“Nothing but the best! We appreciate the time and care you gave little Pooter! And she appreciated it, too! She was beat when she got home and slept the night through without getting up for a bathroom call! Good exercise, good company...everything was great! Will Re-book with Ashleigh again and again! Randy C.”
“I am so lucky to have such a great Rover. The attentiveness to my babies even when my little girl is being a brat is such a blessing. I can not recommend Diahann enough.”
“I boarded my nervous little dog with Heather, and I couldn't be happier with the care my pet received. Heather connected with me each day with a report of my dog's state of being. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing my dog was in excellent hands. Thank you, Heather!”
“Kristine was absolutely amazing! She was so caring and professional with my sweet boy, Marlie. She kept me in the loop with regular updates and pictures of Marlie while he was under her care. She even took a last-minute call for boarding because of a family event. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for boarding in Puyallup and the surrounding areas. I was completely satisfied with her service!”

“So grateful for last minute dog care! Val truly made our 15 year old pup feel at home and we have the pictures she shared with us to prove it ?Our dog typically doesn’t eat when kenneling (due to anxiety), so when we arrived to pick him up and noticed the majority of his food eaten we were very impressed. Thank you Val for taking such great care of our furry family member!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Through the photos and videos she regularly sent, I could clearly see how lovingly she and her entire family cared for my dog — it really put my mind at ease. She went above and beyond to make sure my pup was comfortable and happy. Knowing that my dog loves water, she even set up a little pool for her, along with balls to play with. It was so thoughtful and sweet. I will definitely be booking again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, caring, and attentive sitter!”
“Awesome, Justin & Sheena were amazing providers and my dog Snow felt at home. I highly recommend the use of their services, I am definitely a repeat customer and I know Snow look forward to future time with Rocky & Bow!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“Thanks so much for taking good care of Luna while I was out of town! This was the first time I’ve used Rover for boarding, and was a great experience. I also has fight delays and ended up getting back into town late. I really appreciate le the flexibility and kindness in working with me. I also REALLY appreciated the daily updates with photos - gave us a lot of comfort while my kids and I were away from our fur baby 🥰”
“Haylee was very attentive to our dogs needs. This was the first time our boys have been taken care of outside of the family. She is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and we appreciate that. Will definitely use her service again. Thanks Haylee!”
“Brittainy and David were great with my anxious pup Luna, I could tell from the pics and updates that they went out of their way to make her feel at ease and safe during her stay!”
“Sheena and her family took such good care of our two dogs! Our pups wounded their paw pads prior to being dropped off and they took time to keep their feet clean and bandaged throughout their stay. We received pictures and updates everyday which made us feel so good knowing they were doing well. We really appreciate the care that they gave our babies and definitely recommend them!!!”
“Marlena and her family were loving, caring, and communicative during my dogs stay. They sent lots of photos, handled his food aggression with other dogs perfectly, and even helped with training during his stay! He stayed over the holidays so they let him open his presents as well. They truly love and care for animals and have training and experience to do so. I would highly recommend them!”

“Briaunna was a lifesaver for my 5 three month kittens and 2 cats with ringworm. She house sat and fed them 4 times a day, administered medication, sanitized equipment and had to wear protective gear. She even gave them a medicated bath. She is very sweet, responsible, and follows directions really well. Highly recommend and will definitely use her again!”
“Wonderful pet sitter, we were suppose to be gone for a few night and ended up coming home early. He was perfectly fine with that and our cats loved him. He gave us a very detailed description of how the cats were doing as well as what he did. Even added some pictures of them doing their thing. We will for sure be a repeat customer.”

“Drew is wonderful with our Maggie. Followed directions to a T and the communication was A+. We’ve never had anyone come in and take care of our girl but Drew really put at us ease. Sent brilliant pictures and engaged with Maggie. I know next time we leave town Drew will definitely be the person we call. Highly recommend”
About: I would be enjoying cats companionship and friendship. I have taken care of cats for my whole adult life, am experienced with various cat issues due to aging, kidney, thyroid, pancreas disease, etc. I am fairly familiar with learning when they are sick or in pain. A clean cat box is a happy home.
