“Joanna's love and compassion for animals is very evident. She welcomed my dog with open arms and a warm heart. I knew my sweet girl was being well taken care of while in Joanna's care.”

“Gary took phenomenal care of our Winston. With daily pictures and updates we were reassured he was in the right hands. We will absolutely call Gary again for future trips out of town.”

“Amanda was the best dog sitter we could have asked for. We especially appreciated the updates and pictures she sent us, which made us feel at ease and happy. She has a beautiful home with plenty of room and backyard space, and our dogs felt right at home with her:-) This is our first experience with Rover, and feel super confident that if all sitters are half as wonderful as Amanda, we’ll be using this service more often! Thanks so much for taking care of our babies while we hiked around Mt Rainier!!:-)”

“Melissa took great care of my dog!! She was able to take him at last minutes notice. My dog is a 120lb Rottweiler and Melissa was absolutely great with him! Melissa and her husband were able to pick up and drop off as well which was a huge help.”

“Danielle was great with my dog. He’s older and can be a bit extra but she was super. Send lots of pics and videos. Would definitely book with Danielle again- thank you!”

“I could not have asked for a better experience! From the beginning, she made me feel completely comfortable leaving Otis with her. She has such a warm, loving home, a big yard for him to run and play in, and a sweet little girl dog of her own to keep him company. She was incredibly communicative throughout his stay and kept me updated on how he was doing, which meant so much to me. Otis is still a puppy with LOTS of energy, and he can definitely test the limits and be a little naughty at times! 😂 She handled all of his puppy antics like an absolute pro—with patience, kindness, and a great sense of humor. Most importantly, I could tell that Otis was genuinely cared for and loved while he was there. It’s such a relief to find someone you can trust with your dog and know that he’s not just being “watched,” but is actually comfortable, happy, and treated like part of the family. I would absolutely trust her with Otis again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and capable sitter. We definitely found our Rover sitter! ❤️🐾”

“Selected Lorraine based upon her outstanding reviews. She did not disappoint. While I was getting my college freshmen settled, her fur baby, Sophie had to be left behind. Lorraine provided updates throughout the trip. Great sitter.”

“Oksana was wonderful. She kept my fur baby in her home for 4 nights and five days while we were on vacation. She made sure to update me daily with pictures, videos and letters. I will definitely be using her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life since I was a kid. I love dogs and my whole family is very dog friendly. I currently have two of my own dogs, Blizzard my 5 1/2 year old Goldendoodle and Boomer my 8 1/2 year old Beagle. These guys are my best friends! Since rescuing my Goldendoodle Blizzard, I’ve also learned to bathe & groom him, a special skill that takes practice and patience. Boarding Notes: I work from home, so I am able to take care of the dogs and be very flexible with their walking, feeding and bathroom needs. At my house, dogs are welcome on the furniture and on the bed at night but I will respect other owners obedience/rules while caring for their dogs. We have a lot of the room in the house which even has a fun room with toy mountain, a collection of hundreds of dog toys that everyone is welcome to play with! I have a big backyard but it is not fenced in. Instead, I prefer to walk the dogs on leashes/leads or attach them to the dog-run line I have running across the backyard for playtime! House Sitting Notes: I am more than happy to pack up and come stay at your home to watch your dog(s)! My only condition is that I would need to bring my two dogs with me for the house sitting stay. If this is something you would not allow, I will not be able to house sit for you. If you are open to this, we can discuss more about rules/regulations if I were to house sit for you to make sure you are fully comfortable with me and my two dogs staying in your home once you submit the request! Drop In Notes: I am happy to do drop in's to care for your dogs, instead of boarding them at my house. For drop in's, I would stop by 1 or 2 times each day for a length of time you request to play and care for your dogs. I would not stay overnight. I do this for families that would prefer their dogs stay in their own environment and not get boarded. You should only book this if your dog(s) can go 12 hours or more without a bathroom break. If your dog(s) cannot do that, I would strongly encourage you to board your dogs with me or request I house sit - either way I would make sure they are very comfortable and safe. I would love the opportunity to watch your dog(s) and can be flexible with short-term or long-term boarding, drop ins, house sitting - plus other accommodations. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own and give them a lot of love and care for their entire stay! My services are worth the investment so you have peace of mind! If you are interested in my services, put a request in so we can plan everything out. I work from home, therefore I can accommodate many different types of schedules based on a dogs needs. Frequent walks, feeding or medication is no challenge throughout each day/night. Any dog who comes to stay with us will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. Same goes if I am to come care for your dogs at your home. They will get plenty of love and attention with play-time and companionship!

“Haven and her family were wonderful! They were so friendly and welcoming when we dropped our dog off and she sent great updates throughout our trip. Her dog was so friendly and sweet also. We will definitely book with Haven again.”

About: I’m a professional dog trainer with years of veterinary medicine experience and a bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, ages, temperaments, and behavioral needs. Caring for animals is already a major part of my everyday life, so adding another dog to my routine fits naturally into my schedule. I live on a farm and care for multiple animals daily, including dogs, horses, poultry, and other farm animals. My days are already structured around feeding, watering, exercise, cleaning, training, enrichment, medication when needed, and monitoring the health and behavior of the animals in my care. As a professional dog trainer, I also understand that dogs need more than food and potty breaks. Dogs staying with me receive plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, enrichment, rest, and individual attention based on their age, personality, energy level, and normal routine. I am accustomed to planning my schedule around animals and making sure their needs are consistently met throughout the day. Safety is one of my highest priorities when caring for someone else’s dog. I am a professional dog trainer with years of veterinary medicine experience and a bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior. This background allows me to recognize changes in behavior, body language, stress levels, and physical condition that might otherwise be overlooked. Dogs in my care are supervised and managed according to their individual temperament, training, and needs. I do not assume that every dog should interact with every other animal simply because they are staying in the same home. Dogs can be safely separated, crated, rotated, or given individual play and exercise time when appropriate. Because I live on a farm, I take additional precautions when dogs are outside. Every boarding dog wears a GPS tracking collar whenever they are outside of their secure kennel area, providing an additional layer of safety and security. Dogs are never given unnecessary freedom simply because they are staying in a rural environment. My goal is to provide a structured, safe, and enjoyable environment where owners can feel confident that their dog is receiving knowledgeable, individualized care while they are away.

“Zach and family took such great care of Luna and I felt comfortable while traveling knowing she was in good hands! They were great about sending pics and videos as well as being flexible around dropoff and pickup. Thanks again and we will be seeing you all again soon!”
