Dog Sitting Olympia

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.

“Lisa definitely lived up to the other glowing reviews. She visited our house daily to feed, water and take care of the litter box for our two cats. She is reliable and even made friends with our often-shy Siamese kitty. We appreciated the daily pictures and reports cards while we were away on our week-long trip. We would highly recommend Lisa for your away pet-sitting needs! Hopefully she will still be providing here excellent services the next time we take a trip to visit family.”

“Ellen was a wonderful cat sitter and truly cared about the needs of my three cats! She was very prompt and responsive and went above and beyond what was expected. I would definitely recommend Ellen and would definitely hire her again!”

About: I love dogs! I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 and have rescued two dogs in the past. I currently have one dog (Jasper) who is a senior dog. I often help friends and family with their pet needs and am extending my network here on Rover. As a parent to a preschooler, my days are structured, predictable and full of energy! Pets fit naturally into our household rhythm, ensuring they get plenty of attention, exercise, and quiet rest. I am very caring and attentive to dogs needs including meals, play time, potty breaks and socialization. Also, I make sure that I clean up after them if need be. I currently have a senior dog who spends more of his day sleeping and a 3,5 years old boy who loves animals, especially dogs.

“She was amazing! She was able to come watch our dog last minute, sent great pictures and updates! Will be using her again!”

About: I’ve helped raised 10 dogs: 2 samoyds, 2 golden retrievers, 2 labs, a border collie, a Dobermann, a Bernese mountain dog, and a chihuahua. I also was a door to door and pizza delivery man who Interacted with every type of dog as a stranger entering their territory. I’ve been in multiple threatening positions and have a lot of confidence from that. I can read demeanor very well. My most recent partner and I ended things and she took the dogs. Sad country song in the making lol. I find this therapeutic and isn’t just a side hustle. I genuinely love all dogs and it helps me just as much as helping you. I work from home as an insurance broker. I will shape my schedule around the dogs. I can also work anywhere so it allows me to travel to you as well. I have a fenced back yard with locks on the gate. My office is in the back yard with a big window for me to see them. I am an active dog watcher who goes with the flow of what the owner requests. I do not like leaving them alone ever. If I come to your house I will not have any guests over and I always give active updates.

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats in my life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’m an avid hiker and have been lucky to share many trails with amazing “trail dogs” over the years. I’ve also pet sat for coworkers, doing drop-ins multiple times a day, and I’m currently providing overnight care for a puppy—something I truly enjoy. Over time, I realized this is something I’d love to do more of. When I say “us,” I mean my little household too: I have a mixed-breed dog and a cat. My cat is gentle and friendly and gets along well with dogs. My dog, Ziggy, is my first male and a rescue from the pound. He’s been a challenge at times, but with patience, consistency, and lots of love, he’s made wonderful progress—and continues to do so. Because of that experience, I have a special place in my heart for shelter dogs and pets who may need a little extra patience, care, and understanding. I’d love the opportunity to offer that same compassion and support to your pets, helping them feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but I happily offer drop-ins and overnight care on weekends and holidays. If there would be a special need, we most likely could work this out. I care for pets based on their normal routine and your preferences. Whether in your home or during overnights, I focus on feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship, along with any special instructions you provide. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and happy while maintaining the routine they’re used to.

“Jackie did a great job taking care of our 2 cats. They are often shy with strangers but were comfortable with Jackie right away. We also appreciated the photos she sent us every day. We think Jackie is a great cat-sitter!”

About: We have had dogs most of our lives - many different breeds. We currently have a four year old high-energy German Shorthaired Pointer. I love to care for dogs, and love to have a four legged friend that loves to go on walks with me. We also have three indoor cats. Cats are grreat companions. I love curling up on the couch with my cats. We are looking for overnight Rover positions in the West Valley area. I will only take a Rover position for a non smoking home. I telework and love to have animals close by throughout the day. I love to break up my mornings with an outside walk followed by an afternoon evening walk. My husband and I will do overnight sits together. Keeping pets safe is of the utmost importance. Pets are stressed when you are away - that is why it is nice to be able to provide care in your pet’s home and keep them in their comfortable surroundings. We love on our pets throughout the day and keep close eyes on our own pets at home and will do the same for your pets as well.

About: Of my 10 years of pet care experience, 8 of those years includes veterinary medicine. I love all different kinds of animals, and am good with all types of personalities, fear levels, and temperaments. I can also administer medications and care for pets with special needs. My other work is freelance, so my schedule is usually open and flexible. Overnight stays are easy for me to configure, and I'm able to prioritize your pets in my schedule. My main priority is the pets safety and happiness. I have experience de-escalating anxiety, redirecting aggression, and navigating tension between pets. I always double leash dogs for walks and I am experienced with all varieties of leash, walk, and play based behavior.

About: I’ve taken care of cats, I have 2 cats as well! While I was in college my roommates had dogs that I would watch when they would leave or couldn’t come home in time. I’m good with both both cats and dogs. Im currently working part time, I don’t think pet sitting is a job it’s so fun to do so I would love it as a side job. I’m also getting my masters in biomedical sciences right now My pets have access to every inch of the house and are well cared for, toys, scratch post and many treats! I love playing with them, taking them outside, feeding and can also clean litter boxes

I know how important routine, comfort, and fun are for a happy pup! I have a fully fenced backyard and live right close to the Chehalis Trail, perfect for walks. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I’m in-between jobs so I’m home full-time and spend my days with my own mini dachshund, Charlie, so caring for dogs fits easily into my routine.

I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your dog the attention, care, and comfort they need throughout the day. For walks and drop-ins, I’ll stick to whatever routine your dog is used to.
