“Thank you for you willingness to extend Mikkos stay with such short notice. There was an urgent family health concern , and Elizabeth and her husband were very helpful.”
“Jenny was an excellent dog sitter! I was concerned that I would not be able to communicate with her because my Spanish is bad, but her sweet son was able to translate for us. She was very attentive to Bouncer during his weekend stay and sent me updates with a picture of him. The best part was that she and her family were very kind. Kindness is not something you can translate. You can just feel it. Also, her prices were unbeatable! Would highly recommend her services to anyone. Jenny fue una excelente cuidadora de perros! Me preocupaba no poder comunicarme con ella porque mi español no es bueno, pero su dulce hijo pudo traducirnos. Fue muy atenta con mi perro Bouncer durante su estancia de fin de semana y me envió fotos de él. Lo mejor fue que ella y su familia fueron muy amables. La amabilidad no se puede traducir. Simplemente se siente. Además, ¡sus precios eran inmejorables! Recomiendo fuertemente sus servicios a cualquiera.”
“SJ is truly amazing. She has watched our old man French Bulldog multiple times. She leaves our home CLEANER then we left it! She is a great communicator and sends updates on the pup throughout our trip. Knowing SJ is with our dog and caring for our home while we are away gives up ease to enjoy ourselves on our trip. She is an absolute gem!”
About: Hi, my name is Amber-rae, I am 22 years old and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — I’ve cared for everything from barnyard animals to beloved family pets since I was 9 years old. Dogs have always been by my side, and I welcomed my very own pup into my life at just 10 years old. With a lifetime of experience, I know how to keep tails wagging, paws moving, and pets happy, safe, and loved. We’ve got two beautiful boy cats at home who are our only pets at the moment. But i often care for my mothers dogs, she has 6 of them, four little Havaneese and two giant mastiffs At home our cats have free roam or the house and are only sometimes locked in their bedroom (the bathroom) because that’s where their food and litter box is. They’re given plenty snuggles and love, especially from my daughter, they love to play and cuddle on her bedroom floor. As for a clients animal, I will follow whichever routine is given for each animal (cat or dog) Whether it’s playing fetch, simply feeding them or going for a walk.
“Ali was able to book me on short notice after other plans fell through. She was very responsive and my pup had a wonderful time with her and her family. I'd book with her again.”
“Lorelei is such a great host! I have boarded my puppy with her about 5 or 7 times over the course of December 2015 and January 2016 and I can only say great things about her. Her apt is very welcoming to dogs as she always has fellow playmates around and has a patio area where they can eliminate. One time, my puppy jumped off the furniture wrong and had hurt himself. She called me immediately and also did the courtesy of contacting DogVacay’s own vet for advice. My experience of Lorelei is that she is very attentive to the dogs and cares for them as if they are her own. As a bonus, Lorelei also wrote me thank you cards! I have booked with someone else when she wasn’t available and now I have learned that if you’re going to book on DogVacay, choose Lorelei!”
“Jill took wonderful care of our pup. He can be slow to warm up to people and she was very patient and knowledgable with how to approach him to make him feel comfortable. Jill provided updates and pictures every day and he was clearly happy and well taken care of when we picked him up. I will definitely be asking her to care for our little guy again!”
“Maria is amazing!! Our pup can be a little nervous in new environments and Maria went out of her way to make sure she was comfortable and getting lots of time outside!! We got tons of updates and photos and I felt so confident that my girl was being well taken care of! I will certainly use Maria’s services again!!”
“Conor took great care of our puppy. He regularly updated us with photos and videos that kept us close to our baby. He was kind and very responsive to our messages. I would highly recommend him to anyone.:)”
“Sheena did so well with my two kiddos! Sterling can be a bit of a handful--he has anxiety and special needs (and is a bit of a grumpy old man). I can tell that she followed the most important directions I gave her based on his condition when I picked them up, I am very grateful. 🙂”
“Finding sitters who truly care about your dog is tough, but Kelly and Karen exceeded all expectations. Tony is usually a bit anxious, but Kelly makes him feel better. Their communication was excellent, and gave me update(pic/vidoes)about Tony during i was on my vacation. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of my boy…”
“Devan was great! Checked in with us regularly to let us know how Blaze was doing and settling in. I could tell that Blaze was well cared for and had a great time with Devan and his partner! Will definitely use him again!”
