“Codi did a meet n greet with Lance and we knew he would feel right at home for his over night stay. Lance is beyond attentive to Codi and didn’t skip a beat to make Codi feel welcome and comfortable. His home is extremely welcoming and well maintained. We had no concerns whatsoever of his property and neighborhood. Lance provided plenty of updates and pictures. We would book again with Lance!!”

“We felt secure and confident that Ollie was in good hands! And, he was. Minji was incredible and provided lots of photos of our smiling dog. We will definitely continue to trust Ollie in her care.”


“Always trustworthy leave my baby with Judith and husband. He miss them so much already! Thank you so much for everything!!! His second home. And our first choice to leave him when we go for vacations or anywhere else.”

“I’m so grateful to have found Jen. She was welcoming and loving to my pup from the first meeting. It was hard on my big energetic dog for me to be gone but being with someone who understands dogs that can’t go to a traditional daycare and isn’t scare of him was a relief. My dog and I both appreciated it!”

“Gino was awesome with our two English Bulldogs! He took them out for walks, let them enjoy the sun outside in his fully fenced yard, sent us updates throughout the day along with pictures and videos, gave them treats and made them feel like home. Our male is quick to adapt, but our female usually has separation anxiety. He was able to get her to go on walks even though she hates it and exercised them to increase their appetite. She was out and about rather than sulking in her kennel. It warmed my heart! I highly recommend Gino!”

“I strongly recommend Cyndi! I had a last-minute cancellation by another ROVER sitter, and found Cyndi who was willing to watch my dog for a week with very little notice. She took wonderful care of Jax and treated him like her own. Cyndi kept me updated by sending me photos. I knew my dog was in great hands.”

“Angela is an excellent dog sitter. Our dog had a fun vacation of her own at Angela's home. She had the run of the house and yard with another dog to play with and Angela sent us pictures of her having fun. We have left our dog with Angela twice now and already planning a third trip without our young dog because we know she is in good hands with Angela.”

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life! Growing up, I had dogs both big and small, as well as cats. Now I have a dog (June) and a cat (George) of my own. They are the loves of my life! I have experience with puppies and seniors, as well as administering medication to dogs and cats. I’ll treat your pet as if it were my own! I am currently in school, and it is self-paced, so my schedule is quite flexible! I can provide pet care basically any time, and adjust my school schedule accordingly. If I am caring for a pet in a client’s home, I will be sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, it is important that they are comfortable with cats and other dogs. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space to play!
“It was my first time using Rover, and I could tell my dog enjoyed staying with Chuk. She sent daily updates and was responsive to all my questions. I had to drop my dog off early in the morning and pick her up late at night, which can be challenging, but she was incredibly flexible with the timing. Thank you so much!”

“Wow we really got lucky!!! Brandon took Jupiter last minute and I was nervous! Those nerves dissipated as I got texts and pics from Brandon throughout the day and eve. I relaxed and enjoyed time out. Highly recommend Brandon! PS jupy had so much fun he fell asleep in minutes!! ❤️❤️”

“I felt very comfortable leaving my pup here. He had a lot of room to play and other dogs to play with. I got pictures every day to see how he was doing. Highly recommend”

“Millie was treated like a princess while we were away! Kathie kept us updated on how she was doing and took care of Millie as though she was her own. It was such a relief knowing she was in great hands with Kathie!”

“I can tell that Onyx had an amazing time with Ricardo and his wife. He had other friends to play with and they told me that he loved a ball that he was playing with. I am so happy that I found Ricardo for Onyx. I feel so at peace with leaving my pup with him.”

“Knowing that my little princess is safe, happy, adored, and well maintained is such an essential stress relief while traveling. As always, we are super happy with the quality care that Diahann provides and we will be returning again!”

“Alyssa was so wonderful to work with. She is very personable and communicative about all of our dogs needs. I appreciated that she has a great set up for animals, clean, and warm hearted with our dog. I recommend her and would be happy to book her again.”