About: I have been caring for cats of any kind since I was a kid. My experience goes beyond just feeding and scooping litter because I truly understand feline behavior and how to make a cat feel safe while their owners are away. My most important experience comes from being a cat owner myself. I have owned my cat for two years now, and sharing a home with my tabby, Bambi, has taught me so much about the daily needs and unique personalities of cats. I have extensive experience with: Medical Care: I am comfortable administering oral medications and following strict health routines for senior cats or those with special needs. Tech & Maintenance: I am experienced with cleaning and maintaining cat water fountains and setting up automatic feeders. While I have not used a Litter-Robot yet, I am a very fast learner with pet tech and always follow instructions to the letter to ensure everything runs smoothly. Mental Enrichment: I love using lick mats, puzzle feeders, and cardboard box forts to keep cats engaged. I also prioritize interactive wand toy play to make sure they get their energy out in a fun way. Reading the Room: I know how to read a cat’s body language to respect their boundaries. Whether they want to snuggle or just watch me from a distance, I make sure they feel at home in their own space. The Little Details: From deep-cleaning bowls to keeping the litter area spotless, I treat your cat’s routine with the same care I give my own tabby, Bambi. I know how much your cats mean to you. I am dedicated to giving them 100% of my attention and making sure they are the star of the show while you are gone.
“Simone was wonderful with my 2 cats! She spent lots of time with them to make sure they had human interaction and even gave one of my cats oral medication with no problem. She even did a few extra tasks that I didn’t request, but greatly appreciate. Would definitely hire her again!”
“Alyssa saved the day! We had accidentally left a gate closed in the house and our cats couldn't access the litterbox upstairs. She lives nearby us and was able to be to our house so quickly and also gave our kitties some loving ❤️ very trustworthy and will absolutely use her again!”
“I have booked Tory previously and I love the continuous support. Super reliable especially for someone like me that has a consistent work schedule with longer hours. Thank you!”
“Brooklyn did an amazing job with the cats. Sent great photos each day and left a message on how they were doing. When we got home from the trip both of the cats seemed at ease and like no time had passed. Would definitely book again.”
About: Since I was 9 I have grown up with bunnies, dogs, and guinea pigs! It was early morning feeds, cleaning cage and the most fun part of it all was playing, cuddling and loving on the animals. When I turned 16 in school for extra credits I volunteered at a animal shelter in Bothell WA and loved every minute of it! Especially one day when a cat would not eat and I decided to go in the cage and just talk to the cat and gentle touches and took some food into my hand and eventually the cat started eating!! From that moment every chance I could I would walk, feed, clean, bath and play with the neighbors dogs, cats even horses!! So as you can tell I have some experience with animals and the love and companion and care as well as patience. I have also trained a few of my friends dogs the basic behaviors as well as my own! I'm not an expert but I do have the ability and patience to help with unwanted behaviors like barking, sitting, laying down, no jump, easy, wait, and I learned it all on you-tube! This is why I am trying a different path in my life and I just wanna show all the care I have for these furry friends and as well as the owners because it all starts with good customer service!! I am reliable understanding of schedules and want to meet everyone's needs to the best of my abilities because in the end its about the care and needs of your furry loved ones!!! Thank you and hope to meet you furrry-soon!!! My schedule is your schedule! If it works than it works if not we will find a solution and make it work!! I am open to any schedule!! If the need is my home, I have a fenced backyard its not a big yard but it is plenty to run and get that energy out. I have 2 dogs and a cat but I can separate if needed I am very alert and will be there always to keep an out out as well as just playing. Its all about communicating and letting me know as well how you would like to see things if the care is at my home! Always open to suggestions! Animals are like kids they have needs and I want to know so I can care for them the best way but of course no one can care for them like their owner!!
“Ashley is so kind, and generous! She helped us out in a pinch with our three cats and took such good care of them! We got daily updates and pictures. She went above and beyond! I can’t thank her enough!”
“Jerilyn has been very reliable and trustworthy. Our dog Mia looks forward to her visits. We can always count on her to show up in time and care our girl. We highly recommend Jerilyn ?”

“Brittainy and David were very kind, communicative, and flexible. I can tell my pup had a great time playing with the other dogs, who are so sweet. Looking forward to our next visit!”
