“This was our dog’s second stay with Merri Anne and she is the BEST. Rosie always seems to have a great time and comes back happy and clean. She went the extra mile to accommodate us when we missed a flight. Thank you Merri Anne!!”

“We were very happy to have Renae watch our pup and love on him. We really relaxed on our vacation knowing that Buddy was in good hands. We will definitely have Renae watch our Buddy in the future.”

“Nicole did such a wonderful job taking care of Beaux! She was flexible when we had a little change in schedule at the beginning of the visit, she made sure he got his medications and plenty of love, and just wrapped him into her family while he was there. I’ll definitely ask Nicole to sit for Beaux again when the need arises!”

“Poor David! And poor Ziggy! Our pup got sick over the weekend. (Not the fault of the family; he only ate what we sent.) We were kept informed how he was doing and were able to head home a little early. It's a holiday or we'd be at the vet right now. P.S. Thirty percent is the maximum Rover tip even for above and beyond service!”

“Amanda was amazing! We booked with her for a short trip to Yakima and felt very comfortable leaving our puppy with her. Her pups were great, and we loved getting an update during the weekend.”

About: love senior dogs, they need special love, but all animals need love, I am home most of the time and my two small dogs would love to have a new fur friend to play with now and then live alone and only leave my home two mornings a week, seldom otherwise, pet care would give me a little something more to look forward to they have the run of the house, have a doggy door, I sit outside with them, play ball, have toys and plenty of beds and blankets?
“Highly Recommend! Our dog had the best time at Carol and Brian's house this weekend! They sent us lots of photos of our happy smiling dog. I selected Carol and Brian because I was unsure about how our girl would respond to being without us for the firsttime. It was clear from reviews that Carol and Brian know how to deal with a wide range of doggy behaviors-- and seeing them in action was awesome. They gave us some training tips that we can use on our own. They have a warm and welcoming home in which our dog could be her best self. Thank you Carol and Brian!”

“She was the best person to watch are sweet little Rylee. She was so kind and warming. She sent updates twice everyday with pictures. She answered all my questions and text in less then 30 minutes time. I will definitely be using her again in the future, and I recommend her to everyone.”

Adina was very prompt,friendly& has excellent communication & sent photos.I strongly recommend Adina to anyone in the area looking for peace of mind & over the top trustworthy person to care for your precious pet!!”

“Andrew and Katie were AWESOME to work with! Very compassionate and dedicated to allowing Mabel the best stay ever. Mabel was so comfortable with both of them right at the beginning, which is unusual for our timid/anxious Newfy. Great communication, sent pictures often, asked appropriate questions. We HIGHLY recommend them and would not hesitate to have Mabel stay there again.”

About: I love dogs! Im looking to fill some of my free time, so here I am. Have dog sat growing up & grew up in a household full of dogs from all walks of life, grande to very little. I live in a cozy home with a front and back yard in pendleton, with 3 awesome pets of my own, my dog Xena, and my cats Boots & Frankie. Xena is a very loving, social and playful little girl who gets along with everyone. Frankie and Boots like to keep to themselves but are also very loving. I get the feeling of leaving, knowing your pet isn't going to be getting attention or walks that they need. If you need, I am available to ease your mind! Currently working part time so I have the time a few days a week to help out with your fur baby/babies. Here for the walks and pets, can do baths and brushings and in general keep them company I have a fenced yard and a kennels if needed. Many pet beds, a cat tree and plenty of toys. We have a very friendly doggo named Xena, she is a chiweenie and loves to make new friends. If needed she knows how to keep to herself. I also have two friendly cats, although they will take their time getting to know anyone new.

“Merri Anne was a great sitter and caretaker for us! She was reliable and timely and seemed to care for our animals. We will definitely be a return customer!”


About: I was raised with cats my entire life. I have adopted them from shelters and i have even rescued them sad situations. I love cats and can not imagine my life without a cat or two at home! They know just when your feeling down and need a cuddle buddy. Sometimes, if your lucky you can watch a cat exhibiting a behavior that wild, large breed cats do, such as stalking and hunting! Cats seem like they don't care if you are around or not, but if you ever have had a cat you know that's the furthest thing from the truth.

