“People say they love animals, but not everyone truly does! I believe Kimberly truly loves animals. I feel she treated my puppies like they were hers. I am fairly new to leaving my girls with a sitter, Kimberly put my mind at ease. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will have Kimberly watch Thelma and Louise anytime I need a sitter again.”
“Angelia did an amazing job caring for my senior dog. I am so grateful for all the love and care Angela's family gave Winter. Winter looked for her new friends after we got home. She has a good time.”
“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.”
“Kevin took excellent care of our pups! He was very communicative, provided lots of pics and videos, and made sure they were safe and taken care of. It's clear he treated them like his own. We highly recommend him for your dog care!”
“Jerrie is the best!! She is loving and kind. She maintains communication with text messages and photos of the dog while in her care. Our dog, Hazel, loves to be with her and enjoys the atmosphere. We felt at peace while on vacation knowing Jerrie was caring for Hazel as if her own.”
“Our girls had a great stay with Kat. We were a little bit worried about having them stay with someone since they haven't in so long but Kat was really reassuring and they had fun. We got daily video and/or photos of our girls while we were away. That help immensely to reassure us. Our girls loved having social interaction with the other dogs that stayed there. Thank you again. We will definitely use Kat next time.”
“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.”
“Annmarie did a fantastic job taking care of our 3 month old fur baby!. Her communication while watching our fur baby was great and we appreciated receiving pictures of her playing and getting all the cuddles. We will absolutly book Annmarie for any future dog sitter needs and highly recomend her!!.”
“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!”
“Alexis does a fantastic job of taking care of our Abbey. Walks, treats and fun! We can have a wonderful trip without having to worry about our sweet girl while she is with Alexis.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Toni was a fantastic Rover host! She was great at communicating worth me and very good at providing updates during my dog's stay. Our dog was treated like family during her stay and was obviously happy and relaxed. I will definitely use Toni again in the future.”
“Momo was relaxed when we picked him up, which is not his normal mode outside of our family. Andrew and Mariah were very communicative and professional. Very much appreciate them!”
About: I have been a veterinary assistant for about 2 years and love animal science. Eventually, I want to become a veterinarian- but for now I have my Bachelor's in Arts and Science from UW tacoma. I have 3 friendly dogs and a fenced-in yard. My dogs are kennel- trained and understand that sometimes other dog friends need space before being playful. I am a stay-at-home mom of one child and two friendly dogs. I am home almost everyday and able to care for your pet hourly if needed. My yard is huge, grassy and fully/securely fenced. Your dog can interact with mine or you can request to keep them separate, as I can accommodate that as well. My dogs spend most of their time in my fenced-backyard. They have space to run and trees for shade. They all like to take turns chewing on bones I give them, lay in the sunshine, play tug-o-war with the rope toy. Dogs are crate trained so if your dog needs attention separately I can accommodate easily.
“Desiree and her little helper were wonderful. Xena was able to play with Desiree's precious little helper which allowed Xena to interact with children. We felt comfortable that Xena were in good hands with the pictures and video that we received. Thank you Desiree and little helper!!!”
“Always so amazing! We have left our puppy with Pamela more than once and always feel completely comfortable! We know our pup is in good hands and we can enjoy our trip! He has a great time too!”
“It was wonderful to work with Scott and the sweet pup Nico. Brass had a great time and came home ready for a nap! I won't hesitate to call again when I need to leave Brass with a great family.”

“Austin has been a great help, doing drop in visits daily and playing with my pups- giving them lots of love and attention while we are away on a trip! Highly recommend him!”
“Alexis was amazing! She worked with my odd hours and sent me great updates! She had an awesome system for the cats and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Would definitely recommend.”
“Carter was a great house and cat sitter. He left our house just as clean if not cleaner than when we left. He stripped the bedding and bathroom and kitchen towels, washed them and left them folded. We got great kitty updates each day with pictures. Just an overall friendly guy and took great care of our kitties. We look forward to booking Carter again!”
“Angela graciously accepted our last-minute boarding request for our cat and was incredibly accommodating, even when our we were delayed due to traffic and weather. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease—she is warm, caring, and clearly loves animals. She thoughtfully kept our cat separate from her dogs, which we really appreciated. Throughout the stay, our cat seemed comfortable, relaxed, and happy. Angela provided timely updates and was always quick to respond to our questions. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”

