“Julie has been very good and patient with Poppy who is fearful of new people and takes a while to warm up. She has thought of ways to make Poppy more comfortable with her, like introducing her dog to Poppy, and it is working. She has been dependable and I feel better knowing that Poppy has had some outdoor time while I am at work.”
“Isabelle does a great job! She is consistent, timely, and great with my cat! I never worry while she's taking care of him. Would recommend, and will definitely be working with her again!”
“Lorie & her daughter are great. They were consistent with the not fun stuff likenkeeping up on the litter box. My cats were really comfortable with them. (Otis & Cooper are not always so engaging) Such peace of mind. Thank you. I will be booking Lorie again.”
“I’m so happy we found someone so wonderful to watch and check on our dogs while we were gone! Angie always provided pictures as well to show us our fur babies were doing good and it warmed our hearts!”
“Sara is by far the best day to day sitter we’ve ever had! I cannot put enough emphasis on the love and care she gave to my girls. She has always been super communicative and gives detailed accounts of her stay every single time. Plus she takes the cutest pictures of my pets ever. :) I can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I am currently in the military and used to have a chocolate lab. I decided to use Rover as an opportunity to help others and to spend time with dogs since we don’t have one of our own yet. I will be sure to give your dog lots of care and attention. My husband and I live in a great neighborhood to walk or run and we have a fully fenced yard to play. We both love dogs and will try to make them comfortable and happy while in our care. I’m usually available during the evenings or early mornings for drop off during the weekdays and anytime over the weekend. We love being at home so when we are out it’s usually just for a couple hours. Your dogs will be able to roam the house and enjoy the AC. I have a couple dog beds for them to be comfortable and if they want to sit on the furniture we have blankets we can lay under them. Your pet will be comfortable in our home. We have no restrictions for pets besides peeing/marking/pooping inside the house. We will have to resort to kenneling if that happens. We will spend lots of time walking the neighborhood and playing out back in our yard. Your dog will have fun being active, and if your dog is a lounging kind of dog, we can do that too. My husband and I are home bodies, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods of time.
About: Having my own 3 year old labrodoodle, I am well-versed in high energy dogs that need stimulating walks. I have done dog training courses with my own dog at the Happy Dog Institute in Tumwater and will work with your pup using positive reinforcement in our walks. I currently work from home and have availability to help walk your furry friend during the morning, afternoon or evening. I would love to be able to get your pup the daily exercise they need. I have been a dog owner for over 15 years and have experience walking dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’ve boarded friend’s dogs in my home and have been responsible for providing their daily care. I ensure owners are provided with GPS-tracked walks, a report of all activities in our walk and of course photos!
About: As a proud dog parent to two adorable pugs—one 2 years old and the other 9—I’ve developed a deep passion for understanding and caring for dogs, especially pugs and similar breeds. I believe every dog is unique, so I tailor my care to meet their individual physical and mental needs, whether that’s through enrichment activities, mindful routines, or simply lots of love. My interest in dog body language, nutrition, and behavior helps me better connect with dogs and support their well-being. I’m a strong advocate for each dog’s wellness and am committed to making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and truly understood.❤️ I currently work a full-time job, which means I’m available to provide pet care services after 4 PM on weekdays, and after 2 PM on Fridays. I’m also fully available on weekends and all federal holidays, giving me plenty of time to dedicate to your furry friends when you need it most. Whether it’s evening walks, weekend visits, or holiday care, I’m here to help with reliable, loving support. When caring for dogs, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I’m respectful of each owner’s preferences—whether your dog is crate-trained or prefers to free-roam, I’ll make sure they feel at ease and cared for. During walks or drop-in visits, I take extra care to securely use harnesses or collars, and always remove them once the dog is safely back home to avoid any risk of discomfort or choking. I ensure fresh food and water are provided as needed, and I love incorporating short sessions of mental enrichment to keep dogs engaged, stimulated, and happy. It’s my passion to create a safe and joyful experience for every pup I meet.
“This was my first time using Sandra to care for my dog and cat at my home with drop in visits. She went above and beyond what was expected and gave my pets a lot of love and attention that they were sorely missing with me being out of town! I would definitely use Sandra again ??!”
About: Hello! I’m an experienced farm hand, pet sitter, and babysitter with a genuine love for animals and children. With 7 years caring for farm animals, 5 dogs of my own all sizes from XS-XL, and 5 years babysitting experience from ages 0-14 year olds. I’m dependable, flexible, and always attentive to your pets’ and kids’ needs. Whether it’s feeding, playing, or just keeping them company, I’m here to help and give your loved ones the best care while you’re away. References available upon request! As a new high school graduate, I have an open weekday schedule, which allows me to be flexible and dedicated to pet care. I can easily fit visits, walks, and playtime into my daily or weekly routine to make sure your pets get the attention and care they need. I love and care for my pets all the same the only part that varies is feeding, catering to their needs, and keeping in mind any triggers the dogs might have (food aggression/resource guarding). But at a clients house I feed accordingly to the instructions I was left and give their fur baby as much cuddles and love as they’ll allow me to.
“Rachel was wonderful to our little cat baby! She is very responsive to messages and documents her check-ins well. I loved getting pictures of our cat while we were on vacation. We will definitely call her again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals my entire life growing up on a farm. I have been a Licensed Veterinary Technician for 24 years. I work part-time remotely and part-time in a vet clinic. I am looking to supplement my income while still working my current part-time jobs. I work Monday through Wednesday remotely. Then I'm working Thursday and Friday in a Veterinary Hospital. I'm mostly available Friday night through early Thursday morning. I have 4 dogs, 2 outdoor cats, 2 horses, and 15 chickens. I can easily separate dogs as needed with a secure large backyard. Our entire property is 5 acres completely fenced and cross fenced. My husband can easily take care of our animals if I'm away from the house.
About: I've walked many good dogs and some who are also good but like to give me trouble! I'm a large man, the heaviest and strongest of dogs would find me a challenge to drag along. I will pull the leash as little as needed and keep them distanced from any issues, and I will do my best in a tough situation. I love to bring treats so they can get to know and play with me! I'm cheaper than others and provide a better service for less. Thank you, have a good day! I'm very flexible with my main job's schedule, just message me for availability, and I'd be happy to work together on figuring out when the best time would be :) I can do everything and anything needed for your fur baby; walk, jog, bike, play fetch, tug of war, or run around together. I can administer medications, clean up after them, crate them, etc etc. I do it all just let me know what your pup needs!
