“Emily was so great with my girls. I got regular updates and pics, and felt confident that my doggos were in good hands. My elderly pug has some health issues, and has some doggy-dementia issues. But Emily took great care of her. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”

“Would highly recommend Melissa. She was able to get me booked last minute for an unexpected trip. Melissa kept me updated the entire time, letting me know how my anxious dog was doing.”

“We are incredibly grateful for Araceli for watching our two pups! It’s our 2nd boarding experience with her - 1st for our 5-month old - and they were well taken care of. Def one of the best Rover experiences we’ve had”

“Carolyn is the absolute best! She let us board Tato last minute and was so flexible with our drop off and pick up times when we had last minute changes. Tato also loves to go to Carolyn’s! We love how any photos and videos she provides. Thank you again Carolyn for taking such great care of our Tato!”

“Hands down the best boarding experience we (and my pups) have had. I didn’t feel the need to initiate a check in even once, as Allison sent frequent photo updates and left me feeling 110% confident that my dogs were happy and safe. She’s got so much experience and such a genuine love for dogs, I’m excited to board them with her again because I know it’ll be a vacation for the pups too.”

“Angela is an angel and life saver! My friend had an emergency so I needed a last minute dog sitter for a 4 day weekend and luckily found Angela. From well the photos she sent me I found the my dog was being treated like a king. Great communication and kinda worried Pabu is gonna love her and her family more then me after all the pics and adventures they had 😂 will def use again”

“My dog Franklin had a great time with Brianna and her family! Her kids are so sweet and respectful. Frank loved them! Brianna was very communicative and sent frequent updates with pictures.”

“A great experience for our dog Nado. Jenny was very kind and welcoming. We rescued our dog over a year ago and he had been traumatized, we were nervous how he’d handle being apart. Jenny and her family made him feel more than welcome and he behaved very well and had a great time! Definitely recommend.”

“Jared’s experience being a vet tech really shows. He’s communicated daily throughout the stay, and our puppy (who’s usually destructive) was calm and entertained the entire time. Looking forward to the next stay with him”

“Our dog Gus stayed with Tony and had an absolute blast! Tony was amazing about sending daily pictures and videos, which made us feel so comfortable while we were away. Gus looked so happy and well cared for the entire time. We could tell he was having the best time! We’ll definitely be booking with Tony again — highly recommend!”

“Our family is so grateful to Megan for taking such good care of Lumi! We had peace of mind knowing that she was well taken care off while we were on a trip. Megan shared many videos and photos. She also took Lumi to the dog park! We highly recommend Megan.”

“Jennifer took such great care of our puppy and had amazing communication! She sent photos and videos to update us and kept us informed throughout the day of how she was doing. It really gave us such peace of mind. We would love to book with her again in the future!”


“Leah, thank you for taking such great care of our Celi. Your Cat room, constant updates and photos gave me such peace of mind while we were away. Most of all how well you cared for Celi’s every need made her stay so comfortable and comforting. I highly recommend you and Chris and I know Celi does too!”

“We had an amazing experience with Steve! He is reliable, communicative, and clearly cared a lot about our dog, Ranger. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Ranger was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”

“Gary and Carol are so predictably wonderful. Waldo always bounces up the steps in excitement when we drop him off. Gary and Carol have always been easy to communicate with and roll with the bunches when needed! They’re the best!”

“Danielle is a thoughtful and considerate sitter who always keeps me updated on how my dog is doing. Her dog, Macy, got along great with mine, and she consistently responds promptly and sends photos during the stay. She also has a large yard that my dog really enjoyed. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands and will definitely be using her again. Thanks, Danielle!”

“Brandi took great care of Henry the whole week he was there! She sent pictures and comments every day. We are so pleased with Brandy in every way! We will definitely use her again.”

