“Barbara is the perfect sweetheart to leave your pup with. Uly felt so at home with her …immediately! Her back yard is divine for zoomies and she even took Uly different places for walks… like a surprise daily field trip!! He was such a happy kid we we picked him up. Barbara’s a gem you can trust :) with your pup!”


“Our sitter Jan was marvelously accommodating!! Not only was she welcoming and considerate of all our dogs needs but was a genuinely sweet person. I could not recommend her more. Thank you Rover but mostly Jan!”

“Cynthia was absolutely wonderful with our pups! She sent us lots of photos and updates throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. She truly goes above and beyond. She even gave our dogs a bath before we picked them up, and while they were there, they got to join in celebrating her dog’s birthday! She did the cutest birthday photo shoot and even sent our pups home with little goodie bags. Such a fun and thoughtful surprise! It’s clear Cynthia genuinely loves dogs and treats every one like family. Our pups came home happy, clean, and loved. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing sitter!”

“Sarah was great with our dogs and was willing to administer Ivy's medicine when she unexpectedly hurt her back just before our trip and gave her extra care. Thank you Sarah!”

“Kimberly was amazing with our pup! She has a great setup and an obvious heart for pets. She was so kind to send us pictures/videos to help us feel better about leaving him behind. We’ll be using her again!!”

“Belinda was fabulous and it's clear she is an animal lover! She kept me updated with texts and pictures and provided plenty of walks and play time! Tonks had such a wonderful time, I don't think she wanted to leave when I came to pick her up!”

“Jennifer was really kind and upfront about caring for my dogs who have some anxiety. She has such knowledge and skill she could manage them with aplomb and it allows me to feel comfortable leaving them with her.”

“Matt and Sander took excellent care of our pup while we were away for a week. They sent a ton of great updates so we knew she was having a great time! They were very easy to book with and communicative throughout. Would definitely book again or recommend to a friend!”

“Alisha took good care of our dog. He played with her dogs and kids. Gave him a bone chew and was kind to give him a bed since we forgot his. Will use her again for our dog!”

“Stephenye watched Lola for a week and she took such great care of her. She sent daily updates with videos and pictures. Stephenye was very sweet about my anxiety around leaving Lola, and reassured me. I could tell Lola was very relaxed around her at the meet and greet. She also has two extremely sweet dogs who got along very well with Lola. Highly recommend her services!!”

“Lorelei was absolutely fantastic! She watched our Jack Russell while my husband and I were away for a long weekend last minute, and I could not have been more comfortable leaving our girl in her care. Our dog suffers from separation anxiety, and during her stay with Lorelei she was not left alone even once. After bringing her home, she was so exhausted from a weekend of play that she slept for almost an entire day. Would definitely recommend her, and will be booking with her again!”

“Our pup had a great stay with Izzy. He had fun playing with other dogs, going on hikes and running around in the yard. My kids were missing the dog so much and it was awesome to receive all the pics and videos during the stay. Thanks Izzy for taking such good care of our puppy.”

“Morgan was sooo easy to book with and made us feel so comfortable with leaving our puppy with her. She did an awesome job keeping us in the loop and even sent us a picture of our pup hanging out with hers. Highly recommend her !! 🤍”

“Teri is Amazing. Kind, gentle and very caring. I highly recommend her. Addie told me she never wants to go anywhere else!! Thank you so much Teri. Nikki and Addie”

“Lori and Gary were wonderful to work with. They helped us through our first Rover reservation and were friendly, welcoming, and attentive to both of our dogs. Their home was well set up for dog sitting and Cooper and Marge loved their time there. We will be back again, for sure!”

“Susan is fantastic, friendly and easy to work with. She sent regular photos/videos of my dog. She kept my dog happy and exercised. She even let Cooper sleep next to her at night, with her own dog on the other side. She was a dog sandwich! I highly recommend her because she is attentive and really cares about dogs.”

“Mike is an excellent pet sitter and I would not hesitate to call on him again! He treated Fox like he was his own. He got plenty of walks and potty breaks, and individual attention he would not have had elsewhere. Fox loved his stay, no bones about it! Thank you, Mike, for taking such good care of our senior pup.”

