“April ‘s facility was very clean and secure. She sent us updated pictures and videos which we appreciated, and enlightened us on some dog training tips. Thank you for taking good care of our Kodiak.”
“Sheri is a great sitter! She watched our energetic young Lab while we were on our honeymoon. She sent us photos of our dog every day, which we loved. She kept our pup busy, walking her often and playing fetch in the backyard. We arranged a meet-and-greet with her beforehand, so our dog could meet her dog, and that helped put our minds at ease. Sheri asked many questions during the meet-and-greet, and we could tell that she cared a lot. We recommend Sheri highly, and we would definitely use her as a sitter again.”
“Great communication and worked around me messing up with the app with ease! Ransford is not necessarily the easiest dog and I got nothing but glowing reports because of how much fun he was having! She did well with his meds and I trusted his safety in the house and with the other family members, furry and human. She will be my first call next time I need a sitter!”
“A wonderful pet sitter! Very communicative and warm. She was able to accommodate our last minute request, sent us updates and photos of our doggy while we were away, which was very reassuring, and she was flexible and understanding when our ferry delayed our pickup time by almost an hour. We would recommend her and be happy to have her care for our pup again in the future.”
“Samatha was so wonderful with my doggie Sent us pictures and I could tell he was in excellent hands. Made me feel at ease with leaving him with her. It’s been years since I have left my dog with anyone.”
“My dogs mean everything to me and it can be difficult to find a dog sitter who understands the assignment. Allison understood the assignment. My girls are 10 years apart in age are different in temperament and personality. To me, it doesn’t take a lot to care for them but I never know if that is different in the eyes of the sitter. Allison welcomed them both into her home and cared for them just as I would. She provided updates and photos throughout the stay. She was also flexible in drop off time as I had a brain fart when initially booking the stay. I will definitely choose Allison again for future stays!”
“Kris was a great pet sitter! Our pups Summit and Lilo loved their stay so much!! They were very responsive and we got picture updates everyday. They made our trip to Mexico a breeze! We would recommend them 1000%!”
“Kim and her husband were amazing! They are such sweet and kind people who took such great care of my pup I was able to do a meet and greet and she stayed in constant communication along with sending pics. Unfortunately I'm moving out of the state but if I ever come back to visit, Kim will be my first choice every time.”
“Annie’s stay with Britt was perfect. I am so happy I have found someone to leave her with and know she is well cared for. Britt treated her like she was her own dog. Annie has separation anxiety. Britt was able to get her past that and she had fun with a couple of other dogs and a cat ? I have found the best place to leave “my little Annie” ???”
“Alexa took very good care of our dear pet Trigg! For more than a month long! We were sent pictures and videos frequently and Alexa was always super responsive whenever reached out to. I strongly recommend her for sitting/boarding!”
“Gracie and I knew almost immediately that Marshel would be the right place for Gracie to stay while I went on vacation. I this was our first time with Rover. Marshel sent photos daily and eased my anxiety about being away from my girl. I highly recommend Marshel.”
“Definitely recommend Teri and her home! Great communication, sent multiple pictures and updates per day. I truly felt my old pups, who I worry about often, were in GOOD loving hands. They ? were clean and well kept along with beds/blankets and looking so good after a long stay. Also fenced large yard was very nice! Will definitely use for future needs!”
“This was our first time to leave Datu at a private residence for care. He was thrilled but he also was not used to being away from us and yet despite his anxiety, Sheri and Bill were most kind and patient with Datu - We attended a funeral that was out of state and our minds were at ease that though Datu was a bit anxious that he was well loved and cared for as we saw many videos of him throughout his stay with them that reflected he was doing well. Beyond blessed and thankful for this couple -”
“Ashley and her family provided excellent care for our golden retriever Conner. Received photos daily of him playing and looking so happy!! We felt reassured that he was very comfortable and enjoying his new environment while we were on vacation.”
“Hayley was such a life saver. She took the best care of my 2 pups when we had to fly out and kept us updated :). She was also so flexible with the timing :) definitely recommend!”
“Morgan took our baby on a wonderful hike and out birdwatching. Nina is always so calm and relaxed whenever we pick her up, thank you so much for taking care of our baby!”
“First time using Rover and we lucked out with this last minute booking! Lana and her family are amazing. We were concerned about our Seabass being too anxious at night, but they made him feel very comfortable in their home. Their dog Amy is also very friendly. Seabass got to run around and play with Amy and her kids in their big backyard. He got to see their chickens and enjoyed a bonfire on his first night with them. I appreciate all the updates Lana sent us while we were away. We would definitely have our dog stay at their place again!”
“Aarika was absolutely amazing!! She was flexible and communicative through our entire last-minute planning process. She sent daily progress updates and photos of our sweet boy smiling and having so much fun (and getting lots of pats, which he loves!!) We will absolutely be booking with Aarika again! :)”
“Kathy and her family love and care for Major Tom like he's their own. We're so glad to have found a sitter that our anxious little monster is comfortable with and we can relax knowing he's happy and well cared for.”