“This was my first time boarding my dog with Elaine and I would do it again. I was out of service for the 4 days that my pup stayed with her, but when i got back into service I saw that she sent photos of big stretches and him chilling with the other dogs each day. Elaine and her family were welcoming to my pup and I would recommend her as a sitter or boarding option for sure.”
“Kristopher and his family were terrific. I had a last minute cancellation and he was so accommodating. I was stressed but they were so reassuring and helpful. He was great at communicating, even though it was a short stay he knew I need reassurance and was so great to send lots of pictures. In the future he will my number 1 choice for all my dog sitting needs. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”

“Our Cavaliers loved staying with Amy. Her home was accommodating, and they seemed very comfortable with the family and her dogs. My dogs immediately made themselves at home and I'm sure would eagerly return!”

I’ve owned cats that have lived to be over 17 years old, cared for mother cats and her kittens, and have experience with cats of all ages, temperaments, and personal needs.

My goal is for your cat to feel safe, comfortable, and completely at home!
“Miss Tiffany immediately bonded with our fussy old cat, Leo. She understood what he wanted and delivered copious pets, snuggles and treats for 12 days. The photos were a testament to his happiness. We couldn’t be happier with her service and most definitely will request her again should the need arise.”

“Sara was once again just amazing! 12 hour days without a potty break is just plain mean, so we got Sara to break up the day. While I was out of town and my wife worked those 12hr days, Sara came up for 30 minutes each day and let them out and played with them (though she sometimes stayed for an hour letting the dogs have fun in the yard), even brought her little one for a doggie date! Couldn't be more happy with her! We'll be in touch again Sara! Thanks for your great care of our family!!!”

“Tashi is doing well! Looks forward to going to doggie daycare with Brianna. Today, he tried to sneak out to the car when I left! He loves being around the kids and other dogs. Thank you for taking great care of him!”

“Angela is a wonderful dog sitter and clearly has such a love for animals. Grace loved doggy daycare and was so excited to come back each day. Angela's communication was great and she was really kind and flexible with unexpected schedule changes. I highly recommend her as a caring, reliable person providing excellent pet care.”

“Allison is awesome!! Our dog Roxy has a bit of separation anxiety when left home alone so we didn’t know how well she would do at a sitter. Thanks to Allison and her awesome dog skills Roxy did amazing and she can’t wait to go back for more play dates with her friends! Allison sent updates on how Roxy was doing and that was helpful. Now I have no worries at all of leaving Roxy with Allison.”

“Emily & Eric took great care of our pups while we were visiting from out of town for a family Christmas party. We appreciate them being so accommodating with the festivities ending a little later than expected. Our fur babies were obviously very comfortable in their home because they are so calm in their crates in the car at the moment. We will definitely leave our girls with Emily and Eric again when we are back in Vancouver!”

“Araceli was so great with Rocky… she kept me posted on how he was doing and sent me the cutest video and pic of my lil guy… it is so great to be able to be at work and not have to worry about how Rocky is doing. I would highly recommend Araceli for watching your furry baby. Araceli thank you for putting my worries at ease…”

“Dana and Mark were amazing! They took Finn for the day super last minute and even had a pool in their backyard for the dogs to play in. I had no concerns and was fully confident with Dana and Mark’s care! Thank you so much!”

“Brandi, thank you for watching my Rocky while I was gone at work. It was so nice knowing he was so well cared for. Rocky seems to enjoy going with Brandi's husband at drop off which makes me feel very comfortable leaving him. Thanks again for putting my worries at ease. You guys rock!”

About: Hello Rover friends! I am a stay at home mom and would love to help sit your pets in our home. I have an open schedule and a big yard! We have a 10 yr old Lab/germen Shepard mix who loves having play dates and having friends over at our home. We do not have a fenced yard but I can take your pup on plenty of walks in our yard! I have tons of time to take good care of your furry babies, we have a ton of space on our 2 acre lot to play with your pup and take them for walks. We have three adults in the house and 1 child, so plenty if supervision. My dog is has an electric collar so he has a boundary he does not cross, I keep dogs that are prone to be curious on a leash since my yard is not fenced. I keep dogs separated when eating.
“Jenny was great! She was able to accept a very last minute request for doggie daycare. My pups came home last night and they are still snoozy today. I will definitely use Jenny again! :)”

“Dominique has been great to have as someone we trust to watch our puppy. She has been very easy to communicate with and flexible with her time which we are grateful for since sometimes our schedules don’t always go as planned. I can tell our dog Kali is loved and has a great time there when I pick her up. There’s usually other friendly dogs there throughout the day that Kali can play with and it’s always nice to hear she’s making friends. We will definitely be back!”

