“Natalia was perfect! She was very responsive, paid close attention to Pepper, and left my home in better condition than she found it. She sent pictures every day, and gave me a thorough description of how Pepper was doing every single day. I highly recommend Natalia! She is very caring and your dog will feel safe and cared for, and you will have peace of mind!”

“Adrien’s care of Linus (both physical and emotional) and thoughtful updates were just wonderful. The biggest sign to me of a top-notch dog sitter is how my dog is when I am back and walking him again on leash as he can be a frustrated greeter and reactive on leash, and my dog had improved! Already booking Adrian again.”

“Amanda is a fantastic dog sitter! We had a great experience with her watching our dog over the weekend while we were traveling. She was a clear communicator and sent lots of good photo updates. Our pup got lots of play and activity. I’d recommend her highly to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

“Natalie did an amazing job at communicating with us with updates and pictures everyday. We were able to enjoy our vacation and not worry about how our fur kiddos were doing. We will use Natalie again to take care of our three fur kiddos again!”

“Noah was great, he was very patient in getting to know Abby and kept us up to date on the progress. Abby did warm up and they became good buddies. Noah was very low impact, the house was as neat as it was when we left. I would gladly have him come back!”

“Our dogs love Lisa. We had her care for our two dogs and our home for 7 days and nights and when we returned they were happy and healthy. Our home was well cared for too. Lisa brings with her a calm presence and the dogs appreciate her care and her walks. Thanks Lisa! Chris & Cathy, Wallingford”

“It was our first time having Emma watch our shy dog Oso. She was great, good communication, house looked better than we left it and most importantly Oso was relaxed as shoot when we got home. Will definitely be reaching out again.”

“Oliva was fab! Responded to my last minute request very promptly and was professional and easy to communicate with. My kitten still has a lot of energy and she handled him like a champ lol”

“Junbo took wonderful care of my dog Emery, while I was away. She was incredibly responsible and reliable, and it gave so much peace of mind knowing Emery was in such good hands. Junbo regularly sent photos and videos, which I really appreciated - It was so nice to see Emery happy and well cared for. She was also very flexible and accommodating with our schedule, which made everything much easier. Communication was smooth the entire time, and everything went perfectly. I'm very grateful for the care she gave Emery and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Caroline was wonderful with our puppy! Her care for animals truly shows. My husband and I left our 3 month old puppy overnight for the first time and when we returned he was calm and happy. We are so thankful for her!”

“If you’re looking for an in home dog sitter, Jenna is GREAT! She kept the house clean and the pup happy. Our dog was very comfortable with her and content when we got home. I highly recommend Jenna if you’re looking for a sitter who is local to downtown Seattle. She sends pics and communicates quickly which is always appreciated while traveling.”

“Laura was super responsive and thoughtful while she took care of our home and our big sweet pooch. She did a wonderful job overall and I am very grateful for her help while we were out of town. We will reach out to her again in the future!”

“Katrina was so thoughtful and sweet with Cecilia! She seemed to really enjoy her and helped do some training sessions in addition to walks and spending the day with Cecilia. C is 10 months old, so we’re working on continuing training and reinforcing good behavior, and Katrina understood and helped during her visit.”

“Sol was wonderful with our dog and cat while we were away. And they left our house so tidy and clean! I know we will request Sol to stay here again for sure.”

“Lynn was amazing with our two dogs! Sent just the right amount of updates to keep us connected but not too many to distract from our vacation adventures! Our pups were looking for her after we left and our house was well cared for. We’d love to have Lynn house sit again in the future!”

“Julie did such a wonderful job watching after Tony while I was at work all week. Every day she showed such an incredible level of care for my pup that cannot be overstated. I was truly able to be at ease every day knowing that he was so well taken care of. I also appreciated her updates throughout the day as well as her level of communication by making sure Tony’s care plan was constantly attended to. She also respected our home while she was here and kept everything neat and clean. We will definitely be requesting her again in the future!”

Montlake pet parents share their Rover experiences
I trust Sierra to take care good of our elderly dog, Spice! We have been going to her prior to her joining Rover. I have such peace of mind while on vacation knowing that he is with her. She’s house sat with him for several weeks and provides regular updates and photos. My dog loves going to her and does not get separation anxiety when he’s in her loving and quality care! Strong recommendation and will go to her again!

Cassidy is a phenomenal house sitter and made our pup very happy and relaxed while we were out of town! She has amazing communication and provided ample updates and photos while with our pup, and was very self sufficient and respectful during her stay! From our initial meet and greet to coming home to a nice clean home after vacation, Cassidy was amazing the entire time and I’d definitely recommend her services!

We had such a wonderful experience with Ashley! She was incredibly communicative throughout the stay and gave me so much peace of mind leaving my senior dog in her care. Aries can sometimes be nervous and bark around new people, but he warmed up to her so quickly, which says a lot. There was even an unexpected early morning fire alarm, and she calmly handled everything — including carrying him down the stairs. I was so grateful knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again — highly recommend!

It was great to have Samantha watch our dog Charlie! She took wonderful care of Charlie and kept us updated with photos and messages. Very communicative while we were away which was very comforting to know someone very attentive was taking care of our dog. We’re very grateful and would highly recommend Samantha!

Dale is amazing! She's dependable, asks great questions in preparation, respected and took care of my place while she was here, sent photos of walks, was communicative about eating and toileting, and does a great job with working with Bentley even though he is leash reactive.

Maggie was an amazing sitter in our home - she took such good care of our Loki - who is a big dog and has been having some bouts of vomiting. Not only that, she sent wonderful updates and pictures and went above and beyond to leave our home clean and taken care of!

Margaret took such good care of our pups for a week while we were on vacation. She was super thoughtful of their quirks and helped ensure they had good walks with positive reinforcement. She also kept our house in very good shape while she was staying here. Would definitely book again!

Julie did such a wonderful job watching after Tony while I was at work all week. Every day she showed such an incredible level of care for my pup that cannot be overstated. I was truly able to be at ease every day knowing that he was so well taken care of. I also appreciated her updates throughout the day as well as her level of communication by making sure Tony’s care plan was constantly attended to. She also respected our home while she was here and kept everything neat and clean. We will definitely be requesting her again in the future!

Miles was exceptional; not only did her take very good care of our home and pets, he had the additional burden of taking our senior cat to the vet only to find out bad news. He helped facilitate our communication with our vet while we were on the other side of the world. Saying good bye to an elder pet is tough and miles made sure we were ok, both after we made the decision but then also we came home to flowers and a very thoughtful card. The dogs loved and adored him and the house was in great shape.

Aaron is great! He was able to help out after I got a new dog with some separation anxiety from the shelter life. He was amazing at walking her and checking in. We even had a little throw up situation in the apartment and he handled it for me no problem. Highly recommend :) he really helped me go on my trip with no concerns

Chris handled a very stressful situation with grace and compassion when my dog was hospitalized by another dog that got loose in the neighborhood - a repeat event unfortunately which was in no way his fault. He truly went above and beyond while I was out of the country during this incident and I cannot thank him enough for helping put my mind at ease as I frantically arranged travel to come home early. Even prior to that unfortunate turn, it was plain to see they got along famously, which is saying something for this very high energy, anxious animal. Highly recommended sitter.
