Personalized care for your dog or cat - Potlatch
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Potlatch
“Lindsay took such great care of Laramie for my 2 week trip! It was Laramie’s first time in boarding since she came to us in late 2025, so I was a bit anxious. Laramie is a pretty sensitive girl, and Lindsay was incredibly patient, gentle, and thoughtful with her. It was clear she really paid attention to what Laramie needed to feel comfortable and safe. I really appreciated how much care Lindsay put into helping her settle in and feel secure. Lindsay’s home and single-client at a time set-up was perfect for Laramie. Laramie ended up doing very well during her stay, which meant a lot to me. I’m so grateful for the kindness and attention Lindsay gave her, and I will absolutely trust her with Laramie again. I loved the updates, pictures, and videos that Lindsay sent. It gave me such joy knowing that Laramie was happy and well cared for!”
“Kaylee has boarded Xena multiple times and it’s always great! Many pictures and updates, and Xena loves her and her kids. We’re happy knowing Xena is with Kaylee while we’re away!”
“They provided excellent communication to me the entire way! The best boarding i have received from Rover. They went above and beyond to ensure that my dog was well taken care of when she was experiencing some separation anxiety overnight.”
“Nate and Roxana are so nice and took good care of our boy. They have beautiful acreage with a pond where the dogs can have a blast. Our favorite part, our boy Charlie was freshly bathed before pick up. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Kayla and Jacob took amazing care of our energetic lab. The property was great for our dog to play and explore. Their family treated our dog as one of their own, making us feel at ease while we were away for an extended time. Would definitely use again!”
“Charis was the absolute perfect pet sitter for our adopted Pug. Our pup had never been boarded before. And, because she’s used to going with us almost everywhere she experiences significant separation anxiety when she cannot go. And, although she likes her crate we do not crate her at night. She has always slept on our bed with us. Charis understood & did not have any problem allowing our pup to sleep on their bed with them. And, dog loves playing with other dogs. So, the fact that Charis had French & English Bulldogs that were of similar size & temperament made her place the obvious choice. Not to mention the kind & caring atmosphere at her home. It was very obvious that our pup had a great time because she came home exhausted & happy. And, was very relaxed & at peace the next day. We also really appreciated receiving daily updates & photos via text. It really helped to set our minds at ease. We definitely intend to use Charis again. And, we will highly recommend her services to everyone we meet.”
“We left our dog Finn overnight with Frances, and he had a great stay! He loved all the toys in her yard and had a blast playing with her two dogs. Frances was very easy to communicate with and provided periodic updates about how Finn was doing. Overall a wonderful experience!”
“Lorelei was extremely flexible for our hectic holiday schedule. She was quick with her responses and took care of Dani just like her own pup. I highly recommend Lorelei to take care of your dog!”
“Cale did a wonderful job taking care of my pup! He sent daily updates and pictures, and my pup looked so happy playing with the other pups. I’m always nervous leaving my dog with a new sitter, but I quickly felt at ease after meeting Cale. Very kind and responds quickly, and he remembered all the details about my dog. I will definitely book again.”
“Tammie was fantastic. We travelled internationally and she kept us up to date, sending regular updates and photos. We were looking for a new place where our dog would be outside exploring vs kenneled and Tammie’s was perfect. She will be our go to!”
“James is in incredible! It’s always hard to leave our big guy but I had such peace of mind with him staying in it’s James. He was extremely communicative, sent me all the photos, reached out with any questions he had, and Toby had an absolute BLAST! I will absolutely 💯 be using his services again. And so should anyone else!”
“So wonderful! I dog sit myself and seldom need a sitter for my pouch, but this month I needed to make an emergency trip to Canada (stressful enough) and needed a good sitter for my 17 year old Shih Tzu with medical issues. Claire is incredible. It is so nice to be able to leave Tex in her care and know he is so well taken care of.”
“Our pup had a fantastic time with Christianna! She took wonderful care of our dog. A trip to the lake with her family, walks and lots of play time with her two dogs - even allowed on the furniture 😊. I really appreciated the pics and texts reassuring me. I absolutely would use and recommend Christianna to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“Amanda is amazing--seriously a dream. Piper had a blast and Amanda kept us updated with pictures and videos. We are so thankful to have found her! She is clearly extremely knowledgeable and effective with dogs, especially those with high energy and who love to play. The moment we met her I knew she was going to be amazing. We have had some bad experiences with other providers who clearly are not equipped to handle dogs or understand the world of dogs. Amanda speaks "dog" through and through and loves them, which you can feel and see in just five minutes of meeting her. She doesn't just love them--she knows how to handle them and is clearly very experienced.”
