“I am so thankful to have found Tobi!! Walter stayed with her for a weekend. She is kind and thoughtful and stayed in touch throughout his time with her! He seemed to have fun with her two dogs as well. I look forward to sending him there again in the future.”


“We couldn’t be happier with the care Jeannine provided for our dog, Keila. From the moment we met them, we knew she was in great hands. They were attentive, loving, and professional throughout her stay. They kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Jeannine treated Keila like their own, paying attention to her routines, needs, and little quirks. When we returned, Keila was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We are so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and compassionate sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our fur baby!”


“Heather was great! She was communicative and very competent and trustworthy. She seems to have a good system in place for taking care of multiple dogs and making sure each individual dog feels comfortable and their needs are met. I would definitely book with her again!”


“Mollie took great care of our pup! You could tell that she loves caring for animals. She sent so many great pictures and was great at putting our family at ease while she watched our pup! We will definitely have her watch our dog again!”


“Alyssa took good care of our Kona while we were away. Very responsive, good communication, flexible and loved the daily pictures. We will definitely use her again.”


“Bridget and David did the BEST job taking care of our dog while we got married in Mexico. This was our first time using Rover, and they were so great. They sent daily texts, pictures, and videos. Their dogs Quincy and Magnus are super adorable and it looked like they all welcomed our dog from the first moment we dropped her off. So grateful for the great care she received, and will be recommending them to all of our friends.”


“Jennifer took care of our 1.5 year-old pup for a week while we were out of town. Everything went great! Pup returned to us happy and healthy, definitely would book again.”


“Duke and I are so glad we found Kayle! We have booked two stays with her, one being an 11 day stay (with a 3rd one coming up soon!) and she has been nothing short of amazing. She is very attentive to Duke and has treated him like her own since the first night. She is very flexible which is a bonus for me as I am active duty military (100% recommend). We have definitely found our Washington sitter in Kayle and will continue to book with her for as long as she will have us!! You can feel very comfortable and confident in Kayle’s ability to care for your pet. She keeps open communication through the entire stay and gives your fur baby lots of love while you’re away!! ❤️❤️ 🐶”


“We had a great experience with Cheysser, she is very responsive and took great care of our first born. She sent us lots of pictures of our dog not missing us at all and even gave her a bath!! We would definitely recommend Cheysser for your pets.”


“Thanks so much for taking good care of Luna while I was out of town! This was the first time I’ve used Rover for boarding, and was a great experience. I also has fight delays and ended up getting back into town late. I really appreciate le the flexibility and kindness in working with me. I also REALLY appreciated the daily updates with photos - gave us a lot of comfort while my kids and I were away from our fur baby 🥰”


“Lizzy was fantastic for our loving, anxious pup! From our first meeting through pick up, Lizzy's kindness and care showed through - we knew our boy would be in good hands. We also had great feedback and piece of mind with pictures of our pup chillin' - a sure sign he had found his person and felt secure! Thank you Lizzy -we'll be back for sure!”


About: Hi! I’m a work-from-home dad in Tacoma with a spacious, fully fenced yard and a calm home environment perfect for dogs that need peace, consistency, and a little room to roam. I only care for one dog — or one dog family — at a time, which means your pet will never be around unfamiliar dogs. No pack dynamics, no stress, no surprises. This is ideal for dogs who are mellow, shy, older, or just prefer their own space. I’m a former Marine and longtime high school science teacher — calm, responsible, and steady. Your dog will get gentle structure, a lot of attention, and real companionship throughout the day. Whether they love sunbathing in the yard, laying by my desk, or getting regular belly rubs and breaks, they’ll be safe and happy here. Happy to provide updates and photos. I treat every pet like family — because I know how much they mean to you. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home, so I’m around all day to provide company and care. I like to start the morning with a walk/run around the neighborhood — it’s a great way for dogs to get some energy out and for both of us to enjoy a bit of fresh air. Fully fenced yard! My home is a calm, pet-friendly space where safety and trust come first. I work from home and spend much of the day in meetings, so the environment stays quiet and predictable — perfect for pets who enjoy a peaceful routine. I only care for one pet or one pet family at a time, so there are no unexpected animals or crowded situations. Dogs can nap nearby while I work, hang out in the fenced yard for breaks, or go for relaxed walks around the neighborhood. I keep things low-key, respectful, and safe — your pet gets attention, consistency, and a stable environment while you’re away. Whether they want to play or just relax, I make sure they feel secure and cared for like part of the family.

“Chantel was courteous and pleasant. Her home was safe, clean and seemingly a lot of fun for my pup. Her frequent updates were greatly appreciated! I travel frequently and she will be my first choice for a sitter for as long as she is available”


“Dee Anne was very quick to respond to my questions and concerns, she's very easy to communicate with. She was very attentive to our dog during our meet and greet, and her home was clean and inviting, so I'm sure our dog felt very comfortable staying with her. When we picked up our dog she seemed happy and well cared for, so I would happily return to Dee Anne for future boardings!”


“Took excellent care of our active young dog. Sent photos and videos daily. He definitely had a good time playing with her dogs! Thank you for all your help while we were away!”


About: I have always had pets growing up as a child owning cats, dogs and even chickens and goats. The love for animals I had has grown more as an adult. My experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for family and friends over the years. I stay at home, so I’ll definitely have time to play and care for your fur baby. I’m available everyday of the week including weekends. I live in a gated community and have 1 playful cat to keep your fur baby entertained. Dogs are free to roam around inside and will be leashed when taken out for walk/potty.


“Trina is a great communicator about how the stay went and always provide photos of how my dog was doing. She is someone that truly care for take care of your fur baby. Definitely recommend her for watching your pet for when you cannot take them on your next adventure.”
