“Megan was an amazing sitter! Our Frenchie had a little health issue prior to our drop off and Megan navigated a few restrictions on Tula's activity, as requested. She updated us with photos and reports throughout the stay, and we felt Tula settled in well with Megan. We highly recommend Megan and will be using her services again soon.”
“Sabrina provided a safe and loving environment for our fur baby. She communicated with us several times a day and sent pics and videos so we could see how well Sydney was doing. We will definitely plan to board our pup with her again!”
“Christina did a wonderful job with our dog! We are very happy, and would definitely hire her again! Our dog is 13 years old and has almost never spent a night away from home, so we were a little nervous. He stayed with Christina for 5 days and she cared for him so well! The daily texts from her were so nice and reassuring! She made it very easy for us and our dog! He must have been comfortable with Christina because he came home like he'd never left!”
“Very knowledgeable about dogs! Communicated well. Love that out dog had lots of space to run around and play with other dogs. We will definitely use Michelle again.”
“Matt was great to work with & took amazing care of our golden doodle. He has separation anxiety & seizures that are typically controlled with medication but in stressful situations he still will have them occasionally. He was obviously very comfortable at Matt’s & had zero issues.”
About: I’m 23 years old and I have 2 dogs. One is 7 and the other is 1 year old. I got them both when they were puppies so I’ve had dog experience for 7 years now. I like to take them for walks daily if weather is permitting as well as play fetch. I am a CNA but I do home care so my schedule is flexible, I can work mornings or nights. I love doing Outdoor activities. I have a nice fenced in back yard for them to run around and get their energy out. So far I’ve taught my dogs how to sit, shake, dance, and high five with both paws. I want to continue to teach them more tricks. I’m sure my dogs are looking forward to having more buddies to play with!
“Todd & Maureen personalize our Raven’s care and we appreciate that. They love dogs and it shows. We feel completely confident leaving our dog, Raven, with them - even for 8 nights like we just did. Highly recommended.”
“Buddy's stay with Edward went great. The drop off and pick up was quick. Ed took picture and sent update of Buddy chilling with another dog. I would highly recommend Edward and use him again in the future.”
“Susan was a great sitter for our boy Loki!! Sent us updates and the atmosphere at her home helped Loki on his first stay away from his home. Will use her services again!!! Highly recommend!!!!”
“Larisa is very good with dogs. I also love that she keeps the dogs in her home. Our dog doesn't have separation anxiety but misses us terribly when we're gone. Being with a loving person really helped.”
“Excellent Rover experience! Rachel is very caring and consistently provides updates throughout the stay. Our dog is always very excited to see her. We recommend Rachel highly to all!”
“This was a wonderful environment to leave my dog. I felt like I was dropping him off at summer camp. We had daily contact with pictures and videos. I highly recommend Reyna.”
“Neeko loved staying with this wonderful family and they really seemed to enjoy having him. Actually, even though he was happy to see me, he didn’t seem to want to leave. That’s the best compliment of all, if you ask me. Will definitely ask them to take care of my pup again when the need arises.”
“Boomer had a great time. Nice big yard to play in and got lots of attention! I got daily updates and pictures of Boomer playing and having fun. We will definitely be visiting again!”
“We've boarded our poodle with Jeanne several times, including a couple extended stays. I can tell he loves going to Jeanne's, she always makes him feel right at home. Her house is clean and safe. She is attentive to my directions on care, feeding, and grooming. Can't recommend her more highly.”
“Tabitha was great with Addie! She and her family made a gentle introduction to their other dog, and they had endless running and playing in their fenced yard! She also sent a bunch of photos and a video. We were grateful that our dog had such a fun filled day while we were away!”
About: Hi there! My name is Sage, and I’m passionate about caring for pets of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience giving pills, shots, and other medications, as well as caring for both senior cats who need a little extra patience and love, and playful kittens and puppies. I’ve also helped with potty training for puppies and understand the unique attention that both young and elderly pets require. At home, I’m the proud owner of two cats who keep me on my toes and remind me every day why I love animals so much. My goal is always to provide the same level of care, comfort, and kindness to your pets as I do my own. I have evenings open to love on your pets! If you have a busy night planned or a late night at work, leave your pet in my hands! I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own home. As a sitter, I provide respectful, reliable care that follows your pet’s normal routine, from feeding and playtime to medications and cuddles. Whether your pet is young, elderly, or needs special attention, I treat them with patience and love—just like my own two cats. I know my way around Mount Pleasant trails and parks when your pet needs to get some energy out!
“Kelsey and her family made my pups feel at home the weekend they spent with them. They had never boarded before so I was nervous. She was very reassuring and communicative when I would text to inquire how they were. The dogs were safe and loved there. We would recommend Kelsey and her family as great place for your pet to stay.”

