“This was our first time using River and we had a great experience ! Pearl loved Jonathan and he did a great job of keeping me informed on her day and sending pictures.”

About: I grew up around dogs, from the moment I was born till now. Small to the largest they come, I am comfortable handling and caring for them all! I worked in animal husbandry at a major zoo and aquarium, so I am quite in tune to animal welfare needs! I have raised and cared for feral cats even too. I have worked in animal husbandry professionally for many years at a zoo and aquarium. I grew up with many dogs and several rodents even too so I am quite comfortable with all sorts of behaviors and demeanors! I am active and ready to engage with the animals in my care, with a variety of stimulus from play to exercise! Whether it’s just a quick check in, feeding, play time, or overnight stays, I am ready to provide the best care for your pet at a moments notice! I am extremely flexible with schedules and not worried at all about spending more time if needed attending to their behaviors and giving them attention. I pride myself on trust and love which goes both ways, for humans and animals! The relationship between you, the owner, and myself, is just as valuable as that between your pet and me! I promise, them and I will be best friends from the first visit on.

“Great walks with Brooke!”

“Megan is such a kind soul and really a blessing and is really good with nova. Nova always gets excited when Megan comes around. I've already mentioned how wonderful she is with communication but I'll say it again because she is a rockstar”

“Mollie's been walking my two dogs twice a week for a couple of weeks now, and it's been great! She was very thoughtful in the initial meeting and follow up, making sure she knew what the discipline and activity goals are for each of them. The girls are calmer when I get home at night and it's a lot of peace of mind knowing how well they're taken care of by her. Highly recommend.”

“So patient and calm with my reactive pup.”

About: Hello, I’m Alisha! I truly believe I have the best job in the world. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and I feel lucky to spend my days caring for them. I have decades of experience with dog sitting, boarding, and walking, as well as experience with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Pet care is my full-time focus, which means I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable, attentive care for your furry family members. During our time together, your dog will be treated like one of my own—with plenty of love, patience, exercise, enrichment, and personalized attention. Every day is tailored to the needs of the dogs in my care. Depending on the schedule, we may enjoy pack walks, solo adventures, enrichment sniffaris, park visits, or relaxing time at home. I balance exercise, mental stimulation, rest, and plenty of affection to ensure each dog has a safe, fun, and enriching experience. Safety is my top priority. I carefully supervise all pets, use secure leashes and harnesses, follow feeding and medication instructions exactly, and maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment. I always respect clients’ homes, keep doors and gates secure, and provide regular updates for peace of mind.

“Thank you so much for your help in an emergency situation. Boo seemed to take to you very easily and was happy to see you!”

About: Hi! My name is Cathy, and ever since I was a little kid, I have had a huge fascination and connection with animals, specifically dogs. As a younging I'd spend my free time researching dog breeds for fun, and before I was old enough to work on Rover, I I hung up fliers advertising my own dog walking business. Since I love dogs so much, I have heaps of experience walking and pet sitting all kinds of dogs. From my late large dog, Quiver, a Flat-coated Retriever, to a medium sized Australian Shepard, to a Miniature Schnauzer. I will dedicate 100% of my attention and time to making sure your dog is always happy and healthy! I have years of experience caring for senior dogs. When I heard about my dog’s disease prognosis, I began hand cooking him meals chock full of cancer-fighting vegetables and supplements in addition to his dry food. This included (as seen in my photos) sweet potatoes, red cabbage, broccoli, turmeric, fish oil, mushroom powder, etc. The vet had projected he would only live another 2 months, with my care and the change of his food, he lived and loved over 2 more years! So if your dog has a special diet, do not hesitate to let me know. I am currently a student who mainly works from home so I have plenty of time and a wide open schedule to care for your precious pets. My house is smoke free, pet safe and pet friendly. You can rest assured your companion is safe, cared for and happy with me. I love dogs and dogs love me!

