“Genna did an excellent job with Bo. Excellent communication and took good care of my puppy. She contacted me when something was off one day which I appreciated. Will definitely utilize her again”
“Erin took care of our lab, Tucker for 10 days. She was so good with him. He takes medication twice a day at certain times and she was always here to give him his meds. We had Erin stop 4 times a day. She always played with Tucker and/or took him for a walk! Everyday we received a picture and she never hesitated to reach out if she had a question or concern. We were lucky to have Erin and will definitely use her again to watch Tucker!”


About: I grew up in a family of animal lovers—cats, dogs, birds, even pet cows, turtles, chickens, hermit crabs, and more! Pets have always been family to us, and they were deeply loved and cared for. I’ve been caring for animals my whole life and still do occasional pet sitting. Now, I’m excited to offer my care through Rover! I’ll go any length to keep your pets happy—whether that means giving baths, going on long walks, or showering them with love and plenty of pets. I’d love to treat your pets like the family they are—because they deserve the very best. I’m a part-time college student who also works and babysits, so pet sitting is the perfect flexible gig for me! My schedule changes week to week, but I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening visits most days, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. I can do drop-ins, walks, feedings, baths, playtime, and give your pets all the love and attention they deserve. Weekends and some overnights are also available with notice—just reach out, and I’ll do my best to fit your needs! When caring for your pet, I’ll treat them like one of my own—with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. I’ll stick to their routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding at specific times, going for walks, cleaning up after them, or just giving them extra cuddles and playtime. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to give your pet not just care, but genuine companionship and kindness every visit.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid and have recently started to work with cats. I miss walking my dogs from home and would love to help take care of yours I’m currently a student, so although I have many classes during weekdays I have breaks in between as well as Friday through Sundays free. I always make time for my own walks and workouts but I’d love to do it with an animal! My medium sized dog uses a harness on his walks, but I have worked with all kinds of leashes before. We had our yard fenced in for play time but I have worked with dogs in parks and ungated areas.
“Dana did and excellent job doing drop in visits for our two cats. We’ve booked her twice for our cats and have been happy both times. Shes punctual, sends pictures/updates, and everything was clean and well taken care of when we came home. We will definitely continue to use her to care for our cats in the future.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for 24 years I used to live on a farm and still to this day I watch animals any kind I love working with them and every time I see an animal on the street I always help them Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I enjoy spending time with animals. I make time each day for feeding, walking, play, and check-ins, while keeping a consistent schedule so pets feel safe and comfortable. On a weekly basis, I also handle tasks like grooming, cleaning up after pets, and giving them extra attention to make sure they’re happy and healthy.” In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and follow their normal routines. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions to keep pets on their usual schedule. This can include feeding, walking, litter box cleaning, administering medication if needed, and giving plenty of love and companionship so pets feel secure even while their owners are away.”

About: Hi! I’ve always loved being around animals. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pup has different needs and will be diligent in ensuring those needs are met. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, and excited for our time together. I’ll always keep you updated so you have peace of mind! I am currently a stay at home mom and have availability throughout the day along with the needed childcare as jobs arise. I am free during the day for walks or check-ins while you are at work! I am a caring and patient person who loves all animals. My goal is to make every animal feel safe and cared for when in my care!
“Ashley did an excellent job watching my dog. She sent me pictures and updates just so I would know he was being taken care of. She even had frozen carrot treats for him. I definitely recommend her and will use her servives again.”

About: I’ve caring for all sorts of animals since I was a little girl. I grew up caring for rabbits, gerbils, birds, lizards, cats and dogs. My family friend had a pitbull dog sanctuary, saving so many dogs from euthanasia. Growing up in an environment where every animal life is important, gives me the insane amount of love I have for all animals. I have volunteer experience at the Whatcom Humane Society located the Seattle area. I also have taken care of many different breeds of cats and dogs, knowing each has particularly personalities and require different things. I have had very timid and social cats, as well as seriously hyper or very mellow dogs. Exercise is really important to me when it comes to animals that need it. I can and will do everything I can to make sure your pet gets the exercise it wants and needs, as well as playing and getting the love and nurture all animals deserve regardless of look and size. Our fur babies are more than pets, they are family! I work from 4am - 9am everyday except Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am also a student, so it depends on who books first and what times they have booked for the day. My two cats thankfully get along well now, but for about 7 months I had to keep them separate and stayed committed to a slow introduction for safety and for the best possibility for bonding. I have patience and I can and will take all safety precautions necessary (as instructed).
“Juliet was absolutely WONDERFUL with my dog, Lucy! She took such great care of her, including administering medication carefully and responsibly, which gave me real peace of mind. Juliet also kept me updated with frequent messages and photos, so I always knew Lucy was happy and in good hands. She truly went above and beyond, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”

