Top rated Tumwater house sitters
“Robin was very professional. More importantly she was warm and compassionate with my pets. She took great care of them, communicated with me daily and left my home clean and tidy. I will definitely request her again.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Cassandra made it a fantastic experience. Found our new #1 pick for our time away from our animal family. Thank you Cassandra!”
“Vanessa really put our minds at ease while watching our dog while we were out of state for the holidays. She took care of our Boxer with just as much attention and care as we do and he absolutely loved spending time with her. I can tell that she is a dog lover just like myself! She was also very communicative, tidy, even made home made dog treats for our dog to celebrate Christmas.”
“Johanna was so attentive to my anxious little guy, taking the extra time and care to experiment with different ways to coax him to eat his less preferred soft foods after his oral surgery. She kept everything clean and tidy for me, was responsive and even proactive, and provided detailed updates twice a day as I requested. She even left a thoughtful hand written note for us when I got home about her stay, it was really special and I feel lucky to have found her on here. Big thank you Johanna, and highly recommend!”
“Maddie did an awesome job with our pooches. They were very well take care of and fell in love with Maddie. We got daily updates and pictures showing them being loved and spoiled.”
“Annmarie was super responsive and flexible when our flight got delayed, she was able to care for our dog the extra night and make the stressful situation a little less stressful! We would definitely hire her to watch our dog again.”
“Super communicator! Aaliyah was great at giving updates and keeping us in the loop about our two goofball dogs. Provided photos, double checked on our return times; had a great experience working with her and would recommend highly”
“Stephanie was outstanding — she watched our house and our dogs, and took great care of them both. She was thoughtful, detail-oriented, and patient. We would happily book with her again any time, and recommend her without reservation.”
“Alexa is fantastic with both my dog and my cat. She doesn't just walk my dog but will sit with each of them and provide them the much needed socialization and affection animals require. Her care and attentiveness is apparent. Thank you Alexa.”
“Both of my dogs, 3 year old Remi and 5 month old Maxx, loved Maggie! Remi can be timid of new people but she warmed up to Maggie within 2 minutes and found a best friend in her. Maggie sent pictures of the pups while I was away and the dogs were calm and happy upon my arrival home. 10/10 will request Maggie again if I ever need a sitter.”
“It was great having Kirsten watch Cooper again. He was truly sad to see her go! She took him on long walks, and was super flexible when our plans changed last minute. Coop's definitely looking forward to hanging out with her again!”
“Olivia and Tyler were awesome! I needed a last minute booking over a holiday weekend to deal with a family emergency. They were communicative and the pictures they sent clearly showed my independent and mistrustful of strangers pup having the best time. I would use them again.”
“This was my first experience using Rover and having a sitter for my dog, and I couldn’t be happier! Grace was absolutely amazing with Maisy. She kept us updated with daily photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing our girl was being so well cared for. On top of that, she left our home very clean! I felt completely comfortable and at ease throughout the entire experience. I would absolutely trust Grace to care for Maisy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter.”
“Jerrie makes me feel at ease leaving my 2 senior dogs with her. I was out of communication/service area while I was gone but felt comfortable that Jerrie could handle anything that comes up. She’s really wonderful.”
