“Bridget was perfectly punctual and great with our dogs! Her extensive work with all breeds and rescue dogs was reassuring. Her confident and calm demeanor endeared both of our dogs to her immediately. I highly recommend Bridget for your pets.”
“I've only used Xiuyan since I got this app and she's been there bear cat sitter a person could ask for. Above and beyond expectations. Highly recommended”
“Ashley was a great sitter for the two cats. I appreciated the updates and lots of cute photos. She fed them per our specific instructions and kept their litter boxes and water bowls clean and fresh. Thank you for taking care of our little guys!”
“Savannah is wonderful! She took time to get to know my cats and their needs, and I feel I’m leaving them in good, caring hands when I’m gone. Communication is direct and smooth. I’ll work with Savannah again!”
“Once again, Nicholas is reliable and trustworthy. The two things we need in a dog sitter and he's that and more! Thanks again for all you do!”
“Hannah was a great sitter! She was easy to communicate with, always available if I had any concerns. I was super impressed with her staying and playing with Ollie during the drop in visits. Lots of photos too which was great :)”
“Deidre was fantastic. We were very anxious leaving our older chihuahua and standard poodle alone all day since they’ve become accustomed to being no more than 5 feet away from us since working from home the last 6 years. As soon as we met Deidre for the meet and greet we were put at ease. She’s has a calm, grounded presence that not only the dogs but even our scaredy cats responded too. She came by for three visits and sent full updates and many photos. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Ari is amazing! He helped me last minute taking care of my dogs and they seem to really enjoy their visits with him. 😊 Highly recommend his services!”
“This was my first time working with Madison and they were fantastic! They made time to do a meet-and-greet before hand to meet my Kitty and watch me administer medications. They asked great questions and were patient with my instructions. They have now checked on my cat twice and gave meds, they gave thorough notes in the rover card and provided great pictures. My cat was quick to cuddle with them which is always a good sign that they are gentle and kind when giving meds. Overall very happy and will definitely book again.”
“Lizzy was fabulous! Our boys loved spending time with her. It was great to see pictures of them while we were gone. I know we’ll have Lizzy over again.”
“We love Alexa! She’s so on top of it!!”
“Jeffrey was fantastic and allowed us to be worry free while traveling overseas. He even helped take care of our cat who unfortunately has cancer and was able to administer oral meds. I went ahead and already booked him again for our next trip. Highly recommend!”
“Melanie did a great job taking care of my very unfriendly cat Daisy! She sent lots of pictures & updates, which I enjoyed getting. Melanie brought my mail in & took my garbage out to the curb for pick up too. She went above & beyond! I am so happy to have found her to take care of Daisy when I am gone!”
About: I have taken care of pups of all ages (from puppies to seniors) as well as sizes! I love going on walks short or long, playing, as well as cuddles! I have taken care of pups who require a high level of consistency in their routines and do my best to attune to those needs as reliably as possible, working with and directly communicating with pet parents (as desired). I do dog walking, drop-in visits, as well as overnight stays. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule for day time drop-in visits for play time, feeding, as well as walks of varying lengths and time (rain or shine)! I am incredibly respectful of anyone's home that I enter and leave the space as clean as when I entered. I am really intentional about making sure my time with your animal baby is thoughtful, reliable, caring, and safe. Consistency in routine and safety are two values to animal care that I hold.
“Helena did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. She is dedicated to making sure all aspects of their needs are met and she goes the extra mile. I especially appreciate the time she spent getting to know both of them. I have a very shy one and she was able to interact with him much more than I expected. She is also a great communicator. I definitely recommend her!”
“100 stars! We moved to Olympia recently and then had to take a ten day trip out of town, and Jerri was amazing! We had daily pictures of our old man cat and she rotated lights, got the mail, and even dragged our trash cans back in. She also stayed in close contact with us the last day of our trip, as we were worried about our flights being cancelled or late, and she was ready to come back if we needed her. 10/10 highly recommend!”
