My friends and family rely on me to watch their babies when their out of town and care for them. I hope you can find trust in me with your babies. I make my own work schedule therefore leaving me available to pet sit whenever I want and am available. I’m available mostly weekends Thursdays - Sundays. But will keep my calendar updated for during the week as well. I have a six foot fenced yard, my pets are fed twice a day and water is cleaned and rinsed daily and in the middle of the day. There is a doggy door, so dogs come and go to use the restroom.
About: I've worked with a variety of animals throughout my life and dogs have taken up the majority of that experience. I've lived with dogs and cats my whole life, helped neighbors with their animals, both with house visits and making sure their animal friends get proper exercise.

About: Just a stay at home mom of a child who's been around dogs and cats since she was born. looking to make some extra income for our family in our area. We live on a mini farm and have experience with all sorts animals. We have 3 dogs and 5 cats. Willing to do some dogs walks and feeding and basic checkup care during the week days. I'm always home, besides basic errands. I homeschooling my 6 year old and take care of our mini farm animals. We have indoor and outdoor cats as well. I'm already in routine of daily feeding of our dogs and let them go potty. Our 3 spend most their time outside in or out of the fenced area. They walk with us everywhere. I make trips into town and can take care of your pups at your home for a walk, bath, or trip to a park. I just don't do overnights at someone's home right now. At our home we have options for small dogs or puppies to stay inside with us, or large dogs to stay outside in fenced area during day or in a large kennel run overnight. Kennel run has a cover and water inside with a dog house. Puppies would be inside and if not potty trained they'd sleep in a crate and let out to potty at night or after naps. Daughter would play with puppy or small dogs all day. Large dogs would get to play with our large dogs and run in field to catch balls, sticks and frizbies. We will feed and there is always water available. If your dog is a runner let us know and we will keep extra watch and not allow outside of the fenced area. We are far from any main roads and at the end of a gravel road which is a good few hundred or more feet from a paved road. If we come to your home to care, we will follow whatever instructions you have for your pups and can keep communication with pictures and texts as often as you'd like.
“Excellent. She acted like a true professional when coming to my place, my cat actually let her pet her (which doesn't happen...). The manager of my RV park stated that she will recommend Inga to everyone that asks about pet resources in our area.”

About: I am new to Rover, but have worked in the Animal Health Industry as a Veterinarian Technician (animal nurse) and outside sales/customer service for the past 30+ years. Along with the background check Rover provides, I also have a Business License and I am Insured/Bonded. Animal care is my only business/job. I have experience with most animals from reptiles to cattle and currently have a little 5 acre hobby farm with a horse, goats, chickens, dog and cat. I am very flexible with days you need pet care. My days are filled with animal care of my own/yours, walking/hiking, gardening and home/property projects. Your pets will be treated with great care while spending time with me. I have a gated 5 acre hobby farm with 1/2 acre fully fenced area around my home. My farm animals are fenced in separately for safety. I also have 3 acres of wooded trails/not fenced for leash walking. I am able to provide care and exercise depending on your pets needs and will only accept dogs that are not aggressive towards people or other dogs for a positive/fun experience. I have giant wire crates/bedding for night sleeping/feeding and can take up to 3 dogs. I would prefer same family, but may be some overlap with scheduling. Otherwise they will be spending time with me in my home and on my property. There are two large porches for either sunning or shade. I also have air conditioning. Please be up to date on vaccinations (including kennel cough), worming and monthly flea control. I live in a quiet/peaceful valley. Please no excessive barkers and bring their food, treats and special toys. If you have an older/well trained dog that would be happy sleeping in a dog bed at night, I can be accommodating. Especially, if I have no other dogs boarding here. Must have been crate trained at some point in their life. Waking up in the am to an intact couch is nice! 😊 Please allow enough time for a 1st time meet and greet prior to finalizing the booking. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family!

About: When I was little and people asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said 'dog walker' — and now I finally get to live that dream! This summer I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I have experience with both small and large dogs, as well as cats, and I treat every animal like my own. This summer I'm home in Olympia taking a college course, so my days are flexible and my focus is simple — hitting the books and spoiling some fur babies! I have plenty of time and am committed to giving your pet consistent, reliable care My home comes with a large fenced yard — plenty of room for your pup to run wild, explore, and have the time of their life!
“Becky has been so wonderful with my new puppy. Her communication is fantastic as well as the photos she sends of her! Poppy always loves her visits. It has made this transition of bringing a new puppy home so much less stressful!”

“Jodi took good care of our cat and her communication was great. She was responsive all the time and from our interactions, I can tell she is a very trustworthy person. Highly recommended.”

About: I have 3 dogs of my own; my old man toy poodle Chai, big baby Baxter, and sweet lil mama Maisie! All of them are non aggressive, and love new friends. My husband is military, so as we travel, I have worked on rescuing and rehabilitating animals in need. I’ve been doing kennel boarding/daycare for some time now, but am looking to specialize in giving individualized love, care, and attention to each of my fuzzy friends! When caring for your pets, I treat them how I would my own fur babies! I have experience in a wide range of animals, energy level, personality, and emergency situations. I offer socialization training with my own babies, so they can have amazing friends to play with! I am working towards an animal CPR & FA certification, as well as taking courses to become a certified dog trainer. I’m currently working from home, so I have plenty of time for taking care of your fur babies! I do regular potty breaks every 2 hours with scheduled activities throughout the day. All my kiddos are friendly and loving towards every new friend they meet! Your baby will be accepted as one of family in a well structured environment. Depending on every pups personal preference, I do slow distanced introductions and eventually close the gap till everyone is comfortable. Once introduced as friends, we can do all activities as a group!
“Madison is the most reliable sitter I have found in the area, and my three dogs have come to welcome her to their little family pack. Very grateful to have met Maddy and she continues to go above and beyond taking care of them. It honestly helps me feel at ease knowing she is swinging by to see them. If anyone has any large dogs, Maddy has been an absolute champ with my three rambunctious doodles. She also helps me with my hedgehog which makes her even more qualified!”

About: I have cared for my own dogs since I was a child, and have spent time petsitting for neighbors and friends as well. I worked at a dog daycare for a year, which I loved. I'm not working right now so I have time on my hands to care for your dogs! I am not available on weekends or on Wednesday evenings as I have class. When I house sit for you I am able to do whatever it is your dog is used to, whether it's playing with toys, going on walks or running in the yard, I'll be sure to give your pet what they need at all times.
“My GSD did very well with Emma, she came over on time for the scheduled visits and even stayed a little later to make sure he was potties before bed. My boy is very active and I really appreciate all the play he got. I will be looking to book Emma for future care, thank you!”

“This was my first time using Rover but Vanessa and Eulalia made it easy. Even though neither of my shy cats showed themselves, they seemed noticeably less anxious when I got home compared to other times I've traveled and had a friend watch them. I will be a repeat customer!”

About: Pets are family! Taking care of them is one of the most rewarding experiences and provides unconditional love. I have been around numerous animals my entire life, and currently have 3 dogs! Daisy, Luka and Honey! I love being outside, walking, hiking and playing fetch on our 2.5 acre property. I always have time for pets! I work Monday-Friday but am available after 3pm or on weekends. I also offer boarding and there is always someone home for our fur babies! I have a fenced 2.5 acre property and 3 friendly, loving and playful dogs to keep your baby company!
