Personalized care for your dog or cat - Washington
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Washington
“Samantha is wonderful!!! We are here for the summer and had to board our lab for a week. He was experiencing some allergies and Sam was more than happy to help! She provided updates, photos and videos of him throughout the week! We were able to add a day to our itinerary mid stay. Sam is very flexible! The location is exactly what we hoped for! Lots of space and outdoor time. Sam does daily walks. She offered to keep Riggs with the timid crew since he is a bit shy. Sam knows and love dogs! We are incredibly thankful for her!”
“Christina and Jason say that 'while your dog is with us, your dog is our dog', and they really mean it. They truly understand and love dogs. There is absolutely nothing else I could want in a pet sitter. I am so grateful to have found them. My dog is pretty darn happy about it too.”
“My dog Ziggy was well cared for, many videos and updates, recommend Gwynn highly. The property is beautiful so Ziggy had all the exercise he needed. Thank you Gwynn! The communication before during and after was easy and responsive.”
“I am truly grateful to have found Lexi to care for my dog, Vizhna. I need to board V for 11 weekends over a nine-month period because I'm going to school away from home. Vizhna gets anxious in new situations, so it was important for me to find one person who could do most or all of the weekends, instead of finding a different sitter for each weekend. I contacted 14 pet-sitters on Rover that didn't work out--before I contacted Lexi. Lexi is calm, competent, thoughtful, caring, and detail-oriented, and Vizhna was able to relax and enjoy herself while staying with Lexi and her family. That was a huge weight off my heart, to find a situation where V will not feel anxious while she's away from home--and in fact to find a second (temporary) home for V. I highly recommend Lexi for any pet care you need!”
About: I've owned and taken care of dogs my entire life. I'm proud to be one of the first people friends and family call when a petsitter is needed. I love walking, and I love dogs. This seems like the perfect opportunity to exercise and get my animal fix! I'm currently working full-time Monday through Friday. I can do evening walks after 5:00 PM (as weather allows) and I can do weekends between 9:00 AM - 6 PM. My current apartment doesn't allow pets, but I can housesit on weekends or in the evenings if the location is somewhat close to my work in Waterbury. I'm a long-time vegetarian, and have always had an extra sensitive heart when it comes to animals. I think that earning an animal's trust is such a privilege and gift, and I honor that. I cannot house pets in my current apartment, but I will follow the guidance and knowledge of the owners in their homes and while on walks.
“My wife and I didn’t have a chance to meet Alister, but we did have the pleasure of meeting Lika. She was amazing, friendly and welcoming. It was the first time we were boarding our pup and it’s safe to say she had such a great time that we don’t think she missed us much, ha. They have a great setup, dedicated area, and outdoor space and Lika kept us updated with pictures and text throughout the day. Highly recommended. We’ll be booking more for sure.”
“Anna was an outstanding pet and house sitter. She was professional, responsive, and incredibly patient with all of my nervous pet-mom questions throughout the stay. She arrived right on time, took wonderful care of my pets, and left my home in immaculate condition. She even washed all of the bedding without being asked, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated gesture. I came home to happy pets and a house that looked wonderful. I would not hesitate to recommend Anna and would gladly book her again.”
About: I can cater to whatever your dog needs. Whether that be daily long walks, runs, or just a simple stroll through the yard. Growing up with 2 dogs has taught me a lot Currently on summer break as I wait for my college graduate program to start. I can give your dog all the attention they need and deserve. I have a partially fenced in yard and I’m a very short walk to a lot of great trails and water. Also I have room for any crates that may be used.
“Kevin was great with our dog King. He kept us updated on how he was doing and sent us pictures while we were away. He took King on many long walks. King had so much fun he didn't want to leave when I came to pick him up lol. Thanks for taking such good care of him.”
“I feel so at ease when Elizabeth watches Harry. I can leave him knowing all his needs will be met and he’ll have a blast! Exchange and communication is consistently easy and reliable! So grateful!!”
“I was so thankful to find such an amazing couple to be able to spend the weekend with Loki on such short notice. We know he can be a stubborn old man with lots of emotions. Thank you Ali and Cody!!”
“Ann and I hit it off immediately as did my dog Jonas. She has a super welcoming home that is totally geared towards her dogs. My dog had a blast and was absolutely exhausted from all the fun he had while staying with Ann. We would book with her again in a heartbeat. 5+ stars!!!!”

