“Rachael took such good care of my dog, Pippin. She was very patient and attentive which is much needed for this older dog. Great communication and very reliable too!”
“Joey had the most wonderful stay with Debra! She was so kind and sweet, and understood Joey’s needs as a senior citizen pup. As he’s an old pup his legs are a bit weak; Debra went the extra mile to set up a carpet path and extra bedding to make sure he was comfortable and could walk around. She sent consistent updates and lots of photos. Truly made Joey feel welcome and was the best experience we could have ever had!”
“I cannot recommend Danielle and Joy enough! They were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Maia. From the moment we booked, they kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos, which put us completely at ease. They were extremely responsive, kind, and respectful, making the entire experience stress-free. Maia seemed so happy and well-cared-for during the days they looked after her, and it was clear she was in great hands. We will definitely be booking with Danielle and Joy again in the future!”
“Sam was amazing! Communicated frequently and I came back from my trip to a happy dog with no issues. She genuinely likes having pancake around and I don’t see why I would use another rover while she is still in Seattle!”
“So grateful to Megan for her amazing communication, accommodating my needs with drop off/pick up and of course, best of all, the amazing love and care that Gemma received!”
“Anne was a wonderful caretaker of our Bindi girl. Bindi is not an easy dog and Anne put our mind at ease since she was so attentive, caring, and loving of our dog Bindi. She grew up with pitbulls so we were at ease. Bindi got plenty of walks and was so tuckered out by the end of their time together. Thank you so much Anne. Bindi’s looking forward to seeing you again!”
“Steph takes excellent care of Neo every time and reinforces his training. She sends daily updates and is super communicative and ensures all dogs are well taken care of and loved. Neo absolutely loves her and Yogi.”
“Catherine was so wonderful with Pip! Sent lots of photos and updated us on all their activities. They did plenty of walking and playing! Catherine also knew the perfect times to take Pip outside to avoid crowds and other dogs. Highly recommend Catherine!”
“Emily was so great with watching my pup, Bella! She was communicative and flexible. I could tell Bella had a wonderful time with her 😊 I will definitely be reaching back out to Emily the next I need a dog sitter!”
“Jennifer has boarded of our dog several times now, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She’s a great communicator, takes him on fun adventures, and he returns happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t be happier. Danielle took amazing care of our little one. We requested pictures and videos and she sent plenty. We will definitely be booking with her in the future.”
“Regina was a great sitter for my dog Layla! She had lots of toys for Layla to choose from and took her on lots of walks. I also appreciated all of the pictures she sent!”
“Kevin and his wife took great care of my anxious dog. Communication was excellent and we received lots of photos. Our dog seemed happy and relaxed in Kevin’s care. Highly recommend!”
“Jaden and Katy are fantastic dog sitters, and we feel so lucky to have them as our regular sitters for our lab, Rafa. Rafa can sometimes experience separation anxiety when we drop him off in a new place, but this time, he happily walked off with Jaden, which speaks volumes about the trust and comfort they’ve built with him. It’s clear that Jaden and Katy genuinely care for the dogs they watch, providing a warm and welcoming environment that puts both pets and owners at ease. Knowing Rafa is in such good hands allows us to fully enjoy our time away without worry. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitters!”
“Excellent care, a lot of good advice, great opportunity for my dog to interact with other dogs in a safe and controlled environment, and was a perfect last-minute option for dog care. Totally recommended and will consider using again for future care needs.”
“Alexa and Gabriel are amazing! They were very communicative and even took Gryffin to the dog park. Gryffin had the best time with their golden retriever (per the cute pictures they sent.) Thanks so much Alexa and Gabriel!”
“Daniel was fantastic! Flexible with pickup and drop off times. Responsive when setting up meet and greets and during care as well! I would happily work with Daniel again!”

Tara and Max were wonderful sitters for Ruby over a long weekend. She got along great with their Aussie and was absolutely enamored with the foster kittens in their care. Their home was welcoming, communication was smooth, and they were very friendly throughout. Would definitely book with them again!
Alex is a caring, attentive, and thorough dog sitter who always made sure to send us frequent updates! Alex clearly has lots of experience caring for sensitive pups that need a little extra patience, and we knew our dog Arlo was in good hands with her and was getting the exercise and proper care he needs to feel calm. Thank you!
This is the second time Max has stayed with Jonathan and we are so grateful for the wonderful care he and his wife provide!! Maxi can have anxiety leaving us, but this time he easily walked right in with them! He seems to love their daily walks, and while Max can sometimes be difficult with eating dinner, they are so patient and accommodating. Max loves staying with them and makes himself at home, which we know from all the great pictures we get from Jonathan! Any dog would be happy with them!
Megan was amazing! She was super responsive, which allowed us to find care for our dog on our trip(!). She provided a perfect amount of updates and photos and made us feel really good about Reggie's care. She was flexible and drop off and had Reggie ready to go at pick up. We are so grateful for Megan, and I think Reggie wasn't actually ready to leave! Reggie will absolutely hang out with Megan again on his next trip to Seattle.
Ginger was absolutely wonderful with my anxious pup. They were so patient and gentle from the start. I could tell he felt safe and cared for while I was away. The updates and photos gave me so much peace of mind. Ginger took him on so many adventures. My pup came home happy and tired. It is clear they truly go above and beyond. My senior chihuahua typically does not like young children, but to my surprise her wonderful daughter was able to kiss him and hold him. She even made him a departing gift - which melted my heart. I am so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and compassionate. I will definitely be booking again! And would recommend Ginger to anyone looking for a dog sitter. I cannot say enough great words for Ginger.
Zach was great - as was his own dog Maya. He had a very clean house and back yard for the dogs to be comfortable. There was no worry that the dogs would get into anything. He had great communication and gave us daily updates with photos. We'll be back to visit Sitka and Luca's new friend Zach!
There were a couple communication mishaps but Chio sent updates daily and Cookie came back looking happy and tired. Appreciated Chio taking good care of her and taking her on a hike during her weekend away. Also sent some incredibly cute pics of Cookie hanging out with her cat, Cookie must have loved that :)
Adam was super responsive and took great care of boomer, on short notice no less. He made sure to get all the info for care on boomer at a meet and greet and was very communicative! I could tell boomer was happy and well taken care of when I picked her up. Would def recommend Adam for anyone looking for exceptional care!
Cheryl took such amazing care of my old dog Brian. She took him on slow sniff walks and made sure he ate (which he sometimes avoids when staying with a rover sitter) by putting his food into a puzzle so he thought it was treats. I would definitely recommend Cheryl for any dog!!
Alexandra was incredibly caring and kind to our Aussie shepherd Addie. She made sure we had an earlier drop off to allow for Addie to acclimate appropriately before night, and made sure she got plenty of exercise even when the rain kept them inside. Alexandra was very accommodating and flexible when our travel plans encountered delays, and helped us coordinate with a local friend to pickup Addie. Thanks so much!