“Ruby watched our girl Luna while we were away for a work trip. She made Luna feel very comfortable, and my husband and I were relieved knowing our girl was being watched by an incredibly trustworthy person. Ruby also brought in packages for us and notified us where she left them in our place. We highly recommend Ruby and will be having her pet sit for us again!”
“This was our first time with a new pet sitter here in WA and it was really lovely to get home and find all our babies restful and relaxed. She took care of all their needs (we have 4 senior babies) and even checked off the list I left for her! She updated me with texts too which was really nice. Thank you Ronda!”
“Claire provides conscientious and caring pet care! She easily "herded" our four cats, each with different dietary needs, with ease. Highest recommendations for Claire!”
About: Some of my earliest memories were fur baby family members. I lived in households with black and brown lab's, Shar Pei's, Yorkie's, Chihuahua, and multiple cats. At 5 years old I wanted a cat so bad that I hid one in the car. My mom noticed the cat on the drive home. After discussing it with the original owner it was discovered that he did need a new home and that is how Smokie joined the household. At 8 years old, I got permission for my second cat Speckles. I was allowed to help bottle feed him before he was able to come home with me. He lived to the age of 19. My schedule is very open and flexible, I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies. Wednesday mornings I go visit my grandma, I am free during the afternoon after visiting her. I will be caring for your pets in your home. I'm available for drop in care, check-in's, pet sitting, house sitting, and overnight care. I do have mobility limitations, I walk with the assistance of a cane and therefore am unable to offer pet walking services at this time. I have a service animal, my small dog Leroy. He gets along very well with cats and dogs of all sizes.
“Becky did an outstanding job taking care of my cat Buddy while I was away! She provided daily updates with pictures, and I had peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away. Will definitely be rebooking with Becky in the future!”
“Mary is a wonderful pet sitter! She took excellent care of my sweet, shy kitty for the whole nearly 3 weeks I was away and even took pictures of Cassidy-cat at every visit. She also made sure my tank of shrimp and snails were fed and the water level stayed good! I would absolutely choose to have Mary come look after my pet fam again the next time I go on vacation. She rocks!”
About: I enjoy brushing cats hair and just petting them while they are relaxing or simply just letting them be. I have experienced giving basic medicine to cats with my own personal cats through out my time
About: I've taken care of cats for about 4 years now, I am used to special diets and medications if needed. I clean the litter boxes at least once a day if not twice depending on how many feedings they need.
About: I will make sure your animal(s) know I care about them as if they were my own and am eager to pass on my companionship to any other animals when they need a person. I've been house sitting for about 5 years now and have had multiple repeat families. Im currently working part-time so will have time to show your pets love and company. I also have a live in partner at my place that helps make sure im available for overnight sitting out of the house as well! I care for pets in clients home, and making sure that im aware of any escape artists or what exactly is required of me to fully care for your pets-i.e. food times, potty times, if they are able to be left alone and if so then for how long, etc.
“Annmarie was fabulous! I would use her again! She is thoughtful and caring about your pet. Sent pictures and you can tell she cares for your family pet kindly. So glad to have found her!!! Thank you”
“Ashley took such great care of my three cats! She was very on time for our scheduled drop ins, extremely communicative, and genuinely cared for my cats’ well being. I would definitely hire her again!”
About: As someone who deeply understands and appreciates the unique personalities of cats, I believe they deserve care that’s as thoughtful and intuitive as they are. To me, cats are family intelligent, emotional, and full of character. I offer reliable, gentle, and trustworthy care that respects their space while providing companionship and comfort. Whether your cat prefers quiet lap time or just a familiar presence nearby, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs and routines. With me, your feline friend will feel safe, loved, and completely at ease in your absence.

“We had a really great experience! Jett & Denver were well taken care of, and it was obvious they were happy. We got tons of updates and pictures, which we really appreciated. They were also super accommodating to our pets’ needs, which made everything so much easier. Will definitely book again!”

I have also been a cat mom of 4 at once and love cats too! I have my dog, Brodie, and my routine revolves around him. I make sure he gets the memtal and physical stimulation and exercise he needs to be healthy and happy. I want to help my clients and pets with this as well for their families.

“Yesterday was the first time I used the app to have kevin aka Holden , watch my dog, Ruger, but Ruger has been to his farm many times—probably over 100! Ruger absolutely loves going there and gets so excited whenever we get close to Kevin’s driveway. He knows exactly where he’s going and can’t wait to see Kevin’s dogs, goats, chickens, and other animal freinds. Kevin’s farm is an amazing place for dogs—spacious, safe fenced, well maintained and full of life. He took great care of Ruger, working with his anxiety and making sure he was fed and comfortable. Kevin’s flexibility, trustworthiness, and reasonable pricing make the whole experience even better. It’s clear that Kevin loves what he does, and that love shines through in how happy Ruger is every time we visit. I highly recommend Kevin for anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to watch their dog. I’ll definitely be bringing Ruger back!”
“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!”
“Thank you all for being so welcoming to Sasha knowing she has separation anxiety and she’s only 13 weeks old. This was super new for my sweet Sasha and me, she seemed to do well once she warmed up to the new place animals and people, thank you for keeping me updated throughout the day, I appreciate all of the updates and photos, I’m so glad she had some small friends to play with while she was there, was very nice to meet you all.”
“Scott was fantastic. Our pups had a great time with Scott and Nico. They were definitely well cared for and they made new friends. We would happily use Scott again when we visit Palm Springs!”
“My dogs love their stay with Desiree!! The one place where they are running with wagging tails towards the front door to get inside and have fun. Safe, clean and just like a 2nd home for our pups!”

