“Our girls seemed extremely happy at pick up. We were continuously updated with photos during their two week stay. Our dogs have bad separation anxiety, but they came back to us happy and healthy and no weight loss. So happy with their care!”
“Our dog loved being at Maren and Johnathon’s house. He was nervous at first but warmed up right away! I was updated with pictures every now and then and didn’t have to worry about him at all. They are very responsive and friendly also. I will definitely keep in touch for future dogsitting!”
“David was great with my emotionally needy pup and clearly understood dog dynamics. Seeing Delta and another dog snuggle up together was not something I had expected to see pictures of, but she seemed to do well when left with a stranger for a week.”
“Marlena looked after our 2 dogs one of which is blind, while we explored the park, she was incredible! Very friendly and caring, provided updates and pictures throughout the day and took great care of our babies!”
“This was my first time leaving my fur baby alone for more than a night since I got her, and Skylar took such great care of her while I was away!! My pup had so much fun she didn’t want to leave! Skylar is amazing and I would recommend!! ❤️”
“Tony and Krista are fantastic sitters. They are genuine and reliable, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pet is well cared for.”

“Amanda took great care of our big pup. Our boy loves cuddles and playing with other dogs—and he received lots of both! We’re very thankful for Amanda and the attention her whole family gave our pup.”
About: I can't remember a time growing up or much of my adult life that I have not had a dog, or cat, or both. I'm famous for bringing home strays of all kinds....turtles and rabbits to name a couple. Being with animals makes me happy and brings a content and fulfillment that only a furry friend can give. Your bundle of joy will receive an abundance of love and affection and as much play as they want! I am a laid back fur mom so if your pets are allowed on the furniture at home, that's okay by me. You'll find my cats and dog usually on the couch right next to me, and of course taking up most of the bed at night. I wouldn't have it any other way. And yes, I have regular conversations with my animals and I'm quite certain they understand everything I say, lol! Aside from loving my fur babies, I also volunteer at a local shelter. I would love a chance to meet your fur baby. Their paws are in good hands when they're with me! I am currently a stay at home wife enjoying this amazing opportunity to meet and care for so many awesome animals. I am truly blessed! I have a fenced yard and fur babies for yours to play with. If they'd rather play solo we can accomodate that as well. Or if you prefer, I can crate your four legged friends. I am here to make sure your furry loved ones are happy, safe, and healthy. I will do my absolute best to provide for any special requests or needs. Please ask!
“Margaret recently watched our pup Reece and was fantastic!! Reece is a special pup and needs extra care due to his diabetes. He takes insulin 2x daily and although Margaret hadn't done so before, she was open to learning the process and took great care of Reece. He was happy & healthy the duration of his visit (6 days) and we received many updates. We found a great dogsitter in Margaret!!”
“Darby was amazing with our 3 frenchies. She sent updates each day. We love that they got loved on like they do at home ❤️❤️ We will definitely be using Darby again!!”
“Keep is absolutely wonderful and so sweet! She sent us multiple photos everyday of our furbabies and in every photo they had a smile. We know that our pups had so much fun with her because less than an hour of being back home, they were both passed out on their dog bed. We couldn’t have picked a better person to love on our pups while we were away.”
“Kaela was great with our two large dogs. She and her family kept our two dogs busy and active playing with them and attending to all of their needs. Kaela was very accommodating and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe place for your pets.”

“Sara was incredible! She went above and beyond any expectations for a drop-in petsitter. She noticed my cat was walking with some difficulty and researched massages that could help her. She spent time massaging Maddie's back and leg muscles and now she's walking with much more ease! She made recommendations for play toys that has given my 12-year old cat some much needed excitement. She sent photos and videos every day of her playing with Maddie, and now I think Maddie missing that time with Sara today! Sara was on time every day and very respectful of our home. We are deeply grateful to have found her and will definitely seek her out again!”

