So grateful for honest and kind people like Philip who will treat your pet as their own family member. Charlie is the happiest I’ve ever seen him, truly.”

She squeezed in a pre stay introduction for the dogs, then took amazing care of Obi over the three days.

Outstanding sitter, would book again without hesitation.”

She managed to wrangle our indoor/outdoor crew like a pro while we were away, making sure everyone was accounted for and cared for. That is no small feat with our bunch. She’s responsible, kind, and genuinely trustworthy, and it showed in the way she took care of the kitties and our house. We will definitely book her again.”
“Elizabeth took amazing care of my cats Louie and Gigi while I was away! From the moment we first connected she was kind, responsive, and clearly experienced with animals.

I’ll definitely be booking with Elizabeth again, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, warm, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Margaret is fantastic. I had a week long trip in Mexico and she made sure my cat was taken care of. Margaret is prompt, followed instructions and is super friendly. It was fun to see the pictures over the week as my cat warmed up to her. Margaret is patient and didn’t force connection with my cat, which is important to me. Her attention to detail is great. Extremely reliable, personable and kind. I will absolutely book her again! Thanks so much Margaret. You helped make my vacation stress free and gave me peace of mind knowing my baby was in good hands ? Thank you.”
“Olena was great with our cats! We reached out to her very last minute, but she responded quickly and made herself available for a Meet and Greet before we had to leave on our trip.

“Roman was a great cat sitter. He played with him, made sure his water bowl was full, and sent updates and pictures every day. My cat also seems to have really liked his company! It was so nice to have peace of mind while I was gone. Thank you!!”

About: Hi! I’m Samira (Sam), and I provide a safe, loving, and active home for dogs while their owners are away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your pup gets plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. They’ll go on 2–3 walks a day, and I’ll send you plenty of photos and updates! We have a large fenced outdoor area, and daily walks, playtime, and exercise are part of our routine. I have a sweet 3-year-old Australian Shepherd named Sailor, who I’ve had since he was a puppy. He loves other dogs and people and is always excited to have a new friend around! I also have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks and playing fetch or prefers lounging on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away. I have a very flexible work schedule during the week, which allows me to provide frequent dog walks and potty breaks. I also currently have an active dog, so caring for another animal is easy for me since I already follow a consistent routine with him. I follow the instructions you leave me and take that seriously. Reactive dogs are not a good match for me, I’m so sorry, and they must get along with my dog. Let’s link up and have the pups meet and go over your dog needs!
“Pablo and Patricia were amazing! They were able to watch Bear on very short notice, were super kind and communicative, and took great care of him. I really appreciate them helping out last minute. Thank you both!”
“Andy is so amazing! She is always so positive when she greets me at pick up and drop off. She was able to start watching my dog Obi on a short notice when my pet care method changed suddenly. She was accommodating and flexible with the hours based on my needs. She informs me of any changes in his health or behavior. She also tried multiple methods to make my anxious pup more comfortable with his separation anxiety. My dog absolutely loves her and I am so happy that I have her as a resource for my pet care needs. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Felix was lovely to work with and took great care of our dog Reign! We received regular updates, photos, and videos and felt comfortable with Reign’s introduction and play time with Felix’s dog, Mabel. We definitely hope to work with Felix again in the future and would highly recommend his care!”
“Needed a sitter for an afternoon for my curmudgeonly senior pup. Devan was fantastic- warm, welcoming, responsive, and responsible. Fang had a good time, and we will definitely request Devan’s pup-sitting services again!”
About: I may be new to Rover, but I’m far from new to caring for dogs. I’ve spent years looking after my own pup and pet sitting for friends and family, all out of a genuine love for animals. For me, this isn’t a side hustle; it’s something I truly enjoy. I have a Shih Tzu of my own named Cooper, who is my whole world. When it comes to walks, I’m a firm believer in dog-centered outings. Want to sprint? Let’s go. Need five minutes to thoroughly investigate that one bush? Take your time. We move at your dog’s pace, in your dog’s direction, because that’s what makes a walk genuinely enriching, not just exercise. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I’ll treat them exactly like I treat Cooper, like family. You can expect regular photo updates if I’m watching your pup, I know firsthand how hard it is to be away from your baby and how it can put a damper on your trip thinking about them missing you. I work from home full-time, which means your pet gets attention throughout the entire day, not just before and after a 9-to-5. No long stretches alone, no waiting until evening for a walk. I’m based in Lower Queen Anne and live in a cozy apartment with my boyfriend and our Shih Tzu Cooper. No children, no yard, but don’t let that last part worry you. Cooper and I do at least one 2.5-mile walk every day, and if I’m watching your dog, they can expect the same. Queen Anne has wonderful walkable streets and green spaces, so there’s plenty to explore.
“Mariia was great! This was our first time leaving Zoey with her and after meeting her, we felt so reassured that Zoey would be safe and happy. We got lots of pics and Zoey looked like she was having a great time! We will definitely be booking with Mariia again :)”
About: Growing up with different kinds of pets(dogs, cats,birds,turtles,goldfish,rabbits,hamsters…) throughout 30 years of my life, I can’t imagine a minute without pets.And that’s the reason why I started my career as a pet groomer 13 years ago.

