“Brenda took wonderful care of our dog, Zelda, during our 4 day trip. Zelda can be a finicky eater and also chews up paper, so leaving her with a caring and attentive Rover really helps us be able to travel with ease. Zelda did great under Brenda's care, and came home happy and healthy. I definitely recommend booking with Brenda and will rebook in the future! Thank you so much!”
“Our girl Rebel was so happy to and well taken care of. We got lots of photos and updates daily, it gave it peace of mind trust our baby was well taken care of and being loved.”
“My 2 year old Springer Spaniel Boxer mix, Edie, had a wonderful time with Jana and her family! When I normally leave Edie at her doggy daycare to travel, she barely eats and seems anxious when I come to pick her up. Not the case this time! Edie ate all the food I had packed for her along with all the treats! She loved running around and puppy style wrestling with Hazel! Jana gave me updates twice a day with pictures and videos of the ladies playing. I truly do believe that Edie had a dog vacay with Hazel and Jana!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog Charlie since we lost her big brother, so we were a little nervous. Kevin and Kandace were amazing and very quickly set us at ease! We loved getting pictures to regularly update us on her adventures with them, and she came home happy as can be! Will definitely be booking again in the future :)”
“This is our third time with Rachael, and our dog gets so excited when she realizes where we are when I drop her off. Rachael is so communicative and puts us at ease with pictures videos and updates. We are so grateful we found her!”
“They were so good to our dogs and gave us so many updates. They were also super communicative which was really appreciated. If the timings work out again we would trust our dogs with them in a heartbeat.”
“Audra, Andrew, and Cooper always give Bongo so much love and affection! They are wonderful sitters that treat him like their own. Their love for Bongo really shows!”
“Erin & Kevin are next level dog sitters. If you want people to watch your dog that are going to treat them with care, these are your people. I can’t tell you how much fun we have with all the photos they’ll send after taking our dog on long runs on the beach or nights playing with their fam. It means a lot to know our dog is having the time of her life while we’re traveling.”
“Tianci took good care of Bagel! I enjoyed the shared Google photo album very much as they walked Bagel around the city and kindly also took him to the treat store.”
“Seth was amazing with our dog. We have a very strong dog that has had some issues with reactivity and resource guarding. He has been through training, but isn’t perfect. Our dog really needs someone that will provide him with structure and hold firm boundaries. Seth did all that with so much care. I didn’t want my dog to impose too much on their family, so my expectations were just to give him walks and yard play time. Seth made sure he got walks, a ton of yard play, and indoor cuddles with his family. I highly recommend Seth! Thank you so much!!!!😊”
“Mimi is incredible! I was very pressed for time and anxious about finding a stranger to watch my dog after my original plans fell through for a trip. She was very responsive and a great communicator, set up a meet n greet the day I messaged her, and asked lots of great questions and I was very comfortable knowing what the plan was and that I'd be leaving my dog in good hands! She took such good care of my dog, and sent me lots of photos and updates! She was very caring as my dog was a bit unsure the first few days, and got her comfortable so quickly. She was incredibly attentive and responsive. I'd recommend Mimi to anyone!”
“Micaela agreed to watch Birdie and Violet, our two small chihuahua/terrier mix pups, for the weekend. We did a meet and greet first which was lovely and helped ensure Birdie and Violet were a good temperament and match before doing overnight boarding. Micaela is a skilled, considerate and thorough caretaker. She ensured our pups got great care and it is clear she spent time reading our Rover profile and care details (which are admittedly rather lengthy 😂). I’m glad our detailed descriptions for the dogs’ care is helpful and am so glad Micaela is such an attentive and kind sitter. She provided great updates along with photos from her time with the girls. She was even able to get our rather shy one-year-old Chihuahua to warm up to her within just a day, which is no small feat!! The pups came back from their stay very happy and with a good review! I’m so glad we met Micaela and we will absolutely look forward to working with her again in the future. Thank you, Micaela!”
