“Crystal and Michael provided incredible care for our sweet Suzy, a 7 month old puppy who requires extra supervision. The whole family was involved with her care and they were attentive, patient, and loving. Crystal was responsive and friendly and clearly a knowledgeable dog lover and we felt confident that Suzy was in good hands. Suzy was happy, healthy, and well-looked after when we returned."”
“Eileen and Jeff are fantastic sitters. We never once worried about our dog because she would send updates and pics each day. They have watched my dog several times and it’s always been a great experience. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda was great. Our dog is named Rover (yes). We dropped off Rover with Amanda for two nights. Rover would normally bark at someone new but he liked Amanda. She sent us pictures during the trip and gave him a bath too! She was easy to work with regarding drop off and pick up times. When we picked him up we could tell he had a good visit with Amanda. We plan to book with her again. ?”
“Leslie was outstanding with my older dog, Ginger. She took picures and sent me text messages to let me know how she was doing. So pleased with her care that I booked a second stay next month!”
“Oscar spent a few days with Heather and was clearly well looked after, relaxed and happy. The communication was great and it's always nice to receive pictures and updates—I can only recommend Heather and would happily book with her again. Cheers!”
“We dropped off Ziggy for the weekend after a visit to the vet where we left with four medications, a cone and a bloody paw. Philip didn't flinch. (He was two minutes from where I was visiting my mom, so we could have been there if anything had come up.) We didn't get a lot of updates, but we came back to a dog who seemed happy, and better yet, hadn't been chewing on his paw. Highly recommend.”
“Patricia is truly a 5-Star sitter! We really appreciate the time and attention she invested in getting acquainted with our boxer's particular needs and quirks. She was very positive and great communicating both before and during Rocky's stay. We received daily updates, both stories of his antics, or pic's of him just relaxing with the family. Clearly, they made him feel welcome. At one point during our trip, Patricia even helped us out with a minor emergency house visit. You know you've found a great pet sitter when you see an attachment has formed when you pick up your pet. We will definitely ask Patricia to care for Rocky again. Highly recommend!”
“It was our first time using the Rover App and having someone watch Roman that he wasn’t already familiar with. We were a bit nervous, but Jeniel made it all very easy! She sent photos and was really easy to communicate with throughout! Would recommend for sure!”
“Our dogs had a great weekend with Georgia and her pet family. She sent us photos and videos of our dogs throughout their stay. We will definitely use Georgia again for our pet needs. Thank you!”
“Emily is the absolute best and we so highly recommend her! We are moving out of the area and can only hope to find someone as wonderful to take in our pup when we can’t travel with her. Emily loves her guests like her own and provides updates, always assuring us our pup is well cared for and having a great time. Thank you Emily!!”
“Alton, Valerie, and kids, did a wonderful job taking care of Remy. He was happy and had a lot of attention. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a place to have their dog taken care of. They go above and beyond to provide a safe, fun, and caring service!”
“Here’s a warm, concise Rover review: We had a great experience! She was so sweet and caring with Cocopuff and was very flexible with our travel schedule. We even forgot to pack his food, and she was incredibly accommodating and made everything easy. We felt he was in great hands and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog came home happier and more relaxed than ever after his stay—Kelly and her family showered him with love and attention the entire time. She sent the sweetest daily photo updates; we couldn’t ask for a kinder, more trustworthy person to watch our fur baby!”
“This was the first time that we had left Wilda for overnight. Lindsay and Leland made us feel comfortable and confident that managing an energetic 10 month old puppy was no problem. We are so happy that we have found such great caregivers for Wilda!”
“Carly was so kind and quick to reply to me, including sending photos and updates on his health often. She had all his things collected and ready for me when I came to pick him up. We will be seeing her again someday!”
“Our dog Sam had an amazing experience staying with Isabelle and Fred. It was short notice, and they made it an amazing experience throughout. They took such good care of him, even made him Christmas dog treats! Highly recommend”
“Ashley and Robbie did an amazing job loving our pups while we were away! They took them exploring and kept them active! I didn’t doubt for a minute that they were loving their time with this sweet family! Thank you guys so much for taking care of our boys!”
