“What a wonderful experience having my fur baby Katie board with Diahann H. and her family. My 6 year old Maltese is a timid dog very co-dependent on me and has had little experience with other small dogs. I was so pleased that she bonded with this wonderful family and other small dogs in their care, she settled in, ate well and made herself at home with lots of pictures from Diahann to show how well she did. Highly recommend them to care for your loved ones and will be thrilled to use them again. Margie Holmes”
“Nikkole was a wonderful sitter to my 2 mini dachshunds. She has a large fenced yard where they loved to play when they were outdoors and a comfy couch where my girls loved to lounge with her. Nikkole is easy to talk to and she sent daily photos and updates and was quick to respond to questions. I’m very grateful to be able to trust her with my little ones and will definitely use her again when the time comes. Thanks Nikkole!”
“Anna is absolutely amazing with Zeus. From the moment we met her, we knew he was in the best hands. She treats him like family, giving him so much love, attention, and care. Zeus always comes home happy, well cared for, and relaxed, which says everything about the environment she creates. Her communication is great, and she truly goes above and beyond to make sure he’s comfortable and safe. Anna is the one and only babysitter we will ever use for Zeus. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
“Noelle’s love and care for our dog have completely spoiled us. After seeing how happy and well cared for Mosie is, we can’t imagine ever boarding her anywhere else. In fact, our biggest worry when we travel is whether Mosie will want to come home when we get back! She absolutely loves her time there. It’s truly a home away from home, and we couldn’t be more grateful.”
“What a blessing! Kathie took such wonderful care of our sweet pup this past weekend. We loved the frequent updates and photos too. We highly recommend her and Lucy looks forward to a return visit in the coming months.”
“Murphy had a wonderful 2 weeks with Keri and Kerry. He had a great time playing with Beau and watching the Seahawks game with the family! I am so glad that I had pick them to care for Murphy and will definitely ask them again when we leave town. They were so caring and patient with my red ball of energy.”
“This is our second time with Sheena and she continues to amaze us with her level of care! This time Koko stayed for two weeks, and I received a message update with photos/videos on Koko's wellbeing at least once a day. Sheena and her family continue to show Koko patience and love with her many quirks and ensures Koko is comfortable as well. I very much recommend trusting Sheena with your dog-sitting needs!”
“Ingrid was great with Zoey! We really appreciate all the updates and videos. She was easy to work with, very flexible and accommodating. Will definitely use her again!”
“My Maltese Celeste had a wonderful stay with Ashleigh and her husband: lots of stimulation including walks around the lake, romping with her doggies, stealing their toys and being cuddled. Highly recommend her.”
“Roger and his family are very caring and gave us warm welcome at the meet and greet. Our dog stayed for two nights and had privilege of moving about freely in most areas of their room. Roger is quick to communicate and also sends photos throughout their story. I recommend Roger for all of your pets care ,need and ❤️ love. We feel so good about Roger that we have already reserved pet care for next month ! Thank you Roger”
“Always amazing! We have used Kristine quite a few times and it’s always perfect! Our dog always comes back so happy and she always sends us lots of updates. 100% recommend!”
“We were so happy we found Angela to watch our pup! She is super bubbly and friendly and made sure we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our boy ❤️ looking forward to booking with her more in the future!”
“Charley was very happy to make new friends and play with the big dogs, and seemed very happy when we picked him up. Harlie sent plenty of pictures throughout the week. Harlie was also very flexible when we had to change our plans twice during the stay. I would feel very comfortable leaving Charley there again”
“We have repeatedly used Chloe when we need to board our dog. The family is so welcoming and warm and there's great communication the entire time are gone. We're so pleased to have found such a wonderful sitter.”
“Amber is our go-to when we travel. She takes great care of my puppy and my pup too enjoys spending time with Amber and her family. His energy matches so well with Amber's dog that they just have the best time of their life!”

