“Shelby was a godsend! Responsible, attentive, and kind, she took excellent care of Fluffy Girl, our Siberian Forest Cat. She listened carefully the requirements and carried them out perfectly, filing a daily record -- with plenty of photos! I recommend Shelby.”
“Cait was fantastic! She has a very gentle and calm approach that our newly adopted pup was very comfortable with - he cozied right up to her. First visit went great and we know there will be more to come. Thanks!”
“Cindy is so polite, respectful, and kind. She's been helping me for awhile (1-2x daily) with my 8 month old golden retriever puppy since I broke my leg. She is very calming and soothing with an energetic pup, and has great training suggestions. She has also offered to help beyond just walking the dog since it's been hard for me to move around, which is so sweet of her. I highly recommend Cindy for any of your pet care needs!”
“By far the BEST sitter we've ever had for our dog! Always on time, detailed reports, cared for our dog as if she were her own! If you don't book her, it's your loss! She's AMAZING! Will be booking her in the future!”
“Kim was so sweet with my babies and they loved her immediately, which is not common for my pups. She saved me in a pinch after I moved, took great care of my girls, and gave me peace of mind knowing they were in great hands!! I’d recommend Kim without any hesitation!!”
“Matthew was great checking in on our pups and providing us with some peace of mind while we had to head into the city. During the meet and greet, Matthew was so polite and asked very thoughtful questions about the hopes/expectations for our drop-in visits. We came to home to happy dogs and wouldn’t hesitate to request him for future services. Thank you Matthew.”
“Tanesha has been working out great! She is reliable and always gives me a detailed note with pics on how the visit went. I feel 100 percent at ease with my fur kids in her hands. Happy to have found her!”
“had a fantastic experience with her who took care of my dogs while I was away. From the start, she were incredibly communicative sending regular updates, photos, and videos that gave me complete peace of mind. My dogs clearly felt comfortable 💗 I highly recommend her”
About: I love all animals! I have previously owned and trained a Belgian Malinois rescue and a lab/pit rescue. Both wonderful dogs. I am a navy vet, dog owner and dog lover. I use positive reinforcement training methods, and I know how to read the body languages of animals. I am respectful, neat, and I'll make sure you pet is well taken care of! I offer dog sitting, and occasional boarding services. You can rest easy with the knowledge that if you hire me, they will be my number one priority. I will communicate at least once a day, and more if requested. I live in an apartment and WFH full time, so I'll be able to provide ample attention to your dog! Not that they might need it because my puppy Orion will be begging them to play nonstop! I monitor play time continuously to make sure they get along well. Sometimes if a client's dog DOESN'T want to play I make sure Orion leaves them alone. He'll just be whining on the couch. No matter the size of your dog, I'll make sure they are safe and comfortable. Orion has had experience playing with 100lb German shepherds and snauzers to mini pinchers. He loves all dogs that will play with him.
“Thank you so much Natasha for a last minute drop in. I know he is in good hands when you visit. Your instincts with him are always spot on! Thanks again for another great visit.”
“Elizabeth was absolutely great. We have a very shy cat and on day one she established a relationship with her and all was good. She sent us photos daily along with a brief message so we never worried about our cat at all. I highly recommend her for cats and/or dogs. She is wonderful to work with and great with our furry family members. She will alway be our first call when we need our pets taken care of.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a boy (20+ years). My wife and I have a seven year old black lab that loves walks and playing with other dogs. My wife and I work full-time but have flexible schedules. Mostly available before 8am and after 4pm during the week, but can make exceptions! Will give your dogs long walks and have a great home for them to stay as well! If requested, we are able to pickup and/or drop-off further than 5 miles ($1.15 per mile). My wife and I have a house with a fenced yard where my black lab plays. She is very friendly and loves company with other dogs (my dog and wife)! I’m (Kris) currently working a flex schedule full time. It’s 40 hours a week, but I can schedule my own hours (for the most part). I can usually work around hours if given enough notice. We are unable to board your pets at this time as we have moved to a new location and decided to rent. We are more than happy to house sit or provide drop-ins.
