“Our Lab Tango had a great time staying with Bethany for a week while we were on vacation! This was our first time using Rover and are both very happy with the experience. She was very accommodating with our schedule since we missed our flight connection coming home. She sent us photos every day as an update and Tango came home very tired from all the exercise he got. We will definitely use her services again and are happy to have a place we can trust while we leave for vacations. ”
“Tiffany was amazing with our boys. She took both of them for the night. She sent me updates regularly and has a camera to see what the boys are doing at night time which was great to see what they were doing when not riled up. She was caring when our puppy was nervous about going inside and let us take our time making sure our boys were happy. This was our first time using Rover and we will definitely go back to Tiffany.”
“Connie did a super job of looking after our Stinky! She often sent photos and a video, keeping us posted on how he was doing. He made a special friend and looks like he had a great time! I’d highly recommend Connie to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Ryan has been the absolute best person to watch our elderly dog with arthritis and mobility problems. He has been excellent with his communication and sharing memorable moments while under his care. Having our precious dog with Ryan made our trip away for a week very stress free. Even when our plane was unexpectedly delayed we had great communication and laid out a plan that will work for us all. If you want someone who will love your dog and treat him/ her with the utmost care, love and attention then choose Ryan! We are so glad we did and we are sure you will agree!”

I have a large, fully fenced yard with indoor and outdoor access via a doggie door. The dogs can go in and out as they please and you can check in on them using the live camera feed.
“Thomas was great. Very easy going, our puppy randomly went into heat and he just rolled with it. They got to be outside for a lot of the day and he sent me photos throughout their stay. They were happy campers when they got back and we were able to enjoy the wedding festivities without worry. Thank you Thomas!”
“Once again, Jana took excellent care of my guy Riley!! He always appeared happy and content in the pictures she sent, and she updated me on his activities on a regular basis. Highly recommend using Jana to care for your fur baby!!”
“This was my first time boarding Freyja, and I was nervous about leaving her with someone she didn’t know. Angelle has a lot of experience with dogs and handled Freyja’s high energy really well. She sent me pictures during her stay, which helped put my mind at ease. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would feel comfortable having Angelle watch Freyja again!”

About: I grew up with pets and have been a pet owner most of my life.

We have a nice comfortable home and a very walkable neighborhood. I enjoy walking down to the South Bend waterfront, which is only a couple blocks from our house.

About: My name is Kaitlyn, and I'm a dog trainer in the Grays Harbor area. I have been successfully working with owners to rehabilitate fearful and/or reactive dogs for almost a decade now. I have also been a competitive dog agility instructor for 7 years. My own dog is Oakley, a Miniature American Shepherd, and he helps me with fearful or reactive dog clients by being a neutral dog with great communication skills. Before becoming a dog trainer full time, I worked at a dog daycare in Mukilteo for 3 years. It was a great experience and gave me a lot of knowledge about dog behavior and handling large groups of dogs. I compete in seven different dog sports with my own dogs, but we love agility and flyball most. I am available whenever I'm not already teaching classes or at a competition. Scheduling is open as we just moved to the new area from Seattle. I am experienced with dogs who are difficult or nervous around strangers. I use scientifically backed, LIMA guided dog training to guide dogs through their feelings as gently as I am capable while accomplishing learning. In any case, I like to engage with dogs in a way that's most comfortable for them. Each dog is different! I am not comfortable taking unfamiliar dogs off leash outside of the home or yard for safety reasons, but I am happy to work on this skill with them if requested!
About: Hi there! I’ve been house sitting and dog walking for family friends since I was around 10. I’ve grown up with many responsibilities on a cattle farm and love spending time with ALL animals! I also work at a dog kennel in Montesano WA, where I take care of many dogs and cats, making sure they are comfortable and get lots of love. I currently go to Adna Highschool where I compete in basketball and softball, so I’ve been looking for a flexible job to work during season! I have two dogs of my own, a silver lab and a heeler, they are well loved and played with lots on the daily. I have lots of experience with high maintenance water dogs and energetic farm dogs!
About: I have 15 years of hands-on experience caring for my own cats, including daily feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and monitoring overall health and behavior. I understand the importance of routine, patience, and creating a calm, safe environment. I also have volunteer experience providing foster care for cats in my local community, including kittens, a cat mom with her litter, adult cats, and senior cats. I truly adore cats and enjoy every stage of life they’re in and believe there’s so much we can learn from them 🐾
“New to snohomish, we were worried about leaving our tiny house and two kittens for two weeks while out of the country, but after meeting Megan, we were confident they were in great hands! Megan sent us updates and pictures during our trip. When we arrived home, the kitties were happy & the house safe. We would highly recommend Megan!”
About: I’ve had animals all my life from dogs and cats to rats and rabbits and guinea pigs. I’ve been officially taking care of animals and helping my friends and family with theirs for the last six years. I’ve house and dog sat for many friends and family members.

I personally have a cat and three dogs. One who is a large 100 pound pitbull a medium size husky and a German shepherd puppy is only four months old. I have experience with puppies and kittens up to adult dogs and cats. I do work full-time however at the moment I am on a break for personal reasons so I am free whenever. I can help with walking or watching whatever is necessary. At my own place, I have a fenced in yard that the dogs are able to run around and play. I have my own dogs that would love to join in if able or allowed. Inside the house I have a gate that separates the two sides of the house so that they won’t be able to do anything without me being there. If needed, I do have an extra kennel if the dog needs to be kenneled.

