“Ryenne was fantastic with my brood. I was a little nervous going into the sit since we had only had time to do a video call intro, but she more than exceeded my expectations and I had one of the most relaxing weekends away in years. truly. I didn’t have to worry about a thing plus…she washed the sheets so I didn’t come home to a pile of laundry. But the main thing is that my beasts were super well-cared for and happy. Thank you!!!!”

“Alyssa was fantastic. She was able to watch my girl on super short notice, was professional, and great at communicating! I loved getting pictures of my pup while I was away and felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands”

“We came home to happy animals and a very tidy house. Megan was very communicative during the entire stay. Definitely had a peace of mind knowing she was taking care of the fuzzy ones.”

About: I always grew up with pets in my home and loved all of them so much. I have been on Rover for a good amount of time now, having experience with all kinds of dogs, understanding that they have their own unique needs. I am a student athlete trying to make money for college by doing what I love. My schedule changes from week to week but I’m always available 8:00am-3:00pm (unless I’m booked). Most of my regulars need walks around 12:00, so that’s usually booked, but I’m looking for new clients that need regular walks before or after 12. Like for example: at 11:00 or 2:00. I do later walks too just not regularly. Since I currently don’t have any pets I will care for your cat/dog as if they are my own with lots of love. I will gladly send picture and video updates of your pet. I’m here because I genuinely love pets.
“Lisa watched our two dogs while we were overseas for two weeks on vacation and we highly recommend her! She sent plenty of pictures, kept us updated throughout the stay, left the house clean and most importantly took good care of our dogs! We will definitely be booking Lisa for stays in the future.”

“Kelsie took great care of our home and our German Shepherd, Tigger, while we were out of town for 6 days. We will be booking her again for sure. Tigger can’t wait for us to go on Vacation again!”

“Hannah did a great job for us taking care of our pups and our home. Murphy and Miley seemed very happy and well cared for and our home was as clean as when we left! I wouldn’t hesitate to have Hannah back on our next trip! Thank you Hannah!”

“Briana and Jamal were so amazing at taking care of our dog and home while we were away. They sent lots of updates that showed our clearly very happy dog having the time of his life. They helped him with his medical needs as well. We will definitely ask them to sit for us again!”

“Absolutely fantastic! First time we have left our pets at home for so long and it was so nice knowing that Allen was watching them. Highly recommend and will book again.”

About: Hello! My name is Destiny and I am a Tacoma local. My previous experience pet sitting includes time with dogs and cats. My first experience taking care of pets was in a long-term care situation, which required medication administration, walks, playtime, and potty cleanups. I am the proud owner of two cats and would love a dog of my own, but my current apartment does not allow this. So taking care of someone else's dogs seems like the next best thing! Looking forward to nice walks and playtime! I currently work from home so my schedule is somewhat flexible. Depending on what the arrangements are I can take doggos out for walks 1-2x throughout the day and am completely free after work at 5 pm. Flexible with needs if communicated ahead of time and willing to meet beforehand to discuss pets needs. I don't offer boarding in my home as I live in an apartment with two cats. More than happy to meet at clients home to play outside or inside, depending on levels of trust.
“Outstanding house sitting care for my 10 year old Korean Jindo who still is very active. She clearly bonded very well and communicated with us often including sending pics of my dog happily doing different things. The house looked very clean and tidy when we returned. She will be our pick again.”

“Angel is truly the best. He is great with our dogs. Angel plays and entertains our Golden Retriever, Parker. He is especially good with our 14.5-year-old Lhasa Apso, TJ. TJ is very much a senior with several medical conditions. Angel works with TJ well, adapts to his ever-changing needs/demands and gives TJ massages that help with his mobility. I HIGHLY recommend Angel.”
“Michael watched our 3 dogs and 2 cats in our home - which is a lot! He was extremely responsive, respectful of our home, and attentive to the pets. He took them out on walks multiple times a day. And his ability to be with the pets almost 24/7 was a huge perk. Will absolutely be booking with him again!”
“Brianna was very sweet. She came over for a meet and greet before we booked. She was attentive and asked great questions about caring for my dog. She was incredibly responsive and kept me posted on how things were going while I was gone. She left the house spotless! We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Misao is amazing, my pups really took to her and were extremely well taken care of while we were out of town for our son’s wedding. She communicated frequently and sent to us a lot of pictures, letting us know what was going on with the dogs and our home. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Khaytlen took amazing care of my Labradors while we were away on vacation! She was super communicative. She sent lots of photos and updates and she was very kind to humans and puppers!! Very trustworthy. Will book again for future needs! Thanks Khaytlen!!”

“Cookie had a great time with Sarah - walks, playing, and snuggling. Sarah is easy to communicate with and kept us updated on Cookie while we were away. We felt at ease with her housesitting while we were away.”

“Yvette was amazing with Penelope! Penelope is 16 and she can be picky with people, and she loved Yvette. Yvette was kind and gentle with her. We will be having Yvette come again!”