“Devan was excellent with Pepper, and was extremely meticulous in his communication. We received constant text and photo updates during his stay and that’s one of the most important qualities when caring for a pet.”
“Tomas was great with Sally. Very communicative and always let me what was going on, and sent the sweetest pictures. Sally also got along really well with his pup, and they became fast friends. I will definitely book overnight stays and daycare again!”
“Debra is SUCH a sweetheart, Poppy loves her, her husband and all her toys/treats! She is a wonderful person to be around, and yes I would love to board with her again!❤️”
“Camp Matt’s was awesome.. My pups had a great week free styling with other dogs... Matt was so personable... I got a multitude of daily photos as well as really nice well wishes for the activities we were involved in for the week.. Matt will definately be our go to Rover while visiting Seattle.. If you don’t want your dog to roll with the pack, play and get a bit dirty.. he may not be for you.. but if you want your dogs to be distracted while your away and have a free play dog park experience and know that right down the street from him is a You wash Dog store for a quick clean up.. Then Matt’s the Man.. Thanks Matt for a great week!”
“Randsell was an amazing sitter. My dog was so well taken care of, monitored, and loved. I would absolutely recommend her to watch your dog. She clearly has a passion for dogs, and she is always keeping them entertained and sending photos and videos along the way. Thank you for taking such good care of her! I hope to book with Randsell again soon :-)”
“Pixel absolutely loves his time with Catherine. She is a great communicator, pays close attention to Pixel's instructions sheet, and he is always in great spirits when we get him back. Thank you!”
“Maria was amazing with my dog Comet! He had such a good time with her and her dogs! He was wagging his tail both when I dropped him off. I look forward to having him stay with her again!”
“Gregg is so kind and awesome with doggos! He was great with Leo, giving him lots of walks and time playing with the ball. Gregg shared regular updates and it was clear Leo was in a safe, fun place. Thank you!!”

“Racheal took excellent care of my cat while I was away for work. She gave him at the pets and playtime a social feline needs. She provided photos and updates and worked with my desired drop-in times. She was a breeze to work with and really eased my worries. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for quality pet-sitting services.”
“Kevin's a wonderful sitter. Our cat is pretty antisocial but she's happy to hang with Kevin and is always calm and not at all stressed when we return. Kevin's responsive to messages and attentive to details. We couldn't be more pleased with the care he provides our critter!”
“Thanks to Kelly for coming by to check on my two cats while I was away this week! They are a bit skittish but she did her best to draw them out. Would definitely book Kelly again in the future!”
“Glory is great! My cat loved her and I was so so appreciative of the last minute availability and amazing communication as well, happy to have found such a great rover nearby :)”
“I felt so at ease having Kevin check in on my two cats. They both seemed very comfortable with him, even my more timid kitty. He catered to their energetic and playful personalities, and sent great updates. I would definitely ask Kevin to come back for check ins again!”
“We’ve had lots of different Rovers over the years and Casey is definitely THE BEST Rover we have ever had. He spent so much time getting to know our cat, Gracie, and making her feel comfortable with a new caregiver. I cannot recommend him more. 12/10.”
“This was our first time leaving our cats and using Rover. Libby made the whole experience easy! She gave us great updates and took excellent care of our cats. We were nervous to be away from them but Libby quickly put our worries to rest. We will definitely be using Libby’s services again in the future!”
About: Dedicated dog lover - whether your furry companion is a playful youngster or a distinguished senior, they'll receive my full care and attention during their stay. Currently, we have no dogs, so your pup will receive plenty of one-on-one time. Our home provides a warm, comfortable environment where your dog can relax and feel safe while you're away. All guests must be potty trained. I look forward to meeting your canine companion and making their stay a tail-wagging experience they'll love! I work part-time from home, and will be available for dog walks, belly rubs and backyard excursions throughout the day. My flexible schedule ensures your pup will get plenty of exercise, affection, and outdoor time while in my care. I have a fenced yard, love taking walks with dogs - whether that's one longer walk or multiple shorter walks, whatever it is they need.
