“Diane is an excellent pet sitter. You can immediately tell she is extremely caring and attentive. She took great care of my boy Harry - walks, playing with him, and excellent general nurturing. Would definitely use her again.”
“Ellie was amazing! She took Taffy on all kinds of little adventures and sent me the cutest pictures. She was super communicative and I could tell Taffy had a great time without me because she’s already went back to sleep and I just got home. Thank you Ellie!”
“Bre was fantastic watching our Cat! He has some medical that require extra effort/ needs and Bre followed directions and was very communicative in times of doubt. She also took great care of our house. We will hire her again and highly recommend her to watch your pets!”
“Kayla was amazing with our 3 high-maintenance Frenchies. She showed up on time, sent updates with photos, and made sure they got their care & meds as needed. We are so happy to have found her!”
“Tim was fantastic with our cats. The freezing weather threw a wrench in things, and Tim agreed to come earlier than we had him scheduled. This really helped out the sitter he was relieving since she doesn’t drive and needed to arrange transportation. Tim ensured the outside cats were warm enough and got them fresh water when it froze. He sent us photos of the cats to us and let us know all was well which we appreciated.”
“My second time booking with Desdrianneja and I felt so comfortable leaving Onyx in her care again! She did not disappoint and communicated with me every day. Onyx loves her and I appreciate her professionalism and kindness towards not only my precious boy, but me as well. Thank you Desdrianneja 💗💗”
“Tatyana was the BEST! She was so communicative and flexible. My dog was so at ease with her and she sent me lots of pictures throughout our stay. 10/10 recommend!”
“Sandi was a fantastic pup sitter! She sent the best updates and photos and Ralphie never looked happier. He definitely had a great time with her while we were away. She’s has a calm demeanor and eased our minds leaving him in her care for our first time away! 10/10 recommend her and will absolutely reach out again if we need another sitter!”
“From the first interaction through Rover, Eva was timely, professional, friendly, and thorough. She was a great a communicator and very thoughtful with my doggies. I could tell I would very much appreciate how attentive and interactive she was, with my pets as well as giving me updates while I was away. She had the initiative to ask detailed questions about my pets and took notes, offered to bring treats for them and even played with them outside. Since one my dogs has incontinence issues, she even brought items to protect my furniture. Overall, I am very pleased with Eva and encourage anyone to have confidence in booking with her. I look forward to rebooking with her myself.”
“Ruth has been an amazing house and pet sitter for me and my two little pups! She's kind, conscientious and overall a fantastic person and perlt caretaker! I highly recommend Ruth for all of your house and pet sitting needs! 🫶🩷🐾”
“Lidia was great with both of my dogs! She communicated with me at all times and sent me videos and pictures of my dogs, also they came back hope very happy and stress free”
“Deanna did an amazing job looking after our home and our animals while we were away. She looked after them like they were her own. Lots of communication and updates throughout our trip let us know things were well taken care of at home. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Paula is very nice and did a great job watching Toby while I was out of town. Unfortunately, it rained (heavily) throughout her whole stay, so walks were on short supply but she kept me updated throughout and took Toby out as much as possible considering! I came home to a happy pup and clean home. I would definitely book with Paula again!”
“Lizzy took amazing care of our three dogs for a full week — each with their own personality and routine — and handled it all perfectly. We came home to three happy, relaxed pups. She also went above and beyond by watering our plants and keeping everything in great shape while we were away. Communication was excellent — we got daily updates and photos that really put our minds at ease. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Mateo was so amazing ! He came in on time. Communicated very well before he came and during the time he was with my cat. He was warm and very attentive to details. I highly recommend him”
“What a wonderful sitter! Allison was so sweet to our 9month old mini-Bernese, Atlas. She cared for him for an entire week and gave us thorough updates along the way. She also took care of our home. We are very thankful and would book her again in a heartbeat.”
