“Kelli is absolutely amazing! Our dogs can be a lot to handle and she took care of them so wonderfully. From her reports it seemed that our pups enjoyed being with her! She made them and us comfortable.”
“Nicholas was incredible!!! I truly couldn’t have asked for a better kitty sitter while I was away! I received detailed updates on how she was doing, which made me so happy and brought me so much peace knowing she was being taken care of so well. 10/10!!!!”
“Jeffrey was fantastic and allowed us to be worry free while traveling overseas. He even helped take care of our cat who unfortunately has cancer and was able to administer oral meds. I went ahead and already booked him again for our next trip. Highly recommend!”
“Deidre was fantastic. We were very anxious leaving our older chihuahua and standard poodle alone all day since they’ve become accustomed to being no more than 5 feet away from us since working from home the last 6 years. As soon as we met Deidre for the meet and greet we were put at ease. She’s has a calm, grounded presence that not only the dogs but even our scaredy cats responded too. She came by for three visits and sent full updates and many photos. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Ari did a great job with my two goldens. He is very responsible in communicating with me. The dogs took to him immediately! I will definitely ask him to help out again!”
“Where do I begin? Patricia made my first time having a dog sitter so easy. She was responsive, timely, and trustworthy. She was our saving grace for the holiday week, so we could go visit our family back home. My husband and I appreciated all the pictures we received from her during the visits. We definitely recommend Patricia for any of your dog sitting needs!”
“Wonderful experience!! I will definitely use Ashley again and recommend her to anyone. She kept me updated and responded to messages very quickly. My cats were well taken care of. They are pretty social with me and not used to me being gone. So far they are not showing any separation issues and even the shy anxious one is doing great! Ashley stopped in to hang out twice a day and that extra people interaction each day from my past one a day visits has had a big impact. Sad as it is to say it’s almost like they didn’t miss me as much this time :) Thank you!!!”
“Tina was an awesome sitter! She was a super star for such last minute notice too! Great daily updates and pictures! She also helped keep our plants alive while we were gone! Thank you again!”
“Melanie did a great job taking care of my very unfriendly cat Daisy! She sent lots of pictures & updates, which I enjoyed getting. Melanie brought my mail in & took my garbage out to the curb for pick up too. She went above & beyond! I am so happy to have found her to take care of Daisy when I am gone!”
“We loved Helena, she treated our old dog with such great care. We will definitely be booking with her again and so appreciate her taking care of our dog.”
“I appreciate you taking care of my sweet babies! They didn't even miss me when I got back, so it's safe to say they liked you a lot! Will definitely be needing you in the future ! ☺️”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! I love pets and if I could I would adopt all the dogs! Bringing animals joy brings me joy! I’m currently working a full time job, I’m off Mondays and Tuesdays. And wanting to walk your dog any day of the week, or stop in visits on my days off! I have one lovely sweet boy dog, black lab! I’m looking forward to walks alone or with my puppy! He’s very friendly and always looking for new friends to play with!
About: I luckily was able to grow up on a farm where I was around horses, sheep, dogs and cats all throughout my childhood and young adulthood. I feel comfortable being about to sense what an animal needs and how to make them feel more as ease. I am a very active person and if you have an active dog, can get them out on adventure hikes. I work part-time and from home a lot of days. I am mostly home on the weekends and can be available with advance notice for any day or holiday. I have an apartment where dogs or cats can roam and are allowed on the bed. As I am home for much of the day they can be comforted that I am there and let out on frequent potty breaks.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs, personalized care and making every pup feel at home. I treat each dog like family, ensuring they get plenty of attention, exercise and affection. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or special needs care, i tailor my services to fit your dogs unique personality and routine. I'm currently working part-time so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available weekdays and weekends with a flexible schedule to help meet your pets needs. As a dedicated and experienced pet sitter i understand the importance of safety, trust and reliability when caring for your beloved pet inside your home. I prioritize your pets well being by following their routine, providing attentive care and ensuring a secure environment at all times. I respect your home as if it were my own and maintain open communication with regular updates giving you peace of mind while you're away.