“Cheryl was amazing and was flexible for our unexpected trip in Spokane. Juniper had amazing time at Cheryl's with other wonder doggos! She sent lots of pics and updates. Juniper came home happy and tired after fun with friends. Would definitely recommend!”
“Excellent experience working with Kate! She took Juniper in for almost two weeks and I felt very comfortable with her. Flynn is adorable and they got along great”
“Brooke was so great with my pup and accommodating! We were visiting out of state and she made me feel comfortable that Goose would be just fine. She provided updates and gave a little tour of where Goose would be playing during her stay. Goose & I highly recommend Brooke!”

“Ashton and Shelby are responsible, caring and conscientious. They are great at communicating, and showed flexibility when I had a need for an extra visit. Knowing that they were truly caring for my animals helped me have the peace of mind needed to relax and enjoy my trip. I highly recommend them and will not hesitate to hire them again. My cats, rabbits, fish and plants were all well-looked after and I really enjoyed all the photos and updates!”

“Lori cared for my much-loved kitties, Blanca and Gizmo, for two weeks while I was on vacation. My kitties became comfortable with Lori during our meet & greet and I was thoroughly impressed. They are sweet kitties but usually a bit skittish around new humans, except Lori. Lori did a combination of drop-ins and overnights. She sent me updates and pictures on a daily basis, so I k new they were happy and well-cared for. I would highly recommend Lori; she is a kind and thoughtful person and was amazing with my kitties.”
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life and grew up with multiple cats, so I’m very comfortable caring for different personalities and temperaments. I’ve also cared for friends’ and family members’ cats while they were away, making sure they stayed on their usual routines and received plenty of attention and care. I understand that every cat is different—some are social and playful, while others prefer their space. My goal is to make each cat feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their pet is in good hands.
“Leah didn’t excellent job taking care of our cats! She was very flexible, communicative, and gave us frequent updates. Our kitties were well taken care of and we would definitely hire her again!”

About: I grew up with animals my whole life, especially dogs and cats. At a time we always had four dogs and four cats. I also have two cats of my own and cannot have a dog at the moment, but I miss interacting with them and being around their goofy, loving, and fun personalities! My I currently work week days from 7:00 a.m to 2:00 p.m. and am available weekends! My daily routing includes taking a morning walk every day from 5:00-5:30 a.m but I love walking at all parts of the day! I love my cats more than anything and will treat your pets the same!

“Rebecca is an AMAZING cat sitter./ house sitter. This was the first time leaving my 2 , 6 month old kittens for 6 days. I was nervous about it, but Rebecca was great about letting me check in and she sent me pictures twice a day. When I got home the house was cleaned, and the boys were happy!!!!!! I so thankful for such a positive experience, and will use Rebecca again next time I travel!!!!!”
About: As an experienced pet caregiver and lifelong animal lover, I understand that every cat has their own personality and routine. My background in a boarding kennel and pet vaccine clinic has given me the skills to care for cats who may be nervous, independent, or need extra patience. I focus on creating a low-stress, gentle environment and providing the same level of care and attention I give my own pets.

“Georgia’s home was a fantastic home for my dog to have fun and be safe in! He played well with her dogs and was super easy to communicate with! Will definitely be boarding with her more often!”

“Teri is wonderful! Great communication and lots of photos of dogs having fun! My dog adores her and gets so excited to visit. When I pick her up, she just naps in the back seat because she's so tired from playing all day.”