“Took great pictures and kept me updated. Did the dishes since I forgot to before I left for my trip and other little things that needed doing around the house. I really appreciate her effort and her job well done!”
About: I usually introduce myself as Bailey – Irish Cream, Bailey – every yellow lab I’ve ever met, or Bailey – from WKRP in Cincinnati. And yes, it’s my real name, guess I was destined to be a dog lover! I grew up in the beautiful PNW with my grandparents, where we raised dachshunds and had a few beloved springer spaniels. One of my favorite photos ever is from my senior pictures—featuring Miss Margaret May, our sweet spaniel. Check it out in my photo gallery! My first dachshund, Corky, came into my life when I was 13, and he’s still with me today. He’s my heart dog—wherever I went, he went too. I promise to show your dog (or cat!) the same love, patience, and loyalty I’ve always given my own. These days, I’m a proud fur mama to: Corky – 16, Doxie, my heart dog Isabeau – 6, rescue Chiweenie and reactive spitfire Lillian – 6, rescue Tabby mix with an old lady soul Jinx – 8, gentle giant Bombay Nico the Freako – 4, rescue Blue Tabby mix and certified chaos goblin I have hands-on dog sitting experience with primarily small to large breeds, as well as cats. I’m confident handling oral medications, senior care, shy pets, and animals with big personalities. Whether it’s puppy zoomies or slow senior strolls, I meet each pet where they are and make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. I currently work at a school on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, from 7:30a.m.-2:00p.m and I am off Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Which means plenty of time for early morning drop in's, dinner dates, and scheduled evening playtime, snuggles, and walks. Wednesdays I am not available. When caring for your pets in your home, I treat your space like I’m an honored guest. I respect your routines, your belongings, and your pet’s comfort above all. To keep you connected and reassured, I’m happy to leave detailed notes about what we did during our visit—and send photo updates if you’d like. My goal is to make sure your fur babies receive the loving attention and quality care you not only pay for, but truly expect.
“Katija dropped in to watch our two shy kittens for a few days at our home in Poulsbo. She was very friendly, communicative, and made us feel at ease about being away from our kitties. It was our first time using Rover and I recommend her services highly! We will be reaching out in the future for any upcoming trips. Thank you Katija!”
“Alex is wonderful! She took the best care of my cat while I was gone. She is very professional, personable and funny. Really appreciate her watching Coco with only a weeks notice. Would totally book with her again! Thank you Alex!”

Zi Y.
“Zi was so gracious as to host my 9 year old cat for a couple of months when I had a sudden work trip. My cat is on the shy and timid side but Zi did an amazing job helping my cat get adjusted and comfortable and soon there were plenty of pictures of my cat snuggling up on the couch with her. Overall a great experience, Zi is very attentive and I think my cat is now even a lil more open to new people after seeing that theyre not all scary! :)”

Lincoln pet parents share their Rover experiences
Leaving a pet at home when we go on a trip has always been stressful for us. This was our first time using Rover and we are so glad we did. Kim did an amazing job looking after our cat while we were away. She was punctual, which we were grateful for, so as to keep our kitty's routine as normal as possible. We received daily pictures, as well as texts, on how each visit went. She was quick to respond to all of my text messages and just gave us such peace of mind knowing things were being done just as we would do them while were gone. We will absolutely be contacting Kim in the future for all of our pet sitting needs. Couldn't be happier!
This is the second time we had Jessica drop in on our two cats while we were out of town - like last time, we had her come every other day for a period of 3 weeks, so several visits in total. Each time she took care of the cats needs (food, water, litter), but most importantly, she spent time with them - playing with them, sending some pictures of them - all important activities to keep them enriched while we are gone. We have had previous sitters who just took care of the basics and were gone in 20 minutes, but Jessica spends another 10 or more minutes just engaging with them - which is so important to us. I cannot recommend her more highly - she is the best!
Katija took great care of our two cats while we were gone for two weeks. She became good friends with our shy kitty. She fed watered and cleaned litter faithfully every day and spent time petting and giving treats. She also sent pictures and updates everyday which we appreciated. We feel lucky to have had her. She was awesome
