“Brianna was fantastic with Dune. She kept me updated with frequent pictures and videos. He was playing, napping, and didn’t appear stressed or anxious at all. Overall, she did an excellent job! Thank you.”
“Kristina and her girls were the greatest Rovers we could have hoped for! We reached out to her super last minute after waking up sick and needing some help with our 15-week old puppy and she agreed to take her in the same morning. They have a beautiful property and their own friendly dogs that Mabel had a great time playing with- she’s never been more exhausted! Kristina was super communicative and kept us updated with plenty of pics and videos. They also sent us home with a sample of their awesome healthy homemade dog treats that were a hit with both our dogs! They’ve definitely got a repeat customer out of us and we can’t wait to drop Mabel off with them again soon!”
“Peter took lots of pics and gave me lots of updates on how my dog was doing. It looks like she got lots of love and was happy in every pic. Plus he has super sweet dogs for your dog to play with. I would use Peter and his family as dog sitters again.”
“Jennifer went above and beyond to ensure our families fur babies felt loved and comfortable! We received wonderful updates during their time with Jennifer that made my heart and mind feel at ease. I will use Jennifer for any future boarding needs!”
“Celia has kept my dog Penny twice now and had been great both times. She's easy to communicate with and I can tell the amount of love that Penny receives from her and her family and her cute dog Milo. I highly recommend her!”
“We were so happy that Atlas had a great time! Cara kept us updated with pictures and videos. She asked questions if she felt she needed to and Atlas had so much fun he's just slept since he got home (for an Irish Setter, this is a big deal! They're always going! ). We will 100% be working with Cara again, and Atlas cannot wait to go play with both of the Junipers again.”
“This was my first time using Rover, or any pet sitting service, and I couldn’t have been more content with how easy the process was to book the service. Our sitter, Lorelei, was beyond amazing with our fur baby. She consistently keep us updated with pictures and daily details of their day. It made me feel at ease about traveling without our fur baby. I completely recommend Lorelei and will be booking with her again in the future.”
“Casie is amazing! She was so sweet and took great care of my girl! She sent daily updates and pictures, her dog cognac was such a nice boy and played with my girl so good. I will be only using Casie from now on!”
“David was fantastic and cared for our dog like his own! He kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. He and his family were incredibly patient and welcoming -our typically shy and anxious pup felt comfortable in no time. Their backyard is amazing, with tons of space for the dogs to run and play together. Highly recommend!”
“Cathleen was so sweet and my dogs loved her yard and all the outside time. She sent pictures and was great at getting back to me quickly whenever I messaged her. She keeps the big and little dogs separated, which is nice for my shy dog. I would definitely use her again!”
“Matt did a great job taking care of Scout. He gave photo updates throughout Scout’s stay. Super easy drop off and pick up. Matt is also super thorough. During drop off, he took careful notes of additional dog sitting instructions. During pick up, he went through a checklist to make sure no belongings was left behind.”
“Mike was a true gift during a very emotional and busy time. With family in town for my father’s funeral, I needed a peaceful place for my dog Bo to stay for a few days. Mike and Shari welcomed him into their beautiful, woodsy home—with picture windows that Bo immediately wanted to look out, and a calm, comforting vibe. When I picked him up at the end of his stay Bo was a relaxed and happy dog! Thanks guys!”
“Dottie gets so excited to go to Charis'. Picking her up, she feels comfortable and happy in Charis' home and always comes home exhausted from playing. We feel so lucky to have found her!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who friends and family regularly trust to care for their pets while they travel. I have two friendly golden retrievers who truly love other dogs and are gentle, playful, and well-socialized. I’m experienced with a wide range of personalities—from high-energy pups who need lots of playtime to senior dogs who prefer a calm, cozy environment. I treat every dog as if they were my own, paying close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and individual quirks. Your dog will enjoy plenty of love, supervised play, and a safe, comfortable home where they’re never just “watched,” but genuinely cared for. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and a calm, structured environment. I’m available for both short-notice needs and bookings well in advance as you plan your travels. My goal is to be your go-to sitter whenever you need reliable, loving care. I have a large fully fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized golden retrievers who enjoy playing in the backyard by a game of chase and/or fetch. I closely monitor playtime and all interactions, follow each dog’s routine, and can crate, separate, or provide quiet space if needed in order to keep all dogs in my care stress/free, comfortable and happy. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities. This isn’t just a place where you drop your dog for the day or for a trip. It’s a calm, loving environment where dogs feel safe and loved while you’re away. I choose thoughtful exercise and enrichment to keep them happy and give them plenty of opportunities to burn energy and excitement.
