“Stephanie rocks!! She has watched our cats twice now and each time we returned home they were happy and playful. Stephanie clearly takes good care of them and gives them attention and play time. She does the dirty work too, cleaning the litter and changing the pee pads. She's also a really cool person and super friendly!”


About: I have always been a lover of animals. I grew up and worked on a ranch my whole life. We raised chickens, cows, horses, goats, etc. I have also cared for dogs and cats in the house. I am both capable and passionate about provide care for your pets with respect and tailoring the care to their needs. My schedule is usually open and flexible! I’m available both weed days and weekends. I am always willing to work with people according to their schedules. I have a fenced in yard for play time and a decent sized home. I also have reliable transportation to stop by your home at any time upon your request to care for your babies in the comfort of their own home.

“Lauren is a fantastic pet sitter. She was great with our elderly cat (Stan loved her!), gave through updates and was patient with us as we can be worrisome pet parents when it comes to our old man Stan. Already hoping to work with Lauren for our future needs.”


“Grace has been excellent with my dog. He is larger and can be reactive to other animals so has been intimidating in the past for sitters. Grace took the time to meet him and learn his needs and has been awesome in caring for him. Would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”


“Nora and my kitty Lainey seemed to get along just great. The pictures posted were of a contented cat and I had no reason to doubt that Nora was not fulfilling her duties of a top-notch pet sitter. Nora is a capable and reliable choice for drop-in pet visits.”


About: I grew up with both dogs and cats on a farm, so I have lots of experience with animals of varying ages and needs. I am consistent with medications and have experience caring for senior or ailing animals. I have a pretty free schedule save for Mondays and Tuesdays, in which I will be in Puyallup for a job! I work an on-call job Wednesday-Saturday but at this moment I am not very busy. I am always free in the evenings and early mornings. I do not offer at-home services due to owning an elderly cat, however I have experience with house sitting for families with dogs and/or cats. I will give your pet all the love and attention they wish for, but I also know when to give them space. I am also used to working with high-maintenance pets. I know all the good spots for a walk and my car is large enough to fit most animals, so I can take them for vet visits or to a park.

About: I’ve taken care of my friend’s pets for a bit now. I love taking them on walks, give them food, play with them and give them lots of love and attention. I had some experience with puppies and older dogs. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I'm currently working part-time as a caregiver for my father, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule. I’m confident I can easily accommodate your pet’s needs and routines, whether that’s daily walks, feedings, or any special care required. While I’m currently unable to host pets in my own home, I take great care in ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m happy to meet with you beforehand so you can get to know me and feel confident about entrusting me with your pet—especially for overnight stays or extended care. I treat every pet like family, following their routine closely and always prioritizing their well-being.

About: Throughout my life, I have been very fortunate to grow up with animals. I currently have two boy cats that are a year old. They are my partners in crime. When I had a dog I spent time taking him to agility courses and dog parks. With my passion for animals, I have had the opportunity to watch other pets as well. I have sat for cats as well as dogs. In these past situations, I made sure to ask what the animal's needs are. When watching one of my client's dogs who has special needs. She had disabled back legs and needed extra assistants while watching her, such as walking slow and caring her up and downstairs. Even with her disability, she is full of love! :) Every animal has its own personality just like people. I can't wait to meet your pet and spread the love with them! Thank you! I am currently unemployed because I just graduated college. I am looking for a job but while I wait I would love to have more animals in my life! I have house and animal sat for many years. I am a great listener and great at asking questions making sure everyone involved is happy and comfortable with me in their home with their animals. I am used to adapting to new rules and homes.

About: I have taken care of all types of dogs since I could remember! I’ve never known life without a furry companion by my side and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am a nurse by day trying to cure my burnout by caring for your furry friends! I am an excellent communicator and I will keep you informed every step of the day. I just moved to the area with my two Australian Shepards and a cat. My schedule is completely open right now and I’d love to take your furry friend on an adventure while we explore our new neighborhood! I have a fenced in backyard that backs up to nature trails. We have pet cameras so we can always keep a watchful eye on the animals and we love walking around and exploring new areas! I can really provide whatever environment your dog/cat will do best in!

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! I love pets and if I could I would adopt all the dogs! Bringing animals joy brings me joy! I’m currently working a full time job, I’m off Mondays and Tuesdays. And wanting to walk your dog any day of the week, or stop in visits on my days off! I have one lovely sweet boy dog, black lab! I’m looking forward to walks alone or with my puppy! He’s very friendly and always looking for new friends to play with!

About: With over 30 years of experience as a pet owner of both cats and dogs, I’ve naturally transitioned into pet sitting and house sitting for others—starting with friends and family, and growing through word of mouth to care for pets of friends of friends. I’m a lifelong animal lover who takes pride in providing loving, reliable care for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s a short visit or a long-term stay, I follow instructions carefully, maintain a clean and tidy environment, and prioritize clear, consistent communication with pet owners for total peace of mind. I currently work weekends only 12-8pm in Olympia so I am free around those hours and all week long! I am available for drop ins as well as overnight stays. I take great pride in caring for my 11-year-old rescue cat in my apartment, creating a calm and nurturing environment tailored to her needs. From maintaining a clean, cozy space to providing regular meals, playtime, and gentle affection, I ensure she feels secure and loved every day. This same level of attentiveness and compassion extends to the pets I care for in other people’s homes. I prioritize each animal’s comfort and routine, while respecting the owner's space and preferences, fostering a sense of safety and trust. Whether it's feeding, administering medication, or offering companionship, I approach every pet with patience, reliability, and genuine care.

About: New to Rover but, with over a decade of experience as a trusted dog sitter, I have had the privilege of caring for countless furry companions, including those belonging to neighbors, friends, and coworkers. From goofy poodles (like my own) to energetic vizsla's, I've had the pleasure of nurturing a diverse range of breeds and personalities. My commitment to building strong relationships with both pets and their owners has led to countless referrals and repeat clients, solidifying my reputation as a go-to sitter in the area. I prioritize safety, exercise, and lots of cuddles!! I have a work schedule that gives me flexibility Thursdays and Fridays so I’m able to provide services for up to 4 days at a time :) I don’t have a pet friendly rental home so I prefer to care for pets at the clients home. This is what I’ve normally done for friends and family over the years. Plus pets seem more comfy in their own homes!
