“Highly recommend Noah for housesitting. He took such great care of my pup and was very attentive to his needs. Sent lots of pictures and updates, which I love. And he left the apartment nice and clean when I came home!! Will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Sol was wonderful. They communicated well each day and gave regular check ins. Our pup looked happy and well cared for while we were out of town. They were also very respectful of our home and left it better than they found it. Will definitely book with Sol again.”
“Meagan did a wonderful job house sitting for Teddy. We came home to a tidy house and a happy dog. She was very attentive to him, provided thorough updates, and was very mindful of his needs as an elderly pup.”
“This is the first time that Natalie has taken care of my kitties and I'd definitely have her back. Fabulous communicator - kitties and house in great shape upon my return.”
“Jade was awesome, she stayed the weekend at our place and took care of our senior golden lab while we were away. I was a bit apprehensive since this was our first time leaving him with someone we had just met but Jade put us at ease and did a great job taking care of the Colt and the house, will book again!.”
“Tassia has taken care of our four pets on three occasions and we plan on continuing to hire her. She’s incredibly quick to respond, doesn’t hesitate to ask questions about care instructions and reads our really long instructions throughly. I know this because she read them the day before the pet sitting date and followed up quickly. That really brings me a sense of relief since we have an older geriatric dog that needs a lot of pills, diaper changes and help going down the stairs. Our pets love her too. When she came by to return the keys once our dog Izzy immediate recognized her and couldn’t contain herself. If you are a pet owner with a lot of anxiety leaving your pets alone for vacation, you will be in good hands with Tassia.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and chose to adopt a cat 9 years ago. I have experience caring for animals with additional needs such as daily medication and a strict diet. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs totaling around 20 years. I am currently a student with a flexible schedule. This allows me to conform to any necessary schedules a pet may need day to day. I care for pets by first ensuring that they are comfortable and once they are comfortable my next goal is to make their time enjoyable.
“I had a great experience having Victoria watch my boy Ash. Her communication was excellent, she arrived on time, and took great care of Ash. I would happily have her watch him again!”
“So glad we found Laura for our recent trip! She did such an amazing job with our senior dog and sent plenty of updates and pics. She was very professional and trustworthy!! We will definitely contact Laura again any time we need a sitter!”
“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!”
“Ian was really great! Cormac has always taken a minute to warm up to people, but I did not expect him to take several days. Ian was amazing and patient with Cormac, he really did not push and made sure to communicate with me and make sure he was doing best by Cormac. Honestly, my only expectation because of Cormacs shyness was that he kept Cormac fed and walked. But Ian still went above and beyond, my first walk with Cormac was probably one of the easiest post sitter walks that I have been on. Without having to be told it was obvious that Ian followed all of cormacs on leash protocol. Could not have been more happy.”
“Lily was a wonderful sitter for my two pets! She stayed overnight at my place for nearly a week and left it in beautiful shape – and kept my pets healthy, safe and well-loved, too. I would work with her again anytime, and I'm sure my pets would be overjoyed to have her, too. She was so communicative and sent darling pictures of them throughout the week. Highly recommend!”
“Eunice was great. She took out our pups on regular walks, managed their medication, and kept in regular contact. We’re so happy she’s one of our regulars!”
“Allie was absolutely fantastic! She catsit my three cats in my home and was incredibly communicative and good to my cats. The cats had recently been introduced each other, so she had to perform additional work to get them to get along with each other. I came back to my cats getting along even better than before I left, and that's all due to how good Allie is with cats. She clearly has a lot of expertise from working with so many pets, and I couldn't recommend her more. I received so many cute photos of the cats while I was away.”
“Junbo is fantastic! I can't recommend her enough. She took care of my cat and high energy puppy when I was out of town for a week. She not only took my dog for a walk but took him to different hikes everyday. She takes care of the pets not just out of responsibility and accountability but also the enthusiasm and joy of being out with them. She truly enjoys the company and loves the pets she's tasked to take care of. She sends lots of photos and videos and gives frequent updates on their daily routine. Again, I highly recommend her for all the services that she offers. Will certainly hire her gain for house sitting. Thank you Junbo!!!”
“Leah was a wonderful house sitter for our 10-month-old puppy and our senior cat who has lymphoma. She was warm and professional, great with the animals and my daughter (who was very nervous about leaving our puppy for the first time), sent amazing photos, and checked in when she had questions. She even came over twice before we left -- once to meet us and a second time to watch us give our cat his oral medication. Both our puppy and cat seemed extremely happy with the whole arrangement! We'd definitely hire her again!”
