“Andy was amazing with George! This was my first time travelling away from him in a long time, and I felt very comfortable and confident that he was taken care of. George got a stomach bug right before I left, and Andy was great about administering his medicine from the vet. She sent me daily updates, so I knew he was doing well.”

“Deven stayed in our home and took care of our dog for a week. He was the best dog sitter we have had! He asked lots of good questions before the stay, which made me feel confident in hiring him. He went above and beyond. He sent updates twice a day with pictures and videos. He followed the routine perfectly. He gave me dog care tips, like how to clean the discharge from her eyes. I could tell he genuinely liked my dog and cared about her. He left the house just like I left it, clean and organized. I plan to hire him again. I highly recommend Deven!”

About: I’m a dog person. I grew up having dogs and begged my parents for a German Shepard in high school. Since then, my fiancé and I have a small terrier - who I love with all my heart. I never thought of myself as SDP (small dog person), but I can safely say, I love big and small dogs. I’m a responsible adult, currently making a career pivot and looking to make some money while unemployed. Have lived in Seattle since 2021 and familiar with most neighborhoods near Queen Anne. I have a part-time job where I work weekdays 11am-5pm PST. I am available early mornings (before 10am), evenings (after 5pm) and weekends.. I’m making a career pivot and have a flexible schedule - most days I’m taking online courses or job hunting from our apartment in QA. No restrictions on weekday or weekend days I have a small dog in Queen Anne - we live in an apartment so very accustomed to needing to take her out for daily walks and exercise!

“I highly recommend Ulianna! She stayed at my home while I was away and took excellent care of my dog, Ginger. Not only did she keep the house spotless, but she also made sure Ginger was well-walked, cuddled, and loved. I especially appreciated the sweet photo updates she sent of their snuggle sessions—it gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Ulianna is trustworthy, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I would absolutely hire her again!”


“Diane did such a great job looking after my two cats and home. I’ve used her twice now, and both times she was patient about any worry I had and was very communicative before, during, and after. She took notes and asked questions during the meet-n-greet, and she was thoughtful about sending pictures and keeping me in the loop. When I would check in for an update, she was quick to respond. For my older cat, she was nice enough to heat up the Snuggle Safe and put it back in my kitty’s “chair fort” every day. She let the cats come to her, and I appreciate how patient she is with them. I came home to a clean and tidy house, too. I would highly recommend Diane for cat and/or house sitting.”


“Allie was a consummate professional from Meet & Greet to wrapping up house sitting with my girl dog. She communicated easily and often. I loved the photos she sent throughout the time which helped me stay connected to my pup. Perfectly clean home and happy dog when I got back. Highly recommend!”



“Mandy was an incredible sitter while staying at my house and watching Osho. From regular updates, fantastic photos of Osh and my place left cleaner than it was before I left, I can’t wait to work with Mandy again. Highly recommend!”


“Annie took such great care of Oscar and my home - we will definitely call on her again. She sent a lot of updates and stayed in good communication putting as at ease. She also left our house spotless!”


“Jeff was the best petsitter we have had - he stepped in right away when I was in a schedule pinch, he followed directions to a T, he kept in contact to let us know everyone was doing well, he shared how much he enjoyed the doggos, and when we arrived home the house was immaculate, smelled nice, and the dogs were relaxed and happy. I didn't get to meet him in person beforehand, and he is definitely someone you can trust if you have to do the same.”


“Kay was fantastic! She took such great care of Bentley and Bear, sent regular photos and videos, and left my place just as tidy as it was when she got there. I will definitely book Kay again!”


“Abbigail was amazing. She provided me with daily pictures and messages of how Maui was doing. I was at peace during my trip knowing that Maui was safe. Abbigail took great care of Maui and I will definitely book her again. Highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a pet sitter.”


“Radha was a wonderful companion to our high-energy puppy. He house sat for several days and dealt with a leak, a power outage, and a puppy who had never been left with a stranger. Radha sent lots of pictures and updates and kept us at ease. He even visited a couple of weeks before we hired him so we could ensure he was a good fit for us. Thank you, Radha!”


“Amy did a great job housesitting for my dog Ripley. Ripley really liked her which was great as I was worried she might get anxiety. Amy was really professional, communicative and nice. Also she took great pictures of Ripley. Finally, when I returned home everything was clean and in order. I would recommend Amy as a house sitter.”

