“Erin was an amazing sitter!! She took such good care of our kitties while we were out of town, and our shy guy came down to hang out with her (usually he hides if we aren't home). We would highly recommend Erin for anyone looking for someone to take great care of their fur babies while they're away. Thanks so much, Erin!”

“Angela was amazing with my cat Miso! She was super communicative, and really went above and beyond providing him with love while we were away. I’ll absolutely be booking her in the future! Thanks Angela!”

“Teddy let me know when he arrived, sent photos, and spent time playing with my dogs after their dinner. Dogs were happy and the house was perfect when I got home. Highly recommend!”

“Maria has watched my 2 dogs & cat a couple times now. She responds to communication quickly & came for a meet n greet beforehand. She was able to play with our rambunctious boxer as well as take our 16yo tiny chihuahua on a slow & steady walk. She sent pictures of all animals each day showing they were each healthy & happy.”

“Roman was fantastic with our pug Boyd while we needed a little extra help during the day to get him out and fed. It was very clear all of our instructions were followed, Boyd got lots of attention and love, and we didn't even have to think twice about whether he was situated at home! Thanks Roman!”

“Julia is amazing! She has been dropping in to check on my senior cat. She always takes great care of my cat and also goes above & beyond to help with extra favors that I ask of her. I highly recommend Julia to anyone who needs help with their furry friends!”

“Amanda is extremely conscientious and responsible; she took great care of our cat and our home. She is an excellent and clear communicator and regularly sent us photos and videos. She even brushed our cat which is next level for this picky feline- it showed us that our cat liked and trusted Amanda. We will book her again. Thanks Amanda!”

About: I have taken care of my own pets for my entire life, especially my current cat Duckie whom I have raised since a baby. I love being silly with animals and building bonds and trust with them :) I work weird days, so my schedule varies. Typically during the week I am available early mornings (5:30am-7am), and evenings (after 6:30pm). During the weekend, I will be sure to be available throughout the day :) Before my dog passed away, I tok care of his needs including bathroom, walking, nutrition, vet visits, and baths! My cat is easier in terms of grooming, but I am fully responsible for her as well. Additional responsibilities include spending too much money on snacks and new toys for her, haha ! :)
“Olena was great with our cats! We reached out to her very last minute, but she responded quickly and made herself available for a Meet and Greet before we had to leave on our trip. She took lots of pictures of our cats and was responsive to all of my messages while we were traveling. I felt very comfortable that our cats were well taken care of while we were gone ☺️”


About: I grew up around dogs! Experience in very attentive care with sick dogs to newborn puppies that just needs some extra eyes. I have a 10 year old corgi as well as a 15 year old Italian Grey Hound. Happy to help give to the ease and care for your animal I currently work remote, I’m usually an early riser and love to get outside with the animals for a morning walk and multiple throughout the day. When staying in someone’s home I like to make sure the animals is comfortable around me and know that they are safe in their space

About: An animal lover for as long as I can remember, I have years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, from dogs and cats to rodents, birds and more! I use my body of research-backed knowledge about animals' needs as a guide for all my interactions and care protocols, in order to ensure the best safety and welfare for the animals as possible, at all times. You can trust I will keep your furry family members happy and healthy! My schedule is extremely open-ended at the moment and I have plenty of availability for walks and visits, including last-minute bookings. Don't hesitate to contact me! I'm happy to care for your pets in their own, familiar environments. In my experience, pets being able to stay in their own homes while their people are away is ideal for maintaining their comfort and feeling of safety, especially when introducing an unfamiliar human into the mix. This is especially true for animals that tend to be anxious. I will always be respectful about entering and being in your home, and diligent in making sure it stays clean and secure.
About: I’ve sat through Rover for about 3 years now and I have a consistent schedule with a few families but am always open to expanding that. I love going on walks and staying active. Some of my favorite walks include Greenlake, discovery park, volunteer park, and the lake union lap. I’m good at taking direction, so if your dog needs any specific help/attention please don’t hesitate to let me know. I work from home so I have the freedom to take breaks. I live in Kirkland which has a ton of great walking paths and places to explore. I realize there’s a lot of trust when leaving a member of your family with someone so I’d want to do everything to make you feel comfortable (for example sending lot of pictures while you’re away). I don’t currently have any other pets or animals living at my house.
About: My entire life I've been surrounded by dogs and cats, and whether its been my parents, grandparents, or parents friend's, I have been trusted to ensure that they are okay whilst their owners are out of the house! I’m currently a UW student, living on campus in Seattle for the time being. I am unemployed and my class schedule varies, but I always have lots of free time and can make any schedule work!! I love playing with animals and taking them for walks, along with giving them any special care they need!! At home I have two cats that can get a little rowdy, so cleaning up any of their accidental messes is no big deal to me.

