“Natalie did an amazing job at communicating with us with updates and pictures everyday. We were able to enjoy our vacation and not worry about how our fur kiddos were doing. We will use Natalie again to take care of our three fur kiddos again!”

“Natalia was perfect! She was very responsive, paid close attention to Pepper, and left my home in better condition than she found it. She sent pictures every day, and gave me a thorough description of how Pepper was doing every single day. I highly recommend Natalia! She is very caring and your dog will feel safe and cared for, and you will have peace of mind!”

“Dale is awesome. She communicated often and asked for clarification when I didn’t leave clear instructions. My babies were happy and healthy when I got home. Thanks Dale”

“Tassia took great care of our two girls while we were traveling. Leaving them home is always stressful and we miss them, but she took the time to get to know them before our trip, asked thoughtful questions, and kept us updated with photos while we were away. We will definitely work with Tassia again!”

“If you’re looking for an in home dog sitter, Jenna is GREAT! She kept the house clean and the pup happy. Our dog was very comfortable with her and content when we got home. I highly recommend Jenna if you’re looking for a sitter who is local to downtown Seattle. She sends pics and communicates quickly which is always appreciated while traveling.”

“Diane did such a great job with our dogs! She had great communication from the start, and provided frequent updates and photos. She even figured out a way to make our very shy pup feel comfortable enough to be harnessed to go on walks - this is usually too scary for her with people she doesn't know well. We felt that our dogs were in very good hands the whole time. Diane left the house in great condition too. We would highly recommend her to others!”

“Kathleen was fantastic! She kept us up to date with the pets, sent some photos, and left our house in great condition. We will definitely be hiring her again!”
“Mengyuan looked after my pet cat Polo when I had to travel. I’m sure Polo had a great time with her. My experience with her was great as well and she remained in touch with me throughout the stay and sent daily photos of Polo and kept me updated on how he’s doing the whole time. I would 100% recommend her for pet sitting and would definitely book her stay for future travels as well.”

“Mitchelle was amazing. She came initially to have a meet and greet session with my pets. I had a lot of issues with leash pulling with Winnie and she left him to me in such an improved way. She provided me with updates at all times. Thank you, Mitchelle!”

“Dennis is fantastic! He kindly spent significant time getting to know our dog, Zola, so that she would be comfortable for a 10 day house sit. He treated her with patience, even in her high energy moments. He's easy to talk to and asks all the right questions about the dog and plans. While we were away, he shared lots of updates on Zola and took great care of our space. We will definitely ask him next time we have a trip!”

“Josh was a phenomenal dog & house sitter! He stayed with Lou, my young, high-energy German Shepherd mix, over the holidays. Lou is a sweet girl but has a lot of working dog energy, so she needs someone patient, attentive, and willing to commit time to long walks and getting her energy out. Josh was the perfect match! He was super communicative, flexible, and reliable. I know he gave Lou a lot of love and attention. He also left my home in perfect condition! We'll definitely have him again, and would highly recommend him to anyone!”

“Sol was wonderful with our dog and cat while we were away. And they left our house so tidy and clean! I know we will request Sol to stay here again for sure.”

“Lynsey took such good care of my senior dog! She sent so many pictures and she is a photographer, so the professional pictures were an added bonus! Would definitely book again.”

“Alison was terrific with regular updates and photos of our dogs. Felt very comfortable leaving the dogs and home in her care. Would definitely book her again.”

“Primrose was an amazing dog sitter. They stayed over at our home, took excellent care of our two dogs, and was very responsive during the booking process and during the stay. We appreciated all the photo updates. I'll definitely try to book Primrose again for future dog sits”

“Laura was super responsive and thoughtful while she took care of our home and our big sweet pooch. She did a wonderful job overall and I am very grateful for her help while we were out of town. We will reach out to her again in the future!”

“We had a 10/10 experience with Olivia while she house-sat and cared for our cat over Thanksgiving. She was incredibly communicative and sent plenty of photos, which gave us total peace of mind that our little guy was happy and well taken care of. We came home to a relaxed cat and a tidy house. Would definitely book with her again!”

“David took excellent care of our dog and cat! He was a great communicator - giving us frequent/detailed updates through messages and videos. I knew our pets would be comfortable with him when even our cat came right out to check him out during our intro meeting. He is kind, super reliable, and has great intuition/knowledge with animals. David will be our go to sitter!”

First Hill pet parents share their Rover experiences
I trust Sierra to take care good of our elderly dog, Spice! We have been going to her prior to her joining Rover. I have such peace of mind while on vacation knowing that he is with her. She’s house sat with him for several weeks and provides regular updates and photos. My dog loves going to her and does not get separation anxiety when he’s in her loving and quality care! Strong recommendation and will go to her again!

This was the second time Lucinda took care of Pan. I know how comfortable pan was by how she followed her around and snuggled with her. On the last day, construction in the unit next door began which triggered pan’s severe anxiety brought on by noise. She was so kind and understanding, and did everything possible to try and put her at ease before having to leave.

We had the privilege of having Qunnie look after our bestest boy Barry (Golden Retriever) this weekend. This was our first time since moving to Washington leaving Barry in the care of someone else so Quinne kindly house sat so Barry had a familiar environment while we were away. Quinnie's professionalism and level of care was outstanding right from initial meet and greet through to arrival, lots of updates and photos during the stay and kindly letting us know when she was departing. Would absolutely recommend Quinnie as a sitter and look forward to using her services again to hang out with Barry in the near future :)

We had such a wonderful experience with Ashley! She was incredibly communicative throughout the stay and gave me so much peace of mind leaving my senior dog in her care. Aries can sometimes be nervous and bark around new people, but he warmed up to her so quickly, which says a lot. There was even an unexpected early morning fire alarm, and she calmly handled everything — including carrying him down the stairs. I was so grateful knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again — highly recommend!

Dale is amazing! She's dependable, asks great questions in preparation, respected and took care of my place while she was here, sent photos of walks, was communicative about eating and toileting, and does a great job with working with Bentley even though he is leash reactive.

Margaret took such good care of our pups for a week while we were on vacation. She was super thoughtful of their quirks and helped ensure they had good walks with positive reinforcement. She also kept our house in very good shape while she was staying here. Would definitely book again!

Chris handled a very stressful situation with grace and compassion when my dog was hospitalized by another dog that got loose in the neighborhood - a repeat event unfortunately which was in no way his fault. He truly went above and beyond while I was out of the country during this incident and I cannot thank him enough for helping put my mind at ease as I frantically arranged travel to come home early. Even prior to that unfortunate turn, it was plain to see they got along famously, which is saying something for this very high energy, anxious animal. Highly recommended sitter.

Li was great, attentive to details, kind and welcoming with our dog Charlie Girl. Regular updates from walks and spending time at home together. And, when we got home the house was immaculate. Garbage and recycle bins empty and a freshly cleaned home is a wonderful way to be welcomed home! We’ll be rebooking with Li in the near future for sure.

Heather was wonderful with our pets while we were away. She stayed overnight with them and was around a lot during the day. She sent us daily photos and check ins so we were never out of the loop. She pulled in some packages for us that we had delivered as well. The house was just as we left it when we returned. We would definitely hire her again. Thanks Heather!

Alex has been great watching my cat Nala while staying at my house. Each time he follows all of my instructions and provides plenty of pictures of Nala on a daily basis. I regularly find my house better off (e.g., cleaner) than when I left, which is a welcome thing to come home to. Nala always seems happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend Alex.
