“Diahann and her family have watched my dog for the umpteenth time, and I would have it no other way. They love and pamper my little guy so much that when we go to drop him off he hops on out and doesn’t look back! She sends regular updates, which gives us peace of mind as we travel. Thank you so much, Diahann!”
“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!!!”
“Leslie is fantastic!!! We felt so good about leaving our baby with her. Basil has some separation anxiety (so do I) and she was great with both of us and sent photos every day and some videos of her playing. It made it so we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about her. We will definitely use her on the future and highly recommend her!!!”
“We feel so relaxed leaving Gus with Nikkole, knowing he will have tons of fun and tons of snuggles. It’s so convenient that she does drop off and pick up as well.”
“Oh my Goodness Anna and her husband are fantastic! She takes such good care of your babies and is in constant contact. Anna truly strives to make you feel comfortable by taking notes on special feeding instructions and care. Her yard is beautifully fenced in and spacious for pups and best of all she is loving and playful with your fur children when you cannot be there. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Roger took good care of our dog while we were on vacation for one week. He sent pictures of our pet on a daily basis without us requesting him to send any. We are very happy (and lucky) to have found Roger. We'll be using Roger's service in the future for sure. =)”
“Noelle is absolutely fantastic! My dog daughter loves spending time with her and her dogs. Blaze comes back so happy and so cute with the services I have gotten for her. Thank you so much!”
“A great first experience with rover. Kristine was awesome and sent pictures. Very clean environment and I know they got lots of snuggles. I would definitely recommend!!”
“Ashleigh was great with our dog Jackson. We did the meet and greet the weekend before and she made us feel very comfortable leaving him with her and her three dogs. Ashleigh sent us regular updates and Jackson was having a great time, he was happy and healthy and everything was ready when we came to pick up. We will definitely try to use Ashleigh again.”
“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!”
“Total peace of mind while away! We were instantly relieved when our highly energetic pup immediately took to Keri and Kerry's family, yard and Beau :) This lovely family puts you at ease with their calm demeanor and years of knowledge and experience with dogs (including active puppies). They are exceptionally intuitive with new and old dogs. Our pup was so well exercised, daily, that it allayed our usual concerns of him getting into mischief. Keri and Kerry were always quick to respond and kept us informed daily. Communication was clear and easy. He was so well cared for that we were genuinely and regularly blown away when we received the pics of him laying contentedly, relaxing and getting pets and love from this wonderful family! Their love and ability to quickly identify and address your dog's needs will bring you the peace of mind needed to enjoy your time away. We will book with them from now on! Thank you Keri and Kerry!”
“I can tell my dog loves his staycations at Mariko’s house. She takes him to the dog park nearly every day and gives plenty of attention. She goes the extra mile. For example, she provided stairs to help my senior dog in and out of the car. She’s also really good about sending daily check-ins (photos, videos, etc.) It is a bit of a drive to drop off and pick up for us, but it’s totally worth it. She is our go-to dog sitter.”
“This is our first time using Laurin as our dog sitter. She was very helpful accomodating our last minute booking because our dog sitter has canceled on us. Our dog was super happy, stayed active and feel loved by her and her wonderful family! Thank you so much! Totally recommend her 👌 ❤️”
“My dog received the best care while I was away. Ren and his family welcomed my dog into their home like one of their own. I received daily updates, photos, and video of my pet enjoying his stay. Ren is very easy going and communicative. It was great to have the peace of mind knowing that my dog was not only being well cared for but also enjoying his stay.”
“Boarding with Kirsten was the perfect fit for Tucker! Pics she sent show him happy and smiling, and she's so loving with her fur babies! I want to schedule another time with her 7/17 to 7/20/25!”
“My dog had such a wonderful time with Erika! My dog is a senior dog, but she did so well during the whole week and had no issues at all. Erika updated every day with photos and videos. I could tell my dog was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. I am so grateful and would definitely trust her again. Highly recommend!”

“Taylor is a wonderful and dedicated sitter. She kept us informed each day on how our two kitties, Bella and Rudy, we doing. Sent us photos and videos which we truly appreciated. We highly recommend Taylor.”
“Jazmyne was wonderful! We booked very last minute after realizing we needed help for our long vacation and she was very accommodating and helpful with that. Her check ins with pictures were reassuring while we were away and she did such a great job taking care of our cats. It was also our first time using Rover and she helped with the app and made the experience great. We highly recommend and intend to rebook for our next trip!”
