“Ari is great with our two big dogs. They can be a lot to handle on the leash. Ari not only manages them but makes it look easy. Sends great pics and really loves the dogs. Highly recommended!”


About: 【Pet Care Experience】 I care for every animal as if they were my own and always strive to make them feel safe, seen, and loved. I was actively involved in an animal protection society for 3 years, where I helped rescue and foster sick or abused cats and dogs. In August 2022, my friends and I discovered 42 abandoned breeding cats in a closed pet store in Guangzhou—we organized their rescue and successfully found homes for them. I personally fostered and rehomed 5 cats and 2 dogs. Currently, I volunteer at a local shelter 1–3 shifts a week, helping with dog walking, kennel cleaning, and matching pets with potential adopters. My experiences have allowed me to work closely with animals of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. ———————————————— 【Schedule】 I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the care and attention they deserve. I usually offer drop-in visits and dog walks between 6:30am and 6:30pm. If my calendar shows availability, you’re more than welcome to book. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and will care for yours with lots of love and attention. Before booking, we’ll set up a meet & greet so I can get to know your pets better and make sure everything goes smoothly. ❤️ ———————————————— 【Safety, Trust & Environment 】 I understand that being away from your pets can sometimes feel difficult. I provide updates with photos and care details through the Rover card after each visit. If you’d also like video updates, just let me know and I’ll be happy to send them separately, helping you stay close and reassured while you’re away.☺️ While I don’t host pets in my home, I’m here to care for your pets right where they feel most comfortable. Whether they need companionship, hand feeding, medication, or special attention, I’ll look after them with patience and genuine care. ————————————————

About: I've been a pet lover since I was a kid. I started with frogs, lizards and snakes, and graduated to cats and dogs. Until I was able to have dogs of my own, I spent over 10 years pet-sitting for friends and family, volunteering in animal shelters, and have even worked in 2 seperate doggy daycares. My MO is always long walks and lots of attention. I have 2 dogs of my own, a cumulative 17 years of pet raising experience. I have experience caring for sick pets and administering medication both orally and subcutaneously. I've had my pups since they were young and would consider them very well trained. If you're looking to work on certain behaviors, I can absolutely work on that during their stay. I have a fenced yard, a safe neighborhood for long walks, and for longer stays, expect your dog to enjoy a nice hike! I mostly work from home, so your dog(s) would never be alone and would have access to my fully fenced backyard whenever they want. During the week, I can do a long walk during my lunch break, and another after work. Weekends I tend to go hiking, so if your pup enjoys nature, they will for sure have a great time. My yard is fully fenced, and I have 2 friendly dogs. Safety is paramount, so dogs would be supervised while in the yard together. If your dog requires a crate, I have both a plastic and soft sided kennel for indoors.

About: With over 30 years of experience as a pet owner of both cats and dogs, I’ve naturally transitioned into pet sitting and house sitting for others—starting with friends and family, and growing through word of mouth to care for pets of friends of friends. I’m a lifelong animal lover who takes pride in providing loving, reliable care for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s a short visit or a long-term stay, I follow instructions carefully, maintain a clean and tidy environment, and prioritize clear, consistent communication with pet owners for total peace of mind. I currently work weekends only 12-8pm in Olympia so I am free around those hours and all week long! I am available for drop ins as well as overnight stays. I take great pride in caring for my 11-year-old rescue cat in my apartment, creating a calm and nurturing environment tailored to her needs. From maintaining a clean, cozy space to providing regular meals, playtime, and gentle affection, I ensure she feels secure and loved every day. This same level of attentiveness and compassion extends to the pets I care for in other people’s homes. I prioritize each animal’s comfort and routine, while respecting the owner's space and preferences, fostering a sense of safety and trust. Whether it's feeding, administering medication, or offering companionship, I approach every pet with patience, reliability, and genuine care.

“Paige has been awesome. Very dependable and our Basset, Maddie loves her walks with Paige. I booked a couple of days to start while my wife was hospitalized and I was spending long hours there. I have now booked a second week, two walks a day because Paige has proven to be excellent!”

“Helena takes the best care of my dog! She always makes time for her in her schedule. I always look forward to the updates she sends me after her visit”


“Maria is especially good at coaxing our dog out on walks when the pup doesn't want to go. We also appreciate that she submits Rover cards for each visit and leaves the house exactly as she found it. We feel so much better about being at work all day knowing Maria is spending time with our dog.”


About: Hi there! I’m Sophia. I’m passionate about providing excellent care for your pets. With experience volunteering at a dog shelter and assisting at a farm in Germany, I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. My main responsibilities included walking dogs and preparing them to accompany trail rides, which taught me how to keep pups active, stimulated, and happy. For the past two years, I’ve expanded into in-home pet sitting, caring for dogs and cats ! Because I’m currently studying for my Computer Science degree remotely, I have the flexibility to stay with your pets all day—perfect for animals who need extra companionship or frequent care. You can trust me to care for your pets as if they were my own. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative—you’ll receive regular updates about your pet’s well-being while you’re away, I also love taking pictures of pets and love sharing them with their fur parents :) Whether it’s following feeding schedules, administering medication, or just providing company, I’m committed to keeping your pet comfortable and happy. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and full-time pet sitting tailored to your pet’s needs. Let me know how I can help! I’m currently 90% at home cause I can do my degree from home , so I’d love to fill my weeks meeting some new fur friends and taking care of them As a house sitter, I stay in your home to provide consistent care, maintaining your pet’s routine to avoid confusion. For drop-ins, I ensure feeding, playtime, and litter box cleaning are done on schedule. For dog walking, I stick to their usual routes and energy needs.