“Zoey just finished a 10 day stay with Tanya and Mango and she had a blast! Her and Mango get along so great and now Zoey is depressed at home and missing her friend. Tanya sent photos, was responsive, and so accommodating when I wanted to extend my stay. Highly recommend!”

“Great at communicating and taking photos of my cats! One of my cats is a bit shy and she even managed to get her to hangout. Highly recommend Katie and definitely would book with her again.”
“They had incredible service, great communication, and were incredibly kind. Thank you guys so much for your time with our boys! It means everything to us, and we will definitely utilize your services again if need be. Thank you again!”
“Anna’s help in caring for my cat was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’d never hired a pet sitter before, but she’ll be my go-to from now on. My cat is extremely social and I was concerned he’d be lonely while I was away for several weeks. Anna spent lots of time giving him attention and play. My cat also compulsively scratches himself, and with me gone he kicked it up a notch and tore through the skin. Anna had no problem giving him his pills and cleaning the wound. Additionally, she fed and kept an eye on our fish. She is an absolute saint: professional, communicative, and a lovely human to boot. Hire her!”
“I felt confident that Mya was taking good care of my cat while I was out of town. I know she tried very hard to follow my directions for my senior kitty with rather complicated dietary needs, and Tootise seemed to warm up quickly to Mya.”
“I’m so thankful to have found such good folks to look in on my little one. David and Lisa were professional, reliable and kept me updated daily with great photos. I highly reccomend them!”
“Lisa was absolutely the best cat sitter we’ve ever had. One of our kitties has a lot of health issues and was acting odd while we were gone and Lisa wound up staying the night to help her feel comfortable and eat. She was incredibly communicative and sent detailed updates with every visit. If you are looking for someone to watch your pets, she is who I recommend. We’d give 10 stars if we could.”
About: Our family has had several cats growing up over the years. Through the process of growing older I've learned that each cat has its own unique and wonderful personality to share with it's love ones. I am a passionate individual and believe that our pets deserve all the love and care we can provide since they do the same for us. I can confidently say that your cat will be in safe loving hands if you're looking for someone to provide care while you're away. I'd love to hear more about your cat/s! Message me anytime for a chat.
“Valerie genuinely cares about the pets they watch over. Valerie sends detailed report cards and sweet images of our furry pal that provide reassurance when we’re away. Highly recommended:)”
“Julie has taken care of my kitty two times so far and is absolutely amazing! She goes above and beyond in every way, providing thorough and detailed report cards after each visit, complete with adorable photos of my furry gal. Julie is incredibly attentive to my cat's needs and moods and treats her as if she were her own, going the extra mile to ensure I felt completely at ease, especially since I tend to get anxious leaving my kitty. Thanks to Julie's exceptional care, I knew my kitty was happy, loved, and content. I can't recommend Julie enough to anyone seeking top-notch care! Thank you, Julie!!”
“Bailey was extremely attentive and sweet to our cat. She gave her undivided attention with pets and playing, would definitely use her services again! Thank you Bailey!!”
“Amy did such a thorough job looking after our two cats and house which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away! She always included details and lots of photos every visit.”
