“The best! Highly recommend. Our chiweenie has a lot of anxiety and we worry about her when we are away. Amanda was super sweet with her. Making friends right away. Our fur babies were loved on and well cared for. We will definitely book again!”
“So glad we had Lorie take care of our Alli! Our dog is our child so when we’re away, we love seeing pictures and receiving updates on their visit. Lorie was super thoughtful in providing plenty of pictures and updates. We would definitely ask Lorie to watch Alli again!”
“Julie was so great!! Leaving my kitties home alone is always nerve-wracking but knowing she would be there every day to check in on them was such a relief. I would definitely book Julie again.”
“Tiffany & Tiara are great sitters! We could tell our pets were well cared for and had a great time! This was our first time using Rover and they helped us understand the process and put us at ease. Highly recommend having these two for your pet needs.”
“Sara was incredible! She went above and beyond any expectations for a drop-in petsitter. She noticed my cat was walking with some difficulty and researched massages that could help her. She spent time massaging Maddie's back and leg muscles and now she's walking with much more ease! She made recommendations for play toys that has given my 12-year old cat some much needed excitement. She sent photos and videos every day of her playing with Maddie, and now I think Maddie missing that time with Sara today! Sara was on time every day and very respectful of our home. We are deeply grateful to have found her and will definitely seek her out again!”
“Sarah is wonderful! She is really great with our girls. Especially our senior cat, who is at the end of her life! She is thorough and asks a lot of questions, to ensure the best care for our babies! Thank you Sarah!! 😊”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 10 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and those needing a little extra patience and care. Whether it’s playtime, training support, or simply keeping your pet comfortable, I make sure every animal feels safe, happy, and part of the family. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for walks, drop-ins, or playtime during weekdays after work hours. Your pet’s routine and comfort are my top priority, so I make sure to adjust my schedule to meet their needs. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love making new friends. Safety is always my first priority, so I supervise playtime closely and can crate your pup if needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing a safe, loving, and structured environment so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
“We have been repeat clients of Fawn from house sitting for a week at a time to drop in visits for our high energy dogs (Rottweiler and American Bully). She loves our animals like her own, always shows up on time, and is in constant communication with us not only words but with pictures too when we are away. She gives us a great sense of security when our babies are in her care, especially since they adore her. We highly recommend her for your pet’s needs.”
“Samantha did a great job dropping in on our two cats. I was able to enjoy my trip so much better knowing the cats were in good hands. She sent tons of photos every day and spent quality time playing with them.”
About: I have worked for about 6 months in a doggy daycare facility, where I was able to enjoy keeping our customers fur babies happy and safe. Before that I was also volunteering at a private doggy daycare facility in Ireland, where I spent a few months taking care of all kind of dog breeds. In addition my husband and I welcomed two puppies beginning of last year. Meanwhile they are both about 1 year, so if your pet should stay with us, they will have lots of play time with them :) I'm currently taking this semester off, so I have lots of free time to spent with your loving fur babies. I'm available most of the time, so just sent me a message. I will follow all rules and instructions you give me regarding your pet, anything outside of your guidelines, I will treat your pet like I would want someone to treat mine, with love and care.
About: As an experienced dog sitter, I go beyond basic care by truly understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have a natural ability to read their body language and adapt to their moods, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medications, following specific dietary plans, or providing enriching playtime and walks, I tailor my approach to each dog’s routine. My calm and attentive demeanor helps even the most anxious dogs feel at ease, and I maintain clear communication with pet owners for peace of mind. Having cared for my own senior Pomeranian, Zeus, until he was 14, I am particularly attuned to the special needs of older dogs, including administering medications and adjusting routines for their comfort. I currently have an year and a half year old Yellow Labrador Retriever named cooper, so well experienced with puppies I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or just extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to be there consistently. I love getting outside for walks and making sure dogs stay mentally and physically happy while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, energy levels, and temperaments, including senior dogs and puppies. I always keep a close eye during walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment.
“I can't say thank you enough to Makaila for being so warm and welcoming especially for my first time using Rover. I was very anxious about a stranger being in our home visiting our 13y/o female Keeshond but I also couldn't imagine her being around a bunch of strange people and other dogs like what you'd get at a kennel/boarding house. Makaila was so patient with all my questions, concerns and requests. And my dog liked Makaila instantly at our meet and greet (as did my cats and 5y/o son!) I highly recommend her services to anyone. I know we look forward to having her care for our pets in the future.”
About: Hey there, dog lovers! We know leaving your pup behind is ruff, but that’s where I come in! I treat every four-legged friend like family—whether they’re zooming around the yard, enjoying belly rubs, or napping like a pro. With plenty of love, playtime, and tail wags guaranteed, you can relax knowing your fur baby is in good paws. So go ahead, enjoy your time away—we’ve got the snuggles and treats covered! I am a wedding photographer full time, so I'm at home 85% of the time and only gone on the weekends! That being said, I am a great daily drop-by option for anyone on weekdays or who needs a little extra help when life gets busy! Please check my schedule as I keep it very up to date and accurate for when I am available. I have access to a dog park, but the pups are treated like family - they can lounge and relax right next to me all day, and enjoy some fresh air on the balcony.
“Sidney was absolutely great! It was my first time using Rover and also the first time leaving my cat alone for so long. She made everything as smooth as possible and stress free, I was able to go on my trip knowing my cat will be taken care of. She provided regular updates and was very responsive to any questions I had. Upon my return, my cat was healthy and happy as ever. Definitely booking Sidney again if and when I need to leave on another trip!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for about six years and have experience with dogs, cats, and other pets. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with pet sitting, feeding, walks, playtime, and daily care. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, from energetic young animals to older pets that need a little extra attention. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and always do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is very flexible and I am generally available at most times. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and last minute bookings whenever needed. Disclaimer: Please note that I do not set my own rates for any additional charges, as those are automatically calculated by Rover based on my base rate. My base rate for house sitting is $40 per night. Additional charges may apply depending on your specific needs; however, these are typically lower than Rover’s standard adjustments. Feel free to reach out anytime, and I’ll be happy to provide you with an accurate, personalized quote for your booking.
About: I work remotely part time from home. Looking for extra income and more animals to adore. I help take care of family also. Long term and short term availability. Currently working at home part time. So lots of time. And have my own schedules with current animals, livestock, poultry and cats & dogs. Also some reptiles. I am working on sitting up a safe area for pets to be removed from my animals and then will be open for boarding. Unsure on the timeline of that

Our girls looked as though they had a great time with Rachel, the pictures she sent were great! Rachel picked up right where she left off since the last time she was with Millie & Minnie. We had a great time in Seattle because Rachel cared for them today. She’s in such high demand, I just hope she’s available the next time we need her.
