Alicia was awesome! This was my first time using Rover, and she was so patient and understanding of my many many questions. She was accommodating, and even came out for a meet and greet prior to her drop ins. My camera caught a few clips of her during the drop ins and my kitty LOVED her and felt so comfortable around her! Alicia made sure my baby was fed, had clean litter, and was LOVED!

About: I have always worked in the dog industry because dogs are my passion!! I started off training service dogs for the disabled for 4 years, then my family relocated to WA, and since then I have worked at two different doggie daycares and boarding facilities, and an emergency vet hospital. I am now at home full-time with my two beautiful daughters one is in school and the other is at home with me. We love to go on daily walks and usually go for a local hike once a week. I love being surrounded by dogs 24/7. Ever since I was a kid I have always loved dogs and all my neighbors would trust me to take care for their dogs while they were on vacation. While dogs are under my care I walk them, play with them, feed, and I can also administer any necessary medications. If an emergency arises you (the owner) will be contacted and if a 24/7 vet is necessary I will take them. Currently have a flexible schedule while looking to get a remote job. I do have my 4.5 year old during the week with me unless my husband is home. I do my best to provide my dogs with daily exercise and mental stimulation. I feed them twice a day and sometimes they get supplements added to their diet.

So thankful we found Megan. She was extremely helpful checking in on our cats while we were out of the country! Sweet and attentive, she made us feel confident that our babies would be safe and attended to while we were away.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds — including dogs, cats, small animals, and even senior pets. My care includes feeding, walking, administering medication, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I take pride in providing dependable, safe, and loving care so pet owners can feel confident their companions are in good hands. I’m currently a stay at home mom, both my kids are now in school full time. I would love to be able to help others with their pets while I’m home. I have an unfenced yard but would walk them as much as needed. I’m also able to crate train if needed. I currently have no pets in the home.

About: I am a military veteran with a background as a Military Police officer and K9 handler, with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have worked with working breeds, high-energy dogs, and family pets, providing daily care such as feeding, basic medication administration, leash handling, enrichment, and structured routines. I am comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and dogs that benefit from consistent boundaries and positive reinforcement. My K9 experience has strengthened my situational awareness, patience, and ability to read animal behavior to ensure safe, calm, and positive interactions. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I drop my son off at daycare at 8:30 AM and pick him up at 5:00 PM. I am available for walks, drop‑ins, check‑ins, and extended care at any time between those hours. My consistent weekday availability allows me to maintain reliable routines and provide focused, unrushed care. Safety is my top priority. I follow all owner instructions closely, maintain secure leash handling, and remain aware of surroundings during walks and visits. In clients’ homes, I respect boundaries, keep spaces clean, and ensure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured. My law enforcement and K9 background has trained me to anticipate risks, remain calm, and make sound decisions to keep pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

About: Have owned dogs all my life and had 2 litters of puppies in my lifetime. Love all animals and will show your dogs nothing but love and play with them while you’re gone. It’ll be like you never left. I got laid off from my job a couple months ago and haven’t been able to find work. Started uber driving but would rather be pet watching. Very flexible schedule. I have dogs currently in my house. I would not want to bring another animal into this house if it’s not a necessity. We have carpet and built a fence in the backyard for them.

About: Hi There! My name is Meghan, and I have been caring for animals of all shapes and sizes for my entire life. I used to breed Australian Shepherds, so I can comfortably say that I am very good with high energy breeds. I am a working professional, but I have the ability to work pet care into my daily routine as I am typically able to work remotely, and I don’t have to adhere to a strict 9am-5pm schedule. I am not currently offering boarding services, but I am more than happy to drop in and care for your pets while they remain in their happy place. I am very trustworthy, and I will of course treat your home with the utmost respect.

Kristen is great! She goes above and beyond for my furry baby. She has been very accommodating to my dog’s specific needs and is super helpful and beyond friendly. My dog took to her right away. Definitely a dog whisperer. Kristen has been making house visits and I absolutely feel more than comfortable with her in my home and with my furry boy! Love her!!!

About: I grew up on 6 acres of land caring for virtually every type of pet you could imagine for the first 15 years of my life. I even started a YouTube channel when I was 13 years old and accumulated 41k followers and over 26 million views, just by sharing my love and compassion for animals! I currently have 3 dogs, 3 cats, a snake, and a bird and would love to help you and your fur babies in your time/s of need. I cannot do overnight housesitting at this time, but I can spend the days at your home if you need :) I currently stay home during the day with my sweet, gentle, animal-loving 1-year-old girl, and only work 3 days a week for a few hours. When I’m not home, my boyfriend is so we have all the time in the world to give your fur babies the time and attention they need and deserve! I am an above-and-beyond type of sitter, not just an ‘only what is in the job description’. I want to give the type of care that I would want my own fur babies to receive!
