“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!”

“Heather was amazing! Our cat, Zilla, was well taken care of during our week long trip, and absolutely LOVED Heather. We even made a mistake with our schedule and Heather was very accommodating, even with short notice. We highly recommend Heather for all of her pet services.”

“Jiru took great care of our 3 cats while we were out of town. She sent us pictures and kept us updated throughout our trip. We felt at ease knowing that she was there to look after our cats.”


About: I’ve had a dog of my own and regularly help care for my neighbors’ dogs as well, giving me experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of attention. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to older senior dogs. I’m a college student with an internship, which usually leaves me fully free on Sundays and Mondays (though this can vary week to week). On workdays, I’m available early mornings and in the evenings into the night. I prioritize safety, trust, and respect in every home I visit. I follow any instructions closely, keep pets secure during walks and visits, and make sure your home is treated with care. I’m also open to dog sitting in my own home depending on the pet’s needs and compatibility.
About: I have had the opportunity to take care of all kinds of dogs and cats since I was 15, it brings me great joy to take them out and have a good time with them! I work nights for the Bellevue School District so I am able to care for your pets in the mornings while you might be running errands or at work. I make sure pets feel comfortable and stick to their usual routine, whether they’re in my home or theirs. I follow all care instructions closely such as feeding times, walks, playtime, and any meds while giving them plenty of attention and supervision. I also keep owners updated so they know their pet is safe and happy.
“Teresa was great! She came over prior to my leave and met my little buddies, figured out the lay of the land and was super awesome at communicating throughout the entire time. I was really lucky to have met her and would definitely hire her again. Thank you Teresa!!”

“Agata was wonderful! She’s super communicative, sweet and our dog loves her! We are so grateful that she was able to do regular drop ins for our pup for the week we were gone. It was super comforting knowing our pup was in good hands. Thank you, Agata!!!”


“Jackie is amazing! She was dependable, detail-oriented, and easy to work with during her first week with our pup. She uses good judgment and provides the relief and assurance a new puppy mommy needs! She sent detailed updates throughout her days with Mr. Mustard and somehow managed to take perfect pictures of him, even though he is often camera shy. :) We've booked her for an upcoming stay and look forward to working with her in the future. Thanks, Jackie!”

“Martina went above and beyond to take care of my dog while I was out of town for work. This included belly rubs, snuggles, play time, and walks. It really felt that Martina treated him as if he was her own. She stuck to the agreed schedule and made sure he was happy. If another opportunity presents itself, I will be reaching back out.”

“Xiaoxiao did an amazing job taking care of my two cats! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about their well-being. I felt completely at ease while I was away, and my cats were happy and well cared for. Highly recommend her to anyone on Rover!”

“Jennifer was wonderful! She was communicative and provided plenty of photos of my sweet kitties. She had a nice description of her drop in visits with her. I would absolutely book her again in the future!”

About: I have over 7 years of hands-on pet care experience and currently care for my own dog and two cats at home. I personally trained my puppy, so I’m comfortable with basic obedience training, leash walking, routines, crate training, and positive reinforcement. What sets me apart is that I truly understand the patience and consistency pets need to feel safe and comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and behavior, and I treat every animal with the same care and love I give my own pets. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and run my own online business, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m usually home throughout the day, allowing me to provide consistent attention, potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship for pets. Because of my flexible routine, I can also adapt to different pets’ needs and schedules to help them feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I always try to create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for pets, whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in their owner’s home. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. At home, pets will receive lots of attention, supervision, and a clean space to relax. Since I work from home, I’m able to be present throughout the day and provide companionship and regular care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and focus on helping pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand that every pet has different personalities and needs, so I always approach them with patience, gentleness, and care.
“Zoe is responsive, kind, observant and thoughtful. She took care of Mako, our two-year-old cat, for a week when me and my husband were out of town. While a young and healthy cat, Mako has special needs other than food, water and litter box — he needs plenty of attention and EFFECTIVE play time. Zoe took time and patience to observe and learn Mako’s likes and dislikes in playing with wand toys, tunnels, etc. She also reads cats’ languages well and builds trust with them quickly. She always fully utilizes the 30-min visits. She goes beyond finishing the basic work to communicate with us and offer play time with Mako, who was never bored for a second during her visits. Zoe even walked with Mako in our apartment building hallway to provide him with larger space for patrolling (that is per our request — I believe Zoe will follow the instruction perfectly well if you required that your cats stay strictly indoors — the fact that a cat would walk with her shows how well she builds trust with it). We look forward to working with Zoe again in the future!”

