“Michelle took perfect care of our two dogs (including our reactive puppy) and our quirky house. She was responsible and communicative, and our dogs obviously felt super relaxed around her. She left our home in perfect condition, even stripping her bed and starting the wash. I recommend Michelle with zero reservations and I’m sure my dogs would, too!”
“Natalie is the best. So reliable and our pup doesn't miss it at all. We had a last minute digestive upset and she was on top of it with special diet, monitoring potty breaks etc. Thanks, Natalie!”
“I felt soooo comfortable leaving my dog with Tassia - I could tell she had great attention to detail and would treat him just like her own. She’s my go-to from here on out!”
“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.”
“Dale took great care of our older dog who stops eating, refuses to go outside and withdraws when we are away. Dale watched her for 3 days and was patient and kind. She was able to coax her out for potty breaks and short walks. She was calm with our dog, who responds well to that. Dale was great with communication too. Thank you Dale!”
“100% amazing! Thank you so so much for taking such good care of our Apple i would highly recommend. Josh gave us so many updates and pictures and cleaned our house. Cannot wait to book again!”
“I am so impressed with Vyla and will absolutely be utilizing her services again. She stayed in our home with our two dogs, Ellie and Charlie, while we travelled abroad for 10 days. No easy task as one is an energetic 10 month old and the other a 14 year old with a few minor special needs. She handled them like a pro! We received photos daily of their activities, she administered meds and a special food routine, and was respectful of our home, leaving it spotless for our return! She even left the sweetest welcome home note and treat, which was so nice to come home to! Best of all, I could tell that the dogs were so comfortable and at ease while she was there, which gave me such peace of mind. So happy with our decision to have her stay!”
“I highly recommend David if you are in need of a diligent, patient and responsive dog sitter. He did an amazing job taking care of our elderly and blind dog who needs multiple medications (including eye drops) multiple times a day. He sent us great updates and adjusted care when we provided feedback.”
“Tanner is awesome! She house-sat for our dog and 2 cats for 10 days, and did an amazing job. She checked in with us daily with an update and photos of the pets, was diligent about house stuff like plant care and garbage, and left our house extremely clean. She even arranged a couple play dates with her own dog (after confirming it was okay with us of course!) and Dessa seemed to have a great time. Tanner definitely gave us peace of mind while she was house sitting which is invaluable when you’re on a long trip! We highly recommend her and would love to book her again.”
“Eunice was great. She took out our pups on regular walks, managed their medication, and kept in regular contact. We’re so happy she’s one of our regulars!”
“Victoria watched my senior dog Oliver over Memorial Day weekend. Oliver had some medications that needed to be administered and Victoria did everything that was asked and went above and beyond for my boy. Leaving your pets with strangers in your house can be strange but any anxiety I had was gone upon meeting her and communicating before my departure date. She is super kind and detailed for all of your pets needs. She sent photos and updates throughout the weekend even when I was in an area with no cell service. I’d highly recommend Victoria to watch your pets.”
“I can’t say enough nice things of how well Jade takes care of Smalls. She takes care of him like he’s her own. We are so lucky we found Jade! Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Very communicative. Sent photos of our dog. We returned early by 1/2 day and she was very flexible. I will ask for her again. Our dog barely noticed we were gone, she was so comfortable with Elise.”
“She took amazing care of my cat Chico while we were away. He’s very spoiled and usually not friendly, but he became so comfortable and bonded with her right away. That says everything. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I will definitely rebook her—highly recommend!”
“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”
“We have used Sol many times and everytime is a wonderful experience. She is clear in communication, looks after Echo and we get lots of photos. We are lucky to have found Sol”
“Jen was outstanding, as always, staying over with our dog and cat. So kind, responsible, and caring with the pets, and wonderful regular communication with us while we were away, we don’t worry about a thing. We are so thankful when she is available!”
International District pet parents share their Rover experiences
Megan was so nice! Extremely friendly and instantly made me feel reassured my 4 cats would be in good hands 🥹 our apartment was spotless when we came home and all the kitties got a good brushing. I love that she provided updates and super cute pictures, but made sure to check what our preference was for frequency since we were on a work trip and would be fairly unavailable. Super thoughtful! Highly recommend Megan although I wish she could cat sit only for me 🤭
I can't recommend Aubrey enough! She is absolutely wonderful with my pets, and they adore her. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals. My pets were so happy and relaxed in her presence. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her, and I will definitely continue to book her services whenever I need a sitter!
Signe did an amazing job with Maverick. She provided regular updates, communicated possible unusual behavior with Maverick (his periodic nail chewing is unfortunately normal 🙄), brought in mail, left the apartment cleaner than I left it etc. all without my request. Maverick got tons of exercise and got to explore new places, which he loves. Highly recommend and hope to book Signe again in the future.
This was a quick overnight away as an experiment with how our cats would do. Wing Shan made it very successful. She sent pictures and communicated well. The cats seemed very relaxed upon our return -- which is the ideal goal. Thanks Wing Shan! ( The next experiment will be with our higher maintenance 4lb dog... 😅)
Matthew took great care of my cat Nala and my home while I was away. He was very thorough on making sure he understood the instructions and wasn't afraid to ask questions where he needed clarification. Nala seemed to warm to him very quickly, and he was diligent in his care. He was even flexible enough to stay an extra night last minute when I had flight disruptions. I came home to a cleaner house than when I left and a safe, healthy kitty. Would book again.
Nadine is everything you’d want in a dog and house sitter: kind, thorough, caring, thoughtful, and diligent. Upon first meeting her, my reactive dog was completely at ease and warmed right up to her. That told me just about everything. When we returned from a long vacation, our house was in order but more importantly our dog was very well cared for and happy when we got home. Nadine is simply wonderful!
Becca was absolutely wonderful with our two Mini Aussies while we were away. Both of our dogs can be a little anxious, and one is reactive, so finding someone we trust is incredibly important. From the moment we met Becca, we felt comfortable and confident leaving them in her care. She provided thoughtful updates throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she was attentive to their individual needs and made sure they felt safe and comfortable. We also felt completely at ease having her house sit for us. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and a home that was just as we left it. We would absolutely recommend Becca to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter, especially for dogs who may need a little extra patience and understanding.
Sol took such great care of our kitties and shared detailed updates every single day. We have an especially interesting situation as both are cats are getting to know each other - so it required some extra effort. We also came home to a clean house and the kitties were so happy. We would certainly book again - thank you!!
Eunice did such a wonderful job with watching my buddy! She was very responsive, kind, and accommodating to my dogs needs and my travel plans. She was great at sending pics throughout the stay, took him on walks daily, and left my house spotless!! Would 10/10 recommend and hope to use Eunice again in the future!
