“Damian was fantastic with our pups and rabbit. He was responsive and shared daily pics/updates. He not only cared for our pets, but our house too!! We highly recommend working with him if you are looking for someone you can trust to take good care of your fur babies.”
“I can not say enough good things about Samuel! He was timely, and great with communication. The dogs were well taken care of, and happy. Our home looked neater than when we left. We will absolutely be using Samuel again!”
“Renee is ALWAYS the best with our pups. Puts our mind at ease while we are traveling. I fully trust her ability to take care of our dogs when we leave. She is so respectful and responsive. Constant updates and photos. She is my go to!!! We love Renee!!!”
“Jacob took excellent care of our three dogs for five days while we were out of town. We highly recommend Jacob and will have hi watch our dogs again.”
“She was great with watching our doodles while we went on a weekend trip! Extremely punctual and very responsive to any inquiries we had while we were gone. Will definitely book her again!”
“Alyssia gave me daily updates and pictures about my babes and her communication about everything was the best I have seen with a pet sitter. I can’t wait to use her services again. I felt very comfortable knowing she was the one caring for my babies while I was away :)”
“Vanessa was amazing! She took great care of my pups and stated in touch with me throughout her stay at my home. The house was clean when we arrived home too. Thank you so much Vanessa!”
“Ty was a great sitter. She kept me updated throughout each day and sent a lot of pictures/videos of my pup. He is still young and needed someone with patience. I was very pleased with the way she was with him! Would definitely book her again!”
About: I have had all sorts of animals my entire life ranging from dogs and cats to fish, birds, and reptiles. I have handled pets from young to senior. I have also had animals that had medical needs. I have experience on rover by helping another caregiver. I work full time 8-5/1hr lunch break. I am available mornings and afternoons/evenings on all days of the week. My lunch is flexible around 12-2, so drop ins would need to be around that time (depending on distance from work). All animals are provided the needs they desire. Love, attention, and food/water. The bed and couch are never off limits in my mind. When a toy is brought to me, play is always welcomed.
“Ashley is wonderful to work with! She’s on time and gives lots of updates and went above and beyond to make sure my pup was happy when it snowed while we were out of town.”
“Sydney was amazing as always! She absolutely goes above and beyond taking care of our pups! She takes care of things around the house by taking our trash bins to the curb and even stacks our mail for us. Seriously, she has been the best sitter we’ve had in a while!”
About: I grew up with a dog in my home. She came when I was 5 and died when I was in college. I love dogs and I love walking them to keep them healthy. I am experienced with taking care of them in your home or walking. I am fit and love to walk and would love to walk your dog. My black lab died a couple of years ago. He was 15. I loved to walk and play with him. I miss taking him for walks and playing outside with him. I am currently retired, but do enjoy volunteering with local community activities. I attend Silver Sneakers exercise program twice a week and enjoy staying active. I am available during the early morning hours and in the evening, but can make exceptions. I offer a dog walking service, however, I am open to pet sit in the home of your pet if needed. It can be for a day or longer. I prefer dogs of larger breeds. I had a black lab who has passed away, my friend has rottweilers and neighbors have a sheep dog and German shepherd who I get along great with.
“Cory gave us great piece of mind when we left our special needs dog in his care. We are visiting here in Virginia, from Idaho. We had a great deal of freedom to site see, knowing our fur baby was being well cared for! Thank you Cory!!!”
“Sharon was awesome throughout the whole process! She communicated great, gave me updates multiple times a day and took great care of my dog. I will definitely keep her in mind for future times that I travel.”
About: I provide a calm, attentive, and safe environment where dogs can feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I’m very present and mindful with animals, making sure they receive not just basic care, but also attention, consistency, and a sense of ease. I’m reliable with routines, including regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, and walks when needed. I also offer pickup and drop-off for convenience. While I don’t offer formal training, I’m patient and intuitive with both younger and older dogs, and I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. I’m available for daytime and evening care, including regular check-ins, feeding, and potty breaks every few hours. I make sure each pet receives consistent care, attention, and a calm environment where they can feel comfortable and safe. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where pets can feel at ease. I pay close attention to their behavior, needs, and comfort, and I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner. To maintain a peaceful and safe space, I work best with dogs that are well-behaved, house-trained, and comfortable in a structured environment. This allows me to give each pet my full attention and ensure a positive experience for everyone. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize consistency, supervision, and a stress-free atmosphere. I’m mindful, reliable, and always focused on making sure your pet feels secure, cared for, and respected.
“Kaylie clearly loves animals, and gives me peace of mind while I'm away from home. She is very responsive, flexible, and lets me know how everyone is doing while she is sitting. I come home to calm animals, not stressed out or desperate for attention.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my home and my dog Jet received! From the very start, he was responsible, communicative, and clearly trustworthy – exactly what you want when you’re leaving your home and furry family member and someone else’s hands. Jet was well cared for, the house was in perfect condition when I returned, and I had complete peace of mind in the entire time I was away. If you’re looking for a reliable, dependable young man to watch your home and pets, look no further. Absolute 10 out of 10 – I will definitely be calling him again!”
Northwest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jenna was amazing! She was friendly, communicative, respectful, flexible with scheduling and great with our little "zoo". All the pups and kitties were so happy and relaxed when we returned home from our mini vacay. Anyone would be in great hands booking with her.
Renee was a huge hit with our floofs, our one shy cat took to her very quickly and was allowing pets. Our cats were very loved and cared for whilst she was in our house, our house was even tidier than when we left! Renee went above and beyond in the care of our cats and house, we came back to very happy content cats. We will definitely be booking Renee in the future, I cannot recommend her enough.
This is the second time we have used Rover and we booked Gretchen both times. We hate leaving our cat Sammy, but knowing Gretchen is taking such loving care of him makes it easier. We’ve already booked her to take care of him the next time we have to be out of town.
Antonio sat for my dogs for a week over the holidays and as usual he did a great job! My dog Dexter injured his eye a few days before I went out of town and I was worried I may need to postpone or cancel my trip, but Antonio was so reassuring and helpful. He was able to give my dog his eye drops and even took him to the vet for a scheduled recheck while I was gone. Had it not been for Antonio I would have likely missed my trip. I felt comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands while I was gone. As always he was very responsive and checked in with pictures and videos. He even made the cutest New Year’s Eve video of the pups. Antonio really went above and beyond and I would be happy to have him care for my dogs any time.
We could not have asked for a better sitter, especially over Christmas. She cared for our dogs and cat for a full week during the holidays and went far above and beyond what we expected. Our dog Nemo can be very difficult with eating, and she was incredibly patient — even spoon-feeding him to make sure he ate. That alone meant the world to us. She handled all of our pets with so much care, attention, and kindness, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. She kept us updated, treated our animals like her own, and truly went the extra mile during a busy holiday week. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets, and that peace of mind is priceless. We would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and dedicated sitter.
Thank you so much for your care and flexibility with the meet & greet and with key drop off!! I really really appreciate that you spent so much time at the apartment with Eddie, it made me feel so much better knowing he wouldn’t be lonely 🫶🏻 thank you so much!!
Laulie was FABULOUS!! We took our first vacation in over 2 years and trusted our 2 large dogs, a couple of skittish kittens and our home! Not only did Laulie provide daily updates with pictures but we were able to see her interactions with our pups with a camera in the backyard. Our dogs loved Laulie and it obvious she cared for them too. Our kittens, who were not very sociable before we left, have been sitting our laps and wanting lots of attention. Thank you, Laulie. We definitely recommend Laulie for your pets.
