“While on vacation, we decided to stay an extra day. I'm so glad that I had Tsz Wing here to help. She is very responsibe. She communicates well and gave my cat a somewhat complicated meal routine with meds. I will definitely hire her again.”


“Meghan was been walking our old little Shih tzu for almost 2 weeks now and she has been super reliable and great with our little man! I can tell from the photos that our dog really enjoys his time with her ! We will continue to keep her as our dog walker as long as possible.”


About: I’ve consistently taken care of dogs for the past four years. I have two pups of my own, both male pugs, that I love very much and will take care of your pups with the same amount of love and care. My goal is to communicate with you so that your dog, no matter the age or energy level, has the best time while their owner is away! I am a student and in the summer work part-time, so any Rover job can be tailored to my schedule as needed! I work for small chunks at a time in the afternoons, so I can see your pup before and after (if needed). Let’s work something out together! I love my own little pugs very much and understand the love that dog parents have for their pups. Communication is extremely important to me so I can prepare for your dog before hand and can communicate back to you how they are doing!

About: I was practically raised by dogs as a child. I spent a lot of time with various dogs such as Irish Setters, Labs, Poodles, and Hounds; bringing them to parks and beaches to walk and play. I can throw a ball pretty far, and a Frisbee even further. I can help reinforce verbal commands and administer oral medication. I am currently self employed, so I am able to set my own schedule. I can accommodate your pet's routine while you are away, helping both of you stay as low stress as possible. Your pet gets to stay comfortable in a familiar space. I am typically a calm and quiet person who can assert themselves as necessary, keeping your pets calm, safe and reassured.

“Mackenzie took great care of my senior kitty! It was such a relief to find someone to feed and give attention to my cat while I was out of town. I hope Mackenzie is available the next time I travel. Thank you!”


About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life and have experience taking care of pets of all ages. Animals bring me so much happiness. Since I cannot have a pet of my own while in college, I will give all my love and attention to your pets to provide excellent care. As a college student on summer break, I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets. Im available all weekdays and most weekends, I can stop by whatever time is best for your furry friend! I will be unable to house your dog overnight in my home, but I am more than willing to stay extended periods with your pets if needed.

About: I have been taking care of pets since my childhood, as my family always had dogs, cats, and reptiles. I even had a bunny and a hedgehog at one point, which you don’t see very often. I have seen a large variety of personality and needs from all of the pets I have owned, as well as pets of family and friends who have needed assistance with care when they are away. I have experience with anxious animals, reactive animals, etc. so I am very aware of different stressors for pets, and want to make sure I give them the best experience in my care. I am currently working full-time from home, so I am fully available for pet care after work around 5pm. Because I work from home I am more flexible if I need to step out at times throughout the day to provide drop in pet care services. I can even bring my work with me if of course more time permits to a certain caregiving job. I prioritize your pet’s safety by keeping your dog on leash at all times during walks and being aware of my surroundings while on walks. It is important for me to be notified of any behavior issues before working with your animal to keep your animal, other people/animals, and myself safe. Whether I am caring for your pet in home or out for a walk, I will always make sure your animal feels safe and comfortable to the best of my ability.

About: I have taken care of my relatives, friends, and neighbors pets since I was 12. Typically, I have taken care of dogs, but I do have 3 cats of my own. The most dogs I have taken care of at once is six large dogs who all had different diets and meds. What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and needs. I’ve cared for multiple dogs at once, each with their own medication and dietary routines—so I’m confident managing schedules, special instructions, and a house full of wagging tails. I’ve house sat for several days at a time and know how to keep a home running smoothly and securely. I also grew up with cats and understand their need for both independence and affection. Beyond the usual pets, I have experience with livestock, especially goats and llamas/alpacas, which has made me calm, observant, and quick on my feet. Whether it’s furry, woolly, or somewhere in between, your animals are in caring, capable hands. As a college student with a lifelong love for animals, I bring both responsibility and heart to every pet-sitting job. I treat your pets like family because to me, they are. I make sure doors and gates are secure, follow feeding and medication routines carefully, and provide calm, attentive care when your pets need comfort. While you're away, your furry companions will feel safe, loved, and right at home.

“Scott was great! I’d highly recommended him to care for your dog. We have three pups which can be a lot for one to handle which Scott did with ease. He was dependable and prompt and is a great communicator. Daily updates and pictures were especially appreciated and provided regular assurance. Thanks Scott - will definitely use again in the future!”


About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the way I connect with each animal as if they were my own. I understand that every pet has their own personality, quirks, and needs, so I adapt my care to match - whether that’s guiding an eager puppy through new training, keeping a playful cat engaged, or offering gentle, reassuring care to a senior companion. As a cat-mom of two, I combine patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection to create a safe, happy environment where pets feel comfortable, loved, and understood while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I make time for it every day. I’m flexible with scheduling and can adjust to morning, afternoon, or evening visits to match each pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddle breaks, I enjoy building pet care into my regular rhythm so every animal gets consistent, reliable attention. When caring for fur babies, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I stick to their familiar routines, from mealtimes to play sessions, and make sure their space is secure and hazard-free. I take time to build trust through gentle care and attention, so they feel comfortable and happy. In a client’s home, I treat both their pets and their space with the utmost respect. My goal is for every fur baby to feel loved, safe, and right at home, no matter where they are.

About: With over 8 years of pet sitting experience, I am a lifelong animal lover, dog owner, and caretaker. I grew up with loving and happy golden retrievers and black labs. While living in Alaska and volunteering with sled dog teams, I gained hands-on experience in high-precision training, round-the-clock supervision, and positive, enriching activities. I’m comfortable working with all breeds and personalities and I have cared for newborn puppies, pregnant mothers, seniors, and special needs animals. My top priority is to be your dog’s best friend while you’re away—someone they trust, feel safe with, and genuinely enjoy spending time with. As a UW student-athlete, my summer weekdays and weekends are wide open! I have plenty of flexibility and free time in my current routine, so your pets will get tons of attention, playtime, and walks. My top priorities are safety, comfort and routine. I provide attentive, in-home care, and you can count on me to leave your home clean, tidy, and even better than I found it. I carefully follow each pet’s routine—meals, exercise, playtime, medications, and any special instructions—so they feel relaxed, secure, and loved while you're away. I’m also very active and can provide long walks, play sessions, or runs for high-energy dogs. Whether your pet thrives on a structured schedule or just wants extra snuggles and enrichment, I’m here to support whatever makes them happiest.

About: I signed up for Rover last year after my 12 year old German Shepard dog passed away. I needed to be around dogs but I was not ready to adopt one. This past May, we adopted a rescue dog. Zoey is a mix who was a rescue through Washington German Shephard rescue organization. She is a wonderful dog; we are very lucky. I do still miss dog sitting for other's people's dogs. I enjoyed all the different breeds and personalities. I would like to continue either boarding in my house or in the pet person's house. My partner and I both grew up with dogs and will treat them like our own. I am now retired and I am home most of the time. I am retired and will have plenty of time for your fur baby. I go for a long walks every morning and night and would love to have your dog to accompany me. My backyard is fully fenced. I can feed your pet on any schedule. I am available to take your dog on many walks and also let out into the backyard.

“Claire did an amazing job watching my cat! She followed all of my detailed instructions (I was nervous about leaving my cat alone for the first time) and even stopped by a couple extra times when he needed more attention. I highly recommend her!”
