“Ferdinand seemed to have a great time with Rachael and her people! He walked into the yard and seemed immediately comfortable. We didn't see the inside, but when we picked him up he was happy and healthy and seemed great, which is all we could ask for. We were sent pics of him playing with the other dogs and Ferd looked as happy as ever. He’ll for sure be back the next time we need to leave him for a trip or even daycare:D”

“Kathy and Ian are not only amazing dog people, but amazing human beings. We recently found out one of our dogs is terminally ill and they welcomed him in their home. They loved on him and made me comfortable knowing he was well taken care of while i had to be away.”

“I left my dog with John for 10 days, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he provided. John kept me updated regularly with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear he truly cares about the dogs he looks after. I’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future!”


“Olive was very well cared for by Teri. Also, Teri is a wonderful communicator, she kept me up to speed on how Olive was doing. I felt like Olive was in good hands and I didn’t have to worry about her at all (FWIW, I often worry about Olive when I am away).”


“Allison was great! She is so kind and was very patient with my Trigger and his anxiety and sent updates with photos throughout the time he was with her. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Chingri loved staying with David and became best friends with an Aussie. David took great care of Chingri and never let her feel bored. He also sent great pictures of her that kept us reassured during our vacation.”

“Michelle took great care of our 2 senior pups! She asked thoughtful questions about their personalities and was quick to establish a routine with them to help them feel comfortable. Her daughter was so caring with them too, it’s clear they are experienced dog lovers and caretakers. Thank you for giving our pups a safe, loving place to stay. We hope they can visit again!”

“Natalie is wonderful! As soon as we got there she made me and my girl comfortable. My dog is very perceptive with people and animals. If she isn’t comfortable she won’t go near them. Immediately my dog was wagging her tail and happy to be there. Likewise, when we picked her up she was happy. While greeting us she kept going back to Natalie as well. I will definitely want my girl to stay with Natalie again. What a relief to find a loving compassionate caring home for my girl when we need one”


“Marshel is great and obviously loves dogs. The fenced yard is perfect as my Golden Retriever loves to spend time outdoors. I feel very comfortable leaving my dogs with Marshel - I know they will be well taken care of!”
“Sheri did a great job taking care of my German Shepard. I really liked that she sent pictures and told me what she was up to during the day. She was also really flexible with my schedule and had a nice backyard for Adal to play. Her other dog was very nice too. ”

“Janelle and Travis are amazing! Our energetic German Shepherd, Bear, had the best time with their family and playing with all the pups. He came home happy and wiped out! They sent us daily videos of him having so much fun, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”

“Highly recommend Monica! Monica took amazing care of our dogs, Romeo and Leo, while we were on vacation. From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, responsible, and easy to work with. She kept us updated regularly with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that both Romeo and Leo were happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. When we picked them up, they came back healthy, relaxed, and in great spirits. What really stood out was how accommodating Monica was with our constantly changing travel schedule. Our trip got rescheduled multiple times, and she was very understanding and flexible, which we truly appreciated. We also loved that she only boards a small number of dogs at a time (just two), so they get plenty of attention and care. We’re so glad we found Monica and will definitely trust her again in the future”

“April is absolute magic! She is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and has created such a wonderful space for the dogs. We left our two dogs with her for four days and felt completely at ease the entire time. She kept us updated, shared helpful insights on how we can continue improving our dogs’ behavior, and took exceptional care of our fur babies. We are so grateful for her and will absolutely be using her again and again!”

“Jill and Aaron were amazingly attentive and kind sitters for our senior Pomeranian with a special diet and medication. They answered any questions we had, and were happy to listen to any info that would help them to better understand our dog’s old-man quirks. They have a great place for dogs to hang and relax, we would highly recommend using their services!”
“Jenny is excellent as always. We were gone for an extended trip to the Philippines, and she provided regular updates and cute pictures of Bouncer while we were away. I also asked if she would be able to give Bouncer a bath since we were gone for a while. Jenny kindly agreed. I gave Jenny additional compensation for this. I could tell that she went above and beyond for my dog. I'll be asking Jenny again for help with Bouncer in the future!”