“Dani’s care exceeded any expectations we had. From introductions, communication, follow ups, there were so many details she provided. We received updates and photos of our pup, a nice treat for us. We thought pup may not want to come back as she was living her best live ever. Definitely will recommend Dani, and she will be our first thought for future care.”
“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!”

“Grace and her mom checked on our cats while we were gone for two weeks. Felt very comfortable with them, and they had great communication. Would recommend them and will hopefully be rebooking with them in the future.”
About: I've been a dog mom for 18 years. My dogs have provided me with companionship, loyalty, joy, structure, and unconditional love over the years. My first dog, Angel, was a Beauceron mix with a blue tongue. She was my best friend, my protector, my shadow. I loved her fiercely. She went over the rainbow bridge three years ago at the age of 14. About a year before she passed, our Kai Ken/Mudi mix, Cody Coyote, joined the family as her companion. This past summer, Corgi pup, Michael, moved in. My son's first official dog. We take regular walks together and they are always making us smile and laugh. I know how special pup companions are and I would love to help you care for yours. Daily walks with my pups are very important for me and for them. I need the movement, and they need to smell. On the weekend, I have more time to walk more pups, check on them, give potty breaks, or feed them. My pups have a fenced in yard and are able to take regular potty breaks every two to four hours. We take walks after I get off work. My pups eat breakfast before I work and eat dinner when my family does. I am available on weekends to give your pup/s potty breaks every two to four hours, up to three walks a day, and feeding in your home.
“Chelsea was so great! She sent lots of little updates on how the cats were doing, even though the cats themselves decided to hide every time she came back over. I could tell they had both been really well cared for, and they were happy and right back to themselves when I got home, so I know they weren't stressed about me being gone with her coming by to check on them. Thank you!!”
“Tammie is awesome! I hired her to do drop-in visits for my cat Lindy while I was out of town. She was really communicative with me throughout my whole trip, even sending me daily photos and videos so I could see first hand how Lindy was doing. I felt like Lindy was being well taken care of each visit which I so appreciate.”
“Willow was such an excellent sitter for my dog. She sent plenty of updates and really made us feel comfortable being away from our pup. I couldn’t have been happier with her service and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

About: I have cared for my own dogs since I was a child, and have spent time petsitting for neighbors and friends as well. I worked at a dog daycare for a year, which I loved. I'm not working right now so I have time on my hands to care for your dogs! I am not available on weekends or on Wednesday evenings as I have class. When I house sit for you I am able to do whatever it is your dog is used to, whether it's playing with toys, going on walks or running in the yard, I'll be sure to give your pet what they need at all times.
About: I have had pets in the family since I was 9 years old, including cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, rats, tarantulas, and fish. I have been a pet sitter for many years while folks have been gone for months at a time, requiring me to live at their residence. I worked with puppies, sick dogs, multiple dogs, bottle fed baby yaks (yes really), and am extremely clean and reliable. I am currently employed part time and have lots of availability as long as pet owners are aware that I could be gone upwards of 8 hours. I am looking for reliable and dependable clients that need long term help. Having a routine is not only good for me, but it is also good for your pet. I provide in home sitting only as I live with my parents and they have their own pets. I am working and have a lot of free time. I hope to find a job working from home and am looking for a new house with a fenced yard! I have a very energetic cattle dog that can be included in playtime. My partner loves all animals and we spend a lot of time with all of our animals.

“My 5 year old Siberian Husky got all excited today when we pulled up at Lindsay’s house. It is obvious that Tilly has a new sitter friend in Lindsay. Great job and thanks again!”
About: -->PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BOOK<-- *I have 2 indoor cats (extremely friendly with dogs/cats) and they love to play with the pups. Make sure your pet is friendly with them too ^^ *If this is your first time with me please let's set up a Meet and Greet so you can meet me and my pets and make sure we are a good fit for your pup!! (I don't take new pets without a previous meet and greet, unless is an emergency case) My priority is to keep your pet safe, comfortable and fully entertained while you are away. Walks around the lake in our neighorhood surrounded by nature are a must do in our daily check list (sometimes we even take them to the mall to socialize and get free treats lol) As a pet sitter I'm offering house & pet walking/sitting opportunities to families (I'm willing to travel farther and pick up them by myself)! I have aided many friends & family members in keeping their pets safe to keep their stay-away stress free! I have years experience with dogs and cats. Feel free to DM for more details or if you need a better deal for long-term boarding 😊 I'm currently at home 24/7. My pets and I are used to wake up at 5:30 sm in the morning for the first "Potty Time" Breakfast between 7-8 am. Walks after midday, naps when/if they are tired. Dinner at 5 pm Generally I take my pets out for potty 3 times a day or when they ask me for. Every dog has their own personality so feel completely free to tell me their routines ❣️❣️(feeding time, potty hours, allowed or not on bed/couch etc) Max and Cleo are Great Pyrenees, 2 extremely gentle giants that love to play and take care of any kind of animals (they are very calm but they love to bark at the begging, they get tired easily after some minutes of play time). In the other hand, Kai is a medium size old doggy, he gets very excited with new pets but a few minutes later he just ignore them and likes to go back to take long naps on the couch. I have 2 friendly indoor cats, they mostly spend the day sleeping inside the bedroom or playing with the dogs from time to time.
