“Joanna and Mike were amazing! Most of my communication was with Joanna and she’s absolutely epic. Frequent/daily updates about Bella. I would definitely book again and so appreciate how welcome they made Bella feel and even me at drop off. 10/10 would definitely recommend!”

“Angel was responsive and super flexible to work with. We had a last minute schedule change and he was really accommodating. Our dog came back super happy!”

“Ruben is a first-class boarder, and I couldn't be happier with Luna's stay with him. He was always amazingly quick to reply to every message and kept me updated with pictures. Luna and I both look forward to the next time!”

“Maria took such excellent care of my dog, she really went above and beyond in making sure he was safe, comfortable, and cared for ! I wasn’t expecting it to be so snowy while I was away, and she provided shoes and a coat for him to borrow: so thoughtful and really providing the best care ! As a highlight she also sent many photos and videos and was very responsive via Rover. I highly recommend Maria !”

“Diana & Scott were wonderful! I felt super comfortable leaving my elderly dog with them and could tell she was very well taken care of! Also they sent great pictures! Would definitely recommend them!”
“Frankie had an amazing stay with Julia. She was very attentive and took great care of him. Also, she was great at communicating with us and making us feel comfortable, knowing that he was doing great. Highly recommended!”

“Khala is amazing! Super professional and dogs love her. This was my first time using Rover. I wasn’t sure about what to do and Khala was helpful in guiding me. She met my pup a few days before and let him get familiar. He was actually excited to go back when I had to drop him off. He had an awesome weekend and Khala sent plenty of pictures. I’m so happy I found somebody this awesome on the first try.”

“Roman was Charise’s first ever Rover dog and we were really happy to have connected with her for our 5-day trip. Charise was a great sitter—she sent detailed updates about how Roman was doing with Navi and hope he was settling in while we were away. Her home is very clean and Charise is a very warm and welcoming host. Navi is just the cutest little nugget ever, and I could tell immediately Roman would feel right at home with Charise. Our big GSD is a big baby and throws a bit of a fit every time we leave, but Charise and Navi were patient with him while he warmed up to the idea of us being away—by the time we returned, he was fully integrated into their little family. Roman is allowed on the couch and bed for cuddles, and Charise has a full basement for the dogs to run around and play, a small yard, and she takes them together on long walks. Roman came home fully pooped from a week of playing with Navi and we’ll definitely be using Charise in the future!”


“I am very grateful. Akon spent 7 days with Michael and returned very happy and well cared for. He kept me updated every day by sending me photos and videos. Thank you for taking such good care of him.”

“Amazing sitter for our dog! This was our first time leaving her for so many days not with family. Christina was great about sending updates and took wonderful care of Gobi. Will absolutely book with her again!!”


“Ashely was amazing! Duncan had a great time, and Ashley was excellent at communicating throughout the stay. She has a ton of experience boarding dogs, so pretty much any situation or issue specific to our dog's care, she was able to handle no problem. Would definitely recommend and will use her again for future boarding stays for our dog!”

“Brian took great care of my dog and asked thoughtful questions to ensure my dog’s first stay with him would go well. He provided a picture daily and my dog was happy when I picked her up.”

“Amazing sitter! Our puppy had a great time and was calm, tired and happy when we picked him up. Thank you for all the pictures and for being so flexible. Definitely coming back!”

“First timer to book through Rover and it was a smashing success! Juliet seemed well cared for and entertained while her family left her for a long weekend. I would definitely book with John again. I think that Juliet got to hang with another dog put her at ease in a new home. And loved that we received periodic photos of her enjoying her vacation. Thank you!”

“Lesslie was great! She sent me photo updates and was very understanding when Rufus chewed up one of her mats. I’d recommend her and will be requesting her if she’s available on future needs!”

“Nate was so accommodating and friendly throughout the entire process. He obviously took great care of my pup. I would absolutely use Nate again and recommend him to anyone!”

“Hope was so thorough, communicative, and lovely to work with. I've become a more anxious pet parent as our cats have gotten older and she immediately made me feel at ease. She cared for them as if they were her own, sent great pictures, and I will absolutely be reaching back out to her when we need pet care again! Thank you so much, Hope!”


“Justice took great care of my cat Opal. She was quick to learn her medication injection routine and made both Opal and I feel comfortable while I was away. She was very responsive and made sure to send me updates with every drop-in visit!”


