“I was really nervous about using Rover and someone I didn't know to care for my dogs and my house but am very pleased with Robin's service. The dogs were well cared for and the house was spotless when we returned home. Robin is very sweet, reliable, caring and conscientious person. I will definitely use her again.”
“Mandy is was amazing with our dogs! She provides daily updates with photos. She provides exceptional care to our boys even making a trip to the vet! We can’t say enough good words about Mandy and would highly recommend her services to anyone!”
“Becky knew what to do for Ready’s separation anxiety! He was a happy puppy when I got home. Becky is a good communicator and my dog loves her! I’ll ask her to come again.”
“First time using an online dog/house sitting app. Cassandra was absolutely amazing. 10/10. We won’t be going back to friends/friends kids to house sit for us. Super nice adult, just who you want to be in your house with your pets while you are away. Great communication. Kept us updated every day and with fun pictures of the adventures she took our two dogs on. And boy did they get spoiled! Walks, trips to the park, wash and brush, really above and beyond. The house was immaculate upon our return as well. She was happy to water plants and feed the chickens and collect eggs etc. Again, amazing. If you need a sitter, and Cassandra is available, do not think twice.”
“Madison was a wonderful house sitter for our dog and two cats. Communicating with her is a breeze because she asks good questions and responded quickly to any questions we had. After she came to our place to meet the pets and walk through what a normal day looks like with them, I felt totally comfortable with her staying in our home and watching our pets. I highly recommend her and will ask her to watch our pets again!”

“Alison was great! She helped out with a last minute booking, and was able to squeeze us in. Cooper seemed to really like her. Alison was quick to reply and sent updates of their day together. I'll definitely look to rebook with her in the future!”
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.
“Brett did a fantastic job taking care of my dog while we were out of town. We had an emergency with our original sitter and he came to the rescue last minute. He spend lots of time with my dog and kept in consistent communication with us.”
“Chloe watched my pups again for us! She left the house cleaner then when she came. The pups were happy. She played with them, cuddled them, and took them for walks! Will definitely be using her again next time we need a sitter! Thank you for everything Chloe!”
“Bryan was fantastic with our dog! She was well looked after and he left our house clean and in good shape at the end of the sitting visit. We highly recommend Bryan and would use him again.”
About: I luckily was able to grow up on a farm where I was around horses, sheep, dogs and cats all throughout my childhood and young adulthood. I feel comfortable being about to sense what an animal needs and how to make them feel more as ease. I am a very active person and if you have an active dog, can get them out on adventure hikes. I work part-time and from home a lot of days. I am mostly home on the weekends and can be available with advance notice for any day or holiday. I have an apartment where dogs or cats can roam and are allowed on the bed. As I am home for much of the day they can be comforted that I am there and let out on frequent potty breaks.

Rory R.
“Rory is a truly a wonderful, responsible pet caregiver. I've been on a walk with Rory to socialize a dog and what sets her apart from other caregivers is her attention and compassion for animals. During our walk we had an unfortunate encounter with a ground hornets nest. I watcher Rory, first hand, pull hornets out the dog's coat before I could even register what was happening. She is always on the lookout for pet safety. Rory is also very communicative and engaged. Expect wonderful pet pictures from her outings! If you’re looking for someone responsible, kind, and genuinely caring, I highly recommend Rory. Your dog will thank you!”

It is clear that she is an expert in caring for animals. We were so happy to find someone we can trust with our dogs and we hope to have her dog sit for us again in the future!
Madeline did an amazing job! We have three cats and a dog all with very specific needs and she did a great job handling them and all their quirks. She even managed to gain the trust of our very shy cats in a short amount of time. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!
I could not be happier with Lauren for how she cared for my dog! I have a reactive border collie mix, so I always stress when having to leave her, especially with someone new. Lauren did a meet and greet and was great about letting Marlowe meet her on her terms. Lauren took care of Marlowe for one week and provided daily updates and photos. She was patient with Marlowe, respected her boundaries, and took her time with letting Marlowe get comfortable with her and build a foundation of trust. Lauren spent a great amount of time being home with Marlowe and playing with her daily. Seeing pictures and videos of my baby being a happy girl while missing her was something I appreciate so much. I immediately requested Lauren to watch Marlowe again for my next trip. It is such a relief to have found someone who I can trust with my special girl and her unique needs!
Izzy put us at ease knowing our fur babies were taken care of the way they deserve while we were across the country. We just moved here so we wanted someone we could really trust and Izzy more than delivered! We will absolutely use her again in the future. If you are a crazy dog mom like me, look no further you’ve found the right person to care for your pet(s)!
Kui is so great. She takes wonderful care of our dogs, meeting them where their needs are. She’s a terrific communicator. We were gone for two weeks and I never worried about our dogs because I knew she was taking care of them (she also alerted us when our house started acting up!). Thank you so much, Kui!
Alison was fantastic! She was very communicative and took excellent care of Nook while we were away. He was clearly happy and well cared for, and she kept him calm and comfortable during the Fourth of July fireworks, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend!
Bryan was great. He immediately hit it off with our two dogs with his relaxed yet fun demeanor. And we loved the periodic updates and photos he sent while we were gone. He took care of our house and left it in perfect shape. Most importantly, the dogs were happy and healthy when we returned.
Grace is so kind and responsive! She was flexible with our needs and had no problems with our event ending earlier than planned. One of our dogs is afraid of meeting new people, but he warmed up to Grace immediately which put my mind at ease. Would absolutely work with her again!