“Just had a first daycare visit with Shell. Our shy, anxious dog came out of her shell (no pun intended) and had some good play with another one of the dogs. We appreciated how Shell did an observation first and really “got” Panda’s personality and unique challenges. We’ll be sending Panda for more play and boarding, for sure.”

“Very thankful for Matt & his family. I have a dog who has a very sensitive GI & with sending him to Matt I can insure he is safe & happy. They send updates through out the day & always keep me in the loops Bruce loves it there & im very happy i found a family I can trust with leaving my dog there.”

“Tanaisa was amazing! I had a last minute need for some doggy daycare and she took my dogs for the whole day without hesitation. They looked like they had a great day. I’d gladly book her again!”

She also takes the most amazing pictures, which is such a thoughtful bonus and always makes my day. She is worth every penny, and I feel completely comfortable knowing my dog is in such great hands. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have had dogs for my entire life! I currently have 2 dogs. Both are Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Trinity is our senior girl 13 yrs old, and Shira who is 2. I have had the most experience with big dogs (mainly German Shepherds and now Rhodesian Ridgebacks). I have done Schutzhund with my shepherds and have done dog shows and obedience shows locally with my Ridgebacks. Our dogs and the ones I take care of are always my priority. I treat all dogs like they are mine so they get all the love, snuggles, and attention they want. I have a safe and secure home and yard. We have a 3/4 acre completely fenced back yard fenced to 6 feet high. We are in the country and have lots of bunnies for them to chase. We also have a creek on our property that in good weather would be fun for the dogs to play in. I have some agility equipment that I will break out when the weather is nice and let dogs go through those or show them how. For rainy days we have toys and dog puzzles to keep their minds active. We also have a shop that I can put up agility equipment when the weather is lousy and cold so they can chase each other around in there if they are getting antsy. I also do daily obedience with my own dog and any other dog that is with me and wants to join in. While most of my experience has been with big dogs, I will work with any style and breed of dog after I meet them and we get to know each other. I also have experience working with packs of dogs, as at one time, I had a large pack of both German Shepherds, and then Ridgebacks. I also have a lot of experience working with puppies and can help with basic training. I seem to have a knack to help dogs who normally don’t eat or are very nervous when being left with someone else. I have had many boarders who’s moms and dads said were picky eaters or wouldn’t eat for a couple of days and somehow with me they eat well, don’t miss meals, and many times expand their diets. If you have a dog that takes medication I can, and have, administered meds that their parents bring. But I will only administer prescription meds written by a licensed veterinarian to the specific dog with explicit instructions. Bottom line, I don’t just “board” dogs. They are part of the family and treated as such until you get back. They Are talked to, interacted with by my dogs and myself and my husband all day long. They aren’t just put in a room or left outside to fend for themselves. They are truly being loved and cared for from the minute they are dropped off until the minute you pick them up. My husband and I are retired so I am full time at home now. So I can board 7 days a week. And overnight care at my house will be my specialty as you never have to worry about your dog being left for hours during the day or night. I have a very “dog friendly” home. That being said my house is clean and fairly tidy. I clean daily to make sure the dogs are in the best environment. My goal is to have your dog go home with you better than when they came. If they are full of mud from playing outside in the rain they will be washed and dried before they go home. If their nails are too long I will cut them (if the dog allows). If they need to be brushed, I will brush them and often give them a massage…this is especially good for the nervous dogs. If they are scared and feel nervous they will be returned happy and calm from being pampered while you were away. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture including our bed and can play inside or outside with my dogs who are very friendly to other dogs and people. I don’t crate any of my dogs and don’t require dogs that stay with me to be crated during the day or night. If you prefer your dog to be crated at night I will follow your instructions if you bring the crate that they are used to. Many of the dogs that I board sleep in our bed but they also have very plush beds throughout our home that they can sleep on overnight or during the day for naps. Wherever they feel more comfortable sleeping is fine with me even if they don’t want to be in our room with us and our dogs.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and have experience with a wide variety of pets, from ponies to puppies. I’ve provided walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, playtime, feeding, medication administration, and plenty of love and attention along the way. I have a combination of hands on experience and animal knowledge. I’ve lived on a mini farm mh entire life, shadowed my sister who is an ER veterinarian, and as a pre-med student, I am attentive, responsible, and detail oriented. I have had many pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family! My goal is always to return pets happier, with their tails wagging and owners smiling!! I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which gives me availability throughout the week and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. When I’m not working, I’m spending time with my animals, staying active, and making sure your pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I keep my schedule updated and prioritize reliability, communication, and consistency so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands! I primarily provide care in my clients homes, allowing pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment, walk their neighborhoods, and maintain their normal routines. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay my goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both pets and owners. For pets that may need care in my home, I do not have any indoor pets, providing a calm environment and comfortable space for my visitors! I also have access to a secure outdoor kennel that can be set up if needed!

