House Sitting in Ruston, Tacoma, WA

“We had such peace of mind the weekend Erin stayed with our two dogs. She had a very calming presence and the dogs responded so well to her, even during the initial consultation (they get worked up easily and don’t always like “strangers”). She gave consistent updates, was very on top of communication and well organized! We can’t wait to have her back!”

About: I always grew up with pets in my home and loved all of them so much. I have been on Rover for a good amount of time now, having experience with all kinds of dogs, understanding that they have their own unique needs. I am a student athlete trying to make money for college by doing what I love. My schedule changes from week to week but I’m always available 12:00-4:00pm (unless I’m booked). Wednesday is usually my busiest day of the week. Least busy is Monday and Friday. Saturday and Sunday REALLY depend on the week. Some days I’m available all day, others only part of the day but I often flex my schedule. 👍 Since I currently don’t have any pets I will care for your cat/dog as if they are my own with lots of love. I will gladly send picture and video updates of your pet. I’m here because I genuinely love pets.

“Kelsie was professional and easy to work with. She had great communication across the 4 days she was housesitting/taking care of my dog. My dog and home were in great hands. I would definitely chose Kelsie again next time I’m in need of a sitter!”

“Sierra was very communicative and took lots of pictures and videos of her time with our good balls. Even with an injured wrist she was able to care for our two med/large (70 lb each) dogs. They had a blast with her and the house was in great shape when we got back. Definitely would rebook and recommend!”

Jennifer A.

“Mollie checked in frequently with pictures. Communication was often and clear. It was clear she knows a lot about caring for animals and asked all the right questions during our meet and greet. Will definitely be using Mollie again.”

Lindsey W.

“Briana and Jamal were so amazing at taking care of our dog and home while we were away. They sent lots of updates that showed our clearly very happy dog having the time of his life. They helped him with his medical needs as well. We will definitely ask them to sit for us again!”

“Rose was great! Stayed with our herd overnight and even managed to get our under-the-weather dog to take her meds. Our 3 cats warmed up to her really quickly and everyone was happy when we got home.”

Kim H.

“Once again, Adam took great care of our 3 dogs and 2 cats while we were away for almost 2 weeks. We have a fairly high maintenance pack, and Adam is up to the task. There was some extra medication that one of the dogs needed while we were gone, and he picked it up for us and made sure she got what she needed. He kept us updated on how things were going, and sent pictures of happy critters to keep our minds at ease. He genuinely loves the animals he takes care of, so we know they not only get what they need, but they also get lots of love and attention.”

“Emily stayed at my place for five nights to watch my Aussie, and she was amazing! She kept him happy, gave him lots of love and walks, and sent me updates so I knew he was doing great. I came home to a very happy pup and a house just the way I left it. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”

Christina S.

“Elysia took great care of our girl while we went on vacation! We were a little nervous to leave her with someone new, but she was fantastic and our dog loved her! We got lots of cute pictures and updates, great communication, and the house looked perfectly clean and tidy when we got home. We will definitely be keeping her in mind for any future vacations.”

Amanda M.

“Debra is simply the best. Did a great job, again. I had zero worries about my sweet pup while we were gone. Took great care of the house and checked in frequently, sent lots of adorable pictures of Coco and Daisy. Couldn’t recommend her enough.”

Kellie G.

“Such a wonderful caring person to watch our home and pups for a week. Very communicative, and never felt in the dark about anything. Good judgement and asks questions when needed. Thanks Nicole!!”

Krystelle R.

“Geo did a wonderful job taking care of our cat Luna while we were on vacation. He is very responsible, kind, and caring. Our cat warmed up to him and he spoiled her by playing with her a lot and winning over her trust!”

Paul M.

“Jackie is the absolute best! She takes such amazing care of our fur babies that we don't have a single worry when we are gone and are able to enjoy our vacation to the fullest. Her sincere love for our pets is very touching! Not only is she great with our pets but she is an awesome house sitter. Would recommend her over and over again to everyone!”

Brandi S.

“Hannah is great! My dog, Klaus, really liked her and I could tell she liked him too! She came on time and followed all the instructions I left for her. I would not hesitate to call on Hannah again to stay with Klaus!”

Carla K.

“Taylor, thank you so much again for helping to watch and house sit with my pup. It's always difficult to leave him with someone but you made it very easy and it was such a great experience. Looking forward to calling you when I have to travel again.”

Kerstin-Leigh C.

“Fantastic experience working with Laura. From our first interaction, I felt comfortable and confident that she could care for our two large dogs. Over the course of the 4 days she loved on them and she kept me updated each day with how they were doing. I highly recommend Laura and will rebook her the next time we need care.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, and pets have always been part of my family. Right now, we share our home with a wonderful dog, as well as fish and axolotls. Over the years, I’ve also had cats and other pets, so I understand the different kinds of attention and care each animal needs. When looking after pets, I focus on safety, consistency, and comfort. I know how important it is for them to feel secure and cared for while their people are away. I treat every pet like part of my own family and always aim to provide the same love and respect I give my own animals. I offer flexible scheduling for dog walks and drop-in visits. Whether you need regular daily walks, quick potty breaks, or occasional check-ins, I’ll work with you to create a routine that keeps your pets happy and comfortable. I’m dependable and punctual, and I make sure each visit is focused on your pet’s needs—whether that’s exercise, playtime, feeding, or just a little extra love. Clear communication is important to me, so you’ll always know when I’m coming and how your pets are doing. I take both pet safety and home security very seriously. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect I give my own—doors are always locked, routines are followed carefully, and your space is left just as I found it. I’m comfortable working independently and know how important it is for you to feel at ease while you’re away. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pets are doing. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pets are happy, safe, and cared for—and that your home is secure until you return.

“Rio was punctual, a good communicator, and great with our Smooth Fox Terrier, Henry, who has a bit of separation anxiety when we leave him home alone.”
