“Julie did a great job taking care of Zhuni who, at almost 15, has slowed down considerably. She sleeps a lot and is a seriously picky eater. Juli kept in touch with updates on all of these issues as well as texting cute pictures. I appreciated that she has a securely fenced yard allowing Zhuni to hang out with her pups, and sniff and pee to her hearts content. Juli seems very professional, conscientious, caring and a true animal lover. She was recommended to me by a friend who raves about Juli. I will definitely let her care for my precious pup again.”

“Ethan did such an amazing job taking care of our two dogs! We got daily updates on our long trip and the dogs came home tired and happy from playing! I would definitely recommend him!”

“Kaitlin was super responsive and wonderful to work with. She and her family took great care of Ella and we would happily recommend her to anyone. We will definitely board with Kaitlin in the future.”

“Melody did great job talking care Max . She sanded me pictures and write the notes about the Max and how he loves to cuddle with her and follow her around. Melody is very nice and she loves being taken care of Max . I’m really appreciate her.”

“Fabulous experience! I was super worried about leaving my pup, as he is a bit submissive and can regress pretty quickly. Elizabeth was amazing with him, he quickly decided he liked her and seemed very comfortable in her house. Elizabeth kept me updated, sent me pictures and treated my guy just the way I do (super spoiled). He came home happy, tired and for the first time, I didn’t worry the whole time I was away. I can’t thank her enough, very positive experience!”

“Took fantastic care of Mimi! Mimi can be an anxious dog but she warmed up to Kelly real quick🩷. The frequent updates kept us reassured during our trip that she is in great hands.”

“Our dog Buttercup had a wonderful time with Jennifer and her family. She is knowledgeable about all things dog and made Buttercup feel right at home. She was also responsive and easy to communicate with! We will be leaving Buttercup with her again!”


“We had a fantastic experience with Dina and Irma! They took care of our dog Winston for a week while we were out of the country, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We received daily updates with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Winston looked happy, relaxed, and clearly had a lot of fun. It was obvious he was in good hands. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”

“Priscilla was amazing! Max had a great time with her and Millie. He gets so excited for play dates and to visit when hearing their names. Priscilla was communicative before and during our weekend stay which was great. She was also so supportive of all my questions and preferences to make sure me and Max were comfortable. We're looking forward to future overnights and daycare days!”

“Kristin was beyond amazing. My hubby & I boarded our pit bull Weatherly for a night with her. Our dog is reactive towards other dogs, and a pit bull, so trying to find someone to watch her that doesn't feel uneasy can be a bit hard. We did a meet & greet, and I instantly knew she was the one to take care of our dog Weatherly. Kristin is very personable, within 5min of talking with her she felt like a long time friend. She has great communication, my hubby & I got picture updates. Her & weatherly hit it off from the beginning, and Kristin was super attentive to Weatherly's needs. We love Kristin so much, we actually rebooked. Weatherly will get to hang out with Kristin for 5 days, while my family & I are on a trip. She's our go to person!! Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby!!!”

“Molly was wonderful throughout our pup’s six-day boarding stay. Our 10-year-old pup has several health ailments and Molly was incredibly attentive to her needs and overall well-being. The daily photos and updates kept us completely at ease during our vacation. We highly recommend Molly!”

“Dee Anne is such a sweetheart and we're so grateful for how she takes care of Max! He is so excited to spend time with her with all the quality play time and rest and adventures they have. It's a little vacation for him to stay with Dee Anne when we can't take him out of town with us and it's so meaningful to us that she's so genuinely loving, thoughtful, and kind!”

“Wonderful communication, professionalism, and enthusiasm. She worked with my requests and provided a worry free experience. I really appreciated Sheena's help in sitting our puppy and would definitely use her again!”

“Mollie and fam are just an absolute blessing. Clifford loves them tremendously and feels like home when he is there. Could not have asked for better sitters. 100% recommend and will continue to book.”

“This was our 2nd stay with Jill & Glenn— our pup was SO excited to see them again! It’s so wonderful getting to see them and our boy creating their own little bond. We know that he enjoys his little mini vacations just as much as we do, and it gives us such peace of mind when we’re away. 5 stars everytime!”

