“Stephanie is incredible!! She has great communication and sends a ton of updates. I could tell from the photos she was sending me dogs were obsessed with her! I could not say enough good things about Stephanie! We will 100% only be using her going forward :)”



“I just returned from a 10 day vacation and Anthea watched my dog and cat while I was gone. I returned to a clean home, and happy animals. During her stay she provided me with a daily report of activities they did and asked questions to better understand each animal. I'm very comfortable with her caring standards and really appreciate all the effort she put into making sure both animals were as comfortable as they can be when their primary human is away. I highly recommend Anthea.”


“Gwen went above and beyond taking care of our sweet girl while we were out of town for a week. She stayed in our home and left it cleaner than when we left. I cannot give a high enough rating for the level of service she provided. I highly recommend if you are in need of a Pet sitter.”

“Our pets are needy and we were worried but Olivine was so amazing that even our grumpy cat was in love with her!! Daily checking in was a delightful unexpected bonus! Holly and Zippy are already looking forward to their next stay-cation!!”


“Kim had great communication the entire time! She sent me pictures of Jojo (which definitely brightened my day and alleviated some of my worry). After feeding she let me know how she was doing. She was also punctual. I felt like I had left my girl in good hands!!”


“Anabelle watched our 3 dogs and they absolutely loved her. We have 1 dog that is very shy and every photo update he was snuggled up to her. Our house was clean, koi fish good and plant starts happy!”


“I cannot say enough great things about Michaela - she was absolutely amazing!! From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. Our dogs immediately felt comfortable with her and the peace of mind made all the difference while we were away. She was reliable, communicative and went above and beyond with updates, photos, and thoughtful touches that showed how much she cared. We came home to happy, calm dogs and a spotless home. It is rare to find someone this trustworthy and dedicated. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, look no further. We highly recommend Michaela and will absolutely be booking with her again!”


“I can’t say enough good things about Bella. Amazing with all three of my dogs and went above and beyond to take one of my dogs to the vet and take care of them. Highly recommend.”

“First, we trust our pups with almost no one. Caitlin was wonderful with our two pups! We booked her for a day of constant care because we have a 15 year old senior pup who needs to go outside A LOT and requires some extra care. She came and met the pups and us beforehand to ensure it was a good fit, and has since worked with us on training for our younger pup. She has even set up a Google Drive folder so we can track training items and keep other documents like house sitting instructions. We feel so fortunate to have found a reliable, kind, person to watch our pups, and we highly recommend her!”


“Annemarie was great with our scared and stand-off-ish pup. Provided great feedback and let our pup gradually get used to her. We'll definitely be calling Annemarie again.”


“Skyler and her son Dayton are amazing. I was in Italy for over two weeks and she kept in contact with me always. She took care of my garden and my house and of course my sweet babies. Everything was perfect when I came home and she even stayed later because my flight was delayed, she’s the best I recommend her highly”


About: Hi! I’m a laid-back yet enthusiastic animal lover with a lifetime of experience growing up in a home full of pets. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes — from tiny lap dogs to large breeds like pit bulls and bulldogs — and I truly understand how unique every dog is. I have extensive experience working with aggressive dogs, helping them feel safe and well-behaved through patience and training. I’m also skilled in caring for senior pets, providing gentle attention and medical support to keep them comfortable and happy. I especially love big lap dogs and enjoy taking all dogs on adventure walks tailored to their energy and needs. I’m very mindful of each pet’s limitations, ensuring every walk and play session is safe and enjoyable. I’m extremely flexible and always bring calm, positive energy into every home. Whether your dog needs training support, medication, playtime, or just a relaxed companion, I’ll treat them like family. Let’s make tail wags happen! I start my mornings with potty walks and breakfast, take a mid-day sniff breaks in between, and end the day with playtime and bedtime belly rubs. I understand how important your pet’s comfort and safety are, as well as respecting your home. To ensure both, I strictly follow every client’s specific instructions and routines — from feeding times to play preferences and medication schedules. I keep your space clean and organized, always secure doors, gates, and windows, and treat your home with the same care I would my own. Communication is key, so I provide regular updates with photos or messages to keep you connected and assured. Above all, I prioritize your pet’s well-being by giving them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, making sure they feel loved and comfortable while you’re away.

“Alex was an amazing sitter for our boys! With frequent walks, updates, and photos, she made us feel confident our boys were in good hands. She is super reliable, flexible with our schedule, and left our house cleaner than we left it. We will most definitely use her next time we need a sitter for our dogs. Highly recommend!”


About: I don't currently have any pets of my own, but I volunteer at the humane society for southwest Washington and therefore have gone through training regarding dog and cat behavior and handling. I have only cared for neighbor's pets before, and although my experience isn't necessarily extensive, I believe, and have been told, that my care meets and exceeds the standard, so you can rest assured that your pet(s) will be taken care of. I have had a true love for all animals my whole life (ask anyone who knows me!) and will do what it takes to keep your pet safe and happy. I am currently looking for another job, as my current one reduced my hours to one day a week (4 hours every Sunday morning, but I'm still available the rest of the day!), but pet care is important to me as well as your pet and I will work around my job. I can make it fit! I will make sure your pet(s) are safe and happy by being aware of essential safety items (e.g. fire extinguisher, fences/gates inside or outside, potentially dangerous items, etc.) providing enrichment through provided means and individual creativity based on the animal's needs, and just obeying the owner's wishes. I understand that your pet's safety is your top priority.

“Simple put Sara is the best!! She watched our little Prince for a week. He has medication he has to take 3 times a day so it’s no small feet taking care of him. She took such good care of him, was always in contact with us through text and pictures and treated him like he was her own. We came back to a clean house and a very happy dog!! I would highly recommend Sara and will be using her every chance I get.”


“Salem is incredibly understanding, knowledgeable, and accomodating. I 100% recommend and would book again to house sit my two cats! Met all their needs and more especially with one of my boys with urinary issues and needed medication. Updates were informative, asked plenty of questions when needed, and returned to a clean home and two happy boys 😸😸”

Hockinson pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah was fantastic!!!! I was so nervous about leaving my girl (who is a senior and going deaf) with a sitter as this was the first time she’s ever been left with anyone other than family or friends she knows very well. In addition to keeping her company, she took her on multiple walks, let her do activities she enjoys most, and sent me updates and pictures every day, giving me peace of mind along the way. The only complaint I have is that Sarah isn’t available year-round, as she is in undergrad school. I’m very happy with the quality of sitters on Rover that I got to engage with in this process.

Kassidy was FABULOUS! Our animals usually seem a little put-out upon our return from a trip as if they were mad that we left them. Not this time! Kassidy engaged and played and took care of them as if they were her own. I don't think they had time to miss us! Communication was great as well. She'll be my #1 go to for future trips - short or long.

Rachel took such great care of our dog and two cats! One of our cats even has asthma and she did not shy away from administering his inhaler. She stayed at our house the week of Christmas and made sure to give us updates and also took great care of the house! Super sweet and thoughtful. Will definitely be reaching out to her again. Thank you, Rachel!