“Kelsey was amazing with our 2 year old Newfoundland Poodle mix! Our dog is very large and new to boarding, so had some nerves to work out. Kelsey was very patient and kind with him. On day 1 he was reluctant to come out of the kennel, but by the end of his stay, he was happily running in the yard with other dogs. Kelsey sent us videos and pictures for his entire stay. We really appreciate her great care for our silly goofball”

“Nickey is absolutely amazing! She took care of our anxious pup and we could tell he loved her pretty much immediately. She sent numerous photos and videos throughout the day and was very communicative. She went above and beyond and showed our dog so much love. Truly the best dog sitter ever!”

“Wonderful sitter! I received great updates and photos, and Bloom was happy and well cared for. I really appreciated the attention and communication throughout the visits. Would definitely book again!”


About: While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to cats — I’ve been a cat owner for 5 years and live with two cats of my own. I know their routines, moods, and quirks intimately: how to spot when something’s off, how to give meds/administer care if needed, how to make a nervous cat feel safe, and how much they value consistency. I treat every cat I sit for the way I’d want mine treated, with patience, attention, and zero rushing

“Sarah took amazing care of our 2 kitties while we were camping for 5 days! She updated us daily with photos and let us know how they were doing every time. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pets!”


“Working with Anna on a plan to help provide kitty sitting in our home for a few days was a pleasure. Her approach & focus on the pets first while also being attentive to how our home works was a relief! She made it very comfortable & easy to trust her with our home & pets. We would definitely recommend her services & will book with her again.”

“Jeffrey was super communicative, professional and thorough. His update pics are of great quality. I would recommend him to anybody seeking top-tier care for their fur babies.”

“Jenna did a great job with our 2 pups for the week. She communicates well and understood what we needed for our dogs. Very punctual and she made sure they got the love they needed. Would book again. Thank you!”

“Hilary was great. She had great communication and was reliable. She didbdrop in visits while we were out of town. Everything was down the way I asked and I didnt have to worry about a thing. We will be using her again for sure.”

“I hired Kim to watch over my cat while I was away for 5 days. This was my first time using Rover, and I wasn't sure what to expect! Kim was so friendly and helpful the whole time. Her check-ins were very detailed and I felt quite comfortable having take care of my kitty. She even offered to pay a couple of extra visits at no charge if necessary! At the end of the visit, she met up with me to return the key promptly. Communication was fantastic the whole time.

“Amanda is absolutely wonderful! We had to leave last minute for a family trip and she was so accommodating and communicative and really put our mind at ease (and we are so so grateful she was willing to work with us so last second). She is so professional and courteous, and genuinely so great with animals. She took great care of our kitties, and was very thorough. We feel so fortunate to work with her, she goes above and beyond and is just so kind- we highly highly recommend her 🙂”

“Crystal provides a safe and happy place for my dogs. Obi and Haiku return tired and contented. They've had a fun day or afternoon playing with Crystal's dogs. Definitely recommend.”

“Lulu just moved back. Home with me after living with my ex husband the last 3 years. She is very used to other dogs but the anxiety of moving and all the new things and then taking her to doggie daycare while I'm at work must have really sparked her anxiety. Janelle and Travis took extra special care of her and went above and beyond as they always do. We love Janelle and Travis and highly recommend them for your doggie daycare needs!”

“My pups absolutely love getting to hang with DeeAnna. As soon as we pulled up to the driveway today, they got so excited! DeeAnna sends me detailed updates throughout the day, always making me feel like my pups are in the best hands when they’re not at home! Exceptional communication, flexibility and care!”

“Yvonne, as always, went the extra mile in providing excellent care for Gideon while I had medical limitations/driving limitations making it difficult for me to care for Gideon. Her passion is to care for her clients (puppy and parent) as if they were her own. Excellent Service 🐕🦺🐾🐕”

“Kathy and her family took great care of our little dog with a big personality! Major Tom is a rescue who generally has a lot of separation anxiety, but he was happy and relaxed in Kathy's home. My husband and I are SO relieved to find this family so we can enjoy our time away without being preoccupied worrying about our little buddy.”


“Marlene is someone I trust to take good care of my dog. She took care of my sweet Potato for three days and he came home happy and tired from all the play with other dogs. It is nice to know he is in good hands with Marlene.”

“Jennifer was great with our pup!! She has an amazing and huge backyard where the dogs could race around. She was very attentive to our concerns and great with our dog. We are leaving on trip and will be boarding her with Jennifer for a week and trust that she is in good hands.”