About: I love cats and have always had my own cat children. I understand the unique needs and personalities of cats and truly enjoy spending time with them. You can rest assured your furbabies are in safe, capable hands with me. I am available 7 days a week for cat sitting. I can feed your furbabies and give them attention, playtime, snuggles (if they like snuggles) take pics and send to you if you'd like. This is what I do, so your furbabies are my priorities. I live in West Seattle so am always close by.
About: I have a balanced love for both dogs and cats, and I'm equally comfortable caring for both! I bring the same dedication to reliable feeding, thorough litter box maintenance, and playtime. I really enjoy learning each cat's unique personality—whether they want to chase a laser pointer or just prefer some quiet company—and I make sure they feel completely safe and comfortable on their own terms.
“Marni boarded our cats for the second time and she was as wonderful this time as she was last time! It was very easy to communicate and book the stay, she was super responsive, and gave us regular updates and photos of the kitties while we were gone. We felt very comfortable that the cats were safe and happy in her care.”
“Susan is wonderful! Took amazing care of Rodi and even put in extra effort to clean after my messy older cat and take out the trash. I could tell my cat was comfortable with her and I would have her watch Rodi again!”
About: I’m a Flight Attendant so I am out of town too often to have my own dog, let me take care of yours! I grew up in a household full of daschunds so those are my favorites. In the past 15 years of flying I have also lived with a jack russell terrier a boxer and a Maltese. I love smaller breeds but am happy to take care of larger dogs as well. I love taking dogs for hikes on trails and also exploring new neighborhoods. A trip to a dog park is always a fun time as well. I have a few friends who travel a lot and I am the first person they always ask to be their pet sitter. I’m happy to walk your dog wherever your dog prefers or stay at your place if you need a sitter (unfortunately my apartment doesn’t allow pets). I love taking care of animals and walking them and I would be happy to care for them any time that I am not working I am not allowed to have pets in my apartment but I’m happy to babysit at your home. I will take care of your dog(s) however you like me too.
“Yeji was great! Her updates and pictures from check-ins were the highlight of my day. It was very reassuring to see that my kittyboy getting some love while I was away. Definitely a great experience!”
“Lauren was the best sitter I have ever had here on Rover. She was always quick to respond with any questions or concerns. She also took the time to really learn about the automatic feeders that use for our cats. She really made it easy for me to relax on vacation instead of worrying. My husband and I came home to a clean home and happy kitties.”
About: I've had cats all my life, and have been with some of them all the way from kittenhood through their senior years. I've always had a passion for all things cat, and pride myself on being fluent in "cat language". I'll happily give even the shyest or most skittish of cats the calmest atmosphere I possibly can.

“Mimi took our Billie for a half day and socialized her with a few other shy pups she was watching at the same time. She was very accommodating when we were late picking her up due to traffic and our typically anti-social dog came home happy after making some friends. :)”
“Tomas took very good care of Evie, he gave her a lot of attention and really spoiled her. Evie had a great time , got along well with Karma and both respected each others space. Tomas made sure Evie had lots of playtime, treats and snuggles. Evie can’t wait to see Tomas & Karma again!”
“This is my second 5-star review after several bookings with Jana. After Summer's first stay, I wrote about how patiently Jana and her family earned the trust of my very apprehensive little dog. Many stays later, I can say they gave her something even more wonderful: confidence and a genuine second family. Summer became completely at home with Jana, Tim and their children—hanging out in their rooms, playing outside, and even walking all the way around the block with Tim. By our last pickup, she seemed more interested in what their son was up to than leaving with me! What began as an urgent need for a safe place during work on our house became such a special connection for both Summer and me. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found this wonderful family.”
“Absolutely loved our experience! Matt took such great care of my dog and kept me updated with tons of sweet photos throughout the day. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: After losing my beautiful 11 year old Bernese, Indie, caring for other dogs is my way of honoring the love that I lost. I provide a quiet home with a fenced yard, daily walks, playtime, and lots of love. You get peace of mind. Your dog gets comfort, stability, fun and attention. You can travel worry-free, knowing your dog will be in great hands. I work from home Monday through Friday so I’m always available to keep your dog company and to go for walks. I typically walk each dog 2-3x daily. I have a fenced yard and live a block from the beach near Alki point. I can only accept dog non-aggressive dogs without major separation anxiety issues.