About: I used to own several animals and always loved having them around i would watch family animals take them on walks play with them i believe animals are family I am a self employed parent of a one year old I will have plenty of time to take your fur baby on walks to the park play time whatever they need I am attentive and caring I will always give your fur baby the same amount of attention as you would long walk play time whatever they need

About: * summer is here and I still have a few openings left so book asap! Also... I know it seems too early and sunny to think about the holidays, but I usually book up months in advance so reach out, even if you don't have exact travel plans, but know you'll need pet care. I currently have Labor Day already booked, but mid November - New Years is pretty much open, except one booking in Dec. Check my updated calendar. My dog care experience spans all ages and breeds. I know puppies are more work, but I enjoy working with them on leash and obedience training to maintain good habits while their people are away. I have experience with giving daily medications and have cared for senior dogs, one who needed daily blood sugar testing and insulin shots. I live mobile between pet sitting gigs staying with friends and family from Marysville to Olympia. I started pet sitting for clients when I was house cleaning during the time I was in grad school. Because I was already working in their homes and had biweekly interactions with their pets, it was an easy transition to pet care. It was also during this time that a couple of professors inquired about pet sitting. I was a backup for one of thier regular sitters and the other, I'm still their regular sitter 7+ years later. I care for your pets the same way you would. They like to sleep in the bed with me? Cool. They need extra outside play time or walks to keep their anxiety low because you're gone? Done. I am very intuitive to reading their energy and do everything I can to meet their needs. Do you have some anxiety about being away and want pictures daily? Got it covered. My experience with house cleaning also menas I take care of the spaces I am staying so I am happy to water house plants and take care of gardens if needed.

About: I have taken care of all types of dogs since I could remember! I’ve never known life without a furry companion by my side and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am a nurse by day trying to cure my burnout by caring for your furry friends! I am an excellent communicator and I will keep you informed every step of the day. I just moved to the area with my two Australian Shepards and a cat. My schedule is completely open right now and I’d love to take your furry friend on an adventure while we explore our new neighborhood! I have a fenced in backyard that backs up to nature trails. We have pet cameras so we can always keep a watchful eye on the animals and we love walking around and exploring new areas! I can really provide whatever environment your dog/cat will do best in!

“Ashley was great! She came over for an initial walk to meet our pup while we were home, at our request, before starting weekly walks during the work day. She responded very promptly and was polite and flexible. Our dog was very happy after the walk and we are very excited to keep working with Ashley.”


About: I’ve taken care of my friend’s pets for a bit now. I love taking them on walks, give them food, play with them and give them lots of love and attention. I had some experience with puppies and older dogs. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I'm currently working part-time as a caregiver for my father, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule. I’m confident I can easily accommodate your pet’s needs and routines, whether that’s daily walks, feedings, or any special care required. While I’m currently unable to host pets in my own home, I take great care in ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m happy to meet with you beforehand so you can get to know me and feel confident about entrusting me with your pet—especially for overnight stays or extended care. I treat every pet like family, following their routine closely and always prioritizing their well-being.

About: I’ve grown up with and cared for cats and dogs my whole life and have three cats of my own now. I enjoy watching dog and cat training shows to learn new ways to understand animal behavior. I’m big on patience, reading body language, and bringing calm, positive energy. I’ve cared for both young animals and seniors nearing the end of life, knowing each stage needs special attention and that every animal moves at their own pace. I build trust through routine, consistency, and by doing my best to understand the unique personality and past of each animal. I have a completely open schedule except for Tuesday mornings from 9 to 12, when I volunteer at Peer Olympia. I already walk daily for pleasure and would love to bring your pet along for the fun! I enjoy visiting local parks, nature trails, or simply exploring neighborhoods, gathering inspiration from gardens and architecture along the way. I’m also open to doing Doggo Joggos by special request to help chill out the zoomies or maximize your pup's health and longevity. Every animal has a unique story and deserves to feel safe. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, creating calm, consistent routines they can rely on. Animals pick up on energy and body language, so I focus on staying grounded, positive, and present. Because I live a healthy, active lifestyle, I bring steady, supportive energy into every interaction. My goal is always to build a respectful environment where pets feel secure, understood, and able to grow at their own pace.

About: New to Rover but, with over a decade of experience as a trusted dog sitter, I have had the privilege of caring for countless furry companions, including those belonging to neighbors, friends, and coworkers. From goofy poodles (like my own) to energetic vizsla's, I've had the pleasure of nurturing a diverse range of breeds and personalities. My commitment to building strong relationships with both pets and their owners has led to countless referrals and repeat clients, solidifying my reputation as a go-to sitter in the area. I prioritize safety, exercise, and lots of cuddles!! I have a work schedule that gives me flexibility Thursdays and Fridays so I’m able to provide services for up to 4 days at a time :) I don’t have a pet friendly rental home so I prefer to care for pets at the clients home. This is what I’ve normally done for friends and family over the years. Plus pets seem more comfy in their own homes!

I recommend her services highly.”
Northwest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lauren was wonderful with our dog Millie. We had her come a couple times a week prior to our trip to get to know Millie and it worked out great. Lauren communicated very well. She was on time for every walk and followed instructions as there were a couple changes along the way. Gave daily reports and pics which helped. Thank you Lauren for being so great with our fur baby

Veronica has been amazing!! She was available very last minute (the day before) when I needed someone to walk my newly adopted dog. She’s been an amazing communicator, willing to do the little things like wipe my dogs paws after a walk or use the same command words that I use for my dogs. The photos of her walks are an extra touch that warms my heart. Would definitely recommend Veronica for your animal needs.

June has been walking my 2 large dogs for about a month now. She is my 2nd Rover walker, and I can not believe that I got so lucky again!! She is reliable and a great communicator. The dogs love her and she even helps with my chickens. I am so thankful to have her services. I would highly recommend June to anyone needing pet services.
