“Vanessa did a great job with my dog! After not having a good pet sitting experience a couple years ago with someone else, this was much better and I was at ease. I was able to go out and do something without much worry. Thank you!”


“Robin Is an excellent pet sitter takes her duties seriously she’s very friendly great personalities to work with pets very knowledgeable we’ve never left any of our fur babies with a sitter before nor our house with anyone besides family she made us feel comfortable before we left even more more comfortable while we were gone with updates and pictures of what was going on in the home and when we came home the house was spotless and the dog was happy I want to think for a great experience and I will definitely book with her again”


“Mandy was great with our pack! She took great care of the housemaid kept it nice and clean. The babies all seem to enjoy her company. If anything, they probably want us gone more often! She sent us plenty of photos and videos and also took our youngest dog out to hang out with her dog so he can get some energy out. Will definitely book again. Thank you Mandy!”


“First time using an online dog/house sitting app. Cassandra was absolutely amazing. 10/10. We won’t be going back to friends/friends kids to house sit for us. Super nice adult, just who you want to be in your house with your pets while you are away. Great communication. Kept us updated every day and with fun pictures of the adventures she took our two dogs on. And boy did they get spoiled! Walks, trips to the park, wash and brush, really above and beyond. The house was immaculate upon our return as well. She was happy to water plants and feed the chickens and collect eggs etc. Again, amazing. If you need a sitter, and Cassandra is available, do not think twice.”


“She was fantastic! Always updated us with pictures and was super thoughtful about the heat and walks with our pups. She even asked about house plants that potentially needed watering. When we came home they were very chill and happy. We could tell they had lots of love. We’ve booked on Rover many times and she has been one of the best. Funny side note: Upon returning home, getting settled and taking our pups on an evening walk after it had cooled down we ran into our neighbors across the street and they, unprompted, raved that she was the best sitter they’ve observed at our house. Highly recommend and will ask to sit our pups/house again in the future.”


“My puppies had a wonderful time with Theo, and I received daily updates and pictures. They were comfortable, had lots of fun, and got lots of cuddles. She is able to handle their rambunctiousness with care and understanding. Highly recommend, great communication, easy to work with. I will definitely be asking for Theo again! I think she is the perfect dog sitter!”


“Vanessa really put our minds at ease while watching our dog while we were out of state for the holidays. She took care of our Boxer with just as much attention and care as we do and he absolutely loved spending time with her. I can tell that she is a dog lover just like myself! She was also very communicative, tidy, even made home made dog treats for our dog to celebrate Christmas.”


About: With over a decade of experience as a trusted dog sitter, I have had the privilege of caring for countless furry companions, including those belonging to neighbors, friends, and coworkers. From goofy poodles (like my own) to energetic vizsla's, I've had the pleasure of nurturing a diverse range of breeds and personalities. My commitment to building strong relationships with both pets and their owners has led to countless referrals and repeat clients, solidifying my reputation as a go-to sitter in the area. I prioritize safety, exercise, and lots of cuddles!! I have a work schedule that gives me flexibility Thursdays and Fridays so I’m able to provide services for up to 4 days at a time :) I don’t have a pet friendly rental home so I prefer to care for pets at the clients home. This is what I’ve normally done for friends and family over the years. Plus pets seem more comfy in their own homes!

“Kirsten was great! She helped us out with really short notice, and was very flexible & accommodating. Cooper seemed to connect with her right away! We will definitely book her again!!”


“Alison was the most wonderful pet/ house sitter I have had. She took such great care of my dog and house for 12 days. She sent me pictures of my pup which was so appreciated. She even cleaned up her poops! Wow no one has ever done that.”


