“Meghan was been walking our old little Shih tzu for almost 2 weeks now and she has been super reliable and great with our little man! I can tell from the photos that our dog really enjoys his time with her ! We will continue to keep her as our dog walker as long as possible.”
“Rachel is the best. I had never used Rover.com before and was hesitant to have anyone unknown to me be entrusted with the care of my pets. At our meet and greet, Rachel put my fears to rest. My dogs were well cared for during her visit, pottied, loved on and she texted many pictures and videos of them to me at the time of her visit. One of my dogs barks at all strangers, and with Rachel she did none of that but gave her kisses instead which tells me dogs know best the nature of a person. Highly recommend.”
“Caleb was a fantastic cat sitter! He was reliable and communicative. He sent us daily updates with pictures and most importantly, Caleb gave us peace of mind knowing our cat was in good hands. We'll definitely be using Caleb again next time we need a sitter.”
“I appreciated how professional and communicative Lydia was. She wrote very detailed notes from each visit and took adorable pictures which were nice to receive while I was away. I came home and could tell my babies had been well taken care of. I'd hire her again in the future!”
“I booked the wrong day and Maria was so accommodating and able to come last minute ! Appreciate her very much!”
“Really appreciate Camille for taking such good care of Jackson and my place. Jackson loved cuddling with her and the treats she gave him. Furthermore, she helped me wipe down some ant trail with vinegar when the leftover cat food attracted some ants. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to take care of their fur child!”
About: I believe that every animal deserves to be absolutely and utterly spoiled for all the love, joy, and let's be honest- therapy they give us. Every dog is a good dog, no matter how difficult they may be. Every unwanted behavior has a cause and it's up to us to learn how "talk" back and keep them safe by meeting their needs. That's where I come in! I've grown up with dogs my whole life and I've spent the last year fostering multiple dogs so I'm uniquely aware of the different needs of different dogs! I've had or worked with small and large dogs, deaf dogs, reactive and aggressive dogs, high prey drive, leash pulling, anxious dogs, and just generally high energy dogs. I would love to get to know your furry friend and hang out with them! *If there are special/extenuating circumstances that make my services unaffordable, please send me a message* I’m a grad student at UW with one year left! My schedule does vary from quarter to quarter but I always make time for the fur babies! My own dog thrives on routine and gets a 30 minute morning walk, 1-1.5 hour afternoon walk, and a few short potty walks as needed. I'm happy to maintain or supplement your fur babies routines! I'm happy to meet beforehand and make sure that we're a great fit and you feel confident in leaving your fur baby with me. I promise to treat them like my own and ensure both your and your animals comfortability and safety. I do have two cats but they have their own room with a door that closes.
“Mandy always takes great care of Spike & Sandy whenever she walks them or stays for an overnight visit. She gives them plenty of attention and cuddles!”
“Brittany was great! She kept us updated each day with pics. of our kitties. And responded quickly to our messages and simple requests. Thank you!”
About: I love dogs and have lots of experience taking care of them! We have had our family dog for 10+ years, and since moving to college I have frequently pet-sat for my mom and her partner. I also have taken care of many dogs for friends over the years. I am very comfortable taking care of 2 dogs at once and have experience walking reactive and high energy dogs. I am studying out of the country until the end of March, so I am unavailable to for any bookings/services until I return to the US. I can stop by to walk, feed, and let out your pets, or hang out with them if they need some company during the day.
“Great communication and attention to detail, best pet sitter I’ve had the pleasure of hiring!”
About: Will give all the love to your pets since I can’t own one! Great with handling pets with anxieties and making them feel loved and at ease. Understanding of special pet accommodations- let me know what I can do to make them feel most comfortable:) I’m currently working part time and am available every night and afternoons to sit. I have flexible work times so can come and go when needed any time throughout the day! I want to fit seamlessly into your pets life, making them feel as comfortable as possible with their anxieties of their parents being away. I’m comfortable with any accommodation to make them feel loved and less stressed! Able to provide house care services too!
About: I have been attentively caring for dogs and cats for over 4 years by giving each furry family member love and attention (not to mention treats!). I offer energetic play and positive reinforcement techniques, ensuring they’re well-behaved and confident. For senior pets, I provide gentle, attentive care to help them feel comfortable and secure in their golden years. I’m also well-versed in reptile care, creating the perfect environment for your scaly friend with expertise in their specific habitat and dietary needs. Whether it’s a playful pup, a lazy cat, or a curious reptile, I treat each pet like my own with love, patience, and expert care. Need someone to take your dog for a mid-day walk or provide care over the weekend? I'm here to help! My schedule is mostly open from Wednesday to Sunday, so feel free to reach out with a time that works for you. I’m happy to accommodate! Expect great communication, plenty of photo updates, and a trustworthy service. I respect your routines, follow any special instructions, and ensure feeding schedules to medication are carefully managed. I keep your home secure by locking doors and windows, and I make sure your pet feels comfortable and loved while you're away. Your pet is treated like family, no matter where the care takes place!
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for friends and relatives since I was a child. Over the years I have helped friends with their dog walking businesses while they were aways and dog and house sat for friends (and their friends/family) for years, so I have some experience in this field. I'm now hoping to do pet care more seriously so I'm starting a Rover account. I love working with all sorts of animals regardless of their size and I have experience working with therapy dogs, sensitive/emotional dogs, large dogs, small dogs and everything in between. I have learned how sensitive animals are to a human's emotions and state of mind, and I make sure to provide a calm and positive energy to the animals in my care. I believe the keys to a happy and well-adjusted dog are providing positive redirection when the dog is doing an undesired behavior and making sure the dog has daily exercise and mental stimulation. I am happy to do meet and greets ahead of any booking and discuss any questions you have in advance. I'm available for drop-ins or walks almost anytime (if it shows as available on my calendar) including early morning/late nights as needed. For house sitting, I'm available for overnights with your pet and can review my schedule for the days you request to make sure my daytime schedule matches your needs. In general, though I can do potty-breaks/walks every 4 hours. For dogs that like to go for car rides, I'll bring the dog(s) with me most everywhere I go and will leave them alone as little as possible. Since I have a small apartment, I do not offer boarding services unless it is a dog that I have worked with before who I know would be OK in the apartment. The dog would need to be kenneled when alone in the apartment. For taking care of pets in your home, I'm happy to work with any house-rules you have for the pet regarding rooms it is allowed to go in or any other special setup/schedules in the home. I'll treat your home with respect, and I am a single and quiet person.
About: I have taken care of dogs that range in age from puppies to senior dogs. I also have experience with watching over and helping dogs that have small medical issues. That has included tasks like feeding medication and changing dressing. I am currently a student but am typically free early mornings and late afternoons/evenings. I also enjoy going on runs, so if your dog is more high energy I can take them along! I will keep constant watch over your per and will follow whatever directions have been provided to me. If an emergency is to come up, I will immediately call the owner and figure out the best course of action to keep the pet safe.
“Elli is such a nice, calm and wonderful human! Our pups had a great time with her. I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone that they can trust with their furry family members!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have had my own Cavapoo (Toby!) since I was 13. I have years of experience walking dogs and dog sitting for families (walking up to 2 dogs at a time). I work from home, so my schedule can be pretty flexible! I’m happy to do morning, afternoon, or evening walks. I’m flexible on weekends too. I’m very responsible with pet sitting and have experience staying at multiple families houses to pet sit 2 dogs. I’m used to sticking to a feeding routine and walk schedule and am happy to update you with info/pictures each day!
“Annie was wonderful with my dog! This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous as a dog momma. But she was so sweet and walked me through what it would look like and treated my dog wonderfully.”
About: My entire life has been spent in the presence of all kinds of different animals! I have a very open schedule and would love to take care of any pet responsibilities. I have a very good relationship with every animal I come across. I like to be very active and loving with my animals, I encourage walking, hiking or a simple trip to the park with your loved one! I am a grad student studying my master’s in Seattle and would love the opportunity to help out with your pet! I never feel a dull moment when I am around animals and would love the opportunity to share an exciting moment with yours. Whether you need a walker, sitter or check-ins I can be very flexible to your needs! Thank you very much and I hope you can consider me. I am working towards my masters ant the moment and working part-time as a behavior therapist. I have a good amount of free time during the day and can be flexible! I always keep the dogs I watch close by and leashed to ensure their safety while going on walks. I will be trustworthy in keeping homes safe as well as tidy since I’m a bit of a neat freak!

