“My name is Porgi the Corgi and I love my new friend Karen! She took me to my favorite playground; PLU campus. She can keep up with me better than my mahm's wheelchair. I'm super happy and ready for afternoon naps! Oh, yeah, mummy likes her, too. Kind, fun, friendly, and all kinds of nice words. ?”


“Savina did a great job walking our dog while we were out for the day. We came home to a worn out and happy pup! We had peace of mind knowing Savina was watching over our baby. We recommend Savina and will book her for future walks!”


About: I am currently a stay at home mom. I have previous experience pet sitting for Rover.com beginning the Summer of 2016 until the Winter of 2017. I have 2 years experience volunteering at the Spokane Humane Society. My tasks there included playing with, walking, and caring for dogs ages ranging from puppy to adult, as well as doing laundry and playing with the cats. Since I was a kid I have always been around animals, specifically cats and dogs. My experience in pet care comes from pet sitting for close friends & family as well as my experiences at The Humane Society! I also have access and can provide services to JBLM. You should choose me as your sitter because I am a huge animal lover! Since I am a stay at home mom, I have ample time and a flexible schedule to assist with any pet care needs. Depending on time and day my 10 month old son may be joining me on my back in his baby carrier. I will respect you home and love your pet(s). While I am there I have no problem collecting mail, watering plants, taking out trash, etc as well.

“Alicia was very flexible and understanding! She had great communication, fast reply times, and sent a lot of cute pictures! Even though we just hired her to walk Bella she showed our cat love as well. We would definitely trust her with the care of both our girls again in the future!”


About: I have taken care of pets for many years. I am patient with pets. I communicate well with pet owners. Animals are my passion, their care and comfort always comes before my own. I recently moved to Tacoma from Los Angeles, California, and currently have a completely open schedule. I can work with your needs to find a schedule that works for you. I can adapt to any house environment and have your pet feel comfortable with me around. I will walk your dogs shift and keep a routine cycle.


“Rachel took great care of our pup with daily walks this week! She was caring with our dog, proactive on a rainy day to ask for towels, she took great pics (not that that was a priority) and followed our instructions to a T! We won’t hesitate to ask for her in the future!”


“I have been using Allison’s Dog walking services since February and I am so happy we chose her! Ali is extremely responsive and willing to help. She has always been very reliable with stellar customer service. Jazzy gets very excited about her walks. I know that Ali takes as good of loving care of our Jazzy as we do. I highly recommend Ali!!”

About: With over 40 years of experience caring for pets, I bring a deep understanding and genuine respect for all animals. I currently have a senior dog, fish and chickens. Over the years I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets including dogs, cats, small rodents, fish, reptiles, birds, and even insects. I have experience caring for senior dogs, providing daily wound care, administering oral medication, and assisted potty breaks. I have worked with and rehabilitated rescue dogs who required 24-hour supervision, guiding them with gentle reassurance and love so they could learn to trust humans again and enjoy their new lives. Dog parents have trusted me to care for their pets while they were on vacation or attending all day events even before I began using the Rover app. No matter your pet’s needs, you can feel confident they’ll be in capable hands while you are away, and that they’ll be happy and loved in my care. While I stay busy with some community activities, I have a flexible schedule allowing me to dedicate focused, loving care to every pet I look after. Whether I am pet sitting in your home or boarding your pet at my own home, you can feel confident that your pet will be safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Dogs and other domestic pets of all ages, shapes, and sizes have been a part of my life since I was a young child growing up in rural Kansas, and I truly believe they are a family member. They can be therapeutic and loving towards you in ways you didn't know you needed. Please consider me to help not only care for your dog/pet but to also show them some love and gratitude while in my presence. I am currently a stay-at-home mom while my boys are in elementary and middle school. I will have the most time to care for your pets during the day while my kids are in school, as well as sometimes late afternoon and evening depending on after school activities. I have a fenced in yard but do live on Joint Base Lewis McChord, located on the North Fort side. The yard is well-maintained with natural grass and plenty of space to run around. I have one dog that gets along well with others and loves to have play dates. He is older so he likes to take naps and enjoy the sunshine!

About: I’ve always been an animal lover. When I returned to Washington in 2013, my roommate, who had show dogs, taught me how to raise them for two years. I’m a dog enthusiast through and through, and life feels incomplete without a furry companion by my side. Currently, I’m unemployed and studying for my real estate license exam, so I have ample time to dedicate to my furry friends. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate any pet’s needs. When I take my furry family for walks, I ensure we both wear high-visibility gear so that everyone knows I’m carrying precious cargo. I’m also a vlogger, and I love sharing memorable moments with all my furry mates..