“My pet is recovering from a pretty serious injury and surgery, so I was glad to find Chaselyn to be very knowledgeable and that she has a long veterinary history. She was comfortable dropping in and giving medication, checking his surgery site, and giving him a little company while I had to be out.”


“Bevin paid close attention to instructions and didn’t hesitate to ask for clarification when needed. She regularly sent photos, which provided reassurance that the kitties did not stay in their hiding place, but were comfortable hanging out with her. She left the place in tip-top shape. Bevin is responsible and caring. I would definitely contact her again for pet/house-sitting.”


“Chantelle was so kind and attentive. She was attentive to my cat, Chiari, provided updates, and played with her. I’m so grateful for her help and care. Definitely would recommend booking with her!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and can't imagine life without them! Most of mine were rescues but I have a heart for all (also including cats, horses, donkeys, chickens). My 14-year-old hound mix Charlie crossed the Rainbow Bridge a few years and while he took a little bit of my heart with him, I really miss being with and caring for animals again. I have filled this need with pet sitting and volunteering at equine rescues and equine-assisted therapy non profits. If you want your big and little ones treated and loved just as you would do, I’m here. I’m a baby-on-the-sofa, next-to-me-in-bed kind of pet carer — and I’m happy to follow your rules if that means floors and crates (there’s still plenty of opportunity for love and affection). We will walk, play, snuggle and be as active as your pet needs. We can do car rides and doggy parks, visit friends, have play dates, go for puppucinos. I’m flexible, open, and want only for your pets to be as happy with me as they are when you’re home. I’m what I always looked for in my extensive use of pet sitters: dependable, committed, at home most of the time, and a true animal lover. I’m happy to administer meds as needed, have cared for my own senior dogs with limitations (deaf, dementia, physical limitations, hospice). I will not only care for your fur family as I would my own (which means a whole lotta of love, interaction, play, and attention), but I will care for your home in the same manner. I’m all grown up, mature, responsible, and reliable and have been a homeowner for years. Your home will be clean and maintained, ready for your return, and your pets will be cared for and happy to see you. I have been fortunate to have had at-home pet sitters who were superb. That’s what I wish to offer to someone else and their fur babies. Peace of mind, certainty that all is well, and confidence that their pets are safe, sound, and happy. I am retired from Emory University, so I am readily available. What Susan would like to know about your pet? Please let me know feeding habits, amounts, times. Normal bed/wake-up times. In and out times. Walking preferences, favorite toys, favorite activities. If there’s anything that scares or worries your pet, tell me. Medical history, let me know. Additional Skills Oral Medication Administration Special Needs Dog Experience Senior Dog Experience Cat care-also chickens and birds Can provide daily exercise. I am soon to be retired, work at home part-time and am finally fulfilling my passions-pet sitting, equine rescue volunteering and just bumming around. What could be better-dogs, horses and retirement? Your pet’s usual day is my day. Sleep late or not. Go for multiple brisk or leisurely (sniffing time!) walks. Lounge around at home or go for rides or to the doggy park. I’m flexible, open, and want only to make your little ones as happy as they can be without you.
About: I’ve had a pet (or 20) as long as I can remember but I’ve been working in the pet field professionally for 6 years now. Everything from fostering, pet care, dog training, dog walking & sitting, & working in a shelter. I also work with TNR everywhere I go. I love my scaly & feathered friends as well; I have experience across the board. I’m comfortable with bottle babies, seniors, pets with special needs (can administer most medications), & pets with high anxiety/reactivity. I ride horses professionally but only a few days a week so I have plenty of free time to tend to your pets and your home :) I strive to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible while you’re away! Whether that means sticking to a detailed schedule, maintaining training expectations, or simply providing extra playtime and cuddles, I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. I’m happy to accommodate most special instructions and quirks that help your pet feel comfortable and secure.
“Brian did a great job checking in on our dogs! We were gone on a day trip and just need someone to stop bye and let the dogs out. He handled them very well, took pictures and let us know everything was okay. We will definitely we reaching out in the future 💗”


