Availability
I work from home 95% of the time but very occasionally have work obligation or appointment that keeps me away for <6 hours. Interacting with own pets is the highlight of my day and your pets will get their own special dose of attention.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Indoors, your dog will have run of the house unless they are typically in a crate as part of your routine, or showing signs of needing to be separated for calming or safety reasons. They are able to sleep wherever they are comfortable - on their bed, on our bed, on the couch. Access to the outdoors is controlled. Our yard is fully fenced fenced and we have a 50 foot cable leash system if needed. We initially supervise your dog anytime they are outside, but for longer stays where trust and routine is established we may let them out together for a quick potty (<5 minutes).

Information Jessica L. would like to know about your pet
In order for me to make your pet as comfortable and happy as possible, it would be very helpful to know: * Dietary restrictions * Medications * Temperament with other dogs * Experience with cats * Fears * Favorite games and places to walk I love ALL breeds - but I have excluded large dogs from my availability because I am a fairly petite lady and could have trouble holding onto a dog that weighs as much as I do if they REALLY want to chase that squirrel, or lifting them up if there was an emergency.
A typical day
There are so many fun places for dogs to sniff in the Snoqualmie Valley. Whether your dog loves playing fetch, jumping in the water, or is better suited to walks on leash - I will find a great place for them to smell all the smells. Our own loves wrestling and tug when inside. My personal favorite game to play with our dog is treat hide-and-seek. It's not unheard of for a dog we watch to go home with a new trick they learned to show off. We try to keep everyday interesting for our own dog and yours will be part of the fun!

Pets
Active Home with Attentive Care
Pet care experience
We offer an attentive boarding environment where dogs can be active or relaxed - tailored to what they need. We board only one pet (or pet family) at a time, so your pets receive focused attention and a predictable environment. I work from home, so I’m generally around all day for supervision, companionship, and consistency. This is a great fit for dogs who enjoy being part of the household rather than left alone for long stretches. I have a lifetime of experience caring for animals of all kinds - dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, ferrets, and more - which has made me observant, adaptable, and comfortable reading different personalities and needs. I’ve loved them all, from playful youngsters to slower seniors, anxious or outgoing, big or small. Our Home & Setup: - Large, fully fenced backyard for zoomies and fetch. - Rotating variety of interesting neighborhood walks and local adventures. - Positive reinforcement only. - Prioritize safety: no off-leash activity unless explicitly approved, separated feeding. - Canine/feline CPR & First Aid certified - Carry individual pet sitting insurance - Daily updates & photos (if desired) Our Resident Animals: We have a friendly 3-year-old female herding-mix who enjoys making new dog friends, plus two dog-savvy cats. Initial introductions are slow and intentional to prioritize safety. Best Fit/Boundaries: - We’re a flexible home, but extreme behaviors that demand uninterrupted supervision won't be the best fit (such as significant aggression or severe separation anxiety or escape artistry). - If dogs are known chewers, we ask that they be comfortable being crated. - Dogs that are known to be respectful of feline boundaries will be the best fit so everyone stays relaxed and stress-free. Meet & Greets: - Required for all boarding and drop-ins to establish familiarity and understand preferences. - Boarding meet-and-greets may happen in two steps (either same or separate day): 1. Dog introductions in a neutral location (like a local park), 2. A home visit for familiarity and cat compatibility. - For boarding stays longer than 3 days, we require a trial daycare day to confirm fit and avoid surprises while you’re away. Rover is built around dogs and cats, but if you have a more unique menagerie—let’s chat!

Reviews
Can’t say enough wonderful things about Jessica (and Rivet)!
Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Jessica and her husband were wonderful and made our pup feel perfectly at home in their care. We appreciated all the updates and Badger appreciated all the love, attention, and of course the big grassy fenced yard :)
Kramer LOVED Jessica! We are very thankful for how well she treated him with beautiful walks, playing with toys and letting him just follower her around. He really appreciated her letting him sleep with them. We loved the frequent updates with pictures; it really helped us deal with being away from him. We are so glad we found her to watch him when we need to go out of town.
Jessica was fantastic! She has a lovely house with her husband, and they treated Cali like one of their own. She frequently sent updates, photos, and videos. Cali got on really well with their dog and cats, and looks like she had a wonderful time. Thank you for everything!
