“James was absolutely fantastic with Sven! Sven was well taken care of with many pictures along the way. James was flexible with changing plans and very communicative throughout the week—did not worry one bit about how Sven was doing.”
“Kayla and Jacob took amazing care of our energetic lab. The property was great for our dog to play and explore. Their family treated our dog as one of their own, making us feel at ease while we were away for an extended time. Would definitely use again!”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“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!”
“Mike was great at communicating leading up to and during the boarding. Our dog Frankie warmed up to Mike and his wife Sherri very quickly. She got lots of exercise and was in such a happy mood when we picked her up. We were very happy to meet Mike and will be excited to have Frankie visit again.”
“Great stuff, easy fast drop off and pickup, was flexible when I needed to change the time and washed my dog when he rolled in poop. My dog is a nervous little guy but he was fine with the whole thing.”
“Lorelei is fantastic! She loves dogs so much, so we felt confident leaving our puppy with her for a vacation. She sent photos and videos during the trip, which was so reassuring and helped us relax. We also appreciated her quick responses and flexibility when arranging drop off and pick up. We are so glad we found Lorelei!”
“Maria is an amazing sitter. If you are reading this review, book her services now! Maria watched my pup Milo for a week. She fell in love with him, showering him with love, treats and affection. She regularly sent updates on how he was doing, and took him out for beach walks. We scheduled a meet and greet to make sure Milo would get along with her pups. They got along fabulously and her dogs are so affectionate and sweet. Maria is also flexible with arranging pick up and drop off times which is greatly appreciated. Milo usually has some trouble eating when he is away from me. Maria quickly figured out how to soothe his anxiety and got him to eat quickly. When I came back Milo was clearly happy to see me, but also looked like he had had fun, rest and lovely time. I will book with Maria again and again! I highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“Awesome pet sitter, treated our pup like his own. Great communication and very inviting. Our pup didn’t want to leave. Definitely top tier pet sitter he’s worth the money!”
“Jessica was great! She was communicative throughout, and I felt really comfortable leaving Dakota with her. Her dog, Ollie, is super sweet, and he and Dakota got along really well. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“I am living for a few months near Poulsbo and needed to find a dog sitter in the area. I connected with Brianna and we visited briefly before my trip. I immediately felt comfortable with her. She took great care of Romeo, sent me photos and updates and was easy to communicate with. My dog is small and he got along with their much larger dog. I highly recommend Brianna as a caring dog sitter.”
“Donna was absolutely lovely and sent many pictures of my puppy's stay with her. My dog loves to be held and snuggle and she obliged. My dog was completely happy and at ease when I came to pick her up.”
“Kevin and his partner took great care of our dog, Ozzy. We got nice pics everyday, so we could see how he was doing. They took Ozzy on walks, and the communication was excellent. The whole process was smooth and easy. I highly recommend Kevin.”
“Melissa and her family were wonderful about taking our boys during Thanksgiving! Our dogs were treated so well, and came home tired and happy. :) I would highly recommend Melissa!”
“Alexa was a fantastic care taker to my two border collies. I got frequent pictures and videos and it was clear my dogs settled in early! They were right at home. Alexa was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and I would absolutely use her again in the future. Your pets would be lucky to stay with her!”
“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.”