About: Cats are creatures worthy of worship. And demand respect. Whatever age, they are always authentic and unapologetic. I deeply appreciate them, their intuition, instincts, and quirks. I have had them as companions, friends, and tended elder ones. I will happily do drop in visits for people with just cat(s)or both cat(s)and dog(s). My dog will not accompany me for any of my drop in visits.
About: I am a very loving and reliable house and pet sitter. I will always provide personalized attention, making happy tails, and peace of mind while you’re away! Available anytime — even last minute! Reliable, loving pet and home care, giving you peace of mind whenever you need it. Attention to detail is always my priority! I provide safe, reliable in-home pet sitting by maintaining your pet’s normal routine, ensuring a familiar and stress-free environment. I offer personalized care, regular feeding, exercise, and lots of attention, always keeping their safety first. Whether it’s daily visits or overnight stays, I treat your pets and home with the same care and respect as if they were my own.
About: I have had over 20yrs experience pet/house sitting and have impeccable references. If you are looking for a responsible person to shower your 4~legged companions with oodles of TLC, look no further. I am available to care for your pet(s) at your home or mine. I live on a 50 acre property with lots of room to romp and exercise on or off leash. I also live across from a 2000+ acre recreation park/sanctuary with mikes of hiking trails for additional exercise and adventures. I am a semi-retired RN so your pet(s) would not be left alone for any length of time. I look forward to basking in their company and doting on them 24/7. Please contact me for any questions. Thank you for your consideration. ~Claudia I am a retired RN so your dog(s) would have me to keep them company all day along with our own 2 dogs (4 yr old Basset Hound and 8yr old English Springer Spaniel) who both neutered very dog friendly males. We have a lovely fully fenced 8+ acres property and comfy home for your dog(s) to have the run of along with our 2 dogs. We are both home all day and there is always someone here at all times. No dog is left home alone. We also have a caretaker who tends to the the 2 horses and mini donkey (whom live in separate pastures from the main property, as well as / goats that live in a back pasture. We have a fully fenced 8 acre property with a four ft fence. Dogs are free to have access to entire property as well as free range indoors. We have a very comfortable home with a large wrap around deck and 5 exits. So it’s in/out all day as much as any dog wants/needs. It’s truly doggie heaven here and most people want to stay themselves when they drop off their dogs. We don’t care for more than 2 at a time.

About: I understand that every cat has their own personality, boundaries, and routines—and I always respect that. Whether your cat loves playtime or prefers quiet companionship, I create a calm, safe, and stress-free environment for them.

“Abby was a prompt communicator and very thorough in her photos! Loved how attentive she was with Ume and to our requests. Highly, highly recommended and we’d love to book her again!”


About: I’ve taken care of cats my entire life. We had an older cat and also kittens as well. Cats are truly amazing I really love taking care of cats. I think my favorite part is training cats how to sit!
“Margaret is the Best! She took very good care of my cat son Peanut. She even taught him how to “sit” on command. I trust Margaret in my home and in caring for my prescious Peanut. I highly recommend Margaret 😊”


“Dawn came to our rescue for a second time recently, when we needed a last-minute walk and feeding. Our boy was happy and in great spirits when we came home, and Dawn updated us with many photos so we knew he was well taken care of :)”

About: I have had 2 dogs and 2 cats in the past and loved them dearly. I haven't had my own dogs recently but have enjoyed my friends dogs and cats immensely! I miss the company of pets and thought this would be an excellent way to have my pet fix by taking care of other peoples pets. Please bring your pets bed or if he or she is comfortable they are free to sleep with me and sit on any couch or chair in the house. I would love to take them for walks to the beach if you approve. I would take them for walks around this quite neighborhood and since I am retired we would have lots of time together to play and enjoy each others company.
“Repeat customer here. We take our two dogs to Reagan and feel confident they are cared for! They are happy to go and happy when the return. I'm convinced my lab rather stay there most times. Which both breaks my heart and makes me feel good he is happy. Totally recommend!”