“We booked with Mik a little last minute a week before our two week international trip when our initial sitter was a no show for a meet and greet, and we are so glad we did! Mik was professional, and excellent communicator, and was very flexible working together with a family member who was also caring for our pets; especially when new challenges came up (our cat was hospitalized the weekend before we left for a urinary blockage). She was awesome at interacting with our pets at the level they were comfortable with, and I could tell that they became buds by the end of our trip! ☺️ We also appreciated all of the pictures and details we were given during her home visits, as well as how Mik put in the effort to provide engagement and stimulation for our pets on a variety of ways. I would definitely recommend booking with her, and we hope to do so again in the future!”

“Scarlett did an amazing job taking care of our old lady Jelly. She followed directions thoroughly, gave her medicine on time and made sure Jelly didn't get lonely while we were gone. She's super nice, communicative and pays attention to the animal's needs. I highly recommend Scarlett (Wanqing) for your pets needs when you need to be away. Will definitely use her again for any upcoming trips!”

Newcastle pet parents share their Rover experiences
Heather, thank you SO MUCH for watching my sweet senior girl, Stellar, and on such short notice!! Between the various medications and her bathroom behavior, she is a very needy cat and you handled it all with aplomb! She was so happy and healthy when I got back just now, and I know it’s because you took such great care of her. 5 stars is not enough for how good of a sitter you are!
Sanuthi is incredible and very reliable. We have two finicky 12 year old cats and any changes stress out Simba. She was very patient, willing to meet him within his comfort level. She kept in contact through the visits, letting me know of any issues she was seeing, willing to change the plan on the fly. Kitties were in good hands and I am so very grateful for Sanuthi!

Zheru is amazing. She truly knows how to care for and interact with cats, and my cat absolutely loves her. She is incredibly responsible, reliable, and attentive. Whenever I’m out of town, I have complete peace of mind knowing my cat is in Zheru’s care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter.

Emily took such good care of our three kitties! She was thorough, communicative, responsive, and dedicated. She put so much time and care into ensuring our cats followed their routines. One cat needed medication administered, and another needed extra attention due to a recent medical event, and Emily went above and beyond for them. We are so grateful and strongly recommend Emily!

Our first time using Jennifer to check on our two boys. She was perfect! Great at communicating, always brought in packages, kept things clean, and the boys warmed up to her pretty quickly. And our request was pretty last minute so we're very grateful for her.

When we booked our latest trip, it was a no-brainer to have Zoe come back to check on our Frankie while we were away! Loved being a repeat customer of Zoe’s - she takes such good care of our kitty, and my favorite is all the incredible photos we get with every check in!

Jade is the most responsible person I’ve ever worked with. She is highly professional and truly knows how to care for animals. More importantly, she doesn’t just treat this as a job—she genuinely cares about my cats. She keeps detailed records of everything, which makes it easy for me to understand how my cats are doing each day. I would absolutely ask for her help again in the future.

Emily has this deep love toward the animals. That never changes. She understands the special needs some dogs do, like my dogs. She also goes above and beyond to support me and my dogs during challenging times. We are always grateful and feel lucky to have her in our life

We are so thrilled to have found Morgan for out two cats. Our cats are very skittish but took to Morgan right away. She plays with them and sends pics/videos of them for us. She is very easy to communicate with. We will definitely be using her whenever we need to be gone. Highly recommend her!
