“Sophia does a great job and is very responsive and punctual. My shy kitty did great with her and I liked the detailed updates and pics she sent. Would recommend!”

About: I am obsessed with every animal under the sun, although the fluffy ones are my favorite. I have had a snake and hermit crabs as pets (in addition to the usual dogs and cats). I am notorious for remembering a pet's name while forgetting the name of their human. Nothing gives me more joy than meeting a new animal and learning all their quirks. I especially love working with pets who need a little extra care and attention. I spent five years living with a highly reactive dog, and have done reactivity training with my own dog for around 4 years. I have also served as a dog-walker for the local animal shelter, performing basic leash training with high-energy dogs. I really enjoy working animals on their terms - I am happy to sit quietly with a dog or cat until they feel comfortable enough to approach me. One of the reasons I like house-sitting and drop-ins are because pets tend to be much more confident and comfortable in their home, especially with a stranger. Whatever their needs, I will make sure to keep them comfy and happy. I have a flexible schedule and generally accommodate with enough notice. My transportation options are somewhat limited, so I prefer to work local to Vancouver. I am very respectful of my client's home and their established routine. I will work with you beforehand to make sure all your pet's needs are addressed.

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and small animals my whole life. I’ve even fostered with rescues in the past. I recently lost my own dog and thought maybe I could cuddle someone else’s while they travel. I work from home and have a fully fenced yard which your pet would have access to at any time they like! I work from home for the Dept of Veterans Affairs and usually have the back door open for access to the fenced yard throughout the day. Outside of errands, I am typically home with them. I have a fenced yard with plenty of access for the pets. When they’re here, they’re family so if they want in the sofa: great! Sleep in bed: even better! Or if they prefer the safety of their crate, that’s good too. I want them to feel comfortable. Unless they’re from the same household, I prefer to keep one dog at a time to make sure they get undivided attention. But, if they’re social and like to play, I live super close to the dog park! If you just want drop-in visits or walks, just let me know how I can best accommodate and I’ll be happy to work something out to suit your needs.
About: I recently moved here from Birmingham, Alabama and pet sat for a decade and I want to continue to connect with new families and their little floofs here in the pnw! I have worked with all ages of cats and dogs. I’ve also taken care of fish, hamsters and even bees on occasions. In the past I have had the same eight families I have looked after and met other pet families through them over time too. I have a fully free schedule since I just moved here and searching for a part time job. In the past I have been in school, worked at restaurants, and consistently pet sat as a combined full time because looking after little ones is a part of my daily routine that I cherish and wish to continue. So I am excited and able to be with your little ones as much as needed. I want the pet(s) to be relaxed and comfortable in their own homes when looking after them in order to not disrupt their regular routine too much. I prefer to meet the family and little one(s) before caring for the animal(s) before overnight sitting or for just drops ins. This way I can be well aquatinted with everyone and bring sense of calm into everyone’s daily routines from the start. This way, I can also learn in person their exact routines, any medication’s if applicable, any quirky things the pets might request in their routines, ie I once had an elderly dog thatI looked after that wanted his dinner “ heated up” in the microwave. So I would make “beeping’ nosies and pretend that his food was fancy like a humans. The family and I found it as a cute and an easy way to make him feel happy and eager to eat. The quirky the better is what I have always looked forward to when bonding with the little ones. For a meet and greet, if the family and animal(s) are ok with more of a “come on in” policy where there’s not a meet and greet first, particularly for drop ins, I’m more than happy to use with this method as well. For dogs in particular, I want to make sure that I keep up with their exercise routines with any amount of walks requested. If the family and floof(s) are more adventurous, I would happily like to take them on hikes, if it is wished to be incorporated into their routines.