About: I love animals of all kinds and am happy to take care for your pets. Your dogs and cats will be loved and cared for like they’re my own. I know the area well and my neighborhood is very dog friendly and safe for walking. I have experience taking care of animals with anxiety and that are recovering from surgery. Thank you for trusting me with your pets, Please let me know any special requests or needs you have for your animals or home. Currently on a job search so I’m not sure of my daily schedule in the future, but I won’t be working more than 8 hours at a time and most likely only 30 hours a week. For house sitting and boarding, I will at home as much as possible, with the exception of running necessary errands. I’ll do my best to keep your pet happy and comfortable, and stick to your pets routines i.e. walks, play time, feeding time etc. (I sometimes board more than one dog at a time but only with your express permission of both owners)
“Hannah is simply the best! She watches our pup every week but in addition to that she watched him so we could go out on a date night. She loves our good boy like her own and it is just wonderful! 🥰”
About: I’m from the Seattle area and I’ve been with Rover since 2018. In 2020 I got married to Micaiah my husband. When we married we added an additional cat to the family that belonged to him. So we have 4 cats. Before Rover I volunteered at PetsMart with Purrfect pals. One day a week I would help with cleaning, playing, and as a team member I helped cats find a furrrever home. My first cat in my life was when I was 8. I have always enjoyed pets and nature. So I decided to combine walking and dogs. Walks in the park or just around the block. I’m looking to be your new regular dog walker. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pets!! I’m also a very detail and observant person so walks, sittings, and daycare services would also have a description of how your pet is doing. I chart any different behavior or eating habits along with health concerns. Updates with photos would be a priority. I'd also ask for the dog's vet info and emergency contacts. Have a paw-some day! My schedule is flexible. I usually find clients prefer weekday schedule M-F routine for walks. This is my full time job! My time is your time! I’m very safety cautious. I will keep updates and photos on the pet regularly during the day. I also request the pet’s medical information and their vet clinic. I’m pretty flexiable with scheduling. I try my best to fit in the schedule my clients want for their pets. Only days I need off for two hours are Sunday and Thursday. For security and safety I please ask for NO GUNS OR SUBSTANCES in house. I want to feel safe in the environment same goes for your pets. Thanks! I’m making this a full time job. M-F. I’m flexible with the scheduling. I’m open to picking up and dropping off clients dogs. Dogs will have one of us home with them. I have a fenced yard and five cats. I rescued two which are a mom and her kitten. My three cats are fun to spend my day with as well. I have a senior cat that needs daily meds and I try all I can to keep them happy and healthy.
“Jennifer and David are very accommodating and caring. Our dog Bodhi was a little anxious that night (not his normal self) and they gave him the attention he needed.”
“Cheryl is the best puppysitter ever! I felt super confident leaving my crew of three with her and she texted throughout the day with pictures and updates! My normally super manic depressed dog when I’m gone was happy as a clam! Thanks so much for caring for my crew!”
“Hannah takes my big ole GSD twice a week. She always sends me photos and he is always fulfilled when he comes home. She feeds him in the evening since I work late :) Highly recommend!!”
“Mimi and her family took such wonderful care of our Velzy girl! From the moment we met I felt at ease and so did our pup. Velzy had the best time with Chester and they got along great!Lovely home with the best backyard. We will MOST DEFINITELY be booking again and again and again. Highly recommended! Thank you Mimi + fam!!! 🧡”
“Our pup stayed overnight and had a great time! We received photos, videos and updates on our doggo throughout the day. When we dropped him off he was excited & upon picking him up he was playing. We will be back!”
“Absolutely wonderful! We are so thankful for Jessica this week and Fury cannot wait to come back! Exceptional service for our little man, she went above and beyond as he is still learning potty training, walking on the leash, etc. He played hard, got to socialize and meet new friends. We loved our rover cards getting to see what he did for the day! Thank you so much, we really appreciate knowing he is in such good hands!”
“We left Jack with Haley & Audriana while visiting from out of town. He had a wonderful time! The house is nice and in a nice neighborhood with a comfortable, fenced back yard that offered shade on a hot day. We will definitely look them up when we come into town next time!”
“Thank you, Travis and your family, for taking care of Henry and Lucca. You always communicate promptly and take great care of them. We are thankful to find someone in the area who we feel certain will take care of our boys.”
