“James was an absolute fantastic sitter for our dog snoopy. We loved the daily activity James had with snoopy and the care he put into our treasure. Will definitely use James again.”
“Ketch LOVES T and J and his time with them. I was so grateful for the love and care he received during his boarding while we were away as well as the updates they shared with me. He will definitely be back anytime we are in need of care.”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kevin and his partner, Kandice. Our French Bulldog, Bobo, is our child, and this was the first time we had left him since he suffered an IVDD flare earlier this year. Needless to say, we were incredibly nervous. Because of his recent health issues, he has a number of restrictions and special considerations to help prevent another IVDD flare, and Kevin and Kandice were so attentive and conscientious about following all of his care instructions. They immediately put us at ease and kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. Most importantly, it was obvious that Bobo wasn’t just being watched—he was genuinely cared for and loved. When we picked him up, he was happy, comfortable, and clearly had been very well cared for. As pet parents, that’s all you can hope for when leaving your dog with someone else. Kevin and Kandice are trustworthy, compassionate, and truly exceptional. We are so grateful for the care they provided and will absolutely be using them again. In fact, if they’ll have us, we’d love for them to be our permanent dog sitters. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of our boy. We couldn’t recommend you more highly. ❤️🐾”
“Mike was great at communicating leading up to and during the boarding. Our dog Frankie warmed up to Mike and his wife Sherri very quickly. She got lots of exercise and was in such a happy mood when we picked her up. We were very happy to meet Mike and will be excited to have Frankie visit again.”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“Lorelei was extremely flexible for our hectic holiday schedule. She was quick with her responses and took care of Dani just like her own pup. I highly recommend Lorelei to take care of your dog!”
“Charis made sure our pup had an amazing time. The whole time I was updated on how my pup was doing because she would send me messages and pictures. He was definitely always smiling in every photo or he looked very comfortable.”
“Woody had a great time with Elizabeth and her adorable little boy. She let us know how he was doing and sent us pictures every day. Elizabeth was super friendly and easy to communicate with from when I first contacted her and throughout his stay. She had so many compliments about Woody and we are happy to recommend her and leave Woody with her again!”
“I was so happy to find Maria to watch Bucky for my vacation. Her house is a small doggie paradise! I got pictures and videos regularly and I was confident that he was in good hands. I look forward to many future visits and I’m sure Bucky does too!”
“Great stuff, easy fast drop off and pickup, was flexible when I needed to change the time and washed my dog when he rolled in poop. My dog is a nervous little guy but he was fine with the whole thing.”
“Frida had a fabulous stay with Cathleen and her other four legged friends. Wonderful space, such a kind person and we picked up a very happy puppy after their stay. Thank you!”
“We're so happy Mimi has a comfortable place to stay with people who enjoy her company. She's a shy dog, so it's great that she was able to settle in cuddle with new people. Many thanks!”
“My dog Lucy had such a good time with Christina and her doggos. I loved all the updates and pictures, she was really being loved like she would’ve been with us. She was sent home with the cutest Easter picture. I would definitely bring Lucy back to her again. Thank you so much!”
“Scooby was treated like a king! Kayla’s kids always made sure he was nice and comfortable. Her husband took him on runs and he was made to feel like part of the family. We will definitely use Kayla again.”
“SJ is truly the best. She takes better care of our fur babies then we do and they are relaxed and happy to vein her company. Feels like leaving them with a family member.”
“Awesome pet sitter, treated our pup like his own. Great communication and very inviting. Our pup didn’t want to leave. Definitely top tier pet sitter he’s worth the money!”
“Alora gave me a scare and stole chicken bones from the trash right before we were going to drop her off with Kirsten! We double and triple checked Alora wasnt going to need a vet visit, and Kirsten kindly accommodated a slightly later dropoff & some fasting + bland food requests the next day from the vet. That's thankfully as complicated as it got and Alora's stay was uneventful, but Kirsten kept this pet parent happy that Alora was in good hands and I was across the country for a few days 🙂 can't thank her enough.”