“Val is amazing! My girl can be shy but opens up at Val's with her new doggy pals. She loves staying with her and I always feel at ease when I drop her off. Val has an amazing system for her doggy daycare that works and is always communicative, accommodating, and great with my baby girl! Highly recommend and will be booking again! Thanks, Val!”
“My dog is reactive and needs some socializing as a dominant breed. Khaytlen has been AMAZING with him. Doggy daycare includes adventure time, lots of walks and outdoor play, pets are not just cooped up in a warehouse or a yard all day,… I have a high energy dog, and she is a fantastic fit for him. We will be back for as long as she will continue accepting us :-)”
“Amazing! She cared for my 2 furbabies today. She was very responsive and made sure to update me with pics!! When I showed up my dogs were so happy and now they are home and tuckered out. My pups played with other dogs and had a blast. She provides a large open space for them to play in and keeps constant watch over them. I highly recommend to anyone looking for an awesome doggy day care!”
About: Hello there, helpful Heather here! I am the only child of a 3rd generation Pug breeder. I’ve never lived a day without a Pug by my side - Pugs are my life! That being said, I may be a bit socially awkward on the human end of things, but your dog and I will be fast friends! Guaranteed. While I am happy to help with the occasional sitting need what I am looking for is to be an extension of your furry family. If you're reading this, then it's obvious you're looking for more than just a sitter or walker. You're looking for a nanny to help care for your furry children, and I am the exact fit for that. Our pets do best with familiarity, especially during stressful times such as travel. Though by themselves my services are stellar with familiarity they become unprecedented. This can be especially useful for senior care or for younger dogs who may require consistency for training - Walking on a Leash is a good example. The bottom line: I will love your pet(s) as though they were my own. My proficiency expands far beyond flat-faced breeds, don't worry! I am very familiar with many breeds of dogs: Australian Shepard (which, did you know is an American breed? Fun fact!) Basenji, Chihuahua, Corgi, any type of Doodle, Labrador, Pitties, Poodles (from standard to teacup), Yorkshire Terrier. And so many more!! Where did all this experience come from?! From not only love and a pawsome passion for animals, but from dog training as well. If you have certain goals you'd like to keep in practice, rest assured I’ve got the canine competence to assist you with your consistent training needs while you're away from home. Or, should you have any questions in regards to any undesirable doggy behaviors I'd be happy to assist and educate! I have an attachment for senior and special needs dogs. I must admit that while I adore dogs of all ages, there will always be a special place in my heart for the elderly. If your dog(s) need extra care or medications given to them with specific directions, rest assured I am fully capable and willing of doing whatever your senior or special needs dog(s) may require for their proper care. So, if you're looking for reliable, knowledgeable, and devoted pet assistance, I'm the sitter for you! Well, for your furry friend(s), that is. :) ►►If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask!☺ ♥Thank you♥ Pet sitting and dog walking is my full-time profession. During the week I have a handful of regular clients that occupy my time typically from 10 am to 2 pm. My weekends are mostly free and I am home every evening unless house sitting - in that case, my husband is home every evening from 6 pm to 7:30 am. I am always 30 minutes or less from my home and even during house sitting stays, I am coming home to check in on and provide company to my own two pups. They're never alone for more than four hours. Currently, my family is growing, and my house sits will be on a temporary hiatus as my husband and I adjust to having a tiny human in the house. My home has a moderate size yard that is fully fenced. I also have a doggy door that leads to the backyard for full access when someone is home. As I have cats and small caged critters, I do prefer boarding stays to be crate trained. My own dogs are crate trained and absolutely love their "box." It is their safe space for when life or other dogs becoming too overwhelming. In my experience, I have found that bringing your dog's crate (along with some beds and blankets) helps your dog have their own safe space to relax or retreat to when needed. It also keeps everyone safe while I am out tending to regular walking clients. When house sitting I try my best to keep to your dog's typical routine. Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Crate when leaving, or close bedroom doors. Walks around the neighborhood or play in the backyard. Not allowed on furniture, sleeping in bed with you, etc. Please let me know what your furry friend is accustomed to! Please keep in mind that I will not be able to stay in your home 24/7 as I have regular clients during the week that I need to walk. I will be able to stay in your home through the entire night with regular afternoon potty breaks.