“Yessica was so great with Cat Sammy, I will definitely be trusting her with my cat again in the future. She was easy to schedule with and assured me she would not take on any other pets while she watched my cat, which brought me a lot of comfort. It was harder to find a Rover with no other pets involved than I expected. A lot of sitters on Rover take on multiple pets at a time, lock them in separate rooms or crates or have pets of their own. Those circumstances create a stressful environment for both myself and my cat so I prefer a sitter that is able to provide a stable and stress free environment. She sent me daily updates and photos which is not required but was very much appreciated. Sammy was happy and purring in all of the videos and it brought me peace of mind. She even took him outside a little for fresh air which he loves— she went the extra mile. Her communication was great & timely and she easily built trust with me. She returned all of his items clean & in tact. 10/10 recommend Yessica as your Rover!”

“Brent was outstanding. After his initial warm greeting for our dog Murphy, I knew he was in good hands during our week away. Brent kept us updated throughout the trip and was very easy to work with. Brent will be the first person we reach out to for our next trip.”

“Lộc took fantastic care of my dog while I was out of town for the weekend. He sent me multiple photos/videos of my pup throughout the day every day while I was away which made me feel so at ease! I've never left my dog with a stranger before so I was feeling super nervous, but thankfully Lộc is a stranger no longer!! Can't recommend him enough, I will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”

“Yet again Juli was a lifesaver! We had a death in the family resulting in my partner staying out of state with family for a month. Our senior cat gets fluids every other day & I couldn't do it myself. So Juli came over every other day for a month to help our cat get fluids. She is a pro!! Don't know what we would do without her!!”

“Alexa & Connor were wonderful cat sitters for us and we highly recommend them! They took great care of our boys, especially our older cat that needs twice a day medication. They fed them, cleaned up, and spent time giving them attention, and sent detailed notes/photos on each visit which we really appreciated.”


“Highly recommend Carrie if you need a cat sitter! Carrie did check-ins for my senior cat while we were away for 7 days during Thanksgiving week. I was a bit nervous, as I've never had to leave my cat alone for that long before. The meet-and-greet with Carrie alleviated all my worries! She was wonderful with our cat, and gave him so much love, attention, and play time while we were away. Her update reports were always detailed and lovely to read, and she sent tons of great photos with each report. Everything was clean when we returned home (cat box empty/clean, litter swept off the floor). Carrie was always on time for meet-ups, check-ins, key exchanges etc, and is the perfect person to have check-in on your pet! :) I'll definitely be reaching out to her again next time we need someone to check on our cat!”


“Misao is great! She’s taken care of my cat twice. She’s a great communicator and very sweet. Her attention to detail is top notch and I know my sweet boy is in good hands when I’m not there. :)”


“Brooklyn did an awesome job taking care of our two cats. She was really well organized and asked a lot of thorough questions during our meet and greet to make sure that she could give them the best care possible. She showed up on time each day, took care of all the responsibilities quickly and had time to play with them and give them some attention while we were gone. We'll be hiring her again in the future, and I'd highly recommend her to others.”


“Adria was great, super communicative and thoughtful with my cat. She sent lots of picture and updates and took great care of Fern. Will definitely use her again!”


“Everything was wonderful, I appreciated how patient she was with my anxious cats. She respected their space while still trying to be there if they wanted play time. She provided several updates and left our home spotless. Really went above and beyond and we look forward to seeing her again.”


“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with Senua. As well as being an incredibly kind person. She met my little guy where he is at with staying home while I am at work. Was flexible and super kind when we had our meet up. I was impressed with how attentive and caring she was towards my baby. And I deeply appreciated her experience with her own small dog. It made me feel even more secure leaving him with her. Even when he gave her a hard time she was able to stay cool and deal with some ‘pomittude’. I would love to have her work with him again and I know Senua would adore that as well. I highly recommend Sarah’s services. She’s got a great energy and is extremely caring of the dogs she works with.”

“Paul’s communication was great and consistent from before booking all the way through the service. He provided updates and pictures throughout and treated our cats and house with care, even offering to make an additional visit in the event our travel got delayed. Highly recommended!”