“Anna provided amazing care for our pet and even offered to adjust her stay to accommodate a last minute change with our schedule. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Kimberly went above and beyond my expectations or my additional requests.Im a 1st time user of Rover, and in fact have never had a cat/pet-sitter before. Kimberly got back to my inquiry within 15 minutes, and was able to help me with less than 12 hours notice. Upon my request, I asked if she could come by the house so I could leave her all my (insane and overly protectiveness) notes. We had initially agreed to 30 min drop-ins everyday, but after I met her I asked if she could do 2 visits a day, which she was able to accommodate my worry for leaving my cat alone. Kimberly provided photos of my cat EVERY VISIT and messaged me every time I needed to check-in (for my sanity). I had interior cameras set up and could honestly look in when I was curious, but she was amazing and meeting all my cats needs. Her interaction, and updates showed me that aside from me, and including my daughter, my cat seemed to love her almost as much as me! My cat was even following her out every visit the last few days! Kimberly loved my cat, and even fed the outdoor birds & squirrels in my absence since they are my cats TV entertainment throughout the days. ***Note: I didn't even return to a "present" from my cat! I can't recommend Kimberly enough!!! It was the BEST experience for both me and my cat! She will be there as much as you need her to, even on Christmas Day and evening!!! ❤️”
About: Cat parents know that cats needs are unique compared to other pets. I have plenty of experience from having cats of my own my whole life and working in vet med caring for cats of all kinds with all different needs in stressful situations. I will take the time to get to know your babies and take things at their pace building trust and making your kitty feels as safe as they can. I scoop litter boxes daily and keep food dishes clean. Depending on the cats comfort level and temperament I am able to trim nails, brush, administer medications (pill, transdermal, injectable), subcutaneous fluids, etc by myself. For me cats are always inside unless specifically told they go outside, catios are great!
“Valerie is an absolute GEM!!! She was so attentive to our cats and she is very knowledgeable. While I did leave her detailed instructions on everything, she absolutely went above and beyond my expectations during our very long vacation period. Her daily updates were prompt, very informative and she clearly has a 'cat whisperer' talent :) The cats warmed up to her more quickly than I expected and she even helped resolve a potential problem while we were away. She deserves 10 stars in my book. Animals are in great hands with Valerie as their sitter!!!!”
“This is my second booking with Regan. Once for this come over/potty break/hangout; the other for a multi-overnight. My dogs absolutely LOVE when Regan comes over. Charlie loves everyone and likes to talk about it. Lucy is a very reserved but wants to check things out in case she need to hide. When Regan first met them, she came over to get the key. Lucy was like, "hey lady, 'sup?..", took 2 little ear scratches, and walked off (high praise from her). Charlie was like, "HELLO! You smell like friend." Given this response I knew these goobers would be in great hands. After both visits, when we came in, the girls were on the sofa like, "Dang... It's not Regan, just the parents," and promptly returned to sofa-mode. For our overnight, we returned to a nicely tidy house and happy dogs. (Not the case with other sitters.) We are excited to book with Regan again for our next overnight.”
“Brian is wonderful with our dog! He is easy to communicate with, reliable and trustworthy. Our dog loves to see him and looks forward to his visits. Brian really cares about our dog and I’m so grateful we connected. Not only does he clearly love and respect animals, he is also very professional and detail oriented. 100% recommend him for any pet sitting needs.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 14. My first dog was a lab mix and he is now 14 years old. I currently have two cats and two dogs of my own that I have taken care of for the past few years. I have also helped friends and neighbors with their little furry friends by walking and feeding them. My current schedule for right now can be any night time stays. I can also help out anytime after 7:30am Monday to Fridays, or weekends full-day. I am close to local dog parks which I take my two puppies to everyday. They love to play with other dogs there and play tug of war or catch at the park. I also love to take walks by the water or go on hikes with my dogs.
“My dogs were so excited to have Christine drop by for a visit during one of my long work days! I came home and could instantly tell she did a great job entertaining them and making sure they had ample time for potty breaks, following all of my guidelines to a T. She communicated very well and I am so grateful for her care. Looking forward to having her stay with them for an extended trip at the end of summer.”
“Rebekah is just fantastic! She is so lovely and wants the best for your animals while you’re gone. She went out of her way to pay close attention to them and ensure they felt like they were in their usual routines! I really appreciated everything she did! Thank you again you are one of the best!”
“I am a first time customer. Abby made the experience great. She walked me through the process and made me feel confident about the care she takes with our cat. She was professional, reliable and so kind. I’m looking forward to scheduling Abby for April and July vacations if she’s available.”
“Nancy is terrific. She is wonderful with our dogs (they love her). She is reliable and provides us with peace of mind knowing our pups are on good hands.”
“There are not enough stars to describe how lovingly Meghan and her family cared for our Siamese cat, Koala. They made Koala's physical and emotional comfort their personal business, and it showed in how quickly he warmed up to them. We picked up a cat that had clearly enjoyed his time with them. We wholeheartedly recommend Meghan as a trusted caregiver for your pet.”
“Jasmin took great care of my pet cat when I was out of town for 4 days. She made detailed notes of her visits and took many photos & videos of their interaction. I would surely seek help from Jasmin again in the future!”