“Wow! I am so happy for my pups that they got to spend their day with Patricia while I was at a wedding. It was such a good day for them. They got to play, run, wrestle, go to dog park 2x, sleep, eat, wake-up and do it all again, and again. Patricia also took 20 pictures for me to see them throughout the day. I’m also happy she got to be with them. I look forward to when they can spend their day with her again. Thank-you soooo much! 🙂Kari”
“First time using app based on local recommendation. Traveling with an extended stay. Had a meet and greet with Jackie before doggie day care to settle my nerves. Warm and friendly and bonded with Ranger immediately. Met her at house next day for drop off and she was very attentive asking questions about allergies and concerns. Felt very comfortable and at ease with leaving Ranger there for a “staycation”. He settled in quickly and Jackie kept me updated with text and pics and how he was doing throughout the day. The pics say it all. Highly recommended and hope we have another opportunity in the future.”
“Genevieve was a lifesaver and took Maeve in for a last minute doggie daycare request. She allowed us to see where Maeve would be hanging out and meet her other dogs. We got updates on how it was going and Maeve looked so happy! They took her on a hike & let her play in the water. Their home, with a large yard and doggie door, was the perfect fit for Maeve. And she was wiped out when she got home. We are so happy we found Genevieve!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life and love dogs! I am a hands on care giver and make sure the pets are happy and healthy. I work remotely so I am home all day with my 12-year-old boy and a 5-year-old Schnoodle, Coco. My daughter is pre-med at WSU and is often home to help as well. Coco is current with all vaccines, spayed, and loves furry friends visiting! I have a fenced yard that is wide open for lots of fun playing. I also take daily walks with the dogs so they get to smell the news!

About: - Grew up in the country surrounded by dogs, cats, reptiles, chickens, and other farm animals my whole life. - I’ve house sitted for family friends dogs and plants - I highly prioritize communication and safety on both sides I’m very available at the moment as I just graduated. I am happy both to set up a reoccurring service or stay flexible from week to week over the summer. I can’t keep animals in my apartment, but I am physically and mentally capable of the challenges regarding pets like crates, leashes, exercise/play, differences in personalities, and minor discipline if wanted.
About: I have over 9 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including grooming, basic training, and pet sitting. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I was actively involved with my local humane society in Arizona where I fostered multiple litters of puppies as well as dogs with complex trauma backgrounds, helping them build trust, confidence, and readiness for their furever homes. That experience taught me patience, calm handling, and how to read animal body language closely. I also have two kitty boys of my own and have helped care for several new litters, so I’m very comfortable with kittens and multi-cat households. At home I have a very friendly, well-socialized Australian Cattle Dog who is also my trained service animal. She has excellent manners, is welcoming around other animals, and has helped me deepen my understanding of structure, training, and positive reinforcement. I truly love animals and treat every pet like family, focusing on safety, comfort, and individualized care. I’m a small business owner, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to intentionally build pet care into my daily routine. I plan my days so I can give pets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Working with animals has always been something that fills my cup, and I’ve really missed having that regular connection with pets. Now that I’ve moved to a more populated area and have more flexibility, I’m excited to work with animals again and support my community in a way that I’m naturally good at. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I genuinely enjoy making time for. I love building trust with animals and creating a calm, positive experience for them while their owners are away. My approach to pet care is calm, attentive, and tailored to each animal’s needs and routine. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely so pets feel safe and comfortable with familiar schedules, feeding times, and boundaries. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s normal environment and keep things consistent. I provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and calm companionship. I also send updates and photos so owners feel connected and reassured. If caring for pets in my home, I create a safe and structured environment with plenty of supervision. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I prioritize slow introductions and compatibility if other animals are present. My home is pet-friendly and calm, with space to relax as well as engage in enrichment and play. Overall, I focus on safety, communication, and making sure each pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for while their family is away.