“Emily watched over my 4 month old pup, who can have a lot of energy at times. She was very communicative and professional. She was very accommodating to my dog’s needs and he was well taken care of. I’d highly recommend Emily to watch your pup :).”
“This was Dasha’s second time she watched our cat. She was well cared for with detailed updates and several photos every day.

“Kiley was great for out drop in visits with our cat while we were away. She was easy to communicate with, and made sure that she gave our cat lots of attention while she was there.”
“Naomi was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond with every visit. She took the time to get to know both of our cats and their personalities and habits. It was such a relief to have someone so trusting and big hearted to take care of our babies while we were gone. I would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter. Hands down the best sitter we could have ever asked for!”
“Michael did an excellent job looking after our cats. He made sure to get a picture of at least one of them every visit. There was some issues with his schedule that came up and he did his best to communicate with us even though there was an 8 hour time difference between us. We appreciate everything that Michael did for us during such a long vacation.”
“Highly recommend!!!! We had taken our cat Jake to the Canine Country Club and Cattery and they only fed him 1 can of food a day when we'd told them he ate twice and provided all the food. We had another trip coming up and there was no way I'd ever use them again. The we found Carolann on Rover. What a Godsend! Jake had his own room, his own queen size bed, a window with a windowsill to look out and plenty of things to climb on and explore. Carolann even had some new toys for him to play with. We got daily photos of him playing and eating and it made our trip so much more restful to know he was well taken care of! Thank you Carolann, you are forever going to be Jake's home away from home!”

About: Being a professional dog trainer, I have experience handling dogs of all temperments. My training background also helps me understand cat behavior and body language. I also have experience with a variety of reptiles, fish, and amphibians. I provide safe, structured care tailored to your pet's needs, helping reinforce good habits and reduce stress while you are away. I am available Monday through Friday to do 1 to 3 drop-ins a day. Each drop-in will be 30-minutes long to ensure your pet's needs are met. During a 30-minute drop-in visit, I'll provide fresh water, food (if needed), a potty break or short walk, playtime, and basic enrichment to keep your dog happy and stimulated. I'll also check for any signs of stress or discomfort and send you a quick update with photos. Every visit is tailored to your pet's routine and needs.
“Linda popped in to let my pups out for a mid-day potty break. She arrived when she said she would, sent pics of the girls while they were out and locked up when she left. I’ll definitely reach out in the future when a need someone to check on the fur babies.”

About: I used to walk dogs for a shelter in California while I lived there for a year. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and would love to personally have one, I just unfortunately don’t have suitable living arrangements at the moment to give the proper life one would deserve. I work on call a lot so those days shouldn’t be an issue to swing by for a short visit. I have every Sunday off, and that’s when my schedule gets updated as well for the following week. I’m very big on integrity and a firm believer of treat others how you want to be treated/don’t do anything to anyone that you wouldn’t want done to yourself. Respect and Reputation means everything to me.

