About: I’ve grown up caring for my own beagle, so I know firsthand what dogs need to feel comfortable and loved. I have experience with senior dogs and understand how to give them the extra patience and gentle care they deserve. I’m a college student home for the summer taking online classes, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I have plenty of time to give dogs the attention and care they need throughout the day. I provide care at my clients’ homes and on walks, so your dog stays comfortable in familiar surroundings. Whether it’s sticking to their routine at home or getting their energy out on a walk, I make sure they’re happy, safe, and well looked after.
“Hilary was responsive and a huge relief of support when we needed a dog walker. When I got home my dogs were happy and it was clear they got a good walk during the day. I will definitely book again.”
About: Hello! Here’s a little bit about me. I am currently a kindergarten teacher and I was born and raised in Washington. I would love a pet of my own, but I am not home enough during the school year. I’d love to be your pets new best friend while you’re away! The services I will be offering are drop-in visits and dog walks. I’ve looked after many dogs and cats in my lifetime (dog sitting, dog walking, drop-ins for my friends cats, etc.). I also used to have a dog of my own! I look forward to taking care of your pet and giving them attention and love while you’re away. As previously mentioned, I am a teacher. Most of the time, I am in my classroom teaching students how to read, write and count! But, in my free time, I’d love to play with/take care of some adorable dogs and cats. I have a lot of time after work and a lot of free time on weekends. Additionally, we have lots of breaks and three-day weekends throughout the school year where I’m typically free. During the summer, I’ll be the most active on this app because we have two months off! I will most likely not offer services that give pets the opportunity stay with me in my apartment, but when I am in your home I will be respectful of your space and leave everything exactly how it was.
About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs and other fluffy friends for most of my life. Pets are our best friends and companions, they deserve an attentive caretaker while their humans are away. I strive to make sure your loved ones are cared for exactly as you ask. Every pet has their own special needs, especially as they age. I have experience with older animals as well and am comfortable administering medications. I’m soft spoken and patient and will ensure they feel safe and comfortable with my presence. I have two shelter cats at home who my partner and I spoil with love daily. We are looking forward to adopting a dog in the future and adding to our family! I have a flexible schedule and am local to the island. I focus my availability to just the island so I can quickly make it to our scheduled bookings on time. While I don’t offer boarding services at this time, I will gladly maintain your routine with your pet in your home. If you crate your dog or have dedicated play spaces I’ll be sure to follow your guidelines. Any preferences for walk locations can also be abided by. I’ll be sure to work with your timid animals to build a trust relationship with them.
“Olivia was wonderful! Helped out with a very last minute request. Incredibly prompt response time and communication. Fred immediately took to her and I loved getting the mid-walk updates and photos. Will definitely be rebooking again, thank you so much!!”
“Kai is doing a great job. I had surgery and needed someone to walk my dog 3x/day. He answered the call immediately, came to the house to introduce himself and appeared the next day at 7:15 AM. He has been very punctual and dependable. My dog, who doesn't like to walk with people she doesn't know, wags her tale when he comes to the door. HE is terrific!”
About: I've cared for and loved dogs (and cats) for my entire life (and I'm old enough to get senior discounts!). From giant breeds to tiny mixes, I have a seventh sense for how your pup best interacts with the world. Shy dogs, reactive dogs, energetic dogs and all in between are welcome and will be thoughtfully cared for. I'm at home full-time and can give your pup the attention he or she deserves 24/7. I live within 5 minutes of 2 parks, one on the lake if that's what your dog likes. Fully fenced, large backyard that dogs can access all day. Live with a VERY sweet, even-tempered 2 year-old female St Bernese (Bernese/St. Bernard) and an outdoor kitty. Pups will have unrestricted use of the house. Most importantly, I care and will work with you to give your pup the most comfortable homestay possible.
“We are grateful to have found Jacquelyn! She did great with our dog and rabbit, going out of her way to drive our boy to a flat area for a walk. She sent a ton of cute pictures which showed they were both very happy. Followed all of our instructions and was an excellent communicator. We look forward to having her help out again soon!”
About: Hi! I’m excited to meet new pets and provide loving, reliable care while you’re away. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I love giving treats, attention, playtime, and plenty of snuggles to help pets feel comfortable and happy. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work with your pet’s routine and specific needs. I follow structured schedules to make sure your pets receive the best care possible. The more information you share about your pet, the better I can tailor their care and keep them feeling safe and comfortable. Thank you for considering me as your sitter — I truly appreciate the opportunity and look forward to helping with your pet care needs! I currently work part-time 4 days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available all day on Wednesdays through Fridays. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and weekends I’m available after work, typically no later than 2 PM willing to check on pete before I start my shift! I’m always happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that works best and will make sure your pets receive lots of attention, care, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. 😊 I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in both my home and my client’s home. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, walks, and any special needs to help pets feel as stress free as possible. I’m patient, reliable, and will treat your pets like they’re my own while keeping you updated along the way
“Junbo genuinely is someone who cares for animals. I am so glad I found her. She really goes above and beyond to make sure my pet is having the best time during the walks!! Thank you!”
About: I have been caring for animals since I was young, starting with my childhood dog and now my own little kitty. I have continued to care for cats and dogs over the years for family, friends, and Rover clients, winning over even the shyest of pets. I will treat your pet like family! I have experience with senior cats and dogs, as well as reactive dogs. I am comfortable administering oral medication. I plan to spend as much time as I possibly can with your beloved fur baby. I work part time per diem currently so I may be out of the house for a few hours occasionally, but this would be discussed prior to any stay. I will spend the majority of the time during with your pet. I will follow all safety and care instructions a client may have for their home. I can easily adjust to any requirements a pet owner may have to ensure the safety of their beloved pet and their home.

Olivia was great. She was remarkably punctual, even though she had to come walk my dog three times/day. She is very friendly and obviously she and my hound really liked each other. My dog is usually uncomfortable going with people she doesn't know but took to Olivia right away. I am grateful for her care of my sweetheart and highly recommend her to everyone!
Kai is doing a great job. I had surgery and needed someone to walk my dog 3x/day. He answered the call immediately, came to the house to introduce himself and appeared the next day at 7:15 AM. He has been very punctual and dependable. My dog, who doesn't like to walk with people she doesn't know, wags her tale when he comes to the door. HE is terrific!
Rachel is amazing! She's great with my dogs, who are suspicious and standoffish with people they don't know. She is also just a lovely human! Last weekend, while on my trip, I discovered that I had mistakenly booked her to walk my dogs the following weekend, not the one I was gone. She was able to accommodate the last minute change, and was so kind about it. Rachel is the best :)
Allexis is the best dog walker I've ever had! She is so communicative, kind, caring and flexible. My dog has struggled with some big life changes and transitions we've been going through and Allexis has been patient and loving with her. I've seen a huge difference in my dog's demeanor since Allexis and I've so grateful!