“Marni was great! Easy communication, friendly, knowledgeable, a great listener. I was comfortable leaving my dog with her and my trust was well placed. When I picked up my dog he was happy, silly, and his usual self. Just like I left him. Thank you Marni!”
“Maria was wonderful with my senior dog! She was great at communicating and was so thoughtful with how to make my dog as comfortable as possible in her home. Will definitely work with Maria again!”
“Ollie always has the best time with Beau and Mellow! We feel so comfortable sending our boy to Beau's and he comes back happy, healthy and tired from playing, every time!”
About: I have been a dog parent for 3 years now and am trying to spend more time taking care of dogs and cats in my spare time. I'm currently working part time and since I work from home, I have plenty of flexibility with my schedule to walk dogs, do home visits and board your beloved pet. I live in an apartment complex that is right next to Hiawatha Playfield and if your dog loves walking in the parks, this is an amazing park that my dog Oliver loves visiting every day.
“Niko loves going here and they take such good care of him! He pulls to the door in excitement and that’s the best sign that there can be to show how good they are to him ! They send me his pictures and keep me updated on what he’s doing throughout the day. Pick up and drop off has been extremely smooth- even at times that I need to drop him off extremely early. Both Lorrie and Andrew were extremely accommodating!”
“Samantha took our sweet puppy when we needed a sitter last minute. Cosmo came home so happy and tired out from the fun day he had. I received updates that were appreciated and even a photo of our dog SMILING with his new friends. Thanks again for everything!”
“We were grateful for Kelly’s flexibility and willingness to watch our dog on New Year’s Day while my husband and I worked 12hr shifts. Buster was one tired, happy puppy after playing all day with his new pup friends. Thank you again, Kelly!”
About: I offer a highly attentive, adaptive, and active environment for your dog, backed by over nine years of dedicated, hands-on experience. Raising my own dog, Toby, gave me a deep understanding of complex canine needs. He was reactive, which taught me how to read body language, advocate for a dog's space, and safely manage environments so he could still enjoy a life full of hiking and cross-country adventures. As he aged, I gained extensive experience in senior care, navigating his slowed pace and confidently managing canine epilepsy, including precise medication administration. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have a long history of pet sitting for family and friends. Whether your dog is an active adventurer who wants to hit the trails or a senior who prefers a quiet day on the couch, I tailor my care to their specific pace and personality. What Sets Me Apart: - Proximity to Alki Beach & Trails: We love taking dogs on outings to nearby Alki Beach or local hikes, making us a great fit for high-energy dogs who thrive outdoors. - Deep Respect for Boundaries: Because of my experience with a reactive dog, I never force interactions. If your dog is anxious, selective, or uncomfortable in crowded spaces, I strictly respect their boundaries and keep them in environments where they feel safe. Full-Time, Double-Coverage Remote Care: Both my husband and I work from home full-time. Your dog will never be left alone for long stretches, and our schedule allows for flexible potty breaks, frequent walks, and constant companionship. We are a true dog-loving family with a safe, secure home environment designed to give you complete peace of mind while you are away. We no longer have a dog at home so your best friend will be the sole animal in the home. We live in a townhome with a small, unfenced patio area.
“Clarissa and Yasiel took great care of Pickles! He's had some separation anxiety lately but he settled in just fine. They kept me updated throughout the day and sent cute photos. We will rebook!”
About: I got my first pup when I turned 11 and have cared for them ever since, going on 14 years of owning a pet. Both dogs and cats! I enjoy interacting with pets and making them feel special on walkies or just hanging out with them. I currently run a small business so I am able to set my own hours and attend to other things such as walking or caring for your pet. I have a fenced in yard and three fur children in my household. Two dogs and a cat. I can also crate if needed for your pet.