“Chelsie was an excellent communicator keeping me updated on Beacons behavior and their adventures. She took such great care of him, I will definitely be booking her again. It was comforting knowing Beacon was in such great care!”
“Phillip and his family created the most loving and relaxing environment for Grouter’s stay with them. He was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. Grouter had a great time and I had a wonderful vacation knowing my pup was in great hands!”
“We were extremely happy to find a sitter that knew Benesse Mountain dogs. Kristina did an outstanding job taking care our pups. Needless to say, we are extremely pleased and will be using Kristina again.”
“Missy enjoyed her stay with Kenith for two weeks. Kenith provided updates on her and made sure she felt at home. So excited to see her when we got back but could also tell she loved her time with Kenith as she would whine on the trip home.”
“I would 100% recommend Michelle and Brian. I am a person who never wants to leave my dog with anyone, and if I have to, I worry the entire the time. Newton stayed with Michelle and Brian for over two weeks and they took such great care of him. He became best friends with their adorable dog Ari and played with other little dogs they watch (Theo!) Michelle & Brian were amazing with communication, sending me photos and updates every day. It is clear that they love dogs and, from now on, I will always have them watch Newton. :)”
“Tanya is wonderful! She cared for our puppy as if it were her own. Sent pictures of him playing with her dog and being pampered. She is fantastic and I would book with her again in a heartbeat!”

“Shelby is an excellent communicator, reliable pet sitter, and extremely trustworthy. She took great care of our cats and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“I was very pleased with Alana’s care of my two eighteen year old cats. My elderly cats both have litter box issues which require extra clean-up, including laundering washable pee pads, and cleaning up around the boxes. Alana did not have a problem with this and took it on willingly. Alana spent time with my cats every day petting and brushing them, which I and they appreciated. She also updated me twice a day with texts and pictures. I would highly recommend Alana, and hope to use her again.”
“Natasha does an exceptional job caring for my dog, Sloan! She goes above and beyond during every drop-in visit, incorporating puppy training seamlessly into their play and care time. I’m always impressed by how well she adjusts to Sloan’s needs each day—whether that means extra exercise, mental stimulation, or just some calm companionship. Natasha literally speaks dog—I’m convinced she’s a true dog whisperer. Her understanding of canine behavior and her gentle, confident approach make all the difference. As a nurse with a busy and unpredictable schedule, it gives me such peace of mind knowing Sloan is in her capable and loving hands. I couldn’t recommend Natasha more highly!”
“This was our first Rover caregiving experience for my senior, shy cat Coal, who has medical needs, since moving out of our tiny apartment (where Coal had few places to hide). Elizabeth successfully discovered his new hiding places, encouraged him out, and gave him his medication on schedule. She also followed all other feeding/treating instructions. It couldn’t have been easy job, given his reluctance to strangers, and she completed it and sent some hilarious photos of Coal in hiding.”
About: Enjoy cats and how different they are from each other. Happy to have yours in my home or me visiting your home to check in on them. I'm not trained in administering medication.
“I feel confident when I leave for work that my dog Gemma is in great hand with Karen, Karen is a great communicator, and responsive to request to care for you pet. I’m fortunate to have found her on Rover!”
“We’ve been hesitant to hire someone to check on our cat because he’s our baby and our home is our home. I’m so glad we found Ashley. She was professional, thorough, and communicative. Would absolutely book again.”
“Grateful that my very shy cat took to Lisa quicker than I thought possible. Her care left us with no worries while we had to be away. The photo updates Lisa provided regularly were reassuring and kept us close to our pet at heart. It is obvious our cat had TLC.”
“Leaving a pet at home when we go on a trip has always been stressful for us. This was our first time using Rover and we are so glad we did. Kim did an amazing job looking after our cat while we were away. She was punctual, which we were grateful for, so as to keep our kitty's routine as normal as possible. We received daily pictures, as well as texts, on how each visit went. She was quick to respond to all of my text messages and just gave us such peace of mind knowing things were being done just as we would do them while were gone. We will absolutely be contacting Kim in the future for all of our pet sitting needs. Couldn't be happier!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, and am currently a dog mom to my wonderful fur baby. Throughout the years I have been entrusted to go to peoples houses and care for their dogs, take care of dogs in my own home, and have even been entrusted to care for newborn puppies until they were old enough to go to their homes. I have a special place in my heart for dogs, and I absolutely love any opportunity to meet all kinds of new furry friends and personalities!