About: * summer is here and I still have a few openings left so book asap! Also... I know it seems too early and sunny to think about the holidays, but I usually book up months in advance so reach out, even if you don't have exact travel plans, but know you'll need pet care. I currently have Labor Day already booked, but mid November - New Years is pretty much open, except one booking in Dec. Check my updated calendar. My dog care experience spans all ages and breeds. I know puppies are more work, but I enjoy working with them on leash and obedience training to maintain good habits while their people are away. I have experience with giving daily medications and have cared for senior dogs, one who needed daily blood sugar testing and insulin shots. I live mobile between pet sitting gigs staying with friends and family from Marysville to Olympia. I started pet sitting for clients when I was house cleaning during the time I was in grad school. Because I was already working in their homes and had biweekly interactions with their pets, it was an easy transition to pet care. It was also during this time that a couple of professors inquired about pet sitting. I was a backup for one of thier regular sitters and the other, I'm still their regular sitter 7+ years later. I care for your pets the same way you would. They like to sleep in the bed with me? Cool. They need extra outside play time or walks to keep their anxiety low because you're gone? Done. I am very intuitive to reading their energy and do everything I can to meet their needs. Do you have some anxiety about being away and want pictures daily? Got it covered. My experience with house cleaning also menas I take care of the spaces I am staying so I am happy to water house plants and take care of gardens if needed.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! I love pets and if I could I would adopt all the dogs! Bringing animals joy brings me joy! I’m currently working a full time job, I’m off Mondays and Tuesdays. And wanting to walk your dog any day of the week, or stop in visits on my days off! I have one lovely sweet boy dog, black lab! I’m looking forward to walks alone or with my puppy! He’s very friendly and always looking for new friends to play with!
About: With over a decade of experience as a trusted dog sitter, I have had the privilege of caring for countless furry companions, including those belonging to neighbors, friends, and coworkers. From goofy poodles (like my own) to energetic vizsla's, I've had the pleasure of nurturing a diverse range of breeds and personalities. My commitment to building strong relationships with both pets and their owners has led to countless referrals and repeat clients, solidifying my reputation as a go-to sitter in the area. As a super chill yet responsible sitter, I prioritize safety, communication to the owner, and fun-filled adventures for your beloved pet. With me, you can rest assured that your furry family member will receive top-notch care and plenty of love while you're away. I have a work schedule that gives me flexibility Thursdays and Fridays so I’m able to provide services for up to 4 days at a time :) I don’t have a pet friendly rental home so I prefer to care for pets at the clients home. This is what I’ve normally done for friends and family over the years. Plus pets seem more comfy in their own homes!

Xiuyuan was prompt, organized, and very communicative. This is our first time using Rover and we will definitely be requesting Xiuyuan again. Our cats loved her and she was very caring and loving towards them.
Deidre was fantastic. We were very anxious leaving our older chihuahua and standard poodle alone all day since they’ve become accustomed to being no more than 5 feet away from us since working from home the last 6 years. As soon as we met Deidre for the meet and greet we were put at ease. She’s has a calm, grounded presence that not only the dogs but even our scaredy cats responded too. She came by for three visits and sent full updates and many photos. We cannot recommend her highly enough.
Ari is the nicest, most professional dog buddy I’ve ever known! Super informative updates, very punctual and truly loves our pets. Most importantly, our dogs adore him!
I can’t say enough great things about Helena. I have worked with her multiple times and would do so again in a heartbeat. Helena can be counted on to what is needed and she is warm and attentive to my cats.The most recent time she cared for my two cats, one of them wasn’t feeling well and it was difficult to be out of town. I am so grateful for Helena because I knew I could fully trust her to pay close attention and be confident about administering medicine. I’ve had cats for the last 25 years and Helena is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. I can fully recommend her.
Absolutely adore Savannah. She was available even with such short notice for our fur baby. Very professional, and reliable. Definitely will be using her again, as our fur baby warmed up to her the quickest of all sitters. Thank you Savannah for being sweet with our girl, and available at such a short notice!
Ashley was awesome!! My super introverted suspicious weirdo black kitty warmed right up to her day 1. Ashley was flexible, caring, made sure my cat was well taken care of while I was gone. Will be rebooking when the the time comes ❤️
Cierra was absolutely wonderful. She sent lots of great feedback with pictures and videos of our boy. She was super flexible with us and made sure our pup was well cared for. Quick to reply and would definitely use her again.
Shannon is amazing! I got regular pictures and updates on how Goose was doing, and he seemed to be a very happy boy. Thank you Shannon!
Ana was wonderful! Very responsive, friendly, totally reliable and a natural with our dogs. She watched our two Labradors for a couple days, she was great about sending notes and pictures of how things were going, our dogs loved her! We would definitely recommend her services!
Chloe has taken care of Jovey many times now and has consistently provided excellent care, going beyond what is expected. We will greatly miss Chloe as we are moving, but I highly recommend her for anyone needing special care for their pet!
Eric is absolutely the best. Excellent communication, always on time and most of all, Nala loves him.
Alyssa was great with both my dog and cat. She was an excellent communicator, flexible and dependable. I highly recommend her.
