“Rosie was well taken care of by Erica and came home happy:-) Thank you for the walks and adorable photos. It looks like they had a great day!”
“Anastasia was great with my two pups! She is a great communicator and sent many pics throughout the day. My pups seemed to have a great time with her!”
“Ian was great with my dog. He was dependable and knowledgeable. My dog was always happy at pick up and had obviously been well cared for. I really appreciate Ian taking care of my Iris while she was in heat, that is not an easy thing to find, and he handled it with ease. Ian was also available with little notice. He is flexible and responsible. I have felt very grateful to find him.”
“Mindy and Daniel did an excellent job caring for our two dogs throughout the day! We appreciated their flexibility and willingness to attend to each dog’s individual needs, providing opportunities for entertainment, nourishment, and relaxation as necessary. They provided updates and pictures and were adaptable with their care during the rainy weather. We would be happy to use their services again!”
“Took excellent care of my high energy puppy, provided lots of pictures and videos of him happily playing in the yard, prompt and communicative. Couldn't have asked for a better person to trust with my kiddo for the weekend”
“Norah had a wonderful time at Katharina's place! Katharina was also very understanding when I got delayed by locking my keys in the car. We're very appreciative of the hospitality!”
“Sage is always well taken care of here and absolutely loves it. He comes to say hi to me when I pick him for 2 seconds and then immediately turns around and literally tries to jump into their arms because he loves them so much and wants to stay longer, which is rare for my Australian shepherd 🐾 He has also been better around and meeting strangers lately! Best day care around 🥰”
“Angela was very nice and accommodating. Her dog,Henry, and cat, Dingus, got along great with my dog, Oliver. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and since retiring and living in the PNW, my husband and I have adopted two dogs. I/we have a lot of love to give and will treat your pups as if they are our own. We live in a house with a big, fenced back yard for them to run and play. If wanted, we will go for walks in our secure neighborhood of cul-de-sacs, not on busy streets. I have experience caring for senior dogs as well as those with medical needs. I am currently retired and have lots of time for care of myself and dogs. I will treat your dog(s) with love and attention. I have owned dogs since I was a child and currently live with our two Cairn terriers. They are little dogs with lots of character and keep me entertained every day. I have watched our neighbor's dog(s) because they know I have lots of love and attention to give to each one! I live in a house with a fully fenced, large yard and we have two furry friends to keep your dog company. Of course, your dog can join our pack in the house for lots of love and attention, too.
“Did an absolutely amazing job with Gambler. I was very worried about day care because he had never done it but they made him feel loved and he got some playmates which he did great with. I feel 100% better knowing how well they did with him! Will use again”
“Jennifer was great! Very welcoming to Pearl and to me. She was happy to meet up with me before bringing Pearl. I will definitely use her services again 😁”
About: I have had dogs in my home for 23 years. I will care for your animals the way I care for mine, with LOVE & KINDNESS. I'm currently working part-time, love dogs and have plenty of time to spend with your pooch. Boarding options available as well. Let me know your needs. My yard is completely fenced and have an older lab mix to help keep your fury friend company. I have a great park near by for long walks.
“My dog enjoyed his daycare stay at Maggie's! Her house is perfect for dogs who love to jump on the furniture and roam around her large, fully-fenced yard. She was super responsive as well.”
“Danielle and Aubrey were so wonderful to work with. Couldn't have asked for a better first rover experience with our new rescue pup who is still building confidence. They sent lots of photos and video and it was clear the dogs were in good hands and having a great time!”
“Thanks Meghan! Appreciated the photo updates and am glad Cookie could go on a walk (after all the rain earlier in the week). She enjoys her visits, thanks so much!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was five. I got a rescue when I was 18, who I took care of for 12 years up until his recent passing from cancer. I love making all dogs feel loved and safe! I have extensive experience with rescues, seniors, dogs with IVDD, dogs with limited mobility and dogs with medical needs feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with medication management due to my pup suffering from IVDD. I work from home and would be with your pup the entire day. I’m in a gated, leash-only area that makes it safe for your dog to get all of their walking in. I am also walking distance to a pet park and can get all their zoomies out! I know this is your close family member and now that my pup has passed over the rainbow bridge and received all my attention and care, I can be the pet sitter that I always wished I had for your pup! I work from home and walk several miles a day. I’m happy to take your dog on walks to get all of their energy out and can keep them company while they play with all of the toys that I have. I offer a ton of enrichment activities that I have from when my sweet boy was on crate rest. Your dog will certainly never be bored here! If your dog prefers solitude I have a guest bedroom where they can nap, acclimate or take their toys. They will always be under my supervision! I have a balcony that opens into a yard and an extra bedroom. I am walking distance to a pet park, trails and live in a gated area where they are safe from off-leash dogs!
“Melissa is an amazing dog sitter. My dog always gets SO excited when he realizes he's going to be spending the day with her. He wags his whole body. 😂 It's great to know he's having such a wonderful time when he can't be with me.”
About: I am a work-from home professional who has lost my fur baby a couple of years ago and not quite ready to make to leap of adopting again. Since I am 100% self-employed, working from home, I would like to help others that need pet sitting/boarding and get my doggy fix too until I'm ready to adopt again. I've lived with animals (dogs/cats/horses/goats/sheep/cattle my whole life and very comfortable with them. Since I currently have no pets at home, I can provide a very one on one, peaceful space for your pet. I believe in walkies at least twice or more a day. I'm an active person, love the outdoors and would be happy planning excursions with your pet. I am 100% self-employed and work from home. Since my work is primarily online, I can accommodate pet sitting virtually anywhere with good internet (at either my home or yours, whichever works best for you). I have a small fenced yard that backs up to a green space with large trees, a creek and pond. The home is a single story, so no stairs for older pets to manage. Hard wood floors, with area rugs for ease of cleaning and mishaps. I'm in a gated community, so very quiet and safe.
“Cassie was an AMAZING sitter. This was the first time that we left our pup Otis with someone who wasn't family or friends and Cassie made sure we were up-to-date on how he was doing. She took Otis on lots of walks and a hike with her dog Maggie. He had a great time and we felt at ease.”

Angela H.
“I have known Angela for over 40 years. I have seen her interact with her two pets-a Cat, and a Schnauzer dog-until their unfortunate crossing over the rainbow bridge. In that time, she took them to all appropriate appointments, fed them high quality food, and took her dog for walks twice a day. Furthermore, she sought to take her dog to the dog park, or out with her when she went to public places. When we are out in public she will pet other people's dogs and she will talk to the dogs as though they understand her. She is a responsible, kind and caring person and would do a fantastic job!”

Government Island dog parents share their Rover experiences
We appreciated Mindy and Daniel taking care of Koko and Sasha! During daycare, they made sure to provide opportunities for walks and play, as well as relaxation and naps inside. They gave us timely updates and ensured our dogs were well cared for while we were gone! We would love to use their service again if we are back in the area in the future!
She was absolutely brilliant with my pup. Koa was very enthusiastic and engaged with her. I'll definitely reach out again!!