“Jordan has watched our 2 cats for us twice now. The cats love her and she takes very good care of them. She leaves good feedback on each visit with lovely photos. She even took our trash and recycling cans out and back in for us since we were missing our trash day. Will definitely be asking Jordan to cat-sit on future occasions.”
About: I’m a farm raised girl with years of animal care practice, dogs, cats, chickens, horses, goats, and donkeys. I’ve always had pets in my life and claimed the role of family dog trainer. Pets are my happy place, and I love spending time loving on dogs and cats so their owner feels more comfortable leaving home. My dog Pongo is very special to me and I know the pain of leaving him behind when it’s necessary, and also know the joy of finding someone with a big heart to care for him when I’m gone. I’m that girl with the big heart that will love and care for your furry loved ones so you can be comfortable leaving home knowing they’re well cared for. I spent a year volunteering at West Sound Wildlife which gave me experience tending to wounded animals. I’m well versed in giving animals medications and following strict diets. My schedule is very flexible at the moment which means I’m able to make your animal a top priority. I work at a local restaurant but my shifts aren’t long, at most I’ll be out of the house for five to six hours. I love getting to know each pet, what their needs are, and how to best meet those needs while I care for them. If tons of love and snuggles are required I’m happy to oblige, but I also understand the different boundaries of each individual animal and how to navigate them to earn trust. My dog Pongo gets 4-5 walks per day, some are sniff walks for mental exercise, and others are to throw a stick in the woods for him to let some energy out.
About: Certainly! Here’s a professional yet warm response that highlights your extensive I have years of hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, backgrounds, and personalities—including many rescues with medical needs. I'm well-versed in administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and working closely with veterinarians to support ongoing care. I understand the sensitive nature of cats—their need for a calm, predictable environment, gentle handling, and emotional awareness. Cleanliness is especially important in feline care. I prioritize keeping litter boxes spotless, food and water areas fresh, and overall spaces hygienic and stress-free. Whether caring for independent seniors, social kittens, or shy rescues, I provide patient, attentive care that respects each cat's unique rhythm and needs.
About: My name is Becky, I'm a masters student studying education (middle school science). I am looking to fill my day up with things that bring me joy. I love being outside and walking, so there is nothing better than walking dogs. Let me care for, play with, and walk your dog while you are busy (please!). I am totally comfortable with old dogs that have special needs, teething puppies, and dogs who don't love other dogs. I have experience with medications, wounds, and injuries for both dogs and cats. I live in Suquamish, with my husband, two kids, two cats and my sweet dog. I have had cats my whole life and dogs for my adult life. I'm just finishing up my school's course work and my kids are in school all day. I have free time on weekdays from late morning to mid-afternoon. Home drop-ins: I will be respectful of your home, and the requests of each individual client. I understand that rules may apply for different animals in a single home. Dog-walking: I tend to run a tight ship while walking dogs. I keep a short leash and have dogs heal for safety and behavior purposes. I will love your dog and provide safe and fun walk
“Thomas was absolutely fantastic, easy to work with on scheduling, great to chat with during our meet and greet, and took great care of my cat. It was an incredible relief having him check up on Jasper while I was away, and warmed my heart to get pictures and updates for the extra reassurance.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats alike since I was 16. I started by pet sitting overnight for my grandparents while they were on vacation and eventually started pet sitting for friends and family. I’ve handled walking, feeding, enrichment, and medication needs. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and dispositions and have no problem staying overnight as needed. I am self-employed and therefore have the flexibility in my schedule to care for your pets in the way they deserve, whether that be an overnight stay or regular walks and potty breaks. My cats sleep in my bed with me and get regular pets and cuddles. I provide enrichment as often as they seem interested. I care for clients’ pets like I would care for my own. If the pets are allowed to sleep on the bed or sit on the furniture with me, I love animal cuddles and am happy to share my space.

“My dog bounds up to the house with the most joyous tail-wag, and comes home glowing, grinning, and tired out from the fun day she had. Karen fabulous with dogs, and I feel at ease knowing my dog is having a great day.”
“Cathleen was so friendly and helpful- taking care of our pups with just a few day's notice when we wanted to visit the island. She made Vivi and Bijou feel comfortable and at home- as evidenced by the photos of them relaxing and snoozing without a care. We were so glad to find her and wouldn't hesitate to have our pups stay with her again.”