“Jaylin & Isaiah were great from the start. They asked great questions during our meet & greet, and also took amazing care of our two pups. I could tell our pups were sad when we left, but they looked very happy and at ease in the photos updates sent. I would definitely book with them again!”
“Danielle was incredible. We had an issue with our original house sitter walking out on us on Christmas day, and had to book same day care starting on Christmas day. Danielle was truly a life saver, agreeing to house sit and care for our dogs even without a meet and greet or getting to see the house before agreeing, since we were already out of state. She was clear with communication, willing to be flexible, and sent cute pictures of our dogs, so we were able to rest easy knowing they were well looked after. Then, when our flights got delayed and we weren't going to be able to get back on our original return date, she once again came through for us and agreed to stay an extra night, so we didn't have to worry about our dogs being alone in the house without potty breaks overnight and during the day. She really saved our Christmas!”
Montlake pet parents share their Rover experiences
My old man-child who I have loved and cared for for over 20 years usually takes a few days to warm up to people. He immediately fell for Kennedy. She is a cat Mama, herself, and it is as if he instinctively knew that about her. She has that chill, peaceful vibe naturally that cats are drawn to. I am so thrilled with the way the two of them hit it off, and really....how much he trusts her is truly the most important thing. I can't recommend her highly enough!
Egor watched our two young aussies in our home for 7 days as they have never been away from my retired husband. He patiently worked them through their anxiety at their own pace, eventually getting them back into their regular routines. He sent honest updates each day, letting us know the challenges and wins. He followed our instructions and left the house looking clean and tidy. I would definitely have Egor watch our pups again in the future. Thank you for taking on the challenge of winning-over these two opinionated pups!
Mason was absolutely stellar with a large, grumpy dog! I am always hesitant about who I let watch Salem. He’s a big, somewhat particular dog, who doesn’t understand the concept of personal space. He can be inadvertently intimidating. But Mason was incredible with Salem. He was attentive, sent pictures throughout the night, kept me clued in throughout the evening, and was a perfect house guest on top of everything else. I look forward to inviting Mason back to watch Salem again, many more times! Cannot recommend highly enough.
Stephanie was an absolute delight to have stay with our pets. We had a sitter fall through last minute and she was quick to respond and set up a meet and greet. Our dog and cat liked her right away! She was highly communicative and sent lots of photos - she also spoiled our dog! And she even spotted our “hider” cat even on just a one-night stay which is rare. I felt completely at ease knowing she was watching our pets and I will definitely be booking her again when we need help.
Jessica has house sit and dog sit for us two times. She did a great job both times. Our dog can be anxious, but he has really warmed up to her. She does a great job keeping our dog active and getting lots of exercise. She is also very responsive to any questions we have, and provides daily updates and photos of our dog. Our family had to change some travel plans, and we appreciate Jessica being flexible. We are very happy with Jessica's service, and would definitely book her again for dog and house sitting!
Adrian was amazing with our 2 pups who struggle with new people! He was patient and very sensitive to their needs while we were traveling for 2 weeks and they now love him as if he was part of the family. Highly-recommend for anyone with shy or sensitive doggos!
Sabrina & Daniel arrived on time at 6:15 AM - they connected with our dogs easily and took great care of them including taking them for a morning walk around the neighborhood- exactly what we needed to fill in until our long term dog sitter could arrive. I would definitely hire them again. Our dogs are a little high maintenance and they did a great job of helping them calm down and feel at ease.
Li did great with our dog. It’s always hard having to leave your best friend at home in hopes that others can maintain the same level of patience or routine, bur Li made it less worrisome with her consistent communication - providing updates, pictures, and honest feedback with reassurance regarding any concerns! She also took extra steps to clean the areas she used/take out trash and redid his lickmats even though we told her not to worry about it. We would trust to have her doggysit again if available!
Levi took great care of my kitten, Ghibli, while I was overseas. This was the first time I’d left Ghibli with someone else, so I was a bit nervous, but Levi made it easy. He sent photos and updates, communicated well, followed all my instructions, and left my place tidy. You can tell he genuinely loves animals, and Ghibli seemed to really like him. I’d definitely book Levi again and would happily recommend him to others.
Mandy was wonderful and we are very happy with our experience. She was very communicative throughout, and shared several updates including photos while we were away. As a first time sitter, Mandy took the time to truly get to know our dog, spent lots of quality time with her, and did not leave her alone for long. Finally, she left our home spotless and in great condition. We’d highly recommend Mandy to anyone looking for a caring, responsible pet sitter.
