“Bobbie is amazing. I will NEVER have anyone else watch my Cassie girl. She loves my girl like her own and I know that Cassie is being loved on and taken care of.”

About: Hi! I am a stay-at-home mom of a human baby and two fur babies. I previously worked in upstate NY for a dog training company, My Dog Hikes, as a dog hiker where we took dogs from NYC into the woods for full day dog-care fun. Because of this I am comfortable giving medication and using training commands. I also have a Cattle Dog (Clayton) and Black Lab mix (Tarzan) of my own. I would love to take your little ones on the trails, play fetch in the yard, or just snuggle on the couch with lots of pets. I have a very open schedule so can work around any timeframe you need! As childcare is very expensive, please note before booking me that my son, Eli (3), will be joining me on my jobs. We can always meet beforehand to see if it's a good fit! Additionally - I do not accept requests for recurring weekly services and prefer them to be sporadic. As I am a stay-at-home mom your typical work week is when I am available. I can be flexible around your schedule! I can also stop by to spend some time with your pets on the weekend, so you can go enjoy a trip away. (: I do not care for dogs in my own home as my Lab does not like other dogs. In your home, however, I take care to follow all instructions closely! I take many pictures so prepare for cuteness overload. I also have experience working with a dog training/walking company in NYC and am comfortable with a wide array of needs.

“Deanna does a great job of cat-sitting when we’re out of town. Excellent with pets and great communication. We’re grateful to have found such a reliable pet-sitter close by.”

“Lydia was wonderful with my girls. They bark and intimidate some sitters, but she loved on them and took special care. She was also on-time for her visits. Very highly recommended.”

About: I have been pet sitting professionally for three years. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, ducks and lizards. I am comfortable working with dogs of all sizes from 130+ lb livestock guardian breeds to 5 lb chihuahuas. I have experience working with dogs with behavioral challenges like resource guarding and anxiety. I have over three years of experience with positive reinforcement training and I am currently working on a certification program to become a horse trainer. I would love to keep up your dog's training while you are gone and work with you to support any current training or management plans. I am patient and I love to work with puppies (and kittens) and adolescent dogs. I have 9 years of experience volunteering at a horse barn. I am comfortable working with horses and other livestock animals. I have experience giving oral medication and all the day to day care a horse requires. I am currently pet sitting full time. My schedule is flexible and I am happy to accommodate your pet's needs and routine. Let me know how much alone time your pet is comfortable with. I always follow instructions and management plans to the letter. I don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or clarifications as needed. Your pets safety and happiness is my top priority.

“Deborah is phenomenal. She’s pet sit for us a few times now and always goes above and beyond to make sure the kitties are cuddled and well taken care of. Also, always appreciate the attention to little things around the house. Highly recommend!”

About: I've taken care of many different pets since I was about 15 years old. Friends and family members have relied on me to feed and walk their pets (dogs, cats, bunnies) Currently I am babysitting kids on occasion, so I have plenty of time to take care of and spend time with your pets. I am able to spend week days/nights and weekends and am super flexible with time! I have a vehicle that is reliable and comfortable for transporting animals. I live in a nice, calm neighborhood and am open to having pets over to my home.

“Alyssa went above and beyond taking care of our cats. This was our first time using rover and she exceeded our expectations. We have 2 cats and she took the time to make them both feel comfortable and they warmed up to her right away. She was punctual and consistent and sent great photos to keep us updated. We would definitely use her again!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for every dog I care for. With 7 years of experience, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I treat each dog like they’re my own, giving them plenty of attention, care, and comfort while making sure they feel safe and happy I am currently working full time from 10:30-8 pm I am available all day on Wednesday’s and Thursdays! I am more than happy and willing to keep your fur babies happy on my days off. If i need to adjust my schedule to match yours, please let me know :) I have an open back and front yard that is on private property. I also have 4 dogs that will keep your doggie company :) I can also crate your dog if i have too!

About: I have a 9 year old golden retriever, a 9 year old German Shepherd and a 9 month old Belgian Malinois puppy of my own and have many years of experience caring for friends and family’s animals as well. I have experience working with up to 15 dogs in a dog day care outdoor play setting as well!! I love all animals! I love to get out of the house and take my own dog out for walks, trips to the lake and hikes! I work very well with dogs and all animals, it brings me happiness to be able to take care of them. I am more than willing to take your dog out for long walks, throw a ball for them and make sure they get all their energy out! I am comfortable with all breeds and do best with small-medium sized dogs, although I am willing to care for larger dogs as needed. I have plenty of experience with animals and would love to be able to help you out! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to help your pups get all their energy out! I am available most days after 1 pm, but my schedule is very flexible! My dogs are able to be out loose in my apartment when I am gone, but I have experience with crating them while I am gone. I want to make sure it is a positive experience for the pups so whatever the owner and dog are most comfortable with is what works for me :)

“This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely rebook. I needed someone last minute to do drop by visits, Emily responded quickly, within a few hours we had a visit and I booked right after. Walker was well taken care of and she even kept and eye out on my horses as well. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!”

About: I have lived with animals most of my life. While I currently do not own a pet, I have continued to surround myself with the animals of my friends and family. I started cat-sitting 2 years ago. When I pet sit, I aim to ensure a great experience for my furry friends. I am currently working part-time as an Occupational Therapist (OTR/L) and am flexible in my hours. I am currently a part-time Occupational Therapist, so I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of your furry friend. I have my own transportation as well. I work hard to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your animal in their home environment. A detailed description of your animal's needs is much appreciated.

“Once again, Ashanta was great with Gentry’s drop in visits. He so looks forward to seeing her and spending time with her. Definitely recommend.”

