“Robin Is an excellent pet sitter takes her duties seriously she’s very friendly great personalities to work with pets very knowledgeable we’ve never left any of our fur babies with a sitter before nor our house with anyone besides family she made us feel comfortable before we left even more more comfortable while we were gone with updates and pictures of what was going on in the home and when we came home the house was spotless and the dog was happy I want to think for a great experience and I will definitely book with her again”
“Mandy is was amazing with our dogs! She provides daily updates with photos. She provides exceptional care to our boys even making a trip to the vet! We can’t say enough good words about Mandy and would highly recommend her services to anyone!”
“Absolutely wonderful sitter. Literally zero complaints, she was communicative, helpful, took notes on the goods and the bads, went above and beyond to provide service for my pets. Absolutely will be using her again, first choice.”
“First time using an online dog/house sitting app. Cassandra was absolutely amazing. 10/10. We won’t be going back to friends/friends kids to house sit for us. Super nice adult, just who you want to be in your house with your pets while you are away. Great communication. Kept us updated every day and with fun pictures of the adventures she took our two dogs on. And boy did they get spoiled! Walks, trips to the park, wash and brush, really above and beyond. The house was immaculate upon our return as well. She was happy to water plants and feed the chickens and collect eggs etc. Again, amazing. If you need a sitter, and Cassandra is available, do not think twice.”
“My puppies had a wonderful time with Theo, and I received daily updates and pictures. They were comfortable, had lots of fun, and got lots of cuddles. She is able to handle their rambunctiousness with care and understanding. Highly recommend, great communication, easy to work with. I will definitely be asking for Theo again! I think she is the perfect dog sitter!”
“I cannot recommend Vanesa enough. She made us feel so comfortable when we have an anxious dog who’s never been watched by someone she doesn’t know before. And she was amazing at sending updates and pictures of our babies. I’m just so grateful to have had such a pleasant experience thanks to her!”
“Madelyn was an excellent sitter for Frito! She was very communicative and shared pictures. Kept me updated on how she was doing throughout our trip. And the house was spotless when we got home. Will definitely hope to book her again!”
“She was fantastic! Always updated us with pictures and was super thoughtful about the heat and walks with our pups. She even asked about house plants that potentially needed watering. When we came home they were very chill and happy. We could tell they had lots of love. We’ve booked on Rover many times and she has been one of the best. Funny side note: Upon returning home, getting settled and taking our pups on an evening walk after it had cooled down we ran into our neighbors across the street and they, unprompted, raved that she was the best sitter they’ve observed at our house. Highly recommend and will ask to sit our pups/house again in the future.”
About: New to Rover but, with over a decade of experience as a trusted dog sitter, I have had the privilege of caring for countless furry companions, including those belonging to neighbors, friends, and coworkers. From goofy poodles (like my own) to energetic vizsla's, I've had the pleasure of nurturing a diverse range of breeds and personalities. My commitment to building strong relationships with both pets and their owners has led to countless referrals and repeat clients, solidifying my reputation as a go-to sitter in the area. I prioritize safety, exercise, and lots of cuddles!! I have a work schedule that gives me flexibility Thursdays and Fridays so I’m able to provide services for up to 4 days at a time :) I don’t have a pet friendly rental home so I prefer to care for pets at the clients home. This is what I’ve normally done for friends and family over the years. Plus pets seem more comfy in their own homes!
“Was the perfect dog sitter. She was attentive, kind and incredibly helpful to me. I lost a family member out of town - she came and stayed with them and showed them all the love I wish I could have given them while I was gone- including staying on schedule with my older pups medicine. I got daily updates with pictures or videos. I CANNOT recommend her enough.”
“This was my first experience using Rover and having a sitter for my dog, and I couldn’t be happier! Grace was absolutely amazing with Maisy. She kept us updated with daily photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing our girl was being so well cared for. On top of that, she left our home very clean! I felt completely comfortable and at ease throughout the entire experience. I would absolutely trust Grace to care for Maisy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter.”
“The absolute best dog sitters we will ever know! We love the care Hannah & Julie give our girl! Some of thr nicest people we have ever met & they love our girl as their own. Thank you, Hannah & Julie!”
“Margaret and her dog Roan were fantastic sitters for my dog Zaylee. Margaret provided regular updates, and I could see my dog Zaylee was loved and well cared for. On returning- everything in the house was in order. I could not be happier Margaret and Roan!”
About: With over 30 years of experience as a pet owner of both cats and dogs, I’ve naturally transitioned into pet sitting and house sitting for others—starting with friends and family, and growing through word of mouth to care for pets of friends of friends. I’m a lifelong animal lover who takes pride in providing loving, reliable care for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s a short visit or a long-term stay, I follow instructions carefully, maintain a clean and tidy environment, and prioritize clear, consistent communication with pet owners for total peace of mind. I currently work weekends only 12-8pm in Olympia so I am free around those hours and all week long! I am available for drop ins as well as overnight stays. I take great pride in caring for my 11-year-old rescue cat in my apartment, creating a calm and nurturing environment tailored to her needs. From maintaining a clean, cozy space to providing regular meals, playtime, and gentle affection, I ensure she feels secure and loved every day. This same level of attentiveness and compassion extends to the pets I care for in other people’s homes. I prioritize each animal’s comfort and routine, while respecting the owner's space and preferences, fostering a sense of safety and trust. Whether it's feeding, administering medication, or offering companionship, I approach every pet with patience, reliability, and genuine care.
“Alison was the most wonderful pet/ house sitter I have had. She took such great care of my dog and house for 12 days. She sent me pictures of my pup which was so appreciated. She even cleaned up her poops! Wow no one has ever done that.”
“Jacqui is amazing! She took such great care of our two pups and our house while we were away. One of our dogs is very anxious and can struggle with new people but warmed up to her right away! She sent regular, detailed updates and photos. I know my dogs look forward to seeing her again.”
“Chandra did a fantastic job taking care of our two mini-schnauzers and our house and garden and Little Free Library!! Her communication skills are absolutely perfect. I don't think you could do better than hire Chandra. She's coming again next month!!”
“Mckayla was so kind to our miniature dachshunds for a 2 day house stay. She paid great attention to detail, even asking how to properly hold them. She left the house in perfect condition. Thank you!!”
“Hannah is wonderful. She was willing to help us on short notice and her experience showed from the start. Hannah and Nomad’s dog Ghost was an added bonus as our dogs got to socialize and be around a very very good dog. Our animals seem to not even have missed us much. We returned to happy animals and a clean house. Thank you so much Hannah, Nomad and Ghost, we would be lucky to have you as our sitters again.”

South Bay pet parents share their Rover experiences
Izzy put us at ease knowing our fur babies were taken care of the way they deserve while we were across the country. We just moved here so we wanted someone we could really trust and Izzy more than delivered! We will absolutely use her again in the future. If you are a crazy dog mom like me, look no further you’ve found the right person to care for your pet(s)!
Kui is so great. She takes wonderful care of our dogs, meeting them where their needs are. She’s a terrific communicator. We were gone for two weeks and I never worried about our dogs because I knew she was taking care of them (she also alerted us when our house started acting up!). Thank you so much, Kui!
Alison was fantastic! She was very communicative and took excellent care of Nook while we were away. He was clearly happy and well cared for, and she kept him calm and comfortable during the Fourth of July fireworks, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend!
Catherine was exceptional at house and pet sitting! At first, we were nervous because we were traveling out of the country, but Catherine's clear communication eased our concerns. She is detail-oriented, reliable, and caring, and it’s evident that she genuinely enjoys taking care of our pets.