We are retired and love 2 daily hikes on our 3.3 acres in the country. Pups have a window seat to look out and enjoy sun bathing. Dogs are left alone for very short periods of time. Pups sleep near the people. Dogs love it here and we love dogs being here. Retired. I swim 3 days a week, but other than that.... I am home most every day...all day and night. We recently became a one dog home...Our old pup Nike was at least 17 years. Samson, the Bichon loves all dogs and welcomes them with open paws! Our home is safe for dogs and baby proofed for when Grandchildren visit. Safety first is very important standard we live by. We have a dog camera for when we are away at pool, or grocery store.
“I cannot recommend Tyler and Emily enough for dog care. My dogs immediately felt comfortable in their house, which for one of my dogs can be challenging, as she is quite nervous in new situations. I got tons of communication and photos throughout their stay, and both dogs were snuggling and playing as if they’d known them for a while. I will definitely be back and if anyone is needing incredible dog care, look no further.”

I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family!
“As always, Angela saves the day! She messaged me back right away despite me requesting daycare with very short notice. She saved me the stress and trip of dropping them off or picking up. And she took amazing care of our babies while they were with her. She’s the best!”

About: Hello Pet Owners- I am a guy living in Shoreline. I am trying to come away from a 30 year career and work my way into a quiet, peace-filled retirement. Hopefully one filled with wonderful dogs. I have owned dogs virtually all of my life. They are my children, and are treated as such. I care deeply about them, their welfare, and their happiness. Over the years I have dealt with medications, blind dogs, cancer, three legged dogs, and wheelchair dogs like Gracie. My current dog, MoMo is sweet as pie, but quite lonely, and wants a few new companions. I live in Shoreline, and access two different dog parks for exercise and social activity. I drive a new pick-up truck so your dog will ride in comfort. I have both Venmo and PayPal, to make payments electronic and easy for everyone. I also have a fully fenced yard, if you and your dog are searching for warm, comfortable overnight accommodations. Please reply and we’ll discuss arrangements, rates, and build a system of comfort and exercise for your dog. I am trying to retire, which for me, involves lots of time with dogs. So I am readily available to care for your pets in a daily, weekly, or whatever basis works with your schedule. My dog, and so yours as well, will be well attended to. I don’t allow dogs on the furniture, and I prefer to not use cages, but am happy to if your dog is used to or prefers that type of structure to be comfy. I have plenty of dog beds for comfort, I use all naturally made and healthy dog treats. I have a fully fenced yard which is occasionally visited by brave squirrels, so activity and amusement is plentiful. There are a number of toys, ropes, balls, bones and other chew toys for those dogs who simply need some time to chew and think about life in general. Dogs are put out when they need it, and let in when it’s time to nap. Just as it should be.

I love my scaly & feathered friends as well; I have experience across the board. I’m comfortable with bottle babies, seniors, pets with special needs (can administer most medications), & pets with high anxiety/reactivity. I ride horses professionally but only a few days a week so I have plenty of free time to tend to your pets and your home :) I strive to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible while you’re away! Whether that means sticking to a detailed schedule, maintaining training expectations, or simply providing extra playtime and cuddles, I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs.