“Christopher was so kind and took great care of my grumpy old man :) he was very responsive, sent daily photos, and gave lots of love! He even gave him a bath and cleaned his eye boogers for him. Thank you so much! We will definitely come back!”
About: Hi there! I’m Alyssa a dedicated and reliable pet sitter with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals! From playful pups and cuddly cats to majestic horses and even farm animals. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I take great pride in providing loving, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, grooming, administering medications, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I work from home two days a week, and on the other three weekdays, I’m in the office for just four hours at a time. That means I’m never away from the house for more than 5 hours – and I always make time for check-ins, walks, or play breaks before and after any outing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer a secure, pet-friendly environment with a fully fenced large yard, perfect for supervised playtime, fresh air, and plenty of tail wags. Whether your pet loves to run, explore, or just relax in the sunshine, they’ll have the space and freedom to feel right at home. They’ll also be in great company! I have three friendly, well-socialized fur babies of my own who love meeting new pals and help create a warm, welcoming pack vibe. Whether your pet is shy or super social, I always take time to make gentle, supervised introductions to ensure everyone feels safe, happy, and respected. With constant supervision, personalized attention, and a calm home setting, your furry family member will be cared for just like one of my own.
About: Hello! I grew up taking care of mostly dogs in my house until finally was able to get my own dog 6 years ago. I've experienced other people who love animals but I feel like I have a connection to dogs that beats out others, I can read a dogs vibe and match it pretty well. Currently take care of 2 mid-large sized dogs and 3 cats. Love it all! Also love taking pictures of dogs so I’ll make sure to get some model shots :) I recently got out of the Navy after 8 yrs and I am currently not working so I have all day to play with pets. I am go with the flow in whatever and whenever your animal needs to eat and go potty and play/train. I am very flexible with doing whatever you need in order to keep your pet safe and under control while still having fun while you're away.
About: Hello! If you choose me to take care of your furry best friend consider them in the best hands! I have grown up with dogs all my life! Different breeds as well from the biggest you can think of to the smallest ankle biter out there. I like to treat all animals as if they were my own. Being a stay at home mom makes that even easier for me. Your pet will have 24/7 attention and have fun walks throughout the day! Being a stay at home mom my schedule is pretty open! We like to start our day bright and early, and having a dog myself we always enjoy a long walk in the morning. I like to walk the dogs at least minimum 3 times a day if your dogs need more or less I can adjust! After play time we love to cuddle up on the couch and rest their little paws All pets will be leashes prior to going on walks in addition my son is also kept away from the dogs especially while they’re eating since I have a dog of my own we have made sure to make sure he knows to be gentle with them and give them space
“Ellie *loves* going to see Timothy! She gets super excited and happy as soon as she gets close to the house. She gets along so well with the boys (his dogs), and comes home happy and exhausted! I recommend Timothy wholeheartedly. Exceptional sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of fur babies since I was the age of 14! I’ve had to watch friends, neighbors and family’s fur babies while they were gone. I love animals and it’s great to meet and connect with all of them. It makes my heart so happy that they all relied on me to take care of their fur babies just like my own. Special experience: I’ve had to deal with one of our family dog with diabetes and having to regulate that with special foods, exercise, and medication. Also has experience with giving pills; crushed, whole with food, specialty diet, pill pockets, etc. I’m currently working full time as a CNA. I’m graduating at Pierce college and trying to save money for Nursing school that’s coming up around the corner that is here soon enough!! I have plenty of time on my hands so I hope I can fulfill my time bonding with your fur babies! I do work at the hospital as a CNA as I stated previously as a 3pm-11:30pm shift. Other than that, I will be with your fur baby at all times being able to provide potty breaks and plenty time for loves. I will only be able to be pet sitting at your home due to living with my parents and having fur babies of our own!
About: I have been taking care of dogs almost every week on the weekends along with sitting for my neighborhood dogs, cats, birds and guinea pigs while they are on vacation or away from their home. I am comfortable feeding dogs, interacting with them and I love to give lots of love. I am familiar with giving medication’s to dogs if needed. Your animal will be in good hands as I will love them as my own. Whatever an owner needs for them and their dogs to be well cared for, I can accommodate. I work from home, so the dog will always be accompanied with me. we’ll have plenty of playtime, outside time and potty breaks. I provide at least 2 walks a day and several Potty breaks from 7 am up until 10 Pm. I have a fenced yard where they can play as they like and they can hang out inside as well. I am very interactive with the dogs and love to send pictures.
