“Tiffany watched my dog Archie for a two night stay. He had never been away from me before. He's extremely attached to me as I work from home, & am with him 24/7. I was very worried about leaving him with someone he'd never met! Tiffany made me & Archie feel at ease! Archie got his own room, with his own TV. Tiffany has a great set up for dogs! Multiple rooms & yards for different sized dogs. You can tell dogs are her passion! Tiffany kept me updated the whole time with texts & pictures. She answered every text I sent! No matter how excessive it might have been! Lol I will definitely be using Tiffany in the future when needed!”
“Our first experience with rover and it couldn't have gone better.Thanks to Bethany and her family. They took care of our sweet little girl and sent us all kinds of pictures. We will be her again ! Thanks Bethany!”
“My dog only stayed with Kim for one night but I am super happy with the care he got, I received multiple photos and updates that put my mind at ease. Will rebook with Kim in the future!”
“Annmarie took wonderful care of our dog. We received several photos, videos, and other updates during our dog's stay. I also appreciated that she took the time to meet our dog before our trip”
“Jerrie sent photos and updates everyday. She was so kind and thoughtful in her communications all throughout the pre-booking and three week long boarding experience. We've never left our dog so long and were comforted to know he was in good hands. He came home happy and tired out.”
“This was my first time boarding Freyja, and I was nervous about leaving her with someone she didn’t know. Angelle has a lot of experience with dogs and handled Freyja’s high energy really well. She sent me pictures during her stay, which helped put my mind at ease. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would feel comfortable having Angelle watch Freyja again!”
“Daisy was well taken care of, had lots of play time, and adventures! Marianne was a fantastic communicator - we appreciated all the pictures and videos of Daisy during her extended stay. She had a little ear infection and they administered all her medications. We would definitely rebook!”
“Juniper and Jasper have stayed with Connie many times over the last 6 months. They are always happy and excited to see her which tells me they are well loved and taken care of when I am gone.”
“Jesse was fantastic with our dogs, Storm and Trooper. From the start he was easy to reach and quick to respond to every message, which made booking and drop-off completely stress-free on our end. Throughout the stay he sent regular photo updates, so we always had a good sense of how the dogs were doing and could see for ourselves that they were comfortable and settled in. When we picked them up, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and showed zero signs of stress or anxiety, which says a lot about the environment Jesse creates. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches, not just checking a box. Communication, reliability, and how our dogs came back are the three things we care about most with any boarder, and Jesse delivered on all three. Highly recommend Jesse if you want someone who treats your dogs like his own. We'll be booking with him again”
“Cale was so awesome to our girl! Daily updates accompanied by photos helped us rest easier during our travels. Would absolutely leave our precious pup in his care again in the future!”
“Deidre took such good care of my dog while I was on a long trip. She sent pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation. I'm so grateful for her kindness and care. She is highly recommended.”
“Desiree is the best! Josie Jo had such a good time there and felt very comfortable. Desiree sent photos and videos to that made me feel so good seeing Josie having fun. Josie got lots of love and attention and SO appreciated the love and care she got at Desiree’s. I will definitely use Desiree again!!”
“Excellent sitter! We're thoroughly impressed and will definitely be in touch again. Lauren was wonderfully kind to our cat and gave us daily updates with pictures. Never felt so much peace of mind while out of town!”
“Leanne was very professional. Before Finn’s overnight, we had a meet and greet. She had a form for his needs and information. Finn has anxious behaviors, so she asked many questions to make sure his stay was comfortable when he stayed. When Finn had his overnight, she sent multiple updates with pictures. She had toys for finn that he loved and he loved relaxing on her couch. It was a home away from home. We’re very grateful it went so well.”
“Soon is my go to sitter, if I want my pups to be spoiled! Soon and her family are amazing sitters! I highly recommend her. She is great with sending pictures and regular updates. A+ service and my pups left well cared for and happy!”
