“I highly recommend Sheri for your dog sitting needs! She took amazing care of our pup during drop in visits for a week when we had to work. Thanks Sheri and we look forward to booking with you in the future.”

About: I have been caring for both cats and dogs my entire life, personally and professionally. This includes disabled + senior care! I do my best to match the energy & demeanor of each animal; if they are extra active & playful, I’m prepared to keep up! If they are more timid & anxious, I’m very gentle, patient, & soft spoken. I love animals a lot & I’m a natural when it comes to meeting their needs. I have an office job 3 days a week as well as a 4-year old but my time is shared and very flexible. I’m free by 4pm every single day and weekends are open. I have a 4 bedroom house with 2 cats & some gates so I generally keep them separated. My backyard is fenced in as well
“Rhea did a great job with Spock! She sent cute pictures of his outside time and him getting a treat, and she put a bowl of water down when his fountain stopped working 10 out of 10 stars!!”

“Amanda was great with my black lab! She visited my home when I was at work to let my dog out. Amanda provided my dog with lots of play time, a walk, and sent plenty of pictures. Would highly recommend her services! 🐕🦺🐾”


“Mary Kay is wonderful. We have a special needs dog that needs regular drop-ins at specific times because he has a medication routine. Mary Kay is who we rely on for help. She is dependable, communicative, and considerate. And she always goes above and beyond for our special needs pup. She even takes the time to give some love to our cats when she drops in. It’s clear she cares for animals. We couldn’t ask for someone better to entrust our little loved ones to. Thank you Mary Kay!”

“I’ve had Kenny for a week. She’s amazing . I couldn’t ask for a better drop in sitter to be honest. With the commitment, level of care PLUS the time spent I can’t imagine having hired anyone else. Moving forward she will be my go to. I intend to keep her for weeks. In the hospital having a baby and complications since I can’t come home and she made accommodations to meet me; tend to my home and my cat. Very professional. Personal with the cat. Brought his confidence way up. On time, communication is perfect and documentation for visits is very reassuring for me and my daughter. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Thank you Kenna!!”


“I continue to be so thankful for and impressed with Genelle. She was much too gracious when I forgot to leave a key fob for my building but was able to make it work. Thank you thank you thank you Genelle!!!”
About: I have been pet-sitting since I was a little kid, and grew up with a mom as a vet, so a love of animals and concern for their well-being is deep in my bones. I was a volunteer at an animal shelter for three years, fostered cats and dogs for four years, and currently have two cats of my own. I love caring for cats, dogs, rodents, fish, and exotics of all ages. :) I work full time, so I can drop in early in the morning or evenings. Weekends are typically open and more flexible. I have a car and can come to you. I am happy to care for your fur friend in your home. I like to meet them ahead to build trust and will go all-in on playtime. Let m know if you need plants watered too!
About: I have grown up loving and caring for dogs of my own as well as others. I have always been the person people always call when they have some kind of animal emergency. I absolutely love animals and know a lot about taking care of them and many different types. They will get lots of attention and quality care for me. I will spoil your baby as much as you will let me! I can work on training and other fun activities to keep your dog’s mind distracted. I love cats as well and have lots of experience with them. I have lots of experience with special needs and elderly pets. I can administer any medication necessary. Thank you and have a good day! ? I have a flexible schedule so I can meet most needs. I keep in contact with you asap if there are any changes that are needed I live in a charming small house in the corner of Ferndale and a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. I have a fully fenced in backyard that is about 97% privacy fence. There’s one little corner where my dog can talk to the dog in back through a chain-link fence.
“Rachel is the greatest! She's done drop-ins for our pups on two separate occasions and always goes above and beyond. She's always on schedule, shows such deep care for our dogs and home, is exceptionally communicative, and is so fantastic to work with all around. You may not be able to find a better dog helper in the world!”

