“Maggie checked all boxes to make you feel comfortable leaving your fur and feather babies! She responded promptly and took great care in leaving thoughtful and detailed “report cards” for checkins. Upon returning the kittens and chickens were so happy and at ease. The house was also very clean. Highly recommend Maggie :)”
“Ana was wonderful! Very responsive, friendly, totally reliable and a natural with our dogs. She watched our two Labradors for a couple days, she was great about sending notes and pictures of how things were going, our dogs loved her! We would definitely recommend her services!”
“Jerrie is absolutely amazing and our cats did not hide from her. We were worried they would hide and stop eating but they did great. Jerrie always updated us and sent pictures. We will be working with Jerrie again. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Once again Deidre was amazing with my pups! I think they recognize her now because they are starting to come out of their kennel for her with no issues! Which is a huge accomplishment for them.”
“Vanessa was very nice and very flexible with the scheduling. Despite me only really wanting an update on my cat and not my roommates, she still provided pictures for both. Thankful to have booked her.”
“Uhhhh-mazing!!! Love her so much very nice girl took lots of photos of my cats for me so I didn’t miss them too much ❣️ fed them at all the times and asked and my cats even started to warm up to her, which is hard to do with 2 rescues!!! 10/10”
“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.”
“We are sooo grateful for Becky! We have a kitty (Milo) with recent medical issues and Becky was able to help last minute and give Milo his meds and spent some time with both of our cats each day while we were away. Thank you so much Becky!!”
“Angela did such a great job looking after our cat. She made extra effort to care for her. Great communication the whole time we were gone. Went above and beyond. Thank you so much for!”
“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! 💛”
“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.”
“Kristina took awesome care of our 2 cats and we felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She is a great sitter and we hope to call on her again on our next away trip. Thanks Kristina! 😊”
“Lizzy dropped in to take care of our 2 cats while we were on vacation for a week. She was wonderful! She took care of everything and sent lots of updates on how things were going. We felt completely at ease knowing our cats were being cared for. I'd 100% recommend her!!”
“Naomi is wonderful! She communicates very well and spends a lot of time personalizing her drop in visits to make sure my pup is fully fulfilled while I’m gone. She has a calm demeanor and is so patient with my wild girl! Highly recommend!”
“Hannah was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, which was especially great for me as an anxious first time Rover user. She was always quickly responsive and thorough with the reports, and most important of all, Ninja loved her.”
“I tried Rover app for a first time with Erica and I had great experience. Through this house sitting my kitties were happy, I got plenty of updates. I felt at ease the entire time!”
Tumwater cat parents share their Rover experiences
Johanna is always amazing! She's so good with Oscar's care and he absolutely adores her. He used to be desperate for attention when I came home from work trips but since Johanna became our regular sitter, he has such a good time with her that it seems like he doesn't even mind that I'm gone.
Thank you, Vita for taking such excellent care of our cats! Our time away was very enjoyable as we knew that are fur babies were cared for so well. Vita came twice a day and administered medication to one of our 17 year-old cats and sent pictures of her playing with them and being so content and happy. We will definitely use her again!

We absolutely love Erin and could not be happier with the care she gave our kitties. They adore her and were so relaxed and comfortable with her, which says everything. She spent meaningful time with them and genuinely cared about them. We came home to happy, content cats, which is the best feeling. She even brought in packages from our porch, which was such a thoughtful extra touch. We trust her completely and would recommend her without hesitation.
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 😊
