“Kelly did an amazing job helping my quirky dog feel very happy and comfortable during the week she stayed with her! Kelly was communicative and sent great photos of Goldie every couple of days. She obviously has a lot of experience with rescues, and is very kind and patient. We will absolutely use her again when we travel!”
“Jennifer took care of our 1.5 year-old pup for a week while we were out of town. Everything went great! Pup returned to us happy and healthy, definitely would book again.”
“Marisol is the best! Last year, I had to board Conrad while I traveled for work. I chose a reputable doggy daycare and boarding near my home. It did not go well! Too many dogs and Conrad did not get any individual care, then got sick from it to top off the bad experience. So, when I had to travel this time, a friend said they had good experiences with Rover. Looking at profiles, Marisol and her home looked like a good fit for my senior little guy. Marisol, her home, and Twinkie were a perfect fit! Conrad struggles with separation anxiety usually, but Marisol’s routines fit mine and Conrad settled right in! I appreciated knowing he was getting lots of loves and attention through daily pictures and updates Marisol will definitely be our go to sitter when needed in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m a work-from-home dad in Tacoma with a spacious, fully fenced yard and a calm home environment perfect for dogs that need peace, consistency, and a little room to roam. I only care for one dog — or one dog family — at a time, which means your pet will never be around unfamiliar dogs. No pack dynamics, no stress, no surprises. This is ideal for dogs who are mellow, shy, older, or just prefer their own space. I’m a former Marine and longtime high school science teacher — calm, responsible, and steady. Your dog will get gentle structure, a lot of attention, and real companionship throughout the day. Whether they love sunbathing in the yard, laying by my desk, or getting regular belly rubs and breaks, they’ll be safe and happy here. Happy to provide updates and photos. I treat every pet like family — because I know how much they mean to you. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home, so I’m around all day to provide company and care. I like to start the morning with a walk/run around the neighborhood — it’s a great way for dogs to get some energy out and for both of us to enjoy a bit of fresh air. Fully fenced yard! My home is a calm, pet-friendly space where safety and trust come first. I work from home and spend much of the day in meetings, so the environment stays quiet and predictable — perfect for pets who enjoy a peaceful routine. I only care for one pet or one pet family at a time, so there are no unexpected animals or crowded situations. Dogs can nap nearby while I work, hang out in the fenced yard for breaks, or go for relaxed walks around the neighborhood. I keep things low-key, respectful, and safe — your pet gets attention, consistency, and a stable environment while you’re away. Whether they want to play or just relax, I make sure they feel secure and cared for like part of the family.
“This was our first time having Brandi watch our eleven year old minpin/dachshund, Lottie. She is friendly, caring, trustworthy and reliable - and is a very good dog cuddler. Lottie was happy and playful (!!!) when we picked her up at the end of the day (she’s usually such a couch potato). She obviously had a wonderful time cuddling with Brandi and playing with Barney!”
“We were so pleased and lucky to discover Lydia as a fine sitter for our little guy. Her overview with Rover.com was exactly what she delivered and more. We were in touch frequently during vacation, she shared videos and photos of our pups playing, sleeping, lounging together; she was professional and courteous every step of the way. Literally, from the moment Levi met Lydia and Jasper, we were in! Thank you, Lydia, from our family to you and Jasper!”
“Josepha was so communicative and always sending pictures and updates! My partner was appreciative because I wasn’t complaining about how much I missed our pup the whole trip 😂 They took such good care of him and gave him lots of attention, and clearly they played hard because he was exhausted when we got back!”
“Our pup was left in good hands with Mollie, she updated us on him while we were gone and he had fun playing with the other dogs. He was super tired and happy when he got home.”
About: Dog Daycare is Mon-Fri, 8-5. I send photo pupdates and shuttle dogs home between 4-5pm. 🚙 I can comfortably board dogs up to 4 weeks and make sure they still have a loved and happy time. 🧡 I’ve been working with cats & dogs since 2004 and would love to fill your best friend’s day with their favorite fun activities! :-) I start my dog walks and drop in cat care visits as early as sunrise. And, I say goodnight to my last customers by evening. From the moment I step through your door, I am happy to follow special feeding instructions, play their favorite games or take a neighborhood walk.
