“Tala is exactly what you want to find on Rover! Responsible, respectful and communicative. Took wonderful care of my cat, my home and my peace of mind while I was away! Extremely thorough with twice daily drop in updates, including adorable pictures, but most importantly confirming that she was flawlessly executing the instructions I had left. I will rebook with her every time, and genuinely believe my cat is looking forward to me leaving so he can spend more time with his new bestie! 😻🙏🏻🤩”


“Elizabeth was amazing! She was so sweet and took great care of my doggies. She sent me a picture of them relaxing and happy. She was very communicative and professional. I would definitely recommend her.”


About: I have over four years of experience volunteering at Foothills Animal Rescue, where I specialized in caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. From walking energetic golden retrievers to cuddling with small cairn terriers, I’ve developed a deep understanding of canine needs and behaviors. I also have hands-on experience with dog sitting and have been around animals my entire life—I grew up in a home full of furry friends! What sets me apart is my background in strategic and corporate communication, which helps me work with both dogs and their owners in a thoughtful, reliable, and efficient way. I genuinely love dogs and always aim to provide care that is both compassionate and dependable. I’d be honored to support you and your pup however I can! I currently work part-time at the Disneyland Resort in Entertainment, with most of my shifts in the evening. This means I’m typically available for pet care any time before 6 PM, including mornings and afternoons. My flexible daytime schedule allows me to provide dependable care and attention to your pet when you need it most! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I would my own. I follow all care instructions closely, maintain a calm and clean environment, and make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you're away. I'm experienced with gently encouraging even very large dogs into their crates and safely putting on harnesses to ensure walks are secure and stress-free. I prioritize routines, comfort, and clear communication so both you and your pup can feel at ease. Your pet’s well-being and your trust mean everything to me!

About: I’ve taken care of pets for neighbors, friends, and family since before I can remember. Still see my family dog weekly but would love more dog energy in my life. I go on a lot of walks and runs and would love to bring a dog with me or stop by and check on your pet. I’m not able to have pets where I live but would love to stop by and hang out with yours! Happy to walk or feed or just check in when needed

About: I’ve had a dog for 8 years now and recently adopted a 4 year old poodle mix, they are my boys. I have experience watching dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with reactive dogs and know how to accommodate them for stress free walks. My biggest strength is patience, which I believe is crucial in making your dog feel comfortable, especially the anxious and shy ones. I am happy to help with basic command training and conditioning. My partner and I both currently work remotely. I am in a role that is not meeting heavy so I am happy to accommodate to your schedule for walks and drop ins. Housesitting: I will do my best to keep your dog’s routine to not disrupt what they are used to while you are away. I am happy to care for your plants, help retrieve mail, and bring in/out garbage cans if needed. For boarding: Our condo has a small patio with a cot where your pup can sunbathe in. We also have a crate if preferred. Across the street there is a park with plenty of grass, and two streets away there is a dog park we can walk to. Your dog will be welcomed by our two male doggies ages 10 and 4 who are friendly and generally calm. We will send plenty of pics because we know that we miss our fur babies when we are away from them. Please let me know your dog’s daily feeding routine as well as allergies, known commands, favorite treats, etc.

About: I had a chihuahua/terrier (Bijoux) for 16 years and had her from puppy until she passed away from CHF. I spent walking, playing and raised her to be one tough but sweet cookie. When she was diagnosed with CHF/enlarged heart, she was taking multiple meds and I remained consistent with giving it to her even when she despised meds. After Bijoux passed away in 2022, I took care of my sister’s Jack Russell Terrier (Kobe) and poodle mix (Bona). I walked, played and fed them while my sister was at work. Bona also has CHF and I provided her medications twice a day. I love cats and dogs and would do anything to assist their owners while they’re away. I work full time; Im out in the field half day and I telework the rest of the time. Therefore, while I telework, I have flexibility to walk, feed, play and keep the dogs in my home.Although my work fluctuates, I have a steady evening availability during the week and weekends Im a lot more flexible. I have a friendly dog and can also crate your dog if needed. You can either drop off your dog at my place or I can come to you to walk the dog.

Honestly, pets of all kinds just seem to gravitate toward me as I’m a very kind and caring person!

Some are crated and others are allowed to roam freely, this all just depends on what you prefer.

When I need to travel or be away she always has a wonderful time with Ashley who maintains our routine with walks and frisbee time.

Northwest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Shae is absolutely amazing! I have two Yorkie’s, ones extremely playful and the other is … old and very hard on new people lol but Shae was so patient! My older Yorkie warmed up to her so quickly which is a great sign! Lol she also provided great & thorough updates daily WITH PICTURES and a report card lol I couldn’t ask for anyone better. If you need a sign to book her, this is your sign!!!

Aurora took such great care of my asthmatic kitty and was able to give her her inhaler with ease. I did not have to worry at all while I was out of town! She sent many photo and video updates during her visits and I could tell that my cat loved her. Would definitely book again!

Shihua did an amazing job watching my cat Binky! She sent me tons of pictures and a message every day, which was so reassuring since it was my first time leaving him at home for so long. I would definitely love to book her again to petsit for Binky! Thanks Shihua!!

5 Stars – The Best Pet Sitter We’ve Had! We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Marisol was absolutely amazing with both our cat Gin and dog Makii during her house drop-in visits. From the moment she met them, it was clear she had a genuine love for animals, our usually shy cat even came right up to her, which never happens! She was super attentive, gave both pets plenty of love and playtime, and kept everything incredibly clean and tidy. We came home to happy pets and a spotless home, which made the whole experience completely stress-free. If you’re looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and truly great with animals, Marisol is the one. We’ll definitely be booking her again!

I highly recommend Juan! He arrived on time, took 15 mins to get to know us and our needs, and was super caring with our dog, Tobi. If you are looking for someone who is calm, caring, patient, and great at communicating, I would highly suggest contacting Juan.
