“10/10 would recommend & rebook. Megan was really great with our fur babies as well as keeping us informed while we were away. We forgot to leave the TV on for our pets and she remembered our conversation during our initial meeting, and turned on the TV for them. The peace of mind and care she provided was everything we could have asked for.”

“Brooklyn took wonderful care of my cat. She has such a warm and assuring presence that was the perfect fir for my shy gal. Everything was in order when I arrived back home from my trip, and her daily updates assured me my pet was safe and well cared for. Thank you for your kindness!”

About: I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, horses, cows, chickens, and ducks from a very young age. For the last 13 years I have worked in the pet food industry developing a knowledge and passion for pet health, behavior and nutrition. My current work schedule is Tues-Sat, I am available for walks, potty breaks and feedings before or after my shifts. Sunday and Monday there is more flexibility in my schedule and I can do mid day drop ins or longer distance runs/walks with higher activity level pets. I would love to meet you and your pet to discuss any special needs or requirements for their care. I have a fenced yard and live in walking distance to a public park and school field that can be used before/after school hours. I prefer to work with your pet in the environment which they are most comfortable, your home. I am open to short stays at my home if that is what is best for your situation.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals throughout my life. I grew up with a dog and have since gained hands-on experience caring for dogs during many house-sitting stays. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and following each pet’s established routine. I’ve also had cats my entire life and currently have a cat of my own, so I understand their unique personalities, boundaries, and ways of communicating. As an energy practitioner, I’ve developed a calm, grounded, and observant presence that animals often respond to naturally. It also helps me notice their subtle cues and give them the affection, reassurance, or space they need. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pet and home with genuine care and respect. I carefully follow instructions, keep everything tidy, and provide photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time and have a consistent schedule, which allows me to plan pet care reliably. I’m best suited for drop-in visits before or after work, evenings and weekends, as well as house-sitting stays. During house sitting, I can maintain your pet’s morning, evening, and overnight routine. Some daytime visits may also be available depending on location and advance notice. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s schedule to ensure my availability is a dependable fit for their needs. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, playtime, litter, and household instructions while respecting each pet’s personality and boundaries. I keep doors and gates secured, maintain a clean space, and provide regular photo and message updates. I approach every animal calmly and patiently, allowing them to become comfortable with me at their own pace.

“Alex was outstanding! She is professional, dependable, and an excellent communicator. It was clear from the moment we met that she genuinely loves animals, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. She took wonderful care of my dog and cat during each drop-in visit and consistently provided timely updates and photos so I always knew they were doing well. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Alex again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter through Rover.”

About: I've had pets most of my life including dogs, cats, fish and birds. I had 2 small dogs that recently passed away. One of them I had from a puppy until she passed at 15 years old. The other I adopted at 6 years old and had her until she was 12. So I'm very experienced taking care of all ages of pets. I loved my pets as if they were my kids and hope to pass that kind of care to your pets! I have a flexible schedule at the moment, but normally work full time Monday through Thursday. If boarding, I need a couple days in advance notice to make sure I can accommodate your pets needs. I own my own house with a fenced in yard. I live alone with no other pets. I also don't have any children so it will be just me and your pets! I will follow all instructions for caring for your pets at your home as well.

About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m a Midwest girl originally from Chicago who now calls the beautiful Pacific Northwest home! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I couldn’t imagine life without them! As a proud pet parent to two dogs and two cats, I understand just how much our furry companions mean to us. I also have firsthand experience caring for senior pets, so I know the importance of patience, attentiveness, and a little extra TLC as our furry friends get older. Whether your pup loves long walks, outdoor adventures, or simply curling up for some cuddles, I’m happy to accommodate their individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and of course, I’m a huge cat lover, too! I’m friendly, dependable, flexible, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving, attentive hands. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! 🐶🐱💕 My schedule is pretty flexible and happy to work with many schedules. Just shoot me a message and we can figure something out. Let’s chat! I am currently not caring for pets in my home as I have a small apartment with 4 pets already. I am happy to care for pets in their own home, and follow their normal schedule. I am very accommodating and súper flexible. Let’s chat!