“My cat Charlee was content and happy when I arrived home after a 5 day vacation. Anna's daily visits made all the difference in keeping my cat feeling safe, secure & loved.”
“Jazmyne was fantastic! I booked her to check in on my four cats for a couple days and am happy I did. She was kind, communicative, willing to take on the challenge of feeding my monsters wet food (they are spoiled and will only eat their food if I prepare it a certain way), spent time playing with them, and left my home nice and tidy. Additionally, she was able to make my grumpy Siamese comfortable enough to run on his cat wheel! I will 100% be booking with her from now on.”
“Taylor is a wonderful and dedicated sitter. She kept us informed each day on how our two kitties, Bella and Rudy, we doing. Sent us photos and videos which we truly appreciated. We highly recommend Taylor.”
“Thank you to Ellyse for sending such cute photos during her visits. They were much appreciated. She is very caring, comfortable with administering medications and prompt with her responses. I would be comfortable using her services again.”
“Leslie is great! She checks in on my cat when I am out of town. Making sure she gets her meds, food, and a clean litter box. I definitely recommend her to look after your pets!”
“Chelsea is amazing and took wonderful care of my two kitties. They are very different cats with unique needs and she was very patient and loving towards them, as well as detail oriented. I can’t emphasize how much I appreciate her approach and care with my cats.”
“Rachel was timely and friendly and took great care to make sure our dog was fed and had water and got to spend some time outside. We appreciated her willingness to be flexible with us when our plans changed a bit. We would definitely ask her to take of our dog again in the future.”
“Susan did a great job taking care of our kitty when we were away. It was our first time leaving him for more than a weekend and she put us at ease and we felt good knowing he was in good hands. She was punctual, reliable, followed instructions, and very sweet with our boy. I would definitely recommend her to others!”
“I don’t know if you’re able to review a person more than once. But I had Andrhu coming for drop in visits during my long work hours because he lives just a few blocks away. I noticed my cat who is 15 took to him right away and he paid attention to my very *particular* requests about her care. Not only did I have a significant increase in my cats level of calmness - but literally at the LAST minute I saw that the sitter I use when I’m out of town had left my cat alone for almost 24 hours. Then pushed he out of bed when the cat tried to ask for minimal attention. To say I was crushed was an understatement. I was in complete tears. I have a lot going on and am kind of a single pet parent until my husband can join me in the USA. Andrhu AGAIN was a god send. One one days notice I let the other sitter go home for personal reasons and Andrhu agreed to stay - he was with her most all day every day. I came home today, my cat happy, playing with a ball at 15 years old. And now I am comfortable purchasing a kitten to make her (and I) even happier. Knowing I have Andrhu close by - he’s SO flexible. He’s honest and communicates expectations clearly which I appreciate and respect. The amount of guilt I carry about leaving her is at a zero. Down from about 200 on my last vacation. And now with our new addition coming - I consider Andrhu to be part of my cat tribe to make sure they’re all ok. I don’t want him to get completely booked (selfishly). But this is the relationship I needed for my sweet girl until my husband is allowed to live here - and for every vacation after. I highly recommend treating him with utmost respect. I have a guest set of linens, towels and hope Andrhu will help himself to anything food or drink in my home. At this point my home is him home and even if we haven’t met he is cat-family. Hire him whenever you can. The compassion he shows to even old pets it unmatched. I’m almost crying tears of joy from having my anxiety so much reduced in this difficult time in my life.”

There is ample space to play, train and explore! Exercise and mental play are important to a happy pet, so whether at your house or mine, we make sure to pack in the fun!
“Maggie loves coming to Madeline's house. Madeline is quick to answer messages and extremely sweet. Maggie comes home exhausted even though there's no other dogs there when she is there.

“Roger is a fantastic doggy darecare. My Shepsky loves going over to their house. Roger and his family treats our princess like their own. They are very friendly and trustworthy. Highly recommend!”
“First time leaving our pup Truffle with Kathie today. Kathie was super great! Truffle had a terrific time with Kathie and her husband and their dog, Hershey. Truffle was treated like part of the family. Spent lots of time sitting on their laps, getting cuddled, went for a walk. What a fun filled day for Truffle! Kathie kept me posted and sent me photos throughout the day. Would definitely have Kathie take care of Truffle again.”