“Samantha and her family were great! Very welcoming and accommodating to my older dog quirks. The puppy really enjoyed playing with her friendly dog and it was a great socializing experience for him. I will definitely use her services again and recommend her without hesitation.”
“Our dog was happy when we dropped her off, showing that she had good memories from her past stay. She was relaxed, tired but happy when we picked her up, so had plenty of play time outside. She has separation anxiety and some insecurities, so it was great to see how comfortable she is there. Very happy with the daycare.”
About: Hello, I'm Amanda—a behavior specialist with a deep passion for working with children with autism. Alongside my professional role, I also run a business specializing in interior painting and light remodeling. With five wonderful kids—three young adults carving their paths, an animal-loving 18-year-old son, and a sweet, gentle 7-year-old daughter—family and community are at the heart of everything I do. Growing up surrounded by animals and spending summers on my grandparents' farm instilled a lifelong love for furry friends. That bond inspires my work today as I provide attentive, loving care for pets while their families are away. Whether it's supervising your beloved pup or ensuring all their needs are met, I take pride in being observant, detail-oriented, and dedicated to keeping them safe and happy at all times. In addition to being a great multitasker, I prioritize understanding the unique needs of every pet, bringing warmth and care into each interaction. I know leaving your cherished furbabies can be tough—that’s why my goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and them. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me! Feel free to message me with any questions or for more details. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and being part of their care. I am currently a caregiver for a family friend and so I am always home. I have full availability to step away anytime if your pup needs a walk or your pets need a drop in for food, exercise, or lovins. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 4 large fishtanks, and a handful of various reptiles (and growing). I have experience working at a wildlife rescue with all kinds of different animals.

“Happy with the doggy daycare with Monica! I appreciated that she sent me updates and photos. My dog is a nervous, scared rescue teen puppy. We weren’t sure if it would workout because my dog nips a bit at times and barks a lot at new people. He did bark at Monica at first but then it went well - her house seems organized, relaxing and great set up for a visiting dog! Monica is clearly good with dogs and reads them well. Thank you for the clear communication!”

About: I never had a moment in my life where I did not grow up with out having pets. I have taken care of some of my family pets as well and know how to feed, bathe, and walk animals. I just graduated Pitzer College with a Bachelor's Degree in Media and Africana Studies and returned back home to the Seattle, WA area long-term! If you are in need of a long/short term walker or someone to check-in on your pet while you are on vacation over the holidays, I am your gal! I have several reviews and recommendations and find a lot of joy in taking care of animals. I believe knowing the personality of the pet will help me determine how I need to show up for them. If they are more of a social animal I will spend a lot of quality time with them. If they like their own space then that's what they will receive from me. I am all about adjusting myself to make them the most comfortable and safe. I am open to discuss different forms of care you require. I have a natural calm spirit that usually immediately makes animals around me feel safe.

“Rachael is great with our 2 dogs. They can be a handful but Rachael has the patience and calmness to manage them. My golden chow mix who is usually apprehensive of new people warmed up to her right away. She was able to stop in and take the dogs out on short notice for me when I sprained my ankle. Very helpful. I would recommend!”