“Megan rocks ! She was super cool when she came over to check out the house and the animals. She sent me photos and updates, I will absolutely use her again!!! ✨”

“Holly was outstanding! We have two cats and three birds that needed care while we were out of town, and we are always concerned about people who care for the birds - they tend to nip at people they don’t like, which is pretty much everyone. Holly spent quite a bit of time with everyone at the meet and greet, and all of the critters liked her immediately - from our mercurial birds to our extremely shy cat to our extremely opinionated cat. She was extremely accommodating and flexible, and I can say without a doubt that this is the best care that everyone has had while we were out of town - she spent a lot of quality time interacting and playing with everyone, and they were all in great moods when we came back home. I cannot recommend Holly enough— she is most definitely an animal lover and it shows.”

“As always, a great sitter who took the time to spend quality time with our cats and made sure they were taken care of emotionally as well as physically. Definitely recommended!”

“Brianna was an absolutely amazing cat sitter for our 2 cats! Thank you for being so communicative, reliable, helpful, and kind with our cats. Your photos and updates were so helpful and we hope to work together again – we definitely recommend booking with Brianna!”

“Amber has been amazing with my little dogs Cora and Ruger! Ruger can be loud and Cora is shy and Amber is so good with them. They are happy every day when I get home. Amber is dependable and great with communication. I'm grateful that we have found her and hope she keeps coming for drop in visits!”

“Carly was amazing! She was on time on all visits and made sure my kitty was OK considering she loves to hide. She was so kind, she even swept up the cat litter before I got home from my vacation”


“Haley is a very professional and caring provider. She was extremely thoughtful caring for my cats during the hot days. She went out of her way to place cool treats and made sure they were not dehydrated. That’s a level of care I find highly valuable. Will schedule Haley again.”


“It was the first time that we asked Abbie to take care of our 5 cats while we were camping, and we were so happy that we did! Abbie did wonderful job to great take care of our cats, each has quite personality!! Abbie is sweet, reliable, detail oriented and what we loved the most about her is she really care our babies. Thank you Abbie we definitely ask you for next opportunity!!!”

“Alyssa is great, and it is so nice knowing Kuna is safe and happy. Nice outdoor space, comfy dog friendly house. We always feel confident leaving Kuna with Alyssa when we can’t take her with us.”


“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!”

“Our girl Indy had such a great experience with Kate! Great facility and so attentive! We’ve had Indy at a few of the larger local day care spots and she comes home stressed from being too active all day with no breaks. Kate’s schedule of inside and outside time really balances that out and Indy seems to just love it. Getting photos several times a day is an added plus! We’ll definitely be back.”

“We’ve been taking our puppy to Aliesha for a few weeks now and it’s been absolutely amazing. Our pup has very high anxiety and struggles in big daycares. Once we found Aliesha so much of our own stress has been relieved knowing Bruno is so happy at her place and his overall happiness has greatly increased. She provides enrichment activities, lots of yard playtime and even takes him to the nearby creek! I’m so grateful for her kindness to Bruno and for supporting him so well. HIGHLY recommend her for daycare!”

“We have booked Kelly multiple times, and our once-anxious shih tzus were practically dragging my husband across the lawn to greet her this time. They adore “Auntie Kelly” and they were a little sad to leave Khloe behind at the end of the day. I love the regular updates and photos she sends throughout the day, and she truly cares for my dogs as if they were her own. I (still!) highly recommend her!”
About: Welcome to our dog-loving home! To us, dogs aren’t just pets—they are full-fledged family members who deserve the perfect balance of structured safety and absolute fun.

Our Setup & Environment: Fully Fenced Yard: We have a spacious, secure, fully fenced backyard perfect for zoomies, sunbathing, and supervised playtime. We always have at least one person home to provide care and attention, so your dog will never be alone. We have a 12 year old daughter and 3 year old son and both have grown up with dogs in the home and are familiar with treating them with love and respect. We also have two sweet, social little dogs of our own who love making new friends and are excellent at sharing their space. Because safety is our top priority, we maintain a highly supervised environment to ensure all interactions are positive and stress-free. We strictly adhere to your feeding schedules, medication needs, and behavioral routines so your dog’s transition into our home is completely seamless. Whether it's fetching in the yard, learning a new trick, or curling up for a movie night on the couch, your pup will receive constant attention, love, and care. You can relax on your time away knowing you'll receive regular photo and text updates of all their daily adventures! We can't wait to welcome your pup into our pack! I work as a Human Resources Generalist at Vulcan Metals 5 minutes away from home M-F, I get home about 3:30 everyday. While I'm away in the afternoon, my Husband is home.