“Anna was exactly what we wanted for a sitter. She did everything and more and was always updating me on Alfie while I was on my trip. She went out of her way to make my cat and I both more comfortable while separated and i’m so grateful.”
“My dogs were so excited to have Christine drop by for a visit during one of my long work days! I came home and could instantly tell she did a great job entertaining them and making sure they had ample time for potty breaks, following all of my guidelines to a T. She communicated very well and I am so grateful for her care. Looking forward to having her stay with them for an extended trip at the end of summer.”
“Our second time booking Valerie - this time for a longer trip. We were so at ease knowing Valerie was taking care of our cats, especially our older cat who has medical needs and desires lots of affection. Valerie made sure to give her extra snuggles and attention, while also giving our other cat the space she desires. We will definitely book again!”
“Amanda did a great job with her drop-ins. We had a rather long vacation away from my cat and I was worried about him. I was happy to see a picture each day. It looked like he warmed up as the visits went on. The first day Amanda walked into a broken treat canister and most of the treats eaten. She immediately contacted me and cleaned up the mess. He care of Cosmo was very appreciated.”
“Natascha took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away and kept us updated with pictures every day. She even noticed some issues with our snake and chinchilla and was happy to take care of those for us so we didn’t have to bother our neighbor. It meant a lot knowing someone dependable was there to check in on them.”
About: I am new to the world of cats but determined to make your loved one my best friend! I have a few neighborhood cats that I feed and am always looking for more experiences with pets of any kind.
“Erica was the best! She did all she could to make my cat and me comfortable and more. .. She sent me pictures and gave me updates, and watered my plants and everything! I would give her 6 stars if that was an option!”
“Victoria was wonderful! I have two cats who are usually very shy around new people, but they were comfortable around her. She took pictures every time she came over, and from the very first day, she had the shy cats interacting and playing with her. She was communicative throughout and took excellent care of things, including giving photo updates on how much they’d eaten. I would definitely book her again in the future.”
“Allison is amazing! She did such a great job with drop in visits for my kitties. She is very kind and friendly. Went above and beyond taking care of the girls. Sent cute photo updates. Very respectful of the house too. When ever I go out of town again, I’ll definitely see if Allison is available. Crimson had tons of fun hanging out with her and told me all about it :)”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 14. My first dog was a lab mix and he is now 14 years old. I currently have two cats and two dogs of my own that I have taken care of for the past few years. I have also helped friends and neighbors with their little furry friends by walking and feeding them. My current schedule for right now can be any night time stays. I can also help out anytime after 7:30am Monday to Fridays, or weekends full-day. I am close to local dog parks which I take my two puppies to everyday. They love to play with other dogs there and play tug of war or catch at the park. I also love to take walks by the water or go on hikes with my dogs.
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of our needy cats! You gave them the attention they need and catered to all their special requests! We arrived home to happy kitties.”
“Constance was quick to reply from the very beginning even when I first reached out and had never used Rover for a cat sitter. She took the time to come over for a meet and greet to get the layout and to learn our cats feeding schedule and where the toys and food and trays were located. I loved receiving the little notes and photos of our cat after every visit. These check ins were peace of mind that our cat was being well cared for while getting some snuggle and playtime in each day. Thank you so much for caring for the well-being of our cat while we were away. We will contact Constance again since she did great!”
“Khayl was great at updating us with our cats who loved to hide from everyone. She took care of our fish tanks and sent pictures of how the tanks looked during her visits.”
“Kimberly went above and beyond my expectations or my additional requests.Im a 1st time user of Rover, and in fact have never had a cat/pet-sitter before. Kimberly got back to my inquiry within 15 minutes, and was able to help me with less than 12 hours notice. Upon my request, I asked if she could come by the house so I could leave her all my (insane and overly protectiveness) notes. We had initially agreed to 30 min drop-ins everyday, but after I met her I asked if she could do 2 visits a day, which she was able to accommodate my worry for leaving my cat alone. Kimberly provided photos of my cat EVERY VISIT and messaged me every time I needed to check-in (for my sanity). I had interior cameras set up and could honestly look in when I was curious, but she was amazing and meeting all my cats needs. Her interaction, and updates showed me that aside from me, and including my daughter, my cat seemed to love her almost as much as me! My cat was even following her out every visit the last few days! Kimberly loved my cat, and even fed the outdoor birds & squirrels in my absence since they are my cats TV entertainment throughout the days. ***Note: I didn't even return to a "present" from my cat! I can't recommend Kimberly enough!!! It was the BEST experience for both me and my cat! She will be there as much as you need her to, even on Christmas Day and evening!!! ❤️”
About: Cat parents know that cats needs are unique compared to other pets. I have plenty of experience from having cats of my own my whole life and working in vet med caring for cats of all kinds with all different needs in stressful situations. I will take the time to get to know your babies and take things at their pace building trust and making your kitty feels as safe as they can. I scoop litter boxes daily and keep food dishes clean. Depending on the cats comfort level and temperament I am able to trim nails, brush, administer medications (pill, transdermal, injectable), subcutaneous fluids, etc by myself. For me cats are always inside unless specifically told they go outside, catios are great!
About: I provide an outstanding level of care for your furry family members. I have been able to personally own and take care of a wide variety of pets, from large German Shepherds to small Pomeranians to cats and even lizards and snakes. I currently have a big fluffy Bernese mountain dog who will be turning 3 in October. I love working with owners to ensure that their pet is treated just like they would be at home. I will provide an outstanding level of care and attention for your family and look forward to working with you! I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to get plenty of time in with my own pup each day, and let’s me watch additional pets during the week. Weekends can often be busy, but if planned ahead of time we can watch a furry friend then too. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised play and potty time. I also own additional bowls, and a full sized crate if needed. A block and a half down the street is a mostly fenced park I take my pup to play in as well if more space is needed. The neighborhood is great for walks, but does have several hills which can be difficult for older, larger dogs. My dog only needs about 30 min a day of play-time, but if yours needs more we can plan for that too.
“Meghan was able to board our recently adopted kitty on short notice. She took extra special care of him and really made him feel a part of her home. Our kitty got plenty of love and companionship in addition to stellar care while he was with Meghan. Would highly recommend!!”
“Brian is wonderful with our dog! He is easy to communicate with, reliable and trustworthy. Our dog loves to see him and looks forward to his visits. Brian really cares about our dog and I’m so grateful we connected. Not only does he clearly love and respect animals, he is also very professional and detail oriented. 100% recommend him for any pet sitting needs.”

