“Krista is amazing! She is super sweet and took amazing care of my doggie :) she was communicative and willing to give Juno his medicine. He gets anxious when we leave, but when we got home, he seemed healthy and happy, as if we never left. Absolutely recommend Krista!”
“This was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving our puppy for more than a short time. It was a great experience. Cathleen was responsive and responsible; we knew our little guy was in good hands.”
“Jacob has been wonderful. Frenchie and Mookie just love his company. The photos have been heartwarming to see as we’ve been away. The dogs are happy and I’ve been happy. Jacob’s communication has been too notch. Thank you, Jacob.”
“Zoe did a great job watching my 7 month old kitten! This was the first time she’d been left alone, so I was a bit nervous, but Zoe gave her plenty of love and play while I was gone.”
“Miranda is prompt in communication, timely, and caring. She puts in the effort and time to take good care of my cats. My cats all enjoyed being with her. She alap takes the time in taking care of your home/house. And I would definitely recommend her and work with her again!”
About: I work remotely as a RN, which gives me flexibility to care for your animal and home during the day and night. I have 30 years experience with horses, dogs, cats, and a variety of other farm animals. I’m comfortable with care of puppies to seniors and those with medical needs. My typical day M-F has work meetings and projects. This allows for flexibility to play with your pet, offer snuggles, and get outside! Weekends are low key for me and can generally flex to make things work best for your needs. I currently don’t have any animals of my own and would love to focus on yours! If I’m house sitting and your pup or kitty likes field trips and mixing things up, and it’s appropriate, we may go on a safe adventure . We sometimes stop over to my place and hike the forest next door , or some other cool trail on the island , or perhaps hit the beach, or a dog friendly store for treats. Otherwise we stick to your neighborhood and routine.
About: With over 15 years of active pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of caring for animals, I bring compassion, playful attentiveness, and calm confidence to every home I visit. In 2024, I spent four months road-tripping across the U.S., housesitting along the way and caring for 7 cats and 14 dogs in 10 households—ranging widely in breed, age, temperament, and needs. This experience left me especially comfortable quickly building trusting relationships with new animals and adapting to their individual personalities. I have extensive experience with medically complex pets, including administering pills and liquid medications, giving injections, and providing wound care. I understand the importance of consistent routines, detailed observation, and gentle handling when working with animals who require special attention. Whether caring for playful puppies, senior cats, or anything in between, I offer dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I work four days a week, Thurs-Sun in the afternoon and evening. On work days, I am available in the morning and late-evening. Mon-Wed I have full availability for all types of care. I prioritize safety and active stimulation for my own pets and those I care for. In addition to maintaining feeding schedules and security, I make sure those animals in my care receive exercise and mental stimulation, depending on their needs.
“Michelle was amazing for our two cats. Meeting waa easy to arrange and hand off the keys and information. The cats did great- well fed and fresh water, litter box clean. Good communication whenever we asked. Very reliable and knowledgeable and we highly recommend. We felt very comfortable with Michelle’s care.”
“Mel went above and beyond for us and our cat, even coming over last minute to help us out with something. We will absolutely be using her services again. She was so communicative and Derby loves her!”
“Jennifer is amazing!! She has watched my cat before and I felt so much better leaving town, knowing she was going to be there to check in. Jennifer sends detailed notes about how your animal is doing and sends great pictures. Highly recommend going with Jennifer for her services!”
“Dawn was exceptionally persistent when cat sitting my misbehaving Muffin. Spilled her treats on the floor then ate much more than usually allowed only to toss them up later for Dawn to clean up. 🙀 She also had to hide the feather fishing rod as kitty fetched it from top of bookcase and tore it up. Bad -kitty all around.”
