“10/10! Dmytro was stellar in care of my dogs and taking care of our home. He took the time to do an initial meet and greet with me; he was thoughtful, communicative, very easy to work with, and sent lots of pictures of my dogs while I was gone. We came home to a clean home and my dogs loved him! Will definitely have him house- and dog-sit again - very very happy with experience. Thanks Dmytro!”
“Junbo took wonderful care of my dog Emery, while I was away. She was incredibly responsible and reliable, and it gave so much peace of mind knowing Emery was in such good hands. Junbo regularly sent photos and videos, which I really appreciated - It was so nice to see Emery happy and well cared for. She was also very flexible and accommodating with our schedule, which made everything much easier. Communication was smooth the entire time, and everything went perfectly. I'm very grateful for the care she gave Emery and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Brittany cared for my dog Poppy for 5 days and 4 nights. Nothing exciting happened while she was at my place, which is exactly how I wanted it. She spent a good amount of time with the dog (Poppy needs a high level of person interaction) and took great care of my place. Overall, highly recommended as a trustworthy person to watch your most prized possession(s).”

“Shana is extraordinarily wonderful. She took such great care of our almost 14 year old Maltipoo. She was extremely kind and gentle from the very beginning of my contact with her. She always responded to questions and messages, and sent a daily report of how Kelli was doing, which I LOVED!! She also looked after every detail of our house from taking out the trash, to bringing in packages. I absolutely loved her and will use her again without a moment’s hesitation! A real rock star Rover superstar!!!”

“Justelle did an excellent job of caring for our fur babies while we were gone! She went above and beyond by collecting our mail and watering our plants as well. She kept us well-informed and always responded promptly. We look forward to having her stay at our house again!”

About: I just moved to Seattle and looking to meet and take care of as many dogs as I can! I am a current teacher on summer break who loves animals as much as I love teaching! I will say hi to every and all dogs that I see. I treat my dog as she is my child and ready to give extra love to your fur baby! I love taking long (short, if needed) walks. I am attentive and will ensure the care and safety of your loved one. I am ready to make sure that your dog gets the love they need while you are working, traveling or anything in between :) I am new to the city and looking to build rapport with the community! I am currently on summer break so I am able to be flexible with my dog walking times and/ or check ins! As a petsitter, I want to ensure top care for any pet and their owners. I would make sure to make their safety my number 1 priority. This includes making sure that I am paying attention to their body language and behaviors inside and out of the home.
“Yu was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter and house sitter—we feel so lucky to have found her! She took such loving care of both our dog and our cat, Rosie, while we were away. From the start, her communication was thoughtful and consistent. She sent us frequent updates, complete with adorable photos and videos, which gave us total peace of mind and made us smile every day. Not only did she take our dog on long, happy walks, but she also made sure both the dog and cat were well-fed, cuddled, and clearly feeling safe and loved in our absence. We could tell they were thriving under her care. When we returned home, the house was in beautiful condition—tidy, clean, and clearly well looked after. It honestly felt like we’d left everything in the hands of a trusted friend. Yu’s calm, responsible nature and her clear love for animals make her an absolute gem. We would invite her back to watch our pets and home again in a heartbeat. If you have the chance to book her—do it!”

“Gabby was awesome! Super communicative even though she correctly assumed I didn’t have service on my camping trip. I really appreciated the updates on the rare moments messages came through. She made great progress with my super shy kitty and I’d definitely recommend her! Thank you!”


“Sophia was great with our dogs. She took them out, played at parks and really connected with them. She respected the house while taking great care of our pups. You could see how much fun they were having in the pictures she sent us.”

“Nancy did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs while we were on vacation for a week. It was a tough week. One of our dogs was diagnosed with cancer prior to a vacation and took a turn for the worse while we were away. Nancy went above and beyond taking him to the vet and giving him medication. She kept us up to date with his condition. We would definitely use Nancy again.”
“Julianne was a great house sitter / pet sitter for our kitty. She cared for him during a nearly 3 week vacation in May 2024. She stayed in communication with us throughout the trip and always gave me a sense that our cat was cared for with affection and love. Took great care of our house and yard which doesn’t require a whole lot but was a comfort while we were away. I especially appreciated that Julianne is retired and could really spend most of her time here. Highly recommended!”