“Our 7 month old Molly had a blast at daycare with David!! He’s got a great set up for the dogs, took her for a nice long walk, and sent photo updates through the day to ease the anxious dog mom in me! We are looking forward to future stays with David”

“Anita took great care of my puppy Kaia. She provided maybe updates throughout the day. She was very accommodating to my drop off time and my schedule. She has a very nice place for the dog and a great sized fenced backyard. The best part about my puppy going with Anita is that she even did some training with her. I highly recommend her for all her services on rover. I look forward to booking more daycare appointments in the future.”

“Krysten is the best! We feel so safe leaving our Lucy with her. Krysten is very prompt, extremely responsive, and very friendly. We've used her to walk and board Lucy over the last few months and have no complaints.”

“Having Jiahna care for Gideon has been a real pleasure. She was very helpful and flexible as we did a meet and greet and evaluated if Gideon would be a good fit. She took time to ask really good questions about Gideon and learn all she could so it's the better care for Gideon. From the get-go, Gideon loved being at her house and sharing time with her puppy. It was a good fit. I always knew that Jiahna had Gideon's best in mind, and I always got good reports at the end of the day. So very glad that I got to meet and have Gideon stay with Jiahna. I highly recommend her as a safe and professional Rover person for your canine needs. Gideon will miss her for sure and I have really appreciated the care and great connection that she showed in caring for Gideon. 💜🐕”

About: My very best friend was a rescue American Staffordshire Terrier that I as lucky to have for 14 years. I’ve been working and volunteering at cat rescues for over 6 years. I’ve fostered bottle babies up to geriatric kitties with various medical needs. I've pet sat for friends and people who have adopted my foster cats, including any other pets they may have at home- like dogs and tortoises. Currently I am a stay at home parent. I am available for daily walks, drop ins or house sitting at your home. I am looking forward to building a trusting and fun relationship with your pet. I am located in Lake Stevens. At this time I have a flexible schedule which gives me the availability to plan around your pets individual needs. Current I can not offer constant care. Pets will need to be able to be left alone for 5 hours during the day. I like to keep the pets on their schedule as much as possible and adhere to the owners care requirements. I will respect owner house rules and make the health and safety of an animal under my care a priority.
“Jeffrey is awesome! He has been helping me with Nani for a few months with my chaotic work schedule. He is always prompt for walks, he is great with Nani and helpful to clients (bringing in deliveries, clean-up if there is an accident). I am truly grateful for such a wonderful and thoughtful person.”

About: I currently have two client dogs and I am open to sitting 2-3 more. I come from a family of professional dog trainers. Feel free to reach out! Very well. I can feed often, let them out frequently, do leash walks and play with your dogs. I am an online college student with high moral values so I have a lot of time to tend. I am very reliable. Non smoker or drinker. Feed them, water them, leash walks, and cuddle/ play with them. Administer medications if needed. For my pups we frequently get new toys and go on hikes as well.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and people in my community. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different sizes and personalities, and I make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I have experience with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs so they stay safe and happy. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part-time flexibly and doing hybrid college, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for house sitting whenever as long as I’m able to leave the house for classes and short shifts! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so their pet feels comfortable and secure. I handle feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, litter box cleaning, and any other care instructions the owner provides. I respect the client’s home and keep everything clean and organized while I’m there. I also give pets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise so they stay happy while their owner is away. Communication is very important to me, so I always send updates and photos so pet parents know their pet is safe and doing well.

I am a stay at home mom and a retired Oncology nurse. I have a lot of free time to take care of your pet!

I will look after your pet like one of my own, helping them be happy and safe.

“Stop looking and book Kassandra (unless it conflicts with a time I need her). Reliable, responsible, consistent, thoughtful and caring. We are fortunate to have connected with her. She took great care of our 120 pound Rottweiler who adored her and did so for about 2 weeks. Exceptional find.”

About: I have been around all different kinds of pets my whole life and have always played a part in looking after and caring for them. I am super close with animals and I love getting to know them and connecting with them on a deeper level as well. Family often relies on me to look after pets while out of town and I have also taken part in some pet sitting jobs outside of family that have included basic walks, day-time visits, and sometimes over-night stays. I am currently taking some college classes but still have a lot of free time throughout the week. I’m not working any other jobs either so I’m pretty flexible aside from when I need to be in class. I try to make sure pets feel comfortable with me in their homes while remaining respectful to their environment and routine. I think it’s important to remain flexible as all pets have wants and needs specific to them.
“Mishie has been absolutely amazing with Bella! She is always on time, communicates incredibly well, and keeps me updated after every visit. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she works with. She pays close attention to Bella’s needs, even adjusting their routine when the weather is too hot to safely walk. Instead of just skipping the outing, she made sure Bella still had enrichment and attention. She has even incorporated some training into their time together, which I really appreciate, and surprised Bella with a few new toys out of her own kindness. Knowing Bella is with someone who is reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in her well-being gives me so much peace of mind. Mishie goes above and beyond, and I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family!”

