos, details of the visit/walk, and tracked the walks on rovers map. I could tell she has a genuine love for animals and I trust her to care for my home and dog when away.”

“Ingrid is the best!! She goes above and beyond every visit. She takes so may great pictures, gives detailed descriptions of behavior, is super communicative, and I can tell how happy my cats are to have her around! I could not reccommend her more strongly. Thanks Ingrid!!!”

“Justin was professional and very communicative. He was nice enough to come meet our dogs a few days prior so that our shy dog might be more comfortable. I definitely recommend his services!”

“Leaving our pets for the first time with someone who was not immediate family was not easy but Chandler made our very first Rover experience the absolute best-case scenario. I was extremely skeptical of using the platform at first and only booked out of necessity, but we hit the total jackpot with her. Chandler is incredibly kind, thoughtful, detail-oriented, and an extraordinary communicator. During every single visit, she sent photos of each of our pets alongside a thorough check-in update. She took care of our 2 cats and senior pup like they were her own. Feeding them, loving them, and cleaning up after them. She answered every question I had almost instantly, which put this super anxious pet mom completely at ease while we were away. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I will be hiring Chandler over and over again, and I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for top-tier care for their fur babies!”

“Raymond was great with our big loving German shepherd. He gave detailed updates and pics with every visit. He also was able to work with our dogs fear reactivity on leash. I would highly recommend him!”
“Ale was the best and so communicative! I felt so secure knowing she was watching Sherlock (plus she's a miniature dachshund owner herself). She went above and beyond and I'd be more than happy to have her watch Sherlock again!”

“Deanna helped with a last minute booking and I so appreciated her help! She came over to meet my dog beforehand and was super sweet with him. She sent great pics and an update from the visit which made feel better about leaving my little guy at home!”

My husband and I just moved to Seattle and needed a last minute dog sitter. We’re so glad we found Bryant! He went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and well taken care of while we were gone. Our dog can be a little nervous around new people, but Bryant was so patient with her and immediately put us at ease. He was great about communicating, kept us updated, and sent us the cutest photos along the way. We never had to worry about how she was doing, which meant so much to us. When we got home, she was happy, relaxed, and in the best mood! We’re incredibly grateful to Bryant for taking such great care of her and will absolutely be reaching out to him again. Couldn’t recommend him more!

Mariana is outstanding! (: This is my second time booking Mariana to care for my kitty cat Poppy. I adore all the photos she sends while we are away, and I feel at peace knowing Poppy is in such good hands! Mariana was also kind enough to bring in a package for us, which I appreciated a ton. Will definitely be booking with her again, 1000/10!

Jill & Max were amazing with my kitty Mikey! I had to be out of town last minute and they were so accommodating. I'm truly grateful for the love and care they gave my little boy 😊 I got daily updates and pictures and videos. When I got home I could tell that he'd been well looked after. Thank guys!
