Personalized care for your dog or cat - Bigelow
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Bigelow
“I had to leave my dog for a longer period than I ever have before, and I was really nervous about it. That completely changed when I met Jerrie! She was so kind and understanding about my anxiety, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout my trip, she communicated consistently and sent photos, which made such a difference and helped me relax knowing my dog was in good hands. When I picked her up, it was clear my dog was happy to see me, but also that she had truly bonded with Jerrie and loved her. That meant everything to me. I will absolutely be using Jerrie from now on whenever I need to leave my dog. Highly recommend!”
“Kristin was great! She sent me pics of my dog everyday and kept me updated with everything. I can tell that she took great care of my dog because she was so happy when I picked her up. Definitely want to book again :) thank you again, Kristin!”
“Desiree and Steve again took wonderful care of our havapoo for a week+ vacation. Our dog got lots of cuddles and came home happy and healthy. They communicated well during our trip and sent pictures. We would definitely recommend them to others.”
“We wish we had found John and his family sooner! Nicki had a great time staying with them. We received daily updates and photos, and she even got to enjoy walks. For longer stays, we prefer that Nicki is the only dog or that the sitter only has one of their own, since she values her space. That said, for shorter stays, being around multiple dogs is totally fine—she gets to rest and recharge when she returns home. During her stay, she saw one other dog briefly, which was no issue. We would absolutely recommend John and plan to use his services again!”
“Our Rottweiler Raider had a great time with Tanya, family, and her dogs. This was our first time boarding our puppy. Our worries were little as Tanya sent us updates and pictures letting us know how Raider was doing. We will definitely will continue to have Tanya take care of our fur baby when we are out of town.”
“Jennifer and her family took great care of Barney. It was so nice to get so many photo updates each day. It was also nice for Barney to have other dogs to play with! I’m sure we will be back.”
“Highly recommend. They have a beautiful home with a nice, spacious backyard. Marianne and Josh are kind and have a lot of experience with dogs. With two sweet dogs of their own, my dog had built in companions while I was away. They are warm, welcoming, and sent lots of cute/funny pics & updates. Your dogs will be loved open arms. So grateful my dog could spend the holiday with such a thoughtful, warm, and fun family! Thank you so much for loving Chai!”
“Pamela was a dream! She loved our Aurora instantly and she was so well received by her other two small dogs she owns. My dog played every moment of the day at Pamela's Puppy Play Palace! She sent us regular updates of pictures and videos. It was clear she loved our dog like her own. Pamela has plenty of time for care and concern for our dog during the week with multiple walks and extra special love. Pamela was very conscientious about all our doggy needs and asked a lot of care questions. We are so thankful for her and will be using her again and again. Highly recommend!”
“One of our pups had a rough first impression at drop off but Cale was patient and willing to work with him. We received updates and great communication. Dogs were well cared for and happy when they came home!”
“James took amazing care of our dog Arlo over an extended weekend. James sent photos and a video. We could tell that Arlo was having a great time playing and running around with the other dogs. We felt comfortable knowing he was in a safe and comfortable home setting. We will definitely use James again in the future!”
“Absolutely amazing, she went above and beyond to keep my puppy for a 4-day weekend! So nice, very knowledgeable about dogs and proper care, and sent me pictures every day of them on walks and hanging out together. She goes in depth with talking to you about keeping up with your schedules/routines you’ve set at your home along with making sure all vaccines, flea/tick, etc are up to date (which I really appreciated). My puppy is super shy of people at first but he warmed up to her so quickly (dogs know dog people!!) I will definitely have her keep him again, full trust!”
“Our two pups just completed their first stay with Deidre and we couldn’t be happier on the care they received and the communication she had with us. We hope that she will have the availability to care from them in the near future but anticipate that she will grow in popularity due to her 1st class service!”
“Maggie was caring with our dog & great with communication when our family schedule required some flexibility. I felt like she was very responsive and would book w her again without hesitation.”
“Thank you, Colin, for taking such good care of Scout. Scout was happy and relaxed when I picked him up and in the daily photo updates. It’s obvious Colin cares deeply for animals and made sure his time with Scout was packed full of park adventures. 10/10 would recommend and will book with Colin again.”
“We were unable to get our senior dog into our normal boarding place and found Darby on Rover.com Darby was wonderful. She took great care of our needy dog. She administered her with daily medications, took her out for daily exercise and sent us emails with pictures to let us know how she was doing. I would highly recommend Darby for dog sitting. She is kind, professional and very organized.”

