“Johanna was extremely easy to work with. Very communicative! Sent lots of pictures which I appreciate and seemed to bond with all our animals pretty quickly. She takes caring for our animals very seriously. And I’ve already booked her again! Highly recommend!”
“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!!”
“Zach is very thoughtful and really took care of every detail. I have three cats and two dogs and everyone seemed to have a lot of fun with Zach. He even managed giving our cat oral medicine twice a day. Highly recommend and we have already booked him for another weekend!”
“What a relief to have Cattleya at our house while we traveled. She is competent and kind, and took excellent care of our indoor/outdoor cat and reactive dog. I would absolutely ask her to stay again in the future.”
“Erika and Maxwell took such great care of our pets and house. We got fantastic photos throughout our time away. They were very responsive to any questions and enthusiastic about spending time with our pup! Would definitely recommend them.”
“If I could give Becky 10 stars I would. She took such good care of our pups. My wife and I were thrilled with all the pictures and videos. We will definitely use Becky again. Thanks Becky!!!!!🙏🏿✝️🙏🏿✝️”
“I booked Halle super last minute for an overnight, my dog was very happy and relaxed when we came back home and everything was clean as we left it. She even left a little drawing of him on our fridge. Thank you Halle!”
About: I have had pets my entire life. Both dog and cats and have a lot of experience in taking care of them. I have taken care of and provided medical care for a cat who was suffering from CKD and know how to provide fluids and care for this situation. I work full time. I can provide services anytime after 5:30p and on the weekends and holidays. If our schedules work out I will be reliable and communicate times that would work out for both. I will work around your schedule and preferences to do house sitting and drop in services. Your trust and security is my highest priority when caring for your pets.

“Our babies were very well taken care of while we were away, and we returned to a home that was in better condition than what we left! We received daily updates with multiple photos and the boys were taken out for walks every day. Cannot recommend enough!! Will be a returning client, for sure.”
“Diane was wonderful! Desto loved her immediately and had so much fun with Diane while I was gone. She provided plenty of photos and updates which was great to see. I would recommend Diane to anyone looking for a responsible and caring individual to care for their pets. I will definitely be using her services again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. I’ve also had experience training puppies as well as walking dogs. I love to spend time with the dogs I am watching outside as well as snuggling up with them in the house. I also enjoy playing with cats and am responsible with keeping up with cleaning litters boxes, making sure all pets have plenty of water, and they are fed in time according to their schedule. Your pet will be loved and taken care of as if they were my own while you are away. :) I am a current college athlete working a part-time summer job as well as taking a short 6 week summer course (in the mornings 4 days a week). I will be in Lacey Washington from April-June and then will be moving back home to Bend, Oregon for the rest of the summer. In Lacey and Bend, I will have time to do drop-ins to check on your babies as well as give them potty breaks and/or take your dogs on walks (if your dog has experience running, I’d also love to do that!). I can also stay at your house if you need someone over night. My schedule will depend on the week, but I will keep my Rover calendar updated with my available times/days, and I am open to having a regular walking schedule with clients. I am not open to taking animals at my own place as I am currently in a on-campus apartment with not a lot of space (especially for dogs). But I will take very good care of your house whether that is me doing drop-ins or staying at your house. I can water plants or complete other tasks if you need while I am staying there. I can crate your animals while I am away if you need, and I will always make sure to stop by every 4-5 hours (depends on day, I will have basketball training, class, or work) to let them have a potty break and to ensure they have plenty of water as well as being fed on time. Your home and animals will be well taken care of!
“Alexis did a wonderful job with my pit bull Jemma. Very attentive and sent lots of pictures. The stress of leaving Jemma has always been a problem but now that have Alexis I will be having him take care of her again”
South Bay pet parents share their Rover experiences
Madison took great care of our houseful of pets! Our two dogs love her and she gave one of our cats meds twice a day. Communication was good and she took the extra time to come by before she pet sat to get updates and review all the pet routines. Highly recommend!
Bee was great with my dog Asher. She was very gentle and patient with him and showed a lot of knowledge about dog behavior. Asher can be anxious with new people, but he quickly showed that he felt safe with her. I think Bee would be good with so many types of dogs because she was very attentive to what Asher needed and adapted her approach to fit his personality. I will definitely book with her again!
Kacie was a great house sitter for my energetic/anxious pit bull, who requires some extra care and patience. She sent lots of pictures/kept me updated, followed instructions, and kept my dog happy with play time too! Would recommend for any one's pet sitting needs. Thank you Kacie!!
Taylor went above and beyond to care for our kitty Cal at our house while we were away for a week. She was communicative throughout and sent the cutest pictures. I could tell when I got home how well taken care of he was. She left the house super tidy and ready for us to return. We will absolutely be asking Taylor to sit again. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet/house sitter!
Anita took very good care of my dog and cat. She gave the cat plenty of space and was patient with her introvert ways. Nova even started to hang out in the same area as Anita towards the end of her stay. Anita was injured right before our booking but did not cancel and was positive and upbeat about it. I really appreciate the care she gave our pets. The house was clean and in order when we returned. I would not hesitate to ask Anita to stay with Abby and Nova again.
Well Roberta knocked it out of the park according to Chidi and Ellie. On time, present, and engaged... no meals missed, no treats too small, walks in the park and ball chasing in the back yard. Roberta did it all and kept us on our toes! Thank you for a great week while Dad was away, we much appreciate it!
Olivia was a wonderful dog sitter for our Cattle Dog, Otis, and our cat and chickens. I hired her specifically because she had experience with high energy cattle dogs and more “farm” type animals — and she was great at everything! She asked thoughtful questions about the animal care and was very good at communicating. This was also a last minute request with a few changes that needed to be accommodated and she was very flexible with our requests and timeline for the weekend. She left the house in outstanding condition and really went above and beyond in all ways. Thank you so much, Olivia! I would trust you to care for our animals and home any time — thank you!
Josh accepted our last minute request so that we could leave town for a funeral and even arrived at 4:30 am for our early flight. He took great care of our dogs and even checked to make sure things were good with our reptile. In addition he left the house as he found it and cleaned up after himself.
Alison did a great job of watching our two dogs when we were gone for 10 days. She rearranged her schedule to help us on short notice, which we were ever so grateful. She kept us well-informed and sent us pictures throughout. She responded quickly to any questions we had. She also did a wonderful job of cleaning the house before we came home. I would highly recommend Alison.
Caelyn is amazing! The weather was poor for her visit this time but she kept the dogs entertained with hiding kibble in the house and puzzle toys. The photos we were given while just show how much our boys love spending time with her. We could not ask for a better sitter! Thank you for everything Caelyn!
Leeann took wonderful care of our home and animals for 8 days while we were in Belize. She was incredibly communicative, kind, and responsible, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She treated our pets with genuine care and attention, and it was clear they were happy and well looked after. She also left our home spotless. Everything was tidy, clean, and exactly how we left it. We couldn’t have asked for a better petsitter and would absolutely trust Leeann again and recommend her without hesitation!