“I can't say thank you enough! Emily and Dean took good care of my senior dog while I got to have a much needed vacation and were even flexible to extend when trip complications arose. Communication was great and Bentley clearly enjoyed his time with their dogs. This was my first experience with Rover and having someone I didn't know take care of him. I was incredibly nervous but he was in good hands. I would definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Rhonda is amazing with my timid girl! This is our second stay and our pup was so happy with Rhonda and her sweet dog Brodie. Communication was great with updates and pictures. I couldn’t be more pleased with the care our girl received.”

About: Hi there! I’ve been house sitting and dog walking for family friends since I was around 10. I’ve grown up with many responsibilities on a cattle farm and love spending time with ALL animals! I also work at a dog kennel in Montesano WA, where I take care of many dogs and cats, making sure they are comfortable and get lots of love. I currently go to Adna Highschool where I compete in basketball and softball, so I’ve been looking for a flexible job to work during season! I have two dogs of my own, a silver lab and a heeler, they are well loved and played with lots on the daily. I have lots of experience with high maintenance water dogs and energetic farm dogs!
“Carina is the best!!! She took care of our 2 kitty’s and gave them so much love and attention, I don’t think they even missed us!! She sent us tons of pictures and updates, and we came home to happy kitty’s . Wonderful sitter, would recommend her without hesitation and we will be using her services again!! ?????”
About: My wife and I are self employed and looking to make extra money caring for your fur babies! We both have 13+ years experience caring for pets and currently have 3 furry friends of our own. We chose to do this together to be able to help as many families as we can and give you the peace of mind you deserve while away. We are familiar with many different breeds and are comfortable with all sizes and ages. Whether you are in need of a house sitter or just a walker for a day, feel free to message us and we’d be more than happy to help you out! Hope to hear from you soon! We are both self employed so our schedule is flexible. We have the freedom to work around all pet care needs so your pet is priority. We do not offer pet care in our home, as we value the comfort of our elderly Bulldog. We offer care in your home and would follow all instructions you give us and treat your pets as we would our own.
About: My name is Kaitlyn, and I'm a dog trainer in the Grays Harbor area. I have been successfully working with owners to rehabilitate fearful and/or reactive dogs for almost a decade now. I have also been a competitive dog agility instructor for 7 years. My own dog is Oakley, a Miniature American Shepherd, and he helps me with fearful or reactive dog clients by being a neutral dog with great communication skills. Before becoming a dog trainer full time, I worked at a dog daycare in Mukilteo for 3 years. It was a great experience and gave me a lot of knowledge about dog behavior and handling large groups of dogs. I compete in seven different dog sports with my own dogs, but we love agility and flyball most. I am available whenever I'm not already teaching classes or at a competition. Scheduling is open as we just moved to the new area from Seattle. I am experienced with dogs who are difficult or nervous around strangers. I use scientifically backed, LIMA guided dog training to guide dogs through their feelings as gently as I am capable while accomplishing learning. In any case, I like to engage with dogs in a way that's most comfortable for them. Each dog is different! I am not comfortable taking unfamiliar dogs off leash outside of the home or yard for safety reasons, but I am happy to work on this skill with them if requested!
“Becky is amazing with our pets! We have a very shy older cat, and she had him out playing with the other 2 cats no problem! She's an excellent communicator and very thoughtful.”
“This was my first time using Rover but Vanessa and Eulalia made it easy. Even though neither of my shy cats showed themselves, they seemed noticeably less anxious when I got home compared to other times I've traveled and had a friend watch them. I will be a repeat customer!”
About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals and love them all! Neighbors have relied on me to take care of their pets whenever needed I’ve done overnight care and daytime care going on walks or hikes I’m able to do whatever is necessary I’ve also bathed lots of dogs. I just moved back to Olympia so my availability is super open. I’m a licensed esthetician so I have been applying to spas in the area and will update my profile when I have found something but in the meantime I’m so excited to meet you and your furry friends. I grew up in a small town in Winthrop wa so our house was not in the city our pets have always been inside outside but I let them choose where they wanna go as long as it’s safe me and my family have always gotten two of everything just so they have a buddy. I’ll always check before I go somewhere with my dog just to make sure it’s pet friendly.