About: Believe it or not… as a child I was actually afraid of dogs. That all changed when my grandma brought home a Lab (mashed midnight ) who completely won my heart! From that moment on my fear turned into a lifelong love for dogs! As the proud owner of Sky, my energetic Australian Shepherd… I’ve learned how important exercise, structure and affection are for happy, healthy dogs. I look forward to giving your pup the same level of care and attention!!! I work from home majority of the time.. which gives me the flexibility to accommodate walks and drop in visits throughout the day. Whether your pup needs a midday potty break, exercise or a little extra companionship.. I’m able to provide dependable care while working around your pet’s routine! At this time…I offer pet care in clients’ homes only. This allows your pet to stay in a familiar and comfortable environment while receiving care and attention :)

About: FALL 2026. OCT-DEC Boardings: Open. Especially Holidays. Pick Up and Drop Off: Open. See my boarding schedule. Recurring Walks: After Nov 1, 4/4 Slots Open. Direct Booking: Request at least 1 night ahead. One-time Walks, Meet and Greets: Open. See my walk schedule. SCHEDULE Ask or check online. Photo journals, methods, and consents are online too, by requests. BACKGROUND My own business primarily uses group walks to build trust, socialize dogs, and normalize habits. Many dogs I board I also walk weekly in groups, so we have high trust. ABOUT ME I'm socially neurodivergent. Lots of sincerity, very little small talk. I think in feelings, so when survival mode fades over the months and your dog's own personality comes out, their feelings catch me and some reports turn into a poem. This also means I'm not the type to sell myself. Reach out for any services you may want. I'm home and board dogs full-time. I also work part time as a computer programmer when not walking dogs. I can code either inside the house in various rooms, or outside on the covered patio. I rarely leave home for more than a few hours at a time. I'm available for meet and greets, and amenable to pickup and drop-off for boardings. I share the house with one roommate who keeps to their room mostly and is good with dogs. I can board up to 4 dogs at a time. If a dog needs its own dedicated space? I have a bedroom-office that opens straight onto the backyard. Doors close it off from the rest of the house. I can stay and sleep in that room during their visit. The other socialized dogs then have use of the rest of the house. For any emergencies, I use Chambers Creek Veterinary Hospital. Open 24/7 and within 10 minutes. Wood floors throughout, put in with boarding in mind. No shoes inside. Temperature and humidity gauge at floor level to maintain comfortable conditions. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. Dog beds in most rooms and on the patio. I have one large and one small dog crate, though I don't find a need for them often. Fully fenced backyard with shade, grass for lounging and sniffing, and sticks for chewing. Floors swept daily. Vacuumed and mopped a few times per week. Disinfecting wipes used for any messes. I have a jumbo washer and dryer, both with steam settings that disinfect. Dog beds, blankets, and toys are washed and steamed between stays, and even during when needed. The yard is picked up daily. My dog Vesper is a dachshund-beagle mix, 11 years old, 22 lbs, spayed. She used to be neurotic and now wiggles all the time. A veteran of more boardings and group walks than I can count. Her strong habits and bond with me help set the pace for new dogs. She is current on rabies thru 2028, DAPP and Bordetella, plus monthly flea/tick/heartworm.

“Brooke is such a wonderful person and blessing to us. Brutus and I are so glad we found her. She takes great care of my best friend and it shows. I am hesitant to write this review, I’m not sure we can share her :) She’s easy to chat with, punctual and even gives my my guy his snackies before going out the door. We appreciate her and think she’s the best.”

Kimberly was really kind and responsive. I was anxious about booking a rover for the first time ever and when I saw her profile I knew the found the one. The pictures she sent were great. I love that she took pictures of my pets food and water, so that we had that extra reassurance that they had everything they needed.

Once again, Holly took such amazing care of my two beloved kitties. She is very much on top of everything and so communicative every step of the way. She takes amazing pictures of my babies for me to see while I am away (my favorite part). But the kitties favorite part are all the cuddles and play time that they get with her during their visits. I’ll continue to reserve Holly for future cat sitting needs as long as she is available. 🐾
