About: I have had dogs all my life. After I moved out I raised a chocolate lab from 8 weeks old until he passed at 16 yrs. During that time frame I was also raising my Weimaraner at the same time! Both were high energy dogs (and Kaiser, my weim, still is). This has given me experience large breed, high energy dogs. I also have experience with elderly dogs. I am also no stranger to small dogs as I have also cared for my friends pomeranian. I am able to do drop ins before work, during lunch (depending on distanc), and after work. I am able to stay the night if necessary. My pets have full access to the house and are always well fed, cared for, and loved whether its play time or just hanging out watching TV.

About: Since I was 9 I have grown up with bunnies, dogs, and guinea pigs! It was early morning feeds, cleaning cage and the most fun part of it all was playing, cuddling and loving on the animals. When I turned 16 in school for extra credits I volunteered at a animal shelter in Bothell WA and loved every minute of it! Especially one day when a cat would not eat and I decided to go in the cage and just talk to the cat and gentle touches and took some food into my hand and eventually the cat started eating!! From that moment every chance I could I would walk, feed, clean, bath and play with the neighbors dogs, cats even horses!! So as you can tell I have some experience with animals and the love and companion and care as well as patience. I have also trained a few of my friends dogs the basic behaviors as well as my own! I'm not an expert but I do have the ability and patience to help with unwanted behaviors like barking, sitting, laying down, no jump, easy, wait, and I learned it all on you-tube! This is why I am trying a different path in my life and I just wanna show all the care I have for these furry friends and as well as the owners because it all starts with good customer service!! I am reliable understanding of schedules and want to meet everyone's needs to the best of my abilities because in the end its about the care and needs of your furry loved ones!!! Thank you and hope to meet you furrry-soon!!! My schedule is your schedule! If it works than it works if not we will find a solution and make it work!! I am open to any schedule!! If the need is my home, I have a fenced backyard its not a big yard but it is plenty to run and get that energy out. I have 2 dogs and a cat but I can separate if needed I am very alert and will be there always to keep an out out as well as just playing. Its all about communicating and letting me know as well how you would like to see things if the care is at my home! Always open to suggestions! Animals are like kids they have needs and I want to know so I can care for them the best way but of course no one can care for them like their owner!!

About: Hello! If you choose me to take care of your furry best friend consider them in the best hands! I have grown up with dogs all my life! Different breeds as well from the biggest you can think of to the smallest ankle biter out there. I like to treat all animals as if they were my own. Being a stay at home mom makes that even easier for me. Your pet will have 24/7 attention and have fun walks throughout the day! Being a stay at home mom my schedule is pretty open! We like to start our day bright and early, and having a dog myself we always enjoy a long walk in the morning. I like to walk the dogs at least minimum 3 times a day if your dogs need more or less I can adjust! After play time we love to cuddle up on the couch and rest their little paws All pets will be leashes prior to going on walks in addition my son is also kept away from the dogs especially while they’re eating since I have a dog of my own we have made sure to make sure he knows to be gentle with them and give them space

Darian was wonderful! She was very responsive and took such great care of my animals! She communicated very well throughout the whole process and provided me with plenty of pictures and updates each time she did a drop in visit with my dogs. You can tell she really loves all animals and was so good with all of my pets. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!

