About: Ever since I was born, there’s always been a pet in the house. I grew up with cats, dogs, even fish, frogs, and rats! I have been hired to take care of dogs, cats, and chickens a handful of times, and have taken care of my loved ones’ dogs and cats on many more occasions. I am trustworthy and reliable with a flexible schedule, and always ready to treat your creature with the utmost care and affection! I’m a freelance performance artist, and can likely make your schedule work! I am available for visits at all times of the day, including overnight. Whether it’s swinging by for a walk or staying overnight, I’m there! I am attentive to the needs of your pet including bathroom, grooming, exercise, playing, resting, and cleaning up after them. I will make sure I understand from you exactly what your pet needs and follow your/their schedule, while meeting any other needs that may arise during my visit!

10/10 I would recommend Alyssa. She came and walked our beloved dog while we were out of town and our dog was home with gramma. She came and met him before booking to make sure they were a good fit. She was flexible with the schedule when the weather called for rain. She kept us updated with pictures and summaries of their walks. She also gave him his meds, treats and water.

About: I am retired, so I have plenty of time and availability to visit, house sit, play, and walk dogs around their neighborhoods or dog parks. I have no problem cleaning/refreshing litter boxes. I care for our two cats, and even though they're both semi-feral, they still need a lot of TLC and attention. Daily food prep, litter box maintenance, and play time. I take care to follow clients' wishes for their loved pets in their homes, including feeding, cleaning, playing, and ensuring the cats and/or dogs are loved and cared for.

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.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all breeds and ages, a leopard gecko, chickens, even ducks and my love for animals is always growing. Right now I am unemployed so I have plenty of time to have a nice walk with your buddy’s. Big or small I love them. I make sure my dog gets plenty of sun and exercise outside while feeding him his food with all the nutrients he needs, he’s thriving not surviving.

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!

About: I’ve helped take care of and train dogs of various sorts and sizes since I can walk along with my dad. I’ve gotten my love for animals as a whole from him and it’s the perfect therapy and job. Having many dogs, cats, birds, turtles, fish and pet crabs throughout my life has helped me to have an extra sense of care, love, and attention for all animals. I’m currently working part-time, so I’m available to play, train, and care for your lovable furry friend 7 days a week from 8am to 2pm and 9pm to 12am. I have a fenced front yard and backyard for your lovely pets to freely roam and play with me. I also have a 7 year old Shih Tzu and a 2 year old cat (both females) whom are very loving, calm, and ecstatic to meet a new friend. A crate is available upon request as well.

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.