About: I just recently moved to the Shelton area and have been working with animals my whole life. Your pets are my #1 priority and I always value safety the most. It’s important to me that your pet gets the care, exercise and attention that it needs on a daily basis safely. I live on a golf course with a lake so it’s the perfect area for your pet to get fresh air with a scenic view and plenty of nature to enjoy. I’m always open to new ideas with adventures you’d like your pet to go on or how you’d like your pet to be taken care of. I’ve worked with all types of dogs from elderly/disabled to aggressive giant dogs and puppies that just had surgery. I look forward to meeting with you and your fur babies and set up a meet and greet! It is my full time job so I take it as serious as possible. I love animals and will always give them the love and care they need My home does not have a fenced back yard so I will make sure anytime they leave the house they will be on a leash to keep them safe. I have a large shop where I spend most of my down time where they will have plenty of space to run around and get there zoomies out in a safe space. There are plenty of parks around me with water access at our lake and great walking trails/paths on the golf course where I live.
“Very pleased with Nate and Roxana’s care for my girl! She was excited and anxious and came home and crashed!! Tired girl from group okay. It was a first daycare experience and she did so great. Appreciated all the pictures and updates. Very responsive in a timely manner. I was put at ease since I was a little nervous leaving her. Great set up/property for the doggies as well! Will be booking again!”
“Kaylee and her family are awesome and we are very lucky to have her in our area! Andy loves coming to their place and see all his friends and he sees them as his other family. 5 stars is not enough to rate Kaylee.”

About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was 2 years old. My dog was my best friend from 2-16 yrs. I was raised on a mini farm and was lucky enough to care for horses, cows, pigs, chickens, several dogs, many cats and recently goats. Nothing brings me more happiness than being around our furry friends. Currently, we have 3 miniature poodle mixes, which we love beyond words. We recently adopted a St. Bernard/Pitbull mix. We have a big dog house 24’x12’ fully fenced to board big dogs. Medium 20 lbs to extra small dogs board/daycare inside our home. We offer an alternative to traditional boarding/daycare. Our dogs are family and guest dogs are welcomed to our family pack. Animals are my passion and bring me fulfillment and joy! Providing daycare and boarding is my profession. I worked a corporate job 35 years as a director in the health insurance field. After I was laid off I decided to not go back to the long hours and stress. Instead I dove head first into following my dream of opening a pet service business. I’ve taken my business experience and love for animals to the next level. I am excellent at following the care plan you give me. I want to take care of your pet as you would with as much love as I can give them. I understand the need for pet parents to travel or work knowing their pets are safe, exercised and loved. I offer a customized experience developed just for your dog.

“Ruby was amazing with my young Golden! He was so excited to see her when she arrived. I recently had surgery and haven’t been able to walk him, so it was such a relief knowing he could get out and burn some energy beyond the backyard — especially on Thanksgiving day! Ruby was right on time and even sent me a photo. Highly recommend!”
“I am so glad to have found Frankie for my yellow Labrador. She was flexible with scheduling, and made all efforts to accomodate any last minute requests. Jaggi was at ease with her all the time. She really took care of my dog like he was her own. I will not be looking for anyone else to sit my dog for a while. Thank you Frankie for being so awesome.”
About: I’ve almost always had a dog and/or cat(s) in my home. I’ve been the primary caregiver for my current dog for over 8 years now. She is a highly anxious dog who has to have pills medication twice daily for years now. So I’m very comfortable with administering pills to dogs. I’m most familiar with anxious dogs and they almost always calm down relatively quickly to my gentle grounded nature. I enjoy seeing how happy a simple walk or hike can give a dog and love to give them many opportunities to do so. I have several years experience with pet/house sitting for neighbors and friends. My discipline style = positive reinforcement and gentle but firm reminders. Redirecting their attention typically works wonders. My schedule is currently open to new clients. Let’s chat and see if what you need aligns with what I have to offer at the current moment. Safety is my first priority so I take instructions from you very seriously. You let me know what the rules and constraints are for your home and fur-baby, I will follow them carefully. Tell me what your fur-baby needs and I’ll make sure it gets done.