“Susy was so easy to work with and took great care of my cats! I felt very comfortable leaving them on a weekend away. My place was clean and the cats were quite happy when I returned! I would absolutely work with Susy again.”

“Isabella is the best, I highly recommend her. She is super easy to communicate with, and I could tell right away our cats were in good hands when we met as she is both relaxed and attentive. She managed to wrangle our indoor/outdoor crew like a pro while we were away, making sure everyone was accounted for and cared for. That is no small feat with our bunch. She’s responsible, kind, and genuinely trustworthy, and it showed in the way she took care of the kitties and our house. We will definitely book her again.”


About: I've been caring for cats of all sizes and temperaments. Friends, neighbors and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide loving companionship for their pets. I'm attentive to routines, comfortable administering basic medications, and patient with dogs and cats. I believe every animal deserves gentle, consistent and compassionate care. I maintain a flexible and reliable schedule and plan my days carefully to ensure pets receive consistent attention. I'm available for weekday and weekend bookings, including drop-ins, walks, and boarding. I prioritize quality time, exercise, and structured routines so your pet feels safe, and cared for while you're away. Your pets' safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendlt environment and closely follow your instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and hosue rules. I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. Whether in my home or yours, I create a secure, loving environment where pets feel relaxed and cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young. My youngest memories include our family Labs who were sweet silly, treat-loving dogs. Almost fifteen years ago, my family adopted Clover, a Schnauzer poodle who loves to sit outside and bask in the sun. Recently, my family adopted Theo, a chocolate Lab who is a silly boy who loves playing with squeaky toys and running outside. I enjoy playing with dogs, taking them on walks, or simply relaxing by their side. Throughout my childhood, I would often cat and dog sit for my neighbors, making sure each pet gets the care and attention they deserve. I love spending time with animals, and appreciate that each pet has their own personality and boundaries. I have some training skills, and have taken care of senior pets as well. I’ve watched over more reactive dogs, but prefer interacting with dogs that are calmer and approachable. I’m currently working remotely part-time so I have flexibility in my schedule and would love to care for your furry friend. I can accommodate for most days, with some limitations Monday and Wednesday evenings. Let’s chat more about your needs and see what we can schedule. While caring for pets, I try to keep their routine consistent and follow all instructions you provide to ensure that pets stay safe and happy. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and movement based on their needs and personality. I also keep the home tidy and clean. Communication is important to me, so I’m happy to send updates on how things are going. My ultimate goal is to make sure both the pet and owner feel comfortable and confident in my care.
Portage Bay pet parents share their Rover experiences
Chris was so amazing with our 6 month old kitten! Being our first time using Rover, we were nervous and unsure about what to expect but Chris was wonderful and made the process stress-free. He sent us many pictures everyday which we so appreciated and even spent extra time with our kitten when he could. We will absolutely be re-booking on our next trip :) Highly recommend Chris!!!

Kesnya was kind and professional. We booked with her to vet someone that would be able to handle a somewhat complex feeding and medication schedule. Kesnya was studuios and curious and about our cats' schedules, preferences and personalities. We will be booking her in the future for our sitting needs. I highly recommend her for your needs as well.

Kimberly was great with my two cats! They warmed up to her gentle disposition quickly which was so comforting. Cats know a safe cat person when they meet one! She leaves thorough reports from visits and even sent more photos when I asked. 10/10 would hire again.

Noie is amazing as always! She goes above and beyond with her level of car, unfortunately she's had to deal with upset tummy issues and another illness with our cat in seperate stays, and its so clear she provides the utmost care to our cat. We appreciate her and can't recommend Noie enough!

I had a great experience with Cassandra and would definitely recommend her. It was my first time leaving my cat alone at home while on vacation, so I was a bit anxious. However, Cassandra made the process much easier by sending daily updates and photos at the same time every day, which gave me peace of mind and something to look forward to. It was clear my cat was well cared for and comfortable, and the consistency and reliability really stood out. Knowing my cat was in good hands made the whole trip far less stressful, and I would absolutely trust Cassandra again.