About: Though it's been some time, I gained hands-on experience caring for my grandmother’s Golden Retriever when I was younger (ages 6-12). I handled everything from feeding and playtime to washing and general care. This early experience taught me responsibility and a deep understanding of dogs' needs. My background in caregiving and fitness also adds to my ability to provide attentive, active care, ensuring every dog feels loved and well-cared-for. As a second-year Physical Therapy student at the University of Washington, I'm currently on break with no classes, giving me ample time to dedicate to pet care. This break allows me to be flexible and fully available to assist with your dog care needs, ensuring your pet gets the attention and care they deserve! While I don't currently have a pet myself, my experience as a personal trainer and future Physical Therapist has taught me the importance of care, attention, and empathy. Just as I prioritize the well-being of my clients, I bring that same level of dedication to caring for pets. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I ensure that each dog receives personalized care, tailored to their unique needs, much like I do with my human clients.

Diamond was amazing! She is kind and patient, and has wonderful positive energy, and a bright personality. Thank you for being patient with my girl, and giving her a chance to get to know you. She’s already walked into the guest room multiple times looking for you. Lol It’s hard for me to trust her with just anyone, but you did such a wonderful job with her, that I can’t wait to book you again! A thousand thanks from me and Duchess. 🫶🏼
Lidia was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we met, I felt completely comfortable leaving my pet in her care. She was dependable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Throughout the stay, she provided updates, photos, and peace of mind, which meant so much to me. My pet was happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of attention and affection. Lidia went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled perfectly. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and kind to care for your furry family member, I cannot recommend Lidia highly enough. I will definitely be booking with her again!
Aly took great care of our girls while we were away. She kept us updated throughout our trip with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. She was thoughtful, reliable, and clearly cared for our pets as if they were her own. Aly also kept our home spotless, and went above and beyond by helping water our plants. We came home to happy pups and a well-cared-for house. We would gladly book with Aly again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.
Walker took great care of my Monty boy while I was away! Even with little notice of the booking and our busy schedules, he was willing to do a meet and greet beforehand and answered all of my many questions. He sent updates throughout the entire stay and took great care of my boy and our home 😊
Sarah took wonderful care of my dog, Kayleigh, during my recent 7-day business trip. From the beginning, she was warm, reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Kayleigh was happy, well cared for, and comfortable when I returned home, and I could tell she had received lots of attention and affection. Sarah also took great care of my home and made the entire experience stress-free. I would absolutely book with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional sitter through Rover!
Keely was warm, friendly, and easy going when she came over before hand to meet my puppy. This was my first time using Rover and was impressed by the level of service received by Keely. She sent pictures everyday along with communication. If there were any concerns, all minor puppy behavior, she noted them via text. For example, asked how I handled my dog, an Australian Shepherd, wanting to sprint for several blocks and be an Olympic Champ (my words not hers), I gave her suggestions that have worked for me. All to say, she doesn’t hesitate to reach out and ask what works for your dog when needed. I would recommend Keely and use her services again if she is up to my energetic Australian Shepherd.
Stephanie was fantastic! She dog-sat our girl for 9 days while we were out of the country and I am so glad we went with her. I had so much anxiety about leaving our dog behind for such a long span of time but Stephanie made everything easy and breezy. She updated us multiple times a day and responded within minutes if we reached out requesting an update because we missed our baby. When we returned from our trip, our dog and home were left in perfect condition. We will definitley rebook!
Let is very responsive and communicative. She is a considerate dog sitter and house sitter. We appreciated the updates and photos while we were away. Our shy senior dog has to go out often and takes meds but he was well taken care of. Let is very kind and we would absolutely use her services again.
Daniela was fantastic watching my dog, Kali. I reached out to her very last minute — literally the day before I had to leave town — and she was incredibly responsive and accommodating. She came by that same day to meet Kali and was fully prepared to watch her the very next day, which happened to be the Friday of a holiday weekend. Her communication throughout the entire stay was excellent. She was very clear, responsive, and kept me updated with thoughtful messages so I always knew how Kali was doing, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. She also took great care of my home while house sitting and left everything in great shape. This was Daniela’s first time watching Kali, and she made the whole experience completely stress-free. I’d absolutely trust her to watch Kali again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and thoughtful sitter.
