“Melanie takes wonderful care of our pets and home! This is the first time we have left them with a pet sitter for an entire week vacation and felt so comfortable the entire time knowing Melanie was there.”

“Amanda is a WONDERFUL pet sitter!!! Her calm, kind, and caring demeanor brought our kitty Hazel out of her shell. Amanda sent us photos from every visit and we could see that Hazel was happy and thriving. Amanda's professionalism, reliability, excellent communication and attention to detail gave us peace of mind while we were away.”

“Devyn watched my dog somewhat last minute while I attended an event. I got home later than expected and she had stayed with him, which means a lot to me. I would definitely have her watch my dog again. Thanks Devyn!”
“This was my first time hiring Becky for my two senior dogs. I was nervous because one of my dogs gets special food and medications. She is also pretty sensitive and emotional, so when we go away, she is sometimes very depressed. Becky was able to win both dogs over quickly and everything went great! Communication was stellar with messages and photos a couple times per day. That was much appreciated. 😍 Becky was respectful and easy to work with. She stayed at our house during the days we were gone and everything was very tidy and clean when we returned. I was really relieved and happy that our first time with this sitter worked out. We will use Becky again for sure!!😊”

“Leah was amazing! I got so many pictures & updated and our dog seemed to be living her best life with Leah. Leah also came back and let our dog out once more when I told her our flight was delayed and she kept checking in to make sure we were home. Would absolutely book again & recommend her to others!”


About: I have experience with a variety of animals. Yes cats and dogs, but I also have experience caring for small livestock, poultry, and small exotics. I can confidently care for any and all animals brought my way. I'm a former 4-H kid and have grown up around animals, so I love getting to care for animals and always provide top-notch care. I am graduating from college and will be most likely unemployed during the summer, so I will have tons of free time to spend with your pets. I literally have nothing else going on minus occasional trips out to spend time with friends or volunteer places. So I can make your pet's schedule fit around mine easily for the next few months! When I am house and pet sitting, I treat my clients home and pets like they are my own space/my own pets. I am very respectful of the space I am in and I shower all animals I am taking care of with love and affection. I always want to do a meet-and-greet beforehand with the owners present so the animals will know me (and hopefully be more comfortable with me) before I am suddenly staying in their home. I do everything I can to help pets feel comfortable with me in their space.
“Toni was beyond amazing! She gave our dogs so much love and kept them company when we were gone. So much so that when we got home they were excited to see us for 15 minutes then slept the rest of the day! I am forever grateful for her and her family even more so for caring for my one pupper who had a health episode when in her care. They handed everything amazing and took amazing care of him. I would love to book her again!”
About: As an experienced dog sitter, I go beyond basic care by truly understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have a natural ability to read their body language and adapt to their moods, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medications, following specific dietary plans, or providing enriching playtime and walks, I tailor my approach to each dog’s routine. My calm and attentive demeanor helps even the most anxious dogs feel at ease, and I maintain clear communication with pet owners for peace of mind. Having cared for my own senior Pomeranian, Zeus, until he was 14, I am particularly attuned to the special needs of older dogs, including administering medications and adjusting routines for their comfort. I currently have an year and a half year old Yellow Labrador Retriever named cooper, so well experienced with puppies I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or just extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to be there consistently. I love getting outside for walks and making sure dogs stay mentally and physically happy while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, energy levels, and temperaments, including senior dogs and puppies. I always keep a close eye during walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment.
About: I have had over 15 years of small and large dog experience. I have worked in kennels so I have experience with handling several temperament types. Safe and compassionate Care is my number one concern! I'm currently going to school to finish my bachelors in science of nursing part-time online so I am home the majority of the week. I can provide around the clock care. I have a fenced backyard that attaches to my house and a large carport area that is covered. The yard is clean and grass is cut short. Everything is secure and checked regularly. I have three extremely dog friendly long hair Dachshunds.
“Kirsten was great! She helped us out with really short notice, and was very flexible & accommodating. Cooper seemed to connect with her right away! We will definitely book her again!!”

About: I have owned dogs for 11 years now, and still counting. I have pet sat and dog walked for many people; I have experience with different dog sizes, personalities, and training techniques, and have used that knowledge to better my skill set. I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant, and have the training to preform any basic medical tasks, should your pet require it. I have also worked with cats, horses, exotic animals and livestock in the past. I am currently working part time form home, so your pets will have plenty of playtime. I am available for boarding or home-visits, depending on your pet's individual needs. I have a large farm for your furry friends to run around on. If in your home, I am very comfortable with yard play, leashes, and crates.

About: I've cared for people's dogs, cats, fish and homes for a couple of years in the Lacey, WA area. I work remotely so most days I can be with your pets all day and I have stayed in homes for up to two weeks. I love animals and will play with your furry family members, take them for walks, give them medicine and stick to the routines you have established. I love gardening and am happy to water plants while you are away. I work remotely so as long as you have wifi, I can stay with your pet(s) during the day! I can stay with your pets any day/night of the week. I will follow your routine, take your pets for a pup cup if allowed, or just hang out and play and snuggle in your home. I work remotely so I can easily take your dog(s) for walks or play fetch in the yard on breaks. I am comfortable giving injections and other meds if required. Of you need me to take out garbage bins or water plants, I am happy to do that as well. I will leave your home just as I found it, ready for your arrival.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats pretty much all my life. From personal pets, friends pets, and family’s pets! All who have trusted me with their most prized companion, to walk, feed, play, and most importantly keep them safe at all costs, working with animals makes me the happiest! I know leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be incredibly intimidating and stressful, and that is exactly why I take so much pride in the care I provide for anyone’s animals! I can also provide you, pictures, or video calls to ensure that your pet is safe and protected!❤️ I currently am unemployed, I am available whenever you need me to walk, let out, play with, or anything you need me to do to care for your pet!☺️ I currently do not offer in home care due to the fact that I live on a farm in a trailer, I am more than willing to travel to care for clients! Once I am in my own home I will then transfer to taking in home clients!
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs since I was a kid. Once I turned 15 I started pet sitting for family, neighbors and family friends. I live in Chehalis and I work for a Washington state agency in Tumwater. My schedule is 9am-5pm. If needed I can check on or take animals to the bathroom on my hour lunch break at 12. I’m flexible with anything as long as I have a good amount of notice. My family has 3 cats and 1 dog. My pets have helped me learn how to handle different personalities in animals, as well as teaching me to be more patient.
About: I have experience caring for dogs through friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve handled feeding, walks, playtime, and overnight stays. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and routines and always aim to make them feel safe and comfortable. I am currently seeking for a job and have a really flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I could possibly do weekends, but it depends on how available I can be to help. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any other specific instructions provided. I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their own environment.
Over 5 pet parents in Newaukum have booked house sitting
Newaukum pet parents share their Rover experiences
Bethany did great with my fear reactive border collie! My girl went on a potty strike the first couple days I was gone (normal for her to protest when I leave lol) and she wouldn’t come out of her kennel much. Bethany was super patient with her and respectful of her boundaries. She updated me with texts and photos, and after a couple days of building trust, my pup came out more and was more comfortable around Bethany! I am super appreciative of her patience and respect for my dog’s comfort level. I’m so glad my girl warmed up to Bethany, and I felt reassured that she was being given great care the entire time I was away.
