“Jerrie is an amazing dog sitter. She is so loving to the pups and sends pics every day. She is very responsive and the pups have an big, beautiful area to play and run. Jerrie is the best sitter I have ever had and I would highly recommend her to everyone!! Our dogs LOVED her!!”
“It was Louie's first boarding experience away from home, in addition to being around other dogs.... he did great! Thank you, Tonya, for the attention you gave my puppy on this new experience. I appreciated the multiple photos and check-in messages as well. Louie will be visiting again! Valerie F.”
“Pamela was great for Tupac. He came back happy and as himself, most importantly. In the past my dogs have seemed a bit off or too thirsty when I get them back from sitters, but not this time. She took him on a walk and supervised him in her back yard playing with her dog, so he got a good amount of exercise. She also sent updates and photos, which was very reassuring. I highly recommend Pamela. I am not a very trusting person but I feel safe with her caring for my emotional support animal. She also ensures that all animals are properly vaccinated before she agrees to sit them, which I appreciate and isn’t always the case.”
“Top shelf folks! Everything you and your dog might hope for and more. Good people, dog friendly, super clean, nice neighborhood, clear prompt communication and a happy, healthy dog to greet me at the end of my journey. Thank you!!”
“Leanne’s level of care is exquisite. Her skills with a dog with leash aggression, and love of food was navigated beautifully. Her heart was immediately recognized by both me and my sweet dog. ARWEN felt immediately at home and got toys out of the toy box, drank water and jumped on the couch to be near Leanne. Erin is quite the couch potato, but Leanne got her out on walks every day, introduced her to the neighborhood, horses, and cats( (at a safe distance.) she sent wonderful photos and updates and I felt completely at ease to enjoy my international travel without concern for my dogs’s well-being. It was actually very hard for them to part ways. Very sweet connection. I would recommend Leanne for any of your precious dog’s needs.”
“Our two pups just completed their first stay with Deidre and we couldn’t be happier on the care they received and the communication she had with us. We hope that she will have the availability to care from them in the near future but anticipate that she will grow in popularity due to her 1st class service!”
“Annmarie did a fantastic job taking care of our 3 month old fur baby!. Her communication while watching our fur baby was great and we appreciated receiving pictures of her playing and getting all the cuddles. We will absolutly book Annmarie for any future dog sitter needs and highly recomend her!!.”
“My dogs ALWAYS enjoy staying with John. My smaller couch potato dog loves his calm household with granddaughter visits. His large, fenced backyard and lots of outdoor time chasing the ball and squirrels accommodates my larger more energetic dog. I’m a repeat client and will definitely board with John again!”
“Kristin was great! She sent me pics of my dog everyday and kept me updated with everything. I can tell that she took great care of my dog because she was so happy when I picked her up. Definitely want to book again :) thank you again, Kristin!”
“Hands down the best experience I've ever had with somebody watching my dog! Jo went above and beyond, kept me in the loop with everything that my boy was doing, and sent tons of pictures while she had him. 10/10 would recommend Jo to anybody and everybody who needs a reliable dog sitter. Can't thank her enough for how great she did!”
“Bobbie was great with our pups. She kept us updated and sent daily pics of the boys out for a walk or hanging out around the house. The seemed quite happy and comfortable with Bobbie and her husband Joseph. I would definitely recommend Bobbie and I plan to reach out the next time we need a doggy sitter.”
“Highly recommend. They have a beautiful home with a nice, spacious backyard. Marianne and Josh are kind and have a lot of experience with dogs. With two sweet dogs of their own, my dog had built in companions while I was away. They are warm, welcoming, and sent lots of cute/funny pics & updates. Your dogs will be loved open arms. So grateful my dog could spend the holiday with such a thoughtful, warm, and fun family! Thank you so much for loving Chai!”
“Sarah was a Rockstar with my puppy Beau. She went above and beyond to try different training techniques to prevent him from pulling and getting distracted during walks. She sent me detailed instructions on things that worked and didn't. I would highly recommend her fur baby care to anyone.”
“Jon and Anna took PERFECT care of Lilly while we were away. Lilly is 17 so she needs some patience and TLC. She got that and more with Jon and Anna. We're very pleased. I will absolutely use their services again and I won't hesitate for a moment to recommend them to others.”
“Jamie has watched Honey over night a few times now, she is absolutely wonderful with her and truly has a warming heart for animals. She is great with updating me throughout honey’s stay during the evening while I am at work, and will send me pictures. She has a big yard for dogs to run and play, and its fenced and gated. Jamie is so kind, I give her 5 stars, and I 100% recommend her to watch over your fur babies.”
“Erica was amazing and came through for a very minute request for a weeklong stay for my dog Luna. She was incredibly caring and responsive and Luna had an amazing time! Would use again in a heartbeat.”
Tumwater dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our pup got the princess treatment from Jennifer and her family! They even spoiled her with dinner and ice cream :D Our baby was so well cared for, clearly loved and beyond well taken care of. The pictures Jennifer sent us overjoyed us and kept us laughing everyday of our trip. There’s nothing that gives you more peace of mind and heart like trusting who is caring for her. She made so many new friends, and had the time of her life at Golden Camp. Jennifer was also so accommodating with giving Willow her eye medication. They’re THE BEST.
Our two pups just completed their first stay with Deidre and we couldn’t be happier on the care they received and the communication she had with us. We hope that she will have the availability to care from them in the near future but anticipate that she will grow in popularity due to her 1st class service!
Hazel had a great time staying with Bobbie for the weekend. Bobbie sent text and photo updates throughout the weekend and made sure Hazel had gotten energy out on a walk and went potty before I picked her up, which was very helpful. I could tell Hazel felt comfortable staying with her and would happily work with her again!
Olivia was an incredible sitter who took exceptional care of our two chihuahuas. I was quite nervous about leaving our little ones for the first time, but Olivia's reassuring updates and genuine enthusiasm made the experience so much more comfortable. We are truly grateful for all the kindness and care she showed while looking after our furry family members. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of them!
Wonderful as always! I’m so grateful for Lauren’s flexibility and the amazing care she gives my pup. My work schedule is pretty unpredictable, and she’s consistently dependable and accommodating with any requests I’ve had. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Jess is in such good hands.
