“It was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family, but we felt comfortable knowing how great Emily is. She sent lots of pics and in the short time we were away she taught him to shake! Emily is truly wonderful and always goes above and beyond.”

“Winnie has been the BEST for Meko and we are so fortunate to have met her over a month ago. Meko and winnie have created a bond and I couldn't be happier!!! Thank you for genuinely caring for Meko!!”


About: Working as a vet assistant, groomer, trainer and sport and show handler I have built a unique set of skills that can provide your dog with an experience like no other! I am a stay at home mom with two kids in school. My day consists of staying at home so your pup will never be alone. I have a 6 foot fully fenced yard, plus a separate dog run area where I have cameras inside and out. Safety is my number one priority. Your dog will have eyes on them 24/7. Since safety is something I take very seriously these are some of the things I do to ensure your dog feels comfortable at all times. All dogs are fed separately, this includes chews and treats. Dogs are on leash if not in the fully fenced backyard. All dogs have their own drinking water to prevent any spread of illness. Food and water bowls are washed daily. The yard is chemical free, I do not use weed killer or insect sprays on the property. Pictures and updates daily to insure peace of mind while you’re away. Is your dog shy, submissive or reactive with other dogs. No problem, I have lots of areas in the house and yard where they don’t have to be apart of the group of other dogs. I have one cat who is an indoor outdoor kitty. She has grown up with multiple dogs in the house. She has been around many dogs who don’t like cats, you’ll normally see her up in the trees or on the roof. I do have two kids in the house who have grown up with dogs. Along with safety respect is also something I value. My children respect the dog’s space. If your dog doesn’t like children or is nervous around them that is no problem. I strive to make sure my children are coexisting and having little interaction with our dogs who are not child friendly. All interactions with your dog are supervised, there will not be any interactions out of sight with the children. We take dogs with all kinds of personality. While your dog is here their comfort and happiness is my priority. It’s very easy to keep your dog and the kids separated.
“McKenna went out of her way to help out with our pups. They are anxious dogs and require a lot of extra TLC. She was great with them. She was super sweet and responsible. I would use her again for sure!!”

About: Alex has a 6 year old Golden Retriever at home which she loves and adores! Alex knows how important it is to provide and receive quality care, Alex will provide care to your dog while paying close attention to detail as needed. Whether it is stopping in to relieve your pet, taking them on a walk, playing with them, or a combination of such, Alex will care for you pet as best as she can- similar to how you would. If you choose to have Alex sit for your pet, they will get plenty of play time with her sweet and playful Golden Retriever named Bodhi. Alex is flexible and open to meet and greets to ensure the dogs are a good fit for positive interactions. I am currently home full time with my 9 month old baby, and my dog Bodhi. This gives me great availability to be present with the dogs throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard and a good and safe walking neighborhood. The dogs are welcome to hangout in the house or outside as they prefer. Since I am home full time I can let them out to go potty as frequently as needed. With the rainy season upon us, I make sure to dry the dogs with a clean towel each time they come back inside.

About: Hi! My name is Monae, and caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I have hands-on experience working with dogs through my volunteer work at the Humane Society and Resilient Sanctuary, where I help with walking dogs, providing enrichment and socialization, cleaning kennels, preparing food and water, and assisting with daily care. I am comfortable around dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I am currently pursuing a degree in psychology, and I have a strong interest in animal behavior and dog training. This has helped me develop patience, observation skills, and an understanding of how to build trust with both pets and their owners. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I will treat them with the same care, attention, and respect that I would want for my own pet. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your furry family member, and I am committed to providing reliable care and clear communication every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 Why book with me? * Volunteer experience with dogs at the Humane Society and Resilient Sanctuary * Experience with daily animal care, enrichment, and socialization * Reliable and responsive communication * Comfortable with dogs of various breeds and sizes * Passionate about animal behavior and dog training * Dedicated to making pets feel safe, happy, and loved I work full-time with TSA, so I currently offer pet care on Fridays and Saturdays. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, and I look forward to dedicating my days off to caring for pets. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or companionship, I will make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you're away. I live in an apartment, but I make sure dogs receive plenty of walks, exercise, potty breaks, and attention. I always follow the owner's instructions and take the time to learn each dog's routine and needs. I currently volunteer with the Humane Society and Resilient Hearts Animal Sanctuary, where I work with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My goal is to provide a safe, positive, and stress-free experience for every dog in my care. I am also pursuing a degree in psychology and will be starting the Karen Pryor Dog Trainer Foundations course. My long-term goal is to become a service dog trainer, so I'm passionate about continuing to learn and build experience working with dogs.
“Ricardo was great! I needed help giving my cat medication 2x daily. He let me know when he was heading over and arrived on time. Olive did great with him, she was relaxed and cooperated nicely. 😊”