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet sitter who understands that every dog has unique needs, energy levels, and routines, and I take that seriously. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs since my teens, with experience across small and large breeds, senior dogs, and pets who require medication. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with more complex needs, including epilepsy, and I prioritize calm, attentive handling to keep them safe and supported. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” dogs, I focus on structured, engaging care that helps them feel balanced and happy while you’re away, whether its walks tailored to their energy level, mental enrichment and engagement during visits, consistent routines to support behavior, or lots of affection and attention. I’m very active and love being outdoors, so I’m happy to include longer walks, hikes, or more engaging outings if that’s something your dog enjoys. Since I work a full time job from home, I have a flexible schedule and am willing and able to give your pet the attention it needs throughout the day. Routine comes easy for me, and my work schedule makes it easy to adapt to whatever you need for your pet. I can also send regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel completely at ease. I treat every pet like my own (I have 3 dogs!), with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. I’d love to connect and see if I'd be a good fit for you and your pet! *Starting June 2026, for any house sitting requests, I will be unable to sleep overnight in the clients home. I am able to house sit any time during the day and stay with your pet as long or as little as needed, however, if you need me for multiple days in a row, I will leave your place at night around 930-10pm and return in the morning around 7am.* I focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent experience for every pet. In your home, I follow all care instructions closely, so your pet stays comfortable and on their normal schedule. I stay aware on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and adjust care based on your dog’s energy level, temperament, and any medical needs. I also keep your home clean and secure so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: For 15 years I ran a successful dog walking business outside of Boston, and have now returned to the northwest to help my mother age in place. I'm missing my animal friends, and am ready to help with yours! I'm experienced and mature, conscientious, reliable and careful, with the same high expectations for myself that you have. I understand the importance of good relationships with anyone you bring into your pet's life - both for your pet and for you - and building relationships and community is what I most loved about my dog walking business. My schedule is quite flexible! Being retired definitely opens up my availability, and I aim to be as accommodating and helpful as possible to meet your pet's needs. Safety and privacy are important priorities, and I am always respectful of both. I have years of experience accessing clients' homes and caring for their pets - more than 250 pets over the years - without any problems. I am professional and experienced, with a proven record.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life. From energetic Huskies to tiny Yorkies, plus a few adopted cats along the way.

I’ve cared for dogs in a variety of settings, including fenced yards, cable runs, and supervised free roam.

For cats, I’ve always kept them safely indoors and monitored them closely to ensure their well being.

I have always had a pet in my home and I know how important it is to have a responsible pet sitter to care for them. I can house sit, watch pets in my home, do drop in visits you name it. If you have a special request just ask! I have a spoiled 9 lb chiweenie name Bo. I live in a house with a yard in the country. I’m a teacher so I work Monday through Friday and have the normal school breaks like Christmas and summer. We would love to care for you babies! Let me know if you have questions. Sara, Billie, JJ & Mr. Bojangles

“Would highly recommend Melissa. She was able to get me booked last minute for an unexpected trip. Melissa kept me updated the entire time, letting me know how my anxious dog was doing.”

