“Devan was excellent with Pepper, and was extremely meticulous in his communication. We received constant text and photo updates during his stay and that’s one of the most important qualities when caring for a pet.”

“Brantley was fantastic! I was a little nervous leaving my dog as we just moved to Seattle. He kept me updated through the weekend and sent plenty of pictures. We really appreciated it!”

“Danielle and Joy took fantastic care of our Boston Terrier, Patrick. He requires medication and has some anxiety and Danielle and Joy did a great job handling these special needs.”

“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!”

“Regina went above and beyond to ensure my elderly dachshund received the best care and attention. Her regular photo updates allowed our family to relax while away, knowing our pet was in good hands. Regina was also easy to work with, flexible, and we look forward to having our dog stay with Regina again!”


“Ponyo did an amazing job keeping our Olive happy, healthy, and engaged during her stay. She sent a ton of pictures each day, mixing useful information (poop quality and quantity) with adorable beagle faces around the yard. We are so grateful for the time she spent with Olive!”

“Debra is attentive, patient, and so sweet with our senior dogs. We appreciate her timely communication and attention to the details and medication schedules. Highly recommend!”
“Tianci was an amazing host for Cannoli! The level of care and attention to detail that she and her husband gave during his stay was nothing short of impeccable. They took Cannoli on tons of walks, showered him with toys and treats, and gave him an adorable bath and spa-treatment. I highly recommend Tianci as a sitter!!!”

“Catherine was absolutely wonderful. This was our first time boarding Hiro, and she was so great through the whole process. We would 100% book again with her in the future.”

“Randsell was super communicative and was very caring! I could tell our cat was very reluctant in parting ways with her when I went to pick him up. I'm very grateful she was available last minute for our trip to cat sit.”

“Davis was an incredible sitter for Cannoli! He was flexible, communicative, and most importantly, took Cannoli everywhere with him. For anyone looking for anything from a sitter for several days to a walker, I highly recommend Davis.”


“Celeste cares for your dog like her own and is enthusiastic about showing them a wonderful time when they stay with her! We appreciated the photo and video updates and loved that our pup had a home away from home while we were away”

“Jessica took great care of our dog, Holly. We received daily updates on how Holly was doing and she made our dog feel at home in a new environment. Jessica demonstrates a lot of patience and compassion for animals and also takes beautiful pictures of her furry guests. We are grateful that we know Holly will be cared for and safe when we are away from home. Thank you Jessica (and Mochi)!”

“We did boarding for our dog Marcel at Ana's home, and she and her family were fantastic caretakers. Ana was communicative, timely, and conscientious - from planning outings to make sure Marcel got the exercise and attention he needs, to sharing regular photo updates on how he was doing during his stay. Would highly recommend!”

“Samantha was absolutely wonderful taking care of Teddy. Teddy had lots of fun playing with Samantha, meeting her friends and taking very long walks with her! Samantha was so patient with Teddy when he was first nervous. She sent me consistent updates on Teddy & each time, it looked like he was having a blast. In fact, after she took care of Teddy, Teddy & I ran into her on a walk and he was soooo excited to see her again. Definitely recommend Samantha - she was kind, responsive, and made Teddy feel right at home in her place.”

“Mengyuan did such a great job with both my cat and dog. I received updates and pictures from her daily, she is very attentive and communicative, I would book her again and would also recommend her to anyone!”

“Michael was an amazing sitter for my dog and communicator for me!! We had a last minute schedule change and were traveling to Seattle unexpectedly. Michael was so helpful and accommodating to make this work with less notice than usual! He was prompt and communicative sending me pictures of Sox updates along the way. His dog Ellie was very chill and seemed to get along with Sox great. I definitely would (and will!) work with Michael again!”

“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”

South Lake Union dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was Lola’s first overnight stay with Alejandra after just a couple of daycare visits, and we couldn’t have been happier. It’s never easy leaving your dog overnight for the first time, but Alejandra made us feel completely at ease. She sent sweet updates and photos, and it was obvious Lola was having a great time and getting lots of love. Lola came home happy, relaxed, and tired in the best way. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care and would absolutely book with Alejandra again she is the best!

Nicolas was AMAZING! My two doggies spent 8 days with him while I was on vacation. I was nervous about being gone so long, and one of my dogs has never been to a sitter. Nicolas updated me multiple times a day along with photos! I think the dogs love him more than me. Lol. He is my new dog person for sure! I can't give enough positive feedback! So wonderful!!!!

Jessica and her partner are absolute gems! They took such good care of our baby boy (Bear) while we were away for a couple weeks visiting family. We were given bountiful updates and pictures that really put me and my partners heart at ease- it honestly looked like Bear had a better time than we did 😂💗 Jessica went above and beyond to care for Bear, take him out many times a day, and was honestly very much in tune with his behavior and what he likes/doesn’t like. She was noticing things about Bear that we’ve observed over the years, in such a short amount of time! We were incredibly happy with our experience and will definitely be booking with Jessica again the next time we are away ☺️

Nikki and Walther took excellent care of our little dog. Nikki sent regular updates throughout the stay, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. I think our dog had a little vacation of his own with Nikki and Walther—and was probably even more spoiled than he is at home! Our usually nervous dog came back calm, relaxed, and happy, which says a lot about the care and attention he received. I would absolutely book with Nikki again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.
