“Vanessa is great, this is the second time she has been available at the last minute to help with our dog. I injured my knee and couldn’t walk her so I was super grateful that Vanessa was able to help!”


“Tek came back from her walk with Nadia and it was clear I’ve been downgraded to her second favorite person 😒 (Joke…sorta. But Nadia is great. 10/10)”


“Sterling takes amazing care of my hyper handul of a belgian malinois/husky mix, Fergie always seems happy and well taken care of when i come home on the weekends, she goes above and beyond walking my pup farther and longer than the minimum of 30 mimutes and i greatly appreciate that, thank you!”


“Paige is my first intro to Rover and it’s been a great experience so far. She is great with communication, offering detailed updates and is quick to respond. The care and time she gave to my pup made me feel more comfortable about (my first time) leaving her for a big stretch of time. Thanks Paige!”


“Sarah is great! My dog is very attached to me and sceptical of strangers. She seemed to like Sarah right away. Dogs have a pretty good judge of character.”

I have a big yard and cats to keep your pet company ( they have their own rooms of your pet isnt a fan).

About: Aside from dog & cat sitting for friends and family, I am a pet care associate/front end manager at one of the highest rated doggy daycares in Spokane WA. My job involves caring for dogs throughout the day in a daycare setting, feeding, and medicating. My day to day work setting ranges from caring for 60-150+ dogs. I have experience in caring for dogs who deal with seizures, and can effectively tend to an active seizure if need be. I can perform the heimlich on dogs if needed as well. I can care for dogs of all ages, puppy-senior. My personal pup at home struggles with Addisons disease, in which requires a daily pill and monthly injection, so i understand the importance of medication on time, and administrated correctly. Whatever your pup needs, my care will be 100% attentive and filled with love and appreciation for your pet❤️ I love what I do! My everyday life at work is ensuring dogs/cats are safe and happy. Animals are my life, so I love extending my free time outside of work to rover, so I can spend more time doing what I love❤️ Pet care is apart of my daily life. Not only is it what I do for a living, but I have two sweet dogs at home, and a kitty. One of my dogs was unfortunately diagnosed with Addisons disease when he was 9, leaving me to be extremely attentive with dogs in my care. Aside from caring for my personal babies, I’m taking care of over 90 dogs a day, keeping them safe and happy ❤️ I am able to care for your pet in any way needed in your home. I can crate, medicate, feed, walk, and let out your pup:) Feeding wet/raw food is no problem, and different forms of medications are not a problem either! (injections included) :)

“I needed a last minute dog walker and James responded right away! Trigger very much enjoyed his walk. Would definitely recommend.”



“So grateful for Alex! Thanks for being a fantastic communicator, being understanding with timing, and being an all around amazing dog walker!”


About: I’ve been caring for animals in a variety of capacities since I was 10 years old, from hosting pets overnight in my home to visiting multiple pets daily around the neighborhood. As a nurse by profession, I bring a strong background in administering medications and following specialized care routines, which makes me especially confident in working with animals who need a little extra attention. I absolutely love animals and genuinely enjoy getting outside for walks and runs with them—combining exercise with quality companionship. Right now, I’m finishing up my senior year of college, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I spend most days studying. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine—it gives me a reason to get up, move around, and spend time doing something I love. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks or visits and I genuinely enjoy the break that caring for animals brings to my day. The care I provide is always tailored to each individual animal. I take the time to understand your pet’s unique needs, habits, and preferences—whether that means sticking to a strict medication schedule, preparing a specific diet, or simply maintaining a comforting routine. As a nurse by trade, I’m highly detail-oriented and confident handling special care regimens, from administering medications to observing restrictions or special needs. My background ensures that your pet receives attentive, safe, and compassionate care at all times. I take pride in being someone you can count on to treat your pets with the same level of care I’d want for my own.

“Julie is awesome! Our dogs love her, she is quick to respond and is very punctual with arranged times for walks. Would absolutely recommend her for anyone looking for dog care.”


