About: Growing up with different kinds of pets(dogs, cats,birds,turtles,goldfish,rabbits,hamsters…) throughout 30 years of my life, I can’t imagine a minute without pets.And that’s the reason why I started my career as a pet groomer 13 years ago. I am experienced in taking care of all breeds of dogs and cats,as well as other pets.Now I am a ‘mom’ of a 5 year-old dachshund and a 4 year-old Frenchie,I just can’t love them more and am so looking forward to meeting your fur kids! I just moved in Seattle so I am available almost everyday!Feel free to contact me if you have any questions and I will be glad to hear from you.Look forward to meeting your fur kiddos soon! I’m available almost everyday since I don’t go to work. I spend most of my time with my pets at home so as well as your pets! I live in an apartment with a fenced yard. I have two friendly pups that will be your fur baby’s company .If your pet is shy I can leave a quiet space for her!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and also have more than 2 years of experience caring for cats. I’ve raised and cared for different breeds including Goldendoodles, Border Collies, Poodles, West Highland Terriers, and Dachshunds. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs. I’ve helped administer ear medication, give insulin injections for diabetic dogs, and support recovery for dogs with patellar luxation and ACL injuries. I understand how important patience, consistency, and careful monitoring are when pets need extra care. I’m attentive to each dog’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while staying in my home. I also offer a first-time 4-hour daycare trial for new clients so your dog can get comfortable with the environment. I work remotely for about 5–6 hours a day, so I’m home most of the time and able to give pets plenty of attention and care. My day usually starts with a morning walk and breakfast for the dogs before I begin work. During the day I take breaks to check on pets and spend time playing with them. In the afternoon around 4pm, I usually take dogs for a walk to a nearby park for about 30 minutes. In the evening I spend time relaxing and playing with them, and I always take dogs out for a final potty break before bedtime. I provide a calm, safe, and pet-friendly home environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and routine so they feel comfortable and relaxed while staying with me. I live near parks and walking areas, so dogs will get regular walks and outdoor time. I make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and supervision. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and at home.
“Yufang took such great care of Taco! Her home is well set up for dog care — safe, clean, and comfortable. Taco got plenty of playtime, attention, and belly rubs, and came home happy and relaxed. I really appreciated all the pics and video.”
“Ling has taken great care of my dog. She communicates quickly over messages, takes my pup on frequent walks, and provides detailed updates throughout the stay. I don't think there's anything she could do better and my dog always comes back happy 🙂.”
About: I've cared for animals my entire life, starting with my own pets as a child. I've also provided trusted care for friends', neighbors, and family members dogs, cats, horses, birds, and small critters. I'm especially experienced with rescue pets, having cared for my own dog who was rescued as a street dog from Taiwan, as well as 2 kittens rescued from a bucket on the streets of LA. This has taught me patience, compassion, and how to support pets with unique backgrounds and needs. I treat every animal with the same love, respect, and attention I have given my own. Because every pet is family. I'm a single mom and I run my own small business from home, which allows me to make my own schedule and stay flexible. My kids are in daycare during the day, so I'm fully available to focus on pet care. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits anytime between 7:30 AM to 5 PM allowing plenty of time of time to focus on your pet's needs. I can also be available on the weekends anytime with enough notice. Please feel free to reach out to me if you need care outside of these hours and we can try to work something out. At this time, caring for pets in my home can be a bit more challenging, as I have two small children and two resident cats. Because of this, in-home care would need to be the right fit for everyone involved. I may be open to hosting a small animal that is comfortable around children and cats, calm in a family environment, and able to transition well into a shared space. My priority is always safety, comfort, and a positive experience for both your pet and family.
“Lauren provides outstanding care for my dog, Phoebe, during daycare. I love receiving regular updates and photos, which gives me great peace of mind while I'm at work. When I pick Phoebe up, she’s always happy and relaxed, and now she gets excited when we arrive for drop-off. I rely on Lauren’s daycare services weekly and will definitely be booking Phoebe for overnight boarding when I go away. Highly recommend – 5 stars!”
“Eric is an amazing sitter!! Really makes sure all dogs will be okay together and created such a welcoming environment that my little one didn't want to go home. Thank you so much for being amazing! We'll definitely be back.”
“Best pup whisperer ever! Takes him on nice long walks and/or gives him lots of play and exercise at home when dog sitting. He is always excited to see her and doesn't want to leave her. 10 out of 5 stars from Alfie”
“Our dog is very shy and fearful of humans, but he really loves Raquel!! He’s not even that eager to leave with us when we pick him up (lol), which is very surprising and encouraging! Also, Raquel’s dog Nico is a wonderful role model!”