About: With over 30 years of experience as a pet owner of both cats and dogs, I’ve naturally transitioned into pet sitting and house sitting for others—starting with friends and family, and growing through word of mouth to care for pets of friends of friends. I’m a lifelong animal lover who takes pride in providing loving, reliable care for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s a short visit or a long-term stay, I follow instructions carefully, maintain a clean and tidy environment, and prioritize clear, consistent communication with pet owners for total peace of mind. I currently work weekends only 12-8pm in Olympia so I am free around those hours and all week long! I am available for drop ins as well as overnight stays. I take great pride in caring for my 11-year-old rescue cat in my apartment, creating a calm and nurturing environment tailored to her needs. From maintaining a clean, cozy space to providing regular meals, playtime, and gentle affection, I ensure she feels secure and loved every day. This same level of attentiveness and compassion extends to the pets I care for in other people’s homes. I prioritize each animal’s comfort and routine, while respecting the owner's space and preferences, fostering a sense of safety and trust. Whether it's feeding, administering medication, or offering companionship, I approach every pet with patience, reliability, and genuine care.

“Alexis did a wonderful job with my pit bull Jemma. Very attentive and sent lots of pictures. The stress of leaving Jemma has always been a problem but now that have Alexis I will be having him take care of her again”

“Brett was wonderful. On the day of my departure, one of my dogs became very ill and I left Brett with a hot mess and lots of meds to administer. He owned the situation. When I returned, my dog was happy and eating again; her usual zip on full display. I highly recommend Brett and will call on him again.”


About: Throughout my life, I have been very fortunate to grow up with animals. I currently have two boy cats that are a year old. They are my partners in crime. When I had a dog I spent time taking him to agility courses and dog parks. With my passion for animals, I have had the opportunity to watch other pets as well. I have sat for cats as well as dogs. In these past situations, I made sure to ask what the animal's needs are. When watching one of my client's dogs who has special needs. She had disabled back legs and needed extra assistants while watching her, such as walking slow and caring her up and downstairs. Even with her disability, she is full of love! :) Every animal has its own personality just like people. I can't wait to meet your pet and spread the love with them! Thank you! I am currently unemployed because I just graduated college. I am looking for a job but while I wait I would love to have more animals in my life! I have house and animal sat for many years. I am a great listener and great at asking questions making sure everyone involved is happy and comfortable with me in their home with their animals. I am used to adapting to new rules and homes.

“Stephanie took on her first time with us so well! We were out of town with no signal. She met our dogs once and did a fantastic job caring for them in our absence. I would definitely recommend Stephanie to others!”


“Maddie was our first overnight Rover sitter and she did great! Our dogs were well-cared for & cuddled and our house was spotless. We absolutely recommend her to other pet parents!”


“Chloe watched my pups again for us! She left the house cleaner then when she came. The pups were happy. She played with them, cuddled them, and took them for walks! Will definitely be using her again next time we need a sitter! Thank you for everything Chloe!”

Simonne G.
“I had the pleasure of entrusting my dogs (which are like my kids), with Simonne during a recent trip, and I couldn’t be happier with the love, care and attention she provided! From the start, Simonne was incredibly responsive and took the time to ask thoughtful questions about my pups' routine, preferences, favorite toys and treats, and any special needs. My dogs were instantly in love with her! Throughout the stay, Simonne sent regular updates with pictures or videos, which reassured me that my babies were in great hands. It was clear that they were comfortable and relaxed in her care, and Simonne even went above and beyond by engaging in fun activities to keep them entertained. I also appreciated the professionalism and reliability—Simonne followed all instructions carefully and treated my dogs like family, just like I am treating them. It was a huge relief knowing that they were being cared for by someone so trustworthy and caring. I would highly recommend Simonne to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet sitter. I will definitely be rebooking for future trips! Thank you for everything Simonne, and thank you for allowing me to have a stress free trip and not be all worried and stressed out about my pups!”

Bailey W.
“Bailey has loved animals since before she could walk or talk. She is incredibly compassionate and thoughtful of others whether they walk on 2 feet or 4 feet. It is not hyperbole to say she is as honest, responsible and reliable as you could ask for in a dog sitter or a person in general. She has a strong drive to always do her best and has many school and sports awards that back this up. And as a bonus she almost always wears a big, bright smile. To know Bailey is to love Bailey. And I know without a doubt she will love your canine family member!”