Pets have access to all parts of the house and are welcome on the furniture with your permission. Outside time is always supervised to ensure safety.
“Priscilla was lovely. Super friendly, very accommodating and fast communication. Marlo is sometimes shy/uninterested with new people and she was instantly excited to see Priscilla. I felt extremely comfortable leaving her. Will absolutely be back!”

“Mollie and her family took care of my pup like their own. He stayed with them for probably 10+ days total while I was in town for work and I always felt at peace knowing he was well taken care of but also having so much fun! He was always excited when we arrived and sleepy when we came home. Thank you to them!”

“Jessica is absolutely wonderful! I am so thankful to have found her to watch my puppy. From our first meet and greet to picking up, she kept me posted the entire time. Her communication is excellent. I knew my puppy was well taken care of, and as a pet parent, that’s what it’s all about. Without a doubt, I will have Jessica watch my pups again.”

“Matt is great sitter! I was so nervous dropping Sammy off because it was the first time I let someone else watch him. My fears were gone when I saw how happy Sammy was. The next time I dropped Sammy off at Matt’s, Sammy was pulling on his leash trying to run up to Matt’s house. Sammy was so excited about the fun he was going to have. Matt does a great job running Sammy and taking him on walks. As a corgi, Sammy has a ton of energy so I’m glad Matt was able to accommodate that. Would recommend using Matt 100%.”

“Dylan was very responsive and clearly cares for the pups in his care. He watched over our young puppy and shared lots of updates and photos to assure us throughout the day!”

“Kana was very attentive to our dog's needs. She took care of her so well. My dog was excited to come back on the second day because they played with her and provided good activities. We appreciated very much their kindness with us and my energetic puppy.”

“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!”

“Shania has been really, really amazing with Milton and his struggles with PTSD and anxiety. She is patient, compassionate, and incredibly attentive. Shania took the time to build trust and make Milt feel safe. Her care has made a really big difference, and we just can’t recommend her enough.”

“It was nice to be able to rely on Brooklyn for help with my dog and cats. I received a prompt review of the visit along with pictures. Definitely will book again!”

About: We have both taken care of pets since we were young! I (Alexa) have grown up with furry friends my whole life, and I LOVE all animals (though I do have a soft spot for dogs). Connor has grown up with pets his whole life as well. We’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors before, with all kinds of critters. Alexa has experience volunteering at local animal shelters, and has had the pleasure of listening to Lee Asher speak in person. We are also currently the owners of a small dog, a big dog, and a very mischievous cat. We are both very well equipped to care for animals anywhere from a mouse to a horse. Your babies are in wonderful hands with us. I (Alexa) currently work as an EMT, which means I work only 7-8 days per month. That leaves plenty of time to go wherever duty calls! Connor gets his work schedule week by week, but normally has Fridays and Saturdays off. We are willing to house/pet sit for you, walk your animals, and do daily checkups for you as well. In a clients home, we will respect your space and only do what is necessary. You can count on us to make sure your furry friend has all that they need while you are gone, in the safety and security of your own home.
“Met Elizabeth for a meet and greet for more frequent walks while I’m at work. She was super punctual and sweet with my little Koda. She asked a lot of questions to make sure she could provide Koda with the best walk possible. I look forward to working more with her!”

“Megan has been regularly walking my dog, Mack, for a few months now. I was anxious at the beginning to have someone take care of my dog when I wasn’t there (because while I think he’s amazing, he’s also a little quirky lol), but it’s been such a relief working with her. She has such a kind and calming energy, and it’s clear that my pup loves spending time with her! If you’re looking for a dog walker, I can’t recommend Megan enough.”

“Sarah was so great with my high energy dog! I felt very confident in her abilities. I also appreciated her good communication and professionalism. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I have worked with small, exotic, and large breed species for 6 years. I have been dog sitting since high school and really enjoy spending time with all kinds of pets with different personalities. I have experience walking, bathing, and treating animals for awhile and love helping them in any way! I am new to the Tacoma area (relocated from Maryland) and currently have a very open schedule. During the week I am available to assist in anyway such as: walking, feeding and treating pets, giving baths and overall giving them new experiences. I am also available most weekends. Interested in single time visits or regular scheduled pet care! I currently have a house with two dogs and two cats, we have a privacy full fenced back yard. I also have a vehicle and would be happy to travel to dog parks or hiking areas to give them more exercise based on the environments that would be best for each individual pet. I am also happy to work with the pet in their own home or yard if that is where they are most comfortable. I am available any time during the week and most weekends. I am available for routine visits as well or single time visits, whatever is needed! I have a house with a privacy fence and two dogs that are friendly/submissive towards other animals. I am also available to visit with them in their own home if that is where they are most comfortable. I have a vehicle and would be happy to drive to any dog park or hiking area to provide more exercise in whichever environment that is best suited for the individual pet.