About: The first time I cared for cats was when a family friend went out of town when I was seven. I fell in love, and getting to spend time caring for cats while doing homework became my favorite gig as a teenager. I've had my own cat for close to four years, now. We originally adopted two rescues, but sadly our Pip-Boy had a terrible injury when he was found and it continued to cause him recurring problems until we finally made the impossible decision to put him down just one month before our first child was born in 2024. (I like to say he had to go when he did so he could give her last minute instructions for life.) In the last six months of his life we had medicine to administer that we got VERY good at giving him despite his vetrile hatred of said medicine. I'm comfortable giving medicine orally, including medicine that needs to stay in the cats mouth, and finding creative ways to hide it in food and water. I am also open to learning how to give injected medicine if you're willing to teach me. I love both playing with cats who enjoy that kind of human interaction and pretending not to pay any attention to those who prefer to exist in an alternate dimension. 😁
“Jordan was amazing!! She sent daily updates with plenty of pictures and followed all the instructions we left. We will definitely book with her in the future & I highly recommend her!”
“Mary checked on our two cats while we were out of town. She did great! We appreciated all her updates and pictures. We will definitely reach out to her again for future pet sitting needs!”
“Jennifer was amazing. Quick to respond, flexible in timing, clear communication, friendly, not bothered by my anxious requests, got along with my cats and sent me regular updates. I felt safe and secure with her taking care of my animals and would book again”
“This was our first time using this service, and we want to sincerely thank Kimberly for taking such great care of our cats. She did an excellent job! Kimberly was great at communicating, and we even had the chance to meet her before the service began, which gave us peace of mind. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with her care and professionalism. Highly recommended!”
“My cat Pusheen had the best care from Jessica. It was my first time boarding!!! I highly recommend her services! Traveling solo can be stressful but as far as my sweet kitty being in the best of hands? No worries! Will Definitely be using her sevices again! Thank you!”
“Very thankful for the great care from Steven and Rachel! My puppy needed some extra attention after a recent surgery and they were so patient, accommodating and caring to my pup. Good communication and were flexible to my pups needs. Will book again!”
“Absolutely amazing! My cat is an elder cat and has never been anywhere without me before. So I was nervous sending her away for a bit. But she did so well and I constantly got update pictures which I really appreciated. I highly suggest booking them for pet care needs if you need to go away on a trip”

“Thanks to Cara we had a wonderful first-time experience on Rover. Yoshi did his first Rover doggy day care and he had a blast. Cara took great care of him and her little girls took to Yoshi. He came home and promptly passed out. Expecting a lot more play dates in the near future. It's awesome to find another Corgi Mom. Thank you, Cara, for welcoming Yoshi into your home. We loved the photos you sent to us throughout the day and hope to add more memories.”
“Cathleen was so friendly and helpful- taking care of our pups with just a few day's notice when we wanted to visit the island. She made Vivi and Bijou feel comfortable and at home- as evidenced by the photos of them relaxing and snoozing without a care. We were so glad to find her and wouldn't hesitate to have our pups stay with her again.”
“Brianna was great, ready for our arrival and Mila took to her just fine. I put a lot of stock into how my Pup greets someone, and it was very comfortable. I appreciate that the house was close to where I needed to be and the calendar was open. Thank you for taking care of my girl”
“Drake loved it here. Kristina was able to make this a pleasant experience. My dog has been attacked by bigger dogs before and while hesitant at first, her knowledge about properly handling aggressive dogs put me at ease.”
“It was my first time trying out a sitter for Wee and I was very nervous, but Steven and Rachel completely alleviated that worry with frequent updates, photos and genuine care for my pup. When I next need a sitter, Wee will definitely be staying with them. Thank you Steven and Rachel! :)”
“Valerie was wonderful with Winnie and we were comfortable leaving her there knowing she was in good hands. It was Winnie’s first time away from home at 13 weeks and we were so glad she did well. Valerie was fantastic!”