“We had the pleasure of entrusting Ashley with the care of our energetic 10-month-old Springer Spaniel for a day, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Ashley's expertise in canine behavior truly stood out – she demonstrated a deep understanding and genuine affection for our furry friend. Ashley's attentive and caring approach made us feel confident that our pet was in excellent hands. We wholeheartedly recommend her to fellow pet owners in the area. Thank you so much, Ashley, for your exceptional care! We'll definitely be returning for future pet-sitting needs.”
“Our boys had a great time with Brooke and her gang and we felt welcomed, safe & cared for. Also the communication was first rate and we really appreciated the pics during the day. We’ll be back if she’ll have us!”
“Annette is a treasure. Her experience and love for dogs made the day visit for our 2 mini poodles a success. She kept us updated, she followed all instructions and provided numerous pictures and updates. Her after visit report was detailed and quite useful. We would recommend her highly!”
“Muggzy had a great day with Trenton and Jordan! They genuinely seemed to enjoy him and understand his needs. He didn’t want to leave! We hope to have him visit there often.”
“I am worry wart dog mom and have been somewhat hesitant to sign Stormy, my tiny, timid Pomeranian puppy, up for daycare. Linda put my worries at ease during our meet and greet. If you have a tiny dog and need a sitter/boarded- book with Linda right now!”
“Zi did a great job watching Yuki, even though he had an accident at her apartment and hyperactive with her dog. She sent plenty of photos, videos and updates, and was honest with how my pup did at the end. I'd recommend her with anyone who has a small/medium sized dog.”
“Kristina is so kind and I just know my pup will have a blast each time she goes over. Very attentive and sends updates in the day which is nice. I definitely trust and recommend Kristina for future dog care”
About: I’ve always loved dogs & have had pups by my side my entire life. Caring for dogs comes second nature to me. I’ve worked with dogs of all personalities and ages, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors who need a gentler touch. I’m patient and responsible, and enjoy making dogs feel comfortable and happy. Whether your dog is shy, social, quirky, or full of zoomies, I know how to adjust care to match their needs. My family & I treat every dog like they’re our own and we would love the opportunity to spend time with your furry friend too! My Skills & Experience: - Lifelong dog lover with experience caring for pups of all ages - Comfortable with shy, senior, high-energy, and big-breed dogs - Gentle, patient approach with anxious or first-time boarders - Understanding of dog body language and safe interactions - Experienced with medication routines and special instructions - I provide updates, photos, and videos of your pup while you're away! I am home most of the time with my 1 year old currently so am able to accommodate and care for your dog(s) most days and times! I’m able to give dogs plenty of interaction and attention throughout the day. My calendar is always up to date, but feel free to message me with any schedule-specific questions. About My Home: Your pup will feel safe, loved, and comfortable here! I have a fully fenced yard perfect for playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of sniffing. I also have two friendly dogs who enjoy company, though all interactions are based on your dog’s comfort level. Inside, I’ve created multiple gated areas so every dog has their own calm, secure space. Crates are available if your dog prefers them or if you request it. I use a Furbo camera and happily will send photo and video updates so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. When the weather cooperates, I love taking dogs on peaceful neighborhood walks, and I can provide baths if needed as well. *Important: I do have a 1 year old at home, so I’m only able to host dogs who are gentle and comfortable with young children. Safety and a calm environment are top priorities in our home. Safety: Your dog’s comfort and safety , and my family’s, are my top priorities. I do slow, careful introductions with my dogs, or no introductions if requested. Gated “safe spaces” are always available. I follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions exactly as given.
“Felix was lovely to work with and took great care of our dog Reign! We received regular updates, photos, and videos and felt comfortable with Reign’s introduction and play time with Felix’s dog, Mabel. We definitely hope to work with Felix again in the future and would highly recommend his care!”
“Kathy is a dream dog sitter! She is so attentive to detail and provides so much love and comfort and even fun new activities for our pups each time they are with her. They LOVE being with Kathy and we are always so grateful when she’s available”
“Julie is an amazing doggie sitter! Our dog loved going to day care at her place for the evening, while we went out to celebrate a friend's birthday. We got pictures and updates throughout his stay with her, they went on a walk, and when we came back we found him super relaxed and happy; us coming back for him was not a big deal for him, he had THAT good a time. Her home is really lovely too. Julie was also really understanding with our changing schedule the day of the stay, and kindly looked after Victor a bit later than originally agreed upon so that we could wait for my friend's birthday cake to arrive :) A truly fantastic experience!”
