“John did great, absolutely zero complaints. Took care of the feeding, play and walk perfectly. Great photos, it was clear he took good care of our lad. Our first choice if we need help in the future!”


“Christina was amazing! Super communicative and I felt so at ease having her take care of my fur babies. I really loved the full report cards. She also listened to my concerns and made sure they were addressed every day in her check in. I could not have asked for a better sitter and will be reaching out to her in the future!”


“Isabella was so wonderful with our cat, Lily! Our cat is very timid with strangers but she warmed right up to Isabella. She was amazing at communicating and sending photos. We have found our new cat sitter and will definitely be booking again. Can’t recommend her enough!!”


About: I've had dogs my whole life and had such a love for them. I have my 14 year old diabetic dog, Java, that has taught me much, helped me grow and made me experienced with senior and special needs dogs. Through my love and patience I will provide the best care for your baby while you are away and treat them like my own. I work full time but my schedule allows me to have long 3-5 day weekends. I'm usually home with my dog Java who is on a very fixed schedule to accommodate her special needs. We have a home with A/C that will keep your pets cool in the hot months. We also have a fenced yard so your dog can safely run and play. Our yard also connects to a public park that is great for dog walks.

“Harley has done an amazing job keep us up to date on our two cats while we are overseas! She is watching our cats over an extended period and I highly recommend her. Harley is also keeping us updated on our plants. It's challenging to travel with pets at home but we feel so much more comfortable knowing she is watching our fur babies.”


“Eric was very thorough with his visit recaps and took very good care of my dog. He always arrived at my house at our agreed time, gave her medicine and hung out with her while she ate dinner as she is sometimes an anxious lady. I will definitely use Eric's services again in the future as my doggy was in such good care with him!”


“I had to take a last minute trip, and Laura saved me! She did a great job, went above and beyond, and I’m very lucky to have been able to book with her. Thanks so much Laura!”


“This is our third time using Kevin when we were away. Kevin is very accommodating and easy to work with. We came home with a healthy and happy puppy! Highly recommend Kevin!”


“Jeannie was awesome! She came at nearly the exact time we agreed on, I got tons of pictures every day (really good ones I might add!) and when I came home I actually think my cat was disappointed! She kept waiting for me to play with her and I even think photograph her! ?. I am definitely going to use Jeannie in the future!”


About: I've always loved animals, but was unable to have my own for the most part growing up. So whenever possible, and frequently after I got my license as a teenager, I would petsit. Whether an animal has fur, scales, or feathers, I will happily love and care for them. I am good at following instructions and adapting to give an animal the care that's best for them as an individual, so please share all those little details that matter. I look forward to making new animal friends! I am newer to Washington, so most of the animals I would pet sit for are in a different state. Lately, I've been deprived of the fulfillment and joy that comes with caring for animals. So I would love to build a new client base up here. My schedule is fairly flexible, so I am ready to fill it with walks, play, and care! I customize care based on an individual's needs and preferences. In the past, that has included staying with and giving my undivided attention to a dog that had seizures, while giving his humans updates and knowing the plan if we needed to make a trip to the vet. I've also cared for a sweet old pitbull who got dog dementia. I have given prescriptions to dogs, cats, and other animals that needed it. I'm also more than willing to provide updates to those who struggle with being away from their animal friend.

“Sarah was really easy to work with - very quick response times, very flexible, and reliable. Our cat was happy to have a friendly face while we were out of town during the holidays!”


About: Nick and I have both had dogs throughout most of our lives! We have had Pepper now for almost 9 years and we know how important it is to find a pet sitter that is a great fit. We use Rover for Pepper when we go out of town and are excited to provide the same services to other dog lovers. Pepper is high energy so we go on lots of walks, hikes, and trips to the back/waterfront. Pepper gets along with any dog, big or small, young or old, lazy or energetic. I currently work from home and Nick gets home from work early around 2:00pm each day, if I ever am out and about. If we are home, Pepper is outside constantly in our fully fenced back yard or fully fenced front yard. The longest we would ever leave your pup home alone would be about 5 hours, but we can make other arrangements if needed! We provide lots of outside time beyond those hours and can be pretty adaptable to whatever your pet might need. Your dog will have a great time playing with Pepper during her time at our home! We have a large fenced backyard and a fenced front yard. We always keep a close eye on our dogs, even though the yard is fenced. We prefer to only watch one dog at a time for the best care, but can watch more than one dog if they are from the same family. Pepper roams freely in our home and is allowed on all furniture, but we have also watched dogs before who are crate trained. We look forward to meeting your dog and learning all about them!

About: I have walked, home sat, and just visited with friends dogs and cats on and off over the past 20 years. I have also had a few different cats over my lifetime, and had a golden retriever several years back. I have pet sat and walked small to medium dogs including smaller dogs that have had some difficulties walking. A couple of the dogs I have taken care of were senior dogs that enjoyed walks though needed patience time and sometimes being carried home due to their limitations. One pup in particular, a Frenchie has had a difficult start to her life, she had lost an eye, has hip problems and is partially blind in her one eye. She has the energy and excitement of a puppy her age normally does, but also can become skittish quickly due to noises or people and feeling threatened due to her lack of visual range. She loves walks but sometimes doesn't know when it's best to turn back and gets to a point where she refuses to move, and gets carried home. She also has some particular dietary needs that requires patience and care to make sure she eats and that the food stays down. I am currently doing mostly online freelance work that can be done anywhere as long as I have internet available along with a part-time job. It is also work that can be set aside and picked up easily enough so that I can work between any pet care, and set it aside when a pet needs attention. Times I will be at a PT job and unavailable: - Mon, Wed, Fri: 1pm - 8pm - Sat: 9am - 1pm I am currently open to caring for pets at their own homes. I am open to any arrangement that the owner has setup and prefers for their own pet. I want to make sure to stick with any schedule that a pet has to try to reduce any stress from changes in scheduling.
