About: I've been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was kid. I have professional experience with dog and cat boarding, sitting, walking, grooming, daycare, etc. I love animals and cant wait to meet yours. I work from home as a caretaker so my schedule is extremely flexible and there is always someone home to watch any animals we have visiting. I dont have any animals at home at the moment so there's a clean slate for me to focus on any specialized care your pet may need while in my care.

About: I have cared for dogs and cats throughout my lifetime. I am a pet-assisted therapy researcher and truly believe in the mind and body benefits of caring for animals. The human - animal bond is very real and knowing my dog is being cared for by a responsible and caring individual while I am away is so important. Hence, I provide the same excellent care I expect of someone caring for Soley. I am a semi-retired university professor and I walk my dog every day on average 5 miles. I provide clean and caring pet services for family and friends. I have excellent references. I am a neat conscious and very clean person. I believe in providing my pets the same standard of cleanliness as I do myself and other guests. I am mindful of dogs interacting with other dogs and people when walking them. They are always on a leash.

“Mary-Elizabeth is experienced with dogs and knew how to approach my rescue dog Luna, who can be skittish around people at first. She gently approached Luna to minimize fearfulness. Luna warmed up to her quickly and they enjoyed a walk together.”

About: Pet sitting for over 12 years. Highly immersed with the diversity of personalities all animals that I’ve cared for. From extremely anxious to overactive! All are welcome to what I call my animal sanctuary where your furbaby will be given all the love and care that I can provide while they are away from home! My only goal is create a safe space for your furbaby ☺️ They are my passion and my current studies in vet assisting help me get to know animals in a healthy level and provide safety always I cuddle with them all the time! I allow them on my bed and couches, I give them home cooked meals and filtered water bc they deserve to be spoiled lol

About: I treat every dog like my own and focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment. I’m patient, reliable, and always pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, or a senior who needs gentle care, I adjust my approach to make them feel comfortable. Im currently working remotely and part time, so I have plenty of time to make pet care part of my daily routine. Great help for you and for me I create a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel relaxed and happy. I keep a consistent routine with regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and quiet rest periods. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, behavior, and energy level, and adjust activities to fit their personality.

“Thank you!”

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life, and I have endless love for them. I enjoy taking them for walks, playing with them, or snuggling on the couch. I can be strict and set rules, while still forming a bond of trust. My schedule is flexible allowing me to easily take care of animals since I am at home the majority of the time. I am active so walking and playing with the animals is not a problem at all. I have a large yard for them to play in, and my home is clean with lots of comfortable places for the dogs or cats.

“Ryland is so great with my 10 month old puppy Cooper. Cooper can be a little hesitant with new people but Ryland’s good skills and patience have made Cooper excited to see him! We both appreciate the walks and energy outlet they provide.”

About: Hello my name is Travers! I love dog sitting because I'm passionate about dogs and like to exercise at the same time. Something different about me is I'm a little shy at first, but very comfortable around animals. My experience with dogs comes from being around them from a young age. My older brother is a big dog person too and he had a black lab puppy when I was young and I loved him ( great dog !) I've never turned down a friend's request to puppy sit... I've been a house painter for many years, and a small scale glass blower, now looking to hopefully get into dog care full time... so I'm very open to schedules and have most days available to puppy sit!... I do not have a yard but I live in dog-loving Queen Anne, where there are always dogs & their caregivers out and about, and some nice little parks & trails. I have a comfortable, clean apartment that allows pets, so over-night stays are welcome. I think some great skills of mine that would correlate well with dog sitting are: I'm very patient, reliable, and can throw a stick really far, lol !!! I hope you give me the chance to win over your beloved pet and your friendship! Thanks

“Leah is SO wonderful! She really helped me out on short notice. She is a great communicator, and helped feed my dog after his walk!! You’re in good hands with her. Thank you so much Leah for your help again!”

About: I truly love animals. I have been dog/cat walking/sitting for many years for clients, friends, and family. I am currently studying right now so I will be able to spend the time to care for your animal/s. I have owned many animals throughout my life. My last dog was a husky. He was the sweetest most loyal friend to me. I have cared for many different types and sizes of dogs and cats. I know that each animal has their own individual needs. I will cater to the needs. I will keep your animal clean warm and nourished. I will make sure one has the proper amount of exercise. I will also create standards and rules so that your animal can trust that I will keep them safe.

“Brendan is reliable and wonderful with our Siberian Husky! We really appreciate that he connects with our pup and takes him on long, brisk walks.”

About: Hi there! My name is Logan, and I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets through Rover and in my personal life. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and needs. My goal is simple: make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every animal is different, and I’m happy to follow the routine you already have in place. Whether that means specific feeding times, walks, potty schedules, crate routines, medications or special instructions, lots of exercise, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet receives the care they’re accustomed to. I’m also attentive to body language and behavioral cues, which helps me recognize what an animal needs and adjust accordingly. I also have hands-on training experience. I personally trained my Siberian Husky, Atlas, and completed training classes with him through Petco. Working with a high-energy and intelligent breed has given me plenty of experience with patience, consistency, exercise, boundaries, and keeping dogs mentally stimulated. For dogs who love to stay active, I have a large, securely fenced backyard with plenty of room to run and play, along with trails and walking routes nearby. For dogs who prefer a quieter stay, I’m just as happy providing a comfortable environment, attention, and companionship at their own pace. I’m also very comfortable caring for cats and understand that they often require a different approach. Whether your cat wants to follow me around all day or would rather have their own space, I’ll respect their personality and make sure their normal routine is maintained. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your pet like a member of the family, follow your instructions closely, and keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in experienced and caring hands. I normally have a flexible routine that can be worked around whatever is best for you and your furball. I do ask for a few hours notice to be available. I treat your home as my own and your pets as my own. I normally like to keep things clean, cozy, and respectful. I feel like that’s the normal experience anyone wants when walking into a home or meeting someone for the first time. So why not make it any everything you do type of thing!

About: I have had animals since I can remember. I love to play and have them on my lap. Taking them on long walks or car rides. giving lots of treats for good behavior. i have had animals off all ages so I'm ready for anything, plus i can do cats as well I Currently work part time, so usually I go on a nice long walk and give my dog undivided attention. I try for a walk every day of the week if can because its exercise for me and the animals. I can even go hiking should it be needed. I have a x pen' d yard and 1 other animal in the house so generally I will come to you for service, as it would be hard on my pets. Plus its a small condo and space is limited.

About: Hi! My name is Cathy, and ever since I was a little kid, I have had a huge fascination and connection with animals, specifically dogs. As a younging I'd spend my free time researching dog breeds for fun, and before I was old enough to work on Rover, I I hung up fliers advertising my own dog walking business. Since I love dogs so much, I have heaps of experience walking and pet sitting all kinds of dogs. From my late large dog, Quiver, a Flat-coated Retriever, to a medium sized Australian Shepard, to a Miniature Schnauzer. I will dedicate 100% of my attention and time to making sure your dog is always happy and healthy! I have years of experience caring for senior dogs. When I heard about my dog’s disease prognosis, I began hand cooking him meals chock full of cancer-fighting vegetables and supplements in addition to his dry food. This included (as seen in my photos) sweet potatoes, red cabbage, broccoli, turmeric, fish oil, mushroom powder, etc. The vet had projected he would only live another 2 months, with my care and the change of his food, he lived and loved over 2 more years! So if your dog has a special diet, do not hesitate to let me know. I am currently a student who mainly works from home so I have plenty of time and a wide open schedule to care for your precious pets. My house is smoke free, pet safe and pet friendly. You can rest assured your companion is safe, cared for and happy with me. I love dogs and dogs love me!