About: I have been working with/training dogs & training horses for over 20 years now. Working with animals is always something that has come natural to me & I can't imagine doing anything else. I currently have the most amazing 2 year old Belgium Malinois/GSD. (River) She has taught me so much about life this last year. She's made me a better trainer & continues to push & challenge me to learn more each day. I also have a 1 year old male Cane Corso (Mountain). I've known him since birth & River has been helping me raise him since he was 9 weeks old. He's been the perfect addition to our pack. I started training dogs when I was 13 & I realized I had a natural gift for it. My neighbors growing up would ask me to watch their dog or walk their dogs & I even trained a few of my neighbors dogs. Which is the first time I began to realize this was something I was not only good at but that I LOVED to do. I spent years studying & learning about how dogs learn, behave & interact with each other. I wanted to understand them more. (Their pack instincts & such) All of this research has helped me understand how to teach many different kinds of dogs in all kinds of areas. Training dogs is what I do for a living right now & i work with my own dogs every day and keep them well trained, behaved and ready for any dog friends to come visit. I'm available pretty much 7 days a week. (Give or take) Caring for pets is just something I've always done & I can't imagine myself doing anything else. I have a HUGE fully fenced in back yard. I have an 12 year old amazing boxer/lab who helped train & teach my Malinois how to be a good canine citizen & now they are both continuing to teach my Corso how to be a canine gentleman. So now I have some amazing dogs who do a really good job of welcoming any dog into their home and making them feel right at home.
“Meredith took care of Genny during the day while we were having some home repairs completed. Genny had a great time, and came home tired after spending the day playing with “friends”. Meredith communicated promptly and sent pics of Genny having fun through the week. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Anna and her husband took fantastic care of my pup! I felt very comfortable leaving him for the day for doggy day care with her. She sent lots of updates of him having a blast during his stay! I would recommend her to anyone, and would book again in the future! Thank you!”

“Anna has been fantastic with our dog, Chad. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs she works with. We always feel confident knowing Chad is in good hands, and he’s always happy after his walks. Highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog walker!”
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs, and am familiar with many other kinds of animals. I have sat for non-family/friends and well as them included many times before! I have managed taking care of 5+ pets at once, given proper meds, care, playtime, etc. This experience ranges from kittens/puppies just a few days old, to older aged animals. I work “full time” but I work around 30 hours and I have a lot of split shifts so time before or after to check-in with the pets. This looks like morning feed, going outside, if any meds or vitamins need to be taken or same with after depending on the time of day needed. Depending on circumstances of boundaries and rules of each pet, I easily find a solution and adapt if needed. I will watch your dog/cat outside or on a leash front or back of yard. If there are off-limit areas inside our outside those will be closed doors or if there’s a gate it will be put up per clients request. If there needs to be check-ins with owner that be applicable, I am attentive to my phone, when and if necessary.
“Silvia was absolutely wonderful! I am an anxious person about our dogs' care. We also have a senior dog with her own quirks. Silvia was kind and patient in getting to know our dogs and communicated with me every day about the visits. I highly recommend her and look forward to requesting her support for our dogs in the future! Thank you so much, Silvia!!”
“As I have had surgery and can't walk Gary for while, I looked for someone on Rover to help out. I'm so glad I came across Ingrid! She is so professional, reliable, and good with my big golden who has never walked very well on a leash for me. Ingrid has the magic touch, along with the skills, to help with the pulling. I would highly recommend Ingrid for any Rover service.”

“Andrhu is such a wonderful walker for our family, our girls really see him as a friend and playmate. He is so caring and really keeps our girls happiness and safety in the forefront if each visit.

About: Hi, my name is Hailey and I’m 28 years old. I am currently going to nursing school full time and I am trying to make some extra money on the side to support my family. My husband and I have had our one dog(Kota, female) for 6 years now and another dog(Ash, male) for 4 years. I also have 2 outdoor barn kitties and 8 chickens. I love to homestead, grow my own veggies and read in my spare time. We have had our dog Kota(English-setter, 11 years old) since she was a puppy and my husband and I decided to adopt Ash(boxer, 6 years old) when he was only 1 year old. He was labeled free and the previous owner could not take care of him, plus he was not trained. He had never experienced grass before so when we first got him his paws would bleed and I got the opportunity to help heal him and hone in to correct his bad behavior skills. I would dedicate 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour at night to train him for a year before he started to trust me and we developed a wonderful relationship like we have with our Kota. I love all of our animal immensely and I believe that animals are not some inanimate object you have but a true companion in your life that deserves to be treated like family. I would love to care for your pet and I can provide some training while doing so in a positive reward environment. I do not believe in animal abuse or keeping animals without having dedication in creating a relationship. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile, I look forward to working with you. I have school in the mornings during the week and I have study time after that. I can work with your pet most likely afternoons and weekends as long as I’m not busy that weekend. I am flexible, it just depends on the requested times. I believe in reward training and care. I have worked with my own dogs through kennel training and rewarding good behavior. Abuse is not a form of training in my mind, I believe any animal can be trained as long as you put the time and effort into them. Doing this creates a stable and loving relationship between you and that animal.
“Shyanne, agreed to walk Aithusa the night before after another walker canceled due to illness. She sent pictures and route of thier walk and communicated when needing to adjust the time of one of his walks. Aithusa was happy when I returned home from work. I think thier walks helped him not miss his mom, who's away.”