“Megan did a great job looking after my cat. She followed all of my instructions and my cat was happy when I returned. I will rebook with Megan in the future!”

“Adriana sent daily updates about my cat. She followed the feeding instructions exactly. The litter was scooped daily. My cat seemed happy when I returned. Thank you Adriana!”

“Caline has been great checking in on my cat! She is super communicative and thoughtful! I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for help with a pet”


“Sarah did a fantastic job taking care of my cat Orion over the weekend, who is a picky eater and has a slightly complicated food preparation and schedule. Would highly recommend her to anyone!”


“Elizabeth was wonderful with Thomas. She was on time, and followed his feeding instructions. She was responsive and made Thomas feel less lonely. I’ll definitely hire her again—highly recommend.”

“I always feel so comforted leaving our cats in Sol's care. Sol is so thoughtful and thorough, and is so good at communicating the little details that let us know our cats are in good hands!”

“Roy is the best! I'm so glad I found him and will definitely book again. My cat is a sweet scaredy cat -- loves pets but is super skittish and timid. Usually when someone checks on her while I'm gone, they never even see her. Roy has some kind of amazing gentle cat man magic because she came out and plopped on his lap for pets the very first day! He got her hunting with the bird toy, gave her treats, and lots of pets and brushing. If you have a cat or dog who needs a little extra patience or TLC, look no further. Roy really takes the time to understand your pet and will meet them where they are. I can tell because usually when I return from travel my cat hangs back for a few days, but this time she ran out to greet me and play because Roy had been taking such good care of her -- she must have felt safe and secure while I was gone. He also took careful notes on her weird quirks and even brought in my mail. I'm honestly looking forward to my next trip knowing that my cat will be in great hands (and I'll get super cute updates while I'm gone). Book Roy!”

“Gwendolyn took very good care of my “girls,” Shenanigan and Isabelle. They are shy cats but they took to her immediately. She has cared for them twice and I consider her my regular cat sitter.”


“Jean was fantastic, always on time, great communication, I was kept up to date on what my furry baby was doing. Your pet will be well taken care of with Jean :)”

“I had not had anyone watch my puppy before and was anxious about how she’d do with it (especially as she can be quite shy sometimes). I’m happy to say that I don’t think it could not have gone better! Ruben sent pictures and updates throughout the day, and it was great to see that she was getting more and more comfortable with him and the other dogs. I look forward to booking her with Ruben again!”


“Diamond is an amazing sitter! She truly cares for the dogs she looks after and keeps you at ease with regular updates. My Leo came back home so tired and happy-which says everything, and he honestly didn’t even want to leave her place! Her dogs are wonderful as well and got along perfectly with mine, which made the whole experience even better. Diamond is reliable, punctual, and clearly passionate about what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.”

“Super responsive and flexible as I booked a day care for my cat during my moving day. They even dropped my cat off after which was so helpful after a long day! Their dogs and kids were super playful with Josie who was a little nervous at first. Definitely would book again!”

“Elliott is amazing! My 7 month old puppy was a nervous/anxious mess around new situations and I’ve been so worried to bring him to just any daycare. I found Elliott and my dog Jax warmed up quickly, and ended up playing with all the other dogs in daycare! He came home and was walking around the block SO confident after just one day at daycare. The pic/video updates are also wonderful. So grateful I found Elliott, will definitely be using him from now on.”

“Archie had the best time with Maria and her pup! They went to the park and he came home feeling so happy relaxed! 11/10 would recommend any pet parent to book!! Thank you!! 😊”

“A loving home away from home for our dog! we really appreciate how understanding Sara and Jose are of our anxious old girl 😅 They're very kind and flexible, and we can tell they take great care of her. Thanks Sara and Jose!!”

“Dayana was a great dogsitter to our puppy Honey. She sent pictures and videos throughout the day of Honey having fun and being taken on walks, and she was very nice and communicative. I will definitely be reaching back out for more dog sitting with Dayana!”

“Yasmine was wonderful with my very energetic dog. Her own dog is well-behaved and serves as a great role model for other dogs. When my dog came home, he was happy, tired, and completely content, a clear sign that he had a fantastic time. She lives close to a large dog park where dogs can run, play, and burn off their energy while having the time of their lives. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with Yasmine and plan to do so regularly. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter and excellent company for their dog.”