“Lauren did an excellent job keeping me posted with Kiki, who has not been separated from me, especially for over a week her dog and my dog were very compatible. Kikilooked very happy and comfortable with Lauren. I appreciate Lauren being very accommodating and flexible with my drop off and pick up times I would have no hesitation to booking with Lauren again.”
“Kelly was great with our little one, she frequently reached out to us with photos and videos, assuring us that she had settled into a routine and was comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Kelly again. Thanks Kelly 🙏”
“Jack had a fantastic stay with Mary & Hudson. They were both consummate hosts and Jack came home happy after his weekend. I got video and text updates and it’s clear Mary is attentive and caring with her guests. We’ll be visiting again for sure.”
“Margaret was amazing. She sent pictures and kept in contact with us each morning and night. She sent pictures and made sure there was always open communication! Larry felt right at home with the other two dogs! I will be definitely using them again!!”
“Cheryl was amazing. Her and her sister took great care of my senior dog, and kept me up to date on how he was doing throughout his stay. He did well with the other dogs she was caring for and made good friends. I was very nervous about boarding my dog and she put me at ease with all of the photos and updates. I would highly recommend using Cheryl for your pet sitter needs and will gladly use her again if needed.”
“Amy was extremely flexible and easy to coordinate drop off/pick up with. She sent us lots of pictures and updates and our dogs seemed to have had a great time. We definitely plan to use Amy again. Thanks for taking such great care of them!”
“Cheysser and family were absolutely wonderful to our Bandit! :) He was spoiled and showered with love...lots of pets, brushing, hugs, treats, and he felt comfortable and loved. We received so many pictures and that helped us stay connected and feeling close to him while we were away, giving us peace of mind that he was in good hands. He is an older dog, and they were gentle with him and paid attention to his needs. Thank you thank you thank you for treating him like your own!!!!”
“Rebecca took such great care of our golden retriever! He is very high energy and loves to play and Rebecca made sure he had tons of fun :) would absolutely recommend her!!”
“She did very good at helping us feel comfortable leaving our Doggo for the first time. Got pictures of her day and she responded to the messages so quick. Was very patient and flexible with us too. 100% will book again”

Ruston pet parents share their Rover experiences
Andrea is absolutely incredible! I felt completely at ease leaving my senior dog, Annabell, in her care. She’s a natural with dogs — kind, attentive, and thoughtful. Andrea kept in touch often, making sure Annabell was comfortable, and I especially appreciated the photo and video updates. Her home is wonderfully pet-friendly, with thoughtful touches like stairs for little dogs and a fully fenced yard. This was by far our best experience with a pet sitter. I can’t recommend Andrea highly enough!
Lydia takes such good care of our dog, Rosie! She send some photo updates, which are so appreciated. Rosie comes back to us well-fed, tired, and happy! She was visibly excited when we arrive at Lydia’s place and happy to be with his new friend Jasper. We absolutely recommend her!
Mandy and Gregory were the perfect sitters for our 4 month old GSD, Fern. We left her with them for our first date night since she joined our family. Per usual GSD behavior, Fern was very standoffish with them for hours just laying by their front door. They still sent us photos and updates through the evening setting my heart at ease so we could enjoy a concert out of town. She finally came around towards the end of the evening letting them pet her and taking treats! I know over time (if they’ll have us) Fern will think of them as another safe space she can be herself around. Thank you both so much!
Haley cared for my dog as if it were her own. My dog was not 100% herself when we dropped her off and left for family vacation. Things got worse and the following day Haley took my dog to the hospital and then picked her up the following day. With treatment and excellent care, my dog was back to normal after a couple days. Haley kept us updated and was fantastic throughout. My family and I are so grateful to her. She’s the best! ❤️
Jess & Vince were amazing! They watched Louis for me over the Fourth of July weekend. I was very nervous to leave him for the fourth because he hates fireworks, but Jess & Vince took excellent care of him. They sent regular updates and pictures, and Louis was very happy to stay with them
