“Marlena and her family were loving, caring, and communicative during my dogs stay. They sent lots of photos, handled his food aggression with other dogs perfectly, and even helped with training during his stay! He stayed over the holidays so they let him open his presents as well. They truly love and care for animals and have training and experience to do so. I would highly recommend them!”


“Ethan really filled in in a pinch for us when our sitter situation didn’t work out less than 12 hours beforehand. Super responsive, and having a really awesome setup and really thoughtful care, I’d highly recommend Ethan!”

“Took excellent care of our active young dog. Sent photos and videos daily. He definitely had a good time playing with her dogs! Thank you for all your help while we were away!”

“Timothy was an amazing dog sitter! He took such great care of my dog, Queen, and his communication was excellent throughout. It’s always hard being away from my baby, but I felt completely at ease knowing she was in Timothy’s care. I could tell she was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet!”


“Kristina is amazing! I got pictures and or video daily of Cali. She had so much fun. This was our first time away from Cali, she became part of our family in March. We traveled home for 2 weeks and weren’t able to bring her. I was nervous and anxious before leaving her but as soon as we had a meet and greet I knew Kristina was the right fit for Cali. I knew she was in a loving and safe home. Kristina even bathed her for us before we picked her up! She then sent Cali home with a bag of her favorite snacks and a card for us. We will definitely be using Kristina again and highly recommend her!!!”
“Jennifer did an amazing job with Silo. It was my first time leaving her overnight with a Rover, and Jennifer methodically acclimated Silo to her space, introduced to her to her own pets and made she had all the information she needed to take good care of her. It was very confidence inspiring, and I got tons of pictures of my pup while I was gone. Overall a great experience, I would definitely leave Si with Jennifer again anytime!”

“Dylan was a perfect fit! He is great at communicating with you, and makes the whole process smooth and easy. He is well versed in various breeds and enjoys their companionship. Our puppy was still learning, and Dylan was able to continue the process and schedule. I would highly recommend utilizing his services if you are in need of someone.”

“Christen and Hugo were, in a word, FANTASTIC. They walked my two pooches at least a few times per day, took them to the dog park and when a minor incident required my Bear visit the vet, they were all over it, keeping me well informed all along. SO thankful for their diligence and caring!”
“Mark and Jennifer are the ideal dog sitters! we left our 2 black labs with them for one week and it was like leaving them with entrusted family members - they really go above and beyond to ensure our boys are cared for and loved, just as we do. What an awesome family - thanks so much again!”

“I received pictures of Leroy doing well, on a walk, making new dog friends and even a video of Leroy's play time along with a picture of him finally snoozing. He had a great day! I hope Bobbi continues to have availability for him as I have had a lot of last minute needs helping my family at this time in my life.”

“Rebecca had my dog Kyra over a holiday weekend when I needed someone last minute for a family emergency! This was my first time using rover and She was so quick to respond and was so kind! I could tell instantly that Kyra was going to be well taken care of and have fun with her, her family, and the other pups! She’s friendly, kind, and clearly has a big heart for animals! Kyra came home happy and tuckered out from a few days of playing! I highly recommend her!”

“Khaytlen was absolutely wonderful! We had our dogs with her for 9 days while away and we received information and updates multiple times per day with photos, video clips and text messages letting us know the dogs were doing well. If we reached out, she responded very promptly. The pups had the best time with her crew, playing and getting tuckered out on adventures. I would highly recommend her services. Thanks for everything!”

“Loc did a wonderful job caring for my chihuahua for the week. She is 1 yr 5 months old with pretty severe anxiety issues (medicated) and it was her first time being away from us so I was very nervous. Loc has excellent communication skills and shared daily photos and videos. Our dog had a great time playing with Loc's adorable puppy and enjoyed daily walks. I highly recommend Loc for your pet sitting needs - we have already rebooked him for another trip in two weeks! Thank you Loc for giving our family a sense of freedom back (the ability to travel) while taking top-notch care of our dog. You're the best!”

“Alyssa was very dependable, caring & made sure to update us on our kitties progress. Our cat is very shy & scared but managed to warm up to Alyssa & cuddle with her. Told us a lot & would definitely recommend her & trust her again for our scaredy cat! She is a gem!!”

“Mollie took great care of our pup! You could tell that she loves caring for animals. She sent so many great pictures and was great at putting our family at ease while she watched our pup! We will definitely have her watch our dog again!”

“Kelly is amazing! She is so sweet and welcoming. She took such great care of my little guy. She made sure to give daily updates with pictures on how he was adjusting to her home. I would 100% recommend Kelly to anyone looking for dog sitting services.”

“Molly was wonderful with Sherman and clearly has a love of dogs. I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking again. Thanks Molly for taking good care of my angel.”

Spanaway pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lashon took excellent care of my dogs- there are three and they have very different personalities. Her family quickly understood the temperaments and neediness of my old ladies and energetic puppy. I will definitely book again! The puppy didn’t want to come home. That is always a great sign!

Nicole was awesome with our dog. He has some behavioral issues, so he’s not an easy dog but Nicole was a pro and he even came back to us with a more chill demeanor. It was so fun she sent us txt and video updates the whole weekend too! we’re really grateful she could watch our doggo. 10/10

If you’ve ever met a Vizsla, you know they’re not really a dog, they’re a Velcro powered, high octane emotional support missile. So trusting someone to watch ours was basically like handing over a caffeinated toddler with four legs and separation anxiety. And somehow… Kathy nailed it. Our Vizsla came home happy, exercised, emotionally fulfilled, and only mildly dramatic (which is a huge win). We received daily updates and plenty of action shots. Most importantly, they treated our stage-five clinger like family. 10/10. Would absolutely trust Kathy again with our beautiful, needy, rust-colored tornado

Wendy did a great job with watching our dog Ziya and cat Leo. She kept us updated with how they were doing with pictures and videos and responded in a timely manner. When dropping my fur babies off, I initially felt scared because I’ve never had a stranger watch them before, but after initially meeting Wendy and hearing about how Ziya and Leo were doing I felt a whole lot better. I would bring them back to her again. Thanks Wendy!

This was our first time using Rover and Stephanie did a great job taking care of our fur babies. It was a last minute booking and she was kind and accommodating, meeting us in the evening at a time that fit our schedule so we could meet her and see where they would be staying. Will definitely see if she is available next time.
