Glenn provided consistent care and attention for my cat and undertook the challenge of caring for my parrot although he was without prior bird experience. Both bird and cat were happy and healthy upon my return and Glenn communicated daily reports on them while I was away. I couldn’t be more pleased.

About: I have owned dogs and cats for 27 years and have learned that each pet is unique and deserving of great love and care. I've trained a puppy, rescued a young dog, given dogs and cats medicine, taken care of an ailing senior animal, gone on long walks and given plenty of belly rubs. I recently left my full-time job to focus on freelancing. This gives me flexibility and lots of time to care for pets. I would like to establish long-term relationships with pets and their owners. If I'm checking in on your pet, I will respect your home as if it were my own. I'll follow your care instructions to the letter, and make sure your pet feels safe and happy. For walks, I'll provide the utmost care to ensure your pet is safe while getting the amount of exercise and outdoor activity they need.

Jackie was really helpful with mid-day drop-ins for my 2 dogs on an unusual schedule while I was working and taking care of my mom's house. She was especially helpful and communicative during the planning process and helped me sort out my booking issue. Will definitely book Jackie again!

Mary met with me and the cats beforehand and that was helpful. She sent pictures when she visited that showed the cats were comfortable with her. That reassured me that they were being well taken care of while I was away for a few days. We communicated easily.

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, and other pets my whole life, trained my own dog myself, and provide flexible, attentive, loving care for animals of all kinds. I currently work part-time as a lifeguard at a local pool, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to walk, feed, play with, and care for pets throughout the day. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by following their normal routines, giving them attention, exercise, clean spaces, and constant supervision when needed.

Lauren was awesome with our beloved cat Regan. She was punctual everyday for her drop in visits and spent extra time with Regan. Lauren was very professional. Regan is a senior cat with some health issues. Lauren was very conscientious when monitoring Regan’s medications and administration which helped us feel more comfortable . We will definitely be using her again.

About: I’m a social worker, a mom to 2 pit bulls, 1 senior cat, and 1 human toddler. I grew up on a farm and I am a lifelong animal lover. Between the various needs of my creatures at home, and my experience over the last 20 years, I’m well equipped to take care of your babies. I have somewhat flexible availability during the week, and even more so on the weekends. I work from home some days of the week and can pop out as needed. I am attentive to your instructions for care and walk in with eyes wide open. If something seems off, I’ll let you know right away. I’m also happy to send cute pics to reassure you that your babies are doing great :)

About: This is the first time in my life I have had no dog and 5 cats. Help me out of my withdrawals and let me help care for your pet! I'm available all hours! If you don't see the time slot you need, pick one and we'll work it out. I'd love to care for your furry friend! I can pick up and walk your dog any time, even multiple times each day. I can scoop litter boxes, pet kitties, and check on things for you.

About: I’ve owned and cared for a wide variety of pets, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines. My experience with many types of pets helps me quickly understand and meet each animal’s unique needs I work from home often, so I have plenty of time to give your pet attention, whether that means staying with them longer or stopping by multiple times throughout the day. I’m flexible with scheduling and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine, making sure they get consistent care, companionship, and lots of attention while you’re awa I have a large fenced in yard, and I’m very active, so dogs in my care get plenty of outdoor time, including walks and hikes. I follow your pet’s routine closely and can stop by your home as often as needed to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for.

About: I’m excited to pet sit for you! I’m a recent college graduate and have been pet sitting for the past 8 plus years primarily in Ohio and North Carolina. I historically have stayed over and house/dog sat with 1-3 dogs. But have also done my fair share of cat sitting. I love animals and grew up with dogs and hanging with my cousins cats. Unfortunately I have been moving around more recently and have not been able to get my own. I love going to dog parks, playing fetch, and going for runs with dogs. Also, I have fun playing with cats and laser pens. I’m new to Washington, hence the Rover account. I’m free most weekends and also available in the evenings to walk dogs. I'm currently in grad school. I take mostly evening courses so am happy to come by for a mid-day walk and fairly free on most weekends. I'm hiking most weekends, so would love to take your furry friends on a hike! At this time my home is not available to pet sit but I am happy to come to your home to let pets out for a walk or to spend time together to play!

Brittany to the rescue! We had to go out of town at the last minute and needed a sitter for our little fur baby. Brittany was easy to book and took great care of our kitty. We got updates every day and will definitely book again in the future!

This was our second time booking with Sirena. As expected, she responded quickly to my request/messages and followed the instructions I left for her perfectly. I was at ease knowing our kitty was in good hands while we were away. I highly recommend booking with Sirena, I know we will ask for her services again.

JJ is outstanding—animal care expertise, care for my pet and home, and communication. I’d recommend him to anyone, zero reservations. (Also, my cat jumps much higher now so I think he may be some type of cat athletic trainer.)