7. Allie L.
“I recently entrusted my beloved Australian Shepherd girl, Snoopy, to Allie for five days while I attended a wedding out of town. I could not be more thrilled with the exceptional care she provided. From the moment Snoopy and Allie met, it was evident that Allie treats every pet as if they were part of her own family. She welcomed Snoopy into her home with warmth and enthusiasm, quickly establishing a bond with her. Allie took meticulous care of Snoopy’s dietary needs and ensured she received ample outdoor exercise. She regularly took her to the dog park, allowing her to burn off her endless zoomies, and making sure she stayed active and happy throughout my absence. Allie kept me updated with frequent photos and messages, which reassured me that Snoopy was being loved and well cared for. Her thoughtful communication and attention to every detail of Snoopy’s routine made my time away worry-free. I returned to a content, well-exercised, and joyful dog. I wholeheartedly recommend Allie as a pet sitter for your fur-baby! Her love for animals and dedication to their well-being is just paw-some!”

10. Bianca M.
“Bianca has provided attentive, loving and stellar care for my dog Miles whenever I have been away on vacation or out of town. Bianca would send periodic thoughtful text messaging status updates detailing his activities and how he was doing when I was away for extended periods of time. Miles is a senior large breed dog that can experience a little bit of separation anxiety when I am away from him. I had complete confidence in Bianca’s pet sitting/care abilities. I know Miles was in good hands and I wouldn’t hesitate to have Bianca care for him again in the future – Bianca is always my first choice if she is available.”

She is also an all around wonderful young lady - we have known her for almost all her life and she is a great human being all around!”

14. Andrew T.
“I have known Andrew since 1996. During that time I have known Andrew to take excellent care of his German Shorthaired Pointer named Tank who lived to a ripe old age, as well as his black cat Binx. Andrew has also taken great care of my three mischievous miniature pinschers. I've also observed Andrew taking care of many other people's dogs long before Rover was around. Andrew takes great joy in bringing adventure to animals' lives, from long walks to several different off leash dog parks, to camping when appropriate. Your dog will love spending time with Andrew!”