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I grew up with two family dogs for 18 years, and caring for pets has just always come naturally to me. I also foster dogs, cats, and small critters, so I have experience with pets of all personalities, ages, and needs Pet care fits so naturally into my day because I genuinely love having animals around me. My schedule is super flexible. I’m in part-time school and work part-time so I have plenty of time. When pets are in my home, they’re treated like part of the family. I keep a close eye on them at all times making sure they’re safely leashed outside, supervised during playtime, and always comfortable. I follow whatever routines they’re used to, like feeding schedules, crate time, or potty breaks, so they feel calm and at home. There’s always lots of love, attention, and gentle structure to keep them happy and safe. When I’m caring for pets in someone else’s home, respect is everything to me. I treat your space the same way I’d want mine treated clean, careful, and mindful of your rules. Whether I’m staying overnight or just stopping by for a walk, I make sure your pet gets all the care they need while also keeping your home tidy, secure, and exactly how you left it. I’m very routine friendly, so I happily follow your pet’s normal schedule, house rules, and comfort needs.
“Chelsea is amazing and took wonderful care of my two kitties. They are very different cats with unique needs and she was very patient and loving towards them, as well as detail oriented. I can’t emphasize how much I appreciate her approach and care with my cats.”
“Our dogs were super happy being tended to by Brianna. She’s very reliable and communicated with us on every visit which we appreciate so much. We loved getting pictures and updates. We would highly recommend her to care for your fur baby.”

I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting/boarding and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, comfort level, and body language so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Beth is an absolute delight. She dropped in on our kitty while we were away for a long weekend. She was prompt, easy to communicate with and very diligent. She even watered our outdoor flowers for us. If you are in need of a true pro and expert animal lover be sure to ask for Beth!”

About: My first pet was a cat, and I’ve had a love for cats for as long as I can remember. I’ve owned and cared for several cats over the years and understand that each one has their own unique personality, routines, and comfort level. In addition to caring for my own cats, I’ve also completed several cat-sitting jobs for friends, family, and clients, including feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, administering basic care, and providing companionship. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, and I strive to create a safe, stress-free environment where cats feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I’ve had the opportunity to cat sit many times, I have been doing thing since I was much younger. We have fostered/cat sat many kittens, cats with meds, pregnant cats, disabled, outdoor, indoor. Many varieties and older cats, just about everything! I’ve spent a lot of time with them.
About: I have three cats that I have owned for about 4-5 years. I have experience with difficult cats as my oldest cat Mu used to hate dogs as well as any new animals introduced to the home (temporary or not). Within two years, he was able to get along with each pet due to careful control of pet access throughout the home as well as slow sessions of exposure to one another. I have 4 litter boxes in my home and a few extras just in case. I have many cat scratchers across my home set up so they can do their zoomies from one side of the home to another. Finally, I have taught my cats a few commands via whistling and pointing and have a passion for teaching animals simple games.
“Lauren was absolutely WONDERFUL. She showed up on time and was very respectful of our property. Not only did she send photos and follow all the instructions that I left, but she also got our shy kitty Chester to warm up to her for some love! Both our cats were covid kittens, so they did not get human socialization for a few years aside from my husband and myself. Chester would always hide when we started having guests over again but he absolutely loved her :) could not recommend Lauren any higher.”
“Samantha was great! On the last day of our trip our rascal pups got all muddy in the yard and she helped clean them up and make sure our home wasnt too dirty when we got back. We didnt ask, she was just helpful and thoughtful without a word or hesitation. Awesome!”
“Brandie did such a good job caring for my kitten while I had to go out of town two weekends in a row. She sent me a lot of photos throughout and really put me at ease. Great communication and easy to work with.”

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs, and am familiar with many other kinds of animals. I have sat for non-family/friends and well as them included many times before! I have managed taking care of 5+ pets at once, given proper meds, care, playtime, etc. This experience ranges from kittens/puppies just a few days old, to older aged animals. I work “full time” but I work around 30 hours and I have a lot of split shifts so time before or after to check-in with the pets. This looks like morning feed, going outside, if any meds or vitamins need to be taken or same with after depending on the time of day needed. Depending on circumstances of boundaries and rules of each pet, I easily find a solution and adapt if needed. I will watch your dog/cat outside or on a leash front or back of yard. If there are off-limit areas inside our outside those will be closed doors or if there’s a gate it will be put up per clients request. If there needs to be check-ins with owner that be applicable, I am attentive to my phone, when and if necessary.