“Kristina was amazing with Nalo. We set up a meet and greet last week and she interacted with Nalo, gave him treats, and was even training him in that short time. He had his first day of doggie daycare yesterday and Kristina sent me video and pictures of Nalo throughout the day. Nalo is only 5 months but we are leaving for 3 days in a few weeks and were looking for someone we can trust to watch Nalo for 3 days. Nalo made friends, went on walks, and was pooped by the time he came home 😂 Thanks Kristina! So glad we found you!”
“Ethan and his dog Nico took great care of Yonder! I received updates and very good photos all day while he was in Ethan’s care. Yonder came back absolutely exhausted from playing in the yard. Thanks Ethan!”
About: I have been taking care of animals in my life for over 10 years now. I have grown up with dogs and cats as well as pet rats, guinea pigs, snakes, even spiders. I have worked at a shelter for 3 years and had to be a safety oriented person by always making sure all the animals I watched over got all the care they needed. I am CPR and first aid certified for dogs and cats and have experience giving animals medicine! I have a flexible work from home schedule so I am able to always have time for the pets I watch and provide multiple bathroom breaks and walks, and I always be there to give them love and affection! I work from home so I am able to go out for walks every 0-1 hours if needed. Dogs and cats are able to be on all the furniture and explore wherever they want. I live in an apartment and we have a huge walking area and grass field as well as a fenced dog park near me! I always make sure safety is a priority as I am a very responsible individual and always make sure your pets well being is number one!
About: I had 2 dogs of my own. One for 16 years & a rescue for 14., both which I had to put down due to old age. I have been fostering for about 2 years now. For Tacoma Humane Society & Wet Noses Dry Paws. My first foster was a momma dog & 5 puppies. What a task but I loved them so much. It gives me such joy to see them get adopted and go into a loving home. I am retired & am flexible with my time. I don’t go a lot of places. I really need to fill my loneliness from losing my dogs. Even though it has been a while since they passed. My roommate just recently moved out and she had two dogs that kept me company. So my house feels really empty. I have a 3 foot fenced yard. I would take your dog on walks and I do try to engage them with doggy toys. I will give them so much love. Also, I am trustworthy to dog sit at your residence if desired.

“Briaunna is great! She came out before the scheduled walk to do a meet and greet with my dog and she really cares about meeting you and your dogs needs. Briaunna updated me on when she picked my dog up and dropped off, as well as sending photos and leaving a note on Koko's behavior/walk. If you want your dog to be well taken care of, you should book Briaunna!”
About: I’ve grown up having dogs around me at all times. I currently have 3 of my own fur babies, and while they’re definitely a handful (or pawful), I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love playing, walking, and just spending time with pets and I can’t wait to be able to treat your animals like my own! During my services, I always make sure to include at least three pictures of your pets when I stop by, I know how long a day can feel without seeing your animals. My main goal is to make sure you and your pet(s) are satisfied with the services I provide because I know just how important our furry friends are to all of us and our families! I also have experience with bird, rodent, small reptile and amphibian care! I’m happy to watch any and all types of our animal family members while you’re away ! I have been in love working with animals since my first Girl Scout visit to an animal shelter in 3rd grade. I currently have five rescues of my own (two dogs, two cats, and a beardie) and I would to meet and help provide care for your fur babies as well! I make sure to provide the same quality of care to your pet as you would. They are our extra, furry family members and deserve to be treated as such, especially when they are excited and waiting to see their people!