“Ashley took such great care of my three cats! She was very on time for our scheduled drop ins, extremely communicative, and genuinely cared for my cats’ well being. I would definitely hire her again!”
About: Ever since I can remember I have adored animals. I have always been the person who would go over to a friend's house and end up sitting by their pet the whole time! When I became old enough, I started volunteering at my local animal shelter and pet sitting as much as I could. At the shelter, I walked dogs, spent time playing with cats and kittens, and helped clean kennels and cages. I have also worked at a doggy daycare where I was around both large and small dog breeds. I had a senior dog of nearly 16 years who just passed away due to cancer so I have experience caring for senior dogs all the way to their end of life. I also have a rabbit who has had lots of health issues, so I am condfident with syringe feeding and administering medications. I am currently unemployed, though I do have potential offers in the works, so for now I have full availability! I will update my availability as it changes. Due to having a free roam rabbit, I am unable to offer boarding at this time. However, I will provide any sort of care necessary for your pets in your homes! I am very good at following directions if you have a list for me, but I am also good at just knowing what goes into caring for pets, such as watching for potty cues and noticing when they need mental or physical stimulation.
“Ashley took such loving care of my kitty cats! I could tell from the photos she sent and her sweet messages that she had a sincere interest in giving the kitties exceptional attention and care! Communication was absolutely stellar. You're one lucky pet owner if she takes care of your animals!”
“Shawna was fantastic! In addition to taking great care of my dogs, she communicated often and sent photos. I would actively seek to work with Shawna again in the very near future based upon her competitive rates, communication skills, and overall stellar performance in taking care of my dogs while I was away. 5-Stars.”
“Thank you, Vita for taking such excellent care of our cats! Our time away was very enjoyable as we knew that are fur babies were cared for so well. Vita came twice a day and administered medication to one of our 17 year-old cats and sent pictures of her playing with them and being so content and happy. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I have 2 cats of my own that are in door only. I’d love to care for your cat while you’re away! I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’m committed to providing patient, attentive care that helps them feel safe and relaxed in their own home. Whether your cat loves to play, prefers quiet companionship, or simply needs reliable daily care, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, fresh food and water, clean litter, and lots of love. I’m happy to follow any special instructions, including administering medications (if needed), maintaining feeding schedules, and sending regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. My goal is to treat every cat like family and provide dependable, compassionate care that keeps both you and your feline friend happy. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, respectful of your home, and truly enjoys spending time with cats, I’d be honored to help.
“Carter was a great house and cat sitter. He left our house just as clean if not cleaner than when we left. He stripped the bedding and bathroom and kitchen towels, washed them and left them folded. We got great kitty updates each day with pictures. Just an overall friendly guy and took great care of our kitties. We look forward to booking Carter again!”
“Veronica did a great job taking care of my cat Marm. She stepped in rather last minute when I had another sitter cancel and was fantastic peace of mind for me and a great companion for Marm. Shortly before I had to leave for a trip we suddenly lost my other 12 year old cat who Marm had been raised with since they were kittens. So I was concerned leaving Marm by herself. Veronica was great with her and all the communication and updates gave me so much comfort knowing she was there to give cuddles and attention and that Marm wouldn’t be lonely. She was quick to reach out and let me know when she had a concern and always provided great information and communication. She left the house looking great and was wonderful to work with.”
About: I have 3 dogs of my own; my old man toy poodle Chai, big baby Baxter, and sweet lil mama Maisie! All of them are non aggressive, and love new friends. My husband is military, so as we travel, I have worked on rescuing and rehabilitating animals in need. I’ve been doing kennel boarding/daycare for some time now, but am looking to specialize in giving individualized love, care, and attention to each of my fuzzy friends! When caring for your pets, I treat them how I would my own fur babies! I have experience in a wide range of animals, energy level, personality, and emergency situations. I offer socialization training with my own babies, so they can have amazing friends to play with! I am working towards an animal CPR & FA certification, as well as taking courses to become a certified dog trainer. I’m currently working from home, so I have plenty of time for taking care of your fur babies! I do regular potty breaks every 2 hours with scheduled activities throughout the day. All my kiddos are friendly and loving towards every new friend they meet! Your baby will be accepted as one of family in a well structured environment. Depending on every pups personal preference, I do slow distanced introductions and eventually close the gap till everyone is comfortable. Once introduced as friends, we can do all activities as a group!

