“Briaunna is great! She came out before the scheduled walk to do a meet and greet with my dog and she really cares about meeting you and your dogs needs. Briaunna updated me on when she picked my dog up and dropped off, as well as sending photos and leaving a note on Koko's behavior/walk. If you want your dog to be well taken care of, you should book Briaunna!”

About: Hi there! I’m Alyssa a dedicated and reliable pet sitter with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals! From playful pups and cuddly cats to majestic horses and even farm animals. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I take great pride in providing loving, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, grooming, administering medications, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I work from home two days a week, and on the other three weekdays, I’m in the office for just four hours at a time. That means I’m never away from the house for more than 5 hours – and I always make time for check-ins, walks, or play breaks before and after any outing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer a secure, pet-friendly environment with a fully fenced large yard, perfect for supervised playtime, fresh air, and plenty of tail wags. Whether your pet loves to run, explore, or just relax in the sunshine, they’ll have the space and freedom to feel right at home. They’ll also be in great company! I have three friendly, well-socialized fur babies of my own who love meeting new pals and help create a warm, welcoming pack vibe. Whether your pet is shy or super social, I always take time to make gentle, supervised introductions to ensure everyone feels safe, happy, and respected. With constant supervision, personalized attention, and a calm home setting, your furry family member will be cared for just like one of my own.
About: With over 12years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds , I provide reliable, compassionate, and personalized care for every pup I met. Daily walks are not just routine. They’re in opportunity for exercise, enrichment, and bonding. Whether it’s a playful pup, or a senior dog, needing a gentler pace, I tailor every walk and care session to their unique needs. As a SHM my schedule is pretty flexible for taking in pups. I have a fenced yard and I am away for a little bit of time. I have a fenced yard, reliable transportation for drop off visits and for emergencies. I live in a safe neighborhoods for long or short walks.
“Sidney did great with handling our dogs and cat through our "getting to know you" visits that we set up, and we agreed the last walk was not needed prior to the longer pet sitting, so "review" saying a dog walk was cancelled is not a negative on Sidney, just not necessary but she didn't cancel it electronically soon enough. She did a great job with the pets and will be happy to arrange for her to sit them again on future occasions.”

About: In a quiet neighborhood in Spanaway you will find Tony’s “casa de pets.” This casa or house has a large fence in back yard for your pet to run, play, and do the doo that they do. We have flexible hours as well as we can pick up your pet for a small fee. If your’ pet is friendly with others there are several nearby parks within 10 minutes. We also have the ability to take them to several dog parks, one of them being the awesome Steilacoom dog park. We love to play, spend quality time, and snuggle with pets. In the past we have owned several dogs and several crested geckos. My work is seasonal which allows me to have some extra time on my hands. Both my partner and I love animals. We are at a point in our life we don’t want to have a pet full time but truly miss having them around. So here is where Rover will benefit all of us! We get to have pet play dates and snuggle from time to time while you get to enjoy time away without worry. My favorite dog is the Rhodesian Ridgeback. My partner loves manatees and alpacas. We don’t have the space for an alpaca and the manatee well that is just not going to happen unless we move to Florida near a river. If you have an alpaca farm we would love to visit! Safety is important to us. There are several animal hospitals within 10 minutes of our house. We have both been through the elderly dog years. We have also taken care of friends’ dogs that have health issues. We are able to give most medication. We have not given any injections but we can be shown how to with your pet if needed. FYI during the 4th of July we do get a lot of neighbors that shoot of fireworks so if your dog has issues with that we may not be able to help during that time period.
“Love having Sarah come out and help out and spend time with my pups! They love her and are so excited every time they get to see her. Fantastic communicator and has been amazing overall.”