About: I grew up in a household of all kinds of pets! I've taken care of our fur babies as well as those of relatives since I was about 12. I'm also very experienced with handling all different sizes of dogs from big babies to smaller ones. As for cats I have two, one is older and the other is younger so I'm used to entertaining less active cats to get them active as well as playing with little balls of energy to burn some of it! From cleaning to walking to feeding I have experience in several different aspects of pet care. I'm currently a full time student from home so my schedule is a bit flexible! I dictate my schedule so we can typically work something out. I do have some weekend days reserved but I can always attempt to accommodate your needs. I will be very diligent and looking at whatever care plan you provide for your animals. I will be sure to take any safety precautions if animals have health issues as well as to make sure I am giving them the best care possible.
“Tara is a great cat sitter! She was very patient with and loving toward my standoffish cat, very prepared for everything required for catsitting, and willing to go above and beyond when I needed it while I was away. I would definitely recommend her as a catsitter and am looking forward to working with her again in the future!”
About: My love for animals runs deep, beginning with my fifteen year old yorkee, Riley🐾, and my two year old kitty, Daisy🌸. I can provide the endless energy needed for puppies and the gentle patient care needed for senior dogs with health problems My day job is only part time, so I have plenty availability for pet care!! Even early mornings (starting at 6am), late nights (10pm latest), or anytime in between😋. I always respect the boundaries of pets and match personalty. Whether your fur baby is energetic and upbeat, or shy and unsure (cats included😉), I will care for them with love and patience.
About: In a fast paced environment it is easy to overlook our place in the world as animals. Being in close contact with other beings can create connectedness and a sense of place in nature. Simple tasks like dog walking may seem beneath most people, but I see it as an act graciousness and a chance to connect to other beings. As a walker or sitter my goal is to consciously occupy space with your pet. This, for me, means accommodating and changing as situations seem fit. I would also like to stay conscious of any owners wishes and feelings regarding the service I may provide and remember that it is only a service if it works to make their and their pets experience more comfortable.
“Katherine was wonderful with our lovely lady puppy Stella. She was timely, updated us throughout her visit, and was super comforting with our puppy. We will absolutely be working with her again in the future!”

“Julia was a great fit for our Patches! As first-time cat owners, my fiancée and I were nervous to leave Patches at home so we could go on vacation… but Julia sent us updates with every visit and multiple pictures as well. Not to mention, Julia is super flexible and easy to get ahold of. We certainly hope to book with her again!”

“Isabela was a blessing with my kitty at very short notice when I had a last minute trip. She checked in and sent pics of my cat and made me feel less guilty about leaving my sweet girl. I’d definitely book her again”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - University District
Amanda was referred to me by a neighbor who spoke very highly of her. I was so worried about leaving my cats and felt so much relief after being given the referral, instead of using a neighbor to help me. She followed my directions and I never worried the entire time I was gone as I knew everything was being taken care of. My cats are very fearful of strangers in the house and I want them to get to know her so I can feel comfortable when I leave on trips and they no longer are afraid. I will continue to use her going forward. She sent pictures and it looked like they would make an appearance when she was here so hopefully, that will get better each time.
First time user of Rover. I went out of the country for two weeks and my normal dog sitter fell thru last minute. I went and used Rover after many people recommending. I messaged a few sitters and sally was the first to respond. I cant begin to express how happy I was with her services and providing a great experience for my dog and cat. She was very transparent, provided multiple updates and was very timely with all her visits during the two weeks I was gone. I booked her for 3x a day for two weeks and showed up with them all on time. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again for sure!

Max is awesome! He goes above and beyond to make your fur baby feel loved and taken care of. He sends pictures daily which is so comforting when being away for a long period of time. Great communication and he connected with my cat so quick. When my cat is usually so guarded and shy with new people. Would definitely recommend his services!!

"Carissa was PHENOMENA with my cats! Even my most skittish cat warmed up to her quickly, which is rare!! She clearly has a natural way with animals and made sure my pets felt safe and loved while I was away. I came home to calm, happy, and well-cared cats. I will definitely be booking with Carissa again and highly recommend her