About: —~> Ask about Farm Animal Care <~— Spending time with animals is a gift. It is a joy to meet new furry friends and give them extra love while their caretakers are out adventuring or working. I love to go for walks on the beach or in the woods. I like to chase sunsets and sunrises. All of which are more enjoyable with sweet creatures. I adore giving affection and opportunities to play for both cats and dogs. I have tended to a variety of different types of animals over the years. Some need ample one on one attention. Which I accommodate by giving them solo walks and separate meal times when requested. Others who loved to be social or had other animal roommates that needed plenty of outdoor time. Elder cats and dogs who needed extra special care, medication, fluids, and special diets. Dog and cat drop ins can make a world of difference for an animal navigating extended time away from their people/person. I give them all focused attention, consideration, bonding interactions and love. Dog walks are a vital key to their health and well being. It takes a village to tend to our critters too! Human and animal. I have many special spots for them to enjoy throughout the Olympic Peninsula. Including safe off leash areas when requested. I have a 7 year old dog, Hoodi. She does not come with me for cat or dog drop ins. Dog walks can include her company or not, always at your discretion. She does join me for overnight pet sitting and loves other dogs. She tends towards submissive and loves to chase and play. She is very mellow indoors and enjoys watching the activity of others. Throughout her life she has helped with pet sits. For her first four years of life she lived with two other dogs. She is a great addition to any pack. I have experience farm sitting which includes plant watering of green house, gardens, field and pasture. As well as goat milking, poultry care, and feeding of cows, horses, goats and pigs. Feel free to message me in booking about pricing for full time/part time farm care. Please note my pet sitting is limited to the Olympic Peninsula and Kitsap County. I pet sit most frequently in Port Townsend, Discovery Bay, Sequim, Blyn, Port Ludlow, Brinnon, Port Gamble, Quilcene, Chimacum, Port Hadlock, Irondale, and Marrowstone Island. Occasionally I will work in Port Angeles, Joyce, Forks, Queets, Poulsbo, Kingston, Bremerton, Bainbridge and Silverdale. I prefer extended house sits and like to build solid bonds with animals. I prioritize repeat clients. I have additional references outside of Rover. As many of my clients book me via word of mouth. This profile gives ease of access to my calendar. I currently work seasonally teaching art based school break kids camps and afterschool programing on the Olympic Peninsula. I spend the rest of my time making art from home and adventuring outdoors. This means I can have extended quality time with your pet(s) for walks and/or outdoor play and indoor care. Summer is my busiest season as a teacher. I have less availability during it. I believe maintaining routines and exercise is important for the physical and emotional well being of all animals. I will strive to uphold this and adapt my schedule as best as I can for your pet(s). I enjoy taking the time to communicate with you about your desires, concerns, texting check ins and sending sweet photos for your peace of mind. As every pet is an important family member. I know them to be kin.
About: Hi! I’m Vanessa, an experienced and dependable pet caregiver newly relocated to the Shoreline area. I previously provided pet-sitting and dog-walking services before stepping away to focus on my professional work and relocation. I’m excited to begin caring for local pets again and build lasting relationships with families in my new community. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone who is patient, attentive, communicative, and respectful of your pet’s individual routine. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and will keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit. I’m currently available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and cat care in Shoreline and nearby communities. I’d love to meet you and your pet! I work full time from home and create my own schedule so I will have plenty of time to chill with your pets! I am flexible with weekends and weekdays. I provide a calm, structured, and supervised environment. I work from home, so pets are never left unattended for long. I have one puppy in training and two low-key cats who mostly keep to themselves. I can crate your pet if needed or provide a separate space to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. Your pet’s routine and comfort always come first.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs consistently for the past 7 years! I’ve fed, administered medication, and walked many pups of all ages for family, friends, and clients! I’m currently living out in WA. My schedule has been super free typically all year around. During the winter I will fly to Boston for work then come back here a month or so after! My goal is to bring you peace of mind about your pups or pets! I can care for them in your home as I am currently renting at the moment.
About: My personal dog and I have experience on high elevation mountains that are demanding physically and mentally. We will be able to provide your dog with an enriching experience in nature while staying safe. I am a traveling school speech therapist assistant currently on summer break looking for side jobs to keep me afloat and save money for graduate school. I have my own vehicle and my own large breed dog that will always accompany on my pack walks. We will hit hiking trails starting at 4:30am to be done with the walks by 8am during the Arizona summer.
About: I love taking walks especially with dogs. I’m very kind. I’d love to get to know you and your dog. I have lots of experience with animals. I’m experienced with dogs who where sick taking medicine. I love puppies very well with training them. I’m flexible during the week. I will handle any dog of all kinds. Love playing catch with dogs. My availability is morning times or evening whatever works for you just let me know. I make sure they are fed. Go potty every hour. I try to train as much as possible from the good and bad. I just have a good connection with animals I love caring for dogs. So if your willing I’d love to watch your dog for you! I currently am a stay at home mom so I’m free of all hours, and I really love spending my time around different breed animals. I have a fully fenced yard. I have 4 dogs who are friendly love to play. I take my dogs to the dog park or let them run. I love giving them spa treatment clipping nails, long baths, making sure your dog is well fed and clean.
“Margaret is extremely conscientious and dedicated. She did say thorough call to understand my dog's behaviors and needs. Since Carly is a dog-reactive rescue with a traumatic history, and we have been working with a trainer, I am always reluctant to have someone new walking her. It's hard to be sure they will reinforce her training and ensure a calm walk, even if they encounter other dogs. Margaret made sure to understand and use the same equipment and commands and techniques we are using to give Carly the exercise she needed while my partner and I were sick. I would have no qualms having her house-sit and stay with Carly. I know she is trustworthy and genuinely cares about the animals she spends time with. I would highly recommend her for anyone, especially those who are nervous about their dogs with others. Carly is friendly and loves all people, and she has a little separation anxiety and more than a little territoriality around other dogs. And yet Margaret handled her expertly and lovingly, gaining both her trust and mine. She even suggested ways to help training progress with fewer treats and more praise as Carly improves her threshold around other dogs. Margaret not only came through on short notice, but she instantly built a relationship with both us and our dog which means she will be my go-to walker and sitter from now on.”

