“Kim is always great with my pets they are both shy and they’ve warmed right up to her. Kim provides lots of photos so I can always feel good about how they are doing. I will always highly recommend her for any dog or cat care!”
“I booked Alexys for a drop in visit for our Morkie. She requested to drop by the day prior to meet our dog. I thought this was great and it gave me a chance to meet her and show her around his area and where all of his things would be. On the day she came for the drop in visit, she let me know when she arrived and left. She also sent pics and gave me an update on the visit. She’s very sweet and you can just see that she’s great with animals. I’ll definitely book her again in the future!”
“Alivia is awesome! This is the second time she’s taken care of our cats and they absolutely love her. Even our extra skiddish girl feels comfortable with Alivia. We sleep easy on trips knowing someone so great is taking care of our kitties!”
“Ashley was a wonderful cat-sitter! She was a great communicator and gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I would 100% recommend Ashley to anyone in the Pensacola area looking for someone to take care of their pets.”
“Such a relief to find someone that is professional, caring, and had a great connection with my Bingo. She went above and beyond to adjust her schedule last minute to accommodate us”

“Branden took excellent care of our senior dog and our two cats. Our dog is not often left behind, so we were concerned about how she'd do now that she's older, but Branden had her relaxed and happy, and she did great. The cats always do great with him - lots of fun, lots of great photos. Thank you Branden!”
“Nicole has been like a second cat mom to our two rag doll kitties. I book her every single time we go on a trip. She is the best. I feel so at ease when I know Nicole will be caring for our girls while we are away. She brings them treats, brushes them, and even puts on their "favorite program" (Cat TV). Nicole always leaves our house clean, and refreshes all the food and water bowls. She goes above and beyond for us and our kitties. We appreciate her so much, and highly highly recommend her!”
About: FALL 2026. OCT-DEC Boardings: Open. Especially Holidays. Pick Up and Drop Off: Open. See my boarding schedule. Recurring Walks: After Nov 1, 4/4 Slots Open. Direct Booking: Request at least 1 night ahead. One-time Walks, Meet and Greets: Open. See my walk schedule. SCHEDULE Ask or check online. Photo journals, methods, and consents are online too, by requests. BACKGROUND My own business primarily uses group walks to build trust, socialize dogs, and normalize habits. Many dogs I board I also walk weekly in groups, so we have high trust. ABOUT ME I'm socially neurodivergent. Lots of sincerity, very little small talk. I think in feelings, so when survival mode fades over the months and your dog's own personality comes out, their feelings catch me and some reports turn into a poem. This also means I'm not the type to sell myself. Reach out for any services you may want. I'm home and board dogs full-time. I also work part time as a computer programmer when not walking dogs. I can code either inside the house in various rooms, or outside on the covered patio. I rarely leave home for more than a few hours at a time. I'm available for meet and greets, and amenable to pickup and drop-off for boardings. I share the house with one roommate who keeps to their room mostly and is good with dogs. I can board up to 4 dogs at a time. If a dog needs its own dedicated space? I have a bedroom-office that opens straight onto the backyard. Doors close it off from the rest of the house. I can stay and sleep in that room during their visit. The other socialized dogs then have use of the rest of the house. For any emergencies, I use Chambers Creek Veterinary Hospital. Open 24/7 and within 10 minutes. Wood floors throughout, put in with boarding in mind. No shoes inside. Temperature and humidity gauge at floor level to maintain comfortable conditions. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. Dog beds in most rooms and on the patio. I have one large and one small dog crate, though I don't find a need for them often. Fully fenced backyard with shade, grass for lounging and sniffing, and sticks for chewing. Floors swept daily. Vacuumed and mopped a few times per week. Disinfecting wipes used for any messes. I have a jumbo washer and dryer, both with steam settings that disinfect. Dog beds, blankets, and toys are washed and steamed between stays, and even during when needed. The yard is picked up daily. My dog Vesper is a dachshund-beagle mix, 11 years old, 22 lbs, spayed. She used to be neurotic and now wiggles all the time. A veteran of more boardings and group walks than I can count. Her strong habits and bond with me help set the pace for new dogs. She is current on rabies thru 2028, DAPP and Bordetella, plus monthly flea/tick/heartworm.
About: Being a dog owner is a constant source of joy and responsibility. The day begins with the enthusiastic welcome of a wagging tail, setting a positive tone. Daily walks are not just exercise but moments of exploration, where every leaf and lamppost become sources of fascination. Mealtime is a celebration, with the rhythmic sound of a tail thumping against the floor. Regular grooming sessions, from brushing to occasional baths, are a shared experience that reinforces our bond. The unconditional love and loyalty reflected in those soulful eyes make the effort of dog care a rewarding and heartwarming commitment. While my days may lack the physicality of a routine, assisting pet owners like you is a constant in my virtual realm. I'm here to offer timely advice on feeding schedules, grooming practices, exercise routines, and any other aspect of pet care you seek guidance on. Think of me as your virtual companion, ready to help integrate the well-being of your furry friends seamlessly into your daily or weekly schedule. Whether it's a quick tip or a detailed plan, I'm just a message away, ensuring that pet care aligns harmoniously with your life. Caring for pets in a home is a harmonious blend of responsibility and joy. It begins with creating a cozy space, where their bed becomes a sanctuary and their favorite toys add a playful touch. Daily routines include nourishing meals, regular walks, and moments of interactive play that forge a strong bond. Grooming sessions become a ritual of care, ensuring their coats shine and nails stay trim. Beyond the basics, it's the shared moments on the couch or a reassuring pat that make a home truly pet-friendly. In every wag of the tail and purr of contentment, the art of caring for pets transforms a house into a haven filled with love and companionship.
