“Alyssa was such a great pet sitter to my little dog Ella! She first of all was able to help me on such short notice and that was super appreciated. She sent me some pictures and let me know how my dog was doing for the couple of hours she was with her. Thanks so much for taking such good care of my fur baby!”


“Westin and I absolutely loved Mariana!! She was so kind and kept me up to date throughout the day along with sending adorable pictures. I felt so comfortable leaving Westin with her and he got so excited every time he saw her. Highly recommend!!”


“We have booked Kelly multiple times, and our once-anxious shih tzus were practically dragging my husband across the lawn to greet her this time. They adore “Auntie Kelly” and they were a little sad to leave Khloe behind at the end of the day. I love the regular updates and photos she sends throughout the day, and she truly cares for my dogs as if they were her own. I (still!) highly recommend her!”


About: I really love taking dogs out for walks, it gives me a moment to breathe and think, and by the end, they’re usually happily panting and ready for a nap. They’re such sweet little souls, and I honestly take so much pride in caring for them. Sometimes I feel like I connect with dogs more than people ! they’re just pure love in a fuzzy little body. I’ve also helped raise puppies from the moment they were born, and watching them grow has been one of the most special experiences in my life. With kitty cats I’ve fostered twins for a little under a year, one was the sweetest while the other made me laugh while he had a zommies-fest in front of me ! I work remotely and I can work from anywhere, and other than from 11 AM Ish I have one delivery to do Monday through Friday, which gives me a full availability ! I very much love cuddle bugs, however, even my own dog isn’t cuddly unless it’s on her own terms. However, I set aside time to play with her, and even on walks or else at home and make sure to tell her she’s a good girl and reinforce good behavior :3

About: I've also had dogs for most of my life, but I think I really gained a love and understanding with my own dog I got 2.5 years ago as a puppy. Raising a puppy has given me a whole new appreciation for dog training and having a well-behaved puppy! I haven't done much senior care of dogs, but I have worked in human Healthcare and always had a special appreciation of older patients who required certain care, so it's not outside of my realm of comfort to provide extra care. I also understand that when training dogs you need to maintain consistency and as long as your commendas/needs are expressed, I will uphold those standards for you. I am not currently working so I have a lot of flexibility in my day to provide care. Currently I manage my own dog with walks, food, potty breaks, and enrichment every day. When my husband is gone for work I manage the feeding, enrichment, and litter box cleaning for our cat as well. I have a fenced yard and access to dogs parks as well as live in a quiet neighborhood for adequate walks. My home does have stairs that are required for access, but we have lots of beds and couches for pups to get comfy on. I also have plenty of toys and treats for enrichment. We have a large koi pond in the yard, so dogs staying with us do need to have good enough recall to be called away from the pond, they should not want to jump in at sight. In the client's home I'm willing to play/provide enrichment, training, and walks in the neighborhood, or whatever the normal routine is.

“Matt has been fantastic. We've been using him for doggy care and boarding for our Husky at least once per week for the past month and she always comes home tired and well taken care of. Matt has been prompt in communicating with us and has been really flexible with our schedules. Highly recommend!”


“Kana is a very special person. Our Watson loves going to daycare at her house. I can see how much fun and how happy he is in every one of the pictures she sends. She is very much appreciated.”



“Ethan and his dog Nico took great care of Yonder! I received updates and very good photos all day while he was in Ethan’s care. Yonder came back absolutely exhausted from playing in the yard. Thanks Ethan!”


“Nova had a great time with Heather and the pups in her home! She was tired after a long day of play and took a long nap. Heather was responsive and friendly, and has a clear passion for dogs. Highly recommended!”


“Channing really helped me out if a tight spot and agreed to sit my high energy husky the evening before. Communicative, friendly, and kind, I would definitely bring my baby back!”


About: I’ve had dogs of all ages and sizes in my life since childhood. I’ve trained several dogs and am very patient and loving to all. I’m currently retired and can work with just about any schedule. Please contact me directly to arrange a time that works best for your pup. I have a fully fenced back yard and currently no animals of my own. Summer I spend most my time on my deck and in my garden. Your pup is welcome to join me. Besides a few trips to the store or an occasional appointment I am home pretty much 24/7 so I’ll become your pups new bestie 😁 I have a fully fenced backyard. Because we have so many bunnies in our area when we build our fence we attached chicken wire to the bottom of the fence and buried the end in the dirt. So even the littlest of pups are safe!

About: Since I can remember we’ve had dogs in our family. I have experience caring for them since I was 6 years old, simply started out with feeding and slowly became into so much more with education I learned from my parents. I have experience with small and large breeds, all the way from their birth to their way across the rainbow bridge. I have experience with caring for their health concerns such as heart disease, collapsed tracheas and blindness as well as caring for them during their recovery from surgery. I work a very flexible work schedule, I am available during mornings and evenings to care for your furry family member. With adequate notice I am able to fit walks and visits into my current work schedule. I have a fully fenced yard & home here in the heart of University Place. I am walking distance from Titlow Beach park. I care for every pet as if they are my own with love, trust and respect. Having fun and making sure the dogs feel loved is always my number one priority.

Kalana O.
“Testimonial for Kalana Olander By Lilani Rose I’m honored to write this heartfelt testimonial for Kalana Olander, who has consistently proven to be an exceptional & trustworthy pet caregiver through Rover. As the proud owner of two beloved dogs, Jax & Rox, I can confidently say that Kalana is one of the most compassionate, capable, & professional individuals I’ve ever trusted with my pets. Kalana has a truly remarkable gift with animals. She possesses a calm & nurturing energy that immediately puts dogs at ease. Jax & Rox bonded with her right away, & it’s clear she has a natural intuition for understanding their personalities & needs. Over time, she has also lovingly cared for other dogs close to me. Jaws, Peanut & Doughnut. With the same level of commitment, patience, & affection. What sets Kalana apart is not only her love for animals, but her professionalism & responsibility in every aspect of pet care. She is incredibly reliable, always communicates clearly & promptly, & maintains a strong sense of honesty & transparency. Something every pet owner truly values. Whether it’s a quick update, a check-in photo, or a question about a routines, she always makes sure I’m fully aware & at ease while I’m away. Kalana is deeply knowledgeable in dog care, not just feeding & walking, but also in bathing, grooming, & providing emotional comfort. She treats every dog as if they are her own. Her top priority is always ensuring they feel safe, happy & well-loved. She goes above & beyond by paying attention to each dog’s unique quirks, routines, & comfort zones, which makes a world of difference when I’m away for work or travel. It is such a relief knowing my pets are not only in good hands, but in the best hands with Kalana. Her dedication, integrity, & genuine love for animals make her a rare gem in the world of pet care. I fully support her role on Rover, & would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for dependable, loving, & professional care for their pets. If Rover or any potential clients need a personal reference, please feel free to contact me. I am more than happy to speak on behalf of Kalana’s qualifications & the wonderful experience she’s given my dogs & others. Sincerely, Lilani Rose”