About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with real, hands-on experience — I’ve had my dog for 10 years and I care for my two cats daily. I’m attentive, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday routine. I take care of my two cats and my dog daily, from feeding and cleaning to giving them attention, playtime, and exercise. Because caring for animals is something I’m used to and genuinely enjoy, adding pet sitting into my schedule fits smoothly and feels like an extension of what I already do. At home, I take care of my pets by keeping them on a consistent routine—feeding them on time, cleaning their spaces, giving them playtime, exercise, and lots of attention. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved every day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely, maintain their pet’s usual routine, and keep the environment clean and calm. Whether at home or in a client’s home, I focus on giving each pet the same patience, care, and respect I give my own.
“Chloe was awesome! She was able to accommodate not only my last-minute booking, but she was also flexible with a late-night pickup time. She was great with my puppy and sent me lots of great pictures and videos during his stay. He had a blast and came home very happy (and sleepy!). Her home is clean and safe for dogs, and her yard is great for pups to run around and play. She was always watching my puppy and very communicative. I’ll absolutely be using her service again in the future!”

“Charley was very happy to make new friends and play with the big dogs, and seemed very happy when we picked him up. Harlie sent plenty of pictures throughout the week. Harlie was also very flexible when we had to change our plans twice during the stay. I would feel very comfortable leaving Charley there again”

“We loved the experience of Dana as our dogs stay while on vacation. She was in good hands and had fun. Dana kept us informed with updates and pictures and videos which put us at ease to enjoy our trip. We would definitely use her again!”

Federal Way pet parents share their Rover experiences
Dane is really kind and took great care of our pup, he was communicative and sent us pictures of her while we were away. He made sure to follow our care and feeding instructions, we really appreciated his great service and the peace of mind he gave us while we were away!

Monica was a delight to work with. She constantly kept us informed about how Luna was doing and sent us daily photos of how Luna was fitting in to the daily routine there. We were informed of the frequent walks and to her overall wellness and comfort. Thank you Monica for making our trip so worry free.

I am so happy I left my fur-son with Xiatong! She took excellent care of my senior boy for a week & sent multiple pictures daily to keep me informed. She even made him more chicken & rice when what I'd left ran out, which was above & beyond my expectations! I highly recommend Xiaotong if you need to travel & I'd definitely use her service again if the need arises.

Judith was great. She and her husband really care for dogs and it shows with how they cared for our dog. She provided daily updates on how our dog was acclimating to her new environment and with the other dogs in her care. The large backyard and doggie door were a huge plus since we knew our little girl loves to go outside a lot and run. We won’t hesitate to book again.

Coguie will miss her favorite sitter auntie Rachel and Chris. As always, this last stay of Coguie with Rachel before our move was a pleasant one and full of care and love to our princess. If you need to be away from your fur baby for a couple of days, I highly recommend Rachel as a pet sitter. You will be at peace knowing your fur baby will be well taken care of and spoiled.

Carmen is an absolute dream and was incredibly helpful and the perfect fit to care for my iggy! Communication was smooth, fast and seamless. The photos and videos she sent were awesome, showing my ‘lil guy having a blast and “living his best life” ! She even had adorable little outfits that he wore during his stay! I can’t rate her professionalism, caring and thoughtful communication high enough! Especially as my iggy was not accustomed to being away from me, I was blown away how contented he was from the very start.

Ari and his wife Linda were absolutely wonderful with our two dogs. They were very communicative throughout the stay and regularly sent photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Their two dogs helped ours feel comfortable and at home right away, and it was clear our dogs felt safe around Ari, his family, and the other dogs. We really appreciated how responsible Ari was in suggesting a trial run before we left our dogs for a couple of weeks—it showed how thoughtful and experienced he is. He also has a great yard where the dogs can run around and play. We’re so happy to have found Ari and Linda and feel confident knowing we have someone we trust to look after our dogs in the future. Highly recommend!

Michelle L, was outstanding with my pet Iggy, he was very well taken care of. He was so comfortable with her that he even let her pet his belly. She sent me photos of him every day. I worried about him, but I knew he was in good hands. If the need ever arises for pet sitting again, I would definitely like to book again with Michelle. Thank you Michelle for taking such good care of my baby.
