“Megan was the best whole caring for our 3 animals. We have a high anxiety dog and she was able to make him feel at ease and relaxed while we were away. She was communicative, sending pictures and updates and answered any questions we had.”

“Always the best, goes above & beyond. My elderly cat wasn’t feeling well, and she not only took him to the vet, picked him up, gave him his medicine, PLUS purchased some addl items to help him recover. The absolute best, can’t recommend her highly enough. ❤️❤️❤️”

“Was great to be away and not worry about my cats. Lisa sent pictures regularly and the cats were clearly enjoying her presence. Would absolutely recommend her!”

“Michael was great! For my dog, Klaus, it was love at first sight. When he met Michael he started trying to do zoomies in the hallway of my apartment building! Michael contacted me the day before he was going to take care of Klaus to ask some pertinent questions. I really appreciate it when someone is so professional and shows good communication skills. I could tell that Michael had read over Klaus' profile and that he wanted to make sure to follow my instructions to a tee. He sent me some adorable pictures of my pup while they were taking a walk He was very gracious when I returned home a little late. I could tell that Klaus really enjoyed his time with his new buddy, Michael! I would not hesitate to call on his again. Thank you, Michael! Klaus says hi!”

“Ryen was great! Loved the communication and I felt like I could really trust that my pets were being well taken care of - there really is nothing better than that kind of peace of mind.”

“Misao is an amazing person and dog sitter. She sent us great photos throughout our vacation that showed how she was taking great care of our dogs - they were playing, going on walks, and being snuggled. She is also very thoughtful and asked questions about caring for our dogs that we hadn’t considered. One of our dogs is elderly and Misao was very supportive and considerate of her special needs. I would highly recommend Misao for others seeking a dog sitter.”

“Brooklyn was amazing, very communicative, very punctual, attentive, and professional. I would definitely book Brooklyn any time I need someone to watch out dogs. Great experience.”

“Hannah did a great job for us taking care of our pups and our home. Murphy and Miley seemed very happy and well cared for and our home was as clean as when we left! I wouldn’t hesitate to have Hannah back on our next trip! Thank you Hannah!”

“Alexa and Connor, once again, crushed it! Our animals love them and they’re such good stewards of our home when we’re away. 12/10 would recommend them to anyone! They are so attentive and responsive. Positive experience every time.”

“Alicia is amazing and very thoughtful! She anticipated our needs and kept in contact, did everything we would’ve asked her to do without us having to ask her, including time-zoning us so that she could send pics of our dog during our day! We even came home to flowers and treats. Who does that?! :) We could not have asked for a better dog/house sitter and am so thankful to have met her.”

“This past weekend, Kelsie house sat for us and our full house of 4 furry pets (2 dogs and 2 cats). She was highly communicative, friendly, responsive, and all of our pets loved her! She really seemed to enjoy interacting with our pets as well. I'd highly recommend her to anyone and hope that she will be available for future house sitting trips!”

“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.”
“Khaytlen is experienced, accommodating, and has lots of dogs around to play with. Her yard is a huge oasis it’s like a park. She also has a kennel setup and the ability to separate dogs or integrate them as needed. She did an excellent job with our 1yr old lab mix. He’s anxious around people and has some behavioral issues but Khaytlen was able to handle him very well. She was flexible when our plans changed and very understanding. Unlike boarding at a doggie daycare, she provides daily pack-walks, structured socializations and instills good habits.”

“Payton communicated with us well, followed our provided care directions, and took some wonderful pictures of our boy while in her care. Would definitely request her services again in the future.”

“Angie was absolutely amazing and made our vacation away from our animals so relaxing knowing they were well taken care of! She sent lots of pictures which we loved, and took our dog on lots of walks. We will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”

“Shania is the best pet sitter! She takes such wonderful care of my baby. Very reliable. Good communication. Very caring. Definitely will ask her to house sit for me again.”

South Tacoma pet parents share their Rover experiences
As one would expect from all of her outstanding reviews, Megan was amazing in taking care of our babies. Annie is extremely nervous and anxious when left with anyone but us, and Megan was sensitive to her needs. We really appreciate you, Megan. We look forward to having you take care of our babies again soon. Thank you!

Payton was great. We had to schedule only a couple of days ahead of time and she was willing to accommodate us and came out next evening for a meet & greet with our menagerie. The dogs took to her instantly - which is not common for our husky in particular. Everything went well the day of her stay with our pets and everyone was happy. We’d happily recommend Payton!

Came home to 2 happy pups. They obviously had a grand time with Brooklyn and my house looked perfect. Brooklyn was great at sending pictures and updates while I was away. I had no concerns about my beloved dogs or my home. Can't wait to plan another trip so they can spend time with Brooklyn. The pups love when Brooklyn stays here even if they miss me.

I highly recommend Alexandria for all your pet sitting needs. She was absolutely amazing and made our trip stress free for many reasons. Upon meeting our dogs for the first time you could tell she was an animal person, completely comfortable getting on their level and letting them sniff it out for a bit. One of our dogs is very nervous around new people but he was even warmed up to her wagging his tail by the end of her visit. Things felt really good to move forward. She arrived promptly every time we had scheduled and had great communication from the start. The updates we got were warm, caring and fun! She included pictures and was great about any special requests we made. She made a point to keep our house very clean and even washed the sheets before leaving. We found our house exactly how we left it and some very happy dogs upon returning. Truly a game changer to have someone like her to be part of our team with travel planning. We are so grateful she was available for us.

We had a wonderful experience with Julia and would happily book with her again. She was extremely communicative throughout our trip, providing regular updates and photos that gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were clearly well cared for, happy, and comfortable in her care. She was attentive, responsible, and handled everything professionally. She also left our home in excellent condition. We are very grateful for the care she provided to both our pets and our home and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Shania was an amazing dog sitting for my anxious older dog. She had great communication and patience when meeting her and kept me updated throughout the entire stay. My dog is very anxious and Shania made it much easier for Lily and made her so comfortable. She took Greta care of Lily and will be using her in the future.
