“There is a reason why Briaunna has so many raving reviews. She not only walks my dog but trains him along the way. She takes charge of the walk, gets him walking to get that puppy energy out and instructs my puppy on how to walk while providing praise when he does a good job. He always looks forward to seeing her and has no problem leaving me at the door :) Briaunna is highly dependable and communicates extremely well, not only for booking but if he is doing better at walking in general or any feedback she makes sure to mention which I appreciate.”

About: I’ve grown up having dogs around me at all times. I currently have 3 of my own fur babies, and while they’re definitely a handful (or pawful), I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love playing, walking, and just spending time with pets and I can’t wait to be able to treat your animals like my own! During my services, I always make sure to include at least three pictures of your pets when I stop by, I know how long a day can feel without seeing your animals. My main goal is to make sure you and your pet(s) are satisfied with the services I provide because I know just how important our furry friends are to all of us and our families! I also have experience with bird, rodent, small reptile and amphibian care! I’m happy to watch any and all types of our animal family members while you’re away ! I have been in love working with animals since my first Girl Scout visit to an animal shelter in 3rd grade. I currently have five rescues of my own (two dogs, two cats, and a beardie) and I would to meet and help provide care for your fur babies as well! I make sure to provide the same quality of care to your pet as you would. They are our extra, furry family members and deserve to be treated as such, especially when they are excited and waiting to see their people!

About: Hi I'm Alexis and I’ve been a pet sitter for friends and family off and on for the last six years. That means I’ve spent over half a decade figuring out exactly who really runs the house (spoiler: it’s usually the cat). I have spent that time mastering the art of the perfect walk and the "do-not-disturb-me" nap. Neighbors and family have always relied on me because they know I don't just "check in," I actually show up and spend quality time with their pets. My real-world training comes from my own crew. Back home in Washington, I have Me-low, a sweet Golden Retriever I personally trained, and LuLu, a spunky Maltipoo. While I’m at college in Arizona, I share a home with our adopted gray tabby, Bambi. Having a mixed household of my own means I am a pro at balancing high dog energy with clear cat boundaries. What 6 Years of Experience Looks Like: Safety & Security: Whether it is a "Smooth Operator" cat or a dog that is "Born to Run," safety is my #1 priority. I have handled walks in busy areas and know how to keep pets calm around distractions. I am comfortable with all sizes, including 90lb breeds that think they are lap dogs. Cat Confidence: Thanks to Bambi, I am "fluent in cat." I know when they want to play with a feather toy and when they just want to be left alone to judge me from a distance. I respect their space while making sure they are happy and cared for. Specialized Care: I am comfortable following strict feeding schedules and administering oral medications. Whether it is a puppy in training like Me-low was or a senior pet who needs extra patience, I make sure they stay healthy and never skip a beat. Open Communication: I am big on keeping you in the loop. You will get regular photo updates and check-ins so you can see exactly how much fun your babies are having. I know the stress of being away, and I want you to feel at ease from wherever you are. My Promise to You I know how heavy it feels to leave your babies behind. To me, your pet isn't just a "booking"; they are the star of the show. Whether it’s high-energy walks or quiet "golden hour" naps, I promise that for every tail wag they give and every purr they make... I’ll be watching them. I am currently home from college and my schedule is wide open till mid-July. I am available Monday through Sunday for full-time care, walks, and check-ins. Because I am not juggling classes right now, your pets are my main priority. Please note: I will be heading back to Arizona for the upcoming semester between August 13th-22nd, so I am looking for bookings that take place before that move. Until then, I have total flexibility to stick to your specific routine and provide plenty of companionship for your "babies." I provide care exclusively in the client's home, as I do not offer boarding in my own home at this time. This allows your pets to stay in their own comfortable, familiar environment while you are away. When I am in your home, I treat it with the same respect I give my own. I prioritize a "safety-first" environment by doing a quick sweep for anything your pet shouldn't get into and making sure all doors and gates are secure. I am very diligent about leashes and harnesses during walks to prevent any accidents. I believe trust is built through communication. You can expect regular photo updates so you know your pets are safe, happy, and following their normal rhythm. Whether it is keeping a cat's litter area pristine or ensuring a dog gets their exact training commands, I am dedicated to maintaining your home exactly how you like it. If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to ask!
“Mollay kept me up to date on when she would arrive at my house and when she left. She got great pictures of my boy and followed my instructions perfectly! She's the first one I go to for any last minute walks I need.”

“We are so happy we found Evelyn! She was always on time and communicative, and gave Denver lots of TLC while we are at work. We loved getting cute photos and updates. So grateful having her to take care of our furbaby!”

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!

“Courtney was a pleasure to meet. My dog took to her right away. She was not only on time, but a bit early so we could briefly discuss. Courtney has great communication before and after the walk and sent a few photos on his walk. Highly recommend!”

