About: I live on a farm with 3 dogs, 9 cats, 40 chickens, 20 ducks, 7 geese, 5 sheep, and 12 goats. I’m a responsible adult and will take care of your animals as if they are my own. My schedule has a lot of flexibility so feel free to message me even if it says I am unavailable on a day you need help. I work from home and my schedule is flexible on most weekdays and weekends. I have plenty of time to go for walks or check on your animals during daylight hours. I recognize that animals are often part of your family and they can be stressed when they are home alone. I hope that over time I will become a good substitute parent and give your animals lots of love when you’re not around.

About: From winning over grumpy barn cats to training my Goldendoodle from puppyhood, I’ve spent over a decade earning the trust of animals big, small, shy, and sassy. I’ve fostered kittens, cared for senior pets, and know my way around baths, brushing, meds, and muddy paw clean-ups. I don’t just show up—I build relationships, one tail wag or purr at a time. With canine first aid training and a pet-first mindset, I treat every animal like family (the spoiled kind). Whether your pup needs a hike buddy or your cat needs a respectful roommate, I’m here to make them feel safe, seen, and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work part-time remotely, which gives me the flexibility to reliably visit clients' homes and provide consistent care. I prioritize the well-being of my own dog every day and am comfortable managing a structured routine that includes walks, meals, playtime, and any special care needs. Incorporating other pets into that rhythm is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make sure each animal receives attentive, timely, and thoughtful care. When I visit your home, I treat it with the same respect and care I’d want for my own—always following your pet’s routine, keeping things tidy, and making sure your animal feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. For dogs spending the day at my place, I offer a calm, secure setting with plenty of space to roam. My property includes 7 acres of outdoor trails for on-leash adventures and enrichment, and I have two large kennels available for dogs who need a quiet space to relax. Whether I’m coming to you or welcoming your pup to me, I focus on building trust and creating a positive, low-stress experience for every animal in my care.

About: We want to help you care for your dogs. While you are away from home you can relax because your loved ones are being cared for in the best possible way. Our 10 acre farm setting is perfect for walks, throwing the ball and feeling free without ever leaving the property. The perimeter of the property is fenced. If you prefer your dog on a leash at all times, we will follow your instructions. Come by for a meet and greet. We know how important exercise and activity are to a pets wellbeing. Our dog walking service is perfect for getting the pups out during daylight hours while you’re at work. Someone is always home. I am semi retired owner of a small construction company and I work seasonally, so I'm home most of the time. My wife, who is also qualified, works from home during the week and is available to care for our boarders and play date's needs 24/7 as well. We treat your dog just like family. Our pets spend time with us and we don't restrict where they go within our home. If you prefer your dog sleep in the kennel, we can accommodate. We have one dog, Labrador Retriever, who gets along with everyone. We also have one cat and chickens, so please no intolerant pups.

About: I’ve taken care of my own other four-legged friends for over 10 years, including my own chickens and bunnies, and I never tire of it. In my free time I love pet-sitting for friends and family, as well as, making homemade treats for all of my new friends! I am currently a student in herbalism who runs a small side business making salves and serums. Due to not having a full time job, my schedule is very open. Sense every pet is different and unique, I would love to establish a routine and environment dependent on each client’s requests and what works best for them.

About: I have been taking care of dogs my entire life. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds ranging from Labradors to German Shorthairs and Mastiffs to Miniature American Shepherds. No matter the size, energy level, or special needs you can trust your pet to me. I personally have bred, whelped, and raised two litters of puppies. I am confident in assisting in any potty training of puppies as well. Additionally, having three dogs of my own I know how difficult it can be to leave your dogs in someone else's care. I am very engaged with you during anytime I'm with your dog so you know how they're doing. I work remote and my schedule is very flexible. For the most part I have the ability to set my own schedule. The biggest benefit to me would be to schedule your time with your pet in advance so that I'm able to block that time on my work schedule. I make sure that my pets and the pets that are entrusted into my care are comfortable and content. In order to achieve this I use a variety of tools and tricks such as calm exercise, interactive play, and enrichment activities. I give as much love and attention as they desire without overstimulating or stressing them out. I pay close attention to any indications of stress or other ailments and keep the owners aware of all potential challenges.


“Otis had a great walk, came back super happy!! Thanks, Ellie”


“Michael has watched my dog Zoey for over 6 months, both on walks and at his home. I couldn’t have found a better person for my dog, she absolutely loves when he comes to get her and doesn’t want to leave when it’s time to go. He is extremely punctual as well as flexible with his schedule. He is great with dogs and a very friendly person. My family will be using him to walk and watch our dogs for years to come!”


