“Jamie was great and very easy to work with. She was on time and clearly got along with Zelda and was communicative throughout the booking process and during the day where she dog-sat. Zelda was in a good mood when I got home and clearly enjoyed the company.”



“Emma did a great job. We felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. She did a great job communicating with us and took the time to really get to know our dogs. We will continue to use Emma in the future.”


“Ali did a really great job watching both my dog and apartment! She is very kind and responsible. I would highly recommend her for any services you may be considering!”


“I cannot recommend Kat enough; my family is forever grateful to her. Prior to the week of Thanksgiving, we hadn't left our pets in the care of a pet sitter for more than a night since my mother moved away and couldn't watch them for us anymore. Every pet parent's worst nightmare happened while we were out of town - our dog, Barkley, had a very serious medical emergency that required multiple emergency vet appointments, one of which was more than an hour and a half drive away and took the entire day. Kat went so far above and beyond to take care of Barkley and keep us informed about what was happening. I am positive that if it wasn't for Kat being so observant, attentive, and generally amazing, Barkley wouldn't have lived long enough for us to get home and say goodbye.”


“Kurt was great! Clearly a dog lover! Quick response time, followed through with updates during his stay with Grover. Very Professinal. I felt at ease and am 100 percent satisfied with his work!”

“Jess was amazing with my pups! Very timely about visits and understanding of their needs. One of my dogs can be a bit of a grouch and Jess gave him the time and space he needed to warm up to her and he quickly came around to wanting her attention. Lots of updates and pictures, very comforting all around. Will definitely be using her services again!”


“Courtney was the perfect dog sitter! She watched our Roxy for 10 days while we were on vacation during a huge winter storm. Even though it was negative temps she still tried to walk her and she played in the snow with her and just gave her all the love.”


About: I am an avid dog and cat lover that wants to live vicariously through your pet. I'm a full-time social worker whose career is caring for people in community. However, my passion doesn't stop there. I also love animals! I was born and raised with cats and dogs throughout my whole life. When caring for your dog or cat I treat them with love and care as if they were my own. I love giving lots of ear scratches and belly rubs along with taking them outdoors on walks. I feel better being in the outdoors hiking and if your loved one does too, I'd love to share my passion with them. I love animals of all ages and sizes. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions or concern you may have about myself or your loved one. I am working in person but can accommodate a certain schedule with advance notice to fit any fur baby into my flexible schedule. I have a reliable car that is dog friendly. I’m able to come to you, or pick up your loving pet. I have one fur baby to keep your pet company. I’m employed with the state and have passed all background checks. I will protect your fur baby as if one of my own.

“Helen has watched our dog, Henry overnight for a long weekend twice now and has done a great job communicating and sending photos. She dropped off and picked him up from daycare and was able to manage his high energy personality. Would highly recommend!”


“Gabby was able to handle stressful situations with my pets still getting used to their new house. She contacted me letting me know what was happening and how she managed the situation. Polite and professional. Thank you Gabby!”



“Ryan was great with our anxious dog! We appreciated all the updates and pictures and could see our dog relax as the booking went on. Communication was excellent from the pre booking until leaving and we were confident in leaving Ryan with our dog again.”

I make sure to treat them like family. I take care of the home as well. I would follow all of owners guidelines for walks, crating, and administering medication. Always making sure your pup is safe, having a tight hold onto leashes when walking!

“Dwayne took care of my crew while attending to family business in another state. It was clear from the start what a great animal lover he is as my big dog immediately wanted to be besties. He got my little guys to warm up to him and sent lots of pics of them smiling. He was attentive in every way. He’s a terrific human and clearly takes great pride in his services. I would highly recommend him and will definitely be contacting Dwayne again for future needs. Do not hesitate to book with Dwayne!”


About: I've loved animals my whole life. I have a lizard which I love dearly, and I grew up with a variety of family pets but I haven’t had a chance to get one on my own. I volunteer to watch my friends and families pets for multiple years, just starting to do it professionally! I hope to utilize this opportunity to get my animal fix while incorporating some exercise! I have experience with senior cats, dogs, including dogs with behavioral issues, as well as lizards, hamsters and the occasional bird or fish. I work another full time job that is a fixed schedule Monday through Friday, so l am capable of working regular hours for your and your pets! This will be a top priority and I am so excited to care for your pet and meet new animal lovers! I have house-sit for multiple friends and family members and I make sure to leave the house as I found it and make sure to abide and respect any house rules!

“Barb is fantastic. She is easy to work with and flexible. Most importantly the dogs love her and are happy to stay in their home. The daily updates and pictures are so nice. I will definitely have Barb back.”


“Maddison was great! Our internet went out when she was going to be at our house and she dealt with it with no complaints. She took great care of our pups and was awesome at communicating with us on how they were doing. Sent daily pictures of our dogs. Will definitely use her again.”


“Kierra did a wonderful job taking care of Chester while we were gone for 10 days. She picked up our mail and we came back to a spotless home. We have used Kierra and Breven several times and they always give us a feeling of relief knowing that our cat (Chester) is being well cared for as well as our home.”

Eastside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kat is always wonderful with our pets—attentive, affectionate, and clearly someone they feel comfortable with. We came home to happy animals who were clearly well cared for and loved while we were away. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in such good hands with her.

Jess was very dependable. Our dog is a little old and set in his ways and Jess was patient with him. She was able to get him moving while we were gone even though he had just met her. We especially appreciated how well she kept us informed about our dog while we were away. We will call on Jess again and recommend her to others.

Kristen was a lifesaver for my household when I had to extend my trip due to a family emergency. She didn’t hesitate to continue house-sitting since it worked for her schedule. I was able to easily focus on my family knowing that my two cats were safe and comfortable in Kristen’s capable care. She is responsible and communicative, even watering a houseplant that she noticed was parched. I will happily continue working with Kristen whenever I need my cats looked after!

Barb was excellent! She accepted our request quickly and took the time to come over and meet us, our dog, and walk through the house/stay plans. She was so kind to our dog and understanding of the little quirks we were worried about. She kept us updated while we were away and sent pics. We came home to a very calm and safe dog which is every dog parents dream. We are so thankful for her kindness and expertise.

We couldn’t be happier with how well Maelyn worked out as our pet sitter for the week. There were no issues, she was easy to communicate with, and we got plenty of photos and updates as the week went on. We came home to a happy dog and our house was exactly the way we left it, maybe even a little cleaner. We will absolutely be looking to book Maelyn again next time we decide to travel, she is an excellent dog sitter and I would recommend her to anyone.

Oh my goodness… I can not say enough wonderful things about Amelia. She is dependable, kind and so caring. She stayed in our home and it was great to come home to a well kept house. She kept us updated on Dot and Dot loves her… so do we. We will continue to use her for every occasion. Thank you Amelia, it has been great getting to know you.
