“Brooke is such a wonderful person and blessing to us. Brutus and I are so glad we found her. She takes great care of my best friend and it shows. I am hesitant to write this review, I’m not sure we can share her :) She’s easy to chat with, punctual and even gives my my guy his snackies before going out the door. We appreciate her and think she’s the best.”

About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m a Midwest girl originally from Chicago who now calls the beautiful Pacific Northwest home! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I couldn’t imagine life without them! As a proud pet parent to two dogs and two cats, I understand just how much our furry companions mean to us. I also have firsthand experience caring for senior pets, so I know the importance of patience, attentiveness, and a little extra TLC as our furry friends get older. Whether your pup loves long walks, outdoor adventures, or simply curling up for some cuddles, I’m happy to accommodate their individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and of course, I’m a huge cat lover, too! I’m friendly, dependable, flexible, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving, attentive hands. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! 🐶🐱💕 My schedule is pretty flexible and happy to work with many schedules. Just shoot me a message and we can figure something out. Let’s chat! I am currently not caring for pets in my home as I have a small apartment with 4 pets already. I am happy to care for pets in their own home, and follow their normal schedule. I am very accommodating and súper flexible. Let’s chat!

“I highly recommend having Paul watch your family pet. My little Ava fell in love with him. He was thorough in his visits, gave so much affection to Ava, sent photos on walks, playing outside, and just relaxing on the sofa. This was her first Rover experience and it was magnificent. Thank you Paul!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life—dogs, cats, and even small animals—so providing loving care for animals is second nature to me. I began pet and house sitting through Rover in the summer of 2025, and I bring a lifetime of experience as a responsible and compassionate caregiver. As a seasoned educator, I’m deeply attuned to the needs of others—both human and animal! I know how to create calm, safe, and nurturing environments, and I approach each pet with patience, kindness, and respect for their unique personalities and routines. I’m especially mindful of the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and care for your pets. I bring that responsibility seriously and with gratitude. Whether your pets need a cozy companion, a gentle walk, or a calm presence while you’re away, I’m here to help them feel loved and secure.

About: Two sitters, one booking. While we also love small dogs and purebreds, big dogs (especially pitties) are very welcome! Hi, we’re Maggie and Mark, a Tacoma couple offering house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks in your home. We don’t board dogs at ours. Our experience We’ve pet-sat informally for years. We’ve also fostered and done dog transport with Lucky Paws and Red Waggin’. Mark has done most of the transport: moving dogs between kennels and fosters, to vet appointments, and on south-to-north shelter pipeline runs. Our fostering has mostly been short-term, so we’ve met many dogs with very different temperaments, including an 80-pound German Shepherd puppy with energy to spare. Our own dogs were seniors for much of our time with them. Hank was very anxious, so we’ve learned a lot about calming nervous dogs. Our last dog could barely walk in her final weeks, so we’re comfortable with hands-on senior care, including carrying a 50-pound dog. About us and dogs Piper, our pitty, started as a foster and stayed. She passed away this fall, and we’re not ready to adopt again yet. We have no other dogs at home, so your dog gets all the attention, and we get our dog fix. • Overnights: We both stay in most cases. • Time out: If we’re both out, it’s usually no more than about 4 hours. • Maggie: Usually free until 5. • Mark: He guides tours. In the off season his charters are in the afternoon, and he’s home by 9. • Tour season: Early April to mid-October, so ask us about specific dates. • Messages: Either of us will answer, usually within the hour. • Experience: Years of informal pet-sitting, plus fostering and transport with Lucky Paws and Red Waggin’. • Senior and anxious dogs: Our last two dogs were seniors for much of our time with them. We’ve calmed an anxious dog, and we’ve given hands-on mobility care, including carrying a 50-pound dog. • Medication: Oral only, no injections. • Can’t take: Dogs with a bite history, or dogs with severe separation anxiety who can’t be left alone at all. • Updates: As many photos and videos as you want. • Home care: Happy to bring in mail, water plants, take out the trash, and leave your home clean. • Environment: We sit in your home, not ours. Because we have no other dogs at home, your dog has our full attention.

About: I've taken care of sick or terminally ill animals including diabetes, cancer, amputation, torn ligaments. I have lots of experience administering meds if needed. I am familiar with many local hikes and great places to walk the doggies. I am mindful of food allergies or triggers and will respect them. I work full-time with a flexible schedule and I work from home regularly. I can usually respond to your pet needs on short notice. We lost both our dog and cat to cancer recently and I would love to spend some time with yours! I am always mindful of ensuring dogs are leashed if outside the property, cats are kept inside if needed. I am always up for long walks, but I also enjoy just hanging out with an animal and giving them attention or playing games to stimulate their minds.

About: Hi, I'm Alison. As long as I can remember furry friends have been a part of my family. Growing up we consistently had between two and three dogs and a cat. When I was around 12 years old, my neighbors got a new Cocker Spaniel puppy named Abby. Because both of her owners worked during the day, they hired me to pick Abby up in the morning and take her back to my house to play, go for walks, and be cared for. I fell in love with Abby and developed a strong relationship with her owners. Until I moved away for college, they hired me to watch Abby and housesit for them whenever they went out of town. In addition, I was recommended to other families and was able to meet and care for dogs of many different breeds. Dog sitting and dog walking never felt like a job to me because of how much I adore spending time with animals. I never get tired of exploring new areas of nature with my family's dog, cuddling on the couch with my cat, and meeting new furry friends wherever I go. I am currently working part-time as a chemistry tutor so I have a flexible schedule. Now that the weather is warm, I'm looking forward to getting outside more! I live in a second-story duplex with direct access to a completely fenced-in back yard. My downstairs neighbors have a small dog who is mostly indoors.

Allycen did an amazing job watching my two Devon rexes. She is an amazing communicator and let me know exactly how they were and the interactions which was especially important as one of my cats has FIP. She gave them a lot of attention and cuddles which they love. I’m very grateful

Kimberly was really kind and responsive. I was anxious about booking a rover for the first time ever and when I saw her profile I knew the found the one. The pictures she sent were great. I love that she took pictures of my pets food and water, so that we had that extra reassurance that they had everything they needed.

Once again, Holly took such amazing care of my two beloved kitties. She is very much on top of everything and so communicative every step of the way. She takes amazing pictures of my babies for me to see while I am away (my favorite part). But the kitties favorite part are all the cuddles and play time that they get with her during their visits. I’ll continue to reserve Holly for future cat sitting needs as long as she is available. 🐾

Carrie had a great visit with my two cats! She did a wonderful job checking in to feed lunch, give treats and opened up our catio for them to enjoy. I really appreciated her fast communication when booking the visit, detailed notes on the report, and lots of pictures. Both cats seemed super comfortable with her, which is a big deal especially because one of them tends to be kind of shy. Would absolutely recommend her and will be booking again. Thank you so much Carrie!