About: I have owned and loved on numerous dogs my entire life. I can never remember a time when I didn't have a tail waggin', face lickin', life long companion. No special skills here, just a heart that overflows for all dogs. I am a newly retired school district worker. My true passion has always been in taking care of animals. I don't really travel and what a better way to spend my days I have a huge fenced yard and a walking trail right behind my house that I use on a regular basis. Your furry friend will be allowed to roam wherever and sleeping on the furniture will never be a problem.
About: I've worked with many breeds of dogs. Mostly small to mid-size dogs with a variety of traits. Mostly working dogs namely Blue Heelers & Huskys. I tend to live an active lifestyle and that means hiking/walking/and lots of exercise. Rest assured both me and your pooch will be getting a good workout! In the past I've facilitated overnight lodging for dogs, and temporary stays of up to a few days. Be noted I do not currently have a large open or fenced in yard. I work with neighbors and friends pets on quite a regular basis! I regularly feed, train, walk & care for pets when away or on business! I work from home so this environment provides a perfect spot for pets to be nurtured & played with consistently! I always check prior to booking any special exercise and or dietary needs of your pet. Ensuring door remain locked when inside and timer's are set for when pets receive food upon client preference. Safety is of the upmost priority, so I will discuss a full plan and schedule so you know where you pup is and his progress while away. I will send regular check in photos to provide accountability for myself and the clients well being.
“Leah is absolutely amazing! She is such a sweetheart and loves animals. I feel so comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She is able to recognize and cater to his every need. Definitely will continue to book with her!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, and I always strive to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have a Golden Retriever and a German Shepherd mix, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds and high-energy dogs. I’ve also administered medications to my own dogs when needed and always follow care instructions carefully. Beyond caring for my own pets, I’ve looked after many friends’ and family members’ dogs while they were away. I also rescued one of my own dogs, which gave me experience helping an adult dog adjust to a new home, build confidence, and replace unwanted habits with positive behaviors through patience and consistent training. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your dog prefers a relaxing walk or an active adventure, I’ll tailor their care to their individual needs while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available most days for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. If I’m providing house sitting, I just ask for about two hours each day to care for and exercise my own dogs while my husband is at work. Outside of that, I’m committed to following your pet’s normal routine and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and any special instructions so they receive the care they’re used to. Whether we’re out on a walk or spending time at home, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, taking your dog for a walk, or house sitting, I’ll provide attentive, compassionate care while doing my best to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I’d also be happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I can’t offer any services after August! I will be moving out for college :) I’ve had dogs of my own since I was a kid. I currently have three dogs, one being a chihuahua puppy, so you can imagine the trouble they all get in. I also petsit for my neighbors two dogs and cat often! I’m currently finishing up high school in my senior year, and I’m enrolled in Running Start at Eastern Washington University, so I have a very flexible schedule. I only have one early class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and two day classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Quality time with pets is so important! Making sure hyper dogs get exercise and enrichment is a basic goal while petsitting. I also water plants, clean up, and feed pets, along with taking them on walks when requested.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I love all animals and treat them all as if they were my own! I currently do not work-so my schedule is wide open and flexible to take care of all of your pets needs. I am open to walking, dog sitting and more! I have a dog to keep your fur baby company of staying in my home. I do not have a fenced yard but like to go for walks, and in park adventures.
About: I am Suzy I grew up on a farm in a small town. I just retired from being a private hospice caregiver. I have experience with dogs, cats, cows, pigs, goats and horses. I have had my own dogs and cats and started helping more with pet sitting and dog walking for friends and family. I have an alternative medicine degree and it has helped me not only in my personal life but also with my animals lives. I am good with dogs and cats that have high energy and separation anxiety. I am loving being retired and building my pet sitting business that revolves around cuddles with cats and dogs. I started doing this because I have 3 grand pups and 1 grand cat along with 1 human grand daughter and it has brought me peace and happiness. I was lost on what I wanted to do with this part of my life. I immensely enjoy pet sitting and meeting new pet owners and pets. I am not in a position to have pets at my home. However in your home I am there to help your animal not feel alone by giving them the attention they need or what you have requested.
