“Lizz is amazing; she took this booking last minute and had plenty of time to meet Kade twice before the booking to make sure he warmed up to her. She was so nice and patient with Kade and it looks like they had a great time! Thank you!!”

“Camille was very sweet and caring to my cat! She really cared about the specific routine we have and sticking to the instructions and tips I left. She left detailed notes through the app and lots of adorable pictures. It was good to know my cat was comfortable with her and enjoyed having someone there to care for her while I was gone.”


“Willow was prompt, compassionate, caring, and respectful of my home. Sydney took to her right away and was a happy pup when I returned. Willow helped me out in a pinch and I am grateful for that.”

“Paulina is such a kind and sweet person. She was cheerful about helping me last minute and was prompt and responsible while being kind and gentle with my puppy and older dog who require different energy levels!”


“Bodhi was amazing! He took such great care of my cat while I was gone. He played with and loved on him a ton, was super punctual and communicated when he was going to be late, sent lots of cute pics, and gave super detailed report cards with everything he did to make sure Simon was well taken care of. There wasn't a single moment that I was worried about my pets well being under his care.”

“Annie took on our two spoiled indoor kitties. She was on time every day, reported on the kitties, and sent some really cute pictures. Everything was shipshape when we got home. We were thankful to have such conscientious TLC for “the boys” while we were out of town.”

“We loved Emily and do did our dog. She was very professional and punctual, and tired our pup out very well. Great calm demeanor. Would definitely hire again”


“Morgan is always very communicative and really cares about Champ’s wellbeing! She already knows his mannerisms and can tell when he needs extra attention even after only seeing him a few times so far!”

“I was extremely skeptical about hiring a sitter for my cats while we were on vacation as I can be very overprotective and hadn’t ever left them with someone who wasn’t a close friend or relative but Flannery completely changed my opinion and I will definitely be hiring her again if the need arises. She was absolutely incredible from the very beginning. She set up a meet and greet with us and immediately put my partner and I at ease with her pet care knowledge and obvious love and compassion for animals. My cats liked her right away and every visit she sent photos and videos of them playing or eating and provided detailed updates on their actions and behavior. It was a great comfort to know the they were so well looked after while we were away. Thank you so much Flannery!!”

“Arianna was awesome, able to come meet our cats and start drop-in visits on short notice while we were away for vacation. She was proactive, responsive, genuinely sweet with the cats, great about sending pics, and took care of everything we needed. Thank you so much Ari! Will definitely book again next time.”

“Skylar was great with our elderly cat Lucky! Lucky usually hides from anyone who isn’t family, but she let Skylar take her picture and even accepted Nulo Treat from her. Skylar was flexible as our schedule changed a little and even helped us navigate the Rover app. I highly recommend her.”

“Rene did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was out of town for the weekend! I felt they were in good hands and received updates and pictures from the visit. Thank you Rene!”


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.
“Sophia was fantastic! One of my cats got so stressed missing us that he ended up having blood in his urine - she spotted it and communicated to me right away so we could get him to a vet and get meds. She was a great communicator and clearly very sweet and caring with my boys. I will definitely book her again! Thank you!”

About: Animals have been a lifelong part of my world, from volunteering with humane societies and animal sanctuaries to caring for dogs in my own home. With years of experience caring for animals and as a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is in loving, trustworthy hands when you can’t be there. My goal is to provide the kind of care I’d want for my own dog: attentive, compassionate, reliable, and tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I believe a trusted local pet sitter brings peace of mind to you and plenty of love, enrichment, and happiness to your pet. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, giving me plenty of availability to provide attentive care for your pet. I love keeping my clients local, so I can spend less time driving and more time giving your dog the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Being part of the local community also means I’m nearby when you need a trusted, reliable pet sitter. Safety is always my top priority. I take the time to get to know each dog’s individual personality, behaviors, and needs so I can provide safe, comfortable, and personalized care. For everyone’s safety, I always walk dogs on leash and take care to keep them secure and under control throughout our time together.

Jewel did a great job taking care of our 2 cats while we were on vacation! Even our one usually very shy cat absolutely loved her! She was very communicative and sent lots of great daily updates and pictures. We would not hesitate to book Jewel again. Thank you!

Lizz was great, super responsive and communicative. She took good care of our older dog including administering meds. We ran out of meds mid-way through our time and Lizz was great about retrieving the replenishment from our mailbox and not skipping a beat. Our dog was healthy and happy when we returned after three weeks away! Thanks!

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!

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.

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.

Katarina was amazing with our sweet senior boy. She came to the house for outdoor time while we were away on vacation and was so gentle with him. I wish we were local, but anytime we’re in the area, she is absolutely who I will call. I’d trust her with Winston anytime. Highly recommend!