“Leah is SO wonderful! She really helped me out on short notice. She is a great communicator, and helped feed my dog after his walk!! You’re in good hands with her. Thank you so much Leah for your help again!”

“Sarah was great with our dogs and was willing to administer Ivy's medicine when she unexpectedly hurt her back just before our trip and gave her extra care. Thank you Sarah!”

“Kimberly was amazing with our pup! She has a great setup and an obvious heart for pets. She was so kind to send us pictures/videos to help us feel better about leaving him behind. We’ll be using her again!!”

“Belinda was fabulous and it's clear she is an animal lover! She kept me updated with texts and pictures and provided plenty of walks and play time! Tonks had such a wonderful time, I don't think she wanted to leave when I came to pick her up!”

“Matt and Sander took excellent care of our pup while we were away for a week. They sent a ton of great updates so we knew she was having a great time! They were very easy to book with and communicative throughout. Would definitely book again or recommend to a friend!”

“Stephenye watched Lola for a week and she took such great care of her. She sent daily updates with videos and pictures. Stephenye was very sweet about my anxiety around leaving Lola, and reassured me. I could tell Lola was very relaxed around her at the meet and greet. She also has two extremely sweet dogs who got along very well with Lola. Highly recommend her services!!”

“Our pup had a great stay with Izzy. He had fun playing with other dogs, going on hikes and running around in the yard. My kids were missing the dog so much and it was awesome to receive all the pics and videos during the stay. Thanks Izzy for taking such good care of our puppy.”

“Morgan was sooo easy to book with and made us feel so comfortable with leaving our puppy with her. She did an awesome job keeping us in the loop and even sent us a picture of our pup hanging out with hers. Highly recommend her !! 🤍”

“My 70#, 18 mo, still growing pooch, Coco Chanel had a wonderful time with Chris and his dad. They sent pix every day while I was recouping from an unexpected out of town interruption. When I was ready, I picked her up. She was calmer, gentler and more polite than before I left her. Coco Chanel will be making return visits, maybe just for fun.”

“Nicole & Cody go above and beyond! Our pup is always excited to see them and has a blast while in their care. They're super responsive and regularly send the cutest photos.”


About: While I may be new to professional pet sitting, my husband and I have been dog owners for nearly 10 years, and our kids have grown up loving and caring for animals, so having pets around is a normal part of our family life. Caring for our own dog has given us a lot of hands-on experience with special dietary needs, administering medication, daily walks, and basic grooming. We understand how important it is to trust the people caring for your pet, and we will treat every pet in our care like they’re part of our own family. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom and homeschool my 3 kids, so we’re home quite a bit! Daily walks are already part of our normal routine, and we’ll be happy to include your pup. There will also be plenty of time for play, attention, and snuggles throughout the day. The longest we typically leave the house is about 3–4 hours, and that’s no more than twice a week. We have a fenced backyard. It is on the smaller side, but there is still plenty of room for a little play and fresh air. We also have baby gates in place to keep our toddler safely in areas where we can supervise him, and those will also be used to help keep pets safely separated when needed. We want every pet in our care to feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they’re with us.
“Thank you so much Isaac. Looked like Emma loved playing with your sweet dogs. She came home happy. We will most definitely your your boarding services again. We appreciated all of your updates and puctures. She certainly took advantage of all your amenities. She rules our house too. Im sad to say ;) Have a great Christmas. Ann and Emma”