About: I have taken care of a variety of animals my entire life growing up on a farm. I have been a Licensed Veterinary Technician for 24 years. I work part-time remotely and part-time in a vet clinic. I am looking to supplement my income while still working my current part-time jobs.
“I can't say thank you enough to Makaila for being so warm and welcoming especially for my first time using Rover. I was very anxious about a stranger being in our home visiting our 13y/o female Keeshond but I also couldn't imagine her being around a bunch of strange people and other dogs like what you'd get at a kennel/boarding house. Makaila was so patient with all my questions, concerns and requests. And my dog liked Makaila instantly at our meet and greet (as did my cats and 5y/o son!) I highly recommend her services to anyone. I know we look forward to having her care for our pets in the future.”
About: I have hands on experience caring for multiple cats with different temperaments and routines. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, giving medication, and giving cats the patience and attention they need to feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve cared for affectionate cats who love constant attention, energetic cats with endless zoomies, and more independent cats who prefer quiet company and window watching. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for, while also keeping owners updated with thoughtful and detailed check ins.
“We were in town for a vacation and couldn’t leave our dog alone when we wanted to go out. Nancy was super flexible and did a great job with our Copper. She took care of him several times and by the 2nd visit Copper was so excited to see her. Thanks Nancy!”
“Sidney is fantastic with my anxious cat! She is very communicative, sends me pictures every day, and is always friendly when we talk. It gives me such peace of mind to have her staying with my kitty when I'm away. He even let her pet him! That says everything to me. I'll definitely be booking with Sidney again.”

I currently have a beautiful male pit bull boxer mix that loves other dogs as well. My children, ages 4 years and 9 years both love animals and would love to play with your pets!

Please contact me with any questions you may have so I can start helping you and your pets today! As a stay at home mom I am quite flexible. Other than drop off and pick up times for school I am open and free. I am always cautious with new animals and slow to introduce my pets to yours if it becomes necessary. Taking cues from the animals and soft confident speech are the way to go.

“Steffi is super sweet and treated my dog Honey with the love and respect any dog mom would want for their fur baby! Steffi would send me photos and videos to update me on Honey’s status, which was very reassuring. Despite having separation anxiety, Honey seemed to really enjoy her stay with Steffi! I’d highly recommend Steffi to anyone.”
“My pup is very fearful of new situations but seemed to do fine with Darby. We're going to go back this week and hopefully my pup will get more comfortable. Darby seems knowledgeable about fearful dogs and giving them time to relax. Fingers crossed that my girl will relax and enjoy herself!”

“Sidney did great with handling our dogs and cat through our "getting to know you" visits that we set up, and we agreed the last walk was not needed prior to the longer pet sitting, so "review" saying a dog walk was cancelled is not a negative on Sidney, just not necessary but she didn't cancel it electronically soon enough. She did a great job with the pets and will be happy to arrange for her to sit them again on future occasions.”

