I am a first-time dog owner who was nervous leaving my puppy with a sitter, but Gregory and Brittanie were willing to do a meet-and-greet ahead of our booking, putting me at ease about leaving Leo. They graciously answered all of my questions and replied to my messages promptly. Leo seemed very at ease around them and happy when I came to pick him up.

I would happily recommend them to other pet owners. Thank you, Gregory and Brittanie!”


About: Since childhood, there has never been a time when I have never had a dog best friend attached to my hip. I always have and always will continue to put these best friends health, diet, and exercise at the forefront so they continue to live their best and longest lives possible. I will absolutely treat your special loved one as if it were my own. Myself, Lacey/significant other, 2 young gentlemen(10/12). Winnie (3.5 year Golden Retriever), and Boba/Mochi (2 silly cats) live on a beautiful 2 acre landscaped property in the South Bay area of Olympia. A fantastic place for the dogs to explore, run free, fetch balls, with a great open concept dog friendly living space. We would love to share this space and Winnie (and my boys!) would love some friends to run with! I have quite the flexible schedule and have had a home-based career for 13+ years. I will tailor to their diet and feeding timelines, as well as any special requirements that are not outside the extreme norm. Property is mostly fenced (fully fenced soon), however dogs will always be supervised or contained within a vicinity. I can accommodate their sleeping habits, whether they are crate trained or prefer to sleep on a dog bed. They will be treated and loved as our own.

About: I’ve had or taken care of pets my entire life. I will listen to you and what your pet’s needs are and will ensure that they get the best care. Being in the position of needing pet care myself at times, I know how important it is to be confident in your sitter. I currently work from home 3 days a week and my wife is home on the days that I am away. Weekends are usually spent taking the dogs for daily outings. I can provide the importance of a partially fenced in yard. I am always willing to take your dog out on a leash if there is a threat of them running off. I love taking my pups out back on the acreage to run around. My 3-year old golden retriever and 11-year old basset hound will be able to accompany your dog in the yard :)


“Cambria is incredible!! My puppy Bentley has a blast all the time with her and her family! I’m so grateful that she works with my hectic work schedule! Truly blessed to have found someone so caring and passionate about animals :) Thanks Cambria!!”

