“Zach is VERY good and attentive with our elderly Sadie. He gets her to eat which we sometimes can't even do. He's great when on a walk paying attention to not pushing her to go to fast or to far. Thanks Zach!”
“Absolutely wonderful — we couldn’t have asked for better care for Winston & Rosie! Johanna was fantastic from our very first message. She was quick to reply, super friendly, and incredibly flexible while we worked out a meet-and-greet time. When she came to meet the pups she was warm and patient, and we instantly felt comfortable leaving them in her care. Her updates during the drop-ins and house sitting were outstanding — detailed, reassuring, and full of adorable photos that made being away so much easier. She handled Rosie’s initial nervousness perfectly (gave her space, used treats, and adapted walks until she was wagging and excited), while Winston had a blast on his outings. Every check-in felt thoughtful and personalized. Johanna is professional, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. She went above and beyond to keep us in the loop and make sure the pups were happy and safe. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and zero stress. We would (and will!) book Johanna again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much — you’re a 10/10 sitter! 🐾”
“I’ve used a few different sitters on Rover before and have had great experiences, but Brett truly went above and beyond. He sent tons of pictures during each drop-in with the cutest (and funniest) commentary, which made being away so much easier. He even made friends with my cat who normally hides from strangers — I was shocked! He was also extra gentle and loving with my senior dog, which meant so much to me. It’s clear he genuinely cares. I would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him.”
“Savannah took great care of our cat and dog while we were out of town. It was our first time hiring someone to drop in and we were a little nervous about the whole idea. Savannah immediately put those concerns at ease. She has a really good energy with animals and our girls knew it right away. Highly recommended!”
“Aaliyah was great with my Beau. He’s very passionate about his pool time and Aaliyah made him a happy boy by playing fetch with him in the pool. She was very communicative which I really appreciate.”
“Erica was an absolute angel!! She went above and beyond while taking care of our two cats. They aren't the easiest siblings in the world, but Erica was like the cat whisperer for them. She spent a lot of time with them, fed them, and played with them every day. We felt so good and comfortable leaving them in Erica's hands. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet-sitting needs!”
About: I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, chickens, and a lizard. I have pet-sit for friends and family. I have a passion for animals and every animal deserves love, care, respect, and attention. I'm studying Art at The Evergreen State College, but I don't have any work on the side so I have plenty of time for your furry friends! I adopted an indoor cat from a shelter that I walk weekly. She is vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. I am a huge advocate for spaying and neutering animals because there are so many animals that need homes in shelters. I also do not hit or yell at animals.
“Annmarie was fabulous! I would use her again! She is thoughtful and caring about your pet. Sent pictures and you can tell she cares for your family pet kindly. So glad to have found her!!! Thank you”
“Chloe stopped by every other day for nearly 3 weeks to care for my 5 ducks and 2 cats. She was communicative and reliable. Everyone was healthy and happy when I got home. I hope to book her again!”
About: I’ve had animals in my life for 12+ years; horses, cats, dogs and reptiles! I currently have 2 cats of my own, a horse, a snake, and have had a dog in the past. I am my family and neighborhood’s house sitter, dog walker and animal caregiver. I have worked with 15+ families and their animals and built strong relationships with them. I work and am in college full time, but my schedule is extremely flexible! Many of my days and nights are free and available for time with your animals. I am happy to accommodate you and your pet’s schedule. My cat Toast is friendly with dogs and cats. I have a big house centrally located and near I-5, making for an easy pick up and drop off commute. I am happy to come to you and work with you on time and availability. I am always careful to keep gates and doors shut/locked, and I keep an extremely clean environment!
“This week I was unable to make it home at lunch each day to let my pups out but I wasn’t worried about them because Deidre was available to do drop in visits. She is amazing and both my pups love it when she visits them”
“Maggie did an incredible job taking care of my dog on a holiday week while I was traveling! She was super responsive, gave great updates and took lots of pictures. She went the extra mile when my dog had a slight health issue and even called me to make sure I had all the details and felt comfortable with next steps.”
“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!”
