“Rachel is great! She has a way of making a very shy dog warm up to her quickly. She was prompt to respond and showed up on time for her drop in. My pups were very well taken care of and she communicated with me very well!”


“Patricia is a wonderful dog sitter. Molly went for walks and enjoyed being with her. Patricia brought a dog toy for her to play with and Molly had fun with that too. Thank you so much, Patricia!”


“Samantha was great! Very prompt and thorough with communication. Sent lots of pictures and videos of my kitties and went above and beyond when they had an accident on the carpet.”


About: I have loved owning and training dogs my whole life, but unfortunately have one child allergic. I can't wait to meet your amazing pup of any size, and get them the needed exercise, and training if needed. I have a full-time job in hockey, which affords me a lot of free time in the spring and summer months, especially during the day. I will provide whatever is needed, whether it's a short or long walk. I'm also a runner, and happy to jog with them. I pride myself on being able to work with any kind of dog and training them to be easy and reliable on a leash.

About: I grew up around all types and sizes of dogs and once I was 20 I got my first dog. We are now a household with 2 pups and 2 guinea pigs. As a pet sitter I consider myself devoted and attentive to the needs of your pets. I believe in a positive dog training approach and lead my interactions with kind authority. I've been entrusted to watch animals and children since I was 15 years old. I've been raised with pets that have special needs such as medication requirements and am comfortable providing for them as well. I am currently working from home and have a very flexible work schedule. I live near the WSU campus and can reach the local neighborhoods readily. Typically I am away from home during the holidays but can schedule some time around that. In general I will be available for walks and check ins at various times throughout the day. In Pullman we are lucky to have the availability of some trails and walking paths that are great areas to take dogs. I also believe in tailoring the walk to the pet. For example some dogs are nervous around busy streets, therefore we can modify and walk on back roads or in parks that may provide a better environment during their walk. I also have a valid drivers license and have had experience driving with dogs for 6+ hours in the car.


“We were very happy Cindy was able to help us out. Cindy took the time for a meet and greet before. They got a long great. When Cindy stopped, she text us and sent photos of her visit. We will definitely use Rover and Cindy again! Thank you”


“We Love using Angela and her boys. They are so attentive to our animals needs and follows all instructions carefully. Our kitties need special foods to keep them regular when we are on vacation. Since we’ve used Angela, we no longer have Vet visits after every vacation! Truly wonderful!! Additionally, we trust her completely having access to our house.”


About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life. I currently have 3 and live on a 6 acre farm where the dogs can run and play all day. I’m currently between jobs but anticipate that my next work will be WFH so I can care for the dogs and other farm animals day in and day out. While the yard is not fenced per se, I do have invisible fencing if your dog is used to that system. I have 3 of my own dogs that know the boundaries and stay within them. I have a 3 bedroom house with 2 of the bedrooms unoccupied so there is plenty of space. I have crates of different sizes of your dog prefers to be crated for any length of time. One of my dogs is crated when not home the other 2 are free to roam the house and very well behaved.

“Shannon was fantastic with our pups! We were a last minute booking due to other plans falling through and I couldn’t have asked for better care for the dogs! She sent us many pictures throughout her 30 minute visit. I knew my dogs were well cared for. I will definitely use Shannon again in the future. :)”


About: Hi, I’m Libby! I worked at a dog kennel for 4 years and have been dog sitting for families since high school. I’m experienced with all kinds of dogs and love making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ll treat your pup like my own and keep you updated along the way! Right now, I work part-time retail (mostly evenings), and I’m currently looking for a full-time job, so my schedule can be a bit flexible during the day. While things are a little up in the air, I always make sure to plan ahead so pets get the care and attention they need. If something ever comes up, I’ll communicate clearly and make sure your pet is still well taken care of. When caring for pets in their own home, I try my best to stick closely to their usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of play and potty breaks, and feel safe while you’re away. I’m respectful of your space and always keep you updated with how your pet is doing!