About: "𝚄𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚕 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚑𝚊𝚜 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚍 𝚊𝚗 𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚖𝚊𝚕, 𝚊 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝚘𝚗𝚎'𝚜 𝚜𝚘𝚞𝚕 𝚛𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚜 𝚞𝚗𝚊𝚠𝚊𝚔𝚎𝚗𝚎𝚍." - 𝚄𝚗𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠𝚗 Howdy! My name is Winnie! I'm a dog person & cat lover & a friend to all animals and people. I am a member and friend of the 2SLGBTQ+ community! You and your pet family are safe with me ❤️🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 I've been a sitter on Rover since 2015 so for about 9 years, and I've been taking care of animals and people my whole life! My usual day job is an Optician - I am on hiatus to care for my kids (4 & 2). I do sell my art and upcycled clothing at the Tacoma Sunday Fleamarket which is once a month. I am a single mom the kids will be at the house if you board and my kids usually join me when house sitting. They get along with all animals and are well seasoned travelers. We normally bring a pack n play so they don't play with any nicknacks. We play outside a lot. I enjoy playing music, screen printing and sewing in my free time. If your pets are not child friendly - no fear! I do drop in visits kid-free if that works for your pet family's schedule. If it's a shorter house sitting request (1-4 days) I can arrange to come kid free if you're needing care that way. I can travel anywhere from Shelton-Steamboat ✨Olympia- Lakewood - Tacoma -Gig Harbor - Seattle✨ The home boarding loction is in Lakewood, additionally I only sit one family of animals at a time to avoid any chaos or drama between animals that don't know each other! 𝓔𝔁𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓮 If your zoo needs an experienced and professional circus tamer I'm your gal! I have lots of experience with large animal families (up to 8 dogs in one family). I have also had experience with chickens, lizards, bearded dragons, snakes and fish as well as household plants and vegetable gardens. I love all dog breeds, I have personally never seen an ugly dog, and I love playing outside! I've had dogs since I was about a year old, and I never looked back. I'm great at the general care of animals, first aid, eyedrop administration, medications, animals with special needs or wheelchairs (senior animals too) and anything else you need me to know,,, I'm a fast learner! 𝕎𝕙𝕪 𝕀 𝕝𝕠𝕧𝕖 𝕕𝕠𝕘 𝕤𝕚𝕥𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘 I like being apart of their lives/keeping them safe for any amount of time possible. I like helping and have always been a worker bee so this makes me feel productive and good about myself about what I get to contribute to the world around me. I am covid safe, an avid mask wearer, and if you want me to spend the night I bring my own linens & blankets so there is as little germs of mine left in your space. Before I leave I disinfect and thoroughly clean. I respect people's spaces so let me know the rules & I will follow them as well as any special requests you have. For longer stay sits I do have a 4 & 2 year old that usually accompany me (mostly night times if the dog is kid friendly)! My kids are animal lovers & well travelled so they are well mannered and gentle for their ages. I also have a dog named Pablo who likes to stay at my house and sleep (he's an old man-dog) again if it's a longer sit and your animals are safe with other dogs he sometimes comes along with! Most of the time he prefers to stay home. Im a home body and stay home, I don't typically travel far or vacation, am consistent and am available on short notice. I am available for zoom interviews for short notice sits and always available for in person meet & greets - just let me know how to make you comfortable! We can even do a zoom interview before the meet and greet to gauge if I'm a good fit for your situation ❤️ I hope to meet you! -Winnie I am currently house sitting and boarding full time! I'm a stay at home single mom and this is what we do full time. I am also a seamstress and do fleamarkets occasionally on the weekends. When I have those they are pre-planned in advance and I can give you details upon your sitting request. I try to be as non-invasive as possible. I bring my own blankets, towels & silverware. I like to make sure the daily routine of your animal is as close to it usually is. I keep dogs on leashes no matter what when on walks! And usually keep them contained when loading anything in or out to avoid any running away/chasing them around kind of drama. Anything you recommended to me or want me to do I will make sure happens to ensure your pets & home are safe. For boarding I have a very large fenced back yard with a locked gate which is the only access outside. There's also neighborhoods around with side walks for walks. I do have a hotel styled lock at the top of my front door that makes it impossible for the kids to accidentally open it and let any animals out. I also usually for boarding attach an air tag to the animal while they are at my house for extra precaution. No such thing as too safe!

About: I have had pets my whole life and been involved in all things animals for as long as I can remember. I volunteered at the local Shelter for around 6 years. Working with all types of dogs. I am also working towards being a dog trainer. I have worked with my own reactive dog and reactive dogs from the shelter. I am currently unemployed, doing schooling online. My schedule is usually wide open. I’m home all day with the occasional 1-2 hour leave for errands, if your dog does not do good alone let me know in advance and I’ll make sure to be home the whole time. I have a large fenced yard with 3 friendly dogs. However I will keep them separate for safety reasons, 2 are old men and can be done with interactions pretty quickly. If your dog(s) need a play date, I have a young Doberman mix that would be a great play mate, she loves everyone and everything. I’m very good at reading dog behaviors and body languages and tend to know exactly when something could go wrong. The dogs could be easily separated and not come into contact again. I would also feed dogs separately to avoid any resource guarding that could come up.

About: Will keep the dog(s) entertained, fed, and cleaned up after. I take photos so I can even send some to you of your pets while with me. I hope they have a favorite toy or ball because we will be playing fetch or toss with each other. I like how each dog has their own personality that only comes out from spending time with them. So I’m excited to meet new friends and hopefully walk or sit them multiple times. I understand pets and respect them on a high level; which means I feel like your dog is your child. You won’t have to worry about if your dog is in good hands or not. I miss having a dog around my home. So I’m just looking to hang out with yours. Thanks in advance! :) This is my full time work. Please keep me busy, and know that I'll be happy to help. I have open availability at this time. I will make sure they are fed on time and let them outside to go to the bathroom. They are treated like family. Nothing but the best.