About: * summer is here and I still have a few openings left so book asap! Also... I know it seems too early and sunny to think about the holidays, but I usually book up months in advance so reach out, even if you don't have exact travel plans, but know you'll need pet care. I currently have Labor Day already booked, but mid November - New Years is pretty much open, except one booking in Dec. Check my updated calendar. My dog care experience spans all ages and breeds. I know puppies are more work, but I enjoy working with them on leash and obedience training to maintain good habits while their people are away. I have experience with giving daily medications and have cared for senior dogs, one who needed daily blood sugar testing and insulin shots. I live mobile between pet sitting gigs staying with friends and family from Marysville to Olympia. I started pet sitting for clients when I was house cleaning during the time I was in grad school. Because I was already working in their homes and had biweekly interactions with their pets, it was an easy transition to pet care. It was also during this time that a couple of professors inquired about pet sitting. I was a backup for one of thier regular sitters and the other, I'm still their regular sitter 7+ years later. I care for your pets the same way you would. They like to sleep in the bed with me? Cool. They need extra outside play time or walks to keep their anxiety low because you're gone? Done. I am very intuitive to reading their energy and do everything I can to meet their needs. Do you have some anxiety about being away and want pictures daily? Got it covered. My experience with house cleaning also menas I take care of the spaces I am staying so I am happy to water house plants and take care of gardens if needed.
“Zash was a spectacular sitter; I'd rate more stars if I could! She really took the extra time and effort to make sure my cats were well taken care of during my holiday vacation. She asked a lot of questions during the initial meet and greet, and provided detailed visit notes each day. I had no reason to worry about my fur kids while I was gone, which really helped me to focus on enjoying my time with family. I'd be thrilled to book with Zash again in the future.”

Rory R.
“Rory is a truly a wonderful, responsible pet caregiver. I've been on a walk with Rory to socialize a dog and what sets her apart from other caregivers is her attention and compassion for animals. During our walk we had an unfortunate encounter with a ground hornets nest. I watcher Rory, first hand, pull hornets out the dog's coat before I could even register what was happening. She is always on the lookout for pet safety. Rory is also very communicative and engaged. Expect wonderful pet pictures from her outings! If you’re looking for someone responsible, kind, and genuinely caring, I highly recommend Rory. Your dog will thank you!”
Chandra H.Star Sitter
“Look no further, Chandra is a phenomenal, communicative, caring, reliable, trustworthy, and patient animal sitter. Chandra has cared for my two cats and German shepherd. Our one year old German shepherd is very intimidating and requires extra care - Chandra took the time to get to know him, his quirks, and build the relationship. Chandra is his favorite person now!! I highly recommend Chandra for any of your animal sitting needs. Your animal will be in good hands and the frequent communication / pics put your mind at ease.”
Alison S.
“I trust Alison implicitly with my 2 cats and my home. Knowing that she is here gives me immense peace of mind when I am away. Her patience and kindness have been invaluable in administering twice daily insulin injections to a very feisty cat. I wholeheartedly recommend Alison to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and trustworthy individual to take care of their pets. Her dedication and kindness are unmatched, and I am grateful to have found someone as exceptional as Alison.”

South Bay pet parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t be happier with the care our pets received while we were away! Kelli went truly above and beyond during each drop-in visit. Not only were our cat and dog well cared for, but we received regular, thoughtful updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. They followed every instruction perfectly and even took time to give extra love and attention to both our husky and cat. It was clear she genuinely cared, and it showed in how calm and happy our pets were when we returned. If you’re looking for someone responsible, kind, and detail-oriented, this is the sitter to book. We are incredibly grateful and will definitely be booking again!
Caelyn was the perfect pet sitter! She took great care of our fur baby and even fed our fish while we were gone. She was extremely reliable, trustworthy, and took her time to give lots of love and attention to our baby. She sends pictures too! We will definitely book with her again!
Nicole was a huge help for me with checking in on my cat while I was away for a few days on a holiday weekend. She provided updates and pictures during the visits and was really easy to communicate with. Would recommend her and book with her again if I need it. Thank you again!
I can’t say enough great things about Helena. I have worked with her multiple times and would do so again in a heartbeat. Helena can be counted on to what is needed and she is warm and attentive to my cats.The most recent time she cared for my two cats, one of them wasn’t feeling well and it was difficult to be out of town. I am so grateful for Helena because I knew I could fully trust her to pay close attention and be confident about administering medicine. I’ve had cats for the last 25 years and Helena is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. I can fully recommend her.
