“Lauren was so attentive and informative when she would drop in to tend to our dogs when I was out of town for 2 days! The updates were thorough and she and the dogs seems to get a long just fine! I will definitely reach out to her again to watch my dogs anytime!”

About: Hey there, my name's Beka and I love critters of all shapes and sizes! Pups hold a special place in my heart. I raised and trained several dogs growing up, and I've spent a lot of time petsitting breeds of various sizes and energy levels throughout the years. That work has included care for litters of young pit puppies, sitting and assisting in the training of a deaf Australian shepherd pup, plus walking dogs of all ages and providing more laid back companionship to elderly canines. I'm comfortable and competent administering medicine and eager to learn the individual needs of your dog. Currently, I live a house with 3 cats and a frog. Other animals I've 'sat' include cats, rats, snakes, and chickens. There's no critter I wouldn't want to meet! Currently I work part time as a Barista and have mostly open availability Sunday through Thursday. If you work long office hours and need someone to get your pal out to stretch their legs, we could be a great fit! Please note that on workdays (thru-sat) I am not available 7:30am-4pm. I take a conscientious approach to house and pet sitting. Your home is your personal space and it's important to me that you feel respected.
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats on a farm, so I have lots of experience with animals of varying ages and needs. I am consistent with medications and have experience caring for senior or ailing animals. I have a pretty free schedule save for Mondays and Tuesdays, in which I will be in Puyallup for a job! I work an on-call job Wednesday-Saturday but at this moment I am not very busy. I am always free in the evenings and early mornings. I do not offer at-home services due to owning an elderly cat, however I have experience with house sitting for families with dogs and/or cats. I will give your pet all the love and attention they wish for, but I also know when to give them space. I am also used to working with high-maintenance pets. I know all the good spots for a walk and my car is large enough to fit most animals, so I can take them for vet visits or to a park.
“Helena did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. She is dedicated to making sure all aspects of their needs are met and she goes the extra mile. I especially appreciate the time she spent getting to know both of them. I have a very shy one and she was able to interact with him much more than I expected. She is also a great communicator. I definitely recommend her!”
“Vanessa is a great communicator, trustworthy, and took excellent care of our dogs without any issue. She handled their complicated social needs well and made us feel at ease while we were out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Jed was very professional and helpful with our pups. He kept us updated on the status of them when he went over to let them out. Thank you so much for the help.”
“Yvonne was nothing but wonderful! She exceeded all expectations I had, and went above and beyond with my pups all while showing the utmost respect for myself and my home. Clear and effective communication, would recommended her to anyone and plan on using her services again in the future :)”
“Maddy is wonderful! My dog absolutely loves her. She’s thoughtful, thorough, and leaves no trace behind. Her communication is stellar, and she takes care to secure the house every time. Reliable and punctual. She shows up like clockwork. Friendly, caring, and completely dependable. Highly recommend!”
About: Since childhood I’ve enjoyed being around all pets and animals. I pet sit and house sit for friends and neighbors regularly. I work from home. I provide Reiki as well. If they want to go for a fun walk, swim, park or chill out snuggling then I’m flexible. Many dogs and cats that have a hard time socializing, eating, anxiety, I find ways to connect. My goal is to bring calm and support to what the animal needs while separated from their main caretaker. *I love large animals but unfortunately cannot accept requests right now for large dogs. I’m still recovering from breast cancer and unable to walk them if they pull. If you have fenced in yard, then I’ll consider. I work from home so I can stop in for a walk easily. If I can use your wifi, I can work from your home while hanging out with your pet. I cannot watch pets at my home. I’ll follow the normal routine in your home as closely as possible. Walks, dog parks, or snuggles.
About: Our dogs have been our best friends for 20 years. We give them the treatment they deserve such as tons of pampering, love and care! We are retirees looking to fill our days and as pet lovers we decided we should share that time and love to other furbabies! We had three beautiful Golden Retrievers, all now in doggie heaven ♡ and we currently have an almost 4 year old, playful, male Goldendoodle, an instant playmate to your furbaby! We have a fenced yard and we live in a quiet neighborhood, close to parks and a lake nearby to take them walking! We are mostly home so we have a ton of time with your fur baby. He/she is always welcome during days for parents that work and even overnights. We have a fenced yard that is good size so there is a place to run around along with walks. Your fur baby will always have company and will never be left alone.
“Matthew was absolutely fantastic with our two girls! They immediate took a liking to him when they first met and by the time we go back from our trip both the girls were more calm and well behaved than when we left. Matthew also sent us pictures of our girls every day so we wouldn't miss them as much. Thank you, Matthew!”

Tumwater dog parents share their Rover experiences
Johanna goes above and beyond every time she cares for our three dogs, and we couldn't ask for a better dog sitter! She adapts to the personalities and needs of all our girls, from our energetic puppy to our velcro dog who needs lots of love. Johanna's photos and detailed updates show just how attentive and conscientious she is of each of our pups, and I always feel reassured that she is providing excellent care for them while we are away from home. So grateful to have found such a reliable sitter!
Vanessa told fantastic care of our dogs when we were out of the country. She took FANTASTIC photos of them and sent daily updates so we felt very reassured they were in good hands while we were gone! AND our dogs put her through so much drama and she just let it roll off, no big deal! Vanessa is a saint!
Madisyn is really great. She is super organized, asked good questions when meeting the dogs and was very thorough with her sharing about how the dog sit went. My anxiety about leaving my dogs with someone new is completely erased as she was very on top of things. We are definitely looking forward to having her take care of our two dogs again!
Lizzy was an outstanding dog sitter! She took amazing care of my dogs and kept me updated on everything and sent lots of photos! My dogs were super happy to see her highly recommend her as a dog sitter! She even helped with issues involving my fire alarm and stayed for my maintenance people to try and fix it couldn’t have picked a better dog sitter!
Helena is a great communicator and took excellent care of our 3 animals (1 large, excitable dog; 2 cats) while we were away for several days visiting family. I really appreciated how quickly she reached out if she had any questions and how promptly she responded during our check-ins. Helena has lovely energy and we could absolutely tell the pets appreciated having such a warm and capable caregiver while we were away. It definitely helped set our minds at ease knowing our animals (especially our big, dopey, kinda high-maintenance dog) were all in such excellent hands. Thank you, Helena!!
Madison was fantastic! She kept us informed during every single drop-in visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Her communication was consistent, thoughtful, and detailed. We always knew our pet was in great hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and that made all the difference. We would 100% book with Madison again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!
Kate did a terrific job and took excellent care of our pets. She went above and beyond what was expected and took the time to bring in a couple packages that were delivered while we were gone and vacuumed up some kitty litter spillage. We would hire her again in a heartbeat and will recommend her to family and friends.
Savannah took great care of our cat and dog while we were out of town. It was our first time hiring someone to drop in and we were a little nervous about the whole idea. Savannah immediately put those concerns at ease. She has a really good energy with animals and our girls knew it right away. Highly recommended!
This was our first time using a pet sitter, and Xiuyuan made us feel so comfortable. She was very patient with our anxious little dog and allowed him time to get comfortable with her. He loved her and I can tell from her videos that he really enjoyed their walks!
