“We have used Rover sitters several times now and Diahann has been by far the best we’ve used and we will definitely use her in the future for our two small dogs. Our dogs are picky when it comes to food and admittedly kind of spoiled and high maintenance but they did great at Diahann’s and she provided us with plenty of pics and videos so we didn’t worry about them. They eat special food (mainly human food) and when they ran out Diahann took it upon herself to cook them chicken and rice (which is one of the main dishes they eat). We highly recommend Diahann — her rates are a bargain considering she is by far the best dog sitter we’ve found on Rover.”


“Tobi watched my dog while I went out of town and I was so happy with her! We did the initial meet and greet and she was super welcoming and sweet. My dog is a little terrier mix who has lots of energy and also some separation anxiety, so I am always a little nervous about new sitters who don't know my dog's personality. Also, my dog and I just moved here so this was the first time I'd be away from her, so I was even more nervous! But Tobi was great! She was very assuring about it all, and her fenced yard and her other dogs were great for dog Sadie. She was very attentive to Sadie's routine, and while I was gone sent me photos and videos of Sadie throughout her stay. She even gave me print-out photos when I picked my dog up! I highly recommend Tobi as a sitter and will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“This was the second stay with Frances for our German Shepherd dog and we are so grateful for the expert and kind care given to our boy. Zeus was happy, healthy and relaxed when we picked him up; he obviously had been enjoying lots of play time and attention, just like his first stay with Frances. We sincerely appreciate Frances' canine knowledge as well as her cheerful willingness to accommodate our dog's special needs (food/medication regimen). Thank you Frances!”


“Kirstin was great!! I got great pictures & Kirstin was able to take care of my leash aggressive/defensive dog & my other anxious barky dog! Communication was great & I definitely recommend it!”


“Dennis and Lynn were awesome dog sitters! My dog felt instantly comfortable with them even though he tends to be anxious in new environments. We got a daily photo or video which really helped me feel at ease knowing how much fun my dog was having. I highly recommend Dennis and Lynn and will definitely be booking them again for future needs!”


“Absolutely wonderful with my puppy Dante. Good communication, friendly and sent me updates for peace of mind. I will definitely be using them again when I am out of town or need a break from puppy. Thank you!”


“Lena and her family are amazing! They are my dog's home away from home. He gets lots of walks and attention from the whole family. On his recent visit he stayed five nights, and it gave me so much peace of mind to see how happy and comfortable he was with Lena and her family.”


“The second I dropped Eddie off I felt comfortable going on my trip. You can tell Heather has a love for animals. Eddie is currently a very energetic puppy which can be a burden on some but Heather handled it was grace. When I picked up Eddie you could just tell he was one happy boy from him stay! Thank you, Heather!”


“Jena treated Duke like he was her own. She sent daily updates with pictures, took him on plenty of walks, and made sure he felt right at home. I could tell Duke was truly happy and felt like part of the family during his stay. I will be using Jena again!”


“Kana was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter for Boise! Over the course of two weeks Kana sent me photos and an update almost daily of Boise, they were wonderful! While hosting Boise for Christmas they even gave her a present and sent cute photos of her dressed up. Boise had a blast at their home and I’m so grateful to have a place for Boise to go when we are out of town.”


“Mabel got along with her dog really well! I picked her up and she was tired from playing, no behavioral issues. Alyssa was a pleasure to work with & took great care of my baby.”



“Amy and her family are great! Our puppy Marco immediately felt at home in their space and with their dog Winnie. Amy provided tons of pictures and updates throughout Marco’s stay. Thanks Amy!”


“Sarah was absolutely amazing with our anxious Frenchie. We got daily updates and she even offered to cook him some brown rice and chicken when he was too anxious to eat his kibble. She was prompt in her communication and flexible with drop off and pick up. We will absolutely be booking with her again, she was wonderful!”


“Our dog was right at home and comfortable when we picked her up. Nice updates and photos put us at ease while we were gone. Clean and friendly. So happy to have found a great home away from home for our dog.”


“Great experience! Highly recommend! Cheryl was very accomodating and understanding. She took care of Max for 15 days while we were away. Max was comfortable, happy, and relaxed. Cheryl communicated with me constantly, letting me know how Max was doing. Max felt at home while in the care of Cheryl. We are very happy!”


“Morgan was fantastic! Beau stayed with her for two nights and he was happy and healthy when we picked him up. Very good communication and attention to detail. We would love for Beau to stay with her in the future!”


About: Hi! I’m a work-from-home dad in Tacoma with a spacious, fully fenced yard and a calm home environment perfect for dogs that need peace, consistency, and a little room to roam. I only care for one dog — or one dog family — at a time, which means your pet will never be around unfamiliar dogs. No pack dynamics, no stress, no surprises. This is ideal for dogs who are mellow, shy, older, or just prefer their own space. I’m a former Marine and longtime high school science teacher — calm, responsible, and steady. Your dog will get gentle structure, a lot of attention, and real companionship throughout the day. Whether they love sunbathing in the yard, laying by my desk, or getting regular belly rubs and breaks, they’ll be safe and happy here. Happy to provide updates and photos. I treat every pet like family — because I know how much they mean to you. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home, so I’m around all day to provide company and care. I like to start the morning with a walk/run around the neighborhood — it’s a great way for dogs to get some energy out and for both of us to enjoy a bit of fresh air. Fully fenced yard! My home is a calm, pet-friendly space where safety and trust come first. I work from home and spend much of the day in meetings, so the environment stays quiet and predictable — perfect for pets who enjoy a peaceful routine. I only care for one pet or one pet family at a time, so there are no unexpected animals or crowded situations. Dogs can nap nearby while I work, hang out in the fenced yard for breaks, or go for relaxed walks around the neighborhood. I keep things low-key, respectful, and safe — your pet gets attention, consistency, and a stable environment while you’re away. Whether they want to play or just relax, I make sure they feel secure and cared for like part of the family.

“My dog Kenai had another wonderful stay with Andrea. She continues to be so comfortable with her and so excited to see her when I drop her off. I went over the care instructions with Andrea and requested a change to one area of Kenai’s stay. Andrea, as usual, was very receptive and carried out my request with care and fun. She always wants to give Kenai the best care and to follow each instruction given for her. It is so reassuring to know how comfortable Kenai is during my absence and that she is having a wonderful time. I thank Andrea with a heartfelt thanks.”



“Tracy and Mike are wonderful with animals, and my two dogs had a great time at their home while I was gone for 8 days. They supervised play with their other daycare doggies, and my girls enjoyed their outdoors deck and yard as well. I got updates and photos while I was gone, and I felt totally comfortable leaving my girls in their care. I will definitely use their services again!”