“Genevieve was THE BOMB watching our pup. She took lots of pictures, and clearly gave him all the love and attention he needed. She even took him home one day to play with her pups, which she of course did not have to do. Puck had a great time with her, and we would love to have her watch him again!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always had a genuine love for caring for them. I’m a responsible, dependable sitter who truly enjoys spending time with pets. Since I work part-time, I’m home most of the time and able to give your furry friends plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles. My boyfriend and I love caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and personalities, and we treat every pet like family. We always follow your specific routines and preferences, whether that means furniture rules, feeding schedules, or special care needs. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away. I also have years of experience giving medications, including administering pills. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets.
About: I started my first dog walking business in elementary school walking neighborhood dogs! I have owned dogs my entire life, taking them on regular walks. Owning a reactive dog now has made me even more patient! I have attended various dog training sessions with my reactive dog and learned more about managing dog behaviors. I’m a teacher on summer break looking for a little extra money! I’m free all week long to help get those pups some extra exercise and fun! I own 2 dogs and we have a fenced yard. Our dogs are kennel trained but roam the house freely all day and night. I have attended dog training sessions in the past to support my reactive rescue dog.
“My Shih Tzu absolutely loved Velma. He'd get so excited to see her he'd squeal. I had a foot injury and really appreciated that Velma always showed up on time and told me if my dog pooped, was scared by a cat or large dog or other things they encountered on their walk, like deer. She took really good care of my dog and I would highly recommend her to others.”
About: I have two dogs of my own who are truly my babies, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. With two years of experience working at a dog boarding kennel, as well as time at a pet vaccine clinic, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of needs. I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and aim to provide the same loving, attentive care I would want for my own pets. I work at the hospital currently but have very flexible hours and can work around almost anything that is needed as long as I know a day or two in advance if possible :) I tailor my care to each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I follow their normal schedule as closely as possible—feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any medications if needed. I make sure cats have a clean, calm environment and give them attention based on their personality, whether that’s interactive play or just quiet companionship.
About: I won't just treat them as a "pet" I treat all animals as family. I have taken care of various dog and cats from family members and friends since I was a child. This included staying over, walking, feeding, training and playing with not just dogs, also goats and chickens too! At the moment I am pursuing schooling for dog training so I have open availability for walks and drop ins! I usually ask for a days notice but it never hurts to ask. I have had experience with larger dogs (German shepherds, Great Pyerenese, Pitbulls and Saint Bernards) as well as small dogs (Chihuahua's, Shih Tzu and Dachshunds). I also provide baths and nail trimming when asked. I enjoy running too so if your looking to get your dog in shape!
About: *** I will be available in Spokane and CDA starting April 10th. Hope to talk to you all soon! I have been a housesitter and petsitter for years. I really enjoy getting to have new pet friends! I have taken care of all sorts of animals--dogs, cats, birds, lizards, hamsters, bunnies, horses, pigs, goats, chickens and even cows! I feel comfortable with pets who have medical issues, as well. I also have done a fair amount of pet massages for dogs and cats (not lizards, though!!) I have an online business, so I usually housesit and work part-time online. This makes it very easy for me to be in a home with pets who need more attention, or dogs that need walked often. I have done all levels of pet care-from simple one hour drop-in visits for cats to feeding and cleaning up for horses and cows (extra fee for that!!) So, I am very versatile with my clients! I also find that I bond easily with pets, and can often connect to shy or nervous cats and dogs by being present, calm and talking to them. I also know to leave someone alone when they just don't want to connect. I usually do lots of walks and playing together as well as simply sitting and petting and offering yummy treats!

“Crystal and Michael provided incredible care for our sweet Suzy, a 7 month old puppy who requires extra supervision. The whole family was involved with her care and they were attentive, patient, and loving. Crystal was responsive and friendly and clearly a knowledgeable dog lover and we felt confident that Suzy was in good hands. Suzy was happy, healthy, and well-looked after when we returned."”
