“Kevin stayed with our Abby for 10 days while we went on vacation. Abby has anxiety when it comes to storms and unfortunately, there was one on day one and Kevin managed her medication along with her daily medications and finicky diet. I got the impression that he really enjoyed. Abby and I know Abby was happy with his care. He was great and very communicative, kind, and respectful of our home.He inquired as to what to do with linens ad left it in great condition. We are grateful that we found Kevin on Rover and will be happy to have him care for Abby again!”

About: I've had pets my entire life! Have my own golden lab mix whose a service dog now and have fostered many pets via the Seattle Animal Shelter program - week old puppies to 90+ pound dogs! I am currently working in office, traditional 9-5, but I am always happy to help on the weekends at anytime and during the week anytime before or after then! I have an apartment with the living room reserved for pets and my dog, Mocha, is a great companion! The waterfront is just across the street with lots of grass! I've stayed at many clients' homes before and love to spend time with all pets!


4. Faith A.
“Faith has always loved animals ever since she was a little girl. Animals can sense this and they enjoy being around her. Faith has a very kind and calm personality. She is majoring in nursing at Wagner college because of her desire and interest to help and care for others. In addition, Faith is very mature and responsible. She balances a difficult major while also playing on the women’s soccer team at Wagner. All of these attributes make her an excellent candidate for a pet caregiver.”

“Gab has watched my kitten Sonny overnight for my sister in laws wedding and I never felt so relaxed! Sonny is very attached to me and my husband and anxious and this was the first time a baby sitter in our family would not be able to help.

She is so loving and compassionate towards animals and the first person I will always reccomened to watch their animal.”

“Andrew is great with all kinds of dogs. I’ve witnessed Andrew first hand with his two lovely dogs Teddy and Koko and they are very obedient with him. Andrew knows how to properly command a dog and he’s completed phase one of dog training. Andre would be great for Rover. He’s friendly with all kinds of dogs and is a wonderful animal person to have. I highly recommend Andrew for dog walking and for dog sitting.”

15. Florina D.
“Florina is responsible, loving and caring. She raised her own dog from 8 weeks old so she has plenty of experience with raising and disciplining dogs. I see her often at the dog park, treating other dogs as her own and getting along with their owners too. I'm confident in her ability to dog sit and serve the customers in the best way possible”


16. Nicholas T.
“Nicholas has had a deep concern for and connection with dogs for as long as I can remember. I have seen him interact with dogs in a variety of circumstances for the past 14 years. The earliest memory I have of him interacting with dogs was when he walked, watched, fed, and played with my cousin’s Boxer dogs when we were kids. He was very patient, caring, passionate, and responsible with those dogs as a young boy. Over the years, he cared for his friends' dogs as well by walking and watching them. Over time, as he became an adult, he became even more patient, caring, passionate, and responsible with dogs as he bought a Pug with his girlfriend and became a dogsitter at PetSmart. At PetSmart, Nick would always introduce himself to each dog individually and ensure each dog’s safety was met when in the company of other dogs. Despite the dogs’ different personalities and needs, Nick would show the same love and responsibility to each of them. Not only was Nick yearning to give the best lives for his own dog and dogs under his care at work, but he would always and is still always making an effort to greet and show admiration and concern for dogs, who are on walks with their owners on the streets. If I had to recommend a dog caregiver to anyone, I would feel confident in recommending Nicholas to meet any dog owner's expectations. I trust him to practice exceptional love and responsibility for dogs of any sex or breed who are in his care.”


17. Shalhevet H.

“Shalhevet is our pet sitter of choice. We have used her twice in the last two months. Once for a short weekend, and the second time for weeks while we were out of country... Upon return from both outings it was clear our dog was so well cared for. She goes above and beyond to treat our pup like part of her family. I highly recommend Shalhevet if you want a reliable, easy to communicate with, and caring pet sitter!”


18. Khadija B.
“Khadija is very experienced with multiple dog breeds across all ages. She has experience handling multiple dogs at once and spending time with them one on one. She is experienced in pet sitting and dog walking and has been great with dogs!”


19. Isabella F.
“Isabella is hands down one of the most loving and responsible pet owners and caregivers I know. She is an experienced dog owner with a heart full of love, care, and a deep dedication to animals. She has always had a love for animals, especially dogs, and I know she treats every pet like they're her own. I've asked Isabella to watch my puppy a couple of times when I needed to be out of the house, and she is incredibly attentive, patient, and went above and beyond to make sure my baby felt safe, happy, and loved. He didn't even know I was gone! Whether it's long walks, belly rubs, a good play session, or just extra snuggles, she truly understands what a pet needs. Any fur baby in her care will be in the best hands possible. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