“Fabulous experience! I was super worried about leaving my pup, as he is a bit submissive and can regress pretty quickly. Elizabeth was amazing with him, he quickly decided he liked her and seemed very comfortable in her house. Elizabeth kept me updated, sent me pictures and treated my guy just the way I do (super spoiled). He came home happy, tired and for the first time, I didn’t worry the whole time I was away. I can’t thank her enough, very positive experience!”

We're looking forward to future overnights and daycare days!”

“Kristin was beyond amazing. My hubby & I boarded our pit bull Weatherly for a night with her. Our dog is reactive towards other dogs, and a pit bull, so trying to find someone to watch her that doesn't feel uneasy can be a bit hard. We did a meet & greet, and I instantly knew she was the one to take care of our dog Weatherly. Kristin is very personable, within 5min of talking with her she felt like a long time friend. She has great communication, my hubby & I got picture updates. Her & weatherly hit it off from the beginning, and Kristin was super attentive to Weatherly's needs.

“Gisella was amazing at responding to my last minute message to watch my Frenchy Mochi. She did an amazing job updating me throughout my shift his activities and with any questions she had. She also sent lovely photos. I would use Gisella again. 😊”


“She's always going above and beyond. For instance, we forgot some of his things so she packed it up and had it ready for us to retrieve while she was away. Understand, the stay was over, but, still, she navigated the small issue without fail to come up with a solve that made it work for us. It's for these extraneous reasons that won't be visible on a user profile that we'll continue to use her services.”


“Val is absolutely wonderful. She truly enjoys the dogs and has a perfect routine down for them to make sure everyone stays safe! I will continue to bring my girl to Val when I need to be away for a night!”

“Savannah was an excellent dog sitter while I was out of town. They did everything in their power to ensure I felt comfortable and confident leaving Georgia behind in their care. They proactively offered details on their schedule to ensure that my dog received the care I was expecting and went above and beyond to administer my dogs medication by making her homemade pill pockets, which I was particularly delighted by. 10/10, would choose to dog sit again!”

“Dylan was a great communicator and kept us updated with pictures during our pups stay. Nice yard dogs to run around. I’d be happy to leave Eve with him again 🙂”

“Oneeda took great care of our 90lb pup Kenobi. He has some reactivity and she was absolutely wonderful tending to his needs. It’s great having peace of mind when you’re far away from your pets. Thank you Oneeda for keeping Kenobi happy and safe!”


“Kirsten and Nathan went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt right at home while we were away. They kept us updated with great communication and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. So grateful to have found them! Highly recommend.”

“The BEST!!! 🐾 🐕Meredith is an absolute lifesaver! We needed emergency boarding during a stressful life transition, and she provided a safe, nurturing space for our ESA (who had sadly been mistreated in someone else's care). Our sweet dog is sometimes fearful and timid, but Meredith was patient, understanding, and helped show his true gentle nature. Highly recommend! 🐾 🏆”

“Bobbi is amazing and so great with Moku! She was so helpful with making me and my pup feel so comfortable. She gave me peace of mind as I traveled and put up with my dog’s quirks until he felt safe. She can manage probably every dog and make them feel like her home is theirs. Her communication was so quick and it was so nice getting updates everyday on how he was doing. I would definitely rebook if I need to and would recommend her to anyone! My dog isn’t the easiest to take care of mainly because he has separation anxiety from my wife and myself and she still was so gracious with him even after multiple difficult nights of him whimpering and whining. None of this is due to her ability to care for him he’s just very particular. Even still she communicated with kindness of how he was doing and kept me in the loop constantly. I’m grateful she was willing and so very capable of making my dog feel at home. If you are in need of dog care and she is available she is definitely worth trusting your dog with!”
