“Sabrina and Daniel were awesome - super easy to communicate with, flexible when I needed to make a schedule change, and they sent the best ever photos of my pup along with their newsy daily updates. 5+ stars!”
“Natalia is a fantastic housesitter and cat whisperer! She handled my brave troublemaker and shy old lady with ease, sending pictures and comments every day. We were vacationing several time zones away in a place with limited cell phone service, and when things came up and we couldn’t connect immediately she just figured it out and handled it beautifully. We returned to a clean home and happy kitties. A++++++”
“We cannot recommend Elisa enough. We had to find a last minute dog sitter for about 16 hours and she responded immediately. Since it was so last minute we had to do a quick intro when she was coming to watch out dog and she was so great. Our dog can be nervous and scared of strangers but Elisa was perfect with him. She took him on several walks and even to get dinner. We will 100% be booking with her again.”
“Mason was kind and communicative. Looked after Sagan very well, and messaged me many cute whimsical things throughout my trip regarding Sagan and my plants. I came home to a happy cat, and a tidy home. I would happily work with Mason again.”
“This was our second time booking with Margaret and she was just as great as the first time. She is so communicative and respectful of our home. We know our dogs and home is safe with her!”
“Allie was reliable, responsive, & willing to accommodate our last minute arrangements as we were going out of town & our previous sitter was unresponsive. I really appreciated her communication throughout our time away, as I am an anxious owner & my cat was a feral kitten & needs space to warm up to new people. I recommend booking with Allie!”
“Marin is great! She was so good with our two dogs and sent tons of updates and photos! They were smiling and wagging their tails in every picture. We highly recommend her!”
“Maddie was great with our two dogs and watched them over five days. Our two chihuahua mixes can be difficult and slow to warm to people, but she had no issues. Our place was well taken care of and we’d recommend her to anyone looking for a dog/house sitter.”
“Josephine was great with our pups over the weekend, actively communicating during her stay and leaving the house in great condition! Will definitely ask her to watch our two dogs again in the future.”
“Wren was amazing! My dog had some health complications during her stay, and Wren was incredible at accommodating vet visits, being flexible, and caring for my dog. She also has a incredibly patient demeanor that dogs are immediately attracted too. Ten out of ten, would recommend!”
“Alex did a phenomenal job taking care of our cat Pete while we were out of town. He sent regular updates and was very easy to communicate with. Since we live in the same neighborhood, we were able to work out a schedule that was conducive to both of us and we felt at ease knowing our beloved Pete was in great hands!”
“Jasmine was so wonderful with my kitten! She really loved him, I could tell he was well cared for and had lots of playtime and stimulation! I got back from a trip to a happy and content cat, and I know that means he had a loving Sitter while I was away. Absolutely recommend Jasmine, she was wonderful!”
“Cassandra was very communicative,friendly, and responsible. She took great care out of two dogs. We loved the photo updates and knowing our dogs were safe and happy. We hope she will be able to watch them again & we would be happy to reccomend her!”
“Leah took wonderful care of Andre while my husband and I were traveling over the holidays. Andre has mobility issues, needs daily medication and cannot maneuver stairs. Leah sent updates every day with photos and/or video and kept us updated on his eating and activity.”

Montlake pet parents share their Rover experiences
Yali was amazing while she watched my dog and cat. She kept me updated the entire time by communicating consistently and sending lots of pics/videos. She treated both pets extremely well and I could instantly tell that they fell in love with her. She also graciously agreed to a last minute extra night stay which I really appreciate. I will definitely be booking with her again :)
Claire was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my dog Charlie and my cat Ma. She took excellent care of both of them and kept my house in great shape while I was away. She was very responsive and kept me updated, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Claire also followed all of my instructions carefully, and I really appreciated how accommodating she was with my last-minute request as well as making time to do a meet and greet beforehand. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable sitter!
Abby & Mark took such good care of our precious Izzy! It was our first vacation without our Izzy so I was incredibly nervous. They allowed us to board her even though that is not apart of their offered services on such a last minute. We got pictures and videos daily of our little baby. Izzy loved them. 💕💕
Matthew watched my Havanese puppy, Kainalu, while I went on a weekend trip to the Bay Area and I honestly can’t say enough good things about him. Leaving your dog with someone new is always nerve-wracking, especially when your pup is like family, but Matthew made the entire experience stress-free. From the very beginning, he was super communicative, flexible, and made sure to understand all of Kainalu’s little quirks and routines. We did a meet-and-greet before the trip, and I could already tell how much he genuinely cares about animals. Kainalu is usually shy and takes a while to warm up to new people, but with Matthew he felt comfortable almost right away. That gave me so much peace of mind going into the weekend. While I was away, Matthew stayed at my place and was amazing about keeping me updated. Every day I got pictures and videos that showed Kainalu looking happy, playful, and relaxed. It honestly made my trip so much easier knowing my pup was in such good hands. Matthew stuck to his routine perfectly—walks, feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, everything—and it was clear he was giving Kainalu lots of love and attention, not just the basics. When I got home, Kainalu was the same happy little guy I left, no stress or anxiety, which is all I could ask for. On top of that, my place was just how I left it, which really shows how respectful and reliable Matthew is. It didn’t feel like I was coming back from a sitter—it felt like a good friend had been looking after my pup and my home. I HIGHLY recommend Matthew to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely great with dogs. It’s hard finding someone you can feel totally comfortable with when it comes to your fur baby, but Matthew is that person. I’m so glad I found him on Rover, and I’ll definitely be reaching out to him again whenever I need Kainalu cared for. He’s the kind of sitter you want to keep around long-term.
Lynsey is the best. We’ve had several dog sitters but she is the best ever! She really loved your animals and takes care of them. She knew one of our pups wasn’t feeling well and she even went to the vet for us. She took extra good care of her and sent us lots of photos and videos. We only want Lynsey watching our dogs.
Allison was wonderful and we’d recommend her to anyone! Both our pups immediately warmed up to her when she came over for a meet and greet prior to housesitting, and she was communicative throughout the stay and sent lots of updates and pictures! Our dogs can both be high energy and one of them is very anxious, but Allison put us at ease about handling their exercise needs and medications. We look forward to having Allison back soon!
Srujan was great with my two kitties! I had him stay overnight for a couple of days and he was very responsive. I also liked that he sent pictures. He asked a lot of great questions during our meet and greet and was very thorough. I came home to happy kitties and my home was nice and tidy. I highly recommend Srujan and will use him in the future!
Caitlin was absolutely fantastic with my cat. I made a last minute request before a trip and Caitlin responded immediately. She is very responsive and knowledgeable with pet care, and I felt very safe leaving my cat under her care. I received many cute pictures of my cat while I was away, and I could tell my cat was having a great time with Caitlin. I highly recommend her and will definitely look to her for pet sitting again.
Amy was a dream! She communicated super clearly and professionally, was immediately part of the pack upon arrival, was very comfortable with both Winnie’s older sister vibe and Cleo’s puppy energy, and sent thoughtful and helpful updates throughout the evening. Can’t wait to work with her again!