“Johanna is communicative and accommodating. She handled my grumpy cat very well and would always send cute photos of my cat that I appreciated while traveling”
“Ari was the best! Ari looked after our two cats over the thanksgiving holiday. We weren’t sure how the cats were going to react to a pet sitter, and Ari did a great job making sure all their needs were met and more.”

“Kacie took great care of our cats over the holidays and followed all directions perfectly. She's helped with our cats before and we plan to contact her whenever we need cat sitting in the future”
“Melanie was OUTSTANDING! She took in depth notes and cared for Click exactly how I wanted her to! I really appreciate it. She was responsive, communicative, came to meet Click and I even though I booked her extremely last minute. She was kind and I loved the photo updates she sent. She played with, groomed, and took care of the littler and tidying up. Melanie rocks!”
“Jed was absolute wonderful. For our first time using Rover, Jed sure made sure to make a great impression. He went more than above and beyond in taking care of our FOUR cats. Definitely recommend and will book again.”
“Jerrie is absolutely amazing and our cats did not hide from her. We were worried they would hide and stop eating but they did great. Jerrie always updated us and sent pictures. We will be working with Jerrie again. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Once again Deidre was amazing with my pups! I think they recognize her now because they are starting to come out of their kennel for her with no issues! Which is a huge accomplishment for them.”
“Maggie checked all boxes to make you feel comfortable leaving your fur and feather babies! She responded promptly and took great care in leaving thoughtful and detailed “report cards” for checkins. Upon returning the kittens and chickens were so happy and at ease. The house was also very clean. Highly recommend Maggie :)”
“I tried Rover app for a first time with Erica and I had great experience. Through this house sitting my kitties were happy, I got plenty of updates. I felt at ease the entire time!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bigelow
“Desiree was so flexible and accepted my fur babies at last minute. During the time I was gone I could tell they received lots of attention with all the pictures I received. I felt completely comfortable and will definitely book again in the future.”
“Bobbie and Joseph and their dog Athena are wonderful with my guy Eddie. It's heartwarming that he runs to them in the morning at drop off just like he runs to me at the end of the day. I know he's treated well and cared for well.”
“Deidre was amazing with our two whippets, Oliver and Finley! She has a spacious, fully fenced backyard where the boys had a blast running and playing. Her two pups were super friendly and got along great with ours. Deidre was incredibly easy to communicate with—flexible, responsive, and made the whole experience stress-free. We’d absolutely book with her again!”
“Our little Odie loved his time at Rochelle's! She took such good care of him and he came home calm and relaxed every day. Great communication and wonderful location. Highly recommend!”
“Beto had so much fun with Jennifer! Lot's of playtime with the other dogs, then got to curl up on the sofa for a nap. She sent a long a half dozen pics, two of which her husband took which are portrait quality. We will most definitely leave Beto with her again soon!”
“Darby was excellent with our girl, Cass! This was our first time being away from our 6 month old pup and we felt so comfortable that she was in good hands! Darby took Cass on a few walks and made sure she got lunch, dinner, and good exercise. Cass seemed to have had a great time and was so tired from all the fun she had when we got home. We will definitely be booking with Darby again!🤍”
“Harley was a little nervous to be left here since he's a little dog and Kacie has a big energetic dog, but at the end of the day, I knew Harley adapted and had a really good time. Kacie gave ample updates so that I didn't worry about my little guy.”
About: When I was little and people asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said 'dog walker' — and now I finally get to live that dream! This summer I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I have experience with both small and large dogs, as well as cats, and I treat every animal like my own. This summer I'm home in Olympia taking a college course, so my days are flexible and my focus is simple — hitting the books and spoiling some fur babies! I have plenty of time and am committed to giving your pet consistent, reliable care My home comes with a large fenced yard — plenty of room for your pup to run wild, explore, and have the time of their life!
“Rachel was so accommodating for our boys. Took them on a much needed walk and they slept like babies that night at home. It was our first time but she made us feel comfortable with photos and responded to texts in a timely manner. I am very grateful and will use her again!!”
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. I have a genuine love for being near animals and taking care of them because they brighten my day. I am currently in college I want to try to make pet sitting a part time job so I can save up for my future. The apartment comples I live in has a dog park where a lot of dogs go and have fun, if there is any type of schedule by the owner/owners I would follow it. I usually try to relax on my free time, reading books and enjoying art, my hobbies give me time to take care of and play with the animals that I care for. The doors are locked unless I or someone with a key unlocks them, i make sure that the dogs have a leash on before I open the door and that there are no cats near the door to run out.