About: I want to care for and spoil your dogs just as you would if you could be home. I have been working with pups going on 8 years. I began by walking dogs at a local humane society, then on to becoming a Certified Professional Dog Trainer. I absolutely love dog sitting and I have the skills to administer medications. Currently I facilitate small enriched dog play groups during the day and in the evening I provide private dog training. I am just as comfortable working with giant breeds as I am with the tiniest. While sitting for your pup I can take them for walks, go to a dog park, and go for hikes. I will send you pictures of your pup daily and keep you updated. I also don’t mind you checking in as often as you need to feel comfortable. I know it’s hard to be away from your your four legged friends. I hope to become one of your dogs best friends! I run a doggy adventure day camp that your dog can join in while boarding. I hike daily M-F with all the pups in my care. We frequent the local forest as well as I fenced sniff spots. While in my home you can rest assured knowing that your dog is being spoiled, loved, and supervised. My yard is fenced in which makes potty breaks easy! All dogs are kept in separate areas while eating and dogs are pups are kept separate if I have to go run an errand.

About: Animals are our passion, and we’ve built a life around caring for them. With over 20 years of combined experience caring for animals, we’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra love and attention. We also have extensive experience with reptiles, small animals, and pets with medical needs. Our home is full of love (and fur)! Our oldest dog is 13, and our youngest is nearly 1, so we’re familiar with a wide range of behaviors, energy levels, and care requirements. Melissa previously worked as a vet tech in training, so we’re also fully comfortable administering medications and understanding medical instructions. I’m a U.S. Army veteran, and my military background has helped shape me into someone who’s dependable, organized, and calm under pressure. I bring those qualities into every pet sitting job, aiming to keep your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away. Whether your pet needs early-morning walks, medication, or just someone to stick to their routine—I’m here to help. We’re currently available any time, any day—including holidays and last-minute bookings. Our schedule is 100% flexible, so we can easily accommodate your pet’s unique routine. When caring for pets in your home or on their usual walking routes, safety and trust are always top priorities. We take the time to understand your pet’s environment, routines, and needs—whether it’s a quiet walk through the neighborhood or special instructions for your home while you’re away. We’re respectful of your space and treat your home with care and professionalism. You can count on us to follow your instructions closely, lock up securely, and maintain a clean, safe environment for your pets. During walks, we stick to routes your dog is familiar with (unless instructed otherwise) and always keep them leashed and under control. We’re alert to potential hazards like traffic, other dogs, or wildlife and will adjust as needed to keep your pet safe and calm. Communication is key—we’ll keep you updated and will always reach out if anything seems off or needs attention.
About: Hi! I work as a Paraeducator at a school, so I have summers off and I can’t think of a better way to spend that time than caring for dogs! I’ve always been an animal lover, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup needs playtime, snuggles, walks, or just a calm and caring presence while you’re away, I’m here to help! ☺️ My schedule is pretty open during the Summer besides spending every other weekend with friends and family. Once I go back to work in September, I will only be able to house sit as long as it is in reasonable distance from my workplace. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or favorite toys and treats. I know every pet is different, so I pay attention to their personality and comfort level, whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed. I will also make sure to keep the home clean and secure while you’re away. I’ll give updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is always to treat your home and your pet with the same respect and love I would want for my own.

I am currently home all day and available for walks and love. For walks and home visits Tuesday - Friday I am available on a twice daily basis. Sat, Sun, and Monday I am available any time.

About: Before college, I lived on a farm. I have experience caring for animals of all kinds and an understanding of pet behavior. My love for and background with animals ensure your pet will receive the best care possible. I'm a college student home for summer break and can fit pet care into my schedule flexibly. I'd love to spend my free time going for runs or just hanging out with your pet! I'll follow your animal's routine to ensure they feel comfortable, while offering lots of playtime and attention. My goal is to keep their surroundings stress-free and fun.
About: As an experienced dog sitter, I go beyond basic care by truly understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have a natural ability to read their body language and adapt to their moods, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medications, following specific dietary plans, or providing enriching playtime and walks, I tailor my approach to each dog’s routine. My calm and attentive demeanor helps even the most anxious dogs feel at ease, and I maintain clear communication with pet owners for peace of mind. Having cared for my own senior Pomeranian, Zeus, until he was 14, I am particularly attuned to the special needs of older dogs, including administering medications and adjusting routines for their comfort. I currently have an year and a half year old Yellow Labrador Retriever named cooper, so well experienced with puppies I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or just extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to be there consistently. I love getting outside for walks and making sure dogs stay mentally and physically happy while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, energy levels, and temperaments, including senior dogs and puppies. I always keep a close eye during walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment.

