“Johanna was so attentive to my anxious little guy, taking the extra time and care to experiment with different ways to coax him to eat his less preferred soft foods after his oral surgery. She kept everything clean and tidy for me, was responsive and even proactive, and provided detailed updates twice a day as I requested. She even left a thoughtful hand written note for us when I got home about her stay, it was really special and I feel lucky to have found her on here. Big thank you Johanna, and highly recommend!”

“Zach recently stayed with our girl juniper and he was so good to her. He updated me daily about her. He could tell juniper was missing us and was doing whatever he could to help comfort her. He kept her very active while staying too letting me know he’d take her on walks or to his parents house so she could play with their neighbors dog. He had very great communication. He also was great to our house and kept it nice and clean. My husband and I would absolutely book with Zach again. This was also out first time using rover and Zach really just helped us feel comfortable with leaving our junie with him.”


About: Since childhood I’ve enjoyed being around all pets and animals. I pet sit and house sit for friends and neighbors regularly. I work from home. I provide Reiki as well. If they want to go for a fun walk, swim, park or chill out snuggling then I’m flexible. Many dogs and cats that have a hard time socializing, eating, anxiety, I find ways to connect. My goal is to bring calm and support to what the animal needs while separated from their main caretaker. *I love large animals but unfortunately cannot accept requests right now for large dogs. I’m still recovering from breast cancer and unable to walk them if they pull. If you have fenced in yard, then I’ll consider. I work from home so I can stop in for a walk easily. If I can use your wifi, I can work from your home while hanging out with your pet. I cannot watch pets at my home. I’ll follow the normal routine in your home as closely as possible. Walks, dog parks, or snuggles.
“This is the second time Summer has house and kitty sat for us and again we are very happy with her service. Summer understands cats and is responsible and competent with no fuss. I was able to relax when traveling, knowing that our kitty is being cared for and that Summer will communicate if any questions or issues arise.”

“Absolutely the best. We are crazy protective pet parents and we felt completely comfortable with Becky. She sent lots of photos and videos. She took our dogs for lots of walks. We think that really helps with their stress levels. Both our dogs acted like they missed Becky when she went home. That is exactly what you want from a dog sitter. She took great care of our house as well. Will definitely use her again. We feel like Becky is part of our family now.”

“Our pups adored Brougan. They were very well taken care of. One had a broken toe nail and that required watching him and putting on bandages so he wouldn't lick it. Brougan also watered all of plants for us and left the house clean. We will definetly be using Brougan again. Thank you.”

“Aaliyah was prompt and amiable and communicated well. She was great with Curly and Curly liked her. We couldn’t ask for more and will seek her again when we have need for dog sitting.”

“Maggie took good care of Abby and Nova while we were gone. Our house was in order and our animals were happy when we got home. Would definitely have Maggie come back in the future.”

“Dianne house sat for my energetic pitbull, who has some anxiety/prey drive/reactivity behavioral challenges. She took good care of her and let me know things were going well. Thanks Dianne!”

“Erika was fantastic! She was really good about getting to know us and our pets and their needs. She handled all the details very well including pet medicines. She was a great communicator and the pets loved her! Will hire again, for sure.”
“I've used Halle's housesitting services twice now, and have had a fabulous experience with her both times. It is so nice to come home to a clean house and a happy dog!”

“Chloe did an amazing job. She checked in. She sent pictures she walked them and played fetch with them and made them feel right at home while we were gone for our anniversary! She stayed in touch and even washed the guest bedding for us as well. We have her coming again next weekend! Thanks so much Chloe!!”


About: When I was little and people asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said 'dog walker' — and now I finally get to live that dream! This summer I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I have experience with both small and large dogs, as well as cats, and I treat every animal like my own. This summer I'm home in Olympia taking a college course, so my days are flexible and my focus is simple — hitting the books and spoiling some fur babies! I have plenty of time and am committed to giving your pet consistent, reliable care My home comes with a large fenced yard — plenty of room for your pup to run wild, explore, and have the time of their life!

“Alexis did a wonderful job with my pit bull Jemma. Very attentive and sent lots of pictures. The stress of leaving Jemma has always been a problem but now that have Alexis I will be having him take care of her again”
“Stephanie went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were comfortable and well cared for. She was kind, responsive, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. We felt completely at ease while we were away! Highly recommend!”

“Kirsten was great! She helped us out with really short notice, and was very flexible & accommodating. Cooper seemed to connect with her right away! We will definitely book her again!!”

Kacie was a great house sitter for my energetic/anxious pit bull, who requires some extra care and patience. She sent lots of pictures/kept me updated, followed instructions, and kept my dog happy with play time too! Would recommend for any one's pet sitting needs. Thank you Kacie!!

Our pups adored Brougan. They were very well taken care of. One had a broken toe nail and that required watching him and putting on bandages so he wouldn't lick it. Brougan also watered all of plants for us and left the house clean. We will definetly be using Brougan again. Thank you.

Madisyn was an excellent sitter for our Mochi! She sent several updates and photos throughout the weekend. She stayed at our house for two days, even offering to wash the bedding. She has a Google doc for her clients to fill out, which I loved - made me feel even better leaving our pup in her hands. She will definitely be our sitter in the future! Thanks again Madisyn 😊

Simonne was amazing from the very beginning! We have a very anxious/reactive German Shepherd and we were anxious about going out of town and leaving her with someone. Simonne respo ded to my request promply, reassured us, met our pup in a "meet and greet" several weeks in advance to make sure it would work. Simonne was calm and supportive of our dog. She asked several questions which demonstrated that she is completely comfortable tending to animals regularly and well. Ourpromptly, our home were well cared for and, I think our dog even misses her now that we are home. Simonne will be the first person I call when we travel again!

My wife and I are so comfortable having Robin care for our two dogs, (one is completely blind and our other one only has one eye), that we’ve booked her to care for them in our house throughout the rest of this year. When we arrived home from our trip, the house was very clean and our dogs were sleeping. I can’t recommend Robin enough. Having someone with the experience, compassion and attention to detail that Robin has, makes our stays away from home and our girls, restful. We know that Robin cares for them, just as we care for them!

Wow! Extraordinary! From the moment we met Lisa at the “meet and greet” and saw how excited Hope was we knew Lisa would be a perfect fit to stay with Hope and our home. Everything was perfect during her stay with Hope. Lisa followed all of our instructions, gave Hope lots of attention and sent us frequent updates with gorgeous photos! We cannot wait until our next trip so Lisa can stay with Hope!

Jackie (Kirsten) was an excellent choice for our dog while we were on vacation. She was friendly and really a natural when interacting with our nervous dog. We felt confident that it was a good fit, and we were correct. Jackie communicated with us via email and sending photos daily. We came home to a happy dog. We plan on using her services in the future!

Chloe has been sitting our dogs for years now. She is so good with our dogs. She does so much extra for them and she loves them and they love her! I never have to worry when they are with her. She sends me pics and videos of them and gives me updates. She’s amazing and we will always use her when we can! Thank you Chloe!

Anita took very good care of my dog and cat. She gave the cat plenty of space and was patient with her introvert ways. Nova even started to hang out in the same area as Anita towards the end of her stay. Anita was injured right before our booking but did not cancel and was positive and upbeat about it. I really appreciate the care she gave our pets. The house was clean and in order when we returned. I would not hesitate to ask Anita to stay with Abby and Nova again.