About: I have had pets all of my life. I was a pet sitter in college for several families. I also worked at a doggy daycare & boarding facility where I fed, bathed, administered medications, let outside, and worked with owners to provide the best care possible. From June-August I am very open weekdays and weekends. August-May I am open evenings and weekends. I can be flexible with what works best for you. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with love, patience, and lots of belly rubs. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe, whether we’re at home, on a walk, or just hanging out. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of your pet’s routine and your home. I’ve also worked as a nanny and personal care assistant, so I understand the importance of trust, attention to detail, and creating a peaceful environment. Whether your pet needs structured care or just a cozy cuddle buddy, I’ve got it covered!

“This was our first time using Rover and I must say that Shelby was outstanding!! She was extremely responsive and since both of my cats required medication administration, she was very willing to set up a meet and greet to meet ours cats and to see the process to give them their medications. All went so well during the meet and greet, but when it came time for Shelby to visit the cats during our vacation, my cats decided to not cooperate by hiding from her and made it pretty difficult to give them their medications as they would keep running away. Shelby was very honest about how things were going and provided detailed updates with photos. She was extremely patient with my cats and they were able to get more comfortable as the week went on and eventually let her pick them up and stopped hiding which was very reassuring. She did excellent with getting them their medications even though the cats didn't make it easy! She was on time, provided excellent care, and we were able to relax on vacation knowing they were cared for. We plan to have Shelby help us again in the future!! Thanks SO much Shelby!!”


“Heather did an exceptional job with our senior dog. She was prompt when she said she would be there, gentle with our dog, and patient when the neighbor dog wanted some attention, too. I would highly recommend Heather.”

About: My name is Marill. I love all animals. I have been watching animals since 2006. I absolutely love dogs. Every pet I've ever watched I try to mimic their home behavior so there are no bad habbits learned. If they aren't allowed on the couch at home. I wont let them here. If they are working on commands I will use your verbiage and hopefully return them to you more trained then when they came! If you want them to have the best time ever and be on vaca too, I can absolutely do that as well with beach days and sleeping in, on my bed! I want your pet to feel happy and loved while you're away and I can always provide pictures and video's too if you'd like! I have had a lot of experience with dog behaviors, training and medications and am always willing to learn. I chose to do Rover because I no longer wanted to leave my older dog… then COVID happened and I lost all 4 of my hospitality jobs so I chose to watch dogs full time! Rover is just one more way to get my name out there, but this is all I do all day long and I love it! I own a boarding business that I run out of my home so I’m here all day every day doing what I love. So Rover is just a great way to get in touch with people that need their pet to be in a safe and happy environment while they are away. I have 6 dogs of my own. Ranging from 6 years to 1. All different play styles or all of them love to sleep too! I have everything your dog needs to feel safe, get properly socialized, learn in a group setting and really enjoy coming here every time. I love all the dogs I watch just as if they were my own.

About: I've been taking care of my own animals since I was 8 years old. I grew up with multiple pets in my house hold. I raised a chinchilla to be 18 and my oldest dog was almost 16. Our family recently moved to the area and I’m just getting back into Rover. I'm currently a teacher so I have plenty of time to check in on your animal(s). I have a flexible schedule in the summer so I will try to work with your schedule. I am able to check in on your animal(s), give them attention, take them for a walk, and feed them/give them potty breaks. If there is bad weather or the animal needs extra attention (for longer periods of time) they can hang out in my home with me. I have three friendly golden dogs!

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was about 10 years old. I've had dogs as pets my whole life and have taken care of them since my family got my first dog when I was 7 years old. I've also cared for my extended families dogs since I was 13. I currently have experience watching family, friends, and neighbors dogs and would love to care for more. I have also had some professional k-9 training in my previous career. Your dogs will be loved and well cared; and I'll treat them as my own. Pets are family to me! Can't wait to get to know your furry ones! I am a stay at home mom so I can make the majority of dates and times work, unless I have pre-planned events such as doctors appointment, vacations, etc. Your pets comfort and safety will be my top priority. All dogs are different and I'll adjust to each dog'a daily schedule and likes/dislikes to make this a comfortable and trusting experience for all.