About: Hi I'm Alexis and I’ve been a pet sitter for friends and family off and on for the last six years. That means I’ve spent over half a decade figuring out exactly who really runs the house (spoiler: it’s usually the cat). I have spent that time mastering the art of the perfect walk and the "do-not-disturb-me" nap. Neighbors and family have always relied on me because they know I don't just "check in," I actually show up and spend quality time with their pets. My real-world training comes from my own crew. Back home in Washington, I have Me-low, a sweet Golden Retriever I personally trained, and LuLu, a spunky Maltipoo. While I’m at college in Arizona, I share a home with our adopted gray tabby, Bambi. Having a mixed household of my own means I am a pro at balancing high dog energy with clear cat boundaries. What 6 Years of Experience Looks Like: Safety & Security: Whether it is a "Smooth Operator" cat or a dog that is "Born to Run," safety is my #1 priority. I have handled walks in busy areas and know how to keep pets calm around distractions. I am comfortable with all sizes, including 90lb breeds that think they are lap dogs. Cat Confidence: Thanks to Bambi, I am "fluent in cat." I know when they want to play with a feather toy and when they just want to be left alone to judge me from a distance. I respect their space while making sure they are happy and cared for. Specialized Care: I am comfortable following strict feeding schedules and administering oral medications. Whether it is a puppy in training like Me-low was or a senior pet who needs extra patience, I make sure they stay healthy and never skip a beat. Open Communication: I am big on keeping you in the loop. You will get regular photo updates and check-ins so you can see exactly how much fun your babies are having. I know the stress of being away, and I want you to feel at ease from wherever you are. My Promise to You I know how heavy it feels to leave your babies behind. To me, your pet isn't just a "booking"; they are the star of the show. Whether it’s high-energy walks or quiet "golden hour" naps, I promise that for every tail wag they give and every purr they make... I’ll be watching them. I am currently home from college and my schedule is wide open till mid-July. I am available Monday through Sunday for full-time care, walks, and check-ins. Because I am not juggling classes right now, your pets are my main priority. Please note: I will be heading back to Arizona for the upcoming semester between August 13th-22nd, so I am looking for bookings that take place before that move. Until then, I have total flexibility to stick to your specific routine and provide plenty of companionship for your "babies." I provide care exclusively in the client's home, as I do not offer boarding in my own home at this time. This allows your pets to stay in their own comfortable, familiar environment while you are away. When I am in your home, I treat it with the same respect I give my own. I prioritize a "safety-first" environment by doing a quick sweep for anything your pet shouldn't get into and making sure all doors and gates are secure. I am very diligent about leashes and harnesses during walks to prevent any accidents. I believe trust is built through communication. You can expect regular photo updates so you know your pets are safe, happy, and following their normal rhythm. Whether it is keeping a cat's litter area pristine or ensuring a dog gets their exact training commands, I am dedicated to maintaining your home exactly how you like it. If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to ask!
“Mollay kept me up to date on when she would arrive at my house and when she left. She got great pictures of my boy and followed my instructions perfectly! She's the first one I go to for any last minute walks I need.”
“We are so happy we found Evelyn! She was always on time and communicative, and gave Denver lots of TLC while we are at work. We loved getting cute photos and updates. So grateful having her to take care of our furbaby!”

“Courtney was a pleasure to meet. My dog took to her right away. She was not only on time, but a bit early so we could briefly discuss. Courtney has great communication before and after the walk and sent a few photos on his walk. Highly recommend!”
About: Growing up, I’ve always had pets, and my first childhood pet was a cat named Blackie. Later, we added another cat, Oreo, to the family. Around the same time, we welcomed Tank, our German Shepherd/Shar-Pei mix, who became my loyal companion from elementary school through high school. I took care of Tank every day, and he was so sweet and gentle that he even helped people overcome their fear of dogs. When Blackie and Oreo passed, we brought two more cats, Dickie and Roxy, into our family. Over time, Dickie disappeared, and I got another cat, Marley, who had a litter of kittens. We kept one and named her Gracie. Shortly after having her kittens, Marley passed away. Later, I got another cat, Buddy, who eventually ran away. Now, as an adult, I’ve continued my love for pets with my two current cats, Dayz May and Willow, who I care for alongside my boyfriend, a fellow animal lover (especially when it comes to cats). Though my journey with cats has been lifelong, I’ve always had a deep love for dogs. Tank will always hold a special place in my heart, and I jump at any chance to care for dogs, like my aunt’s and mom’s pets. I still get as excited as a child spotting a pony whenever I see a dog, eager to pet, play with, and spoil them. I ensure they’re well-fed, entertained, and happy—because I believe every dog deserves a joyful life. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and dogs especially seem to bond with me quickly. I can’t wait for the opportunity to meet and care for your beloved pet! Currently OPEN to just about anything! I DoorDash on the side so I basically have my own schedule. Tuesdays I watch my little sister(6) after school for a few hours(4-9) but can be flexible. **Our Place:** We have two cats in our small home, so we prefer to care for your pets in their own environment, where they feel safest. **Yours:** When I (Parkre) arrive, I first assess the situation by checking for any accidents, reviewing any notes left, ensuring water is filled, and confirming if food is needed. After this quick check, I take the dogs for a walk to handle potty breaks and playtime. The rest of the day is tailored to your pets' schedules. When my time is up, I always leave the space cleaner than before and your pets happier than ever. Your home is your sanctuary, and I'm here to help keep it that way.
