“Alex was very easy work with. He let us know each time he came to our home & had a nice update on how the pup's were doing. We also appreciated the photo's he sent us. He made it very comfortable for us to go away for a few days. We would definitely have Alex come watch our pup's again.”
“We loved the care given to our Pearl. They sent pics and updates daily making our first time of leaving her home in our house less stressful. Pearl loved the visits as was evident in the videos of her happily playing with her toys and them. We will definitely be asking them to watch Pearl in the future!!!”
“Emma was amazing with our pets and kept us updated on all things happening while we were away. Would trust her again any time. Definitely will re-book in the future.”
“Teri is our favorite sitter. she is caring, kind, friendly and trustworthy. Also she spends time playing with my 3 dogs even in the severe weather. Plus she takes great pictures of my happy dogs.”
“Morgan was wonderful to work with. She is reliable and responsive. She was great with our pup and he seemed to have a great time. Will definitely be requesting her services again.”
“You will not find a better sitter for your furry loved ones. She let us know all the details which is a big relief because 3 of ours are seniors with health problems. They all were very happy and stress free when we got home. It is a big relief to know we can plan days out without worry now. Thank you so much.”
About: Hi, I’m Mary! Dogs have been a big part of my life for over 10 years! I’ve cared for everything from spunky little chihuahuas to a pack of energetic boxers. I’ve even cared for sweet disabled pups who need a little extra time and care. I love to connect with dogs of all sizes and personalities to make them feel safe, seen, and loved. I grew up with a corgi/german Sheppard mix and have been dog sitting ever since! I am an educator who is on summer vacation so I have plenty of time to spend with the angels with tails as wings (doggos!) Dogs have the space to free roam around the house. We have a fenced backyard and an extra room for dogs if they need time and space away from interactions. This room was my dogs room so it’s full of dog friendly everything!
“Sara is amazing! She’s reliable and our cat loves her. We continue to use her when we go on vacation and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a great pet sitter.”
“Alejandra was very attentive to Maple. We could tell she was very comfortable with managing her, and appreciated her attentiveness and professionalism. Our dog had a recent shoulder fracture that requires her to be calmer (no running, jumping, etc). Alejandra did a great job of redirecting her to stop jumping around. We asked for Maple to get her medication and bathroom break, but Alejandra went above and beyond with managing her. As a dog owner, I felt so relieved that Maple was in such good hands. Thank you Alejandra!”
“So happy to have found Shella on Rover. She was wonderful with my pup. Great communication and no hesitation booking another appointment with her again. If you're looking for an attentive person to help you with your dog, she's a great resource.”
About: Hey, I’m Alex! I’m a stay at home dad in Federal Way with a big love for animals and a full house—two dogs, two cats, and a kiddo who keep things fun! After years in remodeling and merchandising, I made the switch to pet care and haven’t looked back. I’ve always felt a strong connection to animals. They’re honest, goofy, and full of personality. After getting my own dogs and helping out friends and family with their pets, I realized this is what I genuinely love doing. Now I get to spend my days caring for animals, building trust with them, and giving them the love and attention they deserve while their people are away. Whether it’s a walk, drop in, or overnight stay, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and at home. I know every animal’s different, and I take the time to get to know their routines and quirks. Looking forward to hanging out with your furry best friend! I’m currently a stay at home dad so I’m available at almost anytime to make sure your pet is getting the best care it possibly can. I have a fenced yard and a dog of my own to keep yours company. I’m also very experienced at working with sick dogs and administering meds :)
“Afina was awesome with my 2 cats! I contacted her last minute, she was very accommodating. She's reliable, kind and friendly. She always sent pictures and added a note of how the cats were during the visit. I especially appreciated that she checked out my cat that had an injury a few weeks ago and gave me feedback on how that was looking.”

About: I have house sat and boarded several friends' dogs in my house with my wife. We own two cats and keep them in a separate area while we house the dogs. I work from home typically and currently in between jobs. I like to maintain whatever routine they have with their dogs. I usually walk the dogs twice a day, feed when recommended and take them to a dog park if given the ok by the owner. We have a fenced backyard where the dogs are allowed to run around supervised. For nervous dogs that we board, my wife and I will typically sleep downstairs with them because we understand they're in a new situation with new smells. I'm currently in between jobs, but am working towards projects in order to get my next role. That being said, I'm available for any pet care at any time during the week before 6:30pm. I would love to be notified at least 1 day in advance, but more would be highly appreciated. I keep the area clean of any choking hazards. Keep the kitchen and floor clean to avoid them getting into toxic food. There is a designated room that the dogs will stay in if I am not home. When I am home, they have free rule of the living room area where they can be supervised. I will not kennel the dogs unless that is your preference and that you specifically request that. You must bring kennel with you.
About: I had owned three doggies since I was young. I lost my last fur baby of 14year old in 2022. I am ready for taking care of doggies again! I am currently staying at home. I can take care of your pet from 9am-4pm Mon-Sun at your house or my house. I live in the house with fenced yard. I have experienced of taking care of senior dog or young dog. I can give them medicine. I live in the house with fenced yard.
“Josie went above and beyond taking care of our 5yr old cat Mina. During 2021’s freak snow storm she made sure to do everything she could to get over to our house everyday and made our cat had everything she needed. If you’re in NE Tacoma we highly recommend Josie for all your pet sitting needs.”

Minh N.
“Mary is very well known at our University as the go-to caretaker during her years as a student. The professors and professional staff trusted her with their pets. She created a huge impact at our University, naming her the student of the year for her hard work and dedication as a student and as a leader in our community, not only for her dog walking skills but for the motivation and impact she has made on our community. She has now graduated and still keeps in contact with the chancellors and professional staff. She's touched the lives of many, and I couldn't recommend a better person to take care of pets than Mary.”

Northeast Tacoma pet parents share their Rover experiences
Shella was the absolute BEST! She took the best care of our kitty cats. She fed them, cleaned their litter boxes and played with them. She was such an animal lover that our shy girl, Freya, even came out to say hello on the 2nd visit. Definitely plan to use her again. We highly recommend her.
I cant say enough great things about Allison and her husband! They took such wonderful care of my pets while I was away. From the moment we met, it was clear they were responsible, kind, and genuinely loved animals. They followed all the instructions perfectly, sent regular updates and photos, and went above and beyond to make sure my pets felt comfortable and loved in my absence. My dogs were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for when I returned. The house was also spotless, and everything was just as I left it. It gave me so much peace of mind to know they were in such good hands. I would 100% recommend Allison to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!
Sofia is wonderful! She is so communicative and followed our instructions perfectly for our pets. She sent great photos and updates at each visit and we were able to rest peacefully on vacation knowing our pets were in her care! We are repeat customers of hers over the past few years and will continue to book with her as much as we can in the future 😊
Taylor did a wonderful job providing drop in care for our cat Siena while we were away for 4 days. She provided daily updates and pictures, and when we returned Siena's fur looked great and demeanor was excellent. This showed us that Siena was well cared for. We would recommend Taylor and we plan to use her services again.
Nate took great care of my really difficult cat. I have had prior sitters tell me she gave them issues like hissing/growling or swatting if they got too close, but that didn’t happen with Nate. I noticed when I got back home she was a lot less anxious and aggressive than she usually is when I return and that is purely due to Nate’s excellent care.