“Tiffany has been fantastic with my dog Toby. He is always so excited to be at doggy daycare and meet new friends. Toby always comes home tired from a full day of playing and happy. I really enjoy Tiffany sending me picture updates.”
“Bethany is awesome! Very sweet and worked with my changing schedule which I appreciated so much. Chewy and Avery were very well cared for and had such a blast , they came home exhausted. Highly recommend Bethany and will definitely use her again :)”
About: Hi, I'm Wayne-Your Dog’s New Favorite Human! With years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, I provide loving, reliable, and personalized care while you're away. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just cozy companionship, I treat every pup like family. I’m fully insured, attentive to special needs, and always happy to send updates and pics to keep you connected. Let’s make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved — even when you’re not home! I’m unable to have a dog of my own right now due to my work schedule. I would prefer sitting on weekends. I’m available Thursday to Sunday I tailor my care based on each pet’s needs and routine, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home. In my home, I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, rest, and feel comfortable. I follow their feeding and exercise schedule closely and ensure they get plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their regular routine as closely as possible — from mealtimes and walks to medication and cuddle time. I keep the home tidy, respect their space, and provide regular updates so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands.
“Sarah did an amazing job with Appa! I had to take an exam for the majority of the day and was nervous on keeping him home. After meeting her and her pups for a meet-n-greet all my worries we’re gone. She updated me often with photos during the day care and small updates on how he was getting along with the other pups. I’ll definitely use Sarah again in the future! :)”
“Caitlin has been amazing with Nai’a! Though Nai’a is an anxious pup, she liked Caitlin instantly when we met the first time. Since then Nai’a has stayed over at Caitlin’s a few times and once Caitlin watched her at our house. One of the biggest challenges with Nai’a is that she runs away from her sitters. But, with Caitlin it’s finally been working out well and I feel so relieved to have found a regular sitter! Caitlin sends photos regularly and Nai’a seems to have fun at her house with her pups. Also, she is really sweet and flexible. Thanks so much for everything Caitlin!”
“I had so much anxiety leaving my pup but as soon as I met Desiree I knew she would be in good hands. I know she was cuddled and loved on so we enjoyed our trip. Will for sure book again ❤️”
“Always amazing! Our dog is very comfortable with her and her family, and when we pick him up it's just like he had a playdate! She's especially kind to him and to us. We can't recommend her more or thank her enough!”
About: -->PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BOOK<-- *I have 2 indoor cats (extremely friendly with dogs/cats) and they love to play with the pups. Make sure your pet is friendly with them too ^^ *If this is your first time with me please let's set up a Meet and Greet so you can meet me and my pets and make sure we are a good fit for your pup!! (I don't take new pets without a previous meet and greet, unless is an emergency case) My priority is to keep your pet safe, comfortable and fully entertained while you are away. Walks around the lake in our neighorhood surrounded by nature are a must do in our daily check list (sometimes we even take them to the mall to socialize and get free treats lol) As a pet sitter I'm offering house & pet walking/sitting opportunities to families (I'm willing to travel farther and pick up them by myself)! I have aided many friends & family members in keeping their pets safe to keep their stay-away stress free! I have years experience with dogs and cats. Feel free to DM for more details or if you need a better deal for long-term boarding 😊 I'm currently at home 24/7. My pets and I are used to wake up at 5:30 sm in the morning for the first "Potty Time" Breakfast between 7-8 am. Walks after midday, naps when/if they are tired. Dinner at 5 pm Generally I take my pets out for potty 3 times a day or when they ask me for. Every dog has their own personality so feel completely free to tell me their routines ❣️❣️(feeding time, potty hours, allowed or not on bed/couch etc) Max and Cleo are Great Pyrenees, 2 extremely gentle giants that love to play and take care of any kind of animals (they are very calm but they love to bark at the begging, they get tired easily after some minutes of play time). In the other hand, Kai is a medium size old doggy, he gets very excited with new pets but a few minutes later he just ignore them and likes to go back to take long naps on the couch. I have 2 friendly indoor cats, they mostly spend the day sleeping inside the bedroom or playing with the dogs from time to time.