“Amy is incredibly thoughtful and thorough! She gave us the peace of mind that our 3 shy cats were well taken care of during our trip. Will definitely book her again in the future!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs through family friends, along with hands-on experience raising multiple dogs, cats, and even lizards of my own. I also volunteer full-time at a dog shelter in my college town, where I work closely with dogs on training and building positive behaviors. In addition, I’m comfortable administering medication if your dog needs any extra care. I am currently at home for summer break giving me plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I am a University student, so my availability will only be from May-July as I will need to go back to North Carolina for school. I am extremely flexible and am so excited to get to know your pets! I have a fenced in back yard with 1 friendly dog. She plays better with larger dogs, but can adapt to everyone! I will prefer to pet sit/dog walk from your home over boarding, just because my home can be hectic from time to time, I want to ensure your pup has the best time possible with me! I love to go on long walks, hikes, drives, and all of the above with dogs, so activity will not be a problem for me :)
“Michaela recently met Vino and is working in a relationship with him. She is very kind, attentive to Vino’s needs and keeps communication open with us as parents. We can’t wait to continue partnering with her for Vino’s care.”


About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for them. I currently care for seven chickens, which has taught me responsibility, consistency, feeding, and paying close attention to their needs. I’ve also cared for my mom’s dog while she was away and helped care for my sister’s puppy. I have a flexible schedule right now and would love the opportunity to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. While I’m not quite ready to have a pet of my own, pet sitting feels like the perfect way for me to spend time with animals and provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I’m currently taking two classes on Monday and Wednesday mornings, each for about two hours. I also enjoy going to the gym and have a flexible schedule around my seven-year-old son’s school schedule. I’m usually up around 7 AM and have plenty of availability throughout the week. I’m happy to communicate with each pet parent and work together to find a schedule that works well for everyone. I’m very attentive to detail and always make your pet’s safety and comfort a priority. I understand that some owners prefer minimal communication while they’re away, so I try to respect that while still keeping them updated when needed. If I’m ever unsure about something, I’ll always ask rather than make assumptions. My home has plenty of space for pets to relax and play, along with a fully fenced backyard where they can safely go potty and enjoy some outdoor time. We have a calm, quiet home with few people coming and going, which helps pets feel comfortable. There is usually someone home, so pets are rarely left alone. If they do need to be alone, it would typically be no longer than 2–3 hours.
About: I have always had animals in my life; from cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, ferrets, the list goes on. My love for animals is immeasurable and I love spending my time helping others in need and getting to spend time with their fur babies. I’ve been watching friends’, family, and even co-workers’ animals for over 10 years. I am currently traveling with my husband while he works so I have plenty of free time in our new apartment in Camas, WA. We stay in a safe location and have ample space for nice, long walks as well as plenty of toys to keep your pup entertained! Just outside of our two bedroom apartment, I have a grassed area where my dogs love playing and enjoying the outdoors. My dogs love having friends over to run around and play with.
About: I have cared for all sorts animals my whole life, from as small as a gerbil to as large as a llama. I have previous experience working in a boarding kennel and veterinary office. I have experience working with special needs animals and administrating medications. I work full time, 6-8 hour shifts 5-6 days a week. I am almost always done with work between 1 and 2 pm at the latest. I don't have consistent days off but can be flexible with availability. For pets who need extra care throughout the day (potty breaks every 4 hours, 3+ meals, etc.), I can typically work accommodations into my schedule for those in the 98664/98683/98684 area. I am well-versed in behavioral signs of animals and will make them feel safe and trusted while I am in their homes. My main goal is always to support your pets in whatever way they need.
About: I have lots of time outside of work and enjoy going to parks for walks. Would love to take some dogs with me for walks. Outside of my 6-230 job I am free to take care of animals. I am up early and can walk dogs morning, after work and in the evening. I live in a townhouse with a fenced backyard. I would walk dogs multiple times a day and play with them. Happy to spend time with animals in a client's home if that is preferred.

