“Jennifer was very attentive to all the instructions that were left and went above and beyond in monitoring my cat's litter and more. Great communication, friendly, and awesome with animals!”

“Sam takes excellent care of my dog. He is fearful of strangers and Sam was not intimidated. They navigated his initial prickliness and the two of them are now good friends. It gives me so much peace of mind to know he is in good hands while I’m away!”

“Claire took great care of our two cats while we were away! She provided really detailed report cards with photos each day. It was a relief knowing that our babies were well taken care of. We'll definitely see if Claire's available next time we head out of town!”
“Very much appreciated ! I booked Elaine very last minute and she took the time to still come over and meet me and my dog before I confirmed booking which was super nice. Gave me updates and comminicated well ! Thank you!”

“Sheila was communicative and responsive. She was able to make last minute schedule adjustments and did amazing with my dog- it didn’t take long for him to warm up to her and give her lots of love and kisses! I’d use her again and recommend her to others.”

About: Having a dog myself, I know how hard it is when you need to leave, so I treat that responsibility seriously! What sets me apart is the level of attention and presence I give to every dog. I don’t juggle a packed schedule or treat pet care as something to squeeze in. I’m genuinely attentive throughout the day and focused on each dog’s comfort, routine, and emotional well-being. I’m patient, observant, and quick to notice changes in behavior or needs. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions, caring for young puppies, and supporting them as they adjust to routines. My goal isn’t just to meet expectations, but to make both you and your dog feel completely at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I structure my day around making sure dogs get consistent attention, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’m home enough to be present and attentive, and I enjoy building my schedule around a dog’s needs and routine. Whether your dog is more energetic or more laid-back, I will make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never ignored. I live in a dog friendly apartment building with plenty of nearby parks and walking trails, which means lots of opportunities for walks, sniffing, and mental stimulation throughout the day. While I don’t have a private fenced yard, there is a large fenced dog park close by for safe, enclosed play and lots of fetch. I’m very mindful of each dog’s comfort level and tailor outdoor time to what helps them feel happiest. My goal is for you to leave knowing your dog is in caring, capable hands and to come back to a happy, relaxed pup.
“Felicia took great care of my two cats while my husband and I were away for several days. I received updates every day with photos and details on the visit. I have already rebooked! ☺️”

“Brooklyn did a great job taking care of my kitty when I had to go out of town on short notice. She was wonderful to work with, her attention to detail and communication skills are top notch. My shy cat quickly warmed up to her after a few visits. This shows that Brooklyn is great with animals, as my pet is very selective about who she trusts. I look forward to booking with Brooklyn again and I would highly recommend her to others looking for a pet sitter.”

“Nice introduction. Thank you for meeting beforehand and getting to know my pets. I appreciated the pictures. You are my first experience with Rover and I'm grateful to have found you.”

“Rachel did a great job taking care of our kitty. His visits and medicine were on time and we know Matrix was cared for. We hope to be able to book her again in the future.”

“Mandi was fantastic! She made sure my kitten got plenty of exercise and stayed active, and she was incredibly responsive throughout. I felt totally at ease knowing my pet was in such caring and capable hands.”


“Julia was gentle and slow in her approach with our senior kitty. She communicated after every visit. She managed the medication dosage plus the mixing to our kitty’s liking. 5 stars!”

“Ricky is very passionate and caring. One of the best sitters I’ve ever hired. He took a fantastic care of my cat while we were gone and communicated with me every time he visited. I highly recommend him. My cat was happy and well fed when we got home!”

“He was very communicative and even did extra things that I forgot to ask him to do in the midst of travel prep — e.g., taking out my garbage bins. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello! I'm Fran, a passionate dog lover and guardian with decades of experience in in-home doggie daycare. I care for your beloved dog while you're on holiday, providing them with a holiday of their own. I believe we don't 'own' our pets; we're their guardians, ensuring they're loved, safe, happy, and healthy. I've hosted dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Each dog has a unique story and personality, and I love getting to know them and watching them bloom as they explore their surroundings. I understand schedules vary and sometimes life presents surprises where we need to find someone to care for our beloved pup at the last minute. I work remotely with a flexible schedule. Let me help you when you need it most. Every day, I plan activities to engage their brains and exercise their bodies, often involving adventures through the neighborhood, trips to the fenced dog park, and visits to the river on hot days. At the end of the day, we enjoy healthy treats that I prepare myself, which also engage their brains and senses. I live in Vancouver, Washington, with my 8-year-old black lab mix, Murphy, who loves humans and other dogs and is non-aggressive. My home is well-maintained with a large deck where dogs can play and relax.I work from home which means your 'kids' are never left alone for long periods.
“We returned home after three nights away and Lotus looked at us with a “What are you doing here? Where’s Marcus?” Expression. Needless to say we were happy to see she was doing well, but she blew us off until it was time to feed her. Clearly she was well cared for. Thanks Marcus!”

Carter Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rebecca went above and beyond the take care of my kitties! My boy cat has FIC and I can get anxious leaving him. She was very reassuring. She gave him his meds and watched for any changes in the size of his litter box clumps. She is also extremely punctual and came at the same time each day since he can get stressed with routine changes. 10/10 recommend her. She will be my new go to pet sitter.

Sarah is absolutely AMAZING! She was so good with my senior cat Lynus, gave him extra special attention and even a kitty massage ! She was so kind to send me photos and a video of him during her visit. When I arrived home he was watching a nature show for kitties ! I would HIGHLY recommend Sarah to anyone needing a pet sitter!

Marcus has watched my cats many times over the years. His photos and synopses are delightful and he is reliable, consistent, and communicative as well. Most importantly he clearly loves animals and has a knack for winning over the most skittish and confrontational. I was surprised to see the first day photos with our very shy cat…he was rubbing his head on him and rolling around. That is pretty much unheard of! Highly highly recommend!!!!