About: Hi! I’m Emily and I have the best job in the world! I work with humans and dogs to create a strong foundation built on trust, guidance, respect, and leadership. Backstory: I mentored with a veterinarian through high school, and I was so blessed to get incredible hands on skills medically caring for dogs and cats (and even some hamsters and birds)! Due to this, I’m very comfortable with the often not-so-pretty side to dirty messes and medical needs. If you have a pet with special needs, let’s chat about how we can keep them the most comfortable and cared for in my home! I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Human Development and Family Studies before moving overseas. There, I ran an animal rescue, overseeing the care and fostering of about 100 cats and dogs at a time, many of which I helped foster. Once stateside, I decided to continue working with animals and add in “human” training. I began training basic obedience and correcting behaviors for puppy and adult dogs, and I also worked with psychiatric service dogs. Throughout this, most owners I spoke with felt THEY were the ones lacking knowledge, and so I’ve adapted my training and care to the needs of ALL family members. Turns out, my degree wasn’t for nothing ;) About our family: I have a baby girl, two wonderful stepsons, three dogs, and three kitties that make our family wild and so lovely. We are an outdoorsy family, and we all take part in the care of the animals. Our kiddos have grown up learning to respect pets’ boundaries, and we are well versed in the proper introduction for the safety of all. I can’t wait to hear about your family and how we can best serve your pet care and training needs! I work from home, so I’m available during the day to accommodate your needs. Please, look in advance for weekend and holiday availability, too, as we try to help others with their pet care needs during busy times when we know we’ll be around! I have a vinyl fenced in yard. My dogs are crate trained, and I typically crate dogs overnight who are comfortable with it for their safety and to keep them out of trouble!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including my own pups and those of family, friends, and clients. My experience includes walking, feeding, administering medications, crate training, and providing enrichment through play and exercise. I'm comfortable with senior dogs, high-energy breeds, and those with special needs. I always prioritize safety, communication, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and loved while you're away. As a part-time worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care for your pet. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits or walks, and I can accommodate overnight stays or extended check-ins as needed. My part-time hours give me the ability to prioritize your pet’s routine and comfort while you're away. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or weekend stays, I can create a schedule that works best for you and your pet. Your pets safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routines, and preferences, and I always follow any specific instructions you provide. In your home, I maintain a calm, respectful environment and make sure your pet feels secure and loved in their familiar space. I also prioritize clear communication and send regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in caring, capable hands.

About: I have 10 years of experience pet-sitting dogs and cats of all ages, sizes and temperaments for family and friends. With my love and passion for both cats and dogs, I have developed the necessary skills to provide exceptional care for your pet. I have a dog and cat of my own who are my whole world! I know how important it is to leave your best friend in hands you can trust. What you can expect: - Photos - Frequent updates - Good communication - Loving your pet as my own🩷 Please let me know if your pet has any special care needs! I work a full time flexible hybrid position, however I’m available early mornings and evenings, as well as potentially midday (12-1pm) for drop-in visits or walks depending on your location. On the weekends I’m fully available! Kindness, respect, and safety are my top priorities. I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to do a meet-up before booking overnight stays to help with comfortability if that’s best for your pet.

“Leah is absolutely amazing! She is such a sweetheart and loves animals. I feel so comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She is able to recognize and cater to his every need. Definitely will continue to book with her!”


About: My family has always had dogs around. And I absolutely loved growing up with them! People around me noticed how much I love all animals. From taking care of birds to lizards to turtles to cats, I was always asked to care of something. I just can't resist a job with animals! While school is in session, I am only available for walks, drop in visits, or house sitting. I tend to be available in the afternoons monday-thursday. My apartment offers plenty of yard space for your fur baby to go potty and play. I have over 1,000 sq ft of space inside for them. I don't limit my pets on where they can be inside. The same will be true for yours too. I have 3 animal-friendly dogs that can be crated or separated if needed. The respect I have for your animals will match the respect I have for your home and rules.

“Kai & Zaniyah loved their walks with Teagan! My husband had a last minute business trip and I had surgery and wasn't able to give them their daily exercise. I reached out to Teagan kind of last minute and she was happy to help us out. We will definitely reach out to her again!”


“Tara is phenomenal! She was so timely in her communication, flexible with changes, and kept us updated with pictures of Hamilton along the way! We are so grateful to have such a kind and trustworthy person walking our dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for dog walking.”


“Jazmyn has been absolutely fantastic with my 8 month old Shepard/Husky mix, who has TON of puppy energy. Jazmyn does well with all her special puppy quirks. Definitely recommend Jazmyn to anyone ;)”