About: Our dogs have been our best friends for 20 years. We give them the treatment they deserve such as tons of pampering, love and care! We are new retirees looking to fill our days and as pet lovers we decided we should share that time and love to other furbabies! We had three beautiful Golden Retrievers, all now in doggie heaven ♡ and we currently have an almost 4 year old, playful, male Goldendoodle to keep your your furbaby company. We have a fenced yard and we live in a quiet neighborhood, close to parks and a lake nearby to take them walking! We work from home so we have a ton of time with your fur baby. He/she is always welcome during days for parents that work and even overnights if the parents travel. We have a fenced yard that is good size so there is a place to run around along with walks. Your fur baby will always have someone near them to make sure they are safe.
“Helena did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. She is dedicated to making sure all aspects of their needs are met and she goes the extra mile. I especially appreciate the time she spent getting to know both of them. I have a very shy one and she was able to interact with him much more than I expected. She is also a great communicator. I definitely recommend her!”
“Jerrie wad the best. Always attentive to Mike's needs as well as keeping me updated with pics and messages of how things were going. I have recommended her to my friends and family.”

Vanessa told fantastic care of our dogs when we were out of the country. She took FANTASTIC photos of them and sent daily updates so we felt very reassured they were in good hands while we were gone! AND our dogs put her through so much drama and she just let it roll off, no big deal! Vanessa is a saint!
Madisyn is really great. She is super organized, asked good questions when meeting the dogs and was very thorough with her sharing about how the dog sit went. My anxiety about leaving my dogs with someone new is completely erased as she was very on top of things. We are definitely looking forward to having her take care of our two dogs again!
Lizzy was an outstanding dog sitter! She took amazing care of my dogs and kept me updated on everything and sent lots of photos! My dogs were super happy to see her highly recommend her as a dog sitter! She even helped with issues involving my fire alarm and stayed for my maintenance people to try and fix it couldn’t have picked a better dog sitter!
Kate did a terrific job and took excellent care of our pets. She went above and beyond what was expected and took the time to bring in a couple packages that were delivered while we were gone and vacuumed up some kitty litter spillage. We would hire her again in a heartbeat and will recommend her to family and friends.
Aaliyah dropped in on our cat Louise while we were away for a day, and I'd recommend contacting her for your cat sitting needs! We were nervous to use a Rover sitter for the first time, and she put us at ease with a video chat before hand. She sent pictures of Louise, and the whole visit was so easy to coordinate. Thank you Aaliyah!
Ket was truly a lifesaver and an absolute gem of a sitter. We contacted her very last minute, and without hesitation she was more than willing to step in and help care for our cats, Lucy and Peter. From the very beginning, communication was easy, reassuring, and thoughtful. We had already left the U.S. for vacation a few weeks before she came, so we scheduled a video call to explain everything in detail—our situation, how our fur babies were doing, their routines, and all the instructions for the house. Ket was attentive, asked great questions, and made us feel completely at ease right away. It was clear she genuinely cared and took the responsibility seriously. While we were away, she followed every instruction perfectly and went above and beyond. She made sure Lucy and Peter were well-fed, played with, and showered with love and attention. She cleaned their feeder, water fountain, and litter box machine thoroughly, keeping everything spotless. On top of that, she kindly brought in our Chewy online order and even took our trash can out so it could be picked up—small details that made a huge difference and showed how thoughtful she is. Lucy and Peter were clearly comfortable and happy with her, which means everything to us. Coming home knowing our cats were loved and our home was well cared for was priceless. We would absolutely, without a doubt, have Ket again. She is reliable, kind, proactive, and genuinely wonderful. Highly, highly recommended! 💛
We felt very comfortable with Rylee and recommend her services without hesitation. We will definitely ask her to pet sit in the future if she is available. She made the effort to understand what our cat needed, communicated reliably with us, sent pictures and left things clean. We weren't sure if our cat would take medicine from another person but she did with Rylee.
We're so grateful to have had Xiu look in on our kitty while we were overseas for almost 2 weeks. She allowed us to relax and not stress, knowing our Cookie was getting the best care ❤️ Xiu kept an open line of communication, sent daily updates with pictures and videos and handled changes like a pro! We'll happily hire her again 😊
