âI had Laurin watch my house and my dog for five days while I was out of town. My dog needs a lot of attention and I don't have a fenced in yard and I could tell when I came home that he had been well taken care of! Laurin was sweet, very communicative, and overall extremely trustworthy. I'm sure I will hit up again soon!â

âAaliyah stayed with our dachshund boy for a week and we had an outstanding experience with her. She sent us pic's daily, excellent communication, and when we returned our home was immaculate and our boy happy! The next time we have to leave him we will, hands down, try to book with Aaliyah!â


âCalliope did such an amazing job doing 2 nights watching my dog. He can be timid and requires a bit of special attention. She didnât shy away from the challenge and got him to warm up to her! I was really nervous but she was such an awesome communicator and great with dogs. I would highly recommend her, and I really hope sheâs available the next time I need a sitter! <3â

âAnita is absolutely amazing, and was so good with my dog during my time away. Anita is kind, gentle and knowledgeable and always kept me updated with pictures. I had zero worries while I was away knowing my dog was in great hands! I have already told my friends about Anita and would 100% recommend her!â

âChloe did a great job with our small herd of dogs. I could tell from the pictures she sent that our dogs enjoyed her company as well. She even brought her dog over for a hang session. Which is great!â

âđž Five Stars is Not Enough for Cheryl! đđđđđ We recently hired Cheri. to look after our dog and home while we were away for three days. Our experience exceeded every expectation we had. Leaving our pet, home and belongings in someone else's care can be stressful, but Cheri immediately put us at ease with her warm demeanor. From our initial meeting, Cheri demonstrated a high level of responsibility. She diligently took notes on our petâs specific needs, and our home, including mail handling, trash day, and instructions for our lawn care maintenance service. Hereâs why we highly recommend Cheryl: ⢠Exceptional Home Care: We returned to a house that was not only immaculate but actually tidier than when we left! She maintained the premises perfectly. We noticed she went the extra mile by folding the laundry in the dryer that was still running when we left. She took the trash bins to the curb and returned them after pick up. ⢠Wonderful Pet Care: Our aging dog was clearly well-loved and happy. Cheri provided regular updates and photos of him, and followed his feeding and medication schedule flawlessly. We could tell she formed a genuine bond with Tucker. ⢠Communication & Reliability: Cheri was a fantastic communicatorâresponsive, proactive, and timely. She kept us informed without needing constant prompting, and handled a delivery that arrived unexpectedly perfectly. ⢠Respectful and Trustworthy: We felt completely comfortable knowing Cheryl was in our home. She treated our property with the utmost respect and followed all our guidelines to the letter. Returning home was genuinely stress-free because everything was exactly as we had left it. If you are looking for a house sitter who is reliable, responsible, and genuinely cares, look no further than Cheryl S. She is the gold standard of house and pet sitting! We will definitely book with her again!â

Bigelow Highlands pet parents share their Rover experiences
Johanna was a MARVELOUS sitter! We had just lost one of our kitties to cancer a few days before a long trip. She was incredibly communicative and detailed in her updates to us, with plenty of pictures. She followed our detailed routines to the letter and was just an overall extremely reassuring presence with our babies. I can't say enough about how much we appreciated her.

Alison did a great job of watching our two dogs when we were gone for 10 days. She rearranged her schedule to help us on short notice, which we were ever so grateful. She kept us well-informed and sent us pictures throughout. She responded quickly to any questions we had. She also did a wonderful job of cleaning the house before we came home. I would highly recommend Alison.
Before moving to OIympia in late 2024, we had the same pet sitter / house sitter for at least 20 years. Being in here now, we've wondered who could care for Charlee as well as the old one. And then, we found Madeline! Charlee loved her the moment she walked in for a meet and greet. Now she's spoiled rotten and keeps asking when the amazing, kind, sweet, thoughtful, capable Maddie will come back! (We've already booked her.)

Leeann took wonderful care of our home and animals for 8 days while we were in Belize. She was incredibly communicative, kind, and responsible, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She treated our pets with genuine care and attention, and it was clear they were happy and well looked after. She also left our home spotless. Everything was tidy, clean, and exactly how we left it. We couldnât have asked for a better petsitter and would absolutely trust Leeann again and recommend her without hesitation!