About: Our dogs have been our best friends for 20 years. We give them the treatment they deserve such as tons of pampering, love and care! We are retirees looking to fill our days and as pet lovers we decided we should share that time and love to other furbabies! We had three beautiful Golden Retrievers, all now in doggie heaven ♡ We currently have a 4 year old, playful, male Goldendoodle, an instant playmate to your furbaby! We have a fenced yard and we live in a quiet neighborhood, close to parks and a lake nearby to take them walking! We are mostly home so we will spend a ton of time with your fur baby may that be on walks, quick trips to nearby parks and lakes (yes car rides!) or simply chilling in our zen garden. They are the boss of us! We care for them like our own and take into consideration what they are used to. Your fur baby's comfort is our priority. They will always have company and will never be left alone.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’m truly comfortable with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities—whether that’s a high-energy pup, a shy rescue, or even more exotic companions. I’m not afraid of any animals and approach each one with patience, confidence, and genuine care. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities, and I’m always willing to go the extra mile—whether that means extra playtime, longer walks, medication administration, or plenty of cuddles. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to give you total peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾 I am open right now, currently a mother to twins so just wanting to get out of the house, and love up on your sweet babies! I am open to early hours and late evenings into the night to take care of your pets. I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space for free roaming and a safe neighborhood to walk around at. I love to go for nature walks around Washington and know the best spots!
“Hi Scott, Thank you so much to you and your family! You were all awesome and took care of Olive as if she were part of the family. She felt right at home from the very first day, and the atmosphere in your home was incredibly welcoming. We truly appreciate everything you did.”
“Deidre was amazing with our two whippets, Oliver and Finley! She has a spacious, fully fenced backyard where the boys had a blast running and playing. Her two pups were super friendly and got along great with ours. Deidre was incredibly easy to communicate with—flexible, responsive, and made the whole experience stress-free. We’d absolutely book with her again!”
“Outstanding and fun care. Great communication and I picked up a happy, tired pup. Excellent fenced yard and shade for 'galloping' and rest. Sitter's dog and mine were compatible. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Highly recommended.”
“We had a really great experience! Jett & Denver were well taken care of, and it was obvious they were happy. We got tons of updates and pictures, which we really appreciated. They were also super accommodating to our pets’ needs, which made everything so much easier. Will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve had or taken care of pets my entire life. I will listen to you and what your pet’s needs are and will ensure that they get the best care. Being in the position of needing pet care myself at times, I know how important it is to be confident in your sitter. I currently work from home a majority of the time. I go into the office just 2 days a month. On the days that I go into work I will come home halfway through the day to check on your pets that I’m watching. Weekends are usually spent taking the dogs for daily outings. I can provide the importance of a 3/4 fenced in yard. I have multiple long cables and leads that can be attached to your dog’s harness if they need a little more assurance of not escaping. I am always willing to take your dog out on a leash if there is a threat of them running off. I love taking my pups out back on the acreage to run around. I have a 6-year old Golden Retreiver that is friendly with all other dogs and I recently lost my 14 year-old Basset Hound.
“Michael is AWESOME!!!! This was our first time using this App, we glad that we found Michael. He is very professional and very helpful. He understands puppt behaviors, was able to take good care of our puppy. He even gave us some training tips to help us train our puppy at home. Highly recommended and will book him again!”

“Madisyn has been doing a great job walking our big rambunctious collie. She is reliable amd communicative and may have some special magic, as our cat who is normally aloof with nonfamily took to her right away and followed her to get more pets.”