“We are incredibly grateful for Araceli for watching our two pups! It’s our 2nd boarding experience with her - 1st for our 5-month old - and they were well taken care of. Def one of the best Rover experiences we’ve had”

“Hands down the best boarding experience we (and my pups) have had. I didn’t feel the need to initiate a check in even once, as Allison sent frequent photo updates and left me feeling 110% confident that my dogs were happy and safe. She’s got so much experience and such a genuine love for dogs, I’m excited to board them with her again because I know it’ll be a vacation for the pups too.”

“My dog Franklin had a great time with Brianna and her family! Her kids are so sweet and respectful. Frank loved them! Brianna was very communicative and sent frequent updates with pictures.”

“A great experience for our dog Nado. Jenny was very kind and welcoming. We rescued our dog over a year ago and he had been traumatized, we were nervous how he’d handle being apart. Jenny and her family made him feel more than welcome and he behaved very well and had a great time! Definitely recommend.”

“Our dog Gus stayed with Tony and had an absolute blast! Tony was amazing about sending daily pictures and videos, which made us feel so comfortable while we were away. Gus looked so happy and well cared for the entire time. We could tell he was having the best time! We’ll definitely be booking with Tony again — highly recommend!”


“Leah, thank you for taking such great care of our Celi. Your Cat room, constant updates and photos gave me such peace of mind while we were away. Most of all how well you cared for Celi’s every need made her stay so comfortable and comforting. I highly recommend you and Chris and I know Celi does too!”

“We had an amazing experience with Steve! He is reliable, communicative, and clearly cared a lot about our dog, Ranger. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Ranger was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”

“Gary and Carol are so predictably wonderful. Waldo always bounces up the steps in excitement when we drop him off. Gary and Carol have always been easy to communicate with and roll with the bunches when needed! They’re the best!”

“Danielle is a thoughtful and considerate sitter who always keeps me updated on how my dog is doing. Her dog, Macy, got along great with mine, and she consistently responds promptly and sends photos during the stay. She also has a large yard that my dog really enjoyed. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands and will definitely be using her again. Thanks, Danielle!”

“Brandi took great care of Henry the whole week he was there! She sent pictures and comments every day. We are so pleased with Brandy in every way! We will definitely use her again.”

“This was my first time boarding my dog with Elaine and I would do it again. I was out of service for the 4 days that my pup stayed with her, but when i got back into service I saw that she sent photos of big stretches and him chilling with the other dogs each day. Elaine and her family were welcoming to my pup and I would recommend her as a sitter or boarding option for sure.”
“Kristopher and his family were terrific. I had a last minute cancellation and he was so accommodating. I was stressed but they were so reassuring and helpful. He was great at communicating, even though it was a short stay he knew I need reassurance and was so great to send lots of pictures. In the future he will my number 1 choice for all my dog sitting needs. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”

“Very communacative,provided us with updates and made sure Theo was getting lots of exercise and playtime. He was very happy and in good shape when we picked him up. Thank you!”

“Kathy and Dean were wonderful! Our dogs were happy and had their cuddle needs fully met. They sent pictures and generally made us feel very sure that our dogs were safe and sound! Would definitely bring my dogs back again.”

“This was our second time booking with Lisa, once again she provided outstanding care for my dog Zuko. This stay eas especially important because he was recovering from his neuter surgery. She followed all of his post-op care instructions, kept me updated with pictures and messages, and made sure he was comfortable. It's such a relief to have someone I can trust with Zuko, especially during a time when he needed extra care. We will definitely be seeing Lisa again in the future!”

“Hannah was great with our dog, Brooklyn! She sent lots of updates and progress reports. Our dog has severe anxiety, and he had a great time there. We can’t wait to hire her again!”

“We were really nervous about our first boarding experience with our new puppy but Chris took such good care of her, it put our nerves to rest. She looked like she had such a good time in all of the photos he provided. Definitely recommend.”


“David was excellent! Lumi had a great time playing with the other pups and I think benefited from David working from home, which is what she is used to. Thank you so much, will be booking again!”