“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 💓”

“My dog always got so excited when it was time to drop her off for daycare in the morning and was always tired in the evening when it was time for pickup! She always seemed to have a great time. Couldn't recommend enough!”
“Emily has the setup when it comes to caring for dogs. Our pup, Bowie, was picked up both days happy as can be. Emily updated us throughout the day with pictures and engaged with Bowie with some of his favorite games, tug and Frisbee. He even made other dog friends! What more can you ask for. I'm handsdown booking with Emily/ Pacific Paws 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”
“Charis has been so great with our dogs Betty and Walter. They love coming to see her, and we feel very confident they are in good care with her. Charis has been great with communicating and accommodating last minute requests when possible. We feel lucky to have found her!”
“This was our first time booking a sitter/boarder for Lola and we had a great experience with Robin. I was fortunate to be able to book with her on fairly short notice for a weekday. We went from a daycare visit to an overnight stay seamlessly. She accepted my unspayed dog, which was also very fortunate. Lola had a fenced in yard, gracious family with kid(s), a clean home, and animals to keep her company during her stay. Overall, I found her responsive, easygoing and very accommodating. I'd feel safe bringing Lola to her again in the future. :)”
About: I have a deep understanding and genuine love for animals. My approach involves creating a comfortable and safe environment for pets, ensuring they feel secure and happy my home or in their own home. I tailor my care to each pet's unique needs, whether it's providing extra playtime, administering medications, or simply offering companionship. With a keen eye for detail, I pay close attention to specific instructions and routines, ensuring a seamless experience for both the pet and their owner. Your furry friends are not just clients to me; they become cherished companions, and I take pride in fostering a bond built on trust and affection. I work remotely so your pet will have my full attention. I am available to let them out throughout the day and a daily walk! In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize the well-being and comfort of the pets under my care. When sitting in my own space, I ensure a pet-friendly environment with designated areas for play, rest, and meals. Daily routines are maintained, including regular walks, playtime, and adherence to feeding schedules. In clients' homes, I strive to replicate the familiar surroundings and routines the pets are accustomed to. This minimizes stress and anxiety, providing a seamless transition in their owners' absence. I adhere strictly to any special instructions, dietary needs, and medication schedules. Whether in my home or theirs, the foundation of my pet care service is built on creating a secure, loving atmosphere that promotes the overall happiness and well-being of the furry companions entrusted to me.
“Wow! Cathleen is SO good! Mooch had a very successful first doggie day care and we will have him back. Cathleen is calm, loving and responsible. She is also very in tune with Mooch and his surroundings which contributed to his successful time away. Mooch is a Covid puppy with separation anxiety but you couldn’t tell with his time at Cathleen’s. She is a pro and a great choice ❤️”
“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!”
“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.”
“Kristina is so kind and I just know my pup will have a blast each time she goes over. Very attentive and sends updates in the day which is nice. I definitely trust and recommend Kristina for future dog care”
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.

