About: Hi! I'm Hailey. I am totally obsessed with animals, despite being a healthcare worker. I'm currently a student nurse at the UW, but it doesn't mean I can't spend time with animals! In my profile, you'll see pictures of two yellow labs; these two are gone now, but I grew up with them, and they taught me so much about life and love. I have spent time volunteering with the DCHS, Heartland Farm Sanctuary (where you see the emus), and Feathered Friends. Most recently, I adopted a disabled kitty cat and a labrador rescued from a puppy mill. Both of them fulfill my life in ways I can't even begin to explain. Having worked in nursing and volunteered with animals, I am no stranger to compassionate care! Other than going to classes, my life revolves around my dog. She goes everywhere with me, and we exercise for at least an hour together every day. Every room of my house has a dedicated spot for her! Your pets would be treated no differently (unless that's what you want!) My partner and I maintain a child-free and drug-free home in a quiet neighborhood. Our home is peaceful and low-stress, perfect for any pup. As for walking, I always carry personal protective equipment (pepper spray, alarms, location trackers) to maintain safety. I alone will be your beloved pet's caretaker per Rover policy.
About: I’ve dog-sat for aunts and uncles since I was 16! I love dogs of all sizes and breeds :) big dogs have a special place in my heart because I used to show bullmastiffs when I was a kid! I work 3-4 days a week depending on my schedule. And I’m going back to school this fall. I am trying to save some money for a very expensive treatment that I’ve been trying to avoid so I’m doing what I can to make a little extra! I love our neighborhood and love being outside so I figured this is the perfect way to do that! My husband and I bought our house last November. We have a fenced in yard and an 8 month old chocolate lab puppy who LOVES other dogs and any opportunity to play with them! She will bark on occasion and when that happens, we just bring her inside because we don’t like to disturb our neighbors. She is allowed on the furniture when we invite her up so we don’t mind if you dog likes the couch! I would have the same respect for your house as I do my own!
About: Hi, I'm Adeline! I have been taking care of cats and dogs my whole life. Growing up, I would pet and house sit for close neighbors and family, and still do today for friends. As an active person, I love taking energetic pups on log walks or even runs, playing indoors and out, and even just relaxing outside in the sunshine. I have experience with pets large and small, as well as dogs who may not be the most dog friendly. I am not afraid to give pills (cats and dogs) and will do my best to support your pet's training and expectations. Our pets are here with us for their entire lifetime - I strive to make it worth it and make sure they feel loved. <3 My job allows me quite a bit of flexible time in the summer. As long as I am not out of town camping or visiting family, I have all the time in the world to devote to taking care of your fur friends! Please check with me for availability! - Given reasonable instructions, I will strongly support and continue whatever training and expectations you have for your pets. If you're working on training, we know consistency is key - even if you have to be away for a time. - I treat every home with the upmost care and consideration. I don't judge - so you don't have to make your place spotless! A happy home is a lived in home! Your pet is my number one priority. - Just with people, pets need stimulation! I believe in being active and plenty of playtime if I have the opportunity to provide it! Walks, runs, and toy time bring so much joy. Is your pet more of a couch potato? That's fine too! Cuddles and plenty of pets to make them feel just as loved and cared for. - Sometimes our fur friends need medication to stay healthy. I have experience administering pills to both cats and dogs. Ones who will eat it easily, and others who may need a bit of coaxing/treats. I have some experience with needle given medication, but would ask for time to work with you for your pets most comfortable care.
About: I grew up with multiple dogs in my home. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets when they’ve needed help. I have also worked at a dog kennel where I walked and bathed dogs of all sizes and breeds. I also currently volunteer for the Humane Society where I interact with animals regularly. 😌 I work a 9 to 5 schedule Monday through Friday and I’m fully remote so I have plenty of time to regularly let dogs outside, into my fenced in yard or to take them for both short and longer walks. I can board almost any evening though I do volunteer for the Humane Society on Friday evenings. I have a fenced in yard and can easily crate your dog if desired. I currently have one cat who has lived with a dog in the past, though I typically separate her in her upstairs kitty apartment anyway. 😌
“I highly recommend Dustin! He took great care of my Rescue pup, and spend some time with her giving her the attention she needed. We will definitely re-book with him again!”

Adeline A.
“Adeline has been an absolute blessing when it comes to caring for my black lab, Athena. She’s consistently dependable, kind, and attentive with the daily tasks—feeding, walking, playing, medication, and making sure Athena feels loved and safe. But what truly sets Adeline apart is how she handled an unexpected medical crisis. When Athena suddenly needed urgent veterinary care, Adeline stayed calm, levelheaded, and immediately got her the help she needed. Her quick thinking and steady presence made all the difference in a scary moment. Knowing that someone as responsible, compassionate, and capable as Adeline is looking after my dog gives me incredible peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet caregiver.”
