“Carl is an amazing sitter! Very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and I could tell our boy was very comfortable and having a great time while we were gone. Carl’s space is fantastic for any pets, our dog loved being there. I will absolutely reach out to Carl first in the future for any sitting needs.”

“Tomas was super patient with my shy pup - I could tell by the photos and videos that after a few days warming up, she was settled in, calm, comfortable, and having a blast playing with his dog! I felt reassured by the daily updates and check-ins, and would leave Zula in his care again in a heartbeat!”


“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!”

“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!”


“We gotta say, we’ve had rover sitters before (some good, some not so good) but Gregg by far has exceeded all of our expectations. We asked him beforehand if he was okay with one of our reactive and pulley dogs, and he said he was. We set up a meet and greet before booking and both our dogs took to Gregg immediately. He just had such a kind, warm demeanor to him, and although we had other meet and greets scheduled throughout the week, no one even came close to Gregg. The booking itself was exactly what we thought it would be — amazing. Gregg was very communicative, with constant updates/photos/videos throughout the day, was very attentive towards both of our dogs needs, kept them engaged throughout their stay, followed all instructions on feeding/walking times, and even kept a close eye on one of our dogs paw chewing. When we came to pick them up, it was very clear they had a blast with Gregg, and even bonded with him as well!!! Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and because of that, we are just so grateful to have found him!!! He is going to be our go-to sitter going forward, and we know our dogs can’t wait for their next adventure with Gregg!!!”

“Maria was amazing with our sweet baby Tasha. Our dog can be a bit shy but warmed up to Maria in no time! We received pics and video updates throughout her stay and Tasha was having a great time with Maria’s tiny dog pack. I would recommend Maria to anyone worried about leaving their dog behind, your baby will be in great hands!”

“Matt was an incredible dog sitter for my 14 week old Australian Shepherd mix! He provided a safe and enjoyable home for my puppy for a week while I was on vacation. I received lots of pictures and text updates from Matt everyday. Being away from my dog initially made me very anxious, but Matt put my mind at ease and I am very grateful. He was also very understanding and flexible with drop off and pick up times. When my return flight was delayed, Matt was willing to work with me and stay up very late to allow me to pick up my puppy right after I landed. I will 100% use Matt in the future and those reading should trust Matt with your dog too!”

“Kevin is a very responsible sitter. He made sure that he understood our dog’s habits, routines, and personality. He communicated well and sent several photos a day. We felt very comfortable having Kevin watch our dog!”

“George was not feeling well, had some coughs and issues and we were informed twice a day on status Net is that Kalyan and Maria are great hosts and really really care for your pets well being.”

“Erin and Kevin were just the best! This was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous using internet strangers as dog watchers. Erin suggested a meet up before and left me with zero worries. Our dog was so well taking care of with daily photos and check ins on all their walks and play times. Will 100% be booking with them again on our next vacation!”

“My dog, a Aussiedoodle, requires lots of exercise and Angelique was up for it. As testimony, my dog has slept hard all morning. My dog is also very social with other dogs. I liked that Angelique boards multiple pets at the same time. I received daily pictures and updates. I don’t know who had more fun last week—my dog or me, and I was on a beach in Mexico!”

“We used Jennifer for boarding our dog and on the first night our dog started having some serious medical issues. Jennifer was very proactive about contacting me to let me know what was going on and sending pictures. My sister in-law ended up picking up my dog to take her to the vet and was able to work with Jennifer to arrange a pick up time. Since our time was cut short Jennifer was also proactive about helping me get a refund for the partial stay. Jennifer went above and beyond what I expected and I am very grateful! I am hoping to use her again in the future.”

“Mimi was wonderful with our dog! She was kind, gentle and responsive, and her own dog and mine were already on the way to becoming good friends after only 1 night! Mimi sent us loads of pictures and videos which made us feel so relaxed and happy. As Mimi remarked, “ it looked like he had found his second home after only a few hours!” My husband and I enthusiastically endorse Mimi’s care and we hope to sign our dog up for another stay soon!”

“Devan was great! Checked in with us regularly to let us know how Blaze was doing and settling in. I could tell that Blaze was well cared for and had a great time with Devan and his partner! Will definitely use him again!”

“Kiya was very responsive and took great care of my dog, Luca. Luca can be reactive with other dogs and I felt very safe leaving her with Kiya. I got a lot of photo updates and it seems like they had a great time. I would use her again!”


“Kirsten was terrific. Rizzo settled in and had fun with the family and the family dogs even though shy can be shy. We received ample feedback and pictures to reassure us that our pup was fine while we were on vacation.”

“Rachael was great. She provided me regular updates on my pup while he stayed with her, which I very much appreciated. She also responded to any and all of my communications quickly and was very flexible. Would definitely recommend.”

“Melissa and Allan took great care of Leo! He got lots of long walks, play and snuggle time. We also got tons of updates and pictures of our pup. I would definitely have them watch Leo again.”

“Theresa Ann took such good care of our pup and was very communicative with updates and photos while we were away. Lucy came home with the biggest smile on her face, and she can’t wait to hang out with Theresa Ann again!”

“Megan was fantastic with Finn! Truly went above and beyond with giving his medications, cleaning his ears since they were itchy, and take him on fun adventures. He had so much fun and felt right at home :) thank you Megan!!”

West Seattle dog parents share their Rover experiences
Alejandra & Raul are the best! We breathe easy whenever our pets are in their care. They communicate well and send lots of pictures. Our dog is very shy, but they are so caring and patient with her. We can tell that they are perceptive and give her exactly what she needs to relax and feel safe. That’s the best care we could ask for!
Jennifer took wonderful care of my two rescue Chi mixes who can be a little nervous and reactive. She took them for a walk and sent pictures of them cozied up during their stay. Our first overnight was a success! I also appreciated the care and attention she showed during our initial meet and greet. She is kind and patient and I feel comfortable leaving my beloved pups with her. They were happy to come home when she graciously brought them out to my car.

We had a wonderful experience with Miriam! She was incredibly sweet and took great care of Fiona while we were out of town for a few days. She sent lots of photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind and helped us know Fiona was doing well. We really appreciated her kindness, communication, and attention to Fiona's needs. We'd be happy to book with her again!

Patty was incredible! She’s everything you’d want in a sitter - kind, calm energy, active, and attentive. We got frequent updates from her, and she took the time to really get to know my dog. Plus, her large grassy yard is awesome and she’ll leave the door open when it’s nice out. I felt at ease the whole time my pup was with Patty and would certainly recommend her to others!

Gregg is so great and responsive! I asked if I could drop off my dog an hour earlier than expected and he was very flexible! He also gives me the run down of everything that went down that weekend, and any issues my dog is having. Hope she can have another stay with Gregg!

Sandie took such amazing care of Bobbie over Memorial Day weekend! She kept her active and well socialized and took her everywhere with her including hiking, BBQ with friends, and even swimming. I could tell Bobbie had the best time. I really appreciated the updates and the thoughtful way she manages and understand dogs in her care. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Bobbie was in such good hands. I’m already looking forward to booking with Sandie again soon!