About: I have loved dogs my whole life, even made a career out of it. I have past experience with dog training, as well as having my own animals. I currently have 4 children that range in ages the youngest being an infant, please make sure your pups are good with small children. I do make sure my kids respect your pups boundaries and not climb all over or other things but if your dog is afraid of small children my home will not be a good fit. I have 5 animals.of my own. Maya my rottie is just an absolute love who is all about her babies, Sabrina my terrier just wants to play and cuddle, the three cats are all very dog friendly and love to meet new pups or cats. I will care for your animals like they were my own. I am very active and will make sure your fur baby is properly exercised. I am very passionate about animals and there over all health, i have my associate's degree in Veterinary Science, and then want to continue in the Veterinary field. Your fur baby will be in very good hands with me. Anything else you would like to know just ask!! I do require all dogs to be crate trained and fixed. For safety reasons all the dogs that come through my home including my own sleep in crates. I'm not able to supervise at night and your pups safety is my #1 priority. I also require all dogs to be fixed. I have had issues previously with dogs staying with me that were unaltered. I currently am a Stay-at-home Mom, with 4 children, one is an infant. I love to be physically active and walk dogs often, mental stimulation is a must and I have plenty of puzzle and stimulating toys. Dogs staying in my home are required to be fixed and flea treated!! I have a fully fenced yard with lots of room to run. My two dogs would love to keep your fur baby company and to play and cuddle. I do require that dogs be crated at night for bedtime just for safety or else they free roam. I currently work from home so I have plenty of time to play and exercise you pups!! When I'm not available to meet you for pick up or drop off my Husband is normally here to assist. I have a wonderful 2 story home with a fulll fenced in yard. My two amazing dogs would love to keep your pups company as they play and bounce around. For safety I do require your dogs to be crate trained because I do crate for bedtime and when I leave, other then that they free play and roam.
About: I have taken of dogs since I was a kid. From big dogs, small dogs and everything in between. We currently don’t have dogs if our own and lost our last little man in 2025. We had 2 small Morkies. We recently moved from a lg property in TX where we took care of lots of fur friends often at once. While we have a smaller yard we miss our pups as well as the fun we had caring for other people’s furry kids. While I work full time my husband is now retired and we are ready to share our home with new friends. We do have to limit who we can care for to small dogs or non shedding bigger Doodles, so if your furry kid is less than 15lbs or is a larger non shedding breed or Doodle we’d love to meet them and be a safe place to leave your furry family members. My husband is retired so he typically spends his days gardening, fishing or working on projects around the house. Since we have both had pets our whole lives we are very comfortable caring for dogs and their needs. We have a small backyard and big indoor space downstairs for pups to lounge and chill. We also have a 15 year old who loves to cuddle with fur friends. We have a great neighborhood for walking dogs and enjoying taking walks as well so adding a dog or 2 is easy.
About: I’ve been trusted to take care of many of my families dogs. Feeding their dogs, taking them out for walks, keeping them entertained, and picking up after themselves. I’m a High School student about to graduate so after graduation I am not busy at all, walking dogs would be an excellent way to stay active during nice days. I walk/play with my dog everyday keeping him active and healthy, feed him when need be and clean up after him. When going over to families house I take the dog out for walks, play with them and clean up any messes they made.

“Ferdinand seemed to have a great time with Rachael and her people! He walked into the yard and seemed immediately comfortable. We didn't see the inside, but when we picked him up he was happy and healthy and seemed great, which is all we could ask for. We were sent pics of him playing with the other dogs and Ferd looked as happy as ever. He’ll for sure be back the next time we need to leave him for a trip or even daycare:D”


“Allison was great! She is so kind and was very patient with my Trigger and his anxiety and sent updates with photos throughout the time he was with her. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Chingri loved staying with David and became best friends with an Aussie. David took great care of Chingri and never let her feel bored. He also sent great pictures of her that kept us reassured during our vacation.”

