1. Erica C.
“Erica did a wonderful job checking in on my cat every day for a week while I was out of town. I was so relieved and happy to to get daily updates and pictures. Erica was wonderful at loving on my cat, feeding her, and playing with her. Communicating with Erica was a breeze. She was very quick and responsive to all my texts and always pleasant. I have already booked her for some more check-ins coming later in the month. I highly recommend!”
2. Christy D.
“Christy was the perfect fit for our one year old, high energy puppy. Not a lot of people are able to keep up with her and also be able to provide the enrichment she needs! This was a very appreciated relief for Mother’s Day. 💛”
3. Alyssa H.
“Alyssa was wonderful with our cat. She was flexible to take care of my cat over the holidays and sent so many adorable pictures! She really was attentive and bonded well with our kitty - I would call her back any day for cat care!”
4. Tara W.
“Tara is an amazing pet sitter! She cared for my daughter's and my cats, six altogether, for several days. This was the first time all 6 were left alone so we were a bit apprehensive. She came at the same time everyday and sent photos and short reports on their eating, play etc. We could tell that she cared about them and was carefully monitoring their eating etc. She brought in the mail and offered to bring the trash bins out to the curb on her last visit. Because of all this care my daughter and I had a more relaxing trip knowing that our fur family was in great hands! Many thumbs ? for Tara!”

6. Puneet B.
“Puneet's kind and caring nature extends not only to her friends and family, but also to the pets that she cares for and watches. She has been a wonderful guinea-pig mom over the past 4 years, and has been an excellent dog sitter to different breeds. When dog sitting, she makes sure the pets have enough food and water, along with multiple walks and many belly rubs.”
7. Win M.
“Win is so kind, responsible and cares about your pets. She does her job so well! This was my first time using Rover and had to find someone kind of last minute to look after our lab with 3 drop in visits per day and one morning visit the next day. Mary and I had a meet and greet and went over everything asap. She is so responsive! After care started I can’t tell you what a relief it was to see Mary’s drop in notes and pics of my doggo smiling with her. Thank you so much Mary and thank you Rover for creating such a slick platform to find pet care!”
8. Nisa B.
“Going on a 10-day trip and leaving your cats behind can be quite distressing. However, Nisa took great care during her time with our cats, ensuring they were well-fed and remained active with their toys. She also sent us some delightful photos of the cats, which was greatly reassuring. I'd recommend Nisa to anyone in need of cat care!”
9. Tobi N.
“Tobi took great care of my kitty, Disco, while I was out of town for a week, sending me a picture or two with each visit along with a brief note on how things were going. Disco takes some regular oral meds in Pill Pockets and Tobi handled that just fine. Disco gives her two paws up and I’ll reach out to Tobi again when I need kitty care.”
10. Kallie H.
“Kallie was incredible dropping in on our dogs while we were out of town. She gave them lots of love, walks, and sniff work to keep them stimulated and worn out while we were gone. She’s reliable and so caring for our anxious dogs. Thank you Kallie!!”
11. Carly R.
“Carly was an amazing drop in for our puppy Phiona! I am super particular about who we entrust to care for our pup and she exceeded expectations! I was at ease and worry free while Carly was caring for Phiona. Will be our first call for future drop ins!”
12. Baylee F.
“Baylee was very responsible and caring”
13. Amanda P.
“Amanda took such wonderful care of our dog and cat during our week away! She gave us frequent updates with pictures and videos which made us feel confident and happy that our pets were well taken care of. She even got some holiday treats for our dog and he really loved the special attention! We will definitely go to Amanda for future pet care needs and would certainly recommend! Thanks so much, Amanda!”
14. Laura W.
“Laura did a terrific job! She did stop-in visits for our cat Mo, and we could tell he was well taken care of during our trip! She was very easy to communicate with and kept us up to date on his condition each time she stopped by! Definitely worth the money and will book again in the future!”
15. Danielle V.
“Danielle did a great job with my cats. They greeted her every day which says a lot because they are pretty shy around strangers. Reliable sitter.”
16. April H.
“April was fantastic, easy to communicate with and great to our kitties! I hope we can snag her again soon!”
17. Rosa M.
“Rosa is a certified dog lover and is highly capable of providing all the love and attention a dog needs to thrive. She is reliable, flexible, compassionate and loving to all dogs, whether small or big, short and tall, anxious or confident, or the shyest or friendliest fluffball. Without a doubt, Rosa will take care of any dog like they are her own and treat them with kindness and respect. In my experience and observations, dogs tend to flock to her and feel comfortable in her nurturing presence. With her nursing background, long dog owner experience and responsible personality, she’ll make sure to tend to their physical, mental and emotional needs to ensure the dogs are well taken care of and flourishing.”
18. Maxime B.
“I've known Maxime for a long time as he took care of my cat when I had to go on my many business trips. He is a kind and bright young man who loves animals, understands their needs and respects them. I wish him luck and highly recommend Maxime to propective clients.”
19. Elysia S.
About: As a passionate animal lover, I've had many pets growing up. Most of them were cats, but 13 years ago I met my dog, Tasja. She has been reactive, more so in her younger years. Training, exercise, mental stimulation, and consistency were important to help sooth her reactivity. It wasn't always easy, but I've learned a lot! I’m a fairly calm person around animals, especially when first meeting them. I have a decent understanding of their body language, and a lot of that is due to not only working with my dog, but also from working at a vet clinic. Working at a vet clinic in the kennels was one of the most rewarding jobs I have had to date and taught me a lot about how to handle and care for different temperaments/ages. *Currently accepting new clients as of Sept 2024!* My walking/drop-in hours are from 8am-dusk on Tuesdays-Thursdays. I’m not available on Christmas or Thanksgiving. I also will only be accepting booking requests from those who live in Tacoma. Safety and trust are two of my biggest priorities while caring for your animals. On walks, I remain observant of my surroundings, the body language of your pup, and use positive reinforcement. I keep my demeanor calm, especially around reactive/nervous dogs. I‘ll also have water, treats, and doggy bags with me. In your home, I respect your space. I re-fill water bowls and am adamant about making sure the door is locked behind me when I leave.
20. Jessica D.
“I cannot recommend Jessica highly enough! From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease knowing my sweet babies were in such caring hands. Jessica is professional, reliable, and genuinely compassionate about animals. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, ensuring I never had to worry. My dogs adore Jessica and it’s clear she went above and beyond to keep them happy, healthy, and loved while I was away. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind Jessica provides, and I will absolutely be booking again in the future!”