“I've recently relocated to Seattle for work, and while waiting for my residence to become available, I needed assistance with watching my dog, Fat Boi, during business hours. I connected with Keith, and he's been such a great help! Fat Boi is shy and very attached to me, he's prone to getting a little depressed when we aren't together, but Keith helps to enrich his days and gives him some extra socialization. Fat Boi gets to people watch out from the balcony, and go on walks to see the water, and enjoys some great snacks while hanging out with Keith! I'm grateful that he's been there to look after Fat Boi and give him attention while I'm at work. I'm a long way from home, and so is Fat Boi, and it's one less source of stress in this huge transition to have the peace of mind that my little fuzzy guy is being thoughtfully taken care of until we are reunited at the end of the day.”
“Devan was awesome! Great communication and a natural at connecting with dogs and keeping them engaged. Benji did not want to leave! We hope to see Devan again!”
About: Going to give them all the love and care ❤️ like I do for my own pup, I have a frenchie as well who gets along with other dogs so there is a play buddy. Can handle 2 dogs,and they are welcome to be couch potatoes with my dog.😊 Due to us staying in an apartment I cannot accept big dogs at the moment. In my daily routine as a Rover sitter with a hybrid work schedule, I prioritize the well-being of the pets under my care at all times. Mornings typically involve feeding, walks, and playtime to ensure the pets start their day on a positive note. During my hybrid work hours, I make arrangements to guarantee the pets' needs are met, whether it's through midday check-ins, the presence of a trusted individual, or independence if they're comfortable being alone. Post work, I dedicate quality time for additional walks, feeding, and companionship. On days when I work from home, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my work schedule, providing them the attention they deserve throughout the day. Weekends are dedicated to extended and leisurely activities with the pets, ensuring they receive ample love and care. I am committed to maintaining a flexible schedule, accommodating last-minute bookings, and addressing any specific requirements or considerations for the well-being of the pets in my care. I live in an apartment so it's very safe. The area we live in is also extremely safe and makes for very pleasant walks. 😊 I have left our dog in daycares before only for him to come back with one problem or the other, so I understand the concern pet parents can have. I will love your pup as my own.

About: From energetic puppies requiring constant supervision and socialization to senior dogs needing gentle, specialized care, I have successfully owned and cared for dogs at every stage of life. My comprehensive approach includes maintaining feeding schedules, administering medications as needed and providing appropriate exercise based on age and ability. Of course companionship and attention that keeps dogs happy and stress-free is the main goal. Whether your furry friend is a playful young pup who needs active engagement and training reinforcement, an adult dog requiring reliable routine maintenance, or an elderly companion needing extra patience and comfort, I adapt my care style to meet their specific needs. I'm a stay-at-home dad, available throughout the day to give your furry friend(s) attention & routine walks to provide the personalized attention they need to feel happy and comfortable. Our home features a fully fenced yard, and we can easily adapt our living space to suit your dog's specific needs. Senior dogs who struggle with stairs can enjoy our spacious main floor area, with direct outdoor access via just a few easy steps. Puppies still working on house training can stay in our dedicated tiled room, which can be safely sectioned off, while nervous or skittish dogs can have their own quiet, comfortable space to feel secure.
“Matt is a dog whisperer! He did a fantastic job walking our 75-pound pit mix, Rosie, for an hour each morning for 8 days. He was very punctual, great at dealing with Rosie’s habit of scrounging for food and her dog reactivity. He also took the sweetest photos for Rosie’s walk report cards. We will absolutely book Matt again!!”