I am working a full time job from home. I am free to walk dogs in the evenings after work, weekends, and maybe walks on my lunch breaks during the middle of the day. I have a small little 2 year old dog at home that has taught me the love and attention necessary to raise a happy dog and how to show them lots of love. I have had many dogs as I grew up as well so I know how to take care of a dog that I didn’t have a direct hand in training. I love all dogs and want them to non stop tail wag their way through life.

“Kumar was absolutely wonderful with my two cats! I was especially nervous about leaving because one of them, Relic, is a formerly feral girl who’s very shy with new people. (Beezle, my other cat, is a social butterfly—toss him a treat and he’s instantly your best friend.) But Kumar handled Relic’s quirks with so much patience and care. He came by twice a day, sent me photos and videos every visit, and never hesitated to check in if he had questions. His communication was fantastic, and he totally put my mind at ease. If I need a sitter again, I’ll be crossing my fingers that Kumar’s available—he did an amazing job, and I’m so grateful!”
“Heather was excellent and took care of our dog and cats while we were out of state for 10 days. She set up a meet and greet with us before hand and then stopped over to meet the pets and learn how to take care of them. She was great at communicating and sent us updates and photos each visit. We will absolutely contact Heather again when we need a pet sitter. Thank you Heather!”
“Shawna was so kind and attentive to my girl Athena! She even watered some plants she noticed were dry!! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for pet care :) This was my first time using rover so I was nervous but it truly couldn't have worked out better!!”