I'm available at all times during the day, I work graveyard at my regular job. For dog boarding, my husband is here at night while I'm at work but I only work two nights a week so it's rare that I'm not here. I would love to spend some time with your pup and will take care of it as if it were my own. I have experience with dogs as little as Pomeranians and as large as Alaskan Malamutes, from brand new puppies to senior dogs. I have owned as many as six dogs as one time.
About: Iv always grown up around animals especially dogs. From a family setting to being just me and my dog in college. I’m a current service member so I have access on JBLM as well. I only have my one pup and getting her a fun friend for a few days is fun for us both. I’m currently off work all summer so I’m usually taking my dog on walks 2+ times a day and just getting out to enjoy the PNW sun. Super careful at first and then loosen up when I learn how they want to play and interact. Some dogs want go play 24/7 and some just like to be a potato. Both are great to me
About: Ive been working with dogs and cats since i was 7 years old. My family,and Neighbors relied on me to walk, feed, watch and play with their pets. I'm currently available during the day until 4 PM during the week so I will have lots of time to play with your adorable pet. During the weekends I am unavailable for personal things I have a fenced yard but i do not have a pet of my own. I am very good at communicating and flexible with what people offer

“People say they love animals, but not everyone truly does! I believe Kimberly truly loves animals. I feel she treated my puppies like they were hers. I am fairly new to leaving my girls with a sitter, Kimberly put my mind at ease. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will have Kimberly watch Thelma and Louise anytime I need a sitter again.”
“Angelia did an amazing job caring for my senior dog. I am so grateful for all the love and care Angela's family gave Winter. Winter looked for her new friends after we got home. She has a good time.”
“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.”
“Kevin took excellent care of our pups! He was very communicative, provided lots of pics and videos, and made sure they were safe and taken care of. It's clear he treated them like his own. We highly recommend him for your dog care!”
“Jerrie is the best!! She is loving and kind. She maintains communication with text messages and photos of the dog while in her care. Our dog, Hazel, loves to be with her and enjoys the atmosphere. We felt at peace while on vacation knowing Jerrie was caring for Hazel as if her own.”
“Our girls had a great stay with Kat. We were a little bit worried about having them stay with someone since they haven't in so long but Kat was really reassuring and they had fun. We got daily video and/or photos of our girls while we were away. That help immensely to reassure us. Our girls loved having social interaction with the other dogs that stayed there. Thank you again. We will definitely use Kat next time.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Toni was a fantastic Rover host! She was great at communicating worth me and very good at providing updates during my dog's stay. Our dog was treated like family during her stay and was obviously happy and relaxed. I will definitely use Toni again in the future.”
“It was wonderful to work with Scott and the sweet pup Nico. Brass had a great time and came home ready for a nap! I won't hesitate to call again when I need to leave Brass with a great family.”
“We booked last minute with Olivia and Tyler, and so glad we did! They took great care of our fur baby, communicated so well, and were very flexible with us for pickup. I definitely recommend!”
“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.”
About: I am new to Rover, but have worked in the Animal Health Industry as a Veterinarian Technician (animal nurse) and outside sales/customer service for the past 30+ years. Along with the background check Rover provides, I also have a Business License and I am Insured/Bonded. Animal care is my only business/job and I am semi-retired. I have experience with most animals from reptiles to cattle and currently have a little 5 acre hobby farm with a horse, goats, chickens, dog and cat. I am very flexible with days you need pet care. My days are filled with animal care of my own/yours, walking/hiking, gardening and home/property projects. Your pets will be treated with great care while spending time with me. I have a gated 5 acre hobby farm with 1/2 acre fully fenced area around my home. My farm animals are fenced in separately for safety. I also have 3 acres of wooded trails/not fenced for leash walking. I am able to provide care and exercise depending on your pets needs and will only accept dogs that are not aggressive towards people or other dogs for a positive/fun experience. I have giant wire crates/bedding for night sleeping and can take up to 3 dogs. I would prefer same family, but may be some overlap with scheduling. Otherwise they will be spending time with me in my home and on my property. There are two large porches for either sunning or shade. I also have air conditioning. Please be up to date on vaccinations (including kennel cough), worming and monthly flea control. I live in a quiet/peaceful valley. Please no excessive barkers and bring their food, treats and special toys. If you have a well trained dog that would be happy sleeping in a dog bed at night, I can be accommodating. Must have been crate trained at some point in their life. Waking up in the am to an intact couch is nice! 😊 Please allow enough time for a 1st time meet and greet prior to finalizing the booking. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family!
“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.”
“John was fabulous and took lovely care of our dog. Pictures and updates were appreciated. He let us know how she was becoming comfortable at his home and she loved the daily walks.”
“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!!”
