“Elise and James took such good care of Moss. She got many walks a day, got to play with the neighbor dog, and got lots of cuddling. It was so nice to know she was in such good hands!”

“It’s Zoie’s first time to sleep over for 2 nights and Daisha and Tam did a fantastic job of taking good care of my pup. They welcomed the guidance I gave them on how to handle Zoie and followed them diligently. When I picked her up, she actually wanted to go back to their house lol. Zoie didn’t miss me at all which is a good thing, that means that she had a great time with them. Zoie is such a happy camper when she’s with Daisha and Tam as she gets lots of playtime and tender loving care. I have booked another onboarding with them for a week next month! Thanks Daisha and Tam for treating Zoie like your own dog.”

“Laila, fit us in at the last minute and was absolutely wonderful! My chihuahua is a bit much for a lot of people and he has a very strong bond to me. He liked Laila right away and I was able to leave him with a peaceful heart. She sent me so many pictures and videos that I never had to wonder if he was being cared for and happy. She showed me without me ever having to ask. I have never picked him up from a sitter when he did not run to me and jump in the car ready to go home. But, when Laila brought him outside to go home he wanted to go on their usual walk and was genuinely sad to leave. 11 out of ten! He is so calm and happy I’m so glad Laila was able to watch him for me this weekend!”

“Another great stay with Maria and Kalyan! Their reliable care, 10/10 communication, and the TLC they give our Rhodesian Ridgeback sets the bar high among the rest. They are our “go to” sitter and we appreciate them so much. Highly recommend!”

“Leah and Leio (and their kids) were so loving towards Luca and went out of their way to treat him like family during his stay :) We received updates and photos often, which we loved! When I mentioned that Luca likes to look out windows during the day, they made efforts to ensure that he could do just that at their house :) Another thing I appreciated was how much info they asked upfront in our meet and greet in order to meet all of Luca’s needs and understand the manners/rules he follows when he’s at home (e.g. no table food, sitting & waiting before taking his food). This was very considerate and showed a lot of respect for Luca’s norms :) Luca got lots of love, lots of walks, and lots of space to roam during his stay! We would bring Luca back to stay with them in a heartbeat! If you’re looking for a family that will love your dog like their own and do everything they can to make your pup at home while you’re away, Leah and Leio will be the right fit for you.”


“Martha was so great with Simon.This was Simon's first time with a sitter and he is a rescue pandemic puppy. She sent us lots of photos and kept us updated throughout his stay. Already booked Simon's next stay with Martha!”

“Anhelina is the best cat sitter! She’s watched my cat, Simon, three times now, and every experience has been amazing. She sends me daily photo updates, is always quick to respond, and truly cares about Simon’s well-being. I always feel completely at ease knowing he’s in her care. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“I highly recommend Molly for dog sitting in her home. She did everything possible to ensure my anxious Chihuahua was happy and comfortable. He ended up having a great time! We will definitely book with her again.”

“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”


“While this 5 star review may read as alarming, we were in fact very pleased with Christopher and his response. We had a good meet and greet with Christopher and his dogs, our dogs played together and our dog Demi explored his yard area which we examined. Unfortunately when boarding her we learned something critical about Demi, the discovery process for which was very stressful for everyone involved. Our dog turns out to be able to jump to the top of a 6 foot wooden fence and walk along the top. We know this because Christopher was supervising and saw it happen. After she jumped down to the other side, he sprung into action. He was then able to corral her into another neighbor's front yard and called us as Demi was avoiding his attempts to recapture. We drove over and quickly located Christopher and the neighbors he had recruited and collected Demi who was happy and healthy. While Demi temporarily escaping to the neighborhood was shocking, Christopher's actions leading up to that were in line with our expectations and his actions in response were commendable.”

“Maria, you are an angel as always. There's no one I trust more with my tender, complicated little babies. Thank you again for having us at tiny-old-dog heaven.”

“My pandemic rescue dog stayed with Beth for 5 nights, the longest he’s been away from us ever. I was worried about leaving him for that long, but Beth did a great job updating us. I appreciated that and helped ease my mind. They were very patient and loving, our dog was in great hands!”


“Alora gave me a scare and stole chicken bones from the trash right before we were going to drop her off with Kirsten! We double and triple checked Alora wasnt going to need a vet visit, and Kirsten kindly accommodated a slightly later dropoff & some fasting + bland food requests the next day from the vet. That's thankfully as complicated as it got and Alora's stay was uneventful, but Kirsten kept this pet parent happy that Alora was in good hands and I was across the country for a few days 🙂 can't thank her enough.”


“Daria's the best! Took great care of my fur babies -- she sent lots of pictures and kept me up to date on how they were doing. They got walks and lots of attention! When I picked them up they didn't seem stressed at all. In fact, I think they had such a great time that I don't think they wanted to leave! I highly recommend Daria and will definitely book with her in the future.”