About: Brad and I both have enjoyed our own cat family members and those of others, all our lives. I love how each kitty and doggy has its own personality and marvel at how they are such a gift frim God to us humans! We also look forward to raising some travel funds! I work for my home office 2 to 3 days a week and I'm home about half the time on weekends. Talk to us we can figure out how we can help you and your pets! We love animals especially cats, love to play with them and pet them, and are very practical and responsible with the instructions in their care. We have had many cats before, usually ones that were destined to be outdoor cats. We know that cats that live primarily indoors tend to live longer. We totally understand owners wanting there has to be totally indoors.

“Briana did a great job taking care of my two kitties. She listened to my detailed instructions, took feedback, and was flexible when my trip changed. And my kitties loved her!!”

About: My journey with dogs began over 50 years ago, growing up in a home where the 'pack' was part of the family. From a young age, I was the designated caregiver for our relatives' pets, learning early on how to read canine body language and provide the unique care each dog requires. Throughout my life, I have been the 'go-to' person for friends and family, managing pups of all temperaments and sizes. While my own long-time companion has recently crossed the rainbow bridge, the Spirit of the Dog remains the heartbeat of my home. I don’t just 'watch' dogs; I welcome them into a space built on four decades of experience and genuine love. Whether your pup needs a calm environment to relax or an adventure-filled stay, I have the room, the heart, and the professional setup at The Phydeaux Spaw to ensure they are safe and cherished. I’d be honored to welcome your dog into our pack for their next stay. Pet care is not just a part of my routine; it is the center of it. As the owner of a professional bookkeeping firm and a mobile pet spa, my daily life is structured around my home base on Harper Hill. This 'work-from-home' lifestyle allows me to provide a level of consistency and supervision that a typical 9-to-5 sitter cannot. Morning & Evening Rhythms: My day begins and ends with the 'Adventure Playfield.' Every guest is integrated into a morning exercise routine and an evening wind-down that mirrors the structure of a professional facility. Mid-Day Engagement: Because I manage my bookkeeping clients from my home office, I am physically present all day. I take regular 'engagement breaks' to check on my guests, refresh water, and manage socialization in the yard. The 'Spaw' Advantage: On days when I am operating the mobile unit, the dogs in my care benefit from a high-energy, pet-centric environment. I am never more than a few steps away from the play area, and my 'Phydeaux Spaw' truck is a constant reminder of our commitment to professional-grade pet hygiene and safety. 24/7 Monitoring: Since I offer 'into the night' care and boarding, my evening routine is dedicated to ensuring every dog feels secure. My schedule is purposefully flexible to accommodate the needs of my clients—whether that’s an early drop-off or a late-night pick-up. At our Harper Hill home, safety isn't just a checklist—it’s the foundation of our environment. We’ve designed our space so that your dog is never out of sight and always under professional supervision. The 360-Degree View: Our home is uniquely positioned so that I have a clear, unobstructed line of sight to every corner of the yard from indoors. Whether your pup is napping in the sun or playing in the grass, they are under a watchful eye 100% of the time. The 'Adventure Playfield': For high-energy exercise, we utilize our expansive playfield. Here, we use long-lead techniques to allow for maximum freedom and movement while maintaining total safety. Mindful Socialization: We focus on more than just physical 'running out.' We specialize in helping dogs learn to respond without reacting. Through structured play and exercise, we help your pup build confidence and social skills in a calm, controlled atmosphere. Prepared for Every Scenario: My background with The Phydeaux Spaw mobile unit means I am inherently prepared for the unexpected. From first-aid awareness to specialized handling for dogs with ailments or anxiety, I bring a 'safety-first' professional toolkit to every boarding and daycare stay. This is a happy, balanced home where your dog’s physical safety and emotional well-being are our highest priorities.

“Katey was great with my cat Douglas Fur! He took to her right away and now they are fast friends. She was prompt, kind, attentive and easy to work with. I will definitely be using Katey to take good care of Doug in the future!”

About: NEW FOR SUMMER 2025: I am briefly opening up a couple of spots for a few new regular boarding/daycare clients. Your pup absolutely MUST get along with other dogs. I care for your dog alongside my own 3 pups in my home, not a kennel, so no barkers and only non-confrontational dogs due to open concept setting. Other arrangements can be made in advance for those who may have special needs. Background: I have owned and joyfully cared for animals all of my life and I have successfully been house/pet/farm sitting fulltime for since 2018 with dozens of great references. I have had the pleasure of caring for 1 week old bottle fed baby kittens all the way to senior large breed dogs with mobility issues on hospice. Previously I have ridden and trained jumping horses for several years and I now have a very small breeding operation at my new farm in Olalla. As a kid, I grew up working weekends on my grandpa's farm with cows, goats, sheep, and chickens. My favorite job ever was when I worked at my friend's very busy pet grooming shop. It goes without saying, I have worked with many species, and an expansive assortment of breeds, sizes, and personalities of furry friends. Animals have been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember and currently, I enjoy volunteering and fostering for animal rescue efforts in the PNW. Please do not hesitate to contact for more information and if special requests are needed for your pets. I also accept large farm animal sitting/care for an additional cost. I work remote full time so I am home with the animals for the majority of the day. I have a somewhat flexible schedule and can cater to your pets as needed. I have 2 active boxers and goofy great dane who love to play with our guests but they are also happy lounging around and napping if that's more your dog's speed. I have large fenced yard for dogs with doggy door access during the day, and I'm in the process of upgrading the perimeter fencing on my 2.4 acre property. The dogs have lots of room to play!