“Michelle was fantastic! Our dogs felt completely comfortable with her, and she kept us updated throughout the day with messages and photos. We really appreciate the extra care - she even took them on a walk.”
“Scott has been a great sitter for Millie! He is reliable and punctual, always meeting me downstairs at the arranged time for an efficient pick-up/drop-off. Millie loves going to daycare in the morning and comes home happy and well taken care of!”

“Megan, Alex, and Maple were so good to CC! Maple had great puppy energy and CC came home wiped out from a fun play session. I booked pretty last minute and was happy they were able to watch her for me. Would love to have her go back!”
About: With my corgi Nori as my sidekick, together, we provide daycare days to relaxed overnight stays and refreshing walks. We make sure every pup feels happy, safe, and loved. Nori enjoys meeting new friends, and I make sure keep playtime supervised and stress-free. Expect wagging tails, regular updates, and lots of TLC. I work fully remote, so I'll be at home all day with your pup. We have a little yard out front and are in a great walking location. Pups are never left alone for long periods and receive consistent supervision, attention, and care. Because I’m home, I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, medication, and crate time if needed. I don't accept more than 2 dogs per day (for both boarding and day care) so you can be sure that your pup will get plenty of attention! I have a little fenced yard out front and a big living room space for the pups to play in, and plenty of space for crates if your pup uses one. Pups also welcome to chill the couch with tons of blankets, and also more than welcome to snuggle in bed if they so choose.
“We absolutely LOVED our time with Cheryl. She was so attentive to all of Millie’s needs and truly went above and beyond. She’s experienced, kind, reliable, and even spent time training Millie! We would definitely recommend her services and will be booking again.”
“Wonderful experience! My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable during her time with Margot. Communication was great, and I really appreciated the care and attention. I've already booked again! Highly recommend!”
About: As a young professional in a big city who is living without a pet for the first time in her life, I have greatly missed being around furry friends. Being a Rover allows me to spend quality time with your pets while also providing them with a fun and engaging experience rather than being cooped up inside all day. I work hybrid (3 days in the office and 2 days at home). However, the 3 days I’m in office (Tues - Thurs), I usually am home by 2/3pm. Because of this work schedule I’m available for pet care everyday past 3pm and some days the entire day. I live in an apartment where pets are free to roam with a large dog park. I also live close to the Katy trail and love long walks, so I am easily able to take pets outside and on walks.
“Cassandra has been absolutely wonderful with Gurley. She clearly cares deeply about the dogs in her care and treats Gurley like one of her own. She takes her on fun adventures with her dogs, Bam Bam and Pilot, and Gurley always comes home happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired. It is obvious she is having the best time. Cassandra is also incredibly responsive and communicative. She sends great photos and videos so I can see Gurley enjoying herself, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I always feel confident that Gurley is safe, well cared for, and genuinely loved. I would highly recommend Cassandra for dog walking, daycare, or any of her services. She is a true dog person and an exceptional caregiver.”
University District dog parents share their Rover experiences
Davis took amazing care of Flex for 4 days and did such an incredible job! He went above and beyond by sending us pictures of Flex, taking him to the dog park multiple times, walking him, and making sure he was well taken care of the entire time. He followed everything I asked and even taught Flex new tricks! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Flex was in such great hands. We are so thankful for all the care, attention, and love he gave Flex. I highly recommend Davis to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and amazing to care for their
Ruofei/Amber was so good with my dog! She was super thorough during our meet and greet, and trying to have Somi acclimated with the new environment and her dog Sesame, and very responsive to my messages. Thank you so much again, I will definitely be coming back!
Will was wonderful to Roxie. When I arrived, Roxie jumped up on him excitedly and followed him inside even though she had never met him before - she could sense that he was someone that she'd want to spend the day with. She had a great day and I would definitely use him again.
Leslie was amazing! We needed someone to puppy sit for us while in town for a couple evenings- we booked wayyyy last second- and Leslie said “no problem! I got you!” She’s has the exact energy you would want with your pet. Leslie watched our sweet 5 month old puppy like a pro!
Komal was amazing with Mufasa! She really helped out when I needed someone to care for him at the last minute. She took him on so many walks and really took the time to ease his anxiety during a really stressful situation. By the end of the week, Mufasa was really enjoying his time with Komal. We can’t thank her enough!