About: I have taken care of dogs throughout my entire life, growing up with two of my own. What makes me special as a walker is my athletic ability to handle all types of dogs, and truly exercise your pet to guarantee their health when entrusted to me! I helped train my youngest dog, Mookie, and am ready to help out! I am currently training at Driveline Baseball, a facility in Kent, Washington. I have training sessions in the early afternoon, ranging from midday to around 5 at the latest. Pet care can fit into my daily routine at any other point in the day. I cannot care for pets in my home, but am happy to use a car to transport pets to parks for longer walks, use backyards if possible, and involve toys like rope for tug of war or a tennis ball to make sure your pet is thoroughly exercised.
“Monica is by far the BEST & most reliable cat sitter. Our cat is an escape artist & she kept him in our apartment and safe the entire month we were gone. She went above and beyond to send me hundreds of photos and videos while we were gone. Maintained a clean and safe area for the cats and when we came home our house was spotless. I’ve had 3 cat sitters in the past and Monica is by far the golden cat sitter. I’d hire her again in a heart beat & plan on doing so in the near future. I felt so at ease leaving Monica with my two cats!”

About: I care for my own dog daily and understand how important routines, patience, exercise, and attention are for keeping dogs comfortable and happy. I’m familiar with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe in a calm environment. I currently offer walks or drop offs and focus on creating a low-stress, comfortable experience for both pets and owners. Since I have a dog in the home, I prioritize safe introductions and compatibility before bookings. I’m dependable, communicative, and will provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their dog is being well cared for. I have availability during evenings and weekends, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout their stay. I keep my schedule manageable so I can provide a calm and reliable environment without overbooking. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I provide a calm environment, pay attention to behavior and energy levels, and make sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I can also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is doing well!
“My dogs and I had a short term move to Auburn and were fortunate enough to find Mariana. She was easy going and flexible with my often changing work schedule and patient and playful with my crazy dogs. For real. My dogs are crazy and she was so lovely with them. Thank you, Mariana!”

“she did an amazing job taking care of my Artemis. She will send me photos. Keep me updated and I really appreciated it. and she also respected my house, which was also appreciated.”
“Emma was great with our cat! She made sure she always had water and food, cleaned her litter box, and gave her lots of love and attention. She also sent lots of pictures and was great at communicating. Will definitely book her again!”

“Jen is really good with both of my cats and is very good with communicating any updates with the cats. My very skittish cat will even come out when she stops by. I highly recommend her!”

About: My experience mainly consists of taking care of my own dachshund, Hazel! I love spending time playing, walking, and bathing her. I have brief experience caring for friends and families animals. My work experience consists of childcare, which surprisingly can translate a lot to animal care- learning how to problem solve, making a safe environment, and always ensuring basic needs are met. I am studying environmental science at UW, so learning and caring for animals is a passion of mine I’m currently working part time and taking classes! My work schedule is every other week and my classes are online. I have free time to spend doing something I love, but it varies per week. I always approach animals calmly and safe at first, and ensuring we are both comfortable no matter what. When comfortable, I love to have fun and sharing lots of love for each other!

Federal Way dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jesse is fantastic! He was very patient with my mini pig, who is very stubborn and vocal. He took the time to understand and listen to her needs. He communicates well and kept me updated with my pet. I feel comfortable leaving my pet in his care and highly recommend him.

Cassie is the absolute best!! She has been letting my dog out/feeding him/playing with him when I have work for the last few months and is amazing! I never have to worry about him and know that she is taking great care of him! Cannot recommend Cassie enough! She is a true life saver!