About: I moved from Mi to Wa in 2015 and decided in 2018 to be a dog walker. That was in King county and after moving to a house in 2021, dog boarding turned into my new side job. Last year I also enrolled in Victoria Stilwell’s Academy for positive training. So I am very aware of dog’s body language and needs. I absolutely love dogs and they are truly my life now but when I was 8 that wasn’t the case. I was bit in the face by a family friend’s dog. He was old and on medication, I startled him awake which led to him biting me. From this incident, I watched Victoria Stilwell on animal planet to get over my fear of bigger dogs and here I am today with a certification in dog training and starting my career with human’s best friend. My goal is for you and your dog to be as comfortable as possible. I only treat dogs/pets as I would want someone to treat mine (and believe me I am a high maintenance pet mom 😉) Dogs are my job. Whether it is boarding, sitting, or walking; this is what I do full time. Sometimes I do Instacart to get out a bit but will do that when my boyfriend is home. I am starting up my bath bomb business again so to have a companion working alongside with me is my ideal work day. My boyfriend works from home majority of the time, so there is always someone home. His kids do come over 50% of the week and are very kind and helpful with dogs that are boarding with me. They are 12 and 11 so they aren’t little kids. I have lick mats, Kong Gyro, and plenty of space for your dog to have fun at my house. My house is fenced in, we are updating the property all the time to make sure it is safe as possible. For larger dogs, I have a bell on a ziptie to put on your dog’s collar just so I can hear where they are at all times when I am outside with them. For smaller pups, I always go outside with them due to being in an open area so they are safe. I also have a 30’ leash that I can hook them to for extra safety. Inside, I make them as comfortable as possible. Whatever they like at home I try my best to provide at my house.

About: Hi! I’m Hailey! 🐾 I’ve grown up with animals my entire life and am now a proud dog mom to my 1 year old Bernese Mountain Dog, Odie! Between growing up with pets and having a giant, fluffy dog of my own, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve done a little bit of everything when it comes to pet care, from dog walking and house sitting to overnight stays. I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare and a veterinary clinic, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and quirks. I’ve learned that every animal has their own little language, and I’m pretty good at figuring it out. My family calls me the “animal whisperer,” so I have a reputation to uphold! I genuinely love animals and would probably choose spending time with them over people most days. I’m the kind of person who will happily send you way too many photos, give your dog an unnecessary number of compliments, and make sure they get plenty of attention, cuddles, playtime, and treats (with your permission, of course!). Whether your pet is a couch potato, an adventure buddy, a little nervous around new people, or completely convinced they run the household, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away, and to make sure you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I’m a registered nurse, but I currently have a pretty flexible schedule and lots of availability, which means I have plenty of time to devote to the things I actually love… hanging out with animals! Since my schedule isn’t always the typical 9 to 5, I can be pretty flexible when it comes to walks, drop ins, house sitting, and overnight stays. Basically, if your pet needs some extra attention, exercise, cuddles, or someone to keep them company, I’m probably your girl! I live in a single family home with a fully fenced in back yard where animals have access to the outdoors any time they please! I love spending time with any and all animals so if I am in the home I am typically giving them some type of attention or love!

About: I try my best to keep all animals content and happy in my care, which usually means keeping a pet busy and their mind working to keep them from getting bored. I also have experience taking care of special needs animals, including using an inhaler, dementia, and experience with giving medicine. Mostly I try to keep animals happy, and their minds occupied to starve off boredom. I'm currently a self employed hairstylist, but my schedule is very flexible, which makes it very easy to fit pets into my day and work around pet sitting As a rule follower, I intend to follow every direction given for your pets care. I want to prioritize your pets safety and comfort, especially when taking care of them in their own home.