“Our dog, Theo, had a great time with Nicole and her family! They have a great, big property with tons of room to run. She was very accommodating to our fluctuating schedule. Most of all, Theo was a tired, happy dog when we picked him up from daycare which is all we ask for.”

“Carol & Brian took great care of my lab for the day. She had a lot of fun with their dog. I would definitely bring her back, as well as book her for overnight stays. Thanks again!”

“I HIGHLY recommend using Amanda to care for your pup! She’s treats your pup like her own. Mine came home happy n completely exhausted every time he visited her home. Her back yard is safe and secure as well.”

About: I have been pet sitting, and dog walking for many years. I use to house sit as well, but with two little ones I decided to stay to my home and go for quick visits to peoples homes. I take pride in caring for each animal I have in my home, and other people homes. They get spoiled rotten just like my own animals. I myself have three dogs of all different sizes, and a few rabbits as well for showing and my daughter for 4H. I have experience with all sorts of animals, Dogs, cats, poultry, rabbits, goats, pigs, and other smaller farm animals. I currently do not have a job so I am open to love on and care for your animals needs.

About: I studied animal science for two years at WSU and have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, and even fish! I send regular photo updates, can bathe your pets, walk them, clean your yard, and provide reliable overnight care. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether you need short term or long term help, I’m here to make things easier for you and your furry friends! I am currently working full-time from 3–11 PM at Providence and in the Air Force National Guard,but I can still easily accommodate morning and evening drop in visits, walks, or house sitting checks. My schedule actually aligns perfectly with typical pet routines: I handle early AM visits before my shift starts and late PM/evening ones right after I get off work. I’m very flexible on weekends and off days, and I always prioritize reliable, on time care for your pets! I care for pets in their own home where they feel most safe and comfortable. I follow all instructions carefully, keep their environment clean, and make sure they get love, play, and attention. I always respect your space and treat it like my own, ensuring your pet feels secure while you’re away.
About: I have had 20 years of one on one care of numerous different dogs and breeds. I have trained puppies and have done hospice care for my senior dogs. My love for dogs runs deeper than words can express. I have administrated medication in abundance of creative ways to administer. Walks and exercise is so important for the health of dogs and humans alike. It only takes about 5 minutes of time for dogs to get comfortable with me. They instantly feel the warmth, love, comfort and safety I am able to create, from years of knowing how to get to know them. I love exploring and hiking and I always love to have company that has four legs. I love to sleep with snuggle bears. If that is not something that is preferred I have had crated dogs and am comfortable not sleeping with them too. I welcome and respect your ways of caring for your pet and look forward to making your time away as comfortable and confident as possible. I am fortunate to have schedule flexibility. It is a pleasure to work with my client’s humans’ in advance in order to be prepared and meet their needs and expectations. I am able to come care for your pet where you are. I have limited space at my home. I can take care of their needs in the comfort of their known environment
About: Greetings! My name is Tifany, and I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. I’m an experienced sitter, and somehow find myself often accepting interesting duties for unique pets. I’ve given injections, medicines, and even haircuts to animals. I do my very best to love on your fur-babies the way that you want them to be loved, even the hard-to-love ones. I am reliable, trustworthy (because I fear God), and accommodating. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little ones, and you, as happy as can be! If boarding your pet is your preference, you should know that I do have a smaller apartment; two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room and bathroom, but small. I’ve found that some people want a little more space for their really big, multiple dogs. That’s okay, you should just be aware. But I’m also near a large college campus and it works well for walking your dogs with a lot of open space and plenty of plush, green grass. I also prefer to meet at a public space before meeting at my home — I’ve found that accepting a job must go both ways for your safety and for mine. If we decide that I should stay at your house while looking after your pets, you should know that I live as if you have cameras in every room, (except the bathroom, of course), because to me, God is with me and sees all anyway. It’s important to me that you know that this is my point of view in caring for your pets and home when you are away — with the most respect possible. There’s enough evil in the world, we don’t need any more, and I refuse to contribute to it. You should also be aware that I have a resident cat. Depending on whether or not your pet is amenable to this or not, I have the luxury of taking my resident cat to my adult daughter’s house for her to care for if your pup would prefer. So, I’m pretty flexible in this regard. In any case, I am a big fan of the Rover app and have had many wonderful experiences through this platform, boarding and housesitting pets, and I advocate for several other pet sitters on the app whom I personally know. I haven’t heard of any bad experiences from these friends yet. I hope you find the right fit for yours and your pets needs, and I’ll hope to make your acquaintance soon. Blessings to you and yours! 