“Thank you so much for loving our Hugo! I truly appreciate the daily updates with pics and knowing that he started to feel “at home.” Will definitely call you again in the future. 👌”

“I couldn’t be happier with the love and care she provided for my baby while I was out of country. Highly recommend her for pet boarding. She’s amazing and will use her again for all future boarding. Very happy and grateful for her service.”

“Leanne’s level of care is exquisite. Her skills with a dog with leash aggression, and love of food was navigated beautifully. Her heart was immediately recognized by both me and my sweet dog. ARWEN felt immediately at home and got toys out of the toy box, drank water and jumped on the couch to be near Leanne. Erin is quite the couch potato, but Leanne got her out on walks every day, introduced her to the neighborhood, horses, and cats( (at a safe distance.) she sent wonderful photos and updates and I felt completely at ease to enjoy my international travel without concern for my dogs’s well-being. It was actually very hard for them to part ways. Very sweet connection. I would recommend Leanne for any of your precious dog’s needs.”


“Jerrie is the best!! She is loving and kind. She maintains communication with text messages and photos of the dog while in her care. Our dog, Hazel, loves to be with her and enjoys the atmosphere. We felt at peace while on vacation knowing Jerrie was caring for Hazel as if her own.”

“Mandy is very caring towards our dog. We've used her more than once. She's conscientious and attentive. Plus she has a dog of her own who was a good playmate!”

“Michael is my hero! I was desperate for someone to care for my nervous, separation-anxiety prone Cane Corso when a planned house sitting by my daughter had to be cancelled two days before my scheduled surgery and subsequent hospitalization due to her contracting COViD. Michael answered and came to my rescue almost immediately after I sent the request. I cannot thank him enough for his responsiveness and skill at handling my big baby boy. He quite literally has helped me to save my leg. He was a blessing in my time of need. I cannot say enough good things about Michael, nor do I have the words to express how extremely grateful I am for him. I'd give him 10 stars if I could.”


“Bobbie was great with our pups. She kept us updated and sent daily pics of the boys out for a walk or hanging out around the house. The seemed quite happy and comfortable with Bobbie and her husband Joseph. I would definitely recommend Bobbie and I plan to reach out the next time we need a doggy sitter.”

“Angela was fantastic. Our beagle (‘Buddy’) was on his own after his partner in crime (‘Frank’) passed away on Easter. We were going out of town and needed someone reliable to look after him. We couldn’t be more pleased. Will enlist Angela’s services next time we need him boarded.”

About: Pet sitting has been an unexpected passion in my life. While I have no pets of my own right now, I was the proud parent of a headstrong boxer for ten years and grew up with both dogs and cats. Originally part of a two person team, I've been a pet sitter for over three years. Now I'm back to sitting solo, with the benefit of being able to provide 1-on-1 attention to your dogs and cats. I work from home 3 days a week, with the flexibility to stay home every day based on the needs of your pet. I'm able to offer at least two long walks a day, or more depending on what your pet is used to. I enjoy getting out and hiking on the weekends, so if that's something your dog would enjoy, I can make it happen! I have a fully fenced in backyard, quiet and enclosed and away from other people and traffic. There's sun, shade, and dry spots to watch the rain. I'm able to leave my door open and let them come and go from the yard as they please, all while keeping a constant eye on them from my home office.
“We boarded our dog Rizzo with Pamela for the holidays and she was so well taken care of. I couldn’t have asked for more. Pamela had excellent communication and provided pictures throughout her stay. We will be booking in the future!!”

“We are so happy we found James, he was great with our malamute, has an amazing fenced yard, flexible with our schedule, and has great energy! Will be booking again soon for sure!”
“I left my Sheltie "Button" with Desiree for an overnight stay. The experience was excellent from start to finish. We held a meet and greet a few days before where I could see the yard and areas where Button would stay. Communication during the stay was excellent with photos/updates and I appreciated the time flexibility for drop-off and pickup. Overall a five-star experience. Highly recommended. Thanks Desiree.”

“Momo was relaxed when we picked him up, which is not his normal mode outside of our family. Andrew and Mariah were very communicative and professional. Very much appreciate them!”

“Thank you Cale for taking such great care of King and Star! I appreciate the daily photos and updates to let me know how the day went. I also appreciate all the love and care that you provided to my dogs while I was away.”

“Jeremy was beyond amazing! His prices were affordable &his family welcomed to big Dobermans into his household that have a lot of energy! He will definitely be our trusted dog sitter here in the DuPont area!”

Tumwater dog parents share their Rover experiences
Wonderful as always! I’m so grateful for Lauren’s flexibility and the amazing care she gives my pup. My work schedule is pretty unpredictable, and she’s consistently dependable and accommodating with any requests I’ve had. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Jess is in such good hands.

We are so thankful to have found someone reliable we can trust to watch our little guy. With previous sitters, our doodle would come back anxious and on edge. With Bobbie, he is always calm and happy both going to and leaving, and we just can’t recommend her enough.
