“Sierra is a dog whisperer. I met with her prior to starting weekly drop in visits. I was concerned that my rescue chi who is very anxious wouldn’t be thrilled about a new person coming into our home, as she hasn’t been with the last few people I’ve interviewed. But I was wrong! She calmed within minutes and Sierra was even able to pick her up and take her to the backyard. My chug absolutely adores her and I have peace of mind while I’m at work or out of town. Thank you Sierra!”


About: I grew up on a farm taking care of animals my whole life, and I’ve also worked at several doggie daycares, a vet clinic and a rescue. I have also done pet sitting on the side and I have experience owning rodents like hamsters, ferrets etc. When it comes to animals there isn’t a lot I won’t do! I’m currently unemployed, so I can work around your schedule and your needs! My only commitments are my own pets, but again I can work around your schedule. When caring for pets in your home I’ll play with them, take them potty, feed them, give them water or medication etc. anything your furry friend needs!

“Andrea has now taken care of our dog multiple times, I can travel for a few days and know my dog is being taken care of thanks to her. I know there are other options but I can guarantee you that you won't be disappointed when choosing Andrea!”


“Isabelle did a wonderful job taking care of my cat. I will definitely be booking with her again. I felt very confident in her abilities due to her direct and open communication, her connection with my cat, and her conscientiousness.”


“Cindy is absolutely amazing with my cat Louie. She goes above and beyond for his drop in visits. He is usually a touch-me-not for most people, but he seems to really enjoy Cindy's company. She spends the visits petting him and just "being there" with him. I believe it gives him great comfort while I am away from home. Thank you Cindy. You rock!”

About: I’ve always wanted a dog since I was little and when I finally got one, i’ve never felt so content with how life was. I had a companion that I came home to and someone to share life’s adventures with as well. I would say I grew up very gentle and caring for not only pets but with people and even babies. I’ve had my dog named Kona for 2 years now and she is the most sweetest puppy ever. I am currently serving in the Military Active Duty. I’m stationed here in Fort Lewis. My hours are from 6am-3pm so anytime after that i’m available. On the weekends, I am available anytime. I’m planning on going home during the summer before we leave for training and I need a few extra money to help me pay for my ticket, and I thought that Rover would be amazing because I love dogs and it fits in my schedule. So unfortunately I am not able to take home any dogs to my house because I live on base. I am however able to pet sit at the owners house if they feel comfortable. I am a very energetic person and I would always play with my dogs and even my neighbors dogs. I am very cautious so if anything is wrong then I’ll be sure to catch on. I can provide care and love and attention to your pet whenever they need.

About: I have watched neighbor’s and friend's pets both long term and short term. I love animals but unfortunately can’t have them in my rental. I look forward to spending time with, and bonding with your buddy! I currently work full time but would be available in the mornings and overnight as well as my days off which vary. I would be happy to stop by occasionally or stay a while. Whatever works for you and your pet! I would love to care for your pet and make them and you feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I am comfortable supervising inside and out, cleaning up after them, playing lots, and taking them on long walks.

About: I've grown up with animals , guinea pigs , fish and a dog. So I've been around them my whole life. Which taught me a lot. Well I'm getting on here to be more of a dog walker so I'd be doing this more in the afternoon. That would make sure I can give all of my attention. What's most important is take make sure the dog feels comfortable, make sure there hydrated, give them attention, some food and a nap to replenish after the day.