🙌🏼🐶🥰 I have one part-time job — I work in ministry 28 hours a week giving Bible studies to clients, mostly in-home, but the hours are flexible and able to be moved around if needed. This means that pet care is an easy integration in my schedule because I’m able to come home often to let pets out throughout the day. I want to be clear, however, as I’ve had this issue in the past, if you expect me to be home 24/7 with your pet, I cannot accommodate that request. I’m home more often then most, yes, but not continuously all day, every day. I have a decent backyard to walk pups in, and love to take dogs on walks in the evening, even in the cold, which I actually prefer over hot. I will say that I cannot handle overnight stays in a client’s home without A/C in warm weather.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life. Soon enough I started getting pet sitting gigs from friends and family. From elderly dogs to 5 week old kittens I love and cherish every moment with them making sure they get all my love and attention. I’m currently waiting to hear back from jobs so I have all the time in the world currently. So if you need a pet sitter I’m available! I have two skittish cats in my home so I sadly cannot take care of pets in my home. When it comes to clients animals I make sure they are comfortable with me and give them the attention they want. I available for long walks and lot of play time outside.
About: I have always had a passion for animals. Family and friends depend on me to take care of their animals when they go out of town on vacation or business. I able to adjust my schedule accordingly to your animals needs and care due to my work schedule being flexibility during the weekdays and weekends. I provide all animals their needs and care including providing food, fresh water, and taking dogs for walk. Most important giving animals love and care.
About: All my life I have loved and cared for animals. That's why after years of being the person my family and friends asked to watch and care for their pets, I decided to turn my passion into a part-time side hustle. I get excited on the days I wake up knowing I get to spend time with furry friends! I love all breeds and sizes of dogs, but I have particular experience with: Chihuahua's, Cocker Spaniel's, Terrier's, Labrador's, Retriever's, Pit-Bulls, Border Collie's, German Shepherd's, and Doberman Pinscher's. I'm currently attending an online university, which affords me scheduling flexibility for a variety of pet related needs. My own rescue dog, Bear has taught me so much about canine behavior and patience! He brings me continuous joy and fun every day. Rain, sleet, snow, or sun I pride myself on the reliability I offer. I have a genuine love for all animals and flexibility that includes weekdays, weekends, and holidays including Christmas. My availability allows me to have flexibility in scheduling weekday and weekend pet care, including early mornings and late nights. I am able to provide multiple drop-in visits per day. I am also available during all school and national holidays, including Christmas. My schedule is perfect for weekend getaways, family visits, and even the working pet parents. I offer free meet and greets before bookings so we can discuss your individual needs and decide if I am a good fit for both you and your pets. I usually respond quickly so feel free to message me with dates, times, and any other relevant information. I understand the challenge it can be to find good, reliable pet care that's tailored to you and your pets unique needs and schedule. That is why I offer a variety of pet care options. Including, 30-minute walks, 60-minute walks, drop-in visits, multiple pets, daily and drop in visits and walks, overnight care and extended stays. I can confidently administer medication, provide bathing and grooming, playtime and exercise time, and feeding and watering. I tailor care plans so it is specific to each pet. I also provide photo and text updates to give you peace of mind. I specialize in providing care in your home, so pets stay comfortable in their own environments while you're away. For overnight and extended stays I also provide simple home security measures (mail collection, package pickup, lights on/off, trash and recycle bins takeout) as well as plant watering and simple home cleaning, at no extra charge. Also, I offer repeat clients a discount for referrals to friends and family (and they book a service with me)