“Zhongni was reliable, attentive, and took great care in creating a fun and comfortable space for Benji. I appreciated the walks and photo updates. Benji was sad to leave! We hope to see Zhongni again soon!”
About: Farm kid from Pennsylvania here! I grew up taking care of everything from dogs and cats to piglet runts, cows, chickens, and yes — a pet raccoon. If it had fur, feathers, or a heartbeat, I was probably looking after it. Your pet's in experienced (and genuinely animal-obsessed) hands. I'm currently between design contracts, so I have plenty of flexible time — perfect for daily play, drop-in sits, or extended boarding whenever your cat needs me. In my home, my responsible, loving 8-year-old happily plays with visiting pets. I keep cats safely indoors, offer healthy treats, and give them affection and attention all day.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I understand that every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I currently have a 6-year-old Australian Shepherd, whom I've raised since she was 8 weeks old, as well as two cats. My Australian Shepherd is spayed and friendly with both dogs and cats, making her a great companion for visiting pets. Growing up, I also cared for a variety of animals, including dogs, chickens, a parrot, rabbits, turtles, and hamsters, which has given me experience with many different personalities and care needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've pet sat for friends' dogs and puppies. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or relaxing at home, I'll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they need. I also have experience administering oral medications and am happy to accommodate puppies who need extra potty breaks, structure, or a little more patience. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I'll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I’m currently studying for my pharmacist state board exam, which allows me to spend most of my fine at home and provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to maintain your pet’s normal routine including regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals and any medications they may need. I prioritize creating a safe and welcoming environment for every pet. While I do not have a yard, I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with plenty of opportunities for daily walks, exercise, and enrichment. I have a friendly social Australian Shepherd who enjoys being around both dogs and cats. I also have a crate for my dog if needed to help create a calm environment, provide personal space, or allow pets to have a comfortable adjustment period. I always supervise interactions and make sure each pet feels safe.
About: I love dogs! Happy to take care of walking, feeding, giving all the back rubs and tummy scratches that your furry best friend wants and needs! I’m currently working remote in Seattle where I have all the free time and would love to help you and your furry friend out + potentially me some exercise haha!! I care for pets in my home by making sure they have a comfy place to hangout and play with whatever toys are provided. I will walk the dog at the park right next to my house and feed them at the requested times. At the client’s home, I will follow all required instructions and play with your dog as much as they’ll let me!!
“Ponyo is an amazing dog sitter. She sent me numerous pictures and updates throughout the day. There was no doubt our dogs were being well cared for by her family.”
“Emily did great with caring for Milo for a few hours. He got play time and a walk and she helped to reinforce training ❤️ Would happily leave Milo in her care again”

“Maria was great! She showed up on time every day and sent photos and updates of my dog's walks. He looked happy, and I'm glad he got to get outside during my work day. I'll definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I took care of my family dog for 14 years up until last year when he passed away. I am looking to spend more time with dogs and love being around animals, so would love to help in any way I can - whether that's going on walks or pet / house sitting. My job is very flexible so I am available most times during the week and any times on the weekends. I can work around most schedules. I am respectful to any rules the owners set out ahead of time, and will only be in the pet's space as much as the owners would prefer.
“Roman is very conscientious, consistent, and capable as a dog walker, and my pup really enjoys the walks that Roman takes him on. I’ve been very fortunate to have Roman taking care of morning walks while I recover from ankle surgery.”

