“From the moment we met, it was clear how kind, attentive, and experienced Jared is with animals. I got regular updates, photos, and messages, which really reassured me that my dog was happy and well cared for. When I came back, my dog was relaxed and clearly had been treated with lots of love and attention. I would absolutely recommend Jared to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

“From the first impression, it was obvious to us how much Annie loves pets and her job. The detailed questions she asked about things that even we haven’t thought about, or the detailed notes she took during our meet and greet assured us our pets will be in good hands. Her professionalism was once again proven to us when she notified us immediately of an issue our dog developed. We’ve already booked her services for our future needs and can’t recommend her enough.”

“Lauren, did a great job caring for our puppy Gunner, old grumpy dog Jack and our house while we were away. Both dogs being at very different life stages required specific needs and she cared for each wonderfully. She communicated regularly with photos and messages and left our dogs tired and happy and our house spotless. Definitely recommend Lauren to house/and or dog sit!”
About: We've had dogs all of our lives. We'll love yours like our own! Experienced with diabetic dogs, intact dogs, and pups with unique needs. Families continually ask us back because their dogs feel at home with us. We are attentive and provide warm, consistent care, and a bunch of pictures because we know the feeling of being apart from our dog family when we go on vacation. Home care opportunities are welcomed, and we keep your place super tidy as how you left it! We are currently just a one-dog owner as we lose our Rachel in January and are trying to keep our Sunny active/involved with another dog even if only for walks. We walk our dog 4x/day some shorter and some longer, but based on your dogs needs, we'll adjust accordingly. We live in a condo building so we have to take your dog out to relieve themselves. Depending on their needs, we'll go out at least 4x day or less if desired. We'll work with you to understand your dog's needs and we'll meet them. They will always be leashed and guided along your neighborhood or ours.
About: While I have had dogs in the past (I have a soft spot for Basset hounds and Doxies), I currently do not have any pets of my own, leaving me with plenty of love to give your pets! I'm well equipped to provide lots of snuggles and mental stimulation through a variety of pet friendly activities. Your dog deserves a vacation too, so making sure they feel safe, loved, and enjoy their stay is my #1 priority. References upon request and additional questions are always welcome. As a former dog mom myself, I also know that being away from your pet can sometimes be hard on you as well. So don't worry, I will send plenty of pictures your way to make sure you can see that sweet little pooch of yours while you're gone. I currently office from my home with some local travel during the day. This allows for ample playtime and potty breaks for your sweet dog. I will do my very best to adhere to your dogs schedule and ensure their safety and comfort. If anything strange pops up, I will usually just shoot a text so that we're all on the same page.
“Katerina was amazing. She kept the house clean, and our dogs were always entertained. She walked them for 45 minutes twice a day and sent us photos of Lory and Rosie every day. Definitely my go-to sitter!”

“Katrina has been so wonderful to us. Ben loves having her company & we love the peace of mind of having her home with him when we're away. As usual, she's very reliable, friendly, easy to communicate with, and we'll continue to use her services.”

About: I’ve grown up having dogs and cats my whole life! They bring me so much joy, and life is so much better with our fluffy friends. Growing up, I’ve been blessed with Shih Tzu’s, a Maltese, a labradoodle, a golden doodle, Siamese cats, a tuxedo cat, and a ragdoll. Besides my own pets, I have lots of experience pet sitting Dalmatians, German Shepherds, and indoor/outdoor cats. I love to spend time with them and will ensure they have everything they need to be happy and healthy. I also have lots of experience administering medicine. I promise to love your fur baby and treat them as I would my own. ❤️ I will talk to them, sing to them, and of course, spoil them! I’m a full-time musician and my week days are usually very flexible. I have shows during evenings and weekends, but I can always make time to check in on your pets for potty and feeding times. With my own dogs and cats, I know how important attention and quality time are for their health and happiness. I will follow your instructions on your pet’s needs, including walks, feeding times, treats, medications, and play!

About: Hello! My name is Ashley! I love animals! I will come to your home and hang out with your doggies or Kitties or any of them! We will have fun and take good care of each other! We can go to the parks, or just hang out and play there. I will cuddle all the time, if they want!
“Shhelby recently watched my dog when I was out of the country and did an amazing job. My dog was having tummy issues and Shhelby handled it so well, was very conscientious, and sent me thorough and frequent updates. She left my place cleaner than she found it and most importantly I could tell she really cared about my dog. Strongly recommend her.”

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages and breads. With a 14 year old dog at home, I’m well versed in elder care for pets. Additionally, I am very experienced in managing dogs around kids at home and on walks through my babysitting experience! I’m currently a college student, so I have great flexibility. I’m usually available everyday except Tuesday. I can’t wait to bring more joy to my week and your pets! My first priority is making sure you and your pet are comfortable. I’m flexible in providing whatever care is needed for your pet including walks, meals, potty breaks, etc!
“This was our first time using a pet sitter, and we cant really say enough good things about Chelsea. She was patient enough and was able to keep up with our high energy puppy. He liked her since he mer her at the meet and greet. Definitely recommend her and her husband Richard. You can’t go wrong with them.”

“Gabby is amazing—I couldn’t recommend her more. She watched my cat and dog while I was out of the country, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly truly cares about the animals she looks after. I trust her completely with my pets and will absolutely use her again. If you’re looking for a great sitter, Gabby is the one!”

Northwest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jacquelyn was so great with our nervous little guy, Tommy. He usually has separation anxiety when I leave him but he did better than usual with her. We are so grateful that my husband and I got to spend time in Disneyland thanks to her and calm, loving demeanor which kept our dog calm! We appreciated the cute photos she sent of him while we were in the park, it made us feel better knowing he was well taken care of! Thank you so much!

Tritia was hands down the best cat sitter we’ve ever hired. She took amazing care of our two cats and treated them like they were her own. She was reliable, attentive, and communicated so well the entire time we were away. She gave consistent updates, made sure they were fed, comfortable, and happy, and we could tell she genuinely cared about them — not just doing the job. Our cats can be picky with new people, but they warmed up to her quickly, which says everything. We came home to two calm, well-cared-for cats and a home that was left in great shape. We felt completely at peace during our trip because of her. We will 100% be booking Tritia again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, top-tier cat sitter.

Dawn hit it off with our moderately shy kitties almost immediately and it was no surprise when they quickly adopted her as their new cuddle-buddy. Dawn also took great care of our cockatiel and koi fish, and sent lots of updates with photos during her stay. We are so glad to have found her!

Holly did an amazing job taking care of our dogs and our home while we were away! She handled our dogs, two Great Danes (including a senior) with so much care, patience, and love. Managing dogs of such different needs isn’t easy, but she made it look effortless. On top of that, she kept our house spotless, which we really appreciated. It was such a relief knowing everything was in great hands. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a clean home. We highly recommend Holly to anyone looking for a responsible, trustworthy, and kind sitter. We’ll definitely be booking her again!