About: Growing up, I’ve always had pets, and my first childhood pet was a cat named Blackie. Later, we added another cat, Oreo, to the family. Around the same time, we welcomed Tank, our German Shepherd/Shar-Pei mix, who became my loyal companion from elementary school through high school. I took care of Tank every day, and he was so sweet and gentle that he even helped people overcome their fear of dogs. When Blackie and Oreo passed, we brought two more cats, Dickie and Roxy, into our family. Over time, Dickie disappeared, and I got another cat, Marley, who had a litter of kittens. We kept one and named her Gracie. Shortly after having her kittens, Marley passed away. Later, I got another cat, Buddy, who eventually ran away. Now, as an adult, I’ve continued my love for pets with my two current cats, Dayz May and Willow, who I care for alongside my boyfriend, a fellow animal lover (especially when it comes to cats). Though my journey with cats has been lifelong, I’ve always had a deep love for dogs. Tank will always hold a special place in my heart, and I jump at any chance to care for dogs, like my aunt’s and mom’s pets. I still get as excited as a child spotting a pony whenever I see a dog, eager to pet, play with, and spoil them. I ensure they’re well-fed, entertained, and happy—because I believe every dog deserves a joyful life. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and dogs especially seem to bond with me quickly. I can’t wait for the opportunity to meet and care for your beloved pet! Currently OPEN to just about anything! I DoorDash on the side so I basically have my own schedule. Tuesdays I watch my little sister(6) after school for a few hours(4-9) but can be flexible. **Our Place:** We have two cats in our small home, so we prefer to care for your pets in their own environment, where they feel safest. **Yours:** When I (Parkre) arrive, I first assess the situation by checking for any accidents, reviewing any notes left, ensuring water is filled, and confirming if food is needed. After this quick check, I take the dogs for a walk to handle potty breaks and playtime. The rest of the day is tailored to your pets' schedules. When my time is up, I always leave the space cleaner than before and your pets happier than ever. Your home is your sanctuary, and I'm here to help keep it that way.

About: I am a military spouse who’s been around dogs of many different breeds all of my life, and currently have 1 puppy. I love long walks, understand dog’s body language, and know that trust goes a long way with our fur babies. I am understanding of how fast schedules can change and can be very flexible. I also love puppy photography so be ready to have an influx of cute pictures of your fur baby ! I’d love the opportunity to meet your dogs and become walking buddies :) I am an online college student who breaks up my weekdays with walks ! I am an active person and try to get my 10,000 steps every day. I am available for breakfast, lunch, and dinners for your fur babies including walks/potty breaks before or after. I have a large fenced in yard and 1 puppy in my home. I am flexible with different types of trainings, do multiple training sessions throughout the day, and offer separate mental stimulation every day. I crate trained my puppy and am willing to help train your fur baby as well.
About: Hi there! I’m Alyssa a dedicated and reliable pet sitter with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals! From playful pups and cuddly cats to majestic horses and even farm animals. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I take great pride in providing loving, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, grooming, administering medications, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I work from home two days a week, and on the other three weekdays, I’m in the office for just four hours at a time. That means I’m never away from the house for more than 5 hours – and I always make time for check-ins, walks, or play breaks before and after any outing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer a secure, pet-friendly environment with a fully fenced large yard, perfect for supervised playtime, fresh air, and plenty of tail wags. Whether your pet loves to run, explore, or just relax in the sunshine, they’ll have the space and freedom to feel right at home. They’ll also be in great company! I have three friendly, well-socialized fur babies of my own who love meeting new pals and help create a warm, welcoming pack vibe. Whether your pet is shy or super social, I always take time to make gentle, supervised introductions to ensure everyone feels safe, happy, and respected. With constant supervision, personalized attention, and a calm home setting, your furry family member will be cared for just like one of my own.
“Even though Simone comes everyday, she always takes A LOT of photos which I greatly appreciate because I get to enjoy knowing my pup’s in good hands and he looks happy on his daily adventures. It’s so fun looking at his daily album of adventures while I’m away. I know Simone treats my pup just like her own and always shares his wins, I can’t highly recommend her enough!”

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.

“Brittainy went above and beyond and I wanted to tip more but rover cut me off at 30%. Cannot say enough good things about letting Brittainy take care of your fur babies!!!”

About: I've worked at kennels before, I have a special needs dog, I get along with all dogs, I've taught my dogs to sit and stay in sign language. I can feed, walk, play with, and medicate dogs. I even used to sleep with my Pixie because she has epilepsy and I could wake up and medicate her during her seizures. I would walk my dogs every day with a backpack full of treats, doggy bags, and water. I took ASL for 2 years in high school, so I can communicate with deaf customers and deaf doggies. I'm a bit out of practice, but I can definitely get by in a conversation. I love all furry and four legged creatures and I hope to be walking yours! I'm currently mom to 3 cats (and one gecko). I've been a cat owner since childhood and have had dogs in the past as well as experience working in kennels. Pet care is my life. I love my furry kids and I'd love to work with yours. I'm very available and flexible for your pets needs. I'm widely available right now and would love to fill my spare time with caring for pets, whether it is walks, drop ins, or an overnight. I should be able to adapt to most requests and understand life can get weird, so I accept same day bookings or same day cancellations at least for walks and drop ins, should also be fine for overnights. I don't think I've met a fur baby I can't make friends with and every booking or request from a friend has been an absolute joy. I promise they'll be well loved in my care.

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: Hi! I’m an experienced pet lover who worked at a pet store for a year and has spent years dog sitting and walking for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like my own. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine since I currently pet sit full time. I plan my days around each pet’s schedule, including walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, ensuring they get consistent attention and care. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and routine. For house sitting, I keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get exercise or bathroom breaks, and feel cared for while you’re away. During dog walks, I focus on safe, engaging walks that match your dog’s energy level. I always prioritize safety, communication, and making pets feel relaxed and happy.

Alyssa was wonderful with our dog! Our dog can be pretty wary of strangers, but Alyssa’s calm demeanor, patience, and understanding really helped her feel comfortable quickly. She didn’t seem fazed at all by our dog’s hesitation and gave her the time and space she needed to warm up. We will absolutely book with Alyssa again!
There is a reason why Briaunna has so many raving reviews. She not only walks my dog but trains him along the way. She takes charge of the walk, gets him walking to get that puppy energy out and instructs my puppy on how to walk while providing praise when he does a good job. He always looks forward to seeing her and has no problem leaving me at the door :) Briaunna is highly dependable and communicates extremely well, not only for booking but if he is doing better at walking in general or any feedback she makes sure to mention which I appreciate.
