Always a great feeling to know Juli is checking in when I’m away. Even when Nala is feeling anti-social, I know Juli will still give her the best care and attention.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many sizes, most have been large. I can care for both puppies and seniors, though I still need work with training. I also have experience with cats and kittens. I spent some time taking care of dogs with separation anxiety, and I can tell you that I will do what I can to help your pups (or cats) feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I also have plenty of experience walking dogs of any size and energy level both professionally and personally. I am currently searching for a job, however until I have a full or part time job I can be with your furry friends all day! I even after the fact, I should always have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups and/or cats. I do everything I can to make sure that your animals will be comfortable and feel safe with me while I’m caring for them. If they’re skittish I will be slow and gentle with them, and if they are more social I will still give them space and time to get used to me, while still playing with them and taking them on walks so they can release their energy!

Alexa and Connor were good communicators and were willing to come out to do a meet and greet before confirming booking. Overall I had a good experience and would rebook with them again! Like they said you get two for one in their pricing. My cats warmed up to them and were taken well care of while I was on travel.

Alyssa was fantastic! My dogs are slow to welcome new people into their lives, but they had huge smiles on their faces when we received photos of their check ins. Made my vacation super relaxing knowing my babies were so well taken care of while I was away. Will definitely be trying to steal Alyssa's availability next time I go out of town.

Elizabeth was so great and easy to work with! Her Rover cards were the most detailed I’ve ever received, and she really made sure to spend time with our kitty to give her sime playtime and snuggles. I would definitely recommend hiring her, and would love the opportunity to hire her again another time!

Ethan has been a saving grace for us from day 1 with our puppy. He has come for drops ins 2-3 times a week for a few months now and we are looking forward to starting doggy daycare at Ethan’s next week. Ethan is punctual, an excellent communicator, incredibly knowledgeable and natural with dogs. It has also been a huge relief knowing we can rely on Ethan to be consistent with any training tidbits during these early months. His summaries at the end of his visits are very helpful, and his photos and videos are fun to see. Overall, we absolutely recommend Ethan and feel very lucky to have him in Tacoma as part of Theo’s family!

About: I’m new to Rover, but not new to caring for dogs. I’ve spent years helping friends and family with their pets and am comfortable handling different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I live in a house with a fully fenced yard, and because I work three shifts a week as a nurse, I’m home frequently on my off days to give dogs plenty of attention and supervision. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, crate training, medication, or a quieter stay if they prefer being the only dog. My goal is simple: a safe, relaxed environment where your dog feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I work three shifts a week as a nurse with my schedule changing weekly, so on my off days I’m home a lot and able to give dogs consistent attention and structure. I’m able to help care for and interact with dogs in any way that’s required. I’ve had needy dogs that have to be by your side every second and the more independent dogs that prefer less attention and I’m happy to work with both. I'm good at reading dogs and letting them dictate our interactions as far as providing them attention and care. I live in a house with a fully fenced yard, which means safe outdoor time, fresh air, and room to stretch. I don’t have pets of my own, so the environment stays calm and predictable.

Paul was clutch in every sense of the word. 🫶 We were in a bit of a scramble after our original sitter fell through last-minute, and Paul came through like a legend. We had a wedding to attend and needed someone to check in on our fur kids (Nala, Zeus, Tank, and Milo) — and he totally nailed it. From the jump, he was super chill, responsive, and just on it. Asked all the right questions, followed instructions to a T, and kept us updated with messages that made us feel way less guilty for stepping away from our lovable little velvet hippos for the day. 😅 Our kids are generally friendly, but let’s be real — a pack of bullies charging at you with full gremlin energy can be a lot. Paul didn’t even flinch. Handled it like an absolute pro, and had them vibing with him almost instantly. We could tell they were in great hands — cared for, played with, and probably a little spoiled (as they should be). Honestly, Paul is the kind of sitter that makes you feel like you hit the Rover jackpot.✨Reliable, good vibes, and clearly great with animals. 1000% would book again. Thank you, Paul, for stepping up and showing our kids mad love. You’re officially part of our bully gang now. 🐾💯

Brooklyn was a wonderful sitter for our cat while we were gone. She was quick to respond to messages and offered to vacuum and clean around her litter box. We could tell from pictures that our cat really enjoyed Brooklyn’s company. We will absolutely use her services again when we leave town.

Xavier is an AMAZING pet sitter. He even got my skiddish cat to run up to him, jump on his lap, and purr after just two days of visiting. He was able to give my other cat her medicine every morning and night with no issues. I will definitly be reaching out to Xavier the next time I need a sitter.

Kayleigh did an amazing job of taking care of my Vivi while I was out of town. She spent so much time with her and made sure she had food, drink and a clean litter box with each visit. I recommend her for new cat mamas who are going out of town and leaving their cats alone for the first time! She worked hard to get Vivi to warm up, and I appreciate her so much!

Susie has checked in on my kitties and provided them excellent care a few times now-my super anxious one even comes out of hiding when she is dropping in. She is always the first person I ask and it puts my mind at ease to know she is going to be with them! I highly recommend her. She goes the extra mile and even stopped by to remove a possibly dangerous item the cats could have gotten into if they got bored enough, outside of the window I booked her because I was worried the cats could get into something they shouldn't have. All around, she provides 5 star service and really loves cats. :)

Holly took care my 2 cats for 5 days and she was great! It was obvious right away that she has a love for animals and she was great with my girls, going above and beyond to make sure their needs were met. She also sends pictures and an overview of her visits each time, and is responsive to my questions . I will definitely book Holy in the future!
