“As always, Valeriya was very professional, always doing her best to exceed expectations and provided fantastic updates/pictures! Wally absolutely adores you, thank you again for taking such good care :)”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 25 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve done everything from house sitting for friends and neighbors to volunteering with foster homes and rescue centers, and I’ve even worked with veterinary offices, helping with check-ups and sharing pet care knowledge with my community. I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone new. My goal is simple: to give your animal the same love, attention, and care I’d want for my own. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! I’m pursuing continuing education in the medical field and love that Rover lets me earn flexible income doing something I’m genuinely passionate about. I prioritize understanding each client’s specific needs and requirements for their pet’s care. I’m patient, kind, and attentive to every detail — going well beyond a standard visit to ensure your pet receives genuine interaction and personalized attention. I make it my responsibility to keep your pet safe and secure throughout my visit, and to leave everything in order so your animal is comfortable and cared for until we meet again.
“Once again Kevin did great with my fraidycat - it only took a couple of days for the fur babe to come out to greet him and start asking for pets. I think they are good friends now! Thanks again 🙌🏼”
“Kathleen has been very reliable and my dog who doesn’t like many people went right up to her and loved her! I’m very comfortable with Kathleen and grateful we met! I’m looking forward to working with her and so appreciate her care of my Bowie!”
“Brian is an amazing, king, caring, reliable, and trustworthy. My dogs felt comfortable and happy right away under his care. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for peace of mind! Thank you Brian!”
“Anna was amazing watching my cat while I was away! My cat is normally very shy, but Anna was able to connect with her quickly and gave her lots of attention and care. She provided regular updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind. I will definitely book her again and highly recommend her.”
“Thu was great with my dog, Daisy. She communicated very clearly right from the start, asked all the right questions, and I can tell she genuinely loves dogs. We live in the same building, and I have seen how Thu was great with her foster pup too. This is the reason I felt very confident booking Thu's service for my Daisy. I highly recommend Thu and would definitely book again in a heartbeat.”
About: I love to be around all dogs and their personalities. I’ve had dogs and grown up around them all my life. In high school I worked at a dog daycare/ boarding in Gig Harbor for 3 years. Working there I gained experience with feeding, boarding, and understanding all types of breeds. I started doing Rover when I was in college because I missed being around dogs. Now I have a dog (French Bulldog) who loves her ‘dog friends’. I work at home most days of the week and my job can be flexible to adjust to the needs of the dog. (I come home on lunch to walk Margaux) My evenings and weekends are fully free to spend time with your pet. I have a studio apt with large windows that gets plenty of afternoon sun, and a covered balcony to give the dog a nice view to the outside (supervised).
“Glad to find someone close by able to give Kitty some affection and took care to follow instructions, left my place secure. Was my 1st time using Rover! would use again”
“Maryia was so wonderful!!! I really cannot think of any better cat sitter, she was very very nice to my cats and also my place! She is resposible, communicative and absolutely gave all the love to my cats. She will definitely be my go-to cat sitter from now on while I am travelig.”
“Sophia is amazing and such a wonderful caregiver! Great communication leading up to the stay, and great updates while we were gone for almost a week. We loved seeing the pictures of our happy cat! Sophia is a huge help and will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I have several years of pet care experience, starting with my own 10-year-old German Shepherd who currently lives with my parents in California. I’ve also been a Rover sitter, caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. This has given me a strong understanding of different canine needs and behaviors, and I always prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment tailored to each dog’s personality. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I can take dogs out for a morning walk before work, a longer 30-minute to 1-hour walk in the afternoon, and another walk before bedtime. I’d love to ensure your dog gets the care, attention, and exercise they need throughout the day! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and preferences so they feel secure and cared for. I make sure their environment is clean, calm, and free of hazards—no access to unsafe foods, wires, or small objects.
“Marie is sooo excellent! She is incredibly thorough and detail oriented. She is such a sweet person and puts a lot of care into caring for your pet. My kitty was in the best of hands and I look forward to using Marie for future trips :)”
“Julia was absolutely fantastic! Reliable, caring and very professional and my cat loves her! Will definitely book with Julia again. Bonus: the photos she takes of your pet are amazing ♥️”
Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rachel was absolutely wonderful. She was great at communicating with us, letting us know what our kitties were up to while we were gone, with plenty of pictures of them playing and getting pets from her. Even our shy kitty loved her! She let us know when minor problems happened, which certainly makes me feel confident she would handle major problems as well. If you’re looking for a pet sitter, I’d highly recommend her!
Sunny did an amazing job caring for my cat while I was away. He seemed to genuinely enjoy his time with her, and she did a great job of keeping me updated to put my mind at ease. I highly recommend her services and will definitely rebook whenever I travel. Thank you, Sunny!!
Edward took so many great photos of our 4 cats while we were away for a long weekend! I could tell he put extra care and attention into his visits, and even after the first drop-in I felt at ease with the fact they were in good hands. Definitely will be rebooking Edward again.
Wow! Madeline is so wonderful. She was patient with my little troublesome one and responsive, proactive, caring and went the extra mile to make sure both cat and owners were happy. I would highly recommend Madeline with your furry friends. Thank you, Madeline and Rover!
Marie-Rose did an amazing job!! She truly went above and beyond watching my cat for me while I was gone for over a week - she sent photos AND videos of playtime, followed all my instructions, and honestly left everything better than it was before! Wish there were more than 5 stars ⭐️
Sami did a great job watching my two kitties while I was gone for a week! Highly recommend! She’s very attentive, goes above and beyond (brought her own poop bags), and was communicative the entire time. Thank you so much for peace of mind while I was away from home (:
Tanner is the absolute best! Our pets love her (even the cat who can’t be bothered to befriend anyone …except Tanner). She’s great with communication and I’ve always felt like our home and pets were very safe in her hands. Will continue to book any chance we get!
I love booking Madison for drop-in visits with Zoey! I went through a few training sessions with Madison so I’ve seen how knowledgeable she is and know she will take wonderful care of Zoey during her visits. I would highly recommend booking her for training and/or walks and visits!
