About: Update: We have adopted 7/7/26 a Shih-tzu 10lb. I raised both a Shih Tzu-Poodle mix and a Tibetan Terrier from puppies into their senior years. They were truly part of our family, and after losing them, I’m not emotionally ready to adopt again. (My daughter got a dog now-7/7/2026) Pet sitting feels like the perfect win-win your pets will be showered with love, attention, and care, while also bringing that special furry companionship back into our home. I’m experienced in daily pet care, including brushing and coat maintenance. Since both of our dogs had coats that matted easily, daily brushing and regular grooming were essential, and I personally maintained and trimmed their coats myself. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve pet sat for friends and family during vacations, often caring for their pets for weeks at a time. I also worked as a nanny for several years, where I regularly cared for a German Shepherd who became one of my favorites. We took daily walks to the park, and I helped maintain his coat, especially during shedding season. My love for animals began growing up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and frequent litters of puppies and kittens. Being able to witness and help care for animals from such a young age gave me a deep appreciation for them and taught me patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always care for them as if they were part of my own family. My schedule is very flexible, I work from home in the evenings, the timing is perfect for winding down, they can relax in my office while I work or in our living room or room. In my home: Safety is my top priority. I have a large, fully fenced backyard, that connect directly to our lower living area allowing for secure and easy access for potty breaks. For variety i can take them around our neighborhood for walks and can utilize a large park at a nearby school for additional play time. Pet not good on walks, NO PROBLEM: Having owned a Tibetan Terrier who was incredibly loving with family and children, but reactive to other dogs on walks I deeply understand that every dog is different. If a pet is anxious or not good on walks, we can stay withing our private back yard. In the clients home: I follow the owners established routines and instructions to keep the pet safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, including tailored neighborhood walks.

About: I've grown up with an array of animals and never stray from hard or dirty jobs. I am well versed in large and powerful dogs as they are all I have had growing up but that absolutely doesn't mean I won't take on the smaller ones. I have experience in home visits, walking, bathing, and ear cleaning to ensure your pet gets all the care they need! As of right now my schedule is wide open but eventually I will be needing to move to evening care. I will absolutely update and communicate when these needs change I want your pet to be the most comfortable they can be with me. If they need to be crated or need their own space I will be happy to oblige.
About: I’m a current dog mom to a 1 year old lab/black mouth curr and a 3 year old Yorky Chihuahua. Since I was a child i’ve always had a genuine love for all beings. I’ve worked with pets in the past when I was younger but as my daughter got older I adopted my first fur baby at 8 weeks who is now three years old and then adopted my second at 9 weeks old. My background working in the childcare, caregiving and Mental Health field has shaped my skills with being intentional during all moments while maintaining trust, patience, consistency and good communication. I believe in caring for all fur babies the same way I’d want mine to be loved and cared for during my most busiest days. With working part time I am looking for independent and intentional ways of expanding my skills in community service while utilizing my expertise as a dog parent to two. I hope to have to honor to be a service and community member to you and your family. I am currently working part time but I am available to flex my schedule Tailored to family needs. I am available for walks between weekends, mondays and fridays 11:30-3:00pm and I am currently available for in clients home care between 10:30am-330 pm mon-friday and weekends depending on client needs. I am very flexible I care for pets as if they are my own, whether if I’m in their home or if they’re in mine, I focus on safety exercise affection, clear communication, and paying attention to each pets unique personality as well as their needs. I also tend to use observation skills so that way I can identify changes in dogs behaviors to keep parents/owners updated. I enjoy making sure that all pets are safe, loved and comfortable no matter the location or time.

About: My family has had dogs and cats all my life, so I’ve been hanging with them for a while! When I was growing up, I would take care and watch my family and friends pets and I would love to continue doing that now! I’m currently a WWU student and home for the summer! I can care for pets before and after I work and am very open on most weekends! I am very well experienced with taking care of pets, like on walks, feeding, playing with, etc. I’m very active myself, so long walks/short walks I can do it all!
“Amazing sitter! It was our first time spending time away from our 2 cats. Mj made this experience so smooth and easy for us. Our cats were in such good hands. Mj made sure she met their special needs and followed their very specific food instructions. She was so gentle and caring with them. She respected our property, left everything clean and in place. She is so good at communicating, she let us know about every detail. She is also a great observant when it comes to heir behaviours as well. Im so happy that we found her. Will be working with her again! Thank you MJ!”
About: I want to provide the best experience and care for your pets! Whether it’s walks around the neighborhood, playing at the park, cuddles, etc. At the moment I’m not able to have a pet of my own, and miss the true companionship and joy that caring for them brings. It is truly fulfilling. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing that your pet is safe, comfortable, and happy! I work Sunday through Thursday and am available for pet care after 2 PM on those days. I have more flexibility for longer house sitting stays from Thursday afternoon through Saturday evening. I’m happy to work with your schedule! Every furry companion requires special care, unique to them! No dog or cat is the same. I follow all instructions for your pets with great detail.
About: I have taken care of dogs throughout my entire life, growing up with two of my own. What makes me special as a walker is my athletic ability to handle all types of dogs, and truly exercise your pet to guarantee their health when entrusted to me! I helped train my youngest dog, Mookie, and am ready to help out! I am currently training at Driveline Baseball, a facility in Kent, Washington. I have training sessions in the early afternoon, ranging from midday to around 5 at the latest. Pet care can fit into my daily routine at any other point in the day. I cannot care for pets in my home, but am happy to use a car to transport pets to parks for longer walks, use backyards if possible, and involve toys like rope for tug of war or a tennis ball to make sure your pet is thoroughly exercised.

Shelby was an excellent pet sitter! She was very communicative throughout the entire time, keeping me updated and giving me peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated how attentive and reliable she was, and it was clear my pet was well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Shelby to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and thoughtful to look after their pets.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
