“Becky has been so wonderful with my new puppy. Her communication is fantastic as well as the photos she sends of her! Poppy always loves her visits. It has made this transition of bringing a new puppy home so much less stressful!”

About: I am new to Rover, but have worked in the Animal Health Industry as a Veterinarian Technician (animal nurse) and outside sales/customer service for the past 30+ years. Along with the background check Rover provides, I also have a Business License and I am Insured/Bonded. Animal care is my only business/job. I have experience with most animals from reptiles to cattle and currently have a little 5 acre hobby farm with a horse, goats, chickens, dog and cat. I am very flexible with days you need pet care. My days are filled with animal care of my own/yours, walking/hiking, gardening and home/property projects. Your pets will be treated with great care while spending time with me. I have a gated 5 acre hobby farm with 1/2 acre fully fenced area around my home. My farm animals are fenced in separately for safety. I also have 3 acres of wooded trails/not fenced for leash walking. I am able to provide care and exercise depending on your pets needs and will only accept dogs that are not aggressive towards people or other dogs for a positive/fun experience. I have giant wire crates/bedding for night sleeping/feeding and can take up to 3 dogs. I would prefer same family, but may be some overlap with scheduling. Otherwise they will be spending time with me in my home and on my property. There are two large porches for either sunning or shade. I also have air conditioning. Please be up to date on vaccinations (including kennel cough), worming and monthly flea control. I live in a quiet/peaceful valley. Please no excessive barkers and bring their food, treats and special toys. If you have an older/well trained dog that would be happy sleeping in a dog bed at night, I can be accommodating. Especially, if I have no other dogs boarding here. Must have been crate trained at some point in their life. Waking up in the am to an intact couch is nice! 😊 Please allow enough time for a 1st time meet and greet prior to finalizing the booking. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family!

“Rebecca is amazing! I really appreciate her thoughtful notes and photos on the Rover cards. My pup clearly loves hanging out with her. Would love to have Rebecca watch my girl again!”

“Kadie is the best cat sitter we've ever had! She is super attentive, loves our kitties, and is in lots of communication. We are so lucky to have found her. Highly recommend :)”

About: I love all kinds of pets from furry ones to scaly! I’ve been house/pet sitting for over 10 years. I fall in love with every animal and care for them as if they are my own and your pets will be safe and adored while in my care! I’m currently working 7:30am-4pm Monday-Friday with open evening and weekend availability. If needed during the day, I work in Shelton and live in Littlerock so during the work week I am unavailable for at least 8 hours in the daytime. I would prefer to care for your pets at their home so that they’re most comfortable! I do have two cats and a big dog so caring for yours at my home would be on a case by case basis. But I am willing to travel to make sure your babies are provided the most consistent care.

“Toni was very good. I highly recommend her. She sent pictures of them and they looked very happy!”

Shaun W.

“We had a wonderful experience. He took such thoughtful care of our dog and was incredibly flexible when our timing shifted. He also handled a little accident with complete kindness, which meant a lot to us. Our dogs were happy, calm, and clearly well loved. Highly recommend!”

Alejandra S.

“Rayann did a great job taking care of Terabyte and Rafiki while we we went on a couple back to back trips. She was very accommodating of our cats' needs and was willing to be flexible with some of the scheduling. Would highly recommend booking her to take care of your babies! 🐱🐶”

About: I've worked with a variety of animals throughout my life and dogs have taken up the majority of that experience. I've lived with dogs and cats my whole life, helped neighbors with their animals, both with house visits and making sure their animal friends get proper exercise. I just finished working at a dog and cat kennel that I was with for a year before starting college, there I learned how to handle every size dog, proper grooming, styling, exerciseing, training, behavior modification and observation, medication treatments and how too handle emergency situations. I'm at student at The Evergreen State College and currently have classes three days a week, I'm looking to work with animals while I learn more about them. I'm very flexible and can work with your needs. I will ensure your animal friends have a proper and comfy place while your gone, insuring your pets have a good climate, don't get too cold or too warm. I will wash and refill both the food and water when needed, provide brushing for dogs with longer coats. Take them outside if allowed for backyard runs, play time, emotional support and supervision. Clients can choose to recieve updates on their pets by text, call, or email. Applies for dogs, cats and any other animal you may have.

“Alisha thinks of everything.”

“My GSD did very well with Emma, she came over on time for the scheduled visits and even stayed a little later to make sure he was potties before bed. My boy is very active and I really appreciate all the play he got. I will be looking to book Emma for future care, thank you!”

Sarah M.

“On time, took care of the dogs.”

About: I have a deep well of patience, understanding and affection for your pet. When I am interacting with a dog or cat, they recieve my sole and loving attention. I can't wait to meet yours! I am a retired teacher so I have a lot of management skills and am supremely responsible. I am a retired teacher so I have a ton of time. I am moving from managing teen agers to having loving interactions with pets. I am a single woman in my 50's with no pets of my own, so I am very available to care for your animals. Since I have been back in the USA after teaching overseas for years, I have taken care of and house sat for many people who were pleased with my services. I would love to get to know your animals and make them feel safe and secure while you are gone!

“Lisa definitely lived up to the other glowing reviews. She visited our house daily to feed, water and take care of the litter box for our two cats. She is reliable and even made friends with our often-shy Siamese kitty. We appreciated the daily pictures and reports cards while we were away on our week-long trip. We would highly recommend Lisa for your away pet-sitting needs! Hopefully she will still be providing here excellent services the next time we take a trip to visit family.”

Carolyn W.

“We are very pleased with the care Lilly received from Niles and Noella this weekend. Lilly is an elderly lady and they were very kind to her and considerate of her needs. The Rover report cards they sent helped to assuage any anxiety I had about leaving her alone for the weekend. I highly recommend them.”

About: With over 30 years of experience as a pet owner of both cats and dogs, I’ve naturally transitioned into pet sitting and house sitting for others—starting with friends and family, and growing through word of mouth to care for pets of friends of friends. I’m a lifelong animal lover who takes pride in providing loving, reliable care for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s a short visit or a long-term stay, I follow instructions carefully, maintain a clean and tidy environment, and prioritize clear, consistent communication with pet owners for total peace of mind. I currently work weekends only 12-8pm in Olympia so I am free around those hours and all week long! I am available for drop ins as well as overnight stays. I take great pride in caring for my 11-year-old rescue cat in my apartment, creating a calm and nurturing environment tailored to her needs. From maintaining a clean, cozy space to providing regular meals, playtime, and gentle affection, I ensure she feels secure and loved every day. This same level of attentiveness and compassion extends to the pets I care for in other people’s homes. I prioritize each animal’s comfort and routine, while respecting the owner's space and preferences, fostering a sense of safety and trust. Whether it's feeding, administering medication, or offering companionship, I approach every pet with patience, reliability, and genuine care.
