South Tacoma dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ethan took amazing care of our 3 dogs. It was very last minute, but the whole process for meet and greet, drop off and pick up was great. He also sent us a lot of pictures and videos during their stay, and they really seemed to be enjoying themselves. Thank you, Ethan! We will definitely use you again!
Elizabeth went above and beyond to care for our senior lab (14 years old)! We were able to bring his bed for his comfort, but Elizabeth also had many of her own beds for him to choose from. She assisted him outdoors when he needed a boost due to my dog’s limited mobility. She gave him lots of breaks for social time and fresh air. She followed his specific meal schedule with supplements and treats. She sent updates with pictures to ease our mind. We look forward to having Elizabeth care for our senior pup again. Thank you, Elizabeth!
Molly was a wonderful host for our Husky Ghost! She sent us photos daily of him doing different things and interacting with different dogs and he looked genuinely so happy being there! We believe he had the best vacation of his life in her car! We will definitely be utilizing her services in the future
Juli is an absolute gem of a dog sitter. From the very beginning, she was very professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. During the stay, I received regular updates, including photos and little notes about how things were going. It was obvious our dogs weren't just being “watched,” but genuinely cared for and given attention, playtime, and affection. One thing that truly impressed me was how well she handled one of our dog’s shy and nervous temperament. This dog can be slow to warm up to new people and easily gets anxious in unfamiliar situations, but she was incredibly patient and gentle throughout the entire stay. She gave my dog the space needed to feel safe, never rushed interactions, and built trust gradually. It didn’t take long before my dog started to come out of their shell, which speaks volumes about her calm energy and understanding approach. I would absolutely recommend this dog sitter to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and attentive. It made all the difference knowing my dog was in such good hands.
This was the first time I left my dogs with someone other than family. I was happy to find Ashley, she did a great job taking care of my 2 dogs. She has a clean, organized home . It gave warm vibes. The dogs felt at home and has a big yard for the fur babies. She kept in contact with me. Sent updates and pictures. I will use her again. Highly recommend Ashley