About: I currently work from home and have a good-sized and fully fenced yad. I've lived with dogs for my entire life and current have four of my own - all Border Collies. I compete in dog agility and also enjoy trick training. I volunteered at Seattle Humane Society for many years, including as a volunteer trainer assistant in the Reactive Rover program. I've had a couple of reactive rovers myself and am familiar with fear and fear-based aggression. I employ positive reinforcement training on my own dogs and with dogs I have worked with. Since training and competing in dog sports, as well as actively hiking in the Pacific Northwest has been my passion for the past decade, I have decided to make good use of the skills I've acquired. Dog that stay with me will be treated to plenty of outdoors time and if they are up for it - some hiking! I work from home and go out every day for a walk with dogs. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sunday I'm out hiking with dogs and would love to bring guest dogs out for some fun too! I have a fairly flexible schedule but do have some weekends blocked off as I do participate in dog sport events. I also have my own dogs so client dogs must be friendly toward other dogs. I treat my pet clients as if they were my own pets, which means a lot of individual attention and customized to the pet I'm working with. I make an effort to get to know each of my pet clients as individuals and and customize my care of them accordingly. Guest dogs will be given plenty of mental and physical activity.
About: I love cats. Particularly because of the range of personalities they offer us. I’ve cared from cats who prefer to remain hidden to cats who snuggle in your lap. I’ve cared for many different personalities and work to meet kitties where they are at with their needs.

“Cathleen was so friendly and helpful- taking care of our pups with just a few day's notice when we wanted to visit the island. She made Vivi and Bijou feel comfortable and at home- as evidenced by the photos of them relaxing and snoozing without a care. We were so glad to find her and wouldn't hesitate to have our pups stay with her again.”
“Emily has the setup when it comes to caring for dogs. Our pup, Bowie, was picked up both days happy as can be. Emily updated us throughout the day with pictures and engaged with Bowie with some of his favorite games, tug and Frisbee. He even made other dog friends! What more can you ask for. I'm handsdown booking with Emily/ Pacific Paws again ☺️”
“Thanks to Cara we had a wonderful first-time experience on Rover. Yoshi did his first Rover doggy day care and he had a blast. Cara took great care of him and her little girls took to Yoshi. He came home and promptly passed out. Expecting a lot more play dates in the near future. It's awesome to find another Corgi Mom. Thank you, Cara, for welcoming Yoshi into your home. We loved the photos you sent to us throughout the day and hope to add more memories.”
“I have absolutely nothing but positive things to say! I was so stressed trying to find a last minute situation for my dogs and Christina was amazing! She sent me many different pictures and updated me throughout the entire day, letting me know how Bear and Sitka were doing! I knew they were in great hands and I am very very happy and pleased with the service she provided! Thank you so much!”
“Love these folks! So kind and clearly love animals. Beautiful setting and I know my dog gets love and attention while he’s there. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have had pets my entire life dogs, cats, rabbits and horses. I am comfortable around every type of dog, however prefer to sit smaller dogs up to 25lbs. I have a mini dachshund who is 16 years old, who misses having friends around. I am familiar with puppies through seniors. I do work from home 4 days a week. Currently I have an unfenced yard, I use retractable leashes to maintain safety when outside. Your fur-baby will get daily walks and plenty of love. I work from home 4 days a week, giving me the opportunity to give your pet plenty of attention in an adults only home with one dog for companion time. We do daily walks around the neighborhood, in a wooded area or at Manchester state park. I don’t currently have a fenced yard, outdoor time will be on retractable leashes for potty breaks, time on the fenced deck, and daily walks using your pets regular leash. Should pets need to be left home unattended I will ensure everyone is in safe, separate locations close enough companionship but not mischief. Safety and well cared for is my goal.
“We are traveling from the San Francisco Bay Area visiting friends. Kristina and her family welcomed Dusty with open arms and loving hearts! We were able to leave Dusty with out worry. They are the best!!”
“Reanna is wonderful! She has professional training and is very attentive and conscientious. Lots of nice pics, and even gave my baby a free brushing! Very nice lady and she took good care of my baby. She was exhausted from play and fun when I picked her up. I highly recommend her.”
“Baloo had a great time with Valerie! She was prompt in responses and offered a meet and greet before we dropped him off on a holiday! She took great care of him and was very flexible with us.”
“Booked a few days prior to sitting, Robin was quick to respond. During the sitting, I was provided photos and updates throughout the day which I really appreciated. THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
About: I've spent a few different winters working for a doggy daycare where you need to arrange a schedule for each dog to go walk and go play. Some days we would have forty plus dogs all needing care and attention. I've also volunteered a substantial amount on many organic farms and working with all sorts of animals, learning how to read different animal personalities and manage their care I currently work from home and on the side have picked up many gigs and different short term services to fill the gaps in my schedule. Dog visits and walks are one of my favorite ways to break the day up and make it less boring. Feeding according to owners schedule and multiple short walks each day. I own a small property surrounded by virgin forest where dogs love to go and explore or for more fragile dogs can walk/play around small yards or dog friendly parks. I will always respect a clients home as a client and will never take advantage of the trust I am given for these type of jobs
“We appreciate you so much, Finni and Sophie appreciate you caring for them. They seem to have really enjoyed their day. Thank you so much for your kindness.”
