“Matt did a great job and took great care of my furry buddies while I was out of town. I felt secure that he took care of whatever needed to be done. Matt communicated well and asked questions if something needed to be done outside of the normal routine. My dogs were well taken care of and everything was completed to my 100% satisfaction.”
“Candace has taken care of my dogs multiple times and has done an amazing job every time! Even when my super excitable dog won’t be still, she has been incredibly patient and attentive.”
“Jaclyn is amazing! This was my first time using a pet sitter and she made this experience completely seamless! She’s very understanding of situations and does a great job! She also sends tons of pictures of your babies ?”
“Exceptional caregiver and wonderful person - even delt with a stressful situation perfectly. Couldn’t have asked for better help and last minute, too! Flexible, great with communication, and friendly.”
“Kara was amazing for my weekend away with three dogs at home. She was flexible when the weather kept changing our plans. She was very communicative when she visited the dogs and she sent great pics. I would highly recommend!”
“It was clear from the moment she entered my home, Kelly is kind, gentle, and nurturing. She was patient as my 8-week old puppy got to know her during our meet-n-greet, always smiling and talking sweetly to him. After her first visit, her report of her time with my puppy was thorough and enjoyable to read. She followed all of my instructions for his training and routine to a T, and allowed me to come home to a happy, relaxed puppy. If you're unsure about going through a service like Rover, rest assured - You can trust Kelly with your furbaby.”
“Shelly was wonderful with our very anxious Shitzu-bichon!! He wouldn’t walk out of the yard with her, so on each visit after he did his business she brought him back inside and spent quite a bit time of time loving and playing with him. She was very communicative and took her job very seriously even checking in with us to make sure that a small change in the schedule would be okay. We highly recommend Shelly and will definitely book her again for our little guy!!”
“Sue was really friendly and flexible. Her calm demeanor was great for my kitties and she came as scheduled to care for my pets. Her communication was good and I felt confident she was looking after them well.”
About: I have worked at animal hospital for 6 years to be involved in treatment of dogs and cats after that, worked at veterinary University as researcher for four years. I'm currently working full time on weekdays, but my job is flexible. I am also happy to take care of dogs and cats on weekend and have your pet at our house over weekend. I can have a small dog at our house and take care of any dogs and cats at your house. My house has only one hamster that stay inside the cage, therefore there is no chance for your pet to interfere with other animals. Around our house, there is no busy traffic, therefore we can take dogs a walk safety.
“Sadie was wonderful with our pup! She was easy to coordinate with, sent us great photo updates during each visit, and made sure our dog got plenty of playtime and attention. We came home to a happy, well-exercised pup—couldn’t ask for more!”
About: I have watched dogs in my home, in others homes, let them out for potty breaks, take them for a walk, make sure they’re well taken care of! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule! I can come and go to let pets out frequently. Happy to give some extra TLC! I have a great neighborhood to take dogs on walks. I work from home so I’m able to keep an eye on any dogs that are staying in my home.
“Kelly was a superb help with a few drop ins this weekend! She really makes my dog happy and feel comfortable. Sometimes, my dog refuses to eat when a sitter comes over, but both dinners were fully gone during her visits. Thanks, Kelly for the visits, updates, and pictures!”
About: This will be your dog's home away from home! We have a large fenced back yard and one easy-going dog. Your dog will get plenty of love and attention here! I do contract work remotely so I am always home! Your dog will always have good company, a large fenced yard, toys, and plenty of love. If your dog is staying in my home they have constant access to a fenced back yard. We have one easy going, medium sized dog.
“Brandon is absolutely fantastic! We did a meet and greet and went over all of Willa's general info and quirks. He was super thorough in wanting to know everything she needed. During the actual drop in he was great with Willa! She has awful anxiety but did so well with Brandon. You can tell his experience in shelters really helps dogs connect to him quickly. He also sent multiple updates and photos during the visit, which was fantastic. I can't wait to rebook and cannot recommend him enough!”
“Cristina was absolutely wonderful! This was our first experience with Rover, and with leaving our pup home while we travel (rather than boarding with friends or family). Cristina came over several times in advance of our travel to meet our dog and familiarize herself with her daily needs, routine, and behavior. Our pup is very timid, so I was glad to have this opportunity to ensure she was comfortable and that Cristina wasn't a stranger to her. During our travel, we received short videos or pictures of our pup twice a day, giving us peace of mind that she was well looked-after. We would definitely book with Cristina again, and would recommend her to others.”
“Anna was great from our meet and greet to taking care of our 2 dogs. She kept us updated with photos and how they were doing. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Ava was so amazing!!! She always kept us updated and sent a ton of pictures of Beau. He loved the all the walks and visits with her. Truly appreciated her CB racking in Beau! Would definitely recommend her!”
“It is hard finding a reliable cat sitter but Ashley did a great job taking care of my kitty. She was punctual, followed my instructions and sent updates after each visit. Will definitely book again.”

Courtney G.
“Courtney took care of my two 65lb pit-mix dogs while I was on vacation. She stayed at my house, and dedicated her time to being with my pups, who were so happy to have her! Both dogs take medication twice a day, and she administered it with no problems. The one dog was having issues with happy-tail syndrome and she took care of his medical needs in addition. Our travel on the way home was delayed by a whole day, and Courtney changed her schedule to stay the additional day/night. My house was in beautiful shape when I came home, and I couldn’t have been happier with how Courtney cared for my pups!”

Northwest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Brittany is an absolute angel. she took amazing care of my cat and always gave me detailed daily updates like letting me know exactly what time she visited, how my cat was doing, and everything she did from cleaning the litter box and food bowls to mixing his wet and dry food just how he likes it. she even made sure he got his playtime in, which i really appreciated 🥹 she’s also super flexible and responsive, always listens to any special requests and adjusts as needed. it made me feel totally at ease knowing my cat was in good care. the photos she sent were such a comfort, and i could tell she genuinely cared about my cat and treated him like her own. couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!! 💛🐾
Elise writes detailed notes that make you feel like you’re right there. She arrives on time and provides an ann update and photo on each cat in the house. She’s organized, professional, and personable. I felt comfortable leaving my pets in her care and would highly recommend her!
Brandon R. Is a wonderful dog handler. He is very kind, has an abundance of patience and is loving. My dog absolutely loves him. When she is with him, I have no reason to be concerned or worried. Brandon is also a consummate professional with excellent manners which, in my book, are important. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a handler/dog sitter.
Sarah has taken care of my cats twice while I’ve been out of town and has done a great job! I loved the updates and pictures I got while away. One of my cats is anxious around new people and I loved that he opened up to her during the visits. I will definitely rebook in the future!