“Leslie was outstanding with my older dog, Ginger. She took picures and sent me text messages to let me know how she was doing. So pleased with her care that I booked a second stay next month!”
“Oscar spent a few days with Heather and was clearly well looked after, relaxed and happy. The communication was great and it's always nice to receive pictures and updates—I can only recommend Heather and would happily book with her again. Cheers!”
“We dropped off Ziggy for the weekend after a visit to the vet where we left with four medications, a cone and a bloody paw. Philip didn't flinch. (He was two minutes from where I was visiting my mom, so we could have been there if anything had come up.) We didn't get a lot of updates, but we came back to a dog who seemed happy, and better yet, hadn't been chewing on his paw. Highly recommend.”
“Patricia is truly a 5-Star sitter! We really appreciate the time and attention she invested in getting acquainted with our boxer's particular needs and quirks. She was very positive and great communicating both before and during Rocky's stay. We received daily updates, both stories of his antics, or pic's of him just relaxing with the family. Clearly, they made him feel welcome. At one point during our trip, Patricia even helped us out with a minor emergency house visit. You know you've found a great pet sitter when you see an attachment has formed when you pick up your pet. We will definitely ask Patricia to care for Rocky again. Highly recommend!”
“It was our first time using the Rover App and having someone watch Roman that he wasn’t already familiar with. We were a bit nervous, but Jeniel made it all very easy! She sent photos and was really easy to communicate with throughout! Would recommend for sure!”
“Our dogs had a great weekend with Georgia and her pet family. She sent us photos and videos of our dogs throughout their stay. We will definitely use Georgia again for our pet needs. Thank you!”
“Emily is the absolute best and we so highly recommend her! We are moving out of the area and can only hope to find someone as wonderful to take in our pup when we can’t travel with her. Emily loves her guests like her own and provides updates, always assuring us our pup is well cared for and having a great time. Thank you Emily!!”
“Here’s a warm, concise Rover review: We had a great experience! She was so sweet and caring with Cocopuff and was very flexible with our travel schedule. We even forgot to pack his food, and she was incredibly accommodating and made everything easy. We felt he was in great hands and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog came home happier and more relaxed than ever after his stay—Kelly and her family showered him with love and attention the entire time. She sent the sweetest daily photo updates; we couldn’t ask for a kinder, more trustworthy person to watch our fur baby!”
“This was the first time that we had left Wilda for overnight. Lindsay and Leland made us feel comfortable and confident that managing an energetic 10 month old puppy was no problem. We are so happy that we have found such great caregivers for Wilda!”
“Carly was so kind and quick to reply to me, including sending photos and updates on his health often. She had all his things collected and ready for me when I came to pick him up. We will be seeing her again someday!”
“Our dog Sam had an amazing experience staying with Isabelle and Fred. It was short notice, and they made it an amazing experience throughout. They took such good care of him, even made him Christmas dog treats! Highly recommend”
“Ashley and Robbie did an amazing job loving our pups while we were away! They took them exploring and kept them active! I didn’t doubt for a minute that they were loving their time with this sweet family! Thank you guys so much for taking care of our boys!”
“Cheryl was amazing and was flexible for our unexpected trip in Spokane. Juniper had amazing time at Cheryl's with other wonder doggos! She sent lots of pics and updates. Juniper came home happy and tired after fun with friends. Would definitely recommend!”
“Excellent experience working with Kate! She took Juniper in for almost two weeks and I felt very comfortable with her. Flynn is adorable and they got along great”
“Brooke was so great with my pup and accommodating! We were visiting out of state and she made me feel comfortable that Goose would be just fine. She provided updates and gave a little tour of where Goose would be playing during her stay. Goose & I highly recommend Brooke!”
“Jack clearly felt right at home. It’s reassuring to see pics of your pet having fun and Tiana takes care of him amazingly well. I’d use them again in a heartbeat.”
“Milo had a great time and was taken care of exactly as his medical needs required. We appreciate the flexibility with his pickup and will certainly return if we need boarding again.”