“Jenae was great with my dogs. Both my 15 year old senior dog and 8 month old puppy were well cared for and had fun with Jenae while I was at work. I’d recommend booking with Jenae for your pet care needs. Thank you for your help! 🙂”
About: Pets have always been my saving grace navigating through life. I don’t cry at funerals, but when my late bulldog passed the only thing that got me through was his little sister, Connie - my little girl English Bulldog. I currently have a full time job (fly fishing industry) and am available mornings and evenings everyday, with mondays and Tuesday being open all day and night. I have one young olde English Bulldog named Connie, she’s a lover and very affectionate. We live on the beach down on Alki in a small studio. She’s my entire world, comes to work with me occasionally but prefers to lounge and nap most of the time (she’s a bulldog after all…)
“Katie was amazing! Always let me know if she was running a few min late. My dogs loved her, and she handled them well (they're strong pullers). Very positive attitude, even when the rain was just bucketing down! Would definitely recommend, and will use her again next time I need a dog walker :-)”

“I needed a last minute walker and Christina responded instantly! We met for a quick meet and greet and she was very thoughtful and asked questions to get to know Nova and her routine. Christina sent some very cute pictures from their walk and even practiced some training calls with Nova and made sure to feed her dinner before leaving. She was amazing and I would 1000% book her again!! Thank you, Christina!”
“Alyssa is quickly becoming Rowdy’s favorite… I know because he does his little howl every time he sees her! He loves spending time with her and he came back from his walk exhausted! Alyssa is a godsend, making my crazy life easier!!! 😍”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. Growing up, I had three dogs of my own, and caring for them taught me how much love, patience, and attention they need. I now work around dogs most of the time, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life! I love being with dogs of all shapes sizes and personalities! I will bring upbeat, energy for puppies and low chill days for all of our older dog friends. Growing up I’ve always helped train our dogs to sit lay down roll over and potty train properly in my entire lifetime. I have had four dogs. I have had a Pomeranian a teacup Chihuahua a golden retriever and I currently have a chocolate lab I’ve given them all love and taking care of them and love them as much as I could, and now I want to love on your pup! I am currently only attending college around 2 to 3 days a week so I am pretty open any of the other days to take care of your pups! I have one dog who is six years old. I have a large fenced in backyard and I live in a very large neighborhood where I can walk dogs and take them to leashed parks.
About: I am the one at the party hanging out with the dog/cat instead of the people…probably because I grew up with lots of cats and dogs (foster and forever home). I volunteer at the shelter as a dog walker several days a week. Between the shelter animals and my pup, Isla (11 y/o), I am especially experienced with reactive/anxious or shy animals. I was raised with a large variety of animals around constantly, as my father was a vet who worked with both domestic and exotic species, so I learned a lot, including being very comfortable giving medications. I have also been raising my own dogs since middle school and have roughly 12 years of experience watching other people's animals. I currently work freelance from home and I don't have any other obligations that aren't flexible. I have plenty of time to hang with your pets for as long as they/you need. I offer drop ins for potty breaks and playtime, as well as dog walks. Walks would vary based on the pets needs, but I am fully willing to accommodate most requests while giving walks. I volunteer regularly at the shelter and have experience handling pets with high anxiety.
“Lauren is very professional and conscientious. She has a lot of experience and comes prepared with all the dog walking essentials. She is responsive and leaves great reports after each walk that let me know my pup is cared for when I’m at work. I highly recommend her services!!”
About: I’ve been loving and caring for animals for as long as I can remember. My oldest cat is 18 and was the very first pet I brought home on my own. We’ve been through so many of life’s ups and downs together, and along the way, we’ve welcomed more furry family members into our life. Each one has taught us something new—especially about the wide range of cattitudes and unique personalities we can all have. It’s always been important to me that my pets feel loved and safe, even when I’m not right there with them. I want your pets to feel that same love and comfort when you’re away, too. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle and routine, making pet sitting a perfect extension of how I live day to day. I work in healthcare operations in a flexible hybrid role, which allows me to adapt my schedule based on the needs of the pets I’m caring for. When I’m booked, I stay in the pet’s home to keep their environment as comfortable and familiar as possible—something I’ve found really helps them feel safe and relaxed while their people are away. I’m based in West Seattle and love spending my time walking or running around our beautiful neighborhood—anywhere from 4 to 13 miles a day—so active dogs especially enjoy staying on the move with me. I’m an explorer at heart, and having a furry companion by my side just makes every outing that much better. I am a quiet solo cat mom who cherishes every opportunity to spend time with animals and let them feel loved when their main squeeze is away. I strive to keep a pets routine the same as it always is to not add to the stress of their already missing you, even if they don’t want to admit it.