About: I am a military spouse who’s been around dogs of many different breeds all of my life, and currently have 1 puppy. I love long walks, understand dog’s body language, and know that trust goes a long way with our fur babies. I am understanding of how fast schedules can change and can be very flexible. I also love puppy photography so be ready to have an influx of cute pictures of your fur baby ! I’d love the opportunity to meet your dogs and become walking buddies :) I am an online college student who breaks up my weekdays with walks ! I am an active person and try to get my 10,000 steps every day. I am available for breakfast, lunch, and dinners for your fur babies including walks/potty breaks before or after. I have a large fenced in yard and 1 puppy in my home. I am flexible with different types of trainings, do multiple training sessions throughout the day, and offer separate mental stimulation every day. I crate trained my puppy and am willing to help train your fur baby as well.
About: Hi there! I’m Alyssa a dedicated and reliable pet sitter with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals! From playful pups and cuddly cats to majestic horses and even farm animals. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I take great pride in providing loving, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, grooming, administering medications, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I work from home two days a week, and on the other three weekdays, I’m in the office for just four hours at a time. That means I’m never away from the house for more than 5 hours – and I always make time for check-ins, walks, or play breaks before and after any outing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer a secure, pet-friendly environment with a fully fenced large yard, perfect for supervised playtime, fresh air, and plenty of tail wags. Whether your pet loves to run, explore, or just relax in the sunshine, they’ll have the space and freedom to feel right at home. They’ll also be in great company! I have three friendly, well-socialized fur babies of my own who love meeting new pals and help create a warm, welcoming pack vibe. Whether your pet is shy or super social, I always take time to make gentle, supervised introductions to ensure everyone feels safe, happy, and respected. With constant supervision, personalized attention, and a calm home setting, your furry family member will be cared for just like one of my own.
“Even though Simone comes everyday, she always takes A LOT of photos which I greatly appreciate because I get to enjoy knowing my pup’s in good hands and he looks happy on his daily adventures. It’s so fun looking at his daily album of adventures while I’m away. I know Simone treats my pup just like her own and always shares his wins, I can’t highly recommend her enough!”
About: I love spending time with dogs of all kinds. My family dog passed away of old age (13 years) last year so I love the thought of spending time with other people’s dogs and giving them love when their families can’t be there. I currently have a golden doodle named Loki (2 years old) who lives with my friend and have taught him to sit, shake, lay down, and whisper bark! I am currently a graduate student studying speech language pathology at the University of Washington. All funds that I make through Rover go towards paying my tuition. I can dog sit anytime that is available on my calendar :) I make sure to provide lots of pictures and updates for the parents. In case anything is out of the ordinary, I always make sure to have vet information before the families leave.

“Brittainy went above and beyond and I wanted to tip more but rover cut me off at 30%. Cannot say enough good things about letting Brittainy take care of your fur babies!!!”
About: I've worked at kennels before, I have a special needs dog, I get along with all dogs, I've taught my dogs to sit and stay in sign language. I can feed, walk, play with, and medicate dogs. I even used to sleep with my Pixie because she has epilepsy and I could wake up and medicate her during her seizures. I would walk my dogs every day with a backpack full of treats, doggy bags, and water. I took ASL for 2 years in high school, so I can communicate with deaf customers and deaf doggies. I'm a bit out of practice, but I can definitely get by in a conversation. I love all furry and four legged creatures and I hope to be walking yours! I'm currently mom to 3 cats (and one gecko). I've been a cat owner since childhood and have had dogs in the past as well as experience working in kennels. Pet care is my life. I love my furry kids and I'd love to work with yours. I'm very available and flexible for your pets needs. I'm widely available right now and would love to fill my spare time with caring for pets, whether it is walks, drop ins, or an overnight. I should be able to adapt to most requests and understand life can get weird, so I accept same day bookings or same day cancellations at least for walks and drop ins, should also be fine for overnights. I don't think I've met a fur baby I can't make friends with and every booking or request from a friend has been an absolute joy. I promise they'll be well loved in my care.