About: I have watched my neighbors dog since I was around 12 years old because they are always traveling! I would go over to their house, feed and play with their pups and make sure that they were a little tired out before I left so they could sleep some more! Hi! I am currently home for the summer from college. I am a Junior at Seattle Pacific University studying Exercise Science! I work in the restaurant industry so my schedule changes weekly but I am very flexible with everything! I have 2 cats, and 2 dogs! At my house I am in charge of feeding my dog and taking them outside 2 times a day (for walks of course)! My cats are indoor cats & they love to play fetch. So throughout the day I am playing fetch or just cuddling with them!

About: I have had dogs and cats for pets my entire life. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat. I am retired and love to have as many dogs as possible over so my dogs am I can play with them. I treat my dogs like my children and I will treat yours the same. I am retired and dog boarding is something I have always wanted to do. I know how stressful it is to leave your pets with a stranger, which is why I started this, so your pets can pampered like they are at home. We have 5 acres and a fenced area.

About: I've taken care of many animals for 8 years ever since I was 10 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me and trusted me to care for their pets and come back satisfied and happy with my work. I plan to study zoology in college to learn more about animals and plan to be a zookeeper when I graduate. Working for Rover is a way for me to show people my deep passion and fascination for all animals and continue to strengthen my skills in caring them. I don't discriminate animal breeds and will love and care for all of them. I admire every distinct personality of every pet I meet and will easily adapt to their behavior and their needs. I enjoy being outdoors, so dog walking is a personal specialty of mine. However, I also enjoy taking time to relax with pets and wind down. I am also a photographer, so I can guarantee clients will receive many photos, videos, and updates about their pets during my time with them. I'm currently working a full time job at HomeGoods in North Spokane. My schedule varies each week, but I always work 5 days a week with 8 hour shifts. I can still do most overnight stays. All I ask for is a minimum three day notice on any pet care service and I will be more than happy to provide that for you. I will also do my best to keep my calendar updated for any unavailable dates I may have. For my own pets, I always check every couple hours to make sure they have enough water throughout the day. In the event of taking care of a client's pet(s), I will do the same and make sure they are provided with enough water and food needed and will keep them in my sight to ensure their safety.

About: I’ve taken care of a large variety of animals since I was a young girl raised on a farm including dogs, cats, horses, pigs, goats, bunnies, chickens, birds, reptiles, and rodents. I’ve grown up around all sizes, from very large breed dogs like Mastiffs and German shepherds, to miniature sized dachshunds. I will treat your fur baby with lots of love and attention as if they were my own. I do not spend time on my phone while I’m with your pet (except to take pictures for you) so they are always given my undivided attention. If you have any special requests I am happy to accommodate. I have a lot of experience training dogs and enjoy exercising their minds with fun games in addition to physical exercise. I am available Monday-Thursday mornings and afternoons. If you would like to request services outside of this range, please don’t hesitate to send me a message. I’m happy to flexible when I can. Your pet’s safety and comfort is my #1 priority. I pay close attention to body language, and respect what an animal is telling me. I will always follow your directions, and exercise extreme caution so that your animal won’t escape or get into any mischief while under my care.

Stephanie R.
“Stephanie is the best choice you could ever make when choosing to leave your pet with someone. She truly cares deeply for every animal that she encounters and will go above and beyond to make sure they are safe and happy until your return.”


Julie Y.
“I became acquainted with Jilie about a year ago when she contacted the non-profit I work with in Idaho, she had just a few days earlier rescued 2 Pitty puppies that had been dumped on the side of the freeway after dark, the little male was sickly and she was reaching out for financial assistance. Since that time I have been to her home to meet all of her critter babies and see her in action, I've also had the opportunity to be a sounding board for situations that come up having to do with animals, and her instinct is always “right on”. Julie’s heart is enormous and there isn’t anything she wouldn’t do to help any animal in need. She has a wonderful way with animals, and is always open to sharing ideas and her personal experience with anyone interested. I would highly recommend Julie as someone that would always make sure your pet was well taken care of if you needed a place to board your pet, or just needed a pet walker, she is also experienced in dog training. I’m certain she would be your “go to” person once you have had the opportunity to meet her.”

She is very knowledgable and experienced when it comes to almost all sizes and breeds of dogs, horses, goats, chickens, etc. She will prioritize your pets needs and well being over anything else. Being that we have such a high energy dog I was worried about whether she would get the attention and exercise she needs daily! I was very please when Rebekah told us she spent lots of time playing fetch, tug-of-war, and went on a walk with our dog and just how much she loved it! My husband and I highly recommend Rebekah!”