“Christina is definitely a pet lover who cares! Our dog felt right at home the moment we set foot in her home and had a wonderful time. We will certainly use Christina whenever we are in the Stanwood area!”
About: I have many years experience with cats, even wild bred cats. But due to having two cats myself, I am not taking any cats for boarding. Maybe interested in stopping by and feeding and cleaning litters I am currently working but my husband is home 100% of the time and kids are also here that love playing with animals, bathing them, and taking them for walks. We have a fenced in backyard where we have a dog ourselves that is a mixed breed dog that has been introduced to many other animals and has never been anything but excited to have a pail.
About: Hi! I’m Melody, a huge animal lover and proud dog mom to two sweet huskies. Dogs are part of the family in my home, and I treat every pup I care for with the same love, patience, and respect as my own. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, structure, or reassurance, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood while you’re away. I’m very attentive to routines, behavior, and comfort, and I’ll always keep you updated so you know your fur baby is in great hands! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give dogs the attention they deserve. Your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I make sure they get regular exercise, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. Dogs stay in a calm, safe, and loving home with a fenced yard for play and fresh air. I supervise closely, follow routines, and keep everything clean and comfortable so every dog can relax, feel secure, and enjoy their stay.
About: I have pet care experience of all kinds including breeding and stud service, shots and weening. We have a large open floor plan with a 4 stall garage to roam. Price will vary if dog is not fully potty trained or in heat during their stay. I am a stay at home entrepreneur allowing me to be present with pets while they are here. I am also a groomer! My husband and I believe this is a great opportunity to be able to love on all kinds of different breeds as our own and a fun way to take care of some of the most precious pets. That being said i will only accept crate trained dogs(for their safety) they need to be able to be crated safely while we are away for a short or longer amount of time. There are no cats or dogs here (unless confirmed by you that its okay to board at the same time as another families pet) so you won't have to worry about your pet getting along with anyone else while they are here. Be sure to check your collars and leashes of any wear and tears before dropping them off💛 tell me about your dog and we will see if it will be a good fit🧡
“Ashley is a warm and caring sitter and was great with my shy and fearful girl!! She understood that some dogs just need a place to feel comfortable and she provided that. That being said her farm would be like doggie heaven to dogs that want a fun day! I would definitely use her again and don’t hesitate to recommend her to others!!”
About: I’ve always had a passion for dogs of all kinds! I have been around dogs my whole life between family and friends! Our house is open to any breed big or small! I am a stay at home mom with lots of free time to walk and play with your fur babies! I know your dogs are family and only want the best care for them while you are away! We have a spacious house with comfy couches for your fur babies! Our yard isn’t fenced but we live very close to the park and love walks! We have a 3 year old dog that loves to play. Our little boy loves kisses from doggies and pets them very nicely. We allow dogs to roam freely in the house unless told otherwise.
“Our dog, Finn, came home happy and tired. He had a full day meeting the farm animals and all the children. He also enjoyed making new friends with the other dogs. Reyna was very accommodating and sent lots of pictures throughout the day.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud rescue dog parent with over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I know firsthand how tough it can be to find affordable, trustworthy help—especially when juggling a busy schedule. That’s what inspired me to become a Rover sitter: to offer dependable, compassionate care for your pets when you need it most. My two pups (a spunky senior Jack Russell/Heeler mix and a mid-aged Husky/Heeler) keep me active and on my toes, and I frequently care for my sister-in-law's dogs as well. I’m experienced with dogs who need a little extra TLC, including those on special diets, daily medications, or unique routines. Whether you need someone to drop in for a quick potty break or want your dog to feel at home while you're away, I treat every pet like family—with patience, attention, and love. I'm flexible! I currently work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule during the days. I work about ~10-15 hours a week and don't have a set 9-5 type schedule. I can do my work whenever, wherever! I have a fenced in yard and two dogs at home. I treat my dogs like they are my BABIES - they get a ton of attention, pets, belly rubs, walks, and kisses. We do a lot of walks in our neighborhood and like to bring our pets on adventures.
“What a gem! I was VERY nervous leaving him as he’s quite old and currently needs his activity curtailed due to back problems. She kept in frequent contact and sent many pics. I would highly recommend!”
“This guy is the real deal! He knows what he’s doing. For example, he knows how to introduce dogs to each other and is very observant of dog behavior. I feel very secure with him taking care of my little guy.”
“Kumar is great! He's been a dog sitter for me four times the past two weeks for fifteen hours total. Extremely friendly with my dog. Takes him on one or two walks. Reliable and flexible with scheduling. I'll be working with him more going forward. Much appreciated!”
“Maggie and I love when Celeste watches her! Celeste gives all of her attention to her clients and provides photos and updates throughout the day if needed. I will definitely be rebooking.”

