Amy did a phenomenal job looking after our place for an extended period of time! Not only did she do a great job looking after our two kitties, she’s also took out trash, brought in packages, and watered our plants. We love Amy!

Cathleen once again worked her magic on my motley crew. My old man has a lot of anxiety when I’m away, but it all melts away when Cathleen visits him. She is the pug whisper. She even knows how to manage my attention hog so everyone gets some love. She always go above and beyond, even helping out with little things like changing the bag in my litter box so I’m not coming home to any smells.

Samantha is the greatest! She's great at communicating before and during her cat drop in visits, and she also does a great job managing routine care, pills, and angry cats who don't like strangers in their space. Looking forward to working with her again soon!

This was my first time booking with Emilia but certainly not my last! She was very consistent with thorough updates and provided many photos—I could tell she made my cats feel at ease. She even fed my beta/shrimp and watered my plants! If you’re looking for a caring, communicative and trustworthy sitter, Emilia is your person!

About: As a 4th‑year Informatics student at the University of Washington, I’m naturally detail‑oriented and dependable — but my real foundation in pet care comes from growing up with 20+ breeds and species of animals. I’ve spent my whole life learning how different personalities communicate, what helps them feel safe, and how to build trust at their pace. I currently live with three cats, so I’m especially tuned in to the little things: body‑language shifts, routine preferences, and comfort cues. Whether I’m caring for a cat or a dog, I focus on creating a calm, predictable day — fresh food and water, clean spaces, gentle enrichment, and companionship that matches their energy. Every pet I care for gets the same patience, warmth, and respect I give my own. I’m a part‑time UW student and part‑time worker, so my schedule is steady and predictable. I build pet care into my daily routine — morning and evening check‑ins, fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, walks or playtime, and calm companionship. Weekly, I make sure pets get extra enrichment, light grooming, and a tidy, comfortable space. No matter how full my week is, your pet’s routine stays consistent and cared for. I share my apartment with three cats, so the environment here is naturally calm, pet‑friendly, and set up with animals in mind. There are plenty of cozy resting spots, clean spaces, and enrichment areas that keep pets comfortable and stimulated. Living with multiple cats has taught me how to maintain a peaceful, well‑managed home where routines stay consistent and every pet has room to feel safe and relaxed. Whether I’m caring for your cat or your dog, they’ll be in a space that’s warm, tidy, and designed with animals’ comfort in mind.

Caroline is such a pro and genuinely loves animals. I totally trust her to give my cat with cardiac issues the medication that he needs. She was great at following the schedule needed as well! I loved the pictures she sent with every visit of the kitties enjoying their favorite treat. She updated me frequently and asked questions as they came up. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any special needs pet parent looking for a sitter.

Sami went above and beyond to give our cats the best care possible. She helped take care of small extra tasks like watering the plants and checking the mailbox which was really helpful since we were gone for a whole month, and when one of our cats started scratching himself excessively, she helped us troubleshoot what might be wrong and started feeding him wet food daily which really helped him a lot. She always sent pictures of the litter box, water and kitties in the check-ins which really helped ease my mind that all was well so I could fully enjoy my vacation. Thank you so much Sami!

She was very accommodating and helpful, and really went the extra mile! I would absolutely recommend her as a sitter for anyone who wants complete peace of mind while they are away on a trip 😁

Liberty and Caleb are the best pet sitters you could ask for!! This was my first time using Rover, and they were so communicative and assuring that it made my first out of state trip completely stress-free. I cannot thank them enough for the great job they did taking care of my cat, and next time I’m traveling, I would absolutely book them again!!

She is very responsible and took care of our cats very well. She informed us immediately to me and tried to solve the issue when she ran into the water problem. We enjoyed the pictures she sent us every day. We would hire her again next time.

Hongyu is wonderful! I have an older cat who’s not the easiest to look after - we’re always trying different medications and litter boxes etc to keep him healthy and comfortable. She always goes above and beyond to make sure instructions are followed and Hoover is cared for, and sends lots of photos. She event brought in our grocery delivery that we had forgotten to cancel before a trip! Thank you Hongyu 🌟

Tetiana helped with a very last-minute booking and CRUSHED IT. She followed the detailed instructions, was timely in her visits, and super responsive. I felt great knowing my very-shy kitty (who Tetiana never even saw! LOL) was in her care; I will definitely be rebooking with her. Thank you, Tetiana!

Katie was absolutely amazing! Not only did she respond to my anxiety texts (which she really didn't have to do) almost immediately, but she bonded with my cat so well that I actually do believe that he misses her. I loved all the photos that she took during my trip, and she did an incredible job at making sure he was looked after. She also took special care to confirm with me he was comfortable during the heat that we had earlier in the month, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to book with Rover, and will definitely schedule with her again if I need to leave town for an extended period of time.
