“We cannot say enough good things about Lisa. She recently watched our little crew in our home over the Christmas holiday. We have a high-energy and sometimes very mischievous, Dalmatian puppy and two kitties. She kept everyone happy and healthy! She sent frequent updates and we had excellent lines of communication through-out her stay. It gave me peace of mind to know that they were all doing well (and that our puppy wasn't driving her too crazy :) Even though we didn't request or expect her to clean, the house was in perfect shape (maybe even better than when we left) when we returned. Notably, she was wonderful enough to stay extra days on short notice when we got stuck in a literal blizzard and could not get back as planned. I cannot tell you what a relief that was while dealing with everything else. My husband and I said many times through-out the trip that we were so happy to have found Lisa. We absolutely would not hesitate to book her again. (Emmitt, Dondi, and Quill approve of this message!)”


“We ALWAYS relax when Angel holds down the fort for us! He is very detail oriented and communicates every detail. We appreciate all the care and attention he gives our pups ☺️.”


“Brian did a great job with the kids in addition to taking great care of the house and leaving it in great condition when I arrived home from a business trip.”



“Erin helped us out in a pinch that required some extra communication and a handoff. She was professional, communicative and helpful, and we were confident that the pets were well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again!”


“Kelsie was so helpful for stepping in to stay with our dogs over a holiday. She was awesome with communication and seemed very comfortable with even our old dog who needs some extra support now and then. I hope to hire Kelsie again in the future!”


“Taylor was incredible! Great communication, very reliable, and left my house even cleaner than I left it for her. Would recommend, thank you so much for taking such good care of Lotus and my home!!!”


“Briana and Jamal were so amazing at taking care of our dog and home while we were away. They sent lots of updates that showed our clearly very happy dog having the time of his life. They helped him with his medical needs as well. We will definitely ask them to sit for us again!”


“Alicia is truly top notch and we are so thankful to have found her on Rover! Our dogs love her, she is great at communicating, and she always goes above and beyond during her visits.”



“Katie watched our pup again for a week while we went on vacation. She sent us lots of photos of our pup and her while we were away. I can tell our pup was well taken care of while we were gone. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our pup is with someone who truly cares! We can’t recommend Katie enough, she rocks and is always our go to when we need a sitter.”


“April was awesome blossom as our overnight cat sitter. She sent updates and took such good care of my cats and the space. I came back home to find them happy and cheerful. Would book again and highly recommend April to anyone looking for a sitter.”


“Ella was very kind, and accommodating. I had a last minute trip and she was able to meet me and the pets and when I came home the home was spotless and pets seemed so happy! (I didn’t get any photos of the pets while I was gone but it was only a few days so not a big deal). Definitely would book again!”


“Paul took care of our home, senior dog, cat and chickens while we were away for 10 days. We returned to calm, happy pets, a clean home and peace of mind. What a wonderful experience we would definitely recommend Paul to anyone and will be hoping he is available for our pet/house sitting needs in the future.”


“I am overjoyed with the care my babies received with Natalya! My pup can be a bit of high maintenance with anxiety and bladder issues. She sent daily updates and reassured me of how they were doing with photos and videos! She did over night visits and hung out with them in the day as well! She is so kind and respectful. I could tell my fur babies felt at ease and comfortable in her care! I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely request her services in the future.”

“Adam is eager to learn about dog training, which is important to us. He took our pet on adventures each day, and sent lots of pictures. He has good communication, and we appreciate his care for our doggos. Thanks Adam!”


“Elysia did so great with our pitty mix. She was super communicative and sent pictures throughout her stay. We came home to a clean house and happy boy. Would definitely recommend :)”


“Hannah was responsive and flexible. She took great care of our dog and sent pictures daily. We came back to a clean house and a happy dog! will definitely contact her in the future”


“Michael watched our 3 dogs and 2 cats in our home - which is a lot! He was extremely responsive, respectful of our home, and attentive to the pets. He took them out on walks multiple times a day. And his ability to be with the pets almost 24/7 was a huge perk. Will absolutely be booking with him again!”