“Didn’t have the opportunity to meet Shawna in person before booking, but based on her great reviews and wonderful personality via texting, I had no doubts or worries about her taking care of my pet. She exceeded my expectations and when the time comes, I know who to go to!”
“Ashley was great! She came over for an initial walk to meet our pup while we were home, at our request, before starting weekly walks during the work day.

About: I had a wonderful Husky growing up, He was always bursting with energy and personality, eager to run, explore, and snuggle up next to me whenever the day ended. Having him around taught me responsibility, patience, and just how strong the bond between a person and a dog can be. After high school, I adopted a Rottweiler of my own. Raising him from a young age helped me understand training, structure, and daily care better. Soon after, my mom needed some help with her cat, so I welcomed him into my home. For a while, I had both a dog and a cat living together—learning to balance their different personalities, needs, and routines. Later, when my husband and I moved into our own place, we added another furry family member—a sweet Corgi who joined us about two years later. Each pet has brought something special into my life and has helped me grow as a caregiver. I’ve gained hands-on experience with both dogs and cats—from energetic working breeds to loyal guardians and independent, affectionate cats. Caring for them isn’t just about feeding and walks—it’s about building trust, comfort, and a little friendship along the way. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine since I work part-time with very flexible hours. I’m able to plan my schedule around visits, walks, and check-ins, whether they’re early mornings, midday, or evenings. Because I manage my own time, I can give pets consistent attention, unrushed care, and plenty of love throughout the week. I care for pets in my home and yours with the same level of love, patience, and attention I give my own. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and cozy environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I adhere strictly to their regular routines—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime habits—to ensure their security and comfort. In your home, I respect their space and maintain their familiar routine to minimize stress. I move at their pace, especially with shy or anxious pets, building trust through gentle interactions, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s energetic playtime or quiet cuddles, I prioritize making each pet feel safe, understood, and truly cared for.
“Veronica has been amazing!! She was available very last minute (the day before) when I needed someone to walk my newly adopted dog. She’s been an amazing communicator, willing to do the little things like wipe my dogs paws after a walk or use the same command words that I use for my dogs. The photos of her walks are an extra touch that warms my heart. Would definitely recommend Veronica for your animal needs.”
About: My golden is my boss, and I love it. I have had dogs my whole life and am finally in a position where I can help other people with their pups. Walking, playing…I can’t wait to meet all your puppers and doggos! I currently work part time so have pretty open availability for walks and playing. I could potentially board but it would have to be a good fit with my pup. I take my dog Simon on 3 walks a day as I live in an apartment. Keeps me active and him happy. I will do whatever the client needs I order to keep their pets as happy as mine.
“Keri was wonderful. This was the first time we used a service like this so we were a bit apprehensive. But once we met Keri in person we were totally comfortable! She got along great with Bo. We appreciate the pictures and nice message. Will absolutely book again. Thank you Keri!”
About: Ever since I can remember I have adored animals. I have always been the person who would go over to a friend's house and end up sitting by their pet the whole time! When I became old enough, I started volunteering at my local animal shelter and pet sitting as much as I could. At the shelter, I walked dogs, spent time playing with cats and kittens, and helped clean kennels and cages. I have also worked at a doggy daycare where I was around both large and small dog breeds. I had a senior dog of nearly 16 years who just passed away due to cancer so I have experience caring for senior dogs all the way to their end of life. I also have a rabbit who has had lots of health issues, so I am condfident with syringe feeding and administering medications. I am currently unemployed, though I do have potential offers in the works, so for now I have full availability! I will update my availability as it changes. Due to having a free roam rabbit, I am unable to offer boarding at this time. However, I will provide any sort of care necessary for your pets in your homes! I am very good at following directions if you have a list for me, but I am also good at just knowing what goes into caring for pets, such as watching for potty cues and noticing when they need mental or physical stimulation.