“Kacie was a true treasure, she was always been on time, totally reliable. Being a medical traveler with random shifts it isn’t easy to find someone that is willing to do different hours and days. The dogs love her and I will continue using her services as long as I am in this area.”

About: Hi! I'm Rori, your local dog sitting, walking, and treat feeding expert. I love all puppers spunky personalities- whether they like to burrow in your bed (like my dachshunds), hold the leash in their mouth on walks, or even bark when they want attention. My favorite part about coming home after a day at work (or even after five minutes) is when you first see your dog and they wiggle or squeal with excitement. I am very flexible with my availability, and I understand that sometimes life gets in the way and you may need someone at the last minute. I am very responsive and I will look after your fur-baby like it is my own. Whether you're tied up with work or need a weekend getaway, I will be available to help with all your doggie needs. I am passionate about my job, and it also allows me to be flexible. If I’m watching your furry friend during the work week, I can let them out every 3-4 hours. On the weekends, I am extremely flexible. I will ensure your dog is walked every day and is taken care of. My schedule is flexible. I also have no problem communicating with my clients if we need to come up with a solution to watching their animals in regards to dates/times to make your trip less stressful. We do not have a fenced backyard, but I have no problem taking your dog outside on a leash for potty time. I also like to walk at least two times a day (morning and evening) to get your dog outside. I do not have a problem using a crate- but you need to provide the bed/crate etc. so that your dog is comfortable in a new environment.

About: I have loved dogs my whole life but have never had one of my own. Because of this, I’ve become the go-to guy for all my friends’ dogsitting needs. I spent 2020 as a professional dog walker in Boston and fine tuned my skills at handling multiple dogs at a time. I have picked up training skills and also enjoy taking photos of my furry friends! Additionally, I have cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Every dog is different in how much attention or exercise they need and I’m always ready to adapt to best take care of them. I love getting to know dogs and their unique personalities and I hope I can get to know yours too! While I may be a dog person, I love all animals and have met my share of cool cats so please consider me to care for all kinds of fur babies. I’m currently caring for two golden doodles, Muffin & Brandy, for the summer. If you ask them, we have a great routine of food, sleep and play! I know every pet has specific needs and I am always looking to meet those so they can live their best lives. I’m capable of handling dogs with high energy levels or chill out with kitties that just want to snooze. I’m always vigilant as well since I know our pals can sometimes be sneaky.

About: Hello! My name is Merryn, I am 22 and a college student. I have been sitting for and walking dogs for about 10 years. I love animals, and have experience caring for puppies, dogs, and cats. The safety and happiness of your furry friend is paramount. I am punctual, responsible, respectful, communicative, and kind. I’m currently on summer break from college, taking only one class so I have ample time to care for pets and spend some quality time with them! With your instruction, I will care for your furry friend exactly how you want. Safety is my priority. I am communicative and ask a lot of questions to make sure my service is ideal.

Angela F.
“I have known Angie for years and trust her implicitly with my dog. She is kind and loving yet she’s also good with verbal commands and getting even stubborn dogs to pay attention to her. She just has this energy about her. My dog loves her and my dog is very timid with people, but she gets very excited every time she gets to see Angie. Angie is very good about making sure that dogs get proper exercise. She is very good about adhering to any dietary needs. She’s also great at taking care of any medical emergency that may arise with your pet along with giving medications, wound dressing or whatever medical needs your dog may have. She is very familiar with caring for geriatric animals as well. I never have to worry about leaving my dog with her. She’s grounded, responsible and kind.”


Elizabeth R.
“Beth has always been an animal lover having had dogs, cats, and rabbits from the time she was a young child. One of the rabbits she had used to come in the house and hop up into the chairs so you can definitely see it was spoiled. When she was only about 12 years old, she helped our mother dog deliver a large litter of puppies (about 12 of them I believe) and then bottle fed the smaller ones that needed more milk and attention due to the large litter, including calling our vet on the phone for assistance. She always played with the cats at her grandma's farm and a few years later took in a cat that needed a home due to allergies of the current owner. The cat went everywhere she did even after she was married and traveled with them back and forth for long visits due to her husband being in the military. It can be difficult to have pets when you're in the military and they took in their current dog Max when his military owner was being transferred. She always provides a loving hands-on environment for her pets. I have no doubt she will make a great addition to the Rover.com family.”


Halston H.
“When Halston visits my roommate when I'm at work, he always makes sure my dog Misha is let outside to go potty. He is not only loving and attentive to her but his dog as well. Halston is punctual , thoughtful and puts in one hundred percent in everything he does. I know he'll make an awesome pet caregiver!”


Kacie V.

“Kacie was a true treasure, she was always been on time, totally reliable. Being a medical traveler with random shifts it isn’t easy to find someone that is willing to do different hours and days. The dogs love her and I will continue using her services as long as I am in this area.”