“Lee was responsive and sent many pics and videos. Her place is perfectly set up for dogs and her two pups were perfect new friends for our anxious little one. We will definitely be booking again!”

“John provided such a great daycare for our dog Moose. Moose got to play with John’s adorable dog, go on walks and get out his energy and we got to enjoy pics from John! He was also super communicative and accommodated our rather challenging drop off schedule (it was early!) John will absolutely be my first call the next time we need daycare!”

“Peter and his wife were wonderful! They were communicative and sent some cute pics of our little guy, which we really appreciated. This was Kumo’s first Rover stay, and they made the whole experience feel easy and reassuring—they clearly know what they’re doing. Kumo came home happy and tired, and we loved hearing that he had such a great time playing with their dog, Khalil. We’ll absolutely be booking with them again!”

“Dash has stayed with Stephanie several times--she's so amazing! It's always hard when I have to leave Dash, even just for the day, but I know he's in good hands with Stephanie and is well taken care of. I can't thank her enough for all her help 🐕💕”

Winston was just adopted on Christmas Eve and he's a little over a year old. He isn't fully housebroken due to being found as a stray.

About: I had 2 Labradors for about 3 years, a Dachshund for 4 (when i was younger) and lived in Chicago then i moved to California in 2015. The places i stayed out here prohibited animals evidently, so i would find alot of joy in taking care of my close friends dogs and neibors . i would often go over to play with her and take her walks just for the utter joy of it. i am a very caring, compassionate animal lover of all kinds and would enjoy to do what i love most :)I have experience with animals and my own pets for over 10 years. My family and i raised dogs and cats in our homes since I could remember. I was always the one stealing my mother's tuna to give to the Stray Cats finding litters of kittens in the backyard rescuing injured birds, ever since I was a child I had a curiosity for animals. I enjoy the company of my animals and maintain my responsibility of taking care of my pets every single day. I have dealt with many different breeds of dogs and cat to understand them on a personal level and their nature and behavior. I truly love my animals I feel that I naturally connect with dogs and cats totally. Currently my small pet family consists of a 6 month old black and white tabby cat and a 3 year old small white terrier listen to get along with very well. I give my pets regular exercise and walks.

About: Originally from a small town in Texas I was raised on ranch surrounded by animals and I’ve loved every minute of it. Once I moved away I still wanted to keep animals in my life. I have experience fostering animals and caring for senior pets. I have open availability, so whatever time you need works for me. Whether you need someone to walk your dog while you are at work or someone to watch them overnight, I can help. I have grown up around dogs and spending time with them is one of the most enjoyable things I think a person can do. I am experienced with crate training, training basic commands, and teaching your dog to walk on a leash. If your dog doesn’t need any of that, that is fine too. Whether you just need a quick walk or want me to spend a couple hours with your dog, I will make sure it is the best part of their day!
About: From a young age, I've had a special bond with dogs. My parents took in neighborhood samoyeds and newfoundlands that had been abandoned by their owners. I grew up with them, trained them, did my best to make sure their home was loving. Since my neighbors knew I was good with large dogs, I frequently dog sat for them. I quickly became an expert in leash technique, engaging play, making sure they were fed right, and just plain being there for them. I don't have any dogs right now (my apartment is way too small) but I know I'll meet that special fluffy guy when I get a bigger place. I'm available nearly all the time, as I'm not currently working and am only doing occasional volunteering in the Bitter Lake/Greenwood/Shoreline area. I have the availability of a tireless assistant! I believe in respecting a dog's boundries while also being very mindful of their needs. From years of experience I've learned to find the proper balance and give the dog the best experience possible.

This means I have lots of unused patience I typically spend on my little ones to use on taking care of your beloved pets and household, as well as lots of time on my hands to attend to your needs! I care for any pet like they are my pet. As a pet owner myself, it is so hard being away and worrying how they’re doing. When I leave them in others’ care, I would hope they care for my pet like they are their own. I take this philosophy into the homes and lives of others. With extensive practice in child care, pet care and medicine management, and house sitting, I will come to your aid with a lens of empathy and compassion.

“Angel was responsive and super flexible to work with. We had a last minute schedule change and he was really accommodating. Our dog came back super happy!”