“We used Jennifer for boarding our dog and on the first night our dog started having some serious medical issues. Jennifer was very proactive about contacting me to let me know what was going on and sending pictures. My sister in-law ended up picking up my dog to take her to the vet and was able to work with Jennifer to arrange a pick up time. Since our time was cut short Jennifer was also proactive about helping me get a refund for the partial stay. Jennifer went above and beyond what I expected and I am very grateful! I am hoping to use her again in the future.”

“Rosalind was amazing with dog sitting my Shiba inu. He is a very high energy dog and she was able to make him feel right at home. Pictures were always provided and she'd frequently take him on dog walks. I believe he enjoyed his stay and would certainly book another boarding with Rosalind in the future, very appreciative of her help and service with caring for my dog for several weeks.”

“We are so thankful that our Koko was taken care of so well! Lots of great updates and pictures were provided during his 18 day stay. Communication was excellent throughout the process. We are so happy that Koko got a lot of exercise, play time and care.”

“It was my first time using Rover, and I could tell my dog enjoyed staying with Chuk. She sent daily updates and was responsive to all my questions. I had to drop my dog off early in the morning and pick her up late at night, which can be challenging, but she was incredibly flexible with the timing. Thank you so much!”

“Vivian took care of my two nine year old Shar-Pei mixes for the weekend. The whole process was seamless, from the initial meeting to picking them up at the end of our weekend Vivian was always in contact with us. We asked for pictures and Vivian had no issue with that as we received daily updates. The dogs seemed to really enjoy their stay so we will definitely use Vivian again.”
Rainier Beach dog parents share their Rover experiences
We loved having Jinhee and Ryan watch Teddy! They have the sweetest family. They were very accommodating and followed our feeding schedule and made Teddy feel at home right away. They were communicative and provided us with updates which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We 100% recommend them and will definitely book with them again!
Jamie was so wonderful! The dog sitter we had lined up had a last minute change and couldn't watch our dog and Jamie was able to swoop in and take our dog! My dog came home rested and looking like she got a lot of cuddles and fun times chasing rabbits. Her house is just perfect for dogs to hang out outside. Thank you so much!

My dog gets nervous when staying with new people. She was especially upset when I dropped her off, waking Chris up throughout the night. Chris was so super kind and patient about it and my dog got so comfortable so fast and ended up having a great time! So grateful to Chris for taking my girl on such late notice and loving on her so good! Also the photo and video updates he sends are top notch.

Deborah was amazing with DD. From the moment he arrived, she was patient, kind, and attentive to his needs. She sent lots of updates and photos every day, and I loved reading her observations about DD’s personality and little habits. It was clear that she took the time to understand him and help him feel comfortable in a new environment. Knowing DD was safe, cared for, and loved while we were away made our trip so much more enjoyable. We are very grateful for Deborah’s care and would happily book with her again. Thank you, Deborah!

Elise and James took excellent care of our dog, Buffy. Buffy felt comfortable with them right away and adjusted quickly, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She even enjoyed some snuggles on Elise’s lap! They took her for a walk and sent us updates so we knew she was doing well while we were away during her first visit. Buffy is looking forward to her next visit!

Taylor was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Flossie, during an 8-night boarding stay while we were out of town in Florida. From the very first message, Taylor was kind, communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly reassuring. You can genuinely tell she has a heart for animals and creates a calm, loving environment for them. She kept us updated consistently with photos and messages throughout the trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. Flossie clearly became comfortable very quickly — cuddling on the couch, relaxing under blankets, going on walks, and getting lots of love and attention. Taylor even figured out a little trick to help with Flossie’s picky eating while away from home, and it worked perfectly! What stood out most was how attentive and caring she was. Flossie wasn’t treated like “just another dog” — she was cared for like family. Taylor was patient during the adjustment period, incredibly responsive, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving our sweet girl in her care. Her home was calm, clean, and welcoming, and I truly appreciated the individualized attention Flossie received with no other pets in the home during her stay. I would absolutely trust Taylor again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate, reliable, and genuinely loving pet care. Thank you again, Taylor, for taking such amazing care of our girl 🤍🐾

Scout has stayed with Natalie & Jeromy through a handful of random work trips that have popped up lately (and I have them booked for a few more throughout the summer!), and every single time I’ve felt so grateful to have found them. Leaving your dog is hard. But somehow they make the sting hurt less. The best feeling is seeing Scout absolutely light up and run straight into Natalie’s arms when she arrives. You can just tell how loved and safe she feels there! Natalie is also unbelievably communicative — thoughtful updates, photos, little check-ins — the kind of care that gives you total peace of mind while you’re away!! Cannot recommend them enough.