“Samatha was so wonderful with my doggie Sent us pictures and I could tell he was in excellent hands. Made me feel at ease with leaving him with her. It’s been years since I have left my dog with anyone.”
“My dogs mean everything to me and it can be difficult to find a dog sitter who understands the assignment. Allison understood the assignment. My girls are 10 years apart in age are different in temperament and personality. To me, it doesn’t take a lot to care for them but I never know if that is different in the eyes of the sitter. Allison welcomed them both into her home and cared for them just as I would. She provided updates and photos throughout the stay. She was also flexible in drop off time as I had a brain fart when initially booking the stay. I will definitely choose Allison again for future stays!”
“Kris was a great pet sitter! Our pups Summit and Lilo loved their stay so much!! They were very responsive and we got picture updates everyday. They made our trip to Mexico a breeze! We would recommend them 1000%!”
“Kim and her husband were amazing! They are such sweet and kind people who took such great care of my pup I was able to do a meet and greet and she stayed in constant communication along with sending pics. Unfortunately I'm moving out of the state but if I ever come back to visit, Kim will be my first choice every time.”
“Alexa took very good care of our dear pet Trigg! For more than a month long! We were sent pictures and videos frequently and Alexa was always super responsive whenever reached out to. I strongly recommend her for sitting/boarding!”
“Ashley and her family provided excellent care for our golden retriever Conner. Received photos daily of him playing and looking so happy!! We felt reassured that he was very comfortable and enjoying his new environment while we were on vacation.”
“Hayley was such a life saver. She took the best care of my 2 pups when we had to fly out and kept us updated :). She was also so flexible with the timing :) definitely recommend!”
“Morgan took our baby on a wonderful hike and out birdwatching. Nina is always so calm and relaxed whenever we pick her up, thank you so much for taking care of our baby!”
“First time using Rover and we lucked out with this last minute booking! Lana and her family are amazing. We were concerned about our Seabass being too anxious at night, but they made him feel very comfortable in their home. Their dog Amy is also very friendly. Seabass got to run around and play with Amy and her kids in their big backyard. He got to see their chickens and enjoyed a bonfire on his first night with them. I appreciate all the updates Lana sent us while we were away. We would definitely have our dog stay at their place again!”
“Aarika was absolutely amazing!! She was flexible and communicative through our entire last-minute planning process. She sent daily progress updates and photos of our sweet boy smiling and having so much fun (and getting lots of pats, which he loves!!) We will absolutely be booking with Aarika again! :)”
“Katie cared for out terrier-mix overnight. Her report was that he was looking for us for an hour post our leaving But then Kate's children started playing with Teddy and his mind switched to having fun. I like that there was a lot of human to dog interaction. Katie sent some photos of Teddy. She did a good job of caring for Teddy.”
“Monica is absolutely the best dog sitter I've used in over 20 years! This was my second time leaving my Great Dane, Loki, with her, and she continues to amaze me. Monica is so kind and tender-hearted, and it's clear how much she loves every animal in her care. She truly treated Loki like her own. My big guy is a senior dog with bad arthritis, and he'd had a rough time right before I left – he slipped and was very sore, struggling to stand and walk. I was worried, and Monica was understandably a little nervous at first, given Loki's size and condition. However, she immediately jumped into action, giving him the extra care and attention he needed to recover and settle in. When I returned a few days later, Loki was up and moving much better! I know Monica's loving care made all the difference. She's truly an amazing dog sitter. As a bonus, her home is spacious, clean, and welcoming, with plenty of room for even the most energetic dogs to play. I highly recommend Monica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“I exclusively use this sitter for my Blue Heeler Sasha. The open space and level of care provided are second to none, communication is seamless and we always have a great chat when dropping off or picking up. 5/5 will always use this Sitter.”
“We are so grateful Linda was available to take care of Calvin! We had a last-minute emergency, and we were nervous about using Rover, but after talking with Linda, she put us at ease. She was immediately responsive to our request. She was so friendly and helpful. She told us up front Calvin would be the VIP, and he was! She sent lots of pictures and videos, updates, took him on long walks, kept him entertained with plays and love and pets. She even showed him videos of border collies to entertain him. We know he had such a great time because he napped hard as soon as he got home! She was flexible and went above and beyond. We can't thank her enough for taking care of our dog kid. The only down side was we were afraid he wasn't going to want to come home because he had it so good at his new friend's house! Five huge stars!!”
“Alexis and her family are the best! We had an emergency and had to leave for 9 days. We had never left our 2.5 ye old 82lb labradoodle before and were filled with anxiety. As soon as we met Alexis we felt he would be in great place. She sent a lot of pictures and videos of him playing in the yard, in the house etc…, and communicated daily. Our dog came back happy and healthy! We are relieved to know that she is there if we ever”
“Kyla and Nicholas were incredible! They were flexible and easy going with drop-off and pick-up and they listened to all I had to share about our elderly pup. We could tell Ellie had been well taken care of and she seemed indifferent to leave, which speaks volumes! She’s usually rushing out the door to be home with us. Kyla and Nicholas really gave Ellie a home away from home!”
“Jenifer is amazing. Both my pups were happy to be back. Luna didn't bother to say goodbye to us. Lyla let us know they will be good and was ready for us to leave. ;) Thank you Jenifer for taking care of them and giving us peace of mind with videos.”
