“We had a wonderful experience with Ruth on Rover! She was able to take our dog, Millie, on very short notice, which we really appreciated. From the moment we dropped Millie off, Ruth made us feel comfortable and confident that Millie was in great hands. Millie clearly had a great time during her stay. Ruth took excellent care of her and made sure she felt right at home. We really appreciated the photos Ruth sent while we were away—it was great to see how happy and comfortable Millie was. It looked like Millie had a blast going on walks and even getting to enjoy some car rides. We’re very grateful that Ruth was able to help us out with a last-minute booking and provide such great care. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to watch their dog, and we would gladly book with her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, having 6 since I’ve been a child. 2 Portuguese water dogs, 2 pitbulls, and 2 French bull dogs. I have been relied on by friends and family to watch and care for their dogs throughout the years I’m currently a Pre Dental student at Loras. My schedule is open for weekday afternoons and overnight of the week, I can be of service when you need someone to watch your pet overnight or just let them go potty in the middle of the day. In my home we use pee pads, take the dogs on walks, and have a fenced in backyard. We feed them 2-3 times a day, and give them lost of love. I understand how important it is to let the dogs outside while you are away and want to be an option for others like me.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their routine, and I do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m reliable, attentive, and always treat every dog with care and patience. I maintain a very flexible routine and am home the majority of the day. I do volunteer a few hours daily, but I’m otherwise available to care for pets, provide attention, and keep them on their normal schedule. Dogs in my care will have a stable environment, regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every dog in my care. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and kept in a clean, secure space where they can relax and feel at home.

About: I've sat for many different breeds and species over the years. I grew up always having some type of animal in the home, especially dogs. I have two dogs and a cat now. I love cooking for them and knowing exactly what is going in their food. I love making home made treats for them as well. I even sew for them at times. I've made boots, coats, beds, Halloween costumes, toys, etc. Right now, my schedule is pretty flexible, which means I have lots of time to dedicate purely to furkids. I am close with a professional dog trainer and am able to ask any question, which is always a big help. My vet has great hours and very accessible as well for any questions or concerns.

About: I've been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember! Training them, walking, feeding, bathing, and playing are all part of the package! I am almost available all the time. The only days I would unfortunately not be able to see your pets would be on Sunday's and sometime Saturday's for personal days. I am very patient and try to listen to what your pets tell me, but not TOO much! I will always try and make sure your pet has the best time and will be safe 😊

“HIRE CHRIS. I won the lottery with him. It was my first time using Rover. I have a special needs rabbit who needed a caretaker after a rabbit boarding service was no longer available. I messaged several sitters and Chris was the first to respond. He is responsive and communicative. What I absolutely love about Chris, among many things, is that he asks questions. Not in a "what do I do" kind of way. Rather, "how do I do this to make sure it's done correctly". My special needs rabbit is on a specialized diet. I left Chris with instructions, which he followed to a tee, but he also sent a photo of the food. (My rabbit is feed very soft, watered down pellets and Critical Care due to recent dental surgery). I'm happy that he did because my rabbit can't chew on pellets. He sent lots of photos of Moo, too. Chris was also flexible with the initial meet 'n' greet appointment and visiting my landlord's office to pick up my front door key (which has to be loaned out). One of the reasons I chose Chris was his close proximity to my apartment. I will 5000% hire Chris again for my rabbit sitting needs. He took great care of my very special needs rabbit and Moo liked him too! I recommend him for your pet sitting needs, including small mammals!”

About: Hello! I'm Lara, mom of 2 cats (a torty & an orange), and I'd love to keep your little one safe & happy while you're away! 😊 Training: I’ve literally never lived in a home without a dog and/or cat, so my pet care experience is lifelong. I recently moved from Seattle to Galena, and while in Seattle, I was a volunteer at Seattle Humane Society. After completing their basic cat care training, I chose to continue on and get trained & certified to work with the more "challenging" cats, and a further cert to care for the cats in isolation due to an infectious condition. Their curriculum includes interpreting cat behavior, monitoring their "ins" and "outs", identifying potential health conditions, what cats need for healthy stimulation, and most importantly, consent-based care. Cat Behavior: I've been a cat mom for 18 consecutive years, so I am very good at reading cats' behavior. When I meet a new cat, I am quiet, calm, and still. I always let them dictate how we will interact. Health: I have experience administering subcutaneous fluids, topical medications, and oral medications (in liquid and pill form). I've also completed the American Red Cross' Cat and Dog First Aid course. Communication: Having used cat sitters myself many times, I know how crucial communication is while you're away. I'll always note what I did, when, what I observed, and anything else that I would want to know in your position. My commitment to you is: I will be respectful of your home, I will provide top-tier care for your pet, and I will send lots of photos. 😸 I’m currently pursuing a part-time, online Accounting certificate program with the University of Washington, so I have class on Wednesdays from 7-11pm and Saturdays from 11am-2pm central. So those are the only times I can NOT do a drop-in visit (plus buffer time for driving). I've utilized cat sitters many times myself, so I understand how important it is to trust the person you let into your home to take care of your most precious ones. I'm a very conscientious and respectful person, so I will take care of your pets and your home as if they were my own. I’ll feed & water your pets, get that litter box clean as can be, and play with and/or snuggle them according to their preferences.

