“I was pleasantly surprised by the level and standarf of care Shaelyn provided to not only my dogs (which is the reason she was house sitting), but also to my home. I was physically away only three days but she made it seem like I was almost never absent. I received daily photos and updates and was assured many times that all was well and things were handled. She truly kept my mind at ease and even wrote me a handwritten note summarizing her stay. A most impressive note was that I came home to the same spotless house that I had left her. I will most definitely be using Shaelyn again. Thank you!”
“Stephanie is incredible!! She has great communication and sends a ton of updates. I could tell from the photos she was sending me dogs were obsessed with her! I could not say enough good things about Stephanie! We will 100% only be using her going forward :)”
“Thank you so much, Shannon, for taking such great care of our pups! We didn’t worry while we were gone, and we know the dogs had a great time and were well cared for!”
“Anthea was great!! She was very reliable and loving with our 2 doggies. She took them on walks everyday, and took them to the local dog park to play with other dogs. One of our dogs needs medication 3 times a day, she had no problem administering those. Every night she sent updates and pictures! The house was clean when we got home. She picked up the poop, took garbage out and brought in the mail. I would highly recommend Anthea to stay at your home and watch your pets.”
“Julian was amazing with my dogs. I have two rescues and Julian really understands dog behavior and body language. The dogs immediately loved Julian. I am so grateful to have had someone so skilled, kind, and communicative taking care of them. I was able to enjoy my trip with zero worries.”
“Flynn was great, we felt comfortable and relaxed while he watched our dog. He clearly has a touch with animals and especially dogs with anxiety. He was communicative and made sure everything was taken care of so we could enjoy our time away!”
“Olivine was absolutely wonderful! Our Copper was grieving the loss of her little sister and she really went out of her way to give her extra attention and cuddles. We couldn’t be more grateful.”
“Michaela brought such ease to us, since we had a lot of anxiety leaving our elderly girls. We haven’t lived in the area long and our previous sitter was not a great experience. Michaela went above and beyond to care for our little ones. Nami unfortunately rolled in some paint that our maintenance folks were messy with and she cleaned her right up. She left the most adorable pet art that I’ll cherish, since these lil ladies are our world. She was extensively cleaned up and even stayed an additional hour when our flight was delayed. I couldn’t recommend Michaela enough.”
“For an entire year I had a 23-day trip booked and because I had moved away from my best dog sitter in Renton, WA, and needed to find a new dog sitter who lived in Vancouver, WA, I was getting worried. My dog Sammi was almost 15 years old and quite a needy (but sweet) dog. I found Pat and was very happy with the time, care and love she gave my elderly girl. Sammi did extremely well while in Pat's care and Pat sent me pictures of Sammi at Starbucks and shopping. Sammi needed a caring and loving adult sitter and we definitely found one in Pat! I would recommend Pat for anybody needing that perfect sitter! ”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! We have 5 dogs & 6 cats and were going out of town for over a week. Usually family watches them but one of our dogs has developed medical problems they’re not comfortable managing. Selma saved the day!! She has a history in veterinary medicine and handled my dog's health needs with ease. I felt so at ease knowing she was taken care of while I was gone. Even with 11 pets Selma managed to give them all individual attention, and she did a lot of extra tasks to make sure our home was clean and ready for us when we came back. I’m endlessly grateful, and Selma is worth every penny if you’re considering booking with her!”
“Hayden took excellent care of my dog Cairo when I was away. He did a great job making me feel like he was taking care of his own pet. 5 stars!! The animals are drawn to him!”
“Heather has stayed in my home with my two pups at least a half dozen times (maybe even more?). It’s nice to be able to relax while on vacation knowing my babies are well cared for. I never have to worry about a thing!”
“We highly recommend Cora to watch your fuzzballs. She showed up on time, was communicative, sent updates, and the puppy was very happy when we got home. Thanks Cora!”

Northwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alex is the best! We needed help with our three cats with very little scheduling notice, and Alex stepped up to help. He took notes while I went over their routine, and I could tell he took caring for them very seriously. He even agreed to bringing in our mail and watering some plants. One of our cats is diabetic and needs insulin injections twice daily, and she was also on an oral antibiotic. Alex updated us regularly about how the cats were doing, whether or not the diabetic cat was eating, and how feedings and medication administrations went. It really eased our anxieties with leaving our three cats with individual needs in the hands of someone so capable and trustworthy. Alex's professionalism and dedication to providing quality care for our cats and the house while we were gone allowed us to focus on what we needed to at that time. We will undoubtedly request his services for future cat care needs while we are away.
Hannah was absolutely fantastic with our pets- our dog and baby kitten. She looked after them, gave them lots of love and they were very happy after we gone for 6 days. We were a little nervous leaving our baby kitten alone for the first time, but Hannah was awesome- she sent pictures and was communicate with us the entire time. Highly recommend her for looking after your home and more importantly, your fur babies. Will definitely be reaching out to her the next time we need care for our pets. Thanks so much, Hannah!! -Jihan & Dan
AMAZING! We had to book for pet/house sitting relatively last minute after our original pet care plan fell through for a pretty long trip abroad. Kylie was absolutely the best. We received updates and photos daily and were able to rest easy knowing our dogs were being well looked after
Jenny stayed with our dog Oliver and cat Ringo over Memorial Day weekend. We had met with her a couple weeks earlier just to get to know her and were instantly impressed. She is very personable and was immediately at ease with our dog Oliver which we loved. We had a great conversation and talked about some of the difficult things with our pets and she didn’t have any issues. Jenny has a little more life under her belt (unlike some of our past Pet sitter’s) so we felt very comfortable leaving her at the house, able to handle unforecast things that might come up. I’m not saying she’s old, ha ha. Just saying it’s nice to have someone a little more mature watching our house and pets. Jenny was very communicative when we were on our trip. We got photos and videos daily and updates on how they were doing. My dog didn’t even look like he was missing us.She took him for daily walks and watered some of our outdoor plants as it was warm. When we returned, the house looked better than when we left it. Thank you so much for that! We will definitely use Jenny in the future. I’m actually hesitant to write this review because I don’t want her to get more popular than she already is! Good pet/house sitters are so hard to come by. Thank you again Jenny, Eric and Julie
Courtney was truly AMAZING! She took great care of my dog while I was out of town and went above and beyond to help him feel comfortable. She was an excellent communicator and was so respectful of my home. She allowed me to enjoy my trip and not be so worried about my Dino. I will definitely book with her again and only trust her with my fur baby!
