We had to book last minute travel due to a family emergency, and Maria was able to accommodate us on short notice. Communication was great, and she was flexible with our needs and updates. Our Maltese, Marley, doesn’t do well with other dogs, so boarding would have been extra stressful. We really appreciated being able to schedule three drop-in visits per day. Thanks for taking care of our fur babies while we were away!

About: I’ve been professionally walking and caring for dogs and cats for about 5 years now. I’ve grown to understand how to give all sorts of different pets the care they need. More than just walks, I offer adventures to the park or beach. If you have a social friendly pup I have a very loving sweet Boarder Collie that would be thrilled to play and interact with your pup. If you have a nervous or less social pup i’m happy to offer them the one on one time they need. My schedule changes but im usually always able to make time to drop in or walk any pets close by! Mornings and evening are when Im most available. I have worked with many dogs both aggressive and calm and I have a good understanding on avoiding triggers, creating safe spaces for pets to play, and caring for every pet based on their personality and needs.

About: I’m an avid dog lover with 9 years of experience as a dog owner, caring for 7 small dogs back home in California. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family, and I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs at once. I look forward to meeting new furry friends and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for! I am currently a graduate student at the University of Puget Sound pursueing my Doctors of Physical Therapy. Currently during the school semester I am available on the weekneds but over the summer will be available all days of the week. I prioritize safety by following each pet’s routine closely and keeping dogs on leash while staying aware of our surroundings. Each of my dogs back home has their own personalities and preferances on how they like to be walked and interact with the environment and so translate that to make sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I provide regular updates for peace of mind as I will give them the quality of care as if they were my own little pups back home.

About: I have about 10 years of experience in veterinary medicine. I worked in rescue for 2 years, then general practice for just over 6 years, and have been working in a mobile oncology clinic for the last 2 years. Any medications or special treatments needed are no problem for me. I have provided pet sitting services many times throughout the last 10 years and even prior to working in the veterinary industry I enjoyed helping people care for their animals while out of town for various lengths of time. I currently work 3 days a week in person in oncology and 1 day a week remote. My oncology days vary in hours but typically I start at 7:30am and am done most days before 4:00pm. I have no problem with crating or utilizing any special barriers or set up required to keep your pet safe in your house. I have a specific routine and set up that works for my dog in my own home, so I understand that every pet is a little different and unique.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 10 years, providing consistent, attentive care for dogs of different sizes and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, administering oral medications, light grooming such as brushing, and, most importantly, giving plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, observant, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s extra exercise, gentle care, or simply companionship. I am currently working 5 days a week, and will be available on my days off. I miss dog sitting/dog walking as a hobby and would love to start doing it again. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs at my house, so I prefer to take care of the pets at the owners home. I would care for them by playing, taking them outside as needed, staying on a feeding schedule and possibly bathing if the owners request !

Tiffany was amazing! She took such good care of our 4 dogs while we were out of town for the week. She kept them on schedule and in their normal routines, it's like we were even gone! She went above and beyond to make sure we came home to a calm house.

Stephanie has been doing walk ins with my Boxer puppy and my Belgian Shepherd for a couple of months now - 3 days a week. She has gone above and beyond to make their experience positive - buying them a special toy to play with while she is there, picking up puppy wipes, bringing treats, quick to respond to me via text, respectful of my home, and being flexible with her schedule. My dogs are thrilled when she arrives and Stephanie has given me peace of mind when I am at work knowing the puppy is getting her time out of the crate that I am otherwise unable to provide her. Stephanie was not my first sitter on Rover, and she was brought in to cover a transition between sitters. I was thrilled to have her continue on once I realized how reliable and thoughtful she is.

About: With over a decade of dedicated experience as a pet sitter, my passion for animals runs deep. I've spent the last 10 years providing dependable and loving care to countless dogs, cats, and other pets, treating each one with the same love and attention I gave my own. My long history in pet care has equipped me with the skills to handle everything from daily walks and feedings to administering medications and managing special needs, giving you complete peace of mind while you are away. I look forward to meeting you, Payton I work as a nanny 7-2 Monday-Thursday. I will not be out of the house for longer than those 8 hours for work before checking in on them. Caring for a pet in a clients home can often be easier than having them stay at my home. Most pets are most comfortable with areas that are familiar to them which is no issue at all to me. I’m flexible and don’t mind if I commute to work.

About: Hello! I have owned dogs for the past 10 years, and have been dog sitting for 5 years. My goal is to keep them happy and healthy. I will treat every dog in my care like my own. Hello! I have a collie mix named Sadie who has taught me a lot as a dog owner. I love all pets especially dogs, and it is a joy to see a smile on a dog’s face. I treat every dog in my care like my own in that I believe their physical and mental health is important to a happy dog. It can be a little stressful for a dog to be in a new environment with a new person, so I like to keep their routine the best I can.

About: I’ve taken care on animals since I was a very young kid. There’s never been a time where i’ve been in a household without animals so I’m very comfortable with all animals and share a deep love for them! I work Friday, Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday at Trader Joe’s from 2pm-10pm. All other days of the week are free and on the days I do work, I am still able to make stops/walk your pup before/after my shift! An animals safety is number one on my priority list and would never put any animal is a position that is uncomfortable or dangerous for them.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life—from puppies and kittens to senior pets. I was raised around both a 220 lb St. Bernard and a 10 lb Yorkie, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I always provide the same level of love and care that I give my own pets! I currently work full-time Monday–Friday as a nanny, but I’m available anytime after 5pm on weekdays and fully available on weekends. I have plenty of time to stop by for check-ins, walks, and to give your pets lots of attention and care. While I don’t offer boarding in my own home, I provide safe, reliable care in your home and on walks. I’m very mindful about leash safety, surroundings, and sticking to your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I’ll always treat your pet like my own and keep you updated along the way.

About: Hi! I grew up locally on Fox Island with my family. We’ve always had 1-2 dogs at a time from puppy to elder. I’ve always taken on the responsibility that comes with dogs from a young age to now - feeding, play time, walks, cleaning and overall care. I have been active on Rover for the last three years and currently operate my own LLC. I reside in a quiet neighborhood at a dead end street with my five year old son - who is also great with dogs! My house includes a large fully fenced backyard - plenty of room for running, ball tossing and lounging. I have a flexible schedule which allows for ample potty breaks, outdoor time as well as extra care and attention! I work 2 miles from my house part time M-F, 9 am - 2 pm with a mid day outside break for dogs on my lunch break. I host multiple client’s pets at a time and am only taking on dogs that are friendly and get a long with other dogs. I do not currently have any pets of my own and have added interior cameras to monitor dogs if I’m away. I work with two local sitters as well to accommodate additional outdoor time, play time and potty breaks.

This is the first time we have used Katiana. She came highly recommended from our neighbor. She dropped in the week before her visit to meet the dogs. Then she was very prompt about her arrival time when we had her stop to take care of the dogs midday. We will be relying on her for multiple-day needs in the future.