About: Hi! I’m Jen — a lifelong animal lover with over 4 years of hands-on experience working at an animal shelter, plus many additional months caring for dogs and other animals on a small farm property. If there’s one thing I truly understand, it’s dogs. Especially the shy, anxious, and misunderstood ones. They hold a very special place in my heart! There is no greater feeling than earning the trust of a dog who needs a little extra patience and understanding. At the shelter I worked with every type of dog imaginable, from easygoing family pups to dogs with more complex needs due to past trauma. I was trusted to walk and handle even the more anxious or sensitive dogs, helping them build confidence and learn to trust new people. I’m very comfortable reading dog body language and adjusting my approach so each dog feels safe, respected, and understood. One of the dogs I worked closely with, Donald, needed a trusted handler present while new volunteers learned how to walk him safely, and I helped train others so he could get the exercise and enrichment he deserved. I also helped start enrichment initiatives at the shelter, including treat puzzles, mental stimulation games, and a “dog play buddy” program to give the dogs additional socialization and activity. One of my most special experiences there was helping care for a mama dog who gave birth to a litter of 10 (10!) puppies. I helped care for and socialize those puppies as they grew until they were ready for their forever homes. I also have experience caring for senior animals and understand that older pets often need a little extra patience, gentleness, and attention to their comfort and routine. Beyond dogs, I also have experience caring for cats and bunnies. Over the past few months I’ve helped care for my landlady’s 1yo kitty, and I’m very comfortable providing drop-in care and pet sitting for cats and small animals as well. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting/boarding and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, comfort level, and body language so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: every animal I care for should feel safe, so very loved, and understood. Pet care is my primary focus, so my daily routine is built around providing consistent, hands-on care. I structure my day to include regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, exercise, enrichment, and downtime, depending on each pet’s needs. I’m home for the majority of the day, which allows me to provide a high level of supervision and attention. Pets are rarely left alone for extended periods, and I’m able to adjust my schedule to support different energy levels, routines, and personalities. Whether a dog needs more activity and engagement or a calm, low-stress environment, I’m able to tailor my day to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I care for every pet based on who they are — not just a one-size-fits-all routine. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and comfort cues so pets feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for. In my home, dogs stay on a fully fenced 10-acre farm property where they can safely explore, play, and decompress. All outdoor time is supervised, and I’m intentional about creating a balanced environment — active play for dogs who love it, and plenty of quiet downtime for those who don’t. I have a friendly Mini Goldendoodle and a very mellow senior pup in the home, and I take introductions slowly and thoughtfully. I’m always prepared to separate or crate dogs if needed to keep everyone comfortable and safe. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to your routines and preferences so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I keep things calm, consistent, and predictable, which is especially important for anxious or sensitive animals. I’m very comfortable with a wide range of personalities, including dogs who need a little extra patience or structure, and I pride myself on creating an environment where pets can relax and just be themselves.
“Shyanne, agreed to walk Aithusa the night before after another walker canceled due to illness. She sent pictures and route of thier walk and communicated when needing to adjust the time of one of his walks. Aithusa was happy when I returned home from work. I think thier walks helped him not miss his mom, who's away.”
About: I have had dogs growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I love being with them! I am willing to go behind your expectations and work hard. I can’t wait to get to meet your pups! I’m currently part time and have a lot of my days free. I will be starting college soon but I will still be available Monday-Sunday! Safety is my biggest priority I will take care of your doggy as of it is my very own. I live in a great neighborhood/ community we have sidewalks all over and I have a fenced backyard.