“Lindsay took such great care of Laramie for my 2 week trip! It was Laramie’s first time in boarding since she came to us in late 2025, so I was a bit anxious. Laramie is a pretty sensitive girl, and Lindsay was incredibly patient, gentle, and thoughtful with her. It was clear she really paid attention to what Laramie needed to feel comfortable and safe. I really appreciated how much care Lindsay put into helping her settle in and feel secure. Lindsay’s home and single-client at a time set-up was perfect for Laramie. Laramie ended up doing very well during her stay, which meant a lot to me. I’m so grateful for the kindness and attention Lindsay gave her, and I will absolutely trust her with Laramie again. I loved the updates, pictures, and videos that Lindsay sent. It gave me such joy knowing that Laramie was happy and well cared for!”
“Kaylee has boarded Xena multiple times and it’s always great! Many pictures and updates, and Xena loves her and her kids. We’re happy knowing Xena is with Kaylee while we’re away!”
“They provided excellent communication to me the entire way! The best boarding i have received from Rover. They went above and beyond to ensure that my dog was well taken care of when she was experiencing some separation anxiety overnight.”
“Nate and Roxana are so nice and took good care of our boy. They have beautiful acreage with a pond where the dogs can have a blast. Our favorite part, our boy Charlie was freshly bathed before pick up. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Kayla and Jacob took amazing care of our energetic lab. The property was great for our dog to play and explore. Their family treated our dog as one of their own, making us feel at ease while we were away for an extended time. Would definitely use again!”
“Charis was the absolute perfect pet sitter for our adopted Pug. Our pup had never been boarded before. And, because she’s used to going with us almost everywhere she experiences significant separation anxiety when she cannot go. And, although she likes her crate we do not crate her at night. She has always slept on our bed with us. Charis understood & did not have any problem allowing our pup to sleep on their bed with them. And, dog loves playing with other dogs. So, the fact that Charis had French & English Bulldogs that were of similar size & temperament made her place the obvious choice. Not to mention the kind & caring atmosphere at her home. It was very obvious that our pup had a great time because she came home exhausted & happy. And, was very relaxed & at peace the next day. We also really appreciated receiving daily updates & photos via text. It really helped to set our minds at ease. We definitely intend to use Charis again. And, we will highly recommend her services to everyone we meet.”
“We left our dog Finn overnight with Frances, and he had a great stay! He loved all the toys in her yard and had a blast playing with her two dogs. Frances was very easy to communicate with and provided periodic updates about how Finn was doing. Overall a wonderful experience!”
“Cale did a wonderful job taking care of my pup! He sent daily updates and pictures, and my pup looked so happy playing with the other pups. I’m always nervous leaving my dog with a new sitter, but I quickly felt at ease after meeting Cale. Very kind and responds quickly, and he remembered all the details about my dog. I will definitely book again.”
“Tammie was fantastic. We travelled internationally and she kept us up to date, sending regular updates and photos. We were looking for a new place where our dog would be outside exploring vs kenneled and Tammie’s was perfect. She will be our go to!”
“James is in incredible! It’s always hard to leave our big guy but I had such peace of mind with him staying in it’s James. He was extremely communicative, sent me all the photos, reached out with any questions he had, and Toby had an absolute BLAST! I will absolutely 💯 be using his services again. And so should anyone else!”
“Our pup had a fantastic time with Christianna! She took wonderful care of our dog. A trip to the lake with her family, walks and lots of play time with her two dogs - even allowed on the furniture 😊. I really appreciated the pics and texts reassuring me. I absolutely would use and recommend Christianna to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“Amanda is amazing--seriously a dream. Piper had a blast and Amanda kept us updated with pictures and videos. We are so thankful to have found her! She is clearly extremely knowledgeable and effective with dogs, especially those with high energy and who love to play. The moment we met her I knew she was going to be amazing. We have had some bad experiences with other providers who clearly are not equipped to handle dogs or understand the world of dogs. Amanda speaks "dog" through and through and loves them, which you can feel and see in just five minutes of meeting her. She doesn't just love them--she knows how to handle them and is clearly very experienced.”
“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!”
“Luisa took great care of Hank and shared many wonderful updates during his stay! As first time clients, we were very appreciative of her availability for a meet and greet where Hank got meet a number of the other pups and get familiar with her space!”
“I've used a lot of people on Rover and I've always been happy but this time I am extremely happy he did such a great job with communication my dog was extremely happy and I couldn't ask for a better person to watch my dog”
