House Sitting in Bella Vista, Vancouver, WA

“Anthea was our first experience using Rover and we lucked out! She was attentive, respectful, reliable and kind. She kept us updated with photos and texts or emails several times a day, enough that we felt safe but never bothersome. Our house was spotless when we got home, you would have never known she was there except our sweet boy was so well taken care of. I got to see their goodbye and he rested his head on her shoulder for a nice calm embrace, showing how safe he felt with her (he can be timid when we aren’t around). It was a wonderful experience and I would recommend Anthea to anyone!”

“Larissa was very professional and kind with my new puppy. My puppy loved playing with her. Would surely be asking her to spend time with my puppy again”

“Kristy was so wonderful! I am so appreciative we found her & will definitely be booking her again. Our German Shepherd LOVED her. She was super responsive with her communications. And, the house looked great when we arrived home. I couldn't recommend her more.”

“Shelbie is a fantastic person. I volunteer with her at a cat shelter, and she goes above and beyond on our shift. She mostly works in the “med room” which is the room where cats who need extra TLC, or are recovering from an illness/fixing. She does an amazing job in there every week. I think of her as one of my best friends, she truly is a light to be around.”

“My dog Sammi is almost 15 years old and I'm wondering if she is acting like a teenager or an elderly girl because she likes to whine until she gets her way. Pat was our Sammi sitter and Pat let Sammi know her tricky whine wasn't going to fly. Pat was the most wonderful sitter and loved Sammi unconditionally. I'm excited that Pat will be staying with Sammi again when I take a 23-day vacation.”

“Katie is an amazing dog owner she has been walking my 3 year old lab dallas since he was a puppy. She has also stayed the night at my house when I've had to go out of town! Katie does an incredible job of taking care of my dog and making sure all of his needs are met and he is comfortable while I'm away!”

“Great dog sitter and sitter for our house. Took care of them and walked our dogs regularly. Was able to let us know of a painful eye and we were able to let them know how to address it. House was very tidy and clean when we returned. Will book again!”

“Jackie was so great with Runa! She had familiarity with reactive dogs and wasn’t overwhelmed with our training instructions. She provided us with updates and videos which we loved to see!”

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs all my life. Kittens, puppies, senior pets, you name it! I current have a senior cat and an adult dog (who I’ve raised as a puppy) so I’m very aware what responsibilities come with younger to senior pets. I’ve also looked after friends and neighbors cats and dogs while they’re away. Walking dogs are also my favorite thing to do! Weekends I’m available anytime. I’m also available majority of holidays. Overall I stay local since I have my own cat and dog to care for. I’m very aware of any new environment that I’m in. I believe that you should respect everyone’s space the way I would want to be treated. Understanding boundaries is also vital since everyone and their pet(s) are different. Making sure you and your pet feel safe makes me better at my job!

“Acoya took great care of my two dogs. I came home to 2 happy pups. She made sure to care for them based on my preference and their normal schedule. She respected my home and had great communication through the whole process (meet and greet, picking up the key, and the actual time spent caring for the dogs)”

“Steph went above and beyond to care for mayas needs. I was worried with Mayas separation anxiety but Stephanie has the ability to calm any dog. Excellent experience! Highly recommend. Steph is now my number 1 ?”

“Chad was great! Sent regular updates of Julep and took great care of the house! I swear it was cleaner when I got back! Really nice to leave town knowing that there is somebody great that can take care of Julep. Thanks so much Chad!”

“Kaylee did an amazing job watching my two dogs last month! This was the first time my dogs were left home alone for more than a day. Also one of mine is more aggressive, but he was so good with Kaylee. I heard of her pet sitting through a mutual friend and will always go with her when I go visit family out of town again!”

“My partner and I just went on a 6-day trip and had to find a rover last minute due to an unfortunate cancellation from our scheduled rover. We found Alexandra (who prefers to go by Sasha) two days before our vacation, and were able to schedule a meet and greet and book the vacation with her instantly. Sasha communicated with us night and day throughout the entire trip. She sent us pictures and videos, let us know if anything was even slightly off with our 2 dogs, and informed us if she was ever leaving them at the house alone and when she came back. Our two dogs have some behavior special needs, and Sasha completely respected these needs and made us feel like our dogs were safe, and that we could trust her completely. This trip was for housesitting in addition to pet sitting, and Sasha left our home in the exact same condition as we left it. She left everything clean and even reached out on how to use our mop as the dogs like to make our floors messy. Sasha is extremely friendly and amazing with our dogs, and there is literally no way we will ever book with anyone else besides her in the future!”

“Elaine was great. We knew from the time we did the meet and greet. Our dogs warmed up to her immediately, which they never have before. She played with them gave them their snuggle time and took great care. Videos and pictures of them every day to let us know how things were going. Great!”

“Corey is the best! He is wonderful with our nearly blind, senior dog, and our cats love him. We plan to hire him regularly when we go out of town.”

“I was so worried about leaving my dogs, cats, and home with a perfect stranger. Dee put me right at ease. I cannot say enough about the loving and attentive care she gave to our pack. One of my dogs had an abscess drained by our vet the week before we had to go out of town. Dee didn't miss a beat, she reassured me she would take care of the medications and cleaning, and she followed through with a beautiful job. She cared about the safety and mental health of each of our animals, being sure she knew they personalities and individual needs. One dog need to play fetch, you got it, several fetch sessions daily. The other dog needs a daily walk, you got it, fun and safe walks with plenty of sniffs along the way. Kitties that need a daily chin rub, and safe quiet spaces, you got it! She was respectful of our home and a wonderful caretaker for our pack. I highly recommend Dee and plan to ask her to come care for our pack again in the future.”

“Deidra is amazing!! She helped us last minute when my cat had surgery and needed medicine and a sitter. She is so sweet and we will definitely be re booking!!!”

“Tony was perfect. He communicated well and kept us from worrying about our dog or home at all while we were out of town. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. He even washed our sheets which was super appreciated since we didn’t get home until 1:00am. I would work with Tony again in a heartbeat.”

“Alice did an amazing job house sitting and carrying for our 4 pets and plants for 3 weeks. She followed all the instructions and left the house clean and tidy. Great communicator - she's a wonderful caretaker. Highly recommended!”