I understand some things happen in life and I would love to help where I can! I will care for your pets in the exact manner you request, along with extra love, doting, attention, patience and empathy. Trust is everything when it comes to what you love, and my goal is for everyone to have the best experience.
“I mean, wow! This has been the most detailed and very communicative doggie day care that we've ever experienced. We're traveling across the country so if we come back through this area, we'll be sure to book another stay with Katelyn. We wish she was available back home in Washington state.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have experience training large breed rescues for service and emotional support. I’ve had two senior rescues as part of our family. I work part time from home so I have plenty of time and attention to give your fur babies! I’m available for boarding daily and overnights. I care for pets the same way I care for my own—lots of love, gentle structure, and a cozy home environment. Dogs can relax, play, explore the yard, enjoy snuggles, and follow their normal routines. I’m home often, so your pet gets attention and supervision throughout the day.
About: We are a Christian home with a very active family! I’m thankful that my job allows me to spend most of my days at home with the kids and dog. Our dog is very friendly and loves new visitors. She’s smaller, but loves the big dogs best! My daughter on the other hand loves the smaller dogs. We will happily welcome them all! My dog and I frequent the dog parks, hiking trails, beaches and walks through the town. I used to be a former 4-H member with my childhood dog, so I’ve got many years experience with training and showing. My love and patience is huge for dogs. I prefer a dog to be kennel trained, and come with a crate but an open to discussion. I am very flexible and I will most certainly work with you with whatever you may need. Look forwarding to meeting you and your pup. We are home the majority of our days, tending to our hobby farm, and enjoying time outside. We have a very flexible schedule, and are willing to accommodate. The dogs are always fed separate, and separated when I leave! Pets are allowed on beds, and couches. They will get lots of time outside with us.
“Stephanie was very kind and helpful in watching my pup while I attended a wedding. As advertised, she has a really great property and her pups are very sweet. Stephanie cares about them a lot and is clearly an animal lover. She was great in sending me some photos of their day and was very pleasant to talk with. Would recommend to others and would certainly return if ever needed in the future!”
About: I've been raised around all ages of puppies/dogs, use to work at a dog daycare for a few years, took behavior classes, and did nail trimming. Also have done walking at the daycare and also with my own dogs. I have took care of seniors also that have needed medicine I'm a stay at home mom with my baby daughter, 2 dogs Toby and Koda, and my fluffy playful kitten Snooze. I have spaces in my day where I will be able to take care of your furry babies for you while you have to work/trip I do grooming for my dogs and kitten, walk/play with my dogs every day. At night I make sure to give each one alone time with me before bed so they don't get jealous of eachother

“Taylor was amazing! Yesterday was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous about my pup being home alone... Taylor called me at work (per my request) so that I could go over how to get into my house, etc. and she calmed my nerves too :) when she got there, he had tore up his mattress pad in his kennel- she cleaned it up so that he couldn’t eat it. She then walked him, took pictures for me and played with him enough to tire him out for a bit. She was so good with him anc it was so appreciated! ❤️❤️”
About: I grew up with labs my whole life so I’m very use to large dogs! The endless shedding doesn’t scare me away! I truly love all dog breeds though and I’m willing to open up to even the moody ones! I work full time 8:30-5:00 but I do have an hour lunch that I can make work for potty breaks and short walks! I can also stop by before and after work and I’m willing to stay during night weeknights too on occasion. I have an husband and two kids so I prefer to be home during week nights but with a notice in advance I can make it work. I am a bit OCD with my own pet care. My cat has an enclosure for his litter box with foam flooring for underneath the enclosure. I keep a broom, a shop vac and a swifter all just for his area. He has special prescription food and I keep his diet on a schedule. He gets lots of love daily and I plan provide the same care for your pets!

I have some extra time outside of classes and a part time job and am looking to spend that extra time caring for someone's pets, as I miss my own. Depending on how your home is, I'm able to let your pets out for some time outside, give them some playtime, and can feed them if needed.
“Brittany was prompt and reliable. She did not seem at all turned off by my two dogs’ energy level and ‘enthusiasm’ (including jumping) when she met them. I believe she did a great job exercising them. They seemed relaxed and settled when I returned home. I appreciated how well she kept in contact and the pictures she sent!”

Flexibility is everything to me, also being a caretaker to a grandparent, so if you are not sure if I am a good fit… let’s talk about it! My schedule is a balancing act but I am lucky enough to work from home, which allows me more flexibility with seeing and caring for my furry friends. I understand some things happen in life and I would love to help where I can! I will care for your pets in the exact manner you request, along with extra love, doting, attention, patience and empathy. Trust is everything when it comes to what you love, and my goal is for everyone to have the best experience.

About: I have experience providing both overnight pet care and daily drop-in/walk visits for dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and ages.

Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping pets company, I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work in a school, so I currently have weekends available and I will have summer available to provide daily walks in a few weeks.