About: I have worked at an animal hospital for 5 years total where I learned how to train dogs from Kathy Sadao who used to train the wales to relinquish the bombs for the Navy. I have owned large and XL breed dogs my whole life as well. I will treat your dog like a human child as they will be allowed on my furniture, my bed, and probably my kids beds as well. I have a little over 10 acres for them to play on. We are starting a small farm style residents and would love to shower your fur babies with love and attention. Since starting Rover, 90% of my clients are returning, and become part of our family as well. I have trained people’s dogs in the time I have had them along with help manage dogs anxiety’s to different things. I helped a water aggressive dog become no longer water aggressive. A dog who pulled on a leash so hard you couldn’t walk him to now, my 6 year old son walks him with no worries. As much as my family loves to play with and cuddle your 4 legged babies we also love to help you out by training them if we can. I have plenty of time for all pet care needs to be met. I am a stay at home mom, but all my kids now go to school so your fur babies will have all my attention most of the time during the week. I have a fenced yard, very safe neighborhood, loving high energetic family, big house, 10 acres, and I have worked at an animal hospital in the past I can tell if something is wrong with your dog. If you would like I love sending pictures and videos as well.
About: I have been around animals of all kinds my entire life, my mom was always bringing little critters home so I have gotten to experience lots of different four legged friends I have a full house. We have two dogs. A 14 year old miniature Schnauzer named Zoey. A 4 year old Yorki named S'More who thinks he is master of the universe. We also have two cats. A 12 year old ash point lynx named Viktor. And a 2 month old kitten named Roscoe. They are both strays We picked up. And four Sugar Gliders: Stitch, Ziggy, Joey, Gizmo. So to say we have wild daily pet routines would be an understament. I see meeting new pets as making new friends. Because that's what we are to them. I am more than happy to be your fur babies best pal, whether that's someone to play with, or chill with.
About: I am passionate about animal welfare. Safety, nutrition, and and stress management are my pet priorities. I also have moderate experience with animals with medical needs, and some experience in basic pet training. I operate my own business from home, so my schedule is flexible. I am available during most week days at any time, and some weekends, depending on market schedule. I love to make pets feel safe and comfortable. I can also play with, pet, and do some basic training in whichever fashion the animal is most comfortable with.
About: Growing up, I’ve always had pets, and my first childhood pet was a cat named Blackie. Later, we added another cat, Oreo, to the family. Around the same time, we welcomed Tank, our German Shepherd/Shar-Pei mix, who became my loyal companion from elementary school through high school. I took care of Tank every day, and he was so sweet and gentle that he even helped people overcome their fear of dogs. When Blackie and Oreo passed, we brought two more cats, Dickie and Roxy, into our family. Over time, Dickie disappeared, and I got another cat, Marley, who had a litter of kittens. We kept one and named her Gracie. Shortly after having her kittens, Marley passed away. Later, I got another cat, Buddy, who eventually ran away. Now, as an adult, I’ve continued my love for pets with my two current cats, Dayz May and Willow, who I care for alongside my boyfriend, a fellow animal lover (especially when it comes to cats). Though my journey with cats has been lifelong, I’ve always had a deep love for dogs. Tank will always hold a special place in my heart, and I jump at any chance to care for dogs, like my aunt’s and mom’s pets. I still get as excited as a child spotting a pony whenever I see a dog, eager to pet, play with, and spoil them. I ensure they’re well-fed, entertained, and happy—because I believe every dog deserves a joyful life. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and dogs especially seem to bond with me quickly. I can’t wait for the opportunity to meet and care for your beloved pet! Currently OPEN to just about anything! I DoorDash on the side so I basically have my own schedule. Tuesdays I watch my little sister(6) after school for a few hours(4-9) but can be flexible. **Our Place:** We have two cats in our small home, so we prefer to care for your pets in their own environment, where they feel safest. **Yours:** When I (Parkre) arrive, I first assess the situation by checking for any accidents, reviewing any notes left, ensuring water is filled, and confirming if food is needed. After this quick check, I take the dogs for a walk to handle potty breaks and playtime. The rest of the day is tailored to your pets' schedules. When my time is up, I always leave the space cleaner than before and your pets happier than ever. Your home is your sanctuary, and I'm here to help keep it that way.
About: I’ve grown up having dogs around me at all times. I currently have 3 of my own fur babies, and while they’re definitely a handful (or pawful), I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love playing, walking, and just spending time with pets and I can’t wait to be able to treat your animals like my own! During my services, I always make sure to include at least three pictures of your pets when I stop by, I know how long a day can feel without seeing your animals. My main goal is to make sure you and your pet(s) are satisfied with the services I provide because I know just how important our furry friends are to all of us and our families! I also have experience with bird, rodent, small reptile and amphibian care! I’m happy to watch any and all types of our animal family members while you’re away ! I have been in love working with animals since my first Girl Scout visit to an animal shelter in 3rd grade. I currently have five rescues of my own (two dogs, two cats, and a beardie) and I would to meet and help provide care for your fur babies as well! I make sure to provide the same quality of care to your pet as you would. They are our extra, furry family members and deserve to be treated as such, especially when they are excited and waiting to see their people!
About: I used to do 4-H with my dog for 4 years, which taught me how to train and interact with dogs, and to understand dog body language. I will love your dog as my own. This will be my only part-time job, so I will dedicate all of my time to my Rover clients. I'm available all week except Saturdays & Sundays. I would love to walk your dog around your neighborhood, and get to know them as I spend more time with them. I will take care of them, give them water if they need it during the walk, play with them, take a break if your dog needs it.
About: I’m experienced in: • Crate and potty training for puppies • Administering medications and joint care for older dogs • Positive reinforcement techniques • Managing dogs with separation anxiety • Keeping consistent routines that reduce stress for pets while you’re away I’m consistent with: • Daily walks and bathroom breaks at regular intervals • Mealtimes and medication schedules • Training or enrichment activities to keep pets mentally engaged • Evening check-ins and wind-down time for a calm, reassuring end to the day In My Home: When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I provide a clean, safe, and cozy environment where they can relax and feel at home. Pets get plenty of supervised playtime, walks, and attention throughout the day. I follow their regular routines as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, or crate time—to reduce stress and keep things familiar. In Client’s Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their environment stable and routines consistent. I make sure to follow all instructions carefully, from feeding and walking to administering medications or handling special needs. I keep the home clean, respect the space, and provide regular updates so clients know their pets are safe, happy, and in good hands.
About: Hello! I grew up taking care of mostly dogs in my house until finally was able to get my own dog 6 years ago. I've experienced other people who love animals but I feel like I have a connection to dogs that beats out others, I can read a dogs vibe and match it pretty well. Currently take care of 2 mid-large sized dogs and 3 cats. Love it all! I am currently not working so I have all day to play with pets. I am go with the flow in whatever and whenever your animal needs to eat and go potty and play/train. I am very flexible with doing whatever you need in order to keep your pet safe and under control while still having fun while you're away.

“Courtney was a pleasure to meet. My dog took to her right away. She was not only on time, but a bit early so we could briefly discuss. Courtney has great communication before and after the walk and sent a few photos on his walk. Highly recommend!”
