“We were SO happy to find Olivia! She stayed at our home and gave our two French Bulldogs tons of TLC! Olivia has great communication skills, sent us lots of pictures and left our home in perfect condition. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Katy did a great job with Carmie! It was our first time using her and she was so easy to work with and flexible to come for a meet and greet. Great communication and sent regular updates with pictures.”
“Craig is the BEST! He took great care of Peluche and the house as well. There was a traveling SNAFU on our end on the way home which also resulted in our inability to communicate and he was very concerned about leaving our boy. Can't say enough about how trustworthy he is.”
“Aliana was AMAZING with our dog, Teddy! We got lots of updates and pictures which put us at ease during our trip. She was not afraid to ask questions about his needs and her follow through was wonderful. Aliana did a great job of taking care of our home like it was her own and we know that Teddy got the best care! She went the extra mile of taking him on walks, giving him his food in his special toys and taking care of our garden. 10/10 would recommend and we will definitely be hiring her again? Thanks Aliana!!”

I am comfortable with walks, feeding, and crating dogs as needed. I can adapt to your normal routines with your pet!
About: I have been taking care of families and friends dogs for years, since I did not have a dog of my own and I wanted to be surround by as many dogs as possible. Now that I have two pups of my own, I understand on another level how important it is to find someone you can trust and will treat your pup like family.I hope to be that sense of comfort for you and your pups while staying with me. Photos will also be taken for you to enjoy! Thank you for your time! Pet sitting is my full-time job so they will have all my attention and love, as well as two furry friends to play with in the fenced yard. I have a fenced yard where your pup can get their zoomies out with my other two pups. I have a crate incase they want to have some alone time but I’m all for letting them have free reign. (Under close supervision)
“Our dogs and cats adored Lily and Philip, who were very thoughtful and detail-oriented. The dogs were happy and calm and the house neat and peaceful when we returned, just as you'd hope. Will definitely be using them again and again. :)”
About: Just a runner training to make the Olympics. I run full time which is fun but doesn’t pay the bills yet. I work and train while coaching on the side. I live in Ballard and have transportation so getting around and taking care of pets isn’t an issue! Love working with all types of animals. House sitting is always fun. I have been house sitting since I was 14 and get asked every so often to fill in and watch the pets while keeping the house clean. Willing to do anything to accommodate and make things as easy as possible for owners! Can’t wait to get started! I’m currently working full time hours, but I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate most pets needs to be fed, walked, or played with I tend to ask questions about what the pets are allowed to do in home so that way I’m not breaking any rules or teaching unwanted habits.
“Anna is very nice and house set for us taking care of our dog due to a short notice trip. Our young dog took immediately to her. Anna was responsive to text messages and communicated in a timely manner. We will use her again going forward.”
“Julissa came to the rescue when I needed last-minute care for my senior special needs old lady (Kerry) who needs someone to be in the house overnight. Julissa was responsive, communicated well, and took excellent care of both Kerry and our home. All the pictures we received showed us how well Kerry was being cared for. Would use Julissa again, absolutely!”
“Brianna G did an excellent job of caring for our aging dog. He requires some extra care and patience and Brianna was just the right choice. Her experience as a pet care professional was very valuable as our dog needed medications and other special care. We highly recommend her for any pet care needs you might have.”
About: I’ve had experience with rescue animals in my home since my childhood. I began working as a pet sitter and dog walker (babysitter as well!) at 14, which has always been my favorite job! I was able to get a job as a kennel assistant in a veterinary clinic at 16 and worked my way up to a veterinary assistant position. I have dealt with administering medication and other veterinary procedures, and dealing with more special care required animals. I’m a college student taking online and in person courses through the local community college, so I have a pretty open schedule. Working a traditional job in college can be quite stressful, so I’m giving this a try! I have been working in other people’s homes for several years babysitting and pet sitting. I’m happy to clean dishes, take out trash, carry in mail and packages, and any other simple tasks. I always try my best to clean after myself and the fur babies each visit!

Our Abby was always excited to see Kendall, and in fact, we asked Kendall to be with us when it was time to say our final goodbyes to Abby. We are delighted to offer this testimonial for Kendall O.”

Lightfoot pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kasey was great. Made sure our dog was well taken care of. He made sure to meet all of our expectations. Our dog was happy and we knew that he was getting lots of love while we were gone. He made sure to send us pictures of everything each day. Our dog is reactive to other dogs on walks so he often doesn’t get out when we’re gone, but Kasey had no issues and got our guy plenty of exercise.
Victoria is great, she is always very responsive and cares deeply for the pets she looks after. You can tell that she loves what she does and that she cares for your pet as if it were her own. My dog absolutely loves her and gets excited every time he sees her. I would definitely recommend her, and will absolutely hire her again in the future.
Meggen was the perfect pet sitter for our dog and cat when we were on vacation. We got frequent photos and updates and came home to very chill pets. It's obvious that she loves pets and will treat them as her own. We are so happy to have found someone so responsible and trustworthy.