About: Hi! My name is Amanda. I have worked in doggie daycare, worked as a bather and in the sales department! At work I got to experience different breeds, temperaments and personalities! My favorite part of my job is building strong relationships with the owners and their dogs! I also have experience dropping in homes while their owners are at work, school or out of town. When I do drop ins I have taken them on walks, picked up after them and fed them. I absolutely love working with all animals! I am known to have great communication skills, I am compassionate , and I am responsible. I pride myself in those traits and look forward to building a relationship with you and your family member! I do have a full time job working with adults with intellectual disabilities. Mon-Fri I do work from 730am-4pm. I am still available during the weekends and can also do house sitting during the days that I work! I will follow their daily routine and make them as comfortable as possible while you are away. While walking them I will keep distance from other animals to ensure their safety. I will also follow all dietary needs and feeding schedules.
About: I have experience house/dog sitting. In the past year, I've watched and taken care of three large dogs, a Boxer, and two Labradors, many times. For about two weeks or more depending on the owner's schedule. The boxer has some health issues so I also have some experience with giving medication. I've taken care of two Great Danes who I would classify as loving adorable couch potatoes. I also own two small dogs. My first dog was a Maltese she lived till she was ten but the last year of her life she also had some health issues. I currently have a dog who is also a Maltese Bichon Frise mix who just turned eleven. He is energetic so I'm a very active person and can keep up with your pups too. I understand the importance of giving your pup all the love and attention they need to have a happy life. I will do my very best to provide that for your animals too! I work full time at a car dealership up in the office. I am in the office by 7:00 am and I am typically off by 3:00 pm. I can do late in the evening walks or around when I get off. For drop ins\check ins I could come early in the morning for one and later in the evening for the other on a weekday. As long as it isn't end of month or mid month Fridays I can be off by 1pm. Weekend I am off so I'm more fixable with what I can fit in. I offer drop-in visits and dog walks. During visits, I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and any routine care requested by the owner. During walks, I ensure pets get safe exercise and attention while following their normal routine. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication with pet owners.
About: Hi! 😊 I’ve had different pets throughout my life and have pet sat both dogs and cats, and even rodents. I volunteered at a dog shelter, which gave me precious experience and taught me patience. I love animals and enjoy spending time with them, unfortunately, I cannot afford having pets now, so I’ll be happy to take care of yours 🐕🐈⬛🐁 Looking forward to meet you and your little (or big 😄) buddies! I’m pretty flexible, since I’m working from home, so I’ll be able and glad to spend time with your dogs, cats, ginny pigs, hamsters, rabbits and other cutie pies 😚 I always do my best to make sure your animals are comfortable and have minimal stress while you are away from them. I pay attention to the owners' care instructions. You’ll get pictures of your pets, so you can see your sweeties wherever you are! 😊

About: Going out of town? Want to leave your pet in the comfort of their home rather than boarding them somewhere that stresses them out? Want to leave them with someone who will give them tons of TLC? Then I'm your gal! I have been petsitting for over 20 years, and I've had my own business for 15 years (Happy Tails). I have a lot of energy myself, but am also content to sit around and cuddle, so any energy dog is fine with me! I've taken care of dogs with health needs, administered many medications including insulin shots, liquids and pills, and worked with deaf and blind animals. I have owned and fostered/rescued many animals and many breeds in my lifetime. Please contact me if you're interested, and feel free to check out my Facebook page for reviews (Happy Tails QC). Thank you! As this is my full-time job, I have a lot of time daily to care for your furbabies, & I'm available 365 days a year! I care for pets in the owners home. I come by three times a day for 20-30 minutes each time. I can also do walks!

Moriah is caring, communicative, and dependable . She sends updates via text, sends the cutest pictures, and I live her video snippets. Being away for 12 hour shifts can be stressful and worrisome. Knowing Moriah is there to care for my boy helps alleviate that. I trust that he is in safe, capable hands. Thank you, Moriah for being there for Hershel.

Aidan has been great to work with so far! He is helping us as a drop-in sitter on days I have to be in the office and our pup, Bonnie, has had so much fun with him. Quick to respond, great availability, and very understanding of my pup’s quirks as she’s still got a lot of puppy in her!