About: Hi, I’m Leyna! I provide personalized, in-home boarding and pet care in a calm, dog-friendly home in Puyallup. I work remotely full time, which means your pup gets plenty of supervision, attention, cuddles, potty breaks, and play throughout the day. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, with a special soft spot for small dogs, seniors, anxious pups, and dogs with medical or mobility needs. I’m comfortable administering medications and have hands-on experience with post-operative care, IVDD/spinal conditions, orthopedic concerns, and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and support. My home is designed to be safe and low stress. We have a large fully fenced private yard, ramps for preventative safety, play pens and gates if needed, and a relaxed indoor environment for lounging, naps, and low-key play. I’m cage free unless owners prefer otherwise. I’m Pet CPR certified and take safety seriously. All dogs must be fully vaccinated, including Bordetella, and current on flea prevention for the safety of every dog in my care. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and routine so I can make their stay feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. I also send frequent photo and video updates throughout the day so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I’d love to set up a meet and greet and learn more about your pup! I work remotely, so my routine is very flexible which allows me to accommodate your pet’s routine. I will always be around to make sure your pup gets all the love and attention they need! I have a beautiful, private, secure yard with an 8-foot wood fence in a quiet neighborhood! My house is completely dog friendly and pet safe and remodeled to accommodate indoor play and relaxing. I’m cage free, but if you prefer your pet be crated, I have no problem accommodating any requests.
About: Available for last minute/odd schedule requests. Everything sets me apart from others because I've learned over all my yrs experience that when trust is shown trust is given. Then everything else falls into place. ***Available for last minute/odd schedule requests.*** Animals are my escape I enjoy all of them! Life would be boring without them. They bring so much happiness to me!!!l Life is just better with them in it to enjoy with us. Remember ***(Available for last minute/odd schedule requests.)*** Fur babies run the roost! I usually take them out every half hour just for exercise or fun as well as potty breaks (which is a good way to break bad marking habits for ones training). If it's a nice day usually we are outside all day playing and walking teaching the ones who are still in need of guided assistance. Which actually makes things way easier on me. Unless of course it's just to hot to be out side. Rainy days are our lazy days or indoor activity days. Lots of cuddles and loves. My personal fur babies are not kenneled but I do have kennels for ones who prefer it. It's whatever makes them happiest. Or feel the safest. I'm a pretty good judge of character when it comes to fur babies. We read one another very well. Which in turn makes us more comfy with one another. I don't think I've ever had a bad experience with one ever.i know when to back off or come in for loves. Mutal respect is the best policy I feel.
“Great little walk for my little pup! Lauren was very good with communication and loved the pictures/video she sent. Sad Boston will be losing her but enjoyed our interaction very much!”

About: I’ve taken care of many pets for my family over the years, currently I’m helping my aunt with her high-energy border collie/german shepherd mix. I love taking dogs for walks, playing fetch, roughhousing with them, anything to get that energy out! I’m in between jobs right now and I’m looking to start college later in the fall. My schedule is very flexible and I have lots of free time. I’m good at following verbal/written instructions regarding boundaries within your home, as well as specific instructions about your pets needs. I’ll always ask the owner if I’m unsure about something.
About: I've taken care of many of my friends pets, dogs and cats when they are away. I absolutely love doing it! Pets are part of the family! I am currently working part time doing instacart so I am on the road and can stop whenever I need to let them out or take them on a walk. I am also starting school this summer so I will be available after classes as well. I usually stay over at my friend's house whenever they are gone to watch their fur babies. So they feel comfortable and safe in there own space.
About: I have always enjoyed giving love and affection to the pets around me. Dogs are my favorite and I’m always glad to give my time to them always! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’ve always genuinely enjoy being around animals. I’m comfortable with daily tasks like feeding, walks, cleaning up after pets, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s routine so they feel secure and well cared for while their family is away. I will provide care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. In my client’s home, I follow their instructions closely for feeding, walks, exercise, playtime, medication (if needed), and maintaining a clean environment. I will make sure your pet(s) receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision so they feel comfortable while owners are away. I do not plan on having pets in my home as it is a shared space with a no pet request. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and as comfortable as possible by maintaining consistency with their normal routine.
About: Just recently, I lost my beloved dog of 16 yrs and I am not ready to become a dog parent again. Since then, I have traveled across the states dog/ house sitting via TrustedHousesitters platform. I have an extensive experience with high energy breeds such as GSPs, setters, springers, vizslas,etc. I am an active person who hike a lot, therefore, possibly looking for dogs who need exercise. Also love to hang out at home and enjoy the company of an easygoing dogs. Love reading pets personalities and watch them. I am recently retired and my calendar is open. I teach an hour fitness classes on Tuesday and Thursday nights. I prefer long house sits and walking. I do not have a fenced yard but live on a quiet street near the river. If your pup loves to swim, perfect for a hot day. Willing to travel to your place to take your pup for a walk or to spend a few hours to play.
