“Rachel did a great job looking after my baby girl Lola. She kept up with her chronic severe dry eye with no tear production with eye drops and ointment. She had her sleep in the bed with her to make Lola feel more comfortable and walk her outside to go potty.”

“David’s place was like a home away from home for our two dogs. They have different needs and personalities and David was an excellent caretaker for both of them. I hope to be able to have them visit again!”

“Maren & Jonathon took my elderly dog for a week. Elderly dogs can feel challenging for some people but they were naturals with her. They sent a few updates while I was away and she was happy, healthy and calm when we picked her up. We will definitely try booking again when we need to board our dogs in the future.”
“John was great with our shy pup, Bear. The photos and updates were wonderful. He was very easy to communicate with, friendly, and immediately put me at ease knowing he’s a long-time dog person. Our pup was exhausted when we got home so he got plenty of walks and all the fetch he could have wanted. I will gladly reach out to John again in the future!”

“Keep was excellent. From the first meeting and thru daily updates we had total confidence that Chili was happy, had plenty of exercise and being really well looked after. Thanks!”


“I had to leave my dog for a longer period than I ever have before, and I was really nervous about it. That completely changed when I met Jerrie! She was so kind and understanding about my anxiety, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout my trip, she communicated consistently and sent photos, which made such a difference and helped me relax knowing my dog was in good hands. When I picked her up, it was clear my dog was happy to see me, but also that she had truly bonded with Jerrie and loved her. That meant everything to me. I will absolutely be using Jerrie from now on whenever I need to leave my dog. Highly recommend!”
“Marlena looked after our 2 dogs one of which is blind, while we explored the park, she was incredible! Very friendly and caring, provided updates and pictures throughout the day and took great care of our babies!”

“Our dog stayed 4 nights at Diahann’s. Diahann and her family welcomed our very high energy 3-year old 15-lbs male Havanese. We got our little “hairball” during the pandemic and he is not used to people other than our family. It takes a long time for him to warm up to someone he does not know but Diahann and her family patiently let him settle in slowly until he let his guard down and become more comfortable in an unfamiliar environment. I recommend them. Thanks again Diahann and family!”

“What a great experience! Barbara really kept me well informed and sent regular updates with pics of how well Hank was doing. Thank you so much for everything and we look forward to you keeping our little guy again!”

“We were so pleased with Marie's time in Jamie's home. We got updates (photos and a video) and communication was top notch! Our pup is usually anxious when away from home but she settled right in and we are already booking our next stay. I can not recommend Jamie enough! Thank you for watching Marie!”

“Darby was amazing with our two pups! They were calm and displayed trust the moment they met her, which meant so much to us. She sent the sweetest photo updates and little stories throughout their stay (couch cuddles, movie night, adventure walks, and exploring her garden). She was also patient with our picky eater, Kona, and made sure she felt encouraged and cared for. Both dogs ate well, slept great, and came home happy and relaxed. We’re so grateful to have found someone who treats our pups like family. We’ll definitely be booking with Darby again!”

“Sarah was a Rockstar with my puppy Beau. She went above and beyond to try different training techniques to prevent him from pulling and getting distracted during walks. She sent me detailed instructions on things that worked and didn't. I would highly recommend her fur baby care to anyone.”

“Tonya was amazing! I was unable to receive communication at the VRBO location where I was staying, but both my dogs were very relaxed when I picked them up. I could tell”

“Ashleigh's is the first home we've ever allowed our two pups to stay. She makes them feel part of her family, and treats us just as well. Dealing with her is always a joy!”

“Maggie was caring with our dog & great with communication when our family schedule required some flexibility. I felt like she was very responsive and would book w her again without hesitation.”

“Sheena and her family always take such great care of our dogs, Duke and Bear! I used to worry and think the dogs were miserable and lonely in their kennels whenever I boarded them in the past. This was the second time we haves used Sheena. My husband and I went to Hawaii and had a great time! But I think our dogs had an even better time on their “vacation” 🤣 we got a ton of pictures and videos from Sheena and her daughter. Not only did it put my mind at ease, but it made me so happy to see my boys so happy and playing so much! I can’t recommend Sheena enough!!! She is truly the best!!! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Pamela is really great. I left my young min-pin with her for a full week and received updates daily. It was the first time I have left her with anyone and she did great. After I returned she was happy and showed no signs of stress at all. I will use her again .”

“Kristin was great! She sent me pics of my dog everyday and kept me updated with everything. I can tell that she took great care of my dog because she was so happy when I picked her up. Definitely want to book again :) thank you again, Kristin!”

Yelm dog parents share their Rover experiences
The best dog sitters always willing to work with us, and our dogs both love going there. It's hard to get them back home. Lots of pictures and great communication. And willing to go out of their way to meet our needs. I just wish we could take them with us when we move.

Mikayla and Skyler was exceptional from start to finish. They were punctual, communicative, and followed all care instructions perfectly. It was clear they went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable and happy. We returned home to a relaxed, well cared pup. I would absolutely recommend their services.