“Sofia has been wonderful with my shy guy dog with separation anxiety. Her adorable dog, Dona, has such great calming energy and seems to be a great friend and mentor for my dog. Sofia is great with updates and communication, and is a natural dog person. I’m so grateful to have found her!”
“Kiko had an amazing couple of days with Ms. Elise. She kept me updated with how the days were going and provided some great photos. We are looking forward to the next visit!”
“Christine was great! Super kind and communicative. Her updates were super helpful and it seems like Bitty had a great time! I would feel very comfortable having Bitty visit again.”
“As always, JD does a fantastic job with my pups. He is super patient with my shy dog, and works with her at her pace. He sends ample amount of photos and videos during the stay that gives me peace of mind. The pups come home after their stay exhausted, and just rest the rest of the evening. Thanks so much for taking care of my pups in the best way, and making me feel worry-free.”
“Super grateful Gargi was able to watch my pup last minute when I went into work this week. I appreciate all the updates in realtime she provided as well. Gargi’s dog, June, and mine became instant pals! By the end of the day I can tell she had fun playing and got some exercise in. Thank you Gargi and June!”

About: Dogs and cats have been part of my life as long as I can remember. Unconditional love from them is simply priceless. Happy to help. I am retired now and home 24/7 except for errands. I can take them for walks around the neighborhood, keep them in a crate when I'm gone, whatever your routine is, I can accommodate. I have a wonderful fenced in backyard, as well. My fenced yard is a wonderful space for them to just poke around. I can also visit your home if they're more comfortable there. Happy to baby your baby.
“Ashley is the best! She brought our dog Ellie on walks a couple days a week for a few months. She also worked on training obedience commands with her while they went on walks, and gave instructions so we can continue when we bring her for walks. She sent pictures and wrote a message each walk, which we loved to see! We appreciate that Ellie was calm and capable hands each time Ashley visited, and we highly recommend her!”
“Alana was excellent to communicate with and very quickly got accustomed to our chow chow mix and her habits. She made sure to keep us updated and coordinated pick up and dropoff times for walks. She was able to be flexible and adapt to the schedule in the event of inclement weather and we hope to reach out to her again!”
“Lisa saved us and Oakley because I had to be gone much longer than planned. She knows the drill with Oakley and he seems to feel very comfortable with her. She's a keeper for sure!”
About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been part of my everyday world. From a young age, my life has revolved around animals and helping them become the best versions of themselves. Some of my earliest experiences were with cats, including a feral rescue named Misty I bonded with closely as a child. I tend to connect well with animals that are more troubled, reactive, or unsure, and I’m often able to bring out their calmer, more trusting side. Later on in my life, my experience expanded significantly through raising and caring for Golden Retrievers. Growing up around breeding and long-term dog care taught me responsibility, consistency, and how much attention animals need at different stages of life. I’ve been involved in raising dogs from newborns to adulthood, and many of the dogs I’ve helped raise have gone on to become unforgettable adventure companions for their families. Over the past fifteen years, I’ve gained extensive experience working with animals through long-term, hands-on care. My background as a Golden Retriever breeder has given me perspective on how different animals can be, even within the same breed. Every animal has unique preferences, behaviors, and ways of communicating, and learning to recognize those differences has been a major part of my experience. I’m comfortable managing multiple animals at once and handling a range of needs without becoming overwhelmed. I’m most accustomed to larger dogs, but my experience raising puppies has given me the delicacy and awareness needed to care for smaller animals as well. I’m especially familiar with puppies under six months old, including their unpredictable behavior and the extra attention they require. I’ve also worked with dogs that can be semi-reactive in certain situations. While I’m not willing to take on dogs that are broadly aggressive, I retain the right to assess the dog before accepting. I’m most comfortable with working with dogs that are borderline reactive but not reactive-aggressive. I can recognize signs of stress or reactivity, and can manage dogs that are generally well-functioning but may need thoughtful handling in specific situations. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-ins and walks throughout the day, generally between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm, unless I’m staying at a client’s home for house sitting. Animal care already shapes my daily routine, and I’m used to structuring my day around feeding schedules, exercise, outdoor exposure, and rest. I’m comfortable juggling different routines and planning time and resources around an animal’s specific needs. I’m very conscientious about safety and environmental risks. I pay close attention to doors, gates, toxic plants, household hazards, interactions with unfamiliar animals, and changes in an animal’s behavior. I rely on observation and experience to distinguish between normal behavior and something that may need attention. If something seems off, I communicate clearly and directly, providing context and details without being alarmist. I also enjoy sharing updates and photos so owners feel informed and connected while they’re away. I have experience filming and taking photos of animals especially dogs and cats that don’t sit still - so you’re bound to get a good photo or two of them.
