I currently own 3 cats and 3 dogs. My family takes care of them when I am away so I am able to help you with your pet care needs. I am also comfortable around chickens. My pets are a part of my family. I would treat your pets like my own. I love going on walks with dogs and teaching them new tricks. I only take 1 client at a time.

I do require meet and greets for overnight care bookings. I am happy to help families beyond the radius I have set on rover however I do charge a gas fee of $20 + for locations more than 20 minutes from me. My work schedule is flexible. I work from home 4 days a week (tues-fri). I am able to step away when needed for walks/potty breaks. I will follow your directions and pet needs. I have a reliable vehicle to get to your home.

About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was 2 years old. My dog was my best friend from 2-16 yrs. I was raised on a mini farm and was lucky enough to care for horses, cows, pigs, chickens, several dogs, many cats and recently goats. Nothing brings me more happiness than being around our furry friends. Currently, we have 3 miniature poodle mixes, which we love beyond words. We recently adopted a St. Bernard/Pitbull mix. We have a big dog house 24’x12’ fully fenced to board big dogs. Medium 20 lbs to extra small dogs board/daycare inside our home. We offer an alternative to traditional boarding/daycare. Our dogs are family and guest dogs are welcomed to our family pack. Animals are my passion and bring me fulfillment and joy! Providing daycare and boarding is my profession. I worked a corporate job 35 years as a director in the health insurance field. After I was laid off I decided to not go back to the long hours and stress. Instead I dove head first into following my dream of opening a pet service business. I’ve taken my business experience and love for animals to the next level. I am excellent at following the care plan you give me. I want to take care of your pet as you would with as much love as I can give them. I understand the need for pet parents to travel or work knowing their pets are safe, exercised and loved. I offer a customized experience developed just for your dog.

“Alright... where to begin! Brian did a wonderful meet and greet with my boys (two newfoundlands) and walked them today without me..that may seem like a strange thing to say but Byron (my younger boy) refuses to go on a walk for anyone but me - not even my husband! He was perfectly fine on going on the walk with Sinjin (my older boy) and Brian. No temper tantrums, no refusal to walk. NONE of it. Brian took them on a good walk, they had fun and their were no problems.”

“Madisyn has been doing a great job walking our big rambunctious collie. She is reliable amd communicative and may have some special magic, as our cat who is normally aloof with nonfamily took to her right away and followed her to get more pets.”

“Tara came to our rescue when our regular sitter fell through at the last minute. We were overjoyed after the meet & greet to have someone local that clearly “gets dogs”. Plan to book with her in the future, and are so grateful for the daily updates and photos. Thanks Tara and Leo/Khali look forward to walks with you again soon!”

About: As an experienced dog sitter, I go beyond basic care by truly understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have a natural ability to read their body language and adapt to their moods, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medications, following specific dietary plans, or providing enriching playtime and walks, I tailor my approach to each dog’s routine. My calm and attentive demeanor helps even the most anxious dogs feel at ease, and I maintain clear communication with pet owners for peace of mind. Having cared for my own senior Pomeranian, Zeus, until he was 14, I am particularly attuned to the special needs of older dogs, including administering medications and adjusting routines for their comfort. I currently have an year and a half year old Yellow Labrador Retriever named cooper, so well experienced with puppies I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or just extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to be there consistently. I love getting outside for walks and making sure dogs stay mentally and physically happy while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, energy levels, and temperaments, including senior dogs and puppies. I always keep a close eye during walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment.

“Alisha has a real connection with all animals. Our dog Moxie loves her! Alisha followed my instructions and gave me regular updates, including pics. I felt that all our animals (dog, cat and horses) were in good hands with her. I will definitely use Alisha again in the future!”

About: Responsible pet sitter for over 30 years. Grew up taking care of my family’s dog Bebe (chowchow and German Sheppard mix) and other family and friend's pets over the years. I have experience with a lot of different breeds and mixes. Experienced with all sizes. I work from home full time and take a lot of mandatory breaks. I live next to an arboretum and take plenty of walks throughout my day. I live alone and keep a really clean, smoke free apartment. Your pet will be under direct supervision and care throughout the day with as many check ins as needed. I am able to care for your pets in your home as well.

About: I'm a country boy originally from TX. I've worked with and around animals for my whole life. I have over two decades of pet walking and pet sitting experience (shoot, I'll even water your plants!) When pet sitting I make sure to respect all the rules my animal pal's human tells me about. I encourage educational play and can handle high-energy animals just as well as the couch potato pets. I ensure feeding schedules and strict diets are on-paw (on point lol). On walks, I encourage good leash behavior and can work on reducing unwanted behaviors, like pulling, and leash aggression. I am prepared for emergency situations as well. Prevention is key, but sometimes accidents happen and my connection with multiple vets in town can ensure prompt service. I love animals because just as each human has their own personality so does each furry friend. Im here to help you and your pet pals when you're in a pickle! I work a flexible remote job and can mobile in short notice. I care for my dog, so if house sitting will need to make occasional trips home to attend to him (dont worry my roommate keeps him company when I'm out). I am available on weekends and after 5pm week days for walks, and can house sit any day of the week as long as I can connect to wifi. I have an aging dog pal and we have been through a lot of experiences together. He didnt have the best health when I adopted him, so I had to keep with him on a strict diet and medication schedule. I treat both my clients house and four-pawed friends with the same gentle care that I show Jaxson, my dog.

About: I grew up in a large family with many pets. We had five dogs and two cats growing up, and I have had my own pets since. I’ve had multiple dogs and cats over the years, though I just moved back to Washington, so I have no pets at the moment. I currently have open availability and am able to provide visits or stay over at clients homes to care for pets. I’m able to arrange arrival and departure to fit your schedule. I am able to fit whatever needs the client has. If your pets are accustomed to being out and about in the home, I can spend time with them that way. I also am able to use kennels for feeding or sleeping if that’s what they are used to. I’m comfortable keeping things tidy and making sure it’s a safe and clean space for them to hang out.

“Tiffany was flexible with her time and walked Maximus when it worked best (evening because of the heat). You can tell instantly she’s an animal lover and w would be happy to have her walk Maximus for us again when we go out of town!!”
