1. Samantha S.

“Sammy is amazing. I cannot say enough about her. She took care of my dogs like they were her own, went the extra mile to help out when of my dogs while she was sick, going above and beyond what I would expect of a sitter. She is an incredible care taker and communicates so well, making me feel comfortable when far away.”


2. taylor m.

“Taylor is phenomenal at taking care of my two girls. Definitely dependable, responsive and very sweet to my kiddos. Will definitely as her to watch them again!!”


3. Madison H.

“This was my first time working with Madison and they were fantastic! They made time to do a meet-and-greet before hand to meet my Kitty and watch me administer medications. They asked great questions and were patient with my instructions. They have now checked on my cat twice and gave meds, they gave thorough notes in the rover card and provided great pictures. My cat was quick to cuddle with them which is always a good sign that they are gentle and kind when giving meds. Overall very happy and will definitely book again.”


4. Missy M.

7. Karen R.

“Karen took wonderful care of our two dogs, a golden and husky, while we were away for a few days. Our dogs love people and we so appreciated Karen spending quality time with them in our home, following the care instructions, and giving them ample play time. Thanks!”


8. Melanie K.

“Melanie did a great job taking care of my very unfriendly cat Daisy! She sent lots of pictures & updates, which I enjoyed getting. Melanie brought my mail in & took my garbage out to the curb for pick up too. She went above & beyond! I am so happy to have found her to take care of Daisy when I am gone!”


9. Becky D.

“Becky is amazing! My ‘pup’ is going to be 13 years so he’s really a senior and I have to admit I am a bit protective! She learned about all of his needs and asked some great questions, which I really appreciated. She provided me with pics during her time with him and when I got home, it was obvious he was well cared for. I definitely recommend her and am so grateful to have found someone I can trust.”


10. Ashley Elizabeth R.

“Wonderful experience!! I will definitely use Ashley again and recommend her to anyone. She kept me updated and responded to messages very quickly. My cats were well taken care of. They are pretty social with me and not used to me being gone. So far they are not showing any separation issues and even the shy anxious one is doing great! Ashley stopped in to hang out twice a day and that extra people interaction each day from my past one a day visits has had a big impact. Sad as it is to say it’s almost like they didn’t miss me as much this time :) Thank you!!!”

About: We are a small family who loves Golden Retrievers and would love to watch your golden during your vacations or family emergencies. My wife works full time and works from home and I stay at home watching our son and animals. We are a clean and friendly household. We would love to help other families that have Golden Retrievers. We have one Golden Retriever and would love to help others who have Goldens be able to have secure vacations knowing that their golden is safe and enjoying time with another happy Golden Retriever. A happy home makes a happy pet we live in an amazing quiet neibirhood that is close to Tumwater, Lacey and Olympia. My wife spent 4 years in 4-H and showed both dogs and cats. The time that She spent in 4-H helped her to learn how to take care of pets and advanced knowledge like first aid, foods that are poisonous to animals, plants that are toxic and grooming. Our family knows how hard it is if you have an emergency and can't get home to let the dogs out or need someone to take your pet to the vet. Our family would love to help we are here to help make you feel comfortable at work and on vacation. Thanks and we look forward to working with you!! Geoff, Angus, Jennifer, Kobe and Molly Working with Golden Retrievers have been my passion for the past 15 years and my daily routine is working with the animials and assisting my son with his homework after school. I have a fenced yard the neibourhood that we live in is safe and secure and our home is dog friendly and will give a dog a safe and happy enviroment for the duration on their stay.


12. Alexa E.
“Alexa is excellent with my labradoodle! 🐾💛 She takes her on long walks that stimulate her mentally and exercise her physically! Alexa treats my girl like her own and I am so pleased with the love and care she gives Luna each time she takes her out for a walk. If you need someone to take your fur baby for a walk while you are busy with your daily life, I’d 100% recommend Alexa! She usually sends pictures to me of her and Luna on their walk! So sweet! 📸”




13. Jerrie P.

“Jerrie is a reliable sitter and always sends me photos of my dog playing outside. She takes great care of him when I’m away. Plus, she has saved me at the last minute and been available with short notice.”


14. Jeffrey R.

“Jeffrey did a great job communicating his care. Would definitely book with him again!”


15. Lauren H.

“Lauren is a fantastic pet sitter. She was great with our elderly cat (Stan loved her!), gave through updates and was patient with us as we can be worrisome pet parents when it comes to our old man Stan. Already hoping to work with Lauren for our future needs.”


16. Eric S.

“Eric treated my cats fabulously!!! He is punctual and responsive, and made sure all my cat’s needs were met. He was very respectful of our home, it was treated with care after we were away for close to 2 weeks. I could not recommend Eric more. He was kind and so responsive, I was at ease the whole time we were away. Best of all my cars were very happy and healthy upon our return. I recommend Eric completely!”


17. Stephanie G.
“I have known Stephanie for 24 years! Steph's parents are old college friends and great neighbors. Stephanie has a 16-year-old cat named Milkshake. I remember the day they brought her home and Stephanie is her favorite "sister". Stephanie has taken care of our dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters and rabbits since she was around 12 years old. She is very compassionate, reliable and knowledgeable of animals of all kinds. Stephanie would be an amazing addition to Rover. We have also used Rover and would definitely request Stephanie!!”


18. Austin C.
“Austin has been walking our Golden- Doodle, Teddy, for a few weeks now and I cannot say how thankful we are to have found him. Austin is patient and more than willing to collaborate with us on Teddy's behavior. He has previous experience volunteering with dog trainers which comes in handy! Teddy can be a handful 😅 especially near big parks but Austin is able to play with him and teach him boundaries.”


19. Summer B.

“Summer has been so great with my three pups! She’s been very reliable and is great with communication. My pups really took to her and enjoy her company!”