“Elizabeth has been great for walking our dog when we have long work days. She’s very communicative and shares adorable pictures. Our dog seems to really enjoy her walks with Elizabeth. Highly recommend!”
About: I have always been an extreme dog lover…growing up I volunteered through various adoption agencies and duties included fostering dogs, helping with walks, and lots of playing and entertaining. I have two absolutely insane pups, so no dog will be too much energy to handle. My partner and I are very active and love bringing our pups along on all of our adventures, and I would love to do the same for your pup, if they like the outdoors. If not, I'm just as happy snuggling up and providing lots of love and attention when you're away. I unfortunately cannot sit inside my home because my one pup, Kona, doesn't always get along with other dogs, but walks, drop-ins and house sitting are definitely something I can do! I'm very flexible when it comes to what you might need, so I can make most accommodations without issue! I'm very excited to take care of your pup while you're out, and I always send pics/updates (if you'd like), because I know I love when a sitter does that for me! Fit in care around work schedule, try to accommodate what your needs are. Depending on the season, my availability changes but I’ll always be upfront about that. Happy to follow any instructions you provide. Happy to play in the yard, take your pup on walks/run, take your pup to the trails…whatever they like best!

“We are so happy to have met Tom! He did a fantastic job taking care of all three of our furry kids and we would not hesitate to have him look after them again. He has also been great about helping us out to walk the dogs if we are away for a day. We appreciate his updates and the sweet pictures he takes. The whole family is now big Tom fans! Thank you Tom!”
About: As an experienced dog and cat mom, I will provide the same compassion and care for your furry loved ones as I do for my own. I think of new and innovative ways to make pet sitting an exciting experience for my new fur friends. I know the difficulties of finding arrangements for your fur babies for vacation, work, etc., can be hectic; however, that is where you will find that I am a great fit for your family! I am a trustworthy individual who will invest quality time in getting to know your fur children and provide excellent care. I am incredibly adaptable and intuitive, so it makes understanding all those fur children quirks a priority. As a pet-sitter, I am very flexible and will work closely with you to discuss details for the pet-sit (IE: arrivals/departure times, house-sitting expectations) , and get to know your baby. I am very responsive and readily available. I have experience with dogs and cats of all different breeds, and even worked as a professional dog bather for some time. I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. My very first fur BFF was a majestic, soulful Lab/German Shepard mix who was my best companion through my awkward growing pain years. Currently, I am a proud mom of the protective teddy bear (Lola), burst of energy and enthusiastic Rat Terrier mix (Bettie), queen of mean looks yet total cheese-ball cat (Nirvana), and my loving baby boy cat (Hawkeye) who is watching me intently as I write this. I hope to arrange my first pet-sit with you and your children soon! I also offer drop-in visits and walks. All of my starting base prices are listed, and if additional services are needed, I am very open to discuss. I work hard so that my fur children live awesome lives! I can provide flexibility in scheduling for all pet care services. I work remotely from home and can work remotely from any home/location with internet. I am also a dog and cat mom who takes care of 4 fur children regularly. Currently, I do not offer pet boarding services in my home as Lola is working on her socialization skills. I will bring professionalism, care, and fun right to your location! While staying at the client's home, I have the utmost respect for your space. I am a highly organized professional and can maintain clean, tidy spaces. I will work with each client to best suit their needs and expectations of my stay.

I’m that girl with the big heart that will love and care for your furry loved ones so you can be comfortable leaving home knowing they’re well cared for. I spent a year volunteering at West Sound Wildlife which gave me experience tending to wounded animals. I’m well versed in giving animals medications and following strict diets. My schedule is very flexible at the moment which means I’m able to make your animal a top priority. I work at a local restaurant but my shifts aren’t long, at most I’ll be out of the house for five to six hours. I love getting to know each pet, what their needs are, and how to best meet those needs while I care for them. If tons of love and snuggles are required I’m happy to oblige, but I also understand the different boundaries of each individual animal and how to navigate them to earn trust. My dog Pongo gets 4-5 walks per day, some are sniff walks for mental exercise, and others are to throw a stick in the woods for him to let some energy out.