“Sonia provided a fun day for my little guy! He loves going over there! He literally pulled the leash out of my hand to run to her door because he couldn't wait to go in! He is currently snoring away from playing and having such a good time!”
“James and Julia are incredible nice, very flexible with Leo’s needs and they communicate very well with us. Leo is always happy to go to doggy daycare. We highly recommend James and Julia.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages - from playful puppies to wise seniors, so I understand each stage’s unique needs. Whether it’s training, gentle care, or keeping them active and happy, I make sure every dog feels loved and safe. I work full-time from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your pups. I’m available for boarding any day of the week and can give them attention, walks, and cuddles whenever they need. I provide a safe and calm environment for pets. My home has a fully fenced yard, and there are no children or other pets, so your furry friend can play and relax freely and safely.
“Once again, Lauren was wonderful with our senior dog. She is so attentive, kind and patient with him, and her vet tech background is very reassuring to us. Thank you, Lauren!”
About: Had dogs my entire life. Lost my last one a few months ago. Have fenced in yard for them to run. And plenty of toys. I’m retired so I have nothing but time to watch your pet. I walk every day would love to have your dog along for the walk. I have a fenced in yard , and a.good sized back yard with squirrels that need to be chased. Your pet will be welcome in our home.
“We were very happy with our dogs care with Pamela. Our dog got the attention and activity with other dogs that he needed while we were gone for a day. And he was tired and happy when we picked him up 😀 It was nice to receive pictures thruout the day too! Will definately use Pamela's services again for our pup!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Bigelow
“Madison was SO great with our slightly anxious dog Griffy! She showed up on time, was responsive to messages, sent plenty of pictures and updates and best of all, our dog loved her and came home tired and happy while I was out of town. We'll be booking Madison again without a second thought!”
“I LOVE Helena! I'm new to the area and needed a last minute dog walker. She did a quick meet and greet that day and then was available for the next day. I got tons of pictures and updates and knew my pups were in great hands! Will definitely use her again!”
“I highly reccomend Brett! I got very sick and was in a pretty desperate situation with my newly rescued, very large pitt mix. I contacted Brett and he got in touch with me right away. He came at the drop of a hat a few days when Ash really need a walk. He even came from farther than he routinely helps people. Very reliable, punctual and kind. Was easily able to handle my 85 lb pitt mix. (With bad manners...lol) I'm very grateful for the help he gave me. Give him a call!”
“Matthew was courteous and quick with communication for our first meet & greet + walk. It is very clear that he has worked a lot with dogs and understands their unique personalities. Thank you!”
About: I've been a pet lover since I was a kid. I started with frogs, lizards and snakes, and graduated to cats and dogs. Until I was able to have dogs of my own, I spent over 10 years pet-sitting for friends and family, volunteering in animal shelters, and have even worked in 2 seperate doggy daycares. My MO is always long walks and lots of attention. I have 2 dogs of my own, a cumulative 17 years of pet raising experience. I have experience caring for sick pets and administering medication both orally and subcutaneously. I've had my pups since they were young and would consider them very well trained. If you're looking to work on certain behaviors, I can absolutely work on that during their stay. I have a fenced yard, a safe neighborhood for long walks, and for longer stays, expect your dog to enjoy a nice hike! I mostly work from home, so for daycare your dog(s) would never be alone and would have access to my fully fenced backyard whenever they want. During the week, I can do a long walk during my lunch break, and another after work. Weekends I tend to go hiking, so if your pup enjoys nature, they will for sure have a great time. Due to my variable work schedule, I cannot accommodate recurring appointments. My yard is fully fenced, and I have 2 friendly dogs. Safety is paramount, so dogs would be supervised while in the yard together. If your dog requires a crate, I have both a plastic and soft sided kennel for indoors.
“Kacie was a true treasure, she was always been on time, totally reliable. Being a medical traveler with random shifts it isn’t easy to find someone that is willing to do different hours and days. The dogs love her and I will continue using her services as long as I am in this area.”