About: My husband and I live in North Capitol Hill with our Malinois and German Shepherd. As the owner of a dog I trust with very few people, I understand how stressful it can be to hand someone else the leash or access to your home. My goal is to work closely with you, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure your pet is treated with patience, attention, respect, and genuine affection. My strongest experience is with large, intelligent, high-energy dogs. I have raised both of my dogs from puppyhood: a German Shepherd and an 85-pound rescue Belgian Malinois with anxiety and reactivity. Caring for dogs who are strong, athletic, sensitive, and constantly thinking has taught me patience, consistency, calm handling, and how to anticipate problems before they happen. I regularly walk both dogs together, managing nearly 200 pounds of energy, strength, and occasional squirrel chasing. On walks, I am fully present and not distracted by my phone. I continually monitor for approaching dogs, traffic, cyclists, tight spaces, environmental triggers, and safe alternate routes. I understand that responsible handling often means preventing a difficult situation instead of waiting until one has already developed. That same awareness carries into the home. I am used to dogs who can open doors, get past barriers, jump onto counters, move large objects such as trash cans, and reach hazards that many people would never anticipate. I carefully check for medications, food, trash, unsecured doors, and anything else a curious or determined pet might access. With smart dogs, the smallest overlooked detail can quickly become a much larger problem. My experience also includes: • Puppies, including house-training routines, frequent potty breaks, consistency, and managing chewing or mischievous behavior • Senior dogs who may require a slower pace, extra patience, mobility accommodations, or closer observation • Anxious and reactive dogs who benefit from structure, space, calm communication, and predictable routines • Cats, including feeding, litter-box care, play, companionship, and following each cat’s preferred level of interaction I do not assume that experience with my own pets means I automatically understand yours. Every animal has different routines, triggers, boundaries, medical needs, and quirks. I welcome detailed instructions and honest information about behavior, anxiety, reactivity, past incidents, or anything I should avoid. That information does not intimidate me. It allows me to provide safer and more confident care. My schedule is flexible because I do not work a traditional nine-to-five job. I am currently on summer break while finishing my degree in interior design, and I can accommodate weekday and weekend walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and recurring care depending on location and timing. When school resumes, most of my time will be spent working independently on my capstone project, with only a few scheduled classes each week. I expect to maintain substantial flexibility throughout the academic year and am interested in building long-term relationships with recurring clients. I keep my Rover calendar current and only accept bookings I know I can reliably fulfill. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and take time to understand their pet’s routine, boundaries, health needs, and home setup. In a client’s home, I pay close attention to doors, gates, food, medications, trash, cleaning products, and anything a curious or determined pet could reach. Before leaving, I confirm that the home is secure and that each pet has fresh water, access to the correct areas, and a comfortable environment. During walks, I stay off my phone and remain aware of approaching dogs, traffic, cyclists, narrow sidewalks, and possible triggers. I avoid unnecessary interactions with unfamiliar dogs, adjust the route when needed, and use the equipment and handling methods provided by the owner. I do not take dogs off leash unless we are in a fully enclosed area and the owner has specifically approved it. Trust also means communication. I provide clear updates and will contact you if I notice anything unusual, including changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or bathroom habits. I would rather ask a question than make an assumption. I also have a large SUV and reliable transportation. If urgent veterinary care is ever necessary, I can safely transport dogs of various sizes, follow the owner’s emergency instructions, and keep them informed throughout.
“Sebastian is great! He accommodated a very fast request to do a meet and greet and walk our older dogs. He was really communicative and timely, and we felt totally comfortable with him taking care of our pups. We're glad we found him and have recommended him to friends preparing for a new pup as well.”
“Elizabeth has been such a great dog walker for my pup Mila! She sends me the best updates throughout the walks and I feel great knowing that she’s taking good care of my girl. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a walker 😊”
“Anessa is so friendly and easy to work with! Our dog Audrey adored her evening walks with her. Will definitely rebook the next time I have a business trip and need help with evening walks.”
About: I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs through regular pet sitting and dog walking, including spending a lot of time with dogs I’ve grown close to over the years. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I enjoy taking the time to build trust with each animal I look after. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, giving pets attention and companionship, and keeping owners updated so they can feel confident while they’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and prioritize making sure they feel cared for Im currently out of school for the summer, so I have plenty of time to be flexible. I’m always easy to change plans with too. I am great at following instructions whether it’s feeding, walking, crating, or caring for a disabled pet. I will treat your pet with respect keep them out of harms way during walks or stays.
“Aly has done an amazing job with my dogs, especially considering my boy can be a bit prickly with new people. I will continue to use Aly’s services and am grateful to have found her!”

