“We had a wonderful experience with Annie! She took amazing care of our two cats and kept us updated with lots of photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She even cleaned up after one of our cats which we truly appreciated — going above and beyond what we expected. I would highly recommend Annie and we will absolutely be booking with her again!”

“Dana was so great with my dog! Immediately my pup was at ease upon meeting Dana and I felt comforted knowing my dog was going be taken care of so sweetly while I was at work. I highly recommend Dana!”

“If our three thumbed (polydactyl) cats had access to our smart devices, they’d have already left this review themselves—and probably tipped him extra. We’ve trusted Kevin with our trio of “tigerz” more than once now, and there’s a reason we keep coming back. Each of our cats has their own unique demands (I mean, personality), and somehow Kevin manages to keep all three happy, fed, entertained, and—most impressively—on their absolute best behavior. We’re still trying to figure out his secret. It’s incredibly reassuring knowing they’re in such attentive and capable hands when we have to be away. Kevin takes the time to understand each cat’s quirks and needs, and it shows. We come home to relaxed, happy, and well-cared-for cats! 🌟 Kevin is our go-to sitter without hesitation, and we can’t recommend him highly enough!”

“Jessica is my favorite cat sitter I've worked with since using Rover! She was extremely communicative, making sure I knew when she'd be over, and sent me tons of pictures/videos playing with my boys. She made an effort to accommodate my schedule with getting/returning the keys, and took the job on short notice. She even carried in a heavy Chewy package for me without me even asking her to. I will be hiring her again next time I'm out of town!”

“Brittany was a great sitter for my 14 year old labradoodle. She made sure to make him feel loved and went above and beyond to keep him happy and kept me updated with photos and videos from each visit. I will definitely be a regular client and highly recommend working with Brittany!”

“Kennedy was excellent with my adult cat—who can be a bit picky. My cat warmed up to her right away. Kennedy has great attention to detail and will make your pet as comfortable as possible while you’re away.”

“Valeriya is an amazing cat sitter and we had a great experience. She was prompt and responsive from the start, and communication was clear and easy the whole time. My cat is older and pretty grumpy with new people, but Valeriya was very patient and won her over. I can always tell from medical condition flareups when my cat is stressed and I came home to a very content furball. Valeriya followed all the complicated feeding instructions perfectly. She sent plenty of photo updates, which really helped me feel at ease while I was away. I will happily book with her again and recommend her to anyone else with a fussy cat.”

“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 :)”

“Carter was incredible!! He is so attentive and responsive. He seems genuinely interested in getting to know your little fur baby's personality :) He shares great photos and updates each visit and did an amazing job responding to the individual needs of our cats and their environment. Hopefully he will be available next time we are traveling!”

About: We have watched our family, friends, and coworkers dogs a few times and loved it. Right now, we don't have any pets of our own, but would love to watch yours while you are away. Both our jobs allow us to bring dogs to work so if you don't want your furry loved one to spend 8 hours alone in a stranger's apartment bored in a crate all day, we may be the sitters for you. Also, one of us works only 6 blocks from our apartment in Seattle so if we are not able to bring your furry one to work with one of us, I am a 5 minute drive from work and can check up on your pet around the lunch hour. Our work hours are pretty consistent as well, one of us 7:30 am to 5 pm and the other 8:30 to 5:30 pm. For convenience, we would prefer that your pet stays with us while you are away. Pets are welcome on our couches or the bed. We would rather not crate your furry one if we don't have to, but will if you want to maintain consistency. We may not have a yard or a big apartment, but Sculpture Park which is dog friendly is right across the street from us. We will also visit dog friendly places, such as U Village on the weekends. We will follow any pet rules that you follow in your own home to maintain consistency. Any specific rules you would like us to follow we welcome written instructions. We may be able to give any medications to your pet depending on the circumstances. We are open to discuss any special circumstances that your furry one requires.

About: Lifelong cat owner currently living with two cats of my own. I've had cats my whole life and understand their personalities deeply. Equally comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I approach every sit with patience, genuine care, and regular communication with owners My game studio is on summer break so I have dedicated time to give your pet genuine attention, not just a quick check-in between obligations. I do my own cat check-ins daily but otherwise I'm fully present and available throughout the day. When I'm in your home I treat it with complete respect. You'll get photo updates and honest communication throughout the stay. I always do a meet and greet first so your pet is comfortable with me before day one, and so I fully understand their routine, quirks, and needs. No surprises.

“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”

About: I grew up on a farm with all sorts of animals, including dogs and cats. I’ve had pets most of my life. Most recently, I had Sparky for 10 years… he was at the center of my world until he passed away from cancer. Now I’m taking care of others’ pets before I decide to bring another doggo into my life. Prefer house sitting, drop ins, and walking, though I could bring your pet over to my place for short periods of time. I live downtown and can walk, take public transit, or drive if need be. I work at the UW and generally work from home on Fridays. With advance notice, I can make my weekdays a bit more flexible. I will make sure your pet is comfortable, giving them the regular walks and attention they need, and following any food and medication schedule you might have.
“Always so nice to have Emily look after our Cleo. She is great with Cleo, but also good at taking care of our house (bring in packages, etc.). We’re always grateful!”


“Hongyu did an amazing job! went above and beyond my expectations. She did exactly what was asked and more. she gave my cat so much attention that when I got back she wasn’t as seeming to miss me as she usually is. Definitely would recommend Hongyu!”

“Julia is simply amazing. She was friendly, kind and took really good care of my cat. She scheduled time to come visit and familiarize herself before the appointed visits, and she sent me updates and pictures of my cat everyday. She is also super good with the my cat who loved her. Will definitely book her service next time. Thank you Julia!”

About: I grew up on a ranch, helping to care for animals from the exotic pet trade as part of their rehabilitation. This also gave me an understanding of animal body language, respect for their quality of life, and the patience to train them. I work from home on art commissions, but love to get a chance to go outside. Because of this, my schedule is quite open and flexible for daytime. It is totally up to what the client requests for their pets care, but as per my morals, I only train pets through positive reinforcement. Patience and understanding are the core elements of how I approach animals and especially pets. At home I have a small crate and 2 small friendly dogs that free roam because they are my good little princesses.

Amber was such a great sitter! She helped watch our cat for 2 weeks while we visited family, and she made sure he was well cared for while we were gone. She was communicative and responsive, and even helped change the batteries on our door lock when it almost died!

Carter took wonderful care of our fur babies and our home! One of our cats requires twice daily injections and Carter was attentive and caring with him! We really appreciate all the photos sent with check-in while we were gone. Carter went above and beyond, replacing some worn out rope on their cat tower and even emptied the dishwasher and swapped some dying lightbulbs! We look forward to having Carter look after our kitties in the future!

Can’t recommend Kevin enough! He's so respectful of my home, on time every visit, and patient during my cat’s anti social moments. Such a blessing to know my cat is not only being fed while I’m away; but truly cared for. He sends thoughtful summaries and photos from each visit, and even washes her dishes. Kevin is the guys you want to watch your pet during your next trip. Thank you Kev!!