“Megan was an amazing sitter! Our Frenchie had a little health issue prior to our drop off and Megan navigated a few restrictions on Tula's activity, as requested. She updated us with photos and reports throughout the stay, and we felt Tula settled in well with Megan. We highly recommend Megan and will be using her services again soon.”
“Sabrina provided a safe and loving environment for our fur baby. She communicated with us several times a day and sent pics and videos so we could see how well Sydney was doing. We will definitely plan to board our pup with her again!”
“Christina did a wonderful job with our dog! We are very happy, and would definitely hire her again! Our dog is 13 years old and has almost never spent a night away from home, so we were a little nervous. He stayed with Christina for 5 days and she cared for him so well! The daily texts from her were so nice and reassuring! She made it very easy for us and our dog! He must have been comfortable with Christina because he came home like he'd never left!”
“Very knowledgeable about dogs! Communicated well. Love that out dog had lots of space to run around and play with other dogs. We will definitely use Michelle again.”
“Matt was great to work with & took amazing care of our golden doodle. He has separation anxiety & seizures that are typically controlled with medication but in stressful situations he still will have them occasionally. He was obviously very comfortable at Matt’s & had zero issues.”
About: I’m 23 years old and I have 2 dogs. One is 7 and the other is 1 year old. I got them both when they were puppies so I’ve had dog experience for 7 years now. I like to take them for walks daily if weather is permitting as well as play fetch. I am a CNA but I do home care so my schedule is flexible, I can work mornings or nights. I love doing Outdoor activities. I have a nice fenced in back yard for them to run around and get their energy out. So far I’ve taught my dogs how to sit, shake, dance, and high five with both paws. I want to continue to teach them more tricks. I’m sure my dogs are looking forward to having more buddies to play with!
“Todd & Maureen personalize our Raven’s care and we appreciate that. They love dogs and it shows. We feel completely confident leaving our dog, Raven, with them - even for 8 nights like we just did. Highly recommended.”
“Buddy's stay with Edward went great. The drop off and pick up was quick. Ed took picture and sent update of Buddy chilling with another dog. I would highly recommend Edward and use him again in the future.”
“Larisa is very good with dogs. I also love that she keeps the dogs in her home. Our dog doesn't have separation anxiety but misses us terribly when we're gone. Being with a loving person really helped.”
“Excellent Rover experience! Rachel is very caring and consistently provides updates throughout the stay. Our dog is always very excited to see her. We recommend Rachel highly to all!”
“This was a wonderful environment to leave my dog. I felt like I was dropping him off at summer camp. We had daily contact with pictures and videos. I highly recommend Reyna.”
“Neeko loved staying with this wonderful family and they really seemed to enjoy having him. Actually, even though he was happy to see me, he didn’t seem to want to leave. That’s the best compliment of all, if you ask me. Will definitely ask them to take care of my pup again when the need arises.”
“Boomer had a great time. Nice big yard to play in and got lots of attention! I got daily updates and pictures of Boomer playing and having fun. We will definitely be visiting again!”
“We've boarded our poodle with Jeanne several times, including a couple extended stays. I can tell he loves going to Jeanne's, she always makes him feel right at home. Her house is clean and safe. She is attentive to my directions on care, feeding, and grooming. Can't recommend her more highly.”
“Tabitha was great with Addie! She and her family made a gentle introduction to their other dog, and they had endless running and playing in their fenced yard! She also sent a bunch of photos and a video. We were grateful that our dog had such a fun filled day while we were away!”
“Kelsey and her family made my pups feel at home the weekend they spent with them. They had never boarded before so I was nervous. She was very reassuring and communicative when I would text to inquire how they were. The dogs were safe and loved there. We would recommend Kelsey and her family as great place for your pet to stay.”
“My Jojo had such fun & Iris was so great to work with and kept me updated. Was very happy & would definitely recommend! She was great! Loved seeing all the pictures of the fun activities and updates over the weekend of my fur babies stay.”