“Zara had a wonderful first time visit with Stacey and River & Birdie. Stacey made her feel comfortable around the bigger dogs and she loved the one-on-one attention from Stacey. My pup was happy and tired when I picked her up. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Khayl was amazing with my brand new puppy. She kept me up to date and sent videos during his visit. I would tell from the videos how well cared for he was and I will most certainly use her services again. A+++, you will be so happy with the care that she provides! Thank you again Khayl 💓”
About: I have had pets my entire life dogs, cats, rabbits and horses. I am comfortable around every type of dog, however prefer to sit smaller dogs up to 25lbs. I have a mini dachshund who is 16 years old, who misses having friends around. I am familiar with puppies through seniors. I do work from home 4 days a week. Currently I have an unfenced yard, I use retractable leashes to maintain safety when outside. Your fur-baby will get daily walks and plenty of love. I work from home 4 days a week, giving me the opportunity to give your pet plenty of attention in an adults only home with one dog for companion time. We do daily walks around the neighborhood, in a wooded area or at Manchester state park. I don’t currently have a fenced yard, outdoor time will be on retractable leashes for potty breaks, time on the fenced deck, and daily walks using your pets regular leash. Should pets need to be left home unattended I will ensure everyone is in safe, separate locations close enough companionship but not mischief. Safety and well cared for is my goal.
“Booked a few days prior to sitting, Robin was quick to respond. During the sitting, I was provided photos and updates throughout the day which I really appreciated. THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“Amazing sitter. Could not have asked for a more professional and dedicated person who genuinely cares for dogs and went above and beyond what we have seen in sitter. Highly recommend as a sitter and will keep her in mind for next time.”

About: We both grew up with dogs and have fostered 4 times. We currently own a 3 year old rescue pup. We’ve cared for the smallest of dog breeds (Havanese and Boston Terrier) to the largest of breeds (Labs/retrievers, German shepherds, Belgian malinois, pit bulls, etc) so we’re comfortable with all dogs! I work from home, so I’m available all day every day to play and take care of your pups! We’re open to boarding every day of the week. We do have a 3 year old Lab/Border Collie mix, so your dog must be good with other dogs. I will treat your dogs just like my own! We do live in an apartment, but I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks and playtime. I have a friendly dog that would love to keep your pup company :) I’m also comfortable crating dogs if that’s something you need!
“Karl was a great host for our 6 month old puppy who needed lots of interaction with people. He worked with our schedule and made sure Albie felt at home from the moment he was dropped off to pick up. The whole family interacted with Albie, giving a balanced amount of play vs rest so I picked up a happy calm puppy.”
“This was Mortimer's 1st day care visit to Hongyee & Bear, & things went great!..Hongyee familiarized Mort to her property bfr introducing him to the other dogs...when it was time to pick him up, she was waiting for me with him ready to go & informed me of how his day went - she even sent me a pic earlier of him lying down resting.”
“Andrea and Bryce have been the kindest and most accommodating sitters. Their dog has been very sweet and friendly with my puppy and they were fast friends in no time! They took lots of photos and sent updates throughout the day which really eased my mind and confirmed my pup was in the best of hands. I’m new to the area, and even when they weren’t able to sit for my pup due to schedule conflicts, they recommended another trusted sitter and went above and beyond in helping me out. I feel so fortunate to have found a safe and loving family to take care of my puppy, and I can’t rec them enough!”
“Storm loves coming here when we're in town and I'm pretty sure zi and her pup feel the same way about storm. Always huge smiles and quick tail wags when they see each other. Always contact her first when in the area, highly recommend.”

About: I’ve taken care of multiple kinds of dogs and cats for family and friends ever since I was a little kid, and owned both kitties and doggies of different breeds most of my life. I’ve read a few training books for doggies, stayed multiple nights for pet sitting, volunteered at pet shops, worked at pet stores, handled kittens and puppies with care, worked with senior cats and dogs, as well as other barn animals as well! I am currently working a part time job in silverdale, usually around 10-15 hours a week. I always receive my schedule at least a week in advance, so I just need time to plan around that. Otherwise, I’m a fairly open schedule! I have experience with crating dogs and giving them daily medicines if needed, or any unique care. If there is ever at all an emergency situation, I will call you immediately while also taking your dog to the vet.
“Valarie did a great job walking our two dogs. When we had short notice that we needed coverage for our dogs while heading out of town, Valarie was quick to respond and set up a meet & greet. She agreed to take care of our girls and came as requested. She was communicative during each walk and sent great pictures. We hope she'll agree to more walks in the future!”