About: I have had dogs all my life. After I moved out I raised a chocolate lab from 8 weeks old until he passed at 16 yrs. During that time frame I was also raising my Weimaraner at the same time! Both were high energy dogs (and Kaiser, my weim, still is). This has given me experience large breed, high energy dogs. I also have experience with elderly dogs. I am also no stranger to small dogs as I have also cared for my friends pomeranian. I am able to do drop ins before work, during lunch (depending on distanc), and after work. I am able to stay the night if necessary. My pets have full access to the house and are always well fed, cared for, and loved whether its play time or just hanging out watching TV.
About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet lover who worked at a pet store for a year and has spent years dog sitting and walking for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like my own. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine since I currently pet sit full time. I plan my days around each pet’s schedule, including walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, ensuring they get consistent attention and care. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and routine. For house sitting, I keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get exercise or bathroom breaks, and feel cared for while you’re away. During dog walks, I focus on safe, engaging walks that match your dog’s energy level. I always prioritize safety, communication, and making pets feel relaxed and happy.

“I boarded my nervous little dog with Heather, and I couldn't be happier with the care my pet received. Heather connected with me each day with a report of my dog's state of being. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing my dog was in excellent hands. Thank you, Heather!”
“Kristine was absolutely amazing! She was so caring and professional with my sweet boy, Marlie. She kept me in the loop with regular updates and pictures of Marlie while he was under her care. She even took a last-minute call for boarding because of a family event. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for boarding in Puyallup and the surrounding areas. I was completely satisfied with her service!”

“So grateful for last minute dog care! Val truly made our 15 year old pup feel at home and we have the pictures she shared with us to prove it ?Our dog typically doesn’t eat when kenneling (due to anxiety), so when we arrived to pick him up and noticed the majority of his food eaten we were very impressed. Thank you Val for taking such great care of our furry family member!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Through the photos and videos she regularly sent, I could clearly see how lovingly she and her entire family cared for my dog — it really put my mind at ease. She went above and beyond to make sure my pup was comfortable and happy. Knowing that my dog loves water, she even set up a little pool for her, along with balls to play with. It was so thoughtful and sweet. I will definitely be booking again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, caring, and attentive sitter!”

“Sheena and her family took such good care of our two dogs! Our pups wounded their paw pads prior to being dropped off and they took time to keep their feet clean and bandaged throughout their stay. We received pictures and updates everyday which made us feel so good knowing they were doing well. We really appreciate the care that they gave our babies and definitely recommend them!!!”
“Marlena and her family were loving, caring, and communicative during my dogs stay. They sent lots of photos, handled his food aggression with other dogs perfectly, and even helped with training during his stay! He stayed over the holidays so they let him open his presents as well. They truly love and care for animals and have training and experience to do so. I would highly recommend them!”

Always communicative and lots of photos. Wonderful family!! Obviously, I highly recommend them for your dog sitting needs. They are very reliable and welcoming. I don’t want to share them, to be honest haha”

“We have left our two dogs with Timothy twice during long family vacations, and we can’t recommend him enough. Timothy welcomes our pups into his own family and even sends us updates and photos which help when we are missing our boys.”
“Kristina is amazing! I got pictures and or video daily of Cali. She had so much fun. This was our first time away from Cali, she became part of our family in March. We traveled home for 2 weeks and weren’t able to bring her. I was nervous and anxious before leaving her but as soon as we had a meet and greet I knew Kristina was the right fit for Cali. I knew she was in a loving and safe home. Kristina even bathed her for us before we picked her up! She then sent Cali home with a bag of her favorite snacks and a card for us. We will definitely be using Kristina again and highly recommend her!!!”