About: Hi, I'm Stella! My legal name (which Rover requires me to display) is Leigh, but in day-to-day interactions I prefer to go by Stella. :) Although I've been a cat person all my life, I've also always loved dogs. Recently my family members have been adopting dogs into their various collections of pets, including a Manchester terrier who has decided I'm his second favorite person (besides my mom, and I can't blame him there!). I've absolutely loved the opportunity to care for him when my parents travel a few times a year, and will absolutely bring that same level of enthusiasm to caring for your pup! I'm primarily self employed, as well as doing gig work, so I have a lot of flexibility to give your pet the care they need on a schedule that works for you! I'm most often available on weekdays, as the gigs I do usually fall on weekends. I'm very interested in learning your pet's personality, and taking the time needed to get them comfortable with me. I'm particularly good at "cat language", but am dedicated to learning "dog language" as well. I'd also love to hear from you about your pet's likes, dislikes, preferences, and anything else I should know to give them the best experience possible!
“Saghar is fantastic! She’s great with my pup and kitty, knowkedable and kind, but also highly engaging with me as a pet-owner. She helped me troubleshoot my cat’s litter box issues and resolve them. I trust her completely and feel very relaxed knowing she is doing the best for my fur-babies at all times. I highly recommend her!!”
“Anthony started walking my dog Gloria a few days ago and she [already] absolutely loves him. He does a great job sending pics and writing a report card on Rover about how the walk went. He is very reliable and shows up on time.”

“Our girl Rebel was so happy to and well taken care of. We got lots of photos and updates daily, it gave it peace of mind trust our baby was well taken care of and being loved.”
“My 2 year old Springer Spaniel Boxer mix, Edie, had a wonderful time with Jana and her family! When I normally leave Edie at her doggy daycare to travel, she barely eats and seems anxious when I come to pick her up. Not the case this time! Edie ate all the food I had packed for her along with all the treats! She loved running around and puppy style wrestling with Hazel! Jana gave me updates twice a day with pictures and videos of the ladies playing. I truly do believe that Edie had a dog vacay with Hazel and Jana!”
“Audra, Andrew, and Cooper always give Bongo so much love and affection! They are wonderful sitters that treat him like their own. Their love for Bongo really shows!”
“Erin & Kevin are next level dog sitters. If you want people to watch your dog that are going to treat them with care, these are your people. I can’t tell you how much fun we have with all the photos they’ll send after taking our dog on long runs on the beach or nights playing with their fam. It means a lot to know our dog is having the time of her life while we’re traveling.”
“Seth was amazing with our dog. We have a very strong dog that has had some issues with reactivity and resource guarding. He has been through training, but isn’t perfect. Our dog really needs someone that will provide him with structure and hold firm boundaries. Seth did all that with so much care. I didn’t want my dog to impose too much on their family, so my expectations were just to give him walks and yard play time. Seth made sure he got walks, a ton of yard play, and indoor cuddles with his family. I highly recommend Seth! Thank you so much!!!!😊”
“Micaela agreed to watch Birdie and Violet, our two small chihuahua/terrier mix pups, for the weekend. We did a meet and greet first which was lovely and helped ensure Birdie and Violet were a good temperament and match before doing overnight boarding. Micaela is a skilled, considerate and thorough caretaker. She ensured our pups got great care and it is clear she spent time reading our Rover profile and care details (which are admittedly rather lengthy 😂). I’m glad our detailed descriptions for the dogs’ care is helpful and am so glad Micaela is such an attentive and kind sitter. She provided great updates along with photos from her time with the girls. She was even able to get our rather shy one-year-old Chihuahua to warm up to her within just a day, which is no small feat!! The pups came back from their stay very happy and with a good review! I’m so glad we met Micaela and we will absolutely look forward to working with her again in the future. Thank you, Micaela!”