About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m a Midwest girl originally from Chicago who now calls the beautiful Pacific Northwest home! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I couldn’t imagine life without them! As a proud pet parent to two dogs and two cats, I understand just how much our furry companions mean to us. I also have firsthand experience caring for senior pets, so I know the importance of patience, attentiveness, and a little extra TLC as our furry friends get older. Whether your pup loves long walks, outdoor adventures, or simply curling up for some cuddles, I’m happy to accommodate their individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and of course, I’m a huge cat lover, too! I’m friendly, dependable, flexible, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving, attentive hands. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! 🐶🐱💕 My schedule is pretty flexible and happy to work with many schedules. Just shoot me a message and we can figure something out. Let’s chat! I am currently not caring for pets in my home as I have a small apartment with 4 pets already. I am happy to care for pets in their own home, and follow their normal schedule. I am very accommodating and súper flexible. Let’s chat!
About: Growing up my family had a yellow lab and many members of my extended family also had dogs. As I got older and became independent, I would dog sit for my families’ pets. The dog sizes range from small dogs to bigger dogs and at various stages of their lives. I now live with my boyfriend who has a Great Pyrenees and a Goldendoodle. When dog sitting, I enjoy taking them out on walks, playing in the yard, and cuddling. I just moved to Tacoma and am still job hunting, and while that requires a lot of time, my days are free and flexible to meet you and your dog’s needs. I am good at following directions and can adapt to your dog. I have taken care of a senior dog where he required medicine at meal times. I enjoy taking walking with the dogs and giving them lots of attention.
“Katey was great with my cat Douglas Fur! He took to her right away and now they are fast friends. She was prompt, kind, attentive and easy to work with. I will definitely be using Katey to take good care of Doug in the future!”
About: NEW FOR SUMMER 2025: I am briefly opening up a couple of spots for a few new regular boarding/daycare clients. Your pup absolutely MUST get along with other dogs. I care for your dog alongside my own 3 pups in my home, not a kennel, so no barkers and only non-confrontational dogs due to open concept setting. Other arrangements can be made in advance for those who may have special needs. Background: I have owned and joyfully cared for animals all of my life and I have successfully been house/pet/farm sitting fulltime for since 2018 with dozens of great references. I have had the pleasure of caring for 1 week old bottle fed baby kittens all the way to senior large breed dogs with mobility issues on hospice. Previously I have ridden and trained jumping horses for several years and I now have a very small breeding operation at my new farm in Olalla. As a kid, I grew up working weekends on my grandpa's farm with cows, goats, sheep, and chickens. My favorite job ever was when I worked at my friend's very busy pet grooming shop. It goes without saying, I have worked with many species, and an expansive assortment of breeds, sizes, and personalities of furry friends. Animals have been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember and currently, I enjoy volunteering and fostering for animal rescue efforts in the PNW. Please do not hesitate to contact for more information and if special requests are needed for your pets. I also accept large farm animal sitting/care for an additional cost. I work remote full time so I am home with the animals for the majority of the day. I have a somewhat flexible schedule and can cater to your pets as needed. I have 2 active boxers and goofy great dane who love to play with our guests but they are also happy lounging around and napping if that's more your dog's speed. I have large fenced yard for dogs with doggy door access during the day, and I'm in the process of upgrading the perimeter fencing on my 2.4 acre property. The dogs have lots of room to play!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sunshine Beach
My senior dog was recently diagnosed with diabetes and I was deep in my feels about it. I worried about him constantly, didn't leave the house for a week so I could be with him, and worried I'd never find a sitter willing to give him injections. I was tossing and turning at night thinking about how our life was going to change significantly if I couldn't leave the house overnight or go on vacation without worrying about him. I finally reached out to Dana & Brandon and they were incredibly kind, chill, and understanding. It was a HUGE weight lifted off my heart and mind when they said they were experienced with it themselves, and during our sit, they said the injection went great with zero issues. I can't tell them how much their relaxed response and expert care and knowledge truly helped me process a big scary change in my senior dog's life. I am so so relieved to know when they can come see him, he is well taken care of and I dont have to worry.
Kaelyn was great with 'things that came up', such as time changes for us both. We had a lot of communication, which I very much appreciate. Our littlest one was SO happy, playful, relaxed - it is easy to tell from the photos that she got to do all of her favorite things, and she loved on Kaelyn. She was super loving when we came home. Everything was clean and in its proper place.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