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.

“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.”
“We have a newly adopted senior dog with severe separation anxiety after the loss of his previous owner. Leaving him home alone proved unsuccessful. In searching for a solution we found Jennifer and Alex. We are so relieved Jennifer and Alex welcomed Jett into their home and provided a safe, loving, fun place. He socializes with their pets beautifully and we get to enjoy the texted photos showing him happy and at ease with their three dog pack.”
“Brooke is lovely, flexible and genuine. Posy felt comfortable with her quickly and her pup Dennis. I look forward to having her care for my precious Posy again and love her patient responsive style. She is clearly a good and respectful human who loves the dogs she cares for.”

“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.

They give so much and deserve our best care in return. I have a special fondness for seniors. I am retired with plenty of free time! I like to walk for exercise and, of course, it's better with a dog (or two or three)! In your home, I and my small senior dog will take good care of your pet(s) as well as your property. We like to go for walks every day.
“Absolutely fabulous. She brought her dog Jimmy and planned to leave him in her car, while she walked my Leo, but I asked her to take Jimmy with Leo if she thought she could handle two big dogs at once. She did. She could. My Leo had a great time and made a new friend. Perfect! The pictures were so adorable.”
About: I love dogs! I'm happy to reinforce any training as needed. I also love to take dogs on local adventures and walks in the surrounding areas. I'm currently a grad student and will be needing to make some extra money starting next month. I will be on a semi flexible schedule allowing for pet sitting and house sitting. I'm trustworthy and will follow through on any needs expressed. I appreciate clear and direct communication. If a specific request is unclear, I will ask.

Matthew sent me updates and pictures throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend Matthew to others.”
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.
“Kirsten hosted our 1 1/2 yr old black lab for 9 days for our first Rover boarding experience and it was so smooth from drop off to pick up! Kirsten was very communicative and sent daily activity summaries and pictures throughout Skye's stay. It put our mind at ease knowing that Kirsten and her family have extensive dog experience and clearly care for each dog that comes through their home. We will definitely be having Skye stay at Kirsten's for any future trips!”
“Trenton and Jordan are amazing! Our husky loved her time with them - so content, comfortable and perfectly worn out at pick up. She’s all husky - vocal, a bit bossy, independent but a snuggler and playful. They met her exactly where she’s at. It is obvious they are incredibly intuitive with dogs, speak dog and love them all. Thank you Trenton! Mara will be back!”
“Christie was a wonderful host to our 2 pugs. This was out first Rover experience and we could not have been happier. Christie sent us pictures and updates every day and even sent us home with portraits that will have us laughing and enjoying for years. We definitely plan to have Christie watch our babies again. They had so much fun and were very loved.”
“Kristina and her family were absolutely amazing! We were able to do a meet and greet at their house. They have an awesome backyard and inside set up for the dogs. They helped us feel comfortable leaving our family members in their knowledgeable care! They sent us pictures and videos while we were away that put smiles on our faces! Strongly recommend!!”
“Pickle didn't want to leave because he had so much fun! Casie was very knowledgeable about dogs and took great care of our boy. She even gave him a bath because he was so muddy from playing all week. Would definitely recommend her to anyone and would definitely use her services again.”