“Tomas was great with Sally. Very communicative and always let me what was going on, and sent the sweetest pictures. Sally also got along really well with his pup, and they became fast friends. I will definitely book overnight stays and daycare again!”
“Camp Matt’s was awesome.. My pups had a great week free styling with other dogs... Matt was so personable... I got a multitude of daily photos as well as really nice well wishes for the activities we were involved in for the week.. Matt will definately be our go to Rover while visiting Seattle.. If you don’t want your dog to roll with the pack, play and get a bit dirty.. he may not be for you.. but if you want your dogs to be distracted while your away and have a free play dog park experience and know that right down the street from him is a You wash Dog store for a quick clean up.. Then Matt’s the Man.. Thanks Matt for a great week!”
“Randsell was an amazing sitter. My dog was so well taken care of, monitored, and loved. I would absolutely recommend her to watch your dog. She clearly has a passion for dogs, and she is always keeping them entertained and sending photos and videos along the way. Thank you for taking such good care of her! I hope to book with Randsell again soon :-)”
“Pixel absolutely loves his time with Catherine. She is a great communicator, pays close attention to Pixel's instructions sheet, and he is always in great spirits when we get him back. Thank you!”
“Gregg is so kind and awesome with doggos! He was great with Leo, giving him lots of walks and time playing with the ball. Gregg shared regular updates and it was clear Leo was in a safe, fun place. Thank you!!”
“Jessica is the most fantastic sitter, and we feel so safe and secure knowing our pup is in such good care while we are away. We love the constant updates we get and all of the video and photo updates make us so happy.”
“We absolutely cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Lorrie and Andrew. They are responsible, proactive, and thoughtful. Throughout the weekend we got the sweetest updates about Fran and her adventures with Maisy (who is the sweetest pup and such a great buddy to our dog!) We have no doubt that our dog had the best visit ever!!! When our flight was suddenly cancelled, Lorrie and Andrew didn’t hesitate to help us make sure that our dog was in great hands while we scrambled to get back home. We are forever so grateful for them, and really looking forward to working with them again!”
“Michael was an amazing sitter for my dog and communicator for me!! We had a last minute schedule change and were traveling to Seattle unexpectedly. Michael was so helpful and accommodating to make this work with less notice than usual! He was prompt and communicative sending me pictures of Sox updates along the way. His dog Ellie was very chill and seemed to get along with Sox great. I definitely would (and will!) work with Michael again!”
“This was my first time boarding Nico with Ana. Our meet and greet went very well. Ana is kind, friendly, and asked plenty of questions about Nico’s needs and preferences. I left feeling very comfortable moving forward with the booking. Nico was so well cared for while staying with Ana. Not only does she care deeply for animals, she understands how it must feel to leave your pet with someone else. She was very quick to reply to any messages and sent lots of updates and photos while we were away. Great communication and I would 100% recommend Ana as a fantastic pet sitter! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ll definitely have Nico stay with Ana again in the future.”
“Millie had another fantastic sleep away camp experience with Nikko and co. She truly did not want to leave at the end! The videos and photos we always receive makes me 100% confident that she is so loved during her time with Maria and Kalyan. And she LOVES Nikko and all the other daycare visitors she gets to meet. A big thank you as always!”
“We had a last minute change of plans, and Kevin was super understanding. We’ll definitely use Kevin’s services next time we need a place for Ozzy to stay when we travel.”
“Pramukh is an excellent communicator and was flexible with drop-off / pick-up times. He sent daily status reports with multiple pictures; I felt assured my BFF was in good hands and cared for.”
“My dogs were cared for in a very professional manager. Sena and her son take care of the dogs together. I left my two pit bulls with them and they had the comfort of their own room for the duration of the booking. I received frequent updates on the status of my dogs and pics and videos. I was glad to get back to them but had no problem leaving them in her care! Highly recommend.”
“Allison was so great with my dog. I could tell my dog had a good time with her. I received a lot of photos so I felt good about leaving Zeta with her and will definitely book again :)”
