“Lizz made our elder kitty, Bella, feel very comfortable during our absence. She sent messages and photos after every visit. Bella always lets us know when we return if she is stressed by her experience. This was NOT the case during this trip. Thanks Lizz for all your care.”

“Jenna has been the best sitter I’ve used yet!! She was wonderful at following the instructions I left out, and asked many questions which I really appreciated. My two kittys loved her and really seemed to have a blast playing with her. Even my shy little guy was greeting her at the door! She eased so much of my anxiety leaving them for a weekend, I cannot thank her enough!”

About: I have pet sit off and on since high school, and have had many different pets growing up. I specialize with cats, including anxious or ones needing medication. I am currently in college, and class time varies between days, but outside of class and especially on the weekends I have plenty of time and energy. Walks with dogs are long and steady, easily lasting 45+ minutes rain or shine. When working with cats, I like to keep it low energy, plenty of lap time if they would like and toys when they ask!

“We knew within the first 60 seconds of Azure's meet & greet with our pups that they would be in good hands. She was immediately comfortable with our feisty little dog and by the time she left the short visit, both dogs were in love with her. Azure was very communicative, responsible and caring. We recommend her highly.”

“She was absolutely wonderful! Attentive, communicative, and so thoughtful about sending pictures of my kitties, just as I’d asked. One of my cats decided to take it upon himself to demolish a potted plant while I was away, and Willow cleaned up the whole mess without hesitation—and rescued my plant. When I got home, both of my kitties were happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking with her again.”

“This is the first time I've used Rover and was happy to have Emily as our three cats' sitter! She did a great job caring for them - following the instructions I left and going above and beyond when our older kitty became finicky with her food. I appreciated receiving daily pictures of the kitties and a comment from Emily. It helped me to know the kitties were being well taken care of. I like Emily's attention to detail, too. When I arrived home, the kitties appeared happy and relaxed. I plan to reach out to Emily for future pet-sitting.”

About: Happy Trails & Wagging Tails Hello, I'm Jess, and I love being outdoors just as much as your dog does. If there's a trail to hike, a route to run, or a bike path to cruise, I would love to have your four-legged friend along for the adventure. Why your pup will have a blast: Your dog won't be stuck on the couch while you're away. Depending on their energy level and age, they'll get adventurous runs and hikes, a fun fetch playtime, or a gentle walk around the block, and of course plenty of cuddles when it's time to wind down. I'll happily match your dog's pace, whether that's a trail-loving athlete or a laid-back senior who prefers a sniffari-stroll. Why you can trust me: For the past 5 years, I've been caring for my friends' dogs, from quick walks and feeding check-ins to long overnight stays. I'm comfortable sticking to your dog's routine, following feeding and medication instructions and schedules, and keeping a close eye on how they're doing. You'll get regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. A little about me: I'm active, reliable, and definitely the girl asking if I can pet your dog. If you run into me around town, it will most likely be out on the trails, in the climbing gym, or yoga studio. Or possibly the farmers market, or local community events around town. My main activities are running, hiking, backpacking, swimming, biking, climbing and mountaineering, and the more relaxing at-home hobbies include, baking, sewing, crafts, and planning fun girls nights with my friends. Send me a message if you're interested in setting up a meet and greet! I'd love to meet you and your best friend. I'm currently (recently) unemployed , and looking for pet-care to be somewhat of a part-time endeavor while I work on establishing self-employment working from home. With that said, I have lots of flexibility with my time and availability to work with your schedule and daily/weekly routines and needs. I have both had dogs stay with me in my home. I live in a 2 story townhouse with a small back patio. I have kept small and large dogs here without any issue. Usually I take dogs on a bathroom walk around the neighborhood, and for running or hiking, take them on trails. I have a running/bungee leash I use for running, but can use whatever harness, collar, and leash is preferred by the dog and owner. I have room for a crate if needed for overnight stays, but it would need to be provided as I do not own one. I have an SUV, and room for a dog bed and can hold a large dog in the back to transport for hikes or trail runs as needed.

About: Hi, I'm so excited to meet your pet! What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on background in animal welfare. As a volunteer at PAWS and a former intern at Resilient Hearts Animal Sanctuary, I have spent hundreds of hours working directly with a wide variety of dog breeds, sizes, and personalities. This professional training means I am deeply familiar with dog body language, safety protocols, and positive reinforcement techniques. I know how to read a dog's subtle cues to keep them feeling safe, calm, and happy. Because of my experience with rescue environments, I specialize in: -Building trust with shy, nervous, or anxious dogs -Managing high-energy or reactive pups with patience and composure -Strict safety and leash habits to ensure your dog is always secure Whether your pet needs an active walking buddy or a patient caregiver who respects their boundaries, I bring a calm, shelter-tested approach to every visit. I can't wait to give your pet the high-quality, attentive care they deserve! I’m currently a Freshman at WWU! I only have three classes so I have plenty of time to spare to take furry friends for walks! Because of my shelter and sanctuary background, safety is a habit for me. When I’m in your home, I practice a strict "double-barrier" rule so your pet never has a chance to slip out the front door, and I always check that harnesses and leashes are totally secure before heading out. My eyes are 100% on your dog during walks—no headphones or phone scrolling—so I can spot loose dogs or triggers ahead of time. I am completely comfortable giving medications on your exact schedule, whether it's pills, liquids, or topical treatments. I treat your space with total respect, meaning I'll always wipe muddy paws, wash out food bowls, and leave your house exactly how I found it, keeping you updated with honest notes and photos along the way.

We had a great experience with Braelyn! Maya can be aggressive with strangers, so it was nice having a sitter with a calm demeanor that my cat could feel comfortable around. Communication was great, and we loved getting pictures and updates. We felt completely comfortable knowing Maya was being well taken care of and had no worries while we were gone. We would definitely book with her again!

Sophia is the sweetest. I forgot to cancel a drop in and she showed up and was so gracious about me wasting her time. She's so sweet with my pups and they love her! My little one, Mabel, recently got injured and I really appreciated that Sophia followed my special instructions to carry her out to the yard and back so Mabel didn't make her injury worse. Thank you Sophia!

Morgan was punctual and communicative. Took great care of my 12 week old puppy during a drop-in visit. We met beforehand to make a plan and she made my wife and I feel so comfortable leaving our pup in her care as this was our first time using Rover. Went the extra mile to make sure our other pet was secure and that the house was locked and lights were on.

Azure was happy to do a meet and greet for our first time using her services. She and our cats clicked right away!! She did everything we asked of her, communicated the entire time and sent great updates and photos from her drop-ins. We came home to happy and relaxed cats which made us happy and relaxed pet parents. We will definitely be requesting Azure again in the future.
