“April was amazing!! Respectful of my home, arrived on time, fast at communicating, sent photos, and followed instructions perfectly! Highly recommend, will definitely be rebooking for future trips! Thank you! 🥰”


“I had searched in a facebook for pet sitting recommendations and Tabitha was highly recommended. The day she came over to meet our two senior kitties, she won them over with treats and pets. I showed her the ropes and Tabitha took great care of our two senior kitties for 10 days. She asked questions when needed and went the extra mile. We got pictures sent everday and we came home to very happy kitties. she even offered to water my hanging basket which looked beautiful when we got home. I will definitely use Tabitha in the future. And highly recommend her to anyone!”


“Cindy is so wonderful with my shy and very skittish little cat. She takes the time to earn trust, make the animal feel safe, and provide me (the nervous mama) with lots of pictures and great updates. Such a caring and wonderful pet sitter. I cannot recommend her enough.”


“So far, this arrangement is going very well. Tabitha is punctual and Sophie is enjoying her walks. Tabitha is also flexible with my schedule, which I truly appreciate.”


About: Ive taken care of many animals. Ive raised one of my dogs since a puppy and It was very easy, I dont think taking care of dogs is hard. I do my best to keep the animal happy! Ive had a lot of animals in my life that I would take care of. Me and my husband would watch his grandparents dog when they went on trips. We would make sure we did EVERYTHING they asked us to do and also keep the dog company such as play with her. Trust me the grandma was very strict on what she wanted us to do for her dog and we satisfied her needs. Anything you would ask me to do I will do everything you need me to do. Such as Feeding,Showering,Taking it out to potty, cleaning up the poop and the most important thing of all PLAY WITH THEM! I also, try to teach them to shake or sit, just the basics. Then i’ll give them a treat for their good listening/behaviors.Now I know its not “professional” work but I consider it as experience. I love animals so much! I want to become a veterinarian when I start going into college. Its my passion to keep pets safe and happy. I currently JUST moved to Washington in August 2024, and I had a job at Amazon but it was seasonal so I’m currently unemployed, so I have all the time in the world. I have a fenced backyard and it’s plenty of space for the doggy to exercise by running around and just having fun with my black Labrador. I take my girl on walks when it’s sunny so she can stretch her legs and get a mini exercise. I make sure she is on a potty schedule, so basically every 2-3 hours she goes outside.

Sarah K.
“Sarah is incredible! Going out of town is always nerve-wracking for my husband and I as we hate leaving our dogs behind. Sarah took the time to send pictures and videos throughout the day, take them on walks, and even keep up with our tedious feeding for our senior pup. Sarah is great with communication and responds well when we have any questions. I highly recommend Sarah for not only dogs but other pets as well! You would not regret.”


Stefanique S.
“My dog is like my kid and knowing that they are being well taken care of really puts my mind at ease. I was anxious about boarding my dog and decided to give Rover a try instead. It was totally worth it! My dog tends to get anxious and has a bit of separation anxiety so it was wonderful to actually have someone watching over him at their house and ensuring he got the love and care he needed while I was away. Stefanique was fantastic! I recieved daily updates and he seemed to be having an absolute blast. It was an all around wonderful experience and so much less stressful for both me and my dog. At all points I knew he was happy, wasn't trapped in a kennel all day, and was given lots of love and attention. I will definitely be utilizing Rover going forward, specifically with Stefanique, for all of my pet sitting/dog walking needs.”


Aubrey N.

“Aubrey was an AMAZING sitter! She showed our boys so much love and they absolutely adored her! We will 100% use her again in the future! If she’s available, she is your girl!”


Elena O.
“Elena is a wonderful person. She brings light to every room and person. She loves pets and has a lot of experience taking care of them. Growing up she had a few pet cats, rats and fish. I would recommend Elena for any pet sitting job.”
Spanaway dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ashlee did an amazing job watching over my dog. I had to book last minute given my dog hadn’t been boarded before. She was very accommodating and came by to make sure he was fed, had full water bowl and gave him some love while I was out. Really appreciate going above and beyond picking up an unexpected package and placing it in a secure location until I came back. I’ll definitely reach out again the next time I am going out of town.