About: Juggling full-time studies and dedicated dog mom duties to German Shepard Stryker and rescue Doberman Luna. I’ve been raised with dogs and cats since childhood. As the go-to for family and friends in need of pet sitting, my reputation stands strong. I tend to spoil all the fur babies. Experienced with various breeds, adept at overcoming training and behavioral challenges. Your fur babies aren't just pets; they're family. Trust me to provide not just a service but a personalized, loving experience for your cherished family members. Your peace of mind, their wagging adventures. FYI the reason my rates are higher than expected is Rover takes out a big chunk. I have recently taken on an apprentice to take over my overflow of clients. If I’m unavailable for the dates you need, please message me and I can ask if she’s available. It’ll be at the same price rate, until she raises her rates. She really is great! Because of gas prices and time, travel outside of 10 mile/20 minute radius from home/Yelm will be charged travel cost per visit/day. As a dog mom myself, I understand the concern of leaving pets alone while at work. Offering dog walks, potty break, and house sitting in Thurston County and surrounding areas. My schedule is open all week Sunday-Saturday depending on availability. Reach out to schedule a meet and greet! I will not be offering stays at my house, but I can do house sitting. For house sitting please message me what dates/time you’re needing. I have made exceptions for last minute bookings when I’m available. At our meet and greet I’ll ask what their normal routines are and all their likes and dislikes. Please be aware that I may need to leave once a day during the weekdays my spouse works to let my doggo out, and possibly my regular drop ins depending when scheduled. To keep those away times at minimum please book far in advance so I can decline any extra clients. At my home our routine is; wake up, morning potty, enjoy a human-grade breakfast, another potty break, nap in mom's office. Playtime kicks in around noon, followed by post-lunch potty and another nap. We then join mom in her office, demanding attention, before yet another nap until the next break. Potty, Dinner, and Cuddles. Then one last potty before bed. We’re kinda couch potatoes in our home.
About: I have worked at an animal hospital for 5 years total where I learned how to train dogs from Kathy Sadao who used to train the wales to relinquish the bombs for the Navy. I have owned large and XL breed dogs my whole life as well. I will treat your dog like a human child as they will be allowed on my furniture, my bed, and probably my kids beds as well. I have a little over 10 acres for them to play on. We are starting a small farm style residents and would love to shower your fur babies with love and attention. Since starting Rover, 90% of my clients are returning, and become part of our family as well. I have trained people’s dogs in the time I have had them along with help manage dogs anxiety’s to different things. I helped a water aggressive dog become no longer water aggressive. A dog who pulled on a leash so hard you couldn’t walk him to now, my 6 year old son walks him with no worries. As much as my family loves to play with and cuddle your 4 legged babies we also love to help you out by training them if we can. I have plenty of time for all pet care needs to be met. I am a stay at home mom, but all my kids now go to school so your fur babies will have all my attention most of the time during the week. I have a fenced yard, very safe neighborhood, loving high energetic family, big house, 10 acres, and I have worked at an animal hospital in the past I can tell if something is wrong with your dog. If you would like I love sending pictures and videos as well.

About: I'm more than a quick potty-break sitter. I love giving dogs exercise, enrichment, and fun outdoor adventures tailored to their energy level. I frequently visit Tolmie State Park, where dogs can enjoy wooded trails, new scents, and beachside walks. Whether your pup loves exploring, playing, or simply getting extra attention, I'll provide personalized care and regular updates so you can feel confident while you're away. My availability is Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM–2:00 PM and again from 5:00 PM–12:00 AM. Weekend availability varies, so please feel free to reach out with your requested dates and times. I do my best to accommodate flexible scheduling whenever possible. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I treat every animal like a member of my own family. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, small reptiles and pet birds. I understand that every animal has its own personality, needs, and comfort level, and I take the time to build trust with each pet. For dogs, I provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection through walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures. For cats, I focus on maintaining a calm environment while providing companionship, play, and routine care. For birds, I ensure fresh food and water, clean living spaces, enrichment, and safe, attentive handling when appropriate. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind while they're away. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for every pet in my care.
“Amanda took great care of our big pup. Our boy loves cuddles and playing with other dogs—and he received lots of both! We’re very thankful for Amanda and the attention her whole family gave our pup.”
About: I can't remember a time growing up or much of my adult life that I have not had a dog, or cat, or both. I'm famous for bringing home strays of all kinds....turtles and rabbits to name a couple. Being with animals makes me happy and brings a content and fulfillment that only a furry friend can give. Your bundle of joy will receive an abundance of love and affection and as much play as they want! I am a laid back fur mom so if your pets are allowed on the furniture at home, that's okay by me. You'll find my cats and dog usually on the couch right next to me, and of course taking up most of the bed at night. I wouldn't have it any other way. And yes, I have regular conversations with my animals and I'm quite certain they understand everything I say, lol! Aside from loving my fur babies, I also volunteer at a local shelter. I would love a chance to meet your fur baby. Their paws are in good hands when they're with me! I am currently a stay at home wife enjoying this amazing opportunity to meet and care for so many awesome animals. I am truly blessed! I have a fenced yard and fur babies for yours to play with. If they'd rather play solo we can accomodate that as well. Or if you prefer, I can crate your four legged friends. I am here to make sure your furry loved ones are happy, safe, and healthy. I will do my absolute best to provide for any special requests or needs. Please ask!