“Marlene has been very consistent and flexible. I was hesitant to have someone walk my dog. But I can see how my dog gets super excited when, he sees her. She is now walking Iman on a weekly basis. And that gives me peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her 💯.”
About: Hi!/¡Hola! - Hablo español 🐶 California born, Mexico raised, I was born into a dog family, with a gigantic German Shepherd named Taz.(Obviously he was the best boy) Loving dogs is engrained in my DNA. There’s never not been a dog in my life, and I have owned and cared for several of these perfect creatures. Throughout the years, I have found purpose in caring for and learning to speak with (train) dogs. My experience ranges from bottle babies to waddling seniors. And now, I’m at a point where I need to find a way to fund tuition for my career in training psychiatric service dogs. Unfortunately, certain disabilities keep me from having an average full-time job. After discovering Rover, I finally feel like I have a chance to pay for my classes. You can rest assured that your pupper is in good hands with me. I’m great with doggy first-aid, and will point out immediately if I notice something off that needs medical attention outside of first aid. My proudest accomplishments include successfully saving a total of 4 puppies from parvo on my own, using my veterinary medicine experience, and training a deaf puppy! A favorite experience is fostering a bottle baby pup that I rescued from Mexico. As previously mentioned, I’m a doggy trainer in training. Need some tips? I gotchu. I would love to make your pooch my student on walkies. In the last 7 or so years, I’ve studied some vet medicine, dog grooming, and a good deal of dog training. But I’ve been learning anything and everything about dogs since I was a kid. Knowledgeable on several breeds, I can identify almost any dog I see on the street, but I have been stumped a few times! I love discovering new breeds! My knowledge base gives me a general idea of how I should handle your specific breed/mixed dog. I look forward to taking your pup on a lil adventure! Thanks for considering me.🐾 As an animal-loving-entrepreneur building my own dog training business, my day to day life is literally all about my dog. Days are often slow, so I’m trying to fill in the gaps! Everything I do revolves around my pets. And everything I do will revolve around your pup if you hire me! Don’t hesitate to ask about bookings outside of my set schedule, I’ll be happy to accommodate for you. I don’t currently offer pet-sitting. But I am open to opportunities to train dogs, so let me know if this is something of interest for you and we can work something out! I’m a positive only trainer, and use the super power of treats, toys and praise to communicate with canines. No dog is too old to learn new tricks!!
About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience! I grew up with multiple dogs and have spent years walking and caring for pets, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with different routines, energy levels, and personalities—and I always make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. Mondays–Wednesdays are my off days and my most flexible time. I work Thursday–Sunday afternoons starting around 2, and my mornings are usually reserved for staying active—walks, workouts, or anything that gets me moving. I don’t have pets currently, but I’ve grown up caring for family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with most breeds, prioritizing calm, safe, attentive care.

About: Hi, my name is Amber-rae, I am 22 years old and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — I’ve cared for everything from barnyard animals to beloved family pets since I was 9 years old. Dogs have always been by my side, and I welcomed my very own pup into my life at just 10 years old. With a lifetime of experience, I know how to keep tails wagging, paws moving, and pets happy, safe, and loved. We’ve got two beautiful boy cats at home who are our only pets at the moment. But i often care for my mothers dogs, she has 6 of them, four little Havaneese and two giant mastiffs At home our cats have free roam or the house and are only sometimes locked in their bedroom (the bathroom) because that’s where their food and litter box is. They’re given plenty snuggles and love, especially from my daughter, they love to play and cuddle on her bedroom floor. As for a clients animal, I will follow whichever routine is given for each animal (cat or dog) Whether it’s playing fetch, simply feeding them or going for a walk.

“Jill took wonderful care of our pup. He can be slow to warm up to people and she was very patient and knowledgable with how to approach him to make him feel comfortable. Jill provided updates and pictures every day and he was clearly happy and well taken care of when we picked him up. I will definitely be asking her to care for our little guy again!”

“Sheena did so well with my two kiddos! Sterling can be a bit of a handful--he has anxiety and special needs (and is a bit of a grumpy old man). I can tell that she followed the most important directions I gave her based on his condition when I picked them up, I am very grateful. 🙂”
