About: I have cared for a variety of animals since I was 8; I have owned and cared for cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens, and sheep. Additionally, I have cared for cats, dogs, and reptiles of others since age 10, including administering medication. I pride myself on being kind, attentive, and respectful towards all animals. I specialize in animals who need gentle and/or quiet attention. I currently work 8am-5pm M-F with some evening events at a local University. I am able to provide care and feeding before and after work. On the weekends I am generally available all day. In my own home I have a cat who needs a quiet and gentle approach. I am happy to adjust my approach to whatever needs your home and pet(s) need.
“There wasn’t lack of positivity in any attribute when it came to Damian sitting my pup in my home. He was timely, communicative, and professional with me. He was endlessly patient with my anxious dog, Saint. Damian left my home just as clean as I left it to him. He even took the time to talk debrief his stay and chatted anime with my son! 10/10, def recommend, will rebook :) Thanks, Damian!”
“Renee was wonderful. She let us know how the pups and cats were doing daily. She also sent lots of pictures and videos! There was no doubt that our little zoo was well taken care of while we were away.”
“Tyshaun pet sat our 3 dogs and 2 cats twice and we are very happy with his work. My dogs, took to him quickly and we’re happy to see him the second time around. We felt at ease knowing our fur babies were well looked after!”
“Felicia was amazing! We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Thank you for everything. We’ll be in touch for another upcoming trip we’ll need your services for!”
“Vivianna stayed with my zoo for the weekend. She was incredibly communicative and sent updates and pictures. I knew they were in great hands the entire time”
“Vanessa was amazing! She took great care of my pups and stated in touch with me throughout her stay at my home. The house was clean when we arrived home too. Thank you so much Vanessa!”
“JaNasia is incredibly kind, patient, and responsible. She was able to handle our small zoo without issue and was always responsive and easy to reach. Will definitely be reaching out to book with her again!”
“Sharon was awesome throughout the whole process! She communicated great, gave me updates multiple times a day and took great care of my dog. I will definitely keep her in mind for future times that I travel.”
“Kaylie clearly loves animals, and gives me peace of mind while I'm away from home. She is very responsive, flexible, and lets me know how everyone is doing while she is sitting. I come home to calm animals, not stressed out or desperate for attention.”
“Ali was so amazing. Our cat loved her so much, she kept us updated with so many photos and videos, and was so accommodating and available last minute! Will definitely be using her again - our baby made a new best friend💜”
“I have 3 dogs and a cat, and Sam truly went above and beyond while watching them. One of my pups had an upset tummy during the stay, and Sam didn’t hesitate to give meds and keep an eye on him. He handled our noisy cat like a champ too, and somehow made all of them feel like he was part of the family. He didn’t even mind being woken up in the middle of the night for potty breaks, which shows the kind of patience and care he has. He kept up with the normal routines without me even having to ask feedings, fresh water, playtime, brushing, cuddles, you name it, he did it. He’s great about sending pictures and updates, so I never had to wonder how everyone was doing. It made being away so much less stressful knowing he had everything under control. When we got home, the house was spotless. He even went the extra mile by putting his towels in the washer and doing the dishes. The mail was brought in, everything was tidy, and the animals were happy and relaxed. We had him booked until noon, but he came back at 1:30 to let them out one last time before we got home, which really shows the kind of sitter he is. Sam is polite, dependable, and you can tell he genuinely loves animals. My dogs adored him right away, and even our cat, who usually hides from everyone, warmed up to him. I honestly cannot say it enough—he is the best! We’ve never trusted anyone with our babies the way we trust him, and we’ve definitely found our new sitter. If you’re on the fence about booking him, don’t be—you will be well taken care of”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always been someone that my friends and family trust to care for their pets. I also have a cat of my own, so I’m very comfortable with both dogs and cats and understand their different personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that be going on walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and consistent. I know how important it is to stick to a pet’s routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My schedule is flexible since I work in a restaurant. I’m typically available mornings, early afternoons, and later evenings, with full availability on Wednesdays and Thursdays. You can count on me to show up, keep you updated, and treat your pet like my own. I work in a restaurant, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m typically available mornings, early afternoons, and later evenings, with full availability on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I treat every pet and home with care and respect. I stick closely to feeding, walking, and medication routines, and I always pay attention to how each pet is feeling so I can adjust as needed. I keep doors secure, maintain a clean space, and make sure pets are safe and comfortable at all times. Whether your pet is high energy or more laid back, I meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel at ease.