About: Hi, I'm Andrea! I have over 15 years of dedicated pet care experience, ranging from puppyhood to senior care. Recently, I lost with my beloved soul dog, Lucy, who was my best friend of 16 years. While my home feels a bit too quiet right now, I have an abundance of love, patience, and experienced care left to give. Turning my focus toward helping other pet parents brings me immense joy, and I treat every animal in my care with the same deep devotion I gave my own. Because I have a highly reliable and flexible schedule, I am completely open to tailoring my day around your pet's exact routine. 15+ Years of Expertise: Over a decade of hands-on experience means I understand pet behavior, body language, and the exact signs of a happy, healthy animal. All-Weather Walker: I genuinely love going for walks and staying active, rain, snow, or shine. Your pup will never miss their daily outdoor time or exercise just because of a cloudy day. Senior & Special Needs Familiarity: Having cared for my own dog through all stages of life, I am incredibly comfortable with senior pacing, gentle handling, and strict medication schedules. Completely Flexible Availability: My open schedule means your pet will receive undivided attention, timely potty breaks, and a consistent, stress-free routine. I am comfortable with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your pet needs high-energy companionship or just a quiet, reassuring presence to lounge next to while you are away, I adapt entirely to their comfort level. You can expect frequent photo updates and seamless communication throughout our time together. I offer dependable drop-in visits and walks tailored completely to your dog's energy level and routine. Because I teach part-time at the YMCA, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I can easily accommodate mid-day work breaks, morning strolls, or evening routines. Safety on the Move: I practice strict safety protocols on walks. I never allow interactions with unknown dogs, keep a firm grip on the leash, and stay highly aware of our surroundings. Detailed Post-Visit Reports: After every walk or visit, you will receive a detailed update, including a map of our route (for walks), a potty update, and plenty of photos. Home Security & Trust: I will respect your home, privacy, and security. I am extremely mindful of locking doors, setting alarms, and leaving your house exactly as I found it.

“Saved our bacon at the last minute with a walk, and very clearly knows exactly what she’s doing. Ever meet someone and you think “phew, they are an expert at this”? Yeah that’s her”

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and have basically never known a pet-free life. I grew up with my dad, who is a professional dog trainer, so learning how to understand and work with animals started early for me. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and even ferrets (yes, really) — I had two ferrets and a cat in college, and now I have two cats of my own. I regularly take care of my family’s pets when they’re out of town, and I take that responsibility seriously while still making sure pets feel relaxed, safe, and loved. I’m excited to expand my pet care and help more families feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have two cats of my own, and playtime is built into our mornings and evenings — it’s something my husband and I genuinely enjoy. We both work full-time (I’m a teacher and he works in the medical field), but during the day my mom or grandmother is home with my son, so there’s always someone around. That means pets are never left without care, attention, or a familiar presence, and I’m able to stick closely to each pet’s normal routine. Pets will be safe and comfortable in my home. We own our house and have both a fully fenced backyard and a fenced front yard, giving pets plenty of secure outdoor space. We love getting outside and regularly go on longer walks and trail excursions, so active dogs will get plenty of exercise and enrichment. Daily walks are already part of our routine, often with my son along for the fun. Inside, pets have space to relax, and I can crate a dog if needed or requested. I also have a calm, quiet area of the house for pets who prefer a more peaceful space or need a break from activity.

“Lelia is dependable and a great communicator. I had a hiccup with logistics and timing however she was flexible and accommodating and spent extra time with Spanky. Spanky is a shy boy and will not usually walk out of the house with a stranger, unless he is on leash. He liked Lelia enough to for a walk without being coaxed outside on his leash! I will definitely book Lelia again!”

“Win is amazing! Extremely friendly and professional during our meet and greet and covered everything I could possibly think of about my pup. Your dog will be in good hands if you choose her!”

About: I have been working with foster kittens through local shelters my entire life, learning how to manage medicine schedules, weighing schedules, as well as caring for vulnerable critters with illnesses or anxiety. Socializing kittens with dogs (vis versa) is also some thing I am incredibly passionate about, helping all animals in your household aclimate comfortably with one another is something I strive for! I worked for around a year with a professional dog show handler as her assistant, learning how to manage over 30 animals at a time, gaining valuable experience with grooming all types of dogs, working with animal parents, and acquiring valuable skills and knowledge in training and obedience. As a college student in the area, I’m looking to meet and support families around the community! My weekdays are more open to check-in visits and dog walking, my weekends are more open for boarding or Housesitting- lets me help you find what you need! And I will be able to stop by your house to feed, walk, or hang out with your animals as needed. Working around my school/athletics schedule should be no problem, and I am totally ready to figure out an agenda that works!

About: I’ve grown up with high energy dogs since I was in diapers. My dad hunted duck and taught me at an early age how to kennel train and obedience train. I only work part time remotely and love being outside, rain or shine. I have two high energy dogs of my own who get along well with others but I have more than enough time to watch your own pets one on one. As a dog owner myself, I would want my pets to have an even better time while being sat than their usual day to day. Being without their owner will be stressful on it’s own, so they deserve to feel like it’s a week at Disneyland. Extra play, extra walks, and extra care under their usual routine as they wait for you to come home.
