“Brooklyn is awesome! She is consistent, sweet with my dog, quick to respond and so trust worthy! She will be requested anytime help with our doggo is needed!”

“I highly recommend having Paul watch your family pet. My little Ava fell in love with him. He was thorough in his visits, gave so much affection to Ava, sent photos on walks, playing outside, and just relaxing on the sofa. This was her first Rover experience and it was magnificent. Thank you Paul!”

“Jenna was a fantastic sitter for our cats! She was flexible, communicated well, and took great care of our little kitties. Both cats have such different personalities and Jenna was able to meet their needs so well. We came home to happy and calm cats. Thank you Jenna!”
About: I love pretty much all animals, I grew up in the country with cats, chickens & rabits. I've raised & trained two dogs from puppyhood into their senior years, and I'm currently dad/step-dad to three cats. I've watched my friends dogs, which range from tiny & nervous to big & boisterous, there are few puppers & kitters I cannot handle. I lead with a calm, assertive demeanor, respecting boundaries & anxieties, while ensuring they receive the care they need. I'm currently on the hunt for a full-time position in this though job market. For the time being, I will mostly be available all day/evening, all days of the week. I can tailor the care provided to your pet with whatever reasonable accomodations they need. Got an 80lbs lab that won't walk down the stairs? I'll cary him! Got a lil' yapper that hates the cat in the window down the street? We won't walk there! I'm happy to work with you and your babies to make you confident they're in good hands. A previous client had me walk their 80lb & 120lb reactive rescue dogs. While they gave me a good workout every time, I was able to handle every reaction & pull to ensure everyone's safety (I always wore shoes with extra grip when walking them, for good measure).
“Loved having Hope care for our pup. She did 4 drop-in visits with feedings, walks. Gave us welcome feedback on the pup, who seemed well cared-for. Hope was easy to work with, friendly & personable, reliable. She even noticed an unplanned delivery & brought it in for us. Would recommend her with no hesitation!”

About: With 17 years of hands-on pet care experience, my top priority is creating a safe, loving, and comfortable home-away-from-home for your dog. Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, and caring for dogs is something I do with joy, patience, and genuine heart. As a teacher, nurturing is in my nature. I bring that same dedication to supporting my students into caring for every pet that steps into my home; ensuring your dog feels secure, understood, and truly cared for during their stay. **Doggy Daycare** I offer doggy daycare 4pm-12am Monday through Friday and ALL day on Saturday and Sunday. I will be home during this time and can offer potty breaks every 0-2 hours. **Summer Break: July 12th - September 4th I’ll be home and able to offer potty breaks every 0-2 hours for boarding. ** **Boarding** I teach full-time Monday–Friday, so I can offer potty breaks every 7hrs during the week. Afternoons and weekends, I offer potty breaks every 0-2hrs, dog walks, playtime in the backyard, and extra bonding time. My home is designed to make dogs feel relaxed and welcome. I keep routines predictable and peaceful, giving your pup the comfort of stability while you’re away. I have experience with dogs requiring special/strict diets and oral medication.
“Arianna was great! She dropped in on a consistent and reliable schedule (even through the holidays) and spent more than her required time with our cats. She made sure both pets got plenty of attention. We got up to date photos and comments about every visit. Definitely will rebook!!”
“Minh was great dropping in a couple times to check in with our pups while we were out all day for an event. We really appreciated the updates and absolutely loved the photos and videos of our pups. We can tell how much they loved her! We would definitely consider booking Minh again in the future! I know our dogs would love to see her again. Thank you soooo much Minh!”

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. I have walked and watched hundreds of dogs from the big to the little. I have a very flexible schedule and can work with the pups on an individual basis as well. I enjoy taking dogs to the park right up the block giving them plenty of time to sniff, explore and run off their energy. I’ll treat you dog as my own with love attention and some of their favorite snacks. Open flexible availability depending on your needs and my work from home schedule. I can pick dogs up and take them to the park or walk them in the neighborhood. Drop ins and feedings are available as needed. I enjoy training and working with dogs and their owners needs. I currently have a very well behaved and sweet puggle that would love the company.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life—dogs, cats, and even small animals—so providing loving care for animals is second nature to me. I began pet and house sitting through Rover in the summer of 2025, and I bring a lifetime of experience as a responsible and compassionate caregiver. As a seasoned educator, I’m deeply attuned to the needs of others—both human and animal! I know how to create calm, safe, and nurturing environments, and I approach each pet with patience, kindness, and respect for their unique personalities and routines. I’m especially mindful of the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and care for your pets. I bring that responsibility seriously and with gratitude. Whether your pets need a cozy companion, a gentle walk, or a calm presence while you’re away, I’m here to help them feel loved and secure. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which means your pets will get plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. My meetings are all virtual and can be scheduled around the needs of your pets and home. I also don’t have small children, so I’m able to keep a calm and focused environment that’s ideal for pets who need consistency, affection, or extra care. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or simply being a steady presence, I’m available and attentive to your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize creating a safe, peaceful, and familiar environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I know how important it is for pets to stay in their routine, especially while you're away, so I do my best to follow your instructions closely and treat your space with the utmost respect. I take time to build trust with each animal, moving at their pace and tuning into their needs—whether that’s extra playtime, a quiet companion, or lots of snuggles. I also keep in regular communication with you, so you can feel confident that your home and beloved pets are in good hands. Your pets’ safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m honored to provide dependable care in the place they know best—home.

“Adam was great with our cats! He took great care of them and was very patient with our cat who tends to hide under the bed around strangers. He also sent lots of wonderful pictures. Highly recommended.”

“Rachel is wonderful with our kitty. She is communicative and considerate. She tries to play with Stormy, gives her treats, feeds her, and cleans up after her, and is a great relief that we have her to pet sit when we go out of town. I’d highly suggest her.”

Tacoma dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kayla is absolutely fantastic! This was our first time utilizing rover and she made the experience so easy and stress free! She is very sweet, honest and transparent. We would get constant updates and pictures, even bonus tips on our pet. We will definitely contact Kayla again!

We’ve been working with Juli for several years now. Although we only ask her to come by intermittently, she is always our first choice. We trust her completely with our fur family. She’s an excellent communicator and completely dependable. One of the things we like the best is her comprehensive and detailed report cards and she takes lots of pictures. Juli is an absolute pro and we really appreciate her!

Loved having Hope care for our pup. She did 4 drop-in visits with feedings, walks. Gave us welcome feedback on the pup, who seemed well cared-for.