“Maria is especially good at coaxing our dog out on walks when the pup doesn't want to go. We also appreciate that she submits Rover cards for each visit and leaves the house exactly as she found it. We feel so much better about being at work all day knowing Maria is spending time with our dog.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—dogs, cats, chickens, even a parrot—so caring for them is basically part of my DNA. I’m currently in school to become a dog trainer because working with animals isn’t just something I do, it’s genuinely what I love. I volunteer with a local shelter where I walk dogs, help ease kennel stress, and run playgroups for pups of all personalities. This year I even spent time volunteering at a dog shelter in Greece, which gave me hands-on experience with all kinds of temperaments and behavior quirks. I’m well-versed in positive reinforcement training and behavior modification, and I’m also certified in animal CPR and first aid—so your pet is in safe, capable hands. Whether your dog is shy, silly, high-energy, or needs a little extra patience, I’m here for it. I'm currently finishing school to be a dog trainer and I only work on call. I also have conferences and school stuff that occasionally take me out of state, which will be reflected on my calendar. I do playgroups at the shelter 3pm on every Thursday. Outside of that, I'm avaible. I can't board pets in my own home unfortunately. When it comes to boarding in your home, I suppose we can work out the details
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and truly believe that they all deserve to be treated like family. I currently don’t have any pets and I would love to help families out. I am currently available seven days a week and have a very flexible schedule. Whether you need drop-in visits, dog walking, daycare, or pet care during the day, I am happy to help. I have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run around and play. I’m very easy to work with as far as following owners instructions. Pets are also allowed in my home.
About: From a simple feed, check in and walk, to a week long house sit, I’ve had much experience taking care of all the sweet doggies out there! Having housed a few myself over the years, and a rescuer of one sweet little wiener named Bo, I will care for your best friend the best I can!! I’m a mom to three kids, and while they go to school during the day, I’d honestly love to make a little extra money to be able to support them more with their hobbies and other things they would love to do participate in to enhance their future! Taking care of pets seem like a great way to do that. I thrive on instructions for you pet(s) to ensure I can meet the needs to your little besties as well as satisfying the needs of their parents (you!)
“We travel frequently and Maggie watches our Great Dane and Shih Tzu. She is fantastic with both of them. We have complete confidence in Maggie and are so grateful to know her and have her caring for our pets. She is available on short notice, reliable, caring, thoughtful and thorough. She always share photos and fantastic text updates at every visit. 15/10!”
About: Since childhood I’ve enjoyed being around all pets and animals. I pet sit and house sit for friends and neighbors regularly. I work from home. I provide Reiki as well. If they want to go for a fun walk, swim, park or chill out snuggling then I’m flexible. Many dogs and cats that have a hard time socializing, eating, anxiety, I find ways to connect. My goal is to bring calm and support to what the animal needs while separated from their main caretaker. *I love large animals but unfortunately cannot accept requests right now for large dogs. I’m still recovering from breast cancer and unable to walk them if they pull. If you have fenced in yard, then I’ll consider. Please keep this in mind if you have jumpers as well. I work from home so I can stop in for a walk easily. If I can use your wifi, I can work from your home while hanging out with your pet. I cannot watch pets at my home. I’ll follow the normal routine in your home as closely as possible. Walks, dog parks, or snuggles.
“Erika and Maxwell are just the best! They were so sweet to our two dogs during the meet and greet, so we knew it was going to be a great fit. Our dogs can be a lot to walk because they are big and prey driven, but Maxwell and Erika were up to the challenge. We came back home to two very tired and happy girls. So happy we found them and hope we can book more walks and sits with them in the future!”

They sent pictures and updates regularly and responded immediately to any messages I sent. Lady had a great time with them and I can’t recommend Olivia and Tyler enough, thank you!”
“Michael was great with Milo!!! He observed Milo upon meeting him and gave me some pointers to stop Milo from pulling when I walk Milo with his leash on. Milo enjoyed his stay and was his happy self when I picked him up. Great Great Great with my Milo will definitely use Michael again to care for Milo when I need to be out of town.”
“Cooper was relaxed and happy while staying with Bobbi and her family. They treated him like their own dog and made him comfortable in their home. I would definitely use them again when needed. They are close to I-5 which made convenient drop off and pick up.”
“Erica was amazing and came through for a very minute request for a weeklong stay for my dog Luna. She was incredibly caring and responsive and Luna had an amazing time! Would use again in a heartbeat.”
“Bobbi is the actual best! She is deeply thoughtful and treats my dog like he is one of hers. My pup is still young and she will arrange to have other young dogs come to play. I can’t say enough good things about her and the peace I have knowing my dog is in great hands.”