“Brittany cared for my dog Poppy for 5 days and 4 nights. Nothing exciting happened while she was at my place, which is exactly how I wanted it. She spent a good amount of time with the dog (Poppy needs a high level of person interaction) and took great care of my place. Overall, highly recommended as a trustworthy person to watch your most prized possession(s).”


“Allen was great with our pets. We have two dogs more than 100 pounds each, a dog about 30 pounds and a cat. Allen gave us updates during the trip. The animals were all happy when we got home. Allen is very good with animals and our pets accepted her quickly. We would have her take care of them again, Doug Smith”

South Tacoma pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jensine was amazing with our home & kitties as usual! We can tell they feel very comfortable and she’s super helpful and reliable :)

Mollie did a great job watching after the girls! She went out of her way to get my dog treats I forgot to provide. She even went out of her way to clean the bed linens. I would recommend her and use her again in the future.

Shiyanna took such amazing care of our dog, two cats and our home. We were so nervous to leave our newly rescued dog for a memorial out of state and Shiyanna made sure that she gave us lots of updates, photos, etc to ensure we felt comfortable. Our dog is very high energy and has some reactivity issues, in addition to still being reactive to our cats which makes the living situation/management of the house complicated. She still spent plenty of time with our kitties and walked our dog way more than we requested. She even went above and beyond and cleaned! I would recommend her for any of your pet or house sitting needs and we will definitely be working with her again.

So grateful to Adam for taking care of koda! It’s a relief finding someone who loves your dog like their own, will definitely use again in the future! He also took the BEST photos of our koda on their adventures!!

Danielle was so great with our older dog and left our house as clean as we left it. She was great at communicating and coming for a meet and greet before. We hope to use her again and couldn’t recommend her more.

Heidi is our new go to dog sitter! She takes wonderful care of our two small dogs! They cuddled up to her immediately

Mariana was incredible!! I needed some last minute assistance with my pack and Mariana pulled in in the clutch. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated that. Communicative, great with the dogs and super nice. I will absolutely be utilizing Mariana’s services again. Thank you Mariana!!

Naira was amazing. She took a really great job taking care of the pups for the 10 days we were gone. Mrbear was on meds and she gave them to him with no problems. Came home to happy pups and a home just how we left it! Would definitely book again!!

Elysia was great and we will definitely be using her services again in the future! She was very communicative, flexible, and dependable …plus our Goose adored her!

Having Ellery watch our dog Courage for the weekend was fantastic. She was able to accommodate his increased medication and care needs and took great care of our home. She sent a good amount of photos and was also very responsive if we had questions. Would definitely choose her to watch Courage gain in the future if available!

Alyssa was great with our dogs very caring and I knew they were in good hands, she sent lots of pictures as well. We will for sure use her again in the near future.

My pups loved Gabriella! I have a nervous boy and he was all over her very quickly, which is not normal for him! My home was left clean and my pups were happy! I got tons of updates and pictures!

Katielee did a great job with our two pups. We don't have to worry if they are loved and cared for...because they are!

We are so eternally grateful for Val. We received so many great updates and photos and we 100% trusted that our dogs were in the best of hands.

Natalie did an excellent job watching my dog over a long weekend. She was attentive, caring, and kind towards my pup and very respectful of my home. She was flexible with timing and her availability. I will absolutely be a repeat customer!

We appreciated Jailyn's communication and photos of our boys during her stay. When we returned the boys did not look or smell stressed (Kuma did not have his "stressed smell"). Thank you.

Tesha watched our dog on short notice and did a wonderful job! She showed Gracie lots of love and provided regular updates and pictures. We will definitely ask her to come back next time we need a sitter,

Annette is always our first choice for dog care - we love that she can stay in our home and keep the dogs in their comfort zone. She is responsible, great at communication, gives the dogs plenty of love and shares updates with perfect frequency. This visit she also cared for our foster dog, which went really well and was a huge help for us on a quick trip away. She is our favorite!

Natalia is great at communicating, tidy, and kept our dog happy and comfortable! She is very sweet, caring, and loves dogs!

Brianna was very sweet. She came over for a meet and greet before we booked. She was attentive and asked great questions about caring for my dog. She was incredibly responsive and kept me posted on how things were going while I was gone. She left the house spotless! We will definitely be booking with her again.