About: I own two high energy dogs, Josie and Stella, both raised from puppies, so I know how stressful puppy parenting can be. Growing up on a farm surrounded by animals is where I developed my love for caring for them, and it’s where I learned responsibility. We often head to the farm for extra playtime and walks, so your pup will have plenty of fun, exercise, and love no energy left behind! I’m currently in school for respiratory therapy, so I’ve cut back on my hours. I work most weekends 2-10:30. Then a few shifts throughout the week occasionally. Other than that, I’m pretty available around my work and school schedule, and I can’t wait to care for and love your animals! I have two friendly, high energy dogs who love to play! While we don’t have a fenced yard, we’re lucky to have country property with plenty of space to walk around the fields.

I do add travel expenses, mainly for gas, when traveling for house sitting. I get up in the morning and get my coffee going and then tend to pets that are around. They get fed first thing, inside and outside. Feral cats seem to be present in the morning. Litter boxes are checked. Water Bowls. Mostly I go to people's homes and care for the pets at their houses, but I have had people bring them to me. I have an extra room set up in my barn if there are anxieties or stress with animals and they need a quiet place. I am in the process of updating that room a little more. It is heated for the winter months. I do have hand brushes and combs for extra attention and I do go talk to whoever is around. If dogs come, they can be walked. Although I live in a small town, I am close to nice places to walk on the edge of town.

About: I have cared for puppies and senior dogs within a doggy daycare setting. I have administered medication/insulin. I always make sure they use their energy. I currently am working part time at a doggy daycare. So I will have plenty of time to make sure your animals are cared for. I always make sure they are well taken care of and always get the utmost amount of love and care they deserve. Along with treats.

“We had a wonderful experience with Ruth on Rover! She was able to take our dog, Millie, on very short notice, which we really appreciated. From the moment we dropped Millie off, Ruth made us feel comfortable and confident that Millie was in great hands. Millie clearly had a great time during her stay. Ruth took excellent care of her and made sure she felt right at home. We really appreciated the photos Ruth sent while we were away—it was great to see how happy and comfortable Millie was. It looked like Millie had a blast going on walks and even getting to enjoy some car rides. We’re very grateful that Ruth was able to help us out with a last-minute booking and provide such great care. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to watch their dog, and we would gladly book with her again!”

We are so grateful of Tamara and her sweet family for making us feel at ease while we were away. Highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, having 6 since I’ve been a child. 2 Portuguese water dogs, 2 pitbulls, and 2 French bull dogs. I have been relied on by friends and family to watch and care for their dogs throughout the years I’m currently a Pre Dental student at Loras. My schedule is open for weekday afternoons and overnight of the week, I can be of service when you need someone to watch your pet overnight or just let them go potty in the middle of the day. In my home we use pee pads, take the dogs on walks, and have a fenced in backyard. We feed them 2-3 times a day, and give them lost of love. I understand how important it is to let the dogs outside while you are away and want to be an option for others like me.

About: I've sat for many different breeds and species over the years. I grew up always having some type of animal in the home, especially dogs. I have two dogs and a cat now. I love cooking for them and knowing exactly what is going in their food. I love making home made treats for them as well. I even sew for them at times. I've made boots, coats, beds, Halloween costumes, toys, etc. Right now, my schedule is pretty flexible, which means I have lots of time to dedicate purely to furkids. I am close with a professional dog trainer and am able to ask any question, which is always a big help. My vet has great hours and very accessible as well for any questions or concerns.

About: I've been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember! Training them, walking, feeding, bathing, and playing are all part of the package! I am almost available all the time. The only days I would unfortunately not be able to see your pets would be on Sunday's and sometime Saturday's for personal days. I am very patient and try to listen to what your pets tell me, but not TOO much! I will always try and make sure your pet has the best time and will be safe 😊
