“Zach was great! He was was super proactive communicating with us and took care in accommodating our dog’s quirks 🙂 Will definitely be booking his services again!”
“Great experience overall! Lydia is very receptive to communication and is a natural with our dog Jasper! She has been very kind and helpful to us with the use of the Rover app. I will be sure to contact her again for her assistance.”
“Mekennah is such an amazing dog walker! She gives consistent, caring attention and leaves a detailed of her time with my pup. Even in rain and snow, Mekennah shows up and walks my pup—going above and beyond with extra-long walks just to be sure my doggie gets enough exercise and attention when I can’t be there. I highly recommend Mekennah!!”
“Aria is obviously a serious animal lover. She was great with our cats, who are usually very shy with new people. She was very attentive to all the specific needs our cats have, and I'd be very happy to hire her again or recommend her to others.”
“First time leaving my senior dog alone for a week. We decided to try a sitter on Rover, and we are happy with our dog and with the care that Jessie V. put into caring for Sammi, and for the house. At 15 years old, Sammi has messes, and I am grateful for Jessie's care in caring for Sammi, and for the condition of the carpet and floors. When we saw Sammi after being away for a week, he seemed happy, well-fed, and the room smelled clean. Thanks, Jessie!”
“Sophie was great with our cat. Reliable, even sent us a text when she notice a car missing from our driveway. It was a friend’s car who had come back to pick it up. I will definitely use her again.”
“Jessica was awesome with our two cats while we were away for vacation. She gave regular updates and followed all our instructions. We came back to happy cats and a well taken care of space. We’d be happy to book her again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 8 when I had my first dog. Since then I’ve always helped out with friends and family when they were on vacations or work trips. Since moving to WA, I’ve been doing rover for quite a few people - mostly here on Mercer Island. I’ve enjoyed it very much and gets me outside during the colder days! I work as a remote executive assistant, but requires me to be available during typical business hours, along with managing my FL airbnb remotely. Times before 10am and after 3pm on weekdays are best. Requesting times between 10-3 may be doable depending on if I need to be in person for anything. In your home I can do whatever is necessary and required of me to make your fur baby comfortable and loved! I enjoy long walks and am quite active, so getting out for walks will never be an issue.
“Jackie watched our 3 little kittens while we were out of town for over a week. She sent us pictures daily and updated us on how things were going. She helped us bring in packages, clean up after the kitties' messes, and was quick to respond to all of our messages. We enjoyed working with Jackie and would definitely love to work with her again when we are out of town.”
“Camille was fabulous! Stitch was well taken care of. Meeting before hand was perfect. Easy and flexible on the scheduling. I'll definitely have Camille back. :)”

“5 stars… great cat sitter . Better yet, great person. Toki took pictures daily ,communicated twice a day with me. I’m glad that we found Toki !”
“Cydnie did a great job of taking care of my hungry geriatric cats, kept me updated on how they were doing, and did not hesitate to ask questions.”
“I think Mel did a good job. Our Woody seems happy. I was amazed at the amount of fur she too off him, as I had brushed him often but was cautious about "overdoing" because my husband did that once and "drew blood" on his back, near his tail. Maybe this will cause his "urp'ing" to diminish. Judy”
About: I just relocated back to the Seattle are (Mercer Island specifically) from New York City! I was a dog walker there for 4 years when I wasn't acting, so my experience with dogs and cats spans multiple breeds and personalities. Most recently, I've pet and house sat for a dozen different families in the Seattle area in the past 5 months that I've been back, and it's one of my favorite jobs I've ever had! I usually watch 2-3 pets at one time, and I'm open to more. You can be assured that your dog will get a great deal of exercise when I'm caring for them. One of my favorite things in life is to walk in nature for extended periods of time, so if I can have a sweet puppy join me, I love nothing more. I like to go 2-4 miles a day. A few breeds I've worked with: -German Short Hair -Basenji -Labradoodle -Labrador -Chihuahua Mix -Beagle -Border Collie -Corgi -Australian Cattle Dog ...among many others! My work is part time right now, so I have a lot of time that I can devote to your pets. I have a very flexible schedule and I genuinely want to spend as much time with your pets as possible. I always like to set up a meet and greet before a booking, so that I can get to know the space, and your pet/pets in their own space. I like to always feed them when they are used to being fed, learn when and where they usually sleep, and play where and how they normally do. I want to make them feel as comfortable with me as possible. I'm a big cuddler, so if your dog is allowed on furniture, you can be assured there will be lots of pets and cuddling!