“Sheri did a great job taking care of my German Shepard. I really liked that she sent pictures and told me what she was up to during the day. She was also really flexible with my schedule and had a nice backyard for Adal to play. Her other dog was very nice too. ”

“Janelle and Travis are amazing! Our energetic German Shepherd, Bear, had the best time with their family and playing with all the pups. He came home happy and wiped out! They sent us daily videos of him having so much fun, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”

“Highly recommend Monica! Monica took amazing care of our dogs, Romeo and Leo, while we were on vacation. From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, responsible, and easy to work with. She kept us updated regularly with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that both Romeo and Leo were happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. When we picked them up, they came back healthy, relaxed, and in great spirits. What really stood out was how accommodating Monica was with our constantly changing travel schedule. Our trip got rescheduled multiple times, and she was very understanding and flexible, which we truly appreciated. We also loved that she only boards a small number of dogs at a time (just two), so they get plenty of attention and care. We’re so glad we found Monica and will definitely trust her again in the future”

“April is absolute magic! She is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and has created such a wonderful space for the dogs. We left our two dogs with her for four days and felt completely at ease the entire time. She kept us updated, shared helpful insights on how we can continue improving our dogs’ behavior, and took exceptional care of our fur babies. We are so grateful for her and will absolutely be using her again and again!”

“Kelsey was amazing with our 2 year old Newfoundland Poodle mix! Our dog is very large and new to boarding, so had some nerves to work out. Kelsey was very patient and kind with him. On day 1 he was reluctant to come out of the kennel, but by the end of his stay, he was happily running in the yard with other dogs. Kelsey sent us videos and pictures for his entire stay. We really appreciate her great care for our silly goofball”

“Anna was truly amazing. So excited to find our Lulu girls second favorite place to be. She was so accommodating when I booked the wrong weekend. She communicated so well. Sending me lots of pictures. She had other golden doodles and they played and went on walks. I was afraid she would not want to come home. Definitely will be booking a lot with her!”

“Rebecca was so kind to watch Grizzly on short notice and he had a BLAST playing with her pups. She’s reliable and communicative and we would recommend her to anyone!!”

“This was Lola’s 3rd visit with Alexa. I trust that she’s in good hands when she’s with Alexa and I get random texts and pics of her antics (mainly furniture hogging) during her stay. We will continue using Alexa anytime we need a place for Lola to go while we’re out of town. Highly 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!”

“I was so nervous at first to leave our dogs with someone we didn’t know but, we LOVED Lynne!! She took such good care of our dogs. Treated them like her own. We got pics and updates everyday! Lynne is the best!!!!”

“Kimberly took great care of our Louie girl. Kimberly sent us photos each day we were gone. She also was able to pick up and drop off which was very convenient for us. Would rebook with her for sure!”


“Tyler watched our 2 year old mini Aussie Potato and it went so well!! He is so communicative, responsive, and reliable. Potato can be shy and sensitive to noises and he worked so well with her to make her feel comfortable. He took her on two long walks as well and played with her to make sure all her needs were met. I couldn’t recommend Tyler more!”

“Anita is a very wonderful sitter, took care of my doggo like her own, played with her when he did not want to walk, gave him home made food and took him on long walks. She shared lots of updates too.”

“My Puppy was so loved and well taken care of on her first overnight visit with Christel. I was very nervous about leaving her for the first time and from the moment I met Christel, I could tell that she is experienced, kind, gentle, and definitely a "Dog" person. She sent wonderful photos/videos during her stay and my puppy had the most wonderful overnight ever! You will be so lucky that you choose Christel to care for your puppy! I know I am so grateful I found her!”

“Margaret and Michael took the best care of our dog, Penny, in their home for 10 days. It was our first time leaving Penny and they were amazing - extremely responsive from start to finish, made sure to get to know Penny and ask all the right questions in advance, sent daily photo updates, and kept us updated on how she was doing during her stay. Penny came home happy and healthy and it was clear she had a great time at their home. So thankful to have found Margaret and we will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

“Whiskey Goose has a great time when he stays with Ashley and her family. They are a wonderful family who loves dogs and takes good care of them. It’s nice to have found someone I could trust with my dog while I’m away. I also appreciate the daily updates, photos and their flexibility.”