“Nikkole was a wonderful sitter to my 2 mini dachshunds. She has a large fenced yard where they loved to play when they were outdoors and a comfy couch where my girls loved to lounge with her. Nikkole is easy to talk to and she sent daily photos and updates and was quick to respond to questions. I’m very grateful to be able to trust her with my little ones and will definitely use her again when the time comes. Thanks Nikkole!”
“Anna is absolutely amazing with Zeus. From the moment we met her, we knew he was in the best hands. She treats him like family, giving him so much love, attention, and care. Zeus always comes home happy, well cared for, and relaxed, which says everything about the environment she creates. Her communication is great, and she truly goes above and beyond to make sure he’s comfortable and safe. Anna is the one and only babysitter we will ever use for Zeus. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
“Noelle’s love and care for our dog have completely spoiled us. After seeing how happy and well cared for Mosie is, we can’t imagine ever boarding her anywhere else. In fact, our biggest worry when we travel is whether Mosie will want to come home when we get back! She absolutely loves her time there. It’s truly a home away from home, and we couldn’t be more grateful.”
“Murphy had a wonderful 2 weeks with Keri and Kerry. He had a great time playing with Beau and watching the Seahawks game with the family! I am so glad that I had pick them to care for Murphy and will definitely ask them again when we leave town. They were so caring and patient with my red ball of energy.”
“This is our second time with Sheena and she continues to amaze us with her level of care! This time Koko stayed for two weeks, and I received a message update with photos/videos on Koko's wellbeing at least once a day. Sheena and her family continue to show Koko patience and love with her many quirks and ensures Koko is comfortable as well. I very much recommend trusting Sheena with your dog-sitting needs!”
“Roger and his family are very caring and gave us warm welcome at the meet and greet. Our dog stayed for two nights and had privilege of moving about freely in most areas of their room. Roger is quick to communicate and also sends photos throughout their story. I recommend Roger for all of your pets care ,need and ❤️ love. We feel so good about Roger that we have already reserved pet care for next month ! Thank you Roger”
“Always amazing! We have used Kristine quite a few times and it’s always perfect! Our dog always comes back so happy and she always sends us lots of updates. 100% recommend!”
“Charley was very happy to make new friends and play with the big dogs, and seemed very happy when we picked him up. Harlie sent plenty of pictures throughout the week. Harlie was also very flexible when we had to change our plans twice during the stay. I would feel very comfortable leaving Charley there again”
“Ren and his family were exceptional caregivers for our very very active puppy. They were thoughtful with everything they did with our dog. They’re wonderfully responsive, professional and clearly have years of experience with dogs. Ren is truly a dog whisperer. Thank you!”
“Our dog Penny always has so much fun at Mrs. Katie's house. She loves playing with their dog Blue and snuggling, relaxing later. It's her fun vacation home away from home.”
“Cindy did a fantastic job watching Cassie! She was attentive, thoughtful, and listened to all of the details we shared about Cassie’s routine and personality. It was clear that Cassie was well cared for and comfortable while we were away. Cindy was also highly communicative, providing regular updates and sending photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We really appreciated the care and attention she gave, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Cassie again. Highly recommend!”
“Kristin and her family were great! Our large dog Sumo had a fantastic time and was taken care of with love by Kristin. She made everything very easy for us and was flexible with the pick up time as our travels extended a bit. We will happily be rebooking in the future!”
“Mariko was the absolute best with watching our dog Bruce! We originally had a friend lined up to watch our dog, but it fell through and Mariko was able to take him in on short notice. She constantly sent pictures and videos of Bruce showing just how much fun he was having and how much care she was giving to, not only our dog, but every other dog she was watching. I am absolutely going to use Mariko again, in the future, for any of our dog watching needs because I know that Bruce had such a good time even if he can't tell us.”
“This was our second time leaving Forest with Tiffany and her family, but the first time overnight. We were not nervous at all though about leaving him. Tiffany provided regular updates with photos and videos. Forest was well cared for and well loved.”

The fact he knew both my dogs name made me feel like family! I messaged Maafatu and as always VERY RESPECTFUL AND RESPONSIVE! we love Maafatu and we will only use Maafatu! brownie and slime mom c:”