About: I love spending time with dogs of all kinds. My family dog passed away of old age (13 years) last year so I love the thought of spending time with other people’s dogs and giving them love when their families can’t be there. I currently have a golden doodle named Loki (2 years old) who lives with my friend and have taught him to sit, shake, lay down, and whisper bark! I am currently a graduate student studying speech language pathology at the University of Washington. All funds that I make through Rover go towards paying my tuition. I can dog sit anytime that is available on my calendar :) I make sure to provide lots of pictures and updates for the parents. In case anything is out of the ordinary, I always make sure to have vet information before the families leave.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve worked with dogs through fostering, volunteering at shelters, and spending time with a variety of different breeds and personalities. I have a degree in Animal Science and previous experience as a veterinary assistant, where I gained experience with animal health, behavior, and safety. I currently work as a server and am working towards my Mat Pilates certification, but caring for animals is something I really care about and enjoy. I am reliable and attentive and will treat your pets like they are my own, whether that means getting out for a walk or just spending time with them. My schedule can vary with work, but I keep my calendar updated and always communicate clearly about availability. I love spending time with dogs and make it a part of my days off. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, which makes it easy to give every dog the attention and care they deserve. Whether I’m walking a dog or visiting a client’s home, I make sure pets have plenty of attention, affection, and care. I follow any instructions from the owner, provide meals or water if needed, and ensure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable at all times.

About: Hello my name is Jaegan!!! Since I was a child, I've always had an affliction to dogs. I enjoy playing, walking, and listening to what makes dogs tick. For Some reason, I bond easily with them. They are like my babies! When they want to cuddle "I cuddle." when they speak:I try to figure out what they need. They become the center of my attention when I' m around them! I ask that you trust me when they are under my care and I will reassure you that I will keep you informed of any changes I notice when they are under my care. Shared communication about the Health of your baby is extremely important to me. Simply give me a chance to build a relationship with You so you are secure with who you left your baby with!!! 🐶👍🏼

About: I began working professionally with dogs around eighteen and I never looked back. I started in Doggy Daycares, then worked my way into the vet field, and I learned so many amazing things along the way. Now I work full-time through Rover, where I can apply the skills I’ve learned to ensure your fur baby has the most comfortable stay possible. I have a fenced yard and three other dogs to keep your baby company while they are away from home. I try to work with your dogs schedule so the transition from home is as smooth as possible. The dogs are let out ever 1-2 hours and we often spend some time to play outside, especially if it’s hot and we can get the pool out ! Every pet is treated like my own. My home is set up with not just my own pets safety in mind, but for every pet that visits. They are welcome on the couch, bed, or wherever makes them comfortable ! I have ramps so that they don’t have to jump, multiple water bowls that I change frequently throughout the house, and a yard that I love to spend time with the fur babies in !

About: I have been taking care of animals in my life for over 10 years now. I have grown up with dogs and cats as well as pet rats, guinea pigs, snakes, even spiders. I have worked at a shelter for 3 years and had to be a safety oriented person by always making sure all the animals I watched over got all the care they needed. I am CPR and first aid certified for dogs and cats and have experience giving animals medicine! I have a flexible work from home schedule so I am able to always have time for the pets I watch and provide multiple bathroom breaks and walks, and I always be there to give them love and affection! I work from home so I am able to go out for walks every 0-1 hours if needed. Dogs and cats are able to be on all the furniture and explore wherever they want. I live in an apartment and we have a huge walking area and grass field as well as a fenced dog park near me! I always make sure safety is a priority as I am a very responsible individual and always make sure your pets well being is number one!

We’ve been trusting Tia with our dogs since 2023, and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way. From day one, she’s treated them like her own, and our dogs make it very clear how they feel about her. The moment she walks through the door, their tails are going a mile a minute. That says everything. What Tia gives us is something truly hard to find: complete peace of mind. Knowing our dogs are safe, happy, and in loving hands means we can actually relax and enjoy our time away, something that wasn’t always easy before we found her. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. If you’re looking for someone you can trust completely with your furry family members, look no further. Tia is the real deal, and we’re so grateful to have her.

Briaunna was amazing!! She took such great care of our two dogs griffey & gunner. As well as our one cat, wesson. I can just tell in the photos she sent that they are happy, fed, stimulated & stress free which is all a pet parent can ask for when trusting someone with your babies. She also worked with our last minute modifications & were in the middle of a move so our messy house on top of that & not a single complaint. Would absolutely use Briaunna again on our next vacation!! Thank you so much again 🥰🥰🥰