About: I grew up with a dog in my home. She came when I was 5 and died when I was in college. I love dogs and I love walking them to keep them healthy. I am experienced with taking care of them in your home or walking. I am fit and love to walk and would love to walk your dog. My black lab died a couple of years ago. He was 15. I loved to walk and play with him. I miss taking him for walks and playing outside with him. I am currently retired, but do enjoy volunteering with local community activities. I attend Silver Sneakers exercise program twice a week and enjoy staying active. I am available during the early morning hours and in the evening, but can make exceptions. I offer a dog walking service, however, I am open to pet sit in the home of your pet if needed. It can be for a day or longer. I prefer dogs of larger breeds. I had a black lab who has passed away, my friend has rottweilers and neighbors have a sheep dog and German shepherd who I get along great with.
Northwest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hannah did a wonderful job watching our two basset hounds. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared for them as if they were her own. We came home to two happy, well cared for dogs and had peace of mind while we were away. We would gladly use Hannah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
My dogs had an absolute great time with Renee. She followed all of my dogs special needs instructions medication yard time ect and sent lots of pictures my boy is very picky about his comfort with people but he was sure to sleep belly up even got a picture of it. My girl is pretty easy going too but she also clearly had fun making a mess with her toys. Renee even took the trash out and cleaned up after the dogs which was not expected. Over all very pleasant great communication lots of silly dog pics and a house cleaner returned cleaner than expected we will be using her in the future.
She did great! The only thing I would ask for is more updates! We particularly love a lot of updates and pictures! But other than that she handled their care well! And our house was exactly the way we left it if not cleaner!!! She took care of the meds the best she could with a difficult cat and she took care of our other animals with exceptional care!
Olivia stayed at our home with our 13-year-old senior dog and took great care of him. He was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when we got back. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we were away. We’d definitely have Olivia stay with him again
Cayla has been an amazing dog sitter for Luna and Lacey. She’s consistently responsible, reliable, and easy to communicate with, which gives me real peace of mind when I’m away. Most importantly, Luna and Lacey absolutely adore her—it’s clear she genuinely cares about them and makes them feel comfortable and happy. I highly recommend Cayla to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!
Jenna was amazing! She was friendly, communicative, respectful, flexible with scheduling and great with our little "zoo". All the pups and kitties were so happy and relaxed when we returned home from our mini vacay. Anyone would be in great hands booking with her.
This is the second time we have used Rover and we booked Gretchen both times. We hate leaving our cat Sammy, but knowing Gretchen is taking such loving care of him makes it easier. We’ve already booked her to take care of him the next time we have to be out of town.
Antonio sat for my dogs for a week over the holidays and as usual he did a great job! My dog Dexter injured his eye a few days before I went out of town and I was worried I may need to postpone or cancel my trip, but Antonio was so reassuring and helpful. He was able to give my dog his eye drops and even took him to the vet for a scheduled recheck while I was gone. Had it not been for Antonio I would have likely missed my trip. I felt comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands while I was gone. As always he was very responsive and checked in with pictures and videos. He even made the cutest New Year’s Eve video of the pups. Antonio really went above and beyond and I would be happy to have him care for my dogs any time.
We could not have asked for a better sitter, especially over Christmas. She cared for our dogs and cat for a full week during the holidays and went far above and beyond what we expected. Our dog Nemo can be very difficult with eating, and she was incredibly patient — even spoon-feeding him to make sure he ate. That alone meant the world to us. She handled all of our pets with so much care, attention, and kindness, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. She kept us updated, treated our animals like her own, and truly went the extra mile during a busy holiday week. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets, and that peace of mind is priceless. We would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and dedicated sitter.
Thank you so much for your care and flexibility with the meet & greet and with key drop off!! I really really appreciate that you spent so much time at the apartment with Eddie, it made me feel so much better knowing he wouldn’t be lonely 🫶🏻 thank you so much!!