“We are so lucky to have found Biancana on Rover! She was amazing and so sweet with our Clancy. She texted us upon her arrival and departure and texted pictures during their outdoor walk adventure. She is sweet, caring and very attentative to our needs/desires for our dog. We will most surely be using her again and recommend her as an A++++ for your needs! We simply can’t thank you enough, Biancana! ~ Clancy, Anna and Grant”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I grew up surrounded by both cats and dogs, caring for them daily—feeding, playing, and learning to understand their unique personalities. My Chihuahua gave birth to 5 adorable puppies 2 years ago, and I took on the full responsibility of raising and training them. From nighttime feedings to early socialization and basic commands, I experienced firsthand what it takes to care for pets with patience, love, and consistency. Whether it’s a playful pup or a shy senior pet, I treat every animal as if they were my own—with love, safety, and attention to detail. I’d be honored to care for your furry family member and keep you updated with photos, videos, and tail-wagging stories while you’re away! My schedule allows pet sitting before 7:30 AM and after 6:00 PM on weekdays, with open availability on weekends for extra attention, playtime and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their usual routine to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I respect the home, provide regular updates, and make sure everything is clean and secure when I leave. Whether it’s feeding, play, litter box cleaning, or medication, I’m thorough and reliable in all aspects of care.

She was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly understood their personalities. One of our dogs can be slow to warm up, but he became comfortable with her so quickly, which meant a lot to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”
“Carolyn is a fantastic dog sitter, she sent a lot of updates and pictures of our corgi throughout the week. She took really good care of our dog, we would definitely recommend her services!”
“Emily is INCREDIBLE! She took amazing care of my dog, went above and beyond to help with her allergies and leash anxiety, and was kind & understanding when my pick-up flight got delayed. She sent lots of updates and Wren looked so content, she truly took care of her like she was her own. They went hiking (which is not always an easy feat with Wren!), got lots of play time with Emily’s dog, and cuddled all weekend. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a pup’s home away from home!”
“Michelle is the go-to dog sitter we have been looking for — truly a dream come true! From the moment we dropped off Elsa, we felt completely at ease. Michelle sent regular updates with adorable photos and thoughtful notes about Elsa’s behavior, friendships with the other dogs, and even Elsa’s clever AC placement strategy (smart girl 😅). Elsa clearly felt right at home, lounging with her new pup pals, sharing the couch, playing with toys, and enjoying her favorite treats. Michelle handled it all with so much care, intuition, and joy. She created such a warm and peaceful environment for the dogs — complete with cozy rest time, play breaks, and weather-appropriate accommodations. I could tell Elsa was relaxed, happy, and thriving the entire stay. I would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone looking for an attentive, compassionate, and truly delightful sitter. Elsa can’t wait to visit again. Thank you for loving her like your own 💛🐾”
About: Hi! I’m Samira (Sam), and I provide a safe, loving, and active home for dogs while their owners are away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your pup gets plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. They’ll go on 2–3 walks a day, and I’ll send you plenty of photos and updates! We have a large fenced outdoor area, and daily walks, playtime, and exercise are part of our routine. I have a sweet 3-year-old Australian Shepherd named Sailor, who I’ve had since he was a puppy. He loves other dogs and people and is always excited to have a new friend around! I also have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks and playing fetch or prefers lounging on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away. I have a very flexible work schedule during the week, which allows me to provide frequent dog walks and potty breaks. I also currently have an active dog, so caring for another animal is easy for me since I already follow a consistent routine with him. I follow the instructions you leave me and take that seriously. Reactive dogs are not a good match for me, I’m so sorry, and they must get along with my dog. Let’s link up and have the pups meet and go over your dog needs!
“Eric was very attentive and communicative throughout a 2.5-week boarding that gave us peace of mind about our dog Lucy while we were out of the country. In addition, he was able care for her medical needs 6 weeks after surgery (meds, diet, restricted activity) and kept us updated on any trends he was noticing, which alleviated a lot of potential stress with leaving her during a sensitive time. I could tell that he cared for our dog with love and we found her in good shape when we picked her up. Would happily board with Eric again!”
“From the minute I spoke with Zachary on our video chat through our meet-n-greet in person, I knew my sweet boy would be great in his care. He sent photos, videos and updates regularly and my boy was exercised, cozy and well cared for all the way through his stay. I have already booked another stay in the near future. Absolutely recommend!!”
