“My dog isn’t the easiest to get out the first try because he is so scared with new people. Daniel got him out and stuck with it which I’m so thankful! I’ll continue to ask for his help when I need it.”
“My dog liked her very much, because she was so attentive to her. She not only walked her but she watched her. She tried to figure out how best to relate to her. I was very impressed. Kayla was dependable, punctual, and enthusiastic. I highly recommend her.”
“Vicki was great with my very shy dog. She came for a meet and greet to make sure my dog would recognize her. She was communicative and punctual, and I appreciated the picture she included. I highly recommend her and plan on using her again!”
“Felicia has been walking my dog Stanley for a roughly two months now. I have zero complaints, she always provides pictures and potty break updates. I don’t have her watching my cat but she gives me updates on him as well when she sees him which is greatly appreciated. I can’t say how much having her walk Stanley has helped me too, if you are debating getting a dog walker I would definitely recommend Felicia.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kristen was amazing with Sterling! She was kind, communicative, and totally in tune with his quirks. I loved getting photo updates, and it was clear she treated him like her own. He came back happy and relaxed. I’d book her again in a heartbeat!”
About: Hi there! I’m a proud U.S. Navy veteran with 7 years of service. I’m now a full-time nursing student with a flexible schedule—perfect for meeting your pet’s needs, whether it’s a walk, playtime, or some extra TLC. I absolutely love animals and have lots of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. While dogs are my specialty, I’m excited and open to learning more about other animals too! I’m dependable, caring, and treat every pet like they’re part of the family. Give me a chance—you won’t regret it! 🐾 As a full-time nursing student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I attend in-person classes only on Wednesday 4-9pm and Thursdays from 6–9 PM, so I’m available most mornings, afternoons, and even weekends to care for your pet. I will make sure that the items at the place of care are guarded. Weather it be taking down vases and pots or securing your floor with training pads. Just let me know of any specific requests you may have and I’m on it.
“Bryce took great care of my dog and went above and beyond to ensure all of my dog’s needs were met. Communicating with Bryce was very easy and he gave me updates to assure me that my dog was in good hands.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets and have always been the go to sitter for friends and family. I may not have formal experience yet, but I’m reliable, compassionate, and I truly enjoy caring for animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs and personality so they feel safe and loved. I am most experienced with dogs! I’m currently working full time so I’m available Wednesday through Friday every week, and every other Saturday. I work Sunday through Tuesday and every other Saturday so I’m unavailable on those days. I’m happy to offer morning, afternoon, or evening visits on the days I’m off and can be flexible with advance notice! I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment for pets in my care. I live in a small apartment and have a friendly small dog who gets along well with other pups. Because of my space and my current pet, I’m best suited for small sized dogs and even medium sized dogs who are comfortable in a smaller setting and around other dogs. I’m not able to accommodate larger dogs in my home at this time. I always supervise interactions to ensure everyone stays safe and happy. Pets in my care get plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I treat every pet like family and do my best to follow their routine to help them feel at home.
“Alan was very receptive to all of our concerns with walking Archer. I think he did a great job with making us feel comfortable as pet parents and also giving Archer a great workout!”
About: I have 20+ years of pet care experience from working at a Veterinary Clinic as a kennel attendant to becoming a dog and cat groomer for nearly 8 years. I have pet sat, house sat, fostered, been a dog walker, administered insulin, and made grooming house calls. I currently work full time as a Life Enrichment Director at a senior living community. My job provides me with great fulfillment and purpose but I have always had a passion for taking care of animals. I do have a lot of flexibility with my work and because I create my own schedule, I am able to accommodate your needs to the best of my ability. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust and rely on and I appreciate the opportunity to build that relationship with you. I have a very sweet, loving husky who is great with pets, people, and is extremely playful and submissive. I also have two cats in my household as well. I live in an apartment building where a large fenced dog park is right out my front door and an extra furnished (unoccupied) bedroom can be used to keep your furry friend cozy. As far as your own home, I would be extremely respectful, clean, quiet, and only do what is asked of me. I have my own life, which I love, so would never hang around, unless that is something you need or wanted.
“Mel is great! She went out of her way to meet with us within hours of reaching out and walked our dog the next day. She goes above and beyond. Has great attention to detail”

Emily B.
“I can’t recommend [Your Wife’s Name] highly enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely loving pet sitter. She has a natural way with animals—patient, attentive, and incredibly gentle. Whether it’s sticking to a strict feeding schedule, giving medications, or just making sure pets feel safe and happy in their own space, she always goes above and beyond. What truly sets her apart is the care she takes in treating every pet like her own. She’s the kind of person who notices if something’s even slightly off with an animal and will act quickly and thoughtfully. I’ve seen her calmly handle emergencies, joyfully play with high-energy pups, and patiently comfort nervous or senior pets. If you want someone who will show up on time, follow your instructions to the letter, and treat your pets with love and respect, you can’t do better than her. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in the best possible hands.”

She cares for my dog as much as I imagine she would care for her own pets, something that I think is rare in a pet sitter!

Liam M.
“I’ve known Liam for over ten years, and in that time, he’s proven himself to be one of the most reliable and caring people I know. Whenever my family goes out of town, Liam is the only person we trust to care for our two dogs and our tortoise. A few months ago, one of our dogs wasn’t feeling well while we were away. Liam noticed the change in behavior immediately, called us, and even took her to the vet with our permission. He kept us updated every step of the way. That level of responsibility and compassion is rare. Liam treats every pet like it’s his own, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”

She has proven me right with the love and care she shows toward her puppy Luca.

She's truly a natural with dogs, and her love for them really shows!”
Optimist Park Nw dog parents share their Rover experiences
Alexandria truly came through for me in a pinch, stepping up last minute with professionalism, grace, and genuine care. From the moment she arrived on time and asked all the right questions, I knew my dog was in good hands. Most importantly, my dog immediately connected with her — something you just can’t fake — and that trust put me at ease right away. Though she had a full plate, she even rearranged her schedule and enlisted her boyfriend to assist with walks, simply to help me out. She’s not only reliable and respectful of instructions, but she’s also someone who leads with heart — and both my dog and I felt that from day one.
Felicia is wonderful! She takes such good care of my big dog while I’m at work and always makes sure he’s happy and safe. She’s so sweet, attentive, and completely trustworthy. She also has a great way with dogs that can be a little challenging. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like her own.
Brian has been wonderful with Frankie. She has enjoyed every minute of her weekly walks with him. She has had great fun showing him her neighborhood and her many "tricks". However, the time has come for her to say "goodbye", as she has completed her time. I highly recommend Brian to all. Your pets will love him. Diane
