“Brantley was fantastic! I was a little nervous leaving my dog as we just moved to Seattle. He kept me updated through the weekend and sent plenty of pictures. We really appreciated it!”

“Devan was excellent with Pepper, and was extremely meticulous in his communication. We received constant text and photo updates during his stay and that’s one of the most important qualities when caring for a pet.”


“Celeste cares for your dog like her own and is enthusiastic about showing them a wonderful time when they stay with her! We appreciated the photo and video updates and loved that our pup had a home away from home while we were away”

“We booked Randsell again for a 6-day stay after a great daycare experience, and we’re so glad we did. She took such great care of our dogs and kept us updated with lots of sweet photos and videos. She was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly understood their personalities. One of our dogs can be slow to warm up, but he became comfortable with her so quickly, which meant a lot to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”

“Davis was fantastic with our dog, a 75 lb mixed breed. She is very anxious when we leave her with a sitter. She’s also sometimes stand offish with men she doesn’t know, but she liked Davis immediately when we met him in a meet and greet before our trip. Davis’ calm, confident way with dogs put us at ease, and we felt comfortable leaving our pup with him for a full week. A few days before our trip, our dog got a dog bite that got infected, so we had to leave her with new medications and care instructions. Davis handled everything with no stress, made sure she got her medication, and took great care of her while she healed. We came home to a happy, healthy dog and would absolutely hire Davis again and recommend to others.”

“Danielle and Joy took fantastic care of our Boston Terrier, Patrick. He requires medication and has some anxiety and Danielle and Joy did a great job handling these special needs.”

“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”

“Mengyuan did such a great job with both my cat and dog. I received updates and pictures from her daily, she is very attentive and communicative, I would book her again and would also recommend her to anyone!”

“Samantha was absolutely wonderful taking care of Teddy. Teddy had lots of fun playing with Samantha, meeting her friends and taking very long walks with her! Samantha was so patient with Teddy when he was first nervous. She sent me consistent updates on Teddy & each time, it looked like he was having a blast. In fact, after she took care of Teddy, Teddy & I ran into her on a walk and he was soooo excited to see her again. Definitely recommend Samantha - she was kind, responsive, and made Teddy feel right at home in her place.”

“Jennifer has boarded of our dog several times now, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She’s a great communicator, takes him on fun adventures, and he returns happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”

“Regina went above and beyond to ensure my elderly dachshund received the best care and attention. Her regular photo updates allowed our family to relax while away, knowing our pet was in good hands. Regina was also easy to work with, flexible, and we look forward to having our dog stay with Regina again!”

“Catherine was absolutely wonderful. This was our first time boarding Hiro, and she was so great through the whole process. We would 100% book again with her in the future.”


“Our dog loves his stays at Ponyo's home. She takes such conscientious care him and he gets lots of love! We always get photos and updates. Trooper comes home happy and healthy. We are so lucky to have found her.”

“Debra is attentive, patient, and so sweet with our senior dogs. We appreciate her timely communication and attention to the details and medication schedules. Highly recommend!”
“Sufi loves staying at Ramon. I appreciate his transparency and he loves having Sufi over. He is regular at updates, something which calms our anxiety leaving our kiddo.”

“Sam was a great dog sitter for our pup Maggie while we were away. She did a wonderful job keeping our high energy dog occupied and shared regular updates on how she was doing while we were away.”


“The absolute perfect sitter - we’ve never seen Cream be so playful and happy with anyone other than Whidbey (their resident cat), and Sudharshini sends us copious amounts of videos and pictures every day. She truly cares. We have found our go-to sitter!”

“My dog had a good time at Sunmee and Patrick’s. He made good friend with their dog Winter. Sunmee, Patrick and their lovely son took good care of Nui and kept me updated with videos and pictures. I look forward to booking NUI’s next stay with them.”

“What a great sitter! Ruby had a fun time with Hing's two beautiful pups. Communication and flexibility were great and super helpful. The neighborhood is beautiful and great for dogs. Would definitely use again.”

First Hill dog parents share their Rover experiences
Nicolas was AMAZING! My two doggies spent 8 days with him while I was on vacation. I was nervous about being gone so long, and one of my dogs has never been to a sitter. Nicolas updated me multiple times a day along with photos! I think the dogs love him more than me. Lol. He is my new dog person for sure! I can't give enough positive feedback! So wonderful!!!!

Jessica and her partner are absolute gems! They took such good care of our baby boy (Bear) while we were away for a couple weeks visiting family. We were given bountiful updates and pictures that really put me and my partners heart at ease- it honestly looked like Bear had a better time than we did 😂💗 Jessica went above and beyond to care for Bear, take him out many times a day, and was honestly very much in tune with his behavior and what he likes/doesn’t like. She was noticing things about Bear that we’ve observed over the years, in such a short amount of time! We were incredibly happy with our experience and will definitely be booking with Jessica again the next time we are away ☺️

Nikki and Walther took excellent care of our little dog. Nikki sent regular updates throughout the stay, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. I think our dog had a little vacation of his own with Nikki and Walther—and was probably even more spoiled than he is at home! Our usually nervous dog came back calm, relaxed, and happy, which says a lot about the care and attention he received. I would absolutely book with Nikki again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

Ye (Amy) was such a great sitter - she watched our two small pups for 10 days while we were on vacation & was a joy to work with. She provided our dogs each with their medications & specialized diets and was very careful about instructions for our pups. While we were gone, she provided tons of updates & photos which we absolutely loved. We would love to work with her again!

Juliana took great care of Baer! Quick and easy communication. Her place was perfect for our small dog recovering from surgery. We got daily pictures while we were away. She was very flexible and accommodating with the pickup and drop off times. Would recommend and book again!