“Natalya has been great to work with. She quickly responded to my request, was on time, working around my schedule, and was professional. My dog instantly adored her when they met. She was so good with him. She gave me really great feedback about how he responded to her on the walk. I am looking forward to working with her many more times in the future and have already booked her for dog sitting.”

“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!!!”
“Leslie is fantastic!!! We felt so good about leaving our baby with her. Basil has some separation anxiety (so do I) and she was great with both of us and sent photos every day and some videos of her playing. It made it so we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about her. We will definitely use her on the future and highly recommend her!!!”
“We feel so relaxed leaving Gus with Nikkole, knowing he will have tons of fun and tons of snuggles. It’s so convenient that she does drop off and pick up as well.”
“Oh my Goodness Anna and her husband are fantastic! She takes such good care of your babies and is in constant contact. Anna truly strives to make you feel comfortable by taking notes on special feeding instructions and care. Her yard is beautifully fenced in and spacious for pups and best of all she is loving and playful with your fur children when you cannot be there. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Roger took good care of our dog while we were on vacation for one week. He sent pictures of our pet on a daily basis without us requesting him to send any. We are very happy (and lucky) to have found Roger. We'll be using Roger's service in the future for sure. =)”
“Noelle is absolutely fantastic! My dog daughter loves spending time with her and her dogs. Blaze comes back so happy and so cute with the services I have gotten for her. Thank you so much!”
“A great first experience with rover. Kristine was awesome and sent pictures. Very clean environment and I know they got lots of snuggles. I would definitely recommend!!”
“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!”
“Total peace of mind while away! We were instantly relieved when our highly energetic pup immediately took to Keri and Kerry's family, yard and Beau :) This lovely family puts you at ease with their calm demeanor and years of knowledge and experience with dogs (including active puppies). They are exceptionally intuitive with new and old dogs. Our pup was so well exercised, daily, that it allayed our usual concerns of him getting into mischief. Keri and Kerry were always quick to respond and kept us informed daily. Communication was clear and easy. He was so well cared for that we were genuinely and regularly blown away when we received the pics of him laying contentedly, relaxing and getting pets and love from this wonderful family! Their love and ability to quickly identify and address your dog's needs will bring you the peace of mind needed to enjoy your time away. We will book with them from now on! Thank you Keri and Kerry!”
“I can tell my dog loves his staycations at Mariko’s house. She takes him to the dog park nearly every day and gives plenty of attention. She goes the extra mile. For example, she provided stairs to help my senior dog in and out of the car. She’s also really good about sending daily check-ins (photos, videos, etc.) It is a bit of a drive to drop off and pick up for us, but it’s totally worth it. She is our go-to dog sitter.”
“This is our first time using Laurin as our dog sitter. She was very helpful accomodating our last minute booking because our dog sitter has canceled on us. Our dog was super happy, stayed active and feel loved by her and her wonderful family! Thank you so much! Totally recommend her 👌 ❤️”
“My dog received the best care while I was away. Ren and his family welcomed my dog into their home like one of their own. I received daily updates, photos, and video of my pet enjoying his stay. Ren is very easy going and communicative. It was great to have the peace of mind knowing that my dog was not only being well cared for but also enjoying his stay.”
“My dog had such a wonderful time with Erika! My dog is a senior dog, but she did so well during the whole week and had no issues at all. Erika updated every day with photos and videos. I could tell my dog was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. I am so grateful and would definitely trust her again. Highly recommend!”
“Katie took great care of our dog and sent multiple photos and reports. She was easy to schedule and to communicate with. Would absolutely consider them again! Thank you!!”
“Tiffany and her family were amazing! They treated Mona like she was their own. We got tons of pictures and updates and I could tell our pup felt so happy and loved during her stay ☺️ We’d definitely book again!”
“Charley was very happy to make new friends and play with the big dogs, and seemed very happy when we picked him up. Harlie sent plenty of pictures throughout the week. Harlie was also very flexible when we had to change our plans twice during the stay. I would feel very comfortable leaving Charley there again”
“Our dog Tobi had a great time with Esther! He’s a super hyper active dog and can get anxious when we aren’t around. He seemed to do great under Esther’s care and had a great time with her dogs! Thank you for taking such great care of Tobi!”
“I felt very at ease leaving Oakley at Charlotte’s for the first time! He immediately grabbed a toy and pranced around at her house so I could tell he felt the same way :) We loved getting some videos of his time there, playing and relaxing. We would definitely recommend her to others and would be happy to book again with her next time we need it!”