“Kyndra was amazing with my dogs Archie and Rev! She was super responsive and accommodating to everything with my schedule this weekend and I am so grateful she was able to help out with my pups. She always responded to me so quickly to let me know how they were doing and I had to pick them up later than I anticipated and it was no problem at all for her. Thank you so much Kyndra for taking care of my pups like they are your own! I will definitely rebook the next time I am in town 🙂”

About: I have a lot of experience caring for dogs. My best furriend is my 12 year old rescue mix, Auri. But I really love all dogs! Auri and I love going to the beach and relaxing at home. Auri gets along with most everyone, while she loves humans the most, she also gets along great with other dogs and cats. We have done dog walking and pet sitting for plenty of friends of family. Our style is a mix of relaxing/ snuggling/ napping and long walks or dog park visits. We also like to hike and explore dog-friendly spots around OS. Most of all, we like finding beautiful spots to take photos! I work part time, remotely from home. And my partner is also home full time currently. We are both animal lovers and prioritize taking care of any pets staying with us. I have a fenced yard and 1 senior dog who is friendly as long as I keep her food in a secure room :) We are happy to host here at our home or come to you.
“Caitlin has been amazing with Nai’a! Though Nai’a is an anxious pup, she liked Caitlin instantly when we met the first time. Since then Nai’a has stayed over at Caitlin’s a few times and once Caitlin watched her at our house. One of the biggest challenges with Nai’a is that she runs away from her sitters. But, with Caitlin it’s finally been working out well and I feel so relieved to have found a regular sitter! Caitlin sends photos regularly and Nai’a seems to have fun at her house with her pups. Also, she is really sweet and flexible. Thanks so much for everything Caitlin!”
“Janina is absolutely amazing! Connecting with her for dog sitting was like chatting with an old friend it felt comfortable and easy. She went above and beyond to make sure my pup was taken care of I knew I left her in good hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

When I was young I had a car, a shitzu dog another dog I can’t remember the breed, a Rottweiler shepherd mix, and full German shepherd. I currently have 2 black lab hound mixes!

About: I have always picked up pet sitting and walking gigs since I was young! I lived in an area where people needed a lot of house/pet sitting so I have watched pretty much every animal (even stick bugs) I grew up in the Seattle area, so I can guarantee that I am a trust worthy sitter. I also have a lot of past experience in childcare (I’ve taught English in Thailand and have also worked at a Children’s autism center) so that can show you that I am also kind, which is a very important character for a pet sitter in my opinion. I currently am only work 30 hours a week, my days off are Monday-Wednesday and I am available every day until 5. So I basically have the opposite schedule of what most people are working which is perfect :) I also live in an apartment with 2 small dogs (shitzu/poodle mixes) and 2 cats (tabby cats). I love them all, they all varie in ages and gender so I am very familiar with caring for animals and knowing what each individual animal requires, so that shows that I can also watch multiple pets at a time without worry :) Also I am a very fit person, I love getting outside in walks and in nature, but I also do like staying in and cooking or reading a book. So whether your pet wants to go adventure or just chillax, then I’m your girl!

“Veronica has been amazing!! She was available very last minute (the day before) when I needed someone to walk my newly adopted dog.

Depending on every pups personal preference, I do slow distanced introductions and eventually close the gap till everyone is comfortable. Once introduced as friends, we can do all activities as a group!

“Tiffany was amazing with our boys. She took both of them for the night. She sent me updates regularly and has a camera to see what the boys are doing at night time which was great to see what they were doing when not riled up. She was caring when our puppy was nervous about going inside and let us take our time making sure our boys were happy. This was our first time using Rover and we will definitely go back to Tiffany.”
“Ryan has been the absolute best person to watch our elderly dog with arthritis and mobility problems. He has been excellent with his communication and sharing memorable moments while under his care. Having our precious dog with Ryan made our trip away for a week very stress free. Even when our plane was unexpectedly delayed we had great communication and laid out a plan that will work for us all. If you want someone who will love your dog and treat him/ her with the utmost care, love and attention then choose Ryan! We are so glad we did and we are sure you will agree!”
“Thomas was great. Very easy going, our puppy randomly went into heat and he just rolled with it. They got to be outside for a lot of the day and he sent me photos throughout their stay. They were happy campers when they got back and we were able to enjoy the wedding festivities without worry. Thank you Thomas!”
“Once again, Jana took excellent care of my guy Riley!! He always appeared happy and content in the pictures she sent, and she updated me on his activities on a regular basis. Highly recommend using Jana to care for your fur baby!!”
“This was my first time boarding Freyja, and I was nervous about leaving her with someone she didn’t know. Angelle has a lot of experience with dogs and handled Freyja’s high energy really well. She sent me pictures during her stay, which helped put my mind at ease. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would feel comfortable having Angelle watch Freyja again!”

“From a print response time, to pick up and drop off of our pups Megan was awesome. She kept us updated with pictures and texts. Our dogs were exhausted and happy when they returned home.”