About: Animals are our passion, and we’ve built a life around caring for them. With over 20 years of combined experience caring for animals, we’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra love and attention. We also have extensive experience with reptiles, small animals, and pets with medical needs. Our home is full of love (and fur)! Our oldest dog is 13, and our youngest is nearly 1, so we’re familiar with a wide range of behaviors, energy levels, and care requirements. Melissa previously worked as a vet tech in training, so we’re also fully comfortable administering medications and understanding medical instructions. I’m a U.S. Army veteran, and my military background has helped shape me into someone who’s dependable, organized, and calm under pressure. I bring those qualities into every pet sitting job, aiming to keep your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away. Whether your pet needs early-morning walks, medication, or just someone to stick to their routine—I’m here to help. We’re currently available any time, any day—including holidays and last-minute bookings. Our schedule is 100% flexible, so we can easily accommodate your pet’s unique routine. When caring for pets in your home or on their usual walking routes, safety and trust are always top priorities. We take the time to understand your pet’s environment, routines, and needs—whether it’s a quiet walk through the neighborhood or special instructions for your home while you’re away. We’re respectful of your space and treat your home with care and professionalism. You can count on us to follow your instructions closely, lock up securely, and maintain a clean, safe environment for your pets. During walks, we stick to routes your dog is familiar with (unless instructed otherwise) and always keep them leashed and under control. We’re alert to potential hazards like traffic, other dogs, or wildlife and will adjust as needed to keep your pet safe and calm. Communication is key—we’ll keep you updated and will always reach out if anything seems off or needs attention.

I love playing with them, taking them outside, feeding and can also clean litter boxes

“Tiffany watched my dog Archie for a two night stay. He had never been away from me before. He's extremely attached to me as I work from home, & am with him 24/7. I was very worried about leaving him with someone he'd never met! Tiffany made me & Archie feel at ease! Archie got his own room, with his own TV. Tiffany has a great set up for dogs! Multiple rooms & yards for different sized dogs. You can tell dogs are her passion! Tiffany kept me updated the whole time with texts & pictures. She answered every text I sent! No matter how excessive it might have been! Lol I will definitely be using Tiffany in the future when needed!”
“My dog only stayed with Kim for one night but I am super happy with the care he got, I received multiple photos and updates that put my mind at ease. Will rebook with Kim in the future!”
“Jerrie sent photos and updates everyday. She was so kind and thoughtful in her communications all throughout the pre-booking and three week long boarding experience. We've never left our dog so long and were comforted to know he was in good hands. He came home happy and tired out.”
“This was my first time boarding Freyja, and I was nervous about leaving her with someone she didn’t know. Angelle has a lot of experience with dogs and handled Freyja’s high energy really well. She sent me pictures during her stay, which helped put my mind at ease. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would feel comfortable having Angelle watch Freyja again!”
“Daisy was well taken care of, had lots of play time, and adventures! Marianne was a fantastic communicator - we appreciated all the pictures and videos of Daisy during her extended stay. She had a little ear infection and they administered all her medications. We would definitely rebook!”
“Jesse was fantastic with our dogs, Storm and Trooper. From the start he was easy to reach and quick to respond to every message, which made booking and drop-off completely stress-free on our end. Throughout the stay he sent regular photo updates, so we always had a good sense of how the dogs were doing and could see for ourselves that they were comfortable and settled in. When we picked them up, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and showed zero signs of stress or anxiety, which says a lot about the environment Jesse creates. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches, not just checking a box. Communication, reliability, and how our dogs came back are the three things we care about most with any boarder, and Jesse delivered on all three. Highly recommend Jesse if you want someone who treats your dogs like his own. We'll be booking with him again”

“Leanne was very professional. Before Finn’s overnight, we had a meet and greet. She had a form for his needs and information. Finn has anxious behaviors, so she asked many questions to make sure his stay was comfortable when he stayed. When Finn had his overnight, she sent multiple updates with pictures. She had toys for finn that he loved and he loved relaxing on her couch. It was a home away from home. We’re very grateful it went so well.”