“Brittany took such good care our cats of Ethel and Max while we were away that we really couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Our cats need medication, and Brittany made sure they were comfortable and cared for and kept us at ease while we were away. I would highly recommend her :)”


About: I have cared for dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for chickens as well. I previously volunteered with the Humane Society for Southwest Washington (HSSW), where I worked primarily with large dogs. Through my volunteer work, I completed dog safety training and learned how to recognize and de-escalate potentially stressful situations to help keep both animals and people safe. I am also an Eagle Scout. For my Eagle Scout service project, I designed and built an outdoor shelter structure for HSSW that provides volunteers and staff with protection from the weather while supervising dogs in the play yard. Working closely with the shelter further strengthened my commitment to animal welfare and my passion for caring for pets. I am generally available after 3:00 PM on weekdays. I have classes during the mornings and early afternoons on some weekdays, but I do my best to keep my schedule flexible for pet care. Animals are always my top priority, and I am committed to making sure they receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience handling dogs of all sizes through my volunteer work at the Humane Society for Southwest Washington, where I regularly walked and worked with large dogs. I received dog safety training and learned how to recognize and de-escalate stressful situations to help keep both pets and people safe. I'm comfortable handling strong or energetic dogs and use proper leash-handling techniques to ensure walks are safe and enjoyable. Through both my volunteer experience and completing my Eagle Scout service project at the animal shelter, I have spent significant time working in environments with dogs present and understand how to remain calm, attentive, and respectful of each animal's needs. When caring for pets, I treat them as if they were my own by following their routines, respecting their boundaries, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Melissa was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond while caring for our cats and made us feel so comfortable knowing they were in such great hands. She was attentive, reliable, communicative, and clearly went the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

“Brooklyn did a great job taking care of my kitty when I had to go out of town on short notice. She was wonderful to work with, her attention to detail and communication skills are top notch. My shy cat quickly warmed up to her after a few visits. This shows that Brooklyn is great with animals, as my pet is very selective about who she trusts. I look forward to booking with Brooklyn again and I would highly recommend her to others looking for a pet sitter.”

The median cost per visit for pet sitting in First Place is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - First Place
This was our first time using Rover and Sammy couldn’t have made our experience any better! She’s super communicative. Sent multiple pics during every visit. My pup looked so happy in every photo & clearly loved being around Sammy. 10/10. Would absolutely recommend Sammy to anyone & will rebook again!

Misty was an amazing help with my Jojo! The time away really had him anxious and Misty’s care was instrumental in Jojo relaxing and feeling better. She went above and beyond and helped jojo even beyond of what was asked (with my permission of course!). Misty’s updates were really appreciated and through them I could tell how much she knew about cats and noted things I had not realized. My care for jojo is now changed due to her services. Top notch pet sitter!

Sydney was such a godsend! She sent a bunch of photos and left a detailed note with every check in, which is great for someone like myself with a bunch of anxiety. When we got home I could tell the pets missed us but had not been lacking care and attention. She went the extra mile and was easy to communicate and work with. It was such a relief. Will definitely book with her again.

Lisa is so wonderful to work with for drop in care! Her communication is great, keeps us updated with pics, and never hesitates to ask questions if she’s unsure about anything. Asking for a physical care plan was such a thoughtful touch that gave us complete peace of mind knowing Ragnar was in great hands. We appreciate her attention to detail and care so much!

This was our first booking with Sophia, even during the introduction visit we just got a really good feeling about her, she was super friendly and asked a lot of questions about out kitties. She was super communicative and took lots of photos during her visits. The cats were in very good spirits when we returned which tells me they had great care while we were away. I would highly recommend Sophia to care for your pets and I hope she would want to care for ours again. Thanks Sophia!

Kristen was an amazing sitter. I've used Rover in the past and have had great sitters who took care of my two cats. My cats tend to be skittish when I'm away and don't always eat all of the food put out for them. This time, Roo and Pachanga were immediately comfortable with her, and the pictures she sent every day showed Roo eating, which was unusual. I found out in a chat with Kristen, that she was distracting Pachanga while Roo ate, so she would be able to eat in peace. Which went above and beyond. I came home to happy and relaxed cats, who showed zero signs of stress or distress. She played with them and I could see in the pictures she sent after every visit, they were being their usual silly selves. I will absolutely use Kristen in the future, knowing they will be in good hands and well taken care of.

Shelley was amazing yet again! She was super patient yet persistent with our very skiddish dog. She also won over our older more assertive dog that can be intimidating very quickly. She wasn’t scared. She knew what to do. I love getting pics and updates when we’re not home. The reassurance is priceless. We can actually relax on vacation and know they are getting great care. She’s awesome 🤩