About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience! I grew up with multiple dogs and have spent years walking and caring for pets, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with different routines, energy levels, and personalities—and I always make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. Mondays–Wednesdays are my off days and my most flexible time. I work Thursday–Sunday afternoons starting around 2, and my mornings are usually reserved for staying active—walks, workouts, or anything that gets me moving. I don’t have pets currently, but I’ve grown up caring for family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with most breeds, prioritizing calm, safe, attentive care.
About: We have taken care of dogs of all breeds. We will play with them, take them for walks, clean up after them, give them medication when needed. We will get them their meals on time everytime. We are currently retired, so we have plenty of time to spend caring for your pets. We love animals and would love to help you take care of yours. Your pet is one of your family members, just as my pets are my members of my family. Their safety and well being are of the upmost importance.
About: I’m new to Rover! I love animals! Theres a dulplicated review glitch on my profile so if anyone can give me a chance to care for your little ones I’d be grateful. I grew up surrounded by family pets. Whenever my parents went out for vacations I would stay at their house to spend time and care for their pets. From walks to feeding and quality time snuggles; I've been blessed to care for and love the beautiful creatures we've been graced to be in companionship with. I don't have any special training, but I love animals and will treat your family with as much care as I would treat my own. I can't wait to meet and care for your animals as well! I'm currently looking for work so I'm very free at the moment. I've loved animals since I was very young so if I could get more into pet care I'd love that. I don't have a place of my own to take care of pets. However, I have taken care of pets in other houses quite often over the years. Your house is your safe place. As someone who is introverted, I know how important a safe place is. With that in mind, I will treat your home with same respect and sanctity that I treat my own if I visit to care for your little ones. Any rules and/or guidelines for your property, I will follow to the best of my abilities to ensure you come back to the same, if not better home than you left from. With regard to your pets at home, you can tell me freely what things there are to keep in mind. The more I know about your pet, the better quality of service I can provide you and your pet with. I am open to discussions about home care options as well, if that is something you are looking for. (Things like yard care, cleaning, etc.)
“We so appreciate Jessica’s willingness to help our doggo whenever our primary walker is unavailable. We always come home to a happy tired dog. Most recently, Maude got to go for a run in the rain. Since I only tend to run if a bear is chasing me, I know Maude must have loved that extra treat!”
“Fantastic walker. She is so kind and you can tell just how much she loves animals. As it’s been getting hotter, she has made sure to check pavement temperatures so it isn’t too hot and is so flexible with making the walks earlier when it’s cooler. Really impressed and absolutely fantastic!”
“Anna was an excellent dog-walker. She was clear about her schedule, was able to handle our sometimes fractious border collie without problems, and was very reliable and pleasant to work with.”
About: I’ve fostered dogs with the company Animal pad in San Diego, I adopted one of those dogs and I volunteer for the Kitsap humane society. I’m recently out of the Navy and about to start school. Looking for short term income where I can have a flexible schedule on the new journey in my life. I will make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you are away and send plenty of cute pictures so you know they are cared for so you can enjoy your time.
“Lisa continues to be a great caregiver for our dog! We have used her services on several occasions and will continue to for the future. She has great communication and you can tell she really cares!”

We have 2 dogs and 3 cats currently, all of which are used to being around other dogs/cats. We want to help you feel good about leaving them so lets us know what we can do to help! Please note that Jerry primarily does drop in visits and we both help with boarding. If you have questions on care, just let us know! I work from home and my husband is a stay at home dad to our two young children so we can provide whatever care is needed, including frequent bathroom breaks, medicines, etc and lots of love! We have a large back yard that is fully fenced in. Our 25 pound terrier loves to play so your fur baby will have friends! I can also provide a separate room or crate for your baby if needed.

Thank you for taking the time to look over my profile! I am staying at home with my 3 kids. I have a lot of extra time to care for your fur babies! All you need to do is schedule me! When taking on your pet they become a priority. Anything that you need done or any instructions you have for your pet I will follow to the T. While also keeping you informed and letting you know how things are going with pictures and messages!

“It was my dog's first time boarding since I adopted him in January. He was so excited to see Kha and even happier to be able to run around a big yard with her dogs.