South Lake Union pet parents share their Rover experiences
Matthew watched my Havanese puppy, Kainalu, while I went on a weekend trip to the Bay Area and I honestly can’t say enough good things about him. Leaving your dog with someone new is always nerve-wracking, especially when your pup is like family, but Matthew made the entire experience stress-free. From the very beginning, he was super communicative, flexible, and made sure to understand all of Kainalu’s little quirks and routines. We did a meet-and-greet before the trip, and I could already tell how much he genuinely cares about animals. Kainalu is usually shy and takes a while to warm up to new people, but with Matthew he felt comfortable almost right away. That gave me so much peace of mind going into the weekend. While I was away, Matthew stayed at my place and was amazing about keeping me updated. Every day I got pictures and videos that showed Kainalu looking happy, playful, and relaxed. It honestly made my trip so much easier knowing my pup was in such good hands. Matthew stuck to his routine perfectly—walks, feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, everything—and it was clear he was giving Kainalu lots of love and attention, not just the basics. When I got home, Kainalu was the same happy little guy I left, no stress or anxiety, which is all I could ask for. On top of that, my place was just how I left it, which really shows how respectful and reliable Matthew is. It didn’t feel like I was coming back from a sitter—it felt like a good friend had been looking after my pup and my home. I HIGHLY recommend Matthew to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely great with dogs. It’s hard finding someone you can feel totally comfortable with when it comes to your fur baby, but Matthew is that person. I’m so glad I found him on Rover, and I’ll definitely be reaching out to him again whenever I need Kainalu cared for. He’s the kind of sitter you want to keep around long-term.

Lynsey is the best. We’ve had several dog sitters but she is the best ever! She really loved your animals and takes care of them. She knew one of our pups wasn’t feeling well and she even went to the vet for us. She took extra good care of her and sent us lots of photos and videos. We only want Lynsey watching our dogs.

Olivia was a wonderful house-sitter and cat-sitter! This was me and my husband's first time both having a house-sitter and leaving our new kitten. Olivia is very kind, made us feel very comfortable ahead of time, and took great care of our two cats, giving us peace of mind with thoughtful updates and photos. She also went above and beyond: offering to stop by an additional time to pick up the keys when I forgot to make a copy ahead of time, working with us helpfully and efficiently when we were tackling a little constipation scare with our older cat, helping set up our pet camera, bringing up our packages, etc. She left everything clean and spotless in our apartment as well. We knew our cats were in great hands, and feel very grateful for Olivia for taking great care of them. We have already booked her again for a future stay!

Srujan was great with my two kitties! I had him stay overnight for a couple of days and he was very responsive. I also liked that he sent pictures. He asked a lot of great questions during our meet and greet and was very thorough. I came home to happy kitties and my home was nice and tidy. I highly recommend Srujan and will use him in the future!

Caitlin was absolutely fantastic with my cat. I made a last minute request before a trip and Caitlin responded immediately. She is very responsive and knowledgeable with pet care, and I felt very safe leaving my cat under her care. I received many cute pictures of my cat while I was away, and I could tell my cat was having a great time with Caitlin. I highly recommend her and will definitely look to her for pet sitting again.

Amy was a dream! She communicated super clearly and professionally, was immediately part of the pack upon arrival, was very comfortable with both Winnie’s older sister vibe and Cleo’s puppy energy, and sent thoughtful and helpful updates throughout the evening. Can’t wait to work with her again!

From the moment she stepped into my home, my dog — who normally greets strangers with the suspicion of a Victorian aristocrat meeting common folk — was instantly enchanted. It was as if she spoke a secret language known only to canines and angels. My dog, who has snubbed Michelin-star-level kibble in the past, dined with gusto under her care. He slept as though he were reclining in the lap of Zeus himself. He returned to me not just walked, not just fed, not just cuddled — but spiritually transformed.

Your puppy is in the best of care with Adrian. I can not recommend him enough. Adrian watched our puppy for the weekend. He provided regular updates with photos, navigated a puppy that was not sleeping through the night and left a tidy house. I am so grateful for his loving care, canine knowledge and positive, can do attitude. You would be lucky to have Adrian watch your furry family member.

I don’t think my animals (dog and cat) have ever been so content and happy upon arriving home from our trip. They were obviously not missing us at all after being with Stanley and Thanh for 4 nights! 😂 Our dog is older and they are so considerate of his health needs, making sure he takes his medications and giving him thoughtful, slow exercise on his walks. And my cat is obsessed with them!!! This is our third sit with them and will absolutely be using them again. Thanks again to you both!