“Kira was an amazing dog sitter! One of our dogs has separation anxiety, and Kira did a great job keeping her calm and cared for. They also asked a lot of great questions to make sure they had all of the information they needed about our dogs while we were gone. They sent us pictures of the dogs and gave status updates while we were gone which was really appreciated! They were very flexible with time too, I was able to book them with just a few days notice, and had to stay out later than expected which was no problem for them. Overall it was a great experience, our pups seemed very happy. Thanks Kira! <3”

“Hannah did great watching our dog and two cats for the first time! Everything went super well and she was incredibly helpful finding a solution when our litter robot broke. Her daily updates were great. Highly recommend!!!!”


“Carissa was an amazing sitter! She gave us steady photo updates of our pupper and kept us informed while we were out! I will definitely be booking Carissa again in the near future!”

About: Hello there! My name is Nicole, and like many of you, I LOVE animals. Currently I live in downtown Kirkland and am open to new fluffy (or scaley) friends. I have watched pets inside my own and done visits. I am only open to boarding smaller, cat friendly dogs. :) I promise you that I will love and treat your pet with kindness and love. I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your furry friends, and will send many photos and updates while you are away. I am currently looking to fill my free time with taking care of furry little friends. I live in Kirkland and do daily walks, and if your dog wants to come along, they are more than welcome! I live in a Condo in Kirkland, WA. I am happy to take dogs to dog parks (with permission) or to just a stroll around the neighborhood. I will send updates and photos whenever I see your pet!
“Jenna was able to watch our pup Zoey while we were away for the weekend. She did a marvelous job and had such detailed notes for us. Amazing! So appreciated her willingness to work on some training. Zoey was very happy! Would definitely recommend.”

“Egor was fantastic with our anxious dog, and we would not hesitate to book him to stay with Virgil again! He sent cute updates throughout his stay at our house, and it is clear our dog loves him. And, our house looked great when we returned. Thank you so much, Egor!!”

“Karin was wonderful! She responded quickly, was very sweet, asked thoughtful questions, was attentive, and I came home to a happy and well cared for dog. Highly recommend and would love to book with her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Houghton
Yulia was an incredible sitter for our senior cat Bella. She went above and beyond expectations, making sure Bella received her medications and treatments safely and comfortably, and even gifting Bella a new cat igloo because Bella soiled her old one. Yulia was very communicative, sending us photos and updates of Bella every day, letting us know how Bella was doing. Yulia cuddled with her, played with her, and put on calming cat music for her. Yulia was the ideal house guest, leaving our house just as clean as we left it, and even washing the sheets for us so we could come home to a freshly made bed after a long day of travel. I would recommend Yulia to anyone looking for a professional, experienced, personable, and lovely cat and house sitter.

We booked Sophia for our weeklong trip to watch our mini-zoo of 4 dogs and 2 cats and she was amazing! Responsible, respectful, and responsive. She was happy to comply with everything we asked of her, and even did plenty without us asking. Our house was pristine when we returned and our pets were all very happy and well taken care of, she even washed our rug when one of the dogs had an accident! We would definitely book Sophia again in the future if we have another trip.

Julia was an absolute incredible caretaker for our 2 girls (very sassy elderly kitty 😼, and very energetic Samoyed 🐻❄️)! She was so communicative, helpful with the best updates throughout the day, and really took care of our home during her stay! One big thing was we were out of town during 4th of July so she really comforted them as best as she could during all the fireworks! I would highly recommend Julia for anyone wanting to book with her, 10/10 care and service!

Li did a fantastic job house-sitting while my wife and I were out of town for a week. She provided frequent updates, took our dog on multiple long walks each day, and was very thorough when getting details before starting. She got along great with both our cat and dog, and gave of peace of mind that everything was taken care of at home. We would definitely go to her when needing a pet-sitter again.

Holy moly we found our sitter! Trish was so great. We got daily check ins with photos. Trish left our house so clean and tidy. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and for a longer trip no problem! She was so great with our dogs they are so happy!! (And we are too!)