About: I have always LOVED animals. I grew up with two English bulldogs, so I have lots of experience with bulldog care. I volunteer at Animal Friends Alliance, a shelter in Fort Collins, so I also have experience with endless breeds and ages of dogs. I love going on walks and runs, so I would love to walk an active pup. I also love watching movies and taking it easy, so I also love more chill pups! I currently am applying for jobs and completing some marketing projects. This makes me very available to provide endless exercise and care for your dog or cat! I take pet walking very seriously, so your dogs' safety is my top priority. During walks, I stay away from other dogs and know how to redirect reactive dogs as well.
“Kalea was a fantastic sitter for my cat while I was out of town. She was easy to contact, did everything I needed, and my cat was very well taken care of when I returned from my trip!!”
“Erin is kind and professional, and a great listener and communicator. She was prompt and my dogs absolutely loved her, including my anxious dog who is not quick to trust. Erin made sure to ask questions about their care which I highly appreciated.”
About: During my pet sitting experience, I had the privilege of caring for a variety of animals, each with their own unique personalities and needs. I ensured that each pet felt comfortable and safe while their owners were away. My daily routine included feeding, administering medication if necessary, and providing plenty of playtime and exercise. I also made sure to follow any specific instructions from the pet owners, whether it was a special diet or a preferred walking route. I am currently free after 5 pm during the weekdays or all day on the weekends! If you need someone to stop by in the middle of the day I can do that too. In a client's home, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s daily routine as closely as possible. I follow the feeding schedule, administer any medications as needed, and engage in their usual activities, such as walks, playtime, or cuddling. I also make sure the home is secure, keeping doors and gates closed, and ensuring their safety during outdoor activities. Additionally, I regularly update the pet owner with photos or messages to let them know how their pet is doing. Whether in my home or the client’s, I make it a priority to give each pet personalized care and attention, ensuring they are comfortable, happy, and well cared for.
About: When neighbors or friends need a dog sitter, I always raise my hand! I love long walks, playing fetch and canine cuddles. I have experience with all ages (young pup to senior). I am taking time to figure out my next professional chapter. While I do that, I have lots of time to put energy into something I love: being with animals. I'm well-versed in using multiple-dog-lead leashes, spending quality time with pets, and being bad cop when a fur baby tries to get an extra feeding.
“The scheduled walk and drop-in visit went very smoothly. My pup normally experiences separation anxiety when I'm away for longer periods of time. Tonight she is very relaxed and mellow. Thank you!”
“Jeremy has been an amazing dog sitter for my drop-in visits! He’s always great at communicating and consistently keeps me updated with pictures, which gives me peace of mind while I’m away. My dog can be a bit wary of new people, but Jeremy was incredibly patient and took the time to build trus which I really appreciate. It’s clear he genuinely cares about animals, and I feel confident knowing my pup is in good hands with him. Highly recommend!”

Bainbridge Island pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mel and Kelly were very thoughtful and caring cat sitters. We met Mel in person before we left so that we could introduce her to Arwen (Kelly was out of town). They came regularly each day, followed all the care instructions that we left, provided fun pictures and videos, took in our mail, and left the house clean and tidy! We appreciated the extra mile that Mel and Kelly went to make sure Arwen felt cared for. Specifically, Arwen tends to hide from strangers, so the first time Kelly came to care for Arwen (with Mel), she hid the whole time. Mel made another attempt later in the day to check in on Arwen. With patience and being sensitive to her scaredy-cat ways, Arwen warmed up to both of them, which made us feel much better leaving her in their care during this trip. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again in the future!
This was my second time having Kalea watch my cat and she was great as always! She was very communicative and sent a detailed message and photos with every visit. She’s always responsive to requests and is very proactive in making sure my cat has everything he needs. Kalea is the best!
Krista is amazing! She is super sweet and took amazing care of my doggie :) she was communicative and willing to give Juno his medicine. He gets anxious when we leave, but when we got home, he seemed healthy and happy, as if we never left. Absolutely recommend Krista!

Spilled her treats on the floor then ate much more than usually allowed only to toss them up later for Dawn to clean up. 🙀 She also had to hide the feather fishing rod as kitty fetched it from top of bookcase and tore it up.
