“Elaine was easy to communicate and very punctual. She sent photos of my dog on his walk and had no issues with my slightly tedious entry instructions to my house. I will definitely book her again!”
“This is the third time we've booked with Shaelyn and we're very pleased with her care of our two dogs once again! She follows directions well and is very thorough with communication and feedback. The girls look forward to her visits and are eager to greet her. She is trustworthy!”

“Megan was an excellent last minute cat sitter! She was very communicative and friendly :) Gaius tends to be quite wary of new people but felt comfortable enough with Megan to let her pet him and give him his medication right away! Megan even captured a lovely and hilarious action shot of Gaius drinking from the sink :) I highly recommend hiring Megan to take care of your animals”

“Lauren took fantastic care of my baby boy while I was on a big business trip. She always checked in and kept good communication, always sending regular updates and photos. She extends her care beyond the normal expectation not only the essentials, but spending time with the little ones, playing with them and making sure they are happy and healthy.”

“Rebecca did an amazing job caring for my cat while I was gone. 10/10. I could tell from the pictures she sent me that my cat was excited to see her and get all the pets!”

“Marissa is a fantastic pet sitter. My cats adore her and she gives them so much attention on her visits. I am always so excited to see her photo updates. My cats are not overly high-need, but she does a great job making sure their food is full, their water is fresh, and their litter boxed is cleaned. Marissa is very easy to communicate with and someone I absolutely trust with my pets. I have so much peace of mind knowing she will be there to take care of my best buds when I am out of town.”

“My Isla is not an easy kitty but knowing Kathleen would visit her gave me a serious piece of mind. Kathleen took the cutest photos, played with her, and sent me detailed notes after each visit. Finding someone you trust is hard. I'm so glad I found her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

“Jessica was great! She provided prompt and clear communication and followed my extensive instructions. We really appreciated her detailed updates and cute pictures. My entire pack was relaxed when we arrived home so I can tell they were in good hands. We will be booking with Jessica again on our next trip out of town.”

“Jenny is so great with our cats! We were nervous to leave because our senior cat needs to take a pill and other medication daily, but Jenny was great with handling it while we were gone. I know I’ll be using her services again!”

“Sophia was amazing with our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks while we were away. She is always prompt and very responsive with all communications. We loved getting pictures from each visit. Trust me our dogs are very particular and she was wonderful with them. 100% recommend Sophia for any pet drop in needs you may have.”

“Alex was great with our two cats! He took notes and was easy to communicate with the whole time. He was AMAZING with our shy cat, Moose. He helped socialize him and by the end Moose was allowing Alex to pet him. Which is a big deal! He was also great with our old man kitty, making sure he got his medicine on time and talking to him. We will be hiring Alex again on our next trip!”

“Cassie was great! She was very prompt when communicating and I loved getting pictures of my pup. He can be a little wild and it didn't phase her one bit!”

“Mandi was fantastic! She made sure my kitten got plenty of exercise and stayed active, and she was incredibly responsive throughout. I felt totally at ease knowing my pet was in such caring and capable hands.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for 10 years. Experience with dogs, cats and rabbits, including senior care. I have experience with administering subcutaneous fluids, oral medications, and syringe feeding. I’m a fully remote worker with a flexible job where I can step away throughout the day for walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. I love giving pets extra attention and keeping them happy while you’re away. I have a fully fenced yard and a safe, pet-friendly home with no other pets or children- husband and wife only home. Plus there’s a park nearby for tail-wagging walks and fun adventures.
“Amazing sitter! She had great communication and kept us up to date with everything that was happening with our pet. She sent pictures and messages throughout the day. We felt very reassured. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! 🐢”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 10 years. I was a dog sitter on a military base for years. Plus I have my own 10 year old dachshund that is my best little friend. There’s no such thing as a bad dog, they just all have their own little personalities! I’ve also volunteered in many animal shelters over the past 10 years. I currently work full time as a corrections nurse, however, I miss being around animals and would love to be able to love on doggies before work and on my days off. I work swing shift from 330pm-12am so I am available every day from 6am-2pm and I am available all day on Mon and Tues and every other weekend! I have a mini dachshund who loves other doggies and would gladly come on walks with us! I have a doggy stroller if your pup is older and can’t walk as far but you still want them to get some fresh air. I have no issues crating dogs, taking them on walks, playing with them in the backyard, or taking them to dog parks.
“I came home to a very happy and relaxed dog rather than a sick and clingy dog when left at a kennel. I received pics every day so I knew he was doing great. A great relief to me when I have to travel.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve had several labs and currently have a 90 pound silver lab that is a big baby. I enjoy taking my dog to the dog park and letting him socialize with other animals I think this would be a good opportunity for him to have more playmates at home. I currently work as a special ed teacher in the Vancouver area. I work in two hour blocks so it’s easy for me to come home and take care of the animals I have a fenced yard and a very friendly silver lab that would love to have a friend. The dogs are allowed inside and outside.
Northwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Katie is your ideal sitter. She is reliable, quick to respond, flexible and leaves informative updates. My cats also liked her and when we came home it was clear she had been keeping up with all the chores involved. She takes care of things without needing too much explanation which is nice when you are gone. Would 100% recommend her.

Linnea did an excellent job caring for our two kitties while we were away. She kept us up to date with detailed reports and lots of photos! We will absolutely be booking with Linnea again for our next trip. Thank you so much for taking care of our fur babies!

When I returned I found Allyson playing with Paloma on the floor. She had just fed her. What a wonderful thing to see. My senior pup seemed so content and happy to see me, but definitely has a new friend in Allyson. I didn't realize I wouldn't have cell connection on my cruise. Landing in ports didn't guarantee a text would work. Thank goodness I could tell from my computer all the visits. I now trust Allyson completely to make good decisions and take excellent care of my pup. I'm hoping she'll return!

Liahnna was an amazing sitter, and we’ll definitely book her again for our next trip! She communicated clearly and responded quickly, and it was obvious she truly cared for our pet like her own. She gave us total peace of mind while we were away, and we felt completely confident everything at home was in great hands. Highly recommended. Thank you again, Liahnna!

Michelle did a great job with her first drop-in visit for our two cats! Communication was excellent—she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We could tell she was attentive and caring, and our cats seemed comfortable with her. Would definitely book her again!