“Ruben is a first-class boarder, and I couldn't be happier with Luna's stay with him. He was always amazingly quick to reply to every message and kept me updated with pictures. Luna and I both look forward to the next time!”

“Roman was Charise’s first ever Rover dog and we were really happy to have connected with her for our 5-day trip. Charise was a great sitter—she sent detailed updates about how Roman was doing with Navi and hope he was settling in while we were away. Her home is very clean and Charise is a very warm and welcoming host. Navi is just the cutest little nugget ever, and I could tell immediately Roman would feel right at home with Charise. Our big GSD is a big baby and throws a bit of a fit every time we leave, but Charise and Navi were patient with him while he warmed up to the idea of us being away—by the time we returned, he was fully integrated into their little family. Roman is allowed on the couch and bed for cuddles, and Charise has a full basement for the dogs to run around and play, a small yard, and she takes them together on long walks. Roman came home fully pooped from a week of playing with Navi and we’ll definitely be using Charise in the future!”


“I am very grateful. Akon spent 7 days with Michael and returned very happy and well cared for. He kept me updated every day by sending me photos and videos. Thank you for taking such good care of him.”

“Amazing sitter for our dog! This was our first time leaving her for so many days not with family. Christina was great about sending updates and took wonderful care of Gobi. Will absolutely book with her again!!”


“Ashely was amazing! Duncan had a great time, and Ashley was excellent at communicating throughout the stay. She has a ton of experience boarding dogs, so pretty much any situation or issue specific to our dog's care, she was able to handle no problem. Would definitely recommend and will use her again for future boarding stays for our dog!”

“Amazing sitter! Our puppy had a great time and was calm, tired and happy when we picked him up. Thank you for all the pictures and for being so flexible. Definitely coming back!”

“First timer to book through Rover and it was a smashing success! Juliet seemed well cared for and entertained while her family left her for a long weekend. I would definitely book with John again. I think that Juliet got to hang with another dog put her at ease in a new home. And loved that we received periodic photos of her enjoying her vacation. Thank you!”

“Lesslie was great! She sent me photo updates and was very understanding when Rufus chewed up one of her mats. I’d recommend her and will be requesting her if she’s available on future needs!”

“Nate was so accommodating and friendly throughout the entire process. He obviously took great care of my pup. I would absolutely use Nate again and recommend him to anyone!”

“Christine was absolutely amazing. She took great care of our pup, and we were able to fully enjoy our weekend away knowing Charlie was in good hands!”


“Fortino was amazing! My dog is pretty high energy and I could tell he was having a great time. Fortino sent regular updates and he took my dog on lots of fun excursions with his own dog. He was very communicative and I could tell he paid close attention to details of my dog’s comfort, personality, etc. He even gave my dog a sweater that previously belonged to his dog but was too small, which was very sweet. Will definitely board with him again.”

“Katie is an excellent sitter! I highly recommend booking her. I appreciate how flexible she is about logistics. First, I accidentally sent Katie to the wrong address to pick up my dog. She was patient and understanding about the mistake. Then, last minute I had to extend the booking one additional day due to travel delays, which Katie accepted without issue. Katie also communicates well. She responds quickly, and sends regular updates about your pet. We will definitely book Katie again!”

“We were so thankful to find Nina over the holidays after several other options were fully booked. Our dogs warmed up to Nina and her boyfriend immediately and felt right at home. Nina was awesome in keeping me updated daily and making me aware of any odd behaviors. She was extremely responsive, considerate, and amazing to work with. We even ended up extending their stay midway through given such a good experience. Can't wait to book with Nina again!”

“Ania did a great job taking care of Dalí. He is very shy and needs time adjusting to new people. She was very gentle with him, and even took him on a couple of walks leading up to our reservation to make sure he was comfortable with her. Ania was responsive, accommodated Dalí’s needs, and sent pictures/video updates. I have already booked another boarding reservation with her.”

“Adam and Keit came in clutch when our originally scheduled sitter no-showed last minute. They were gracious and understanding, and took great care of our dog.”


“Our energetic Goldendoodle, Gus, has stayed with Iwona many, many times now and I cannot recommend her enough! Gus will pull me to her door and doesn't look back when I drop him off. Iwona's is his home-away-from-home, we are so lucky to have found her! As always, A+ communication, super easy to work with, and THE best sitter!”
