“Amanda is amazing 5atars Great communication Responded Within minutes of my inquiry . Responded with professionalism and was personable. Very sweet and easy to talk too. Gave me great updates on the walk. She handled my Belgian malinoise that's overweight about 150lbs. In addition so working with my other dog thatnis very timid - both were very responsive to her and trusted her. I would hire her again in the heartbeat. She has a very sweet and trusting demeanor.”

About: I work remotely part time from home. Looking for extra income and more animals to adore. I help take care of family also. Long term and short term availability. Currently working at home part time. So lots of time. And have my own schedules with current animals, livestock, poultry and cats & dogs. Also some reptiles. I am working on sitting up a safe area for pets to be removed from my animals and then will be open for boarding. Unsure on the timeline of that
“So happy Julie was available to walk our pups. We look forward to booking with her again. She sent a photo of the pups and texted me before and after the walks. We Highly recommend Julie.”

They seemed to have enjoyed a nice walk and I loved getting those picture updates while at work :) I hope that we can book with Meagan again soon!”


About: I’ve been around dogs for many years and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and following each dog’s individual routine. I also have personal experience caring for a dog with allergies, so I understand the importance of following feeding instructions, avoiding known triggers, and paying attention to changes in a dog’s skin or behavior. I treat every pet with patience, care, and attention just like I would my own dog, Korona. 🐾 I’m retired from the military, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and plenty of playtime and attention. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while making sure each pet’s individual routine is followed. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and plenty of space for play and relaxation. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and make sure their pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and care while they’re away.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and experienced pet sitter with 6 years of professional pet-sitting experience. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I love caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, administering medication, exercise needs, and senior pet care. I always provide photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every pet like family and aim to create a safe, calm, and loving environment while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Hi! I’m Mallory! I’m enrolled in college online which has opened up my schedule to be able to take care of your pups! I love pets of all kind so pet sitting is the perfect activity to partake in durning my free time! I also have access to military bases! I currently have a 8 year old Great Dane( Minnie ) and 2 kitties named Louie and Lizzy! I take Minnie on walks around the neighborhood which is important at her older age she moves her body. She gets treats frequently, along with the kitties of course. Louie and Lizzy also enjoy there time outside, they mostly stay inside but when it’s nice enough outside they stroll on our outside porch. All of the things I do for my pets, I would do for yours.
About: Juggling full-time studies and dedicated dog mom duties to German Shepard Stryker and rescue Doberman Luna. I’ve been raised with dogs and cats since childhood. As the go-to for family and friends in need of pet sitting, my reputation stands strong. I tend to spoil all the fur babies. Experienced with various breeds, adept at overcoming training and behavioral challenges. Your fur babies aren't just pets; they're family. Trust me to provide not just a service but a personalized, loving experience for your cherished family members. Your peace of mind, their wagging adventures. FYI the reason my rates are higher than expected is Rover takes out a big chunk. I have recently taken on an apprentice to take over my overflow of clients. If I’m unavailable for the dates you need, please message me and I can ask if she’s available. It’ll be at the same price rate, until she raises her rates. She really is great! Because of gas prices and time, travel outside of 10 mile/20 minute radius from home/Yelm will be charged travel cost per visit/day. As a dog mom myself, I understand the concern of leaving pets alone while at work. Offering dog walks, potty break, and house sitting in Thurston County and surrounding areas. My schedule is open all week Sunday-Saturday depending on availability. Reach out to schedule a meet and greet! I will not be offering stays at my house, but I can do house sitting. For house sitting please message me what dates/time you’re needing. I have made exceptions for last minute bookings when I’m available. At our meet and greet I’ll ask what their normal routines are and all their likes and dislikes. Please be aware that I may need to leave once a day during the weekdays my spouse works to let my doggo out, and possibly my regular drop ins depending when scheduled. To keep those away times at minimum please book far in advance so I can decline any extra clients. At my home our routine is; wake up, morning potty, enjoy a human-grade breakfast, another potty break, nap in mom's office. Playtime kicks in around noon, followed by post-lunch potty and another nap. We then join mom in her office, demanding attention, before yet another nap until the next break. Potty, Dinner, and Cuddles. Then one last potty before bed. We’re kinda couch potatoes in our home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Yelm
I appreciate Julie coming to walk my dogs as I work so this is much appreciated in that the dogs get exercise when I'm gone. When I met her I noticed she had a calm energy which works great with all my dogs. She is reliable and consistently comes on time. She walks the two big dogs a good distance too!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
