About: I have been caring for dogs for over 10 years. Everyone in my community knows who to reach out to when they’re in need of a pup- sitter. I genuinely love dogs and am excited to be able to help others when they’re are in need of some help with their baby. I work full time as a teacher. However, I am flexible to walk and board over the weekends, and summer time. I also have time off during Thanksgiving, Christmas, Fall, and spring (2 weeks for each). I have a large fenced backyard for pets to run, play, and take care of their needs if they are staying at my house. If the job is at a clients home I will respect boundaries and requests made for that particular pet(s).

“Natalie was great in working with me to have a weekly walk so I could attend a class. She was flexible with weather and took good care of bongo.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. I have had a variety of dog breeds growing up and I am skilled in taking care of every breed for whatever they require. I worked at Walk This Way Dogs in Tacoma, WA for 2 years walking dogs, dog sitting, learning different routines, and loving every single one of them as my own. I have 3 pitbulls. My oldest is Kiara, my middle child is Bubba, and my youngest is Sarabi. They are my amazing children. I strive to care for your fur baby as my own. I’m currently unemployed so I have all the time in the world to check in/ take care of your fur babies as much as needed. I am unable to keep other dogs in my home due to my oldest dog having reactivity, but I am more than happy to care for your dog in the comfort of your own home.

About: I’ve volunteered in shelters for many years. Pets are a very important part of every family. Fur babies will always be taken care of with me. They will be loved as if they were my own. I will always have (or make) some free time to spread the love and help families take care of their fur babies whenever is needed. I can come by the houses and let out, play, walk, feed and bathe (if needed) your fur babies. I can’t stay over nights but can be there early in the mornings and late at night.

About: Trainer with experience in puppies and dogs newly adopted from a shelter. I am a dog mom of a great dane so large dogs are welcome. Pet care is what brings me joy between school and my day to day life. I tend to do both walking, sitting, and training after class. I care for pets by being aware of their body language and form clear communication to ensure every activity suits them to their fullest potential.

About: I have experience with a wide variety of animals, both typical and exotic species of pets. I have AZA training in caring for reptiles and birds, have handled dangerous reptiles and amphibians, and have taken care of my own range of pets over the years. I have a pretty flexible schedule as I substitute teach for a local school district and can adjust my schedule to visit and properly care for your pet in your home. If you give me your instructions in how your pet should be looked after and cared for, I will follow your every instruction. I can even be innovative in terms of providing enrichment or treats to reward your pets for proper behavior. I won’t be able to host your pets in my home, but rest assured that I will be able to take care of your pet in your home and that nothing will be out of place.

“Thank you so much for your help!!!”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs at every stage of life. I’ve been a dog owner for over 10 years and currently care for two senior dogs, so I’m very comfortable with senior pet care, maintaining routines, and administering medications when needed. I understand how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are—especially for older pets. I also raised and trained one of my dogs from just 8 weeks old, which gave me great experience with puppy care, basic training, and positive reinforcement. In addition to my own pets, I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, so I’m confident adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s energetic puppies, shy cats, or senior dogs who need extra care, my goal is always the same: to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. This allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular walks, playtime, and companionship rather than leaving them alone for long periods. Since I already care for my own two senior dogs, my days are structured around feeding schedules, walks, enrichment, and making sure pets are comfortable and well cared for. Adding pet sitting into my routine feels very natural, and I’m able to dedicate the time and attention each pet deserves. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, and any specific care needs. I take time to learn each pet’s personality so I can provide care that helps them feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while maintaining the environment they’re familiar with. I’m also attentive to pets’ behavior and well-being, making sure they are safe, comfortable, and supervised. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are in good hands.

“Thank you for the last minute walk request! Easy peasy and communication was great!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have owned dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs and having dogs of my own has given me plenty of experience caring for different personalities and needs. I currently have three dachshunds, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets. I’ve also helped care for pets for friends and family, whether that was by feeding them, playing with them, taking them on walks, or simply keeping them company. I’m a nurse, so being responsible, patient, attentive, and dependable is a big part of who I am. I wanted to start doing Rover because I genuinely love being around animals and would truly enjoy getting to spend time caring for them. I’ll always do my best to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while they’re with me. 🐾❤️ I am a registered nurse but currently working PRN which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to dedicate to pet care. I’m excited to use my free time doing something I genuinely enjoy 🩷 My schedule can vary, but I’ll always keep my availability updated and communicate clearly so pet parents know when I’m available. 🐾 Since I will be caring for pets in their own homes, I understand how important it is to respect both your home and your pet’s normal routine. I will always follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and anything else your pet may need. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and safe while giving you peace of mind knowing they are being well cared for. 🐶🐾

“Michelle is awesome! I'm so glad we found her to walk our pups while we're at work. She sent walk updates and photos which was great. Will definitely book her again soon!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, and as a cat owner myself, I understand just how different every pet’s personality and routine can be. I especially love caring for cats—from the outgoing ones who want constant attention and playtime to the shy ones who prefer to approach on their own terms. I have experience caring for pets ranging from just a few weeks old to seniors, as well as administering oral medications and caring for pets with special needs. I always do my best to follow your pet’s normal feeding, litter, medication, play, and sleep routines so they can stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Communication is very important to me. I send detailed updates and plenty of photos so you know how your pet is eating, behaving, using the litter box, playing, and adjusting while you’re gone. I also genuinely enjoy taking great pictures of the pets I care for—you may come home with a few new favorite photos! My own pets are part of my family, and I know how much trust it takes to leave yours in someone else’s care. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention. My availability changes throughout the year, and I keep my Rover calendar updated to reflect when I am accepting bookings. When I am available, I am happy to help with cat drop-ins, cat boarding, and other pet-care needs that fit my schedule. Feel free to send me your dates, your pet’s routine, and any special care instructions when submitting a request. For repeat clients, please feel free to reach out even if you have a last-minute need. If I am available, I am always happy to help! I have a pet-friendly, non-smoking home and take introductions, routines, and safety very seriously. For cats boarding in my home, I understand that entering a new environment can be stressful. I give visiting cats time and space to adjust and never force interaction. I follow their normal feeding and care routine as closely as possible and provide plenty of appropriate attention, playtime, and quiet time based on their individual personality. I have resident pets of my own, so before accepting a boarding request I like to learn about your cat’s temperament, previous experience around other animals, medical needs, and anything that may help make their stay more comfortable. During our meet-and-greet, I’ll ask about feeding schedules, litter habits, medications, favorite toys, hiding places, behavioral quirks, and anything else you think I should know.

About: Well I’ve been helping and taking care of animals since I was 8 and I even have lots of experience because I used to volunteer at animal shelters such as the humane society.