“Maya was fabulous. She was patient with Byjou and did a great job around little beastie 02. (My dog (beastie 01) yields to her majesty). From photos byjou is already slowly accepting Maya and that is wonderful to see as she is a rescue. Will definitely be requesting Maya again.”

Yoon W.Star Sitter
“I recently had the pleasure of using Monica's dog-sitting services here in Mercer Island, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! I have a young, high-energy Golden Retriever, and as any Golden owner knows, they are full of enthusiasm and can be a handful at times. Monica handled my pup with ease, confidence, and an incredible balance of friendliness and firmness—exactly what he needed. From the start, Monica was punctual, professional, and extremely reliable. It was clear that she has a deep love for dogs, but even more importantly, she has the experience and skill to handle them properly. She knew exactly when to engage in play and when to set boundaries, ensuring my pup had both fun and structure. Dogs have a way of sensing good people, and I could tell my dog absolutely loved her! Knowing my dog was in such capable and caring hands gave me incredible peace of mind. If you're looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and passionate dog sitter, Monica is the one. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”

Sophie did everything possible to make sure my dog was taken care of and happy! She was excellent at communicating! I would highly recommend her!
I recently hired Esther (again!) to care for my six cats while I was away, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Not only were the cats clearly well cared for and relaxed upon my return, but she also went above and beyond by sharing wonderful professional-level photography and taking care of small household chores without being asked. It's rare to find someone so thoughtful, reliable, and genuinely attentive. I highly recommend Esther to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate pet care.
Toki is absolutely wonderful! I’ve hired him twice to care for my 8-month-old Siberian cat, Coco — once for a short weekend trip and again for a 2.5-week vacation. He’s smart, professional, responsive, and completely reliable. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again!
Qiangnan is easy to communicate with and took good care of my cat when I'm away. She listened to the instructions clearly and helped bring in a package. Would recommend booking with her, she's very trustworthy!
Courtney provided detailed photos and updates, and followed every instructions! She took great care of my cat Ooni. I was able to travel with peace of mind :)
We love working with Emma and our dog Abby loves her too. She is reliable, great with our dog and does a wonderful job.
Angela was a wonderful sitter and helped take care of my kitten during a very difficult time (my older cat had just passed away). I am so appreciative that she communicated with me so much during my trip and even when my kitten was sick. I’ll forever be grateful for the care she took with me and my cats. Thank you so much! I would 100% rebook her.
Alison is wonderful addition to our “family” for our dog Murphy. We are grateful for her attention to detail
Veronica was super helpful, communicative, and friendly. I loved her service and will be booking again for sure. She cared for my cat so well and informed me if anything was out of the ordinary. My cat loved her too.
Victoria was amazing and I will recommend her to anyone! Agreed to meet up ahead of time, showed up to every visit and sent cute stories and amazing pictures! I could really tell that she enjoyed playing with my girls and was looking out for them!
Chelsea did a good job providing drop in visits for our dog Abby. She was easy to communicate with, reliable and our dog always looked forward to her visits!

Camille was great! We really appreciated the thoroughness of Camille’s communication and the pictures taken of our pooch.
Sarah was awesome! Got some amazing photos of our precious kitty! Affordable, on time, and did an amazing job! 5/5 will certainly hire again! Thanks, Sarah, for all your help!
Anastasiia was wonderful! Friendly, consistent communication. She gave timely updates and our pet was in great spirits when we arrived home after 6 days. We will definitely ask her again if we are in need!
Elan did great with two check ins for my dog Dakota! She’s got a hurt paw right now and Elan did great with the fact that Dakota was in a cone and needed her paw wiped down with medicated wipes!
Holly is awesome! She's sat for me several times and gives all my animals the best care and attention. I have such peace of mind knowing that they're looked after while I'm away and always look forward to her pictures and updates. If you need a sitter, I highly recommend!