“I love that Rhonda and her family created a secure and fun back yard for the dogs to play. I also love that the whole family helps with the dogs and that there is usually someone home. It gives me great peace of mind to know that my dog has humans around most of the time. Rhonda's dogs are playful and my dog seemed to be at ease even though she is often fearful of new dogs and new situations.”
“Thanks to Kayla & family we had a great first time experience on Rover! Super responsive, accommodating, and let me bring Frankie for a visit to meet them the day before. Her kids loved on our dog and she sent pictures of Frankie snuggling😊”
“Charis is just what my puppy and I needed! She was so accommodating to my puppy who recently had stitches and required an e-collar. It’s relieving having reliable care. My puppy loved the experience & new friends and had thankfully burned her energy for the day. Will definitely book again!”
“We have a newly adopted senior dog with severe separation anxiety after the loss of his previous owner. Leaving him home alone proved unsuccessful. In searching for a solution we found Jennifer and Alex. We are so relieved Jennifer and Alex welcomed Jett into their home and provided a safe, loving, fun place. He socializes with their pets beautifully and we get to enjoy the texted photos showing him happy and at ease with their three dog pack.”
“Zara had a wonderful first time visit with Stacey and River & Birdie. Stacey made her feel comfortable around the bigger dogs and she loved the one-on-one attention from Stacey. My pup was happy and tired when I picked her up. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Super friendly & attentive! Provided us with excellent updates of our Icky. It was very obvious how much they love and care for all the animals in their home. Thank you, Icky made good friends today!”

“Mary Elizabeth instantly made and my pups feel at ease. She’s very personable and has great experience with pups of all kinds. Even ones with quirky behaviors like mine!”
“Chance is great, consistent, and our Woogs is very happy with the walks. Fully recommend him as very solid walker, especially for big dogs that like to pull and/or are high energy (ours is ~90 lbs). Our Woogs is looking forward to many more walks with Chance :)”
“Brian stepped in when our summer walker for River was out of town. And we’re so glad he did. An incredibly compassionate caretaker of dogs. We trusted Brian with our best boy both immediately and implicitly! Thank you Brian!”
“Melody and Rufus enjoyed their time with Anne. Anne took great care of them both and we will be having her take them both for walks weekly. Thank you for being so great with our dogs💕”

I am currently a full-time student and work part-time (currently Monday-Thursday 4pm-7pm). I have full weekend availability and pretty flexible scheduling for daily check-ins/walks as well as over night sitting.

“Rebekah was great walking our dogs and giving them play time out in the back! They got out to play in the snow! I got tons of pictures, and the pups got lots of love and snacks. What more could you ask for?!”

“Awesome pet sitter, treated our pup like his own. Great communication and very inviting. Our pup didn’t want to leave. Definitely top tier pet sitter he’s worth the money!”
“Alora gave me a scare and stole chicken bones from the trash right before we were going to drop her off with Kirsten! We double and triple checked Alora wasnt going to need a vet visit, and Kirsten kindly accommodated a slightly later dropoff & some fasting + bland food requests the next day from the vet. That's thankfully as complicated as it got and Alora's stay was uneventful, but Kirsten kept this pet parent happy that Alora was in good hands and I was across the country for a few days 🙂 can't thank her enough.”
“Jill was great, not only with accepting and accommodating a last minute booking but communication and love for animals was stellar! Hendrix had a great time and will definitely be using her again!”
“Matt was great! My family and I moved to Seattle from Boston about a month ago and have never had anyone besides family watch our dog. I was very anxious to say the least about leaving him while we went on a vacation. Matt was so nice and patient with me while I was looking for a sitter. He had complete open communication while our dog was at his house, sent me a ton of pictures and always responded very quickly. I am so grateful Maverick was able to stay with Matt and got to play with his awesome dog! Will defineltly be booking again with Matt.”
“Kyah is AWESOME and professional. She did baby sit my one year old boy Thunder and she is very patient with him. She sent updates often times and i love it! I would recommend her service to anyone who needs to baby sit their fur babies. Will def use her services again.”
“Amanda watched our working line GSD for over a week while we were in Hawaii and she has watched him in the past for doggy daycare. She is the real deal and it made all the difference knowing he was safe and well cared for while we were gone. You can tell she has a ton of experience with dogs and other animals. She loves them yes but also understands how to keep them safe and set reasonable boundaries. Her property is ideal for dogs too with a big fenced yard and kennels. 10/10 recommend!”
“My dog loved Don! He took such good care of my girl. Lots of walks, lots of pets, lots of updates. I felt very comfortable leaving her in his hands. I’d definitely look to book with him again.”