Cat caregivers near you - Washington
“Marissa was very professional and did a wonderful job caring for my cat Eddie. Eddie is skeptical of strangers and hasn't felt comfortable approaching everyone who's watched him, which means he can be pretty stressed by the time I return. Within the first visit Eddie was comfortable approaching Marissa for treats/scratches, and his stress was very low when I returned!”
“Stoph was great! They were a clear communicator and took excellent care of my cat while I was out of town. I would recommend their services to anyone with a cat at home!”
“My cats adored her! My oldest cat is easily distressed and anxious at her old age and she was completely comfortable with Danielle. My younger cat clearly enjoyed her visits as well. I could easily tell their state from Danielle’s consistent photos and messages from her visits. It was the first time I returned home and my cats were not distressed from my time away. Danielle’s gentle, thoughtful, and clear communication made me feel relieved while away. I Highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again in the future.”
“Payton did drop in visits for our two cats while we went on a two week vacation. She was great with communication and sending photos for each visit. The cats were well taken care of while we were away. I recommend Payton as a friendly and reliable person. Thanks Payton!”
“Miranda was wonderful! She took on our cats very last minute and they warmed to her far more than most. Her calm presence really helped our skittish babies feel safe. Her photo updates captured their quirks well and I was assured by both her competence and kindness that they would be well cared for!”
About: I have had dogs in my life since I can remember, from family dogs to dog sitting for friends in high school, to now owning my own two little creatures. I am knowledgeable and comfortable with high-anxiety dogs and leash-reactive dogs (one of mine is both of these and more!) and am comfortable and confident with all sizes, breeds, and ages. There's nothing better than plugging into a good podcast and taking a nice, long walk with a furry friend. I have experience with all types of dogs, especially bully breed dogs (pit bulls, boxers, etc) and everything from high anxiety dogs to puppies to elder care dogs. I can administer oral medication, and have given humans shots before so with some owner coaching, would definitely be comfortable administering injected medication if needed. I'm currently working part time, so I have lots of time to take your pup on a walk during the day or hang with them while you’re out of town. I live in Burlington, VT, but I'm willing to travel. I am happy to come to your home where your dog is already comfortable and familiar. Having two dogs who have utilized Rover for this reason, I believe it is the best option for some high-anxiety dogs not to be put into an unfamiliar situation when their parents are gone. I am also available for drop in visits and/or neighborhood walks during the weekday! There’s nothing better than plugging in a podcast and taking a long walk with a pup!
About: I grew up with cats, both indoor and outdoor. In college I adopted my own cat who recently passed away at the age of 19. He was very healthy up until the last year during which time he needed special medication and some adjustments made to his living quarters. I recently adopted an adult cat named Angus and he has fit in with my dogs wonderfully! I’d love to help care for someone else’s kitty and make sure they’re given love and attention while their humans are away. I regularly take care of friends’ cats while they’re away.
About: I've cat-sat friends, families, and neighbors' cats since high school! I have experience providing them with daily medication and spending enough time with them to allow them to play and let out some energy. I will also take care of litterbox cleaning if needed!
“Sue is a very responsible pet sitter! She contacted me because one of my kitties was in hiding & she'd been looking for an hour! She is a very caring pet sitter - & with shy kitties, she is wonderful.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Washington
About: Growing up around a wide variety of animals has given me the skills and passion needed to be an attentive and responsible carer of all kinds of pets. I've owned several dogs, cats, rodents, and horses. I was responsible for administering medications, accommodating pets with special needs, becoming attuned to various behaviors and habits, and adhering to specific individualized training methods. I'm currently working full-time from home as a customer service rep for a small, local company and mothering my 2 year old toddler (who is very gentle and respectful around all animals). I'm fortunately very flexible with my schedule and can accommodate both last-minute and long-term schedules! Being a sincere animal lover, I'm always enthusiastically willing to tend to the needs of any pets that are under my care. I believe that both people and animals benefit from living in a clean and comfortable space, so I seek to maintain and accommodate that kind of positive atmosphere in your pet's home.
“Ann was wonderful! She took such good care of our dog Targhee in her beautiful home and her two dogs were so sweet! We were lucky to find her! Communication with Ann was also super easy and she was so nice! We highly recommend!”

“Marissa did a great job walking our two big dogs! She was very communicative and handled them with confidence. We really appreciated that she did a meet & greet beforehand so everyone felt comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Shannon is fantastic! She walked our very rambunctious dog every day for almost three weeks while I recovered from an injury. Shannon is prompt, reliable, and communicative. She took our dog on vigorous hour-long walks that left the pup snoozing and calm the rest of the day. The dog is already hoping I'll re-injure myself so she can see Shannon again. I will definitely turn to Shannon again for dog walking!”
“Amber was the friendliest and most reliable sitter for my 1-1/2 year old Malinois/German Shepard mix. She is truly a dog lover! Aura is a timid rescue pup. Amber’s gentle and calming personality contributed to my dog feeling enough at ease to venture out for sixteen hour long walks. It was such a relief to know that my fur baby was in caring, capable hands while I recovered from surgery. Amber, thank you for being a shining star when I needed canine help and support!!!”
About: Hi! I’m Sophie, a dependable animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I know every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, medication (if needed), or just a calm companion, I’m happy to help. I believe in providing updates with photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to detail, and I’ll always care for your pets as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I'm currently working 30 hours per week, in short shifts, i'm also a part time student. I have reliable days off and live building routine. I can easily crate and administer medication if needed, i'm able to walk and handle all dogs of varying breeds and behaviors. I love animals so any interaction is a treat!
About: When I was growing up my family always had dogs and cats. I have two dogs of my own (I have a senior shepherd mix and a 1.5 year old lab mix) as well as a cat. I work with middle school students during the school year and would love to spend my summer taking care of animals. My dogs are my priority so I can’t commit to overnights but with my days free this summer I would love to do some dog walking, house sitting and cat sitting. I work full-time during the school year but I have the summers off with plenty of free time to spend cuddling with some cats. I’d love to do dog sitting as well but am not sure I can commit to overnights as I have my own two dogs at home who need me but I’m open for daily support such as walks or feeding during the owners’ work hours. My dogs use a long lead out back and aren’t left unsupervised for long. When my cat was alive he had his own separate space away from the dogs as well as easier access to food, water and litter as he was arthritic.

“Colby did great with our Basset Hound, Muffin. They both seemed to enjoy each other immediately. They went for a nice walk, and Muffin offered Colby many kisses afterwards as a thank you. Colby seemed to handle Muffin's little antics quite well, and they parted as new friends. Thank you, Colby!”
