House Sitting Van Mall

“Cameryn was extremely open with me about her choices and how that would work with Baker. I believe she is honest and especially very caring and does what she says! This was our first time away from Baker over night and without relatives. He managed well and was not even sure we were gone because he STAYED AT HIS OWN HOME! I am very grateful!!!”

“Great care for our higher needs anxious dog. Heelers have their own personality and it seems like they handled her great ! Lots of communication and pictures.”

Katie S.

“Zoe was fantastic with our two very anxious pups! She kept us updated and we came back to a clean house & happy dogs. Will definitely be booking her again!”

“For an entire year I had a 23-day trip booked and because I had moved away from my best dog sitter in Renton, WA, and needed to find a new dog sitter who lived in Vancouver, WA, I was getting worried. My dog Sammi was almost 15 years old and quite a needy (but sweet) dog. I found Pat and was very happy with the time, care and love she gave my elderly girl. Sammi did extremely well while in Pat's care and Pat sent me pictures of Sammi at Starbucks and shopping. Sammi needed a caring and loving adult sitter and we definitely found one in Pat! I would recommend Pat for anybody needing that perfect sitter! ”

“Allison was wonderful! She stayed at our home and cared for our 4 animals. She walked Ginger everyday and kept our plants alive too. She was incredible!”

About: I’ve spent much of my life caring for animals of all kinds, including dogs, many cats, and other pets! I grew up with an Australian Shepherd, whom I trained in basic obedience as well as agility-course tricks (although I am not a formally trained or certified dog trainer), and cats. More recently, I’ve pet-sat for the cats and dogs of family and friends. This has included caring for an older pet with mobility limitations and a pet with complex health needs and a medication schedule. I understand how important it is to follow an owner’s care instructions carefully, especially when medications or special routines are involved. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m happy to play, provide enrichment, groom, go for walks, or simply give plenty of attention and snuggles while their people are away. I’ve even walked cats! I’m detail-oriented and appreciate thorough care instructions. As a graduate researcher, I’m accustomed to following detailed protocols, keeping careful track of schedules, and paying close attention to small changes—skills I also bring to caring for animals. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re apart. As a graduate researcher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care throughout my day. My research schedule varies from week to week, but I keep my Rover calendar up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can reliably accommodate. For house sitting, I’m able to spend mornings, evenings, and overnight with your pets while working around my university responsibilities during the day. Because much of my academic work can be done on my laptop, I can often study, read, or write from your home while keeping your pets company. For drop-in visits, I plan visits around my daily schedule and make sure I have enough time to provide attentive care rather than rushing through a visit. I appreciate having a few days of advance notice whenever possible so I can plan my schedule around your pet’s routine and care needs. I know that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big responsibility. I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine and the instructions you provide, including feeding, medications, walks, litter-box care, and any household or safety precautions. I’m detail-oriented and genuinely appreciate thorough written instructions, especially for pets with medical needs or established routines. Before caring for a new pet, I like to learn about their personality, normal behavior, feeding and bathroom habits, medications or health concerns, and anything that might frighten or trigger them. For dogs, I also want to know about leash behavior and how they respond to other dogs, people, wildlife, and unfamiliar situations. I respect each animal’s boundaries and won’t force interaction with a pet who is frightened or wants space. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, drinking, bathroom habits, or mobility and will communicate with you promptly if something seems unusual. In an emergency, I will follow your emergency-care instructions and contact you and/or your designated veterinarian as appropriate. When house sitting or providing drop-in care, I treat your home respectfully and make sure doors, gates, and other entry points are secured when I enter or leave. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away.

“Erin helped us out in a pinch that required some extra communication and a handoff. She was professional, communicative and helpful, and we were confident that the pets were well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again!”

“Our family needed Jacob during a very difficult time. Jacob was kind, prompt, and immediately hit it off with our girls (Bear and Tookie). He was available to provide last minute care for our fur babies and sent updates daily on their well-being. We will definitely utilize Jacob‘s services in the future. He comes highly recommended by all our family members!”

“Paul took such great care our dog and cat that every time I got an update it looked like neither of them even noticed we were gone. And then in a pinch when our flight home got unexpectedly cancelled, Paul stopped over again an extra morning to account for our delayed return. Jan and Paul very clearly care about your animals and are probably some of the best sitters I’ve used on rover. I highly recommend them and would absolutely use them again to care for my pets.”

Beth D.

“We highly recommend Cora to watch your fuzzballs. She showed up on time, was communicative, sent updates, and the puppy was very happy when we got home. Thanks Cora!”

Matthew B.

“Hannah stayed with my dog while I was away for the weekend and was communicative during the stay with pictures and updates. Thanks for taking care of her!”

Charlene H.

“Rachelle took great care of our active dog, senior cat, and our home while we were out of town. She came over on her own for a pre booking meet and greet, checked in with us regularly while we were away, sent photos and kept us updated, and left the house clean and respected the space. We'd def book her again. Thanks Rachelle!”

Jacquelynn Y.

“This was the first time we used lynzi and she was amazing we came home to happy animals and a fresh house we got daily updates and pictures we will definetly be using her again”

Tina B.

“Brigit is the gem I was looking for. My dog is very sweet but shy and I've had some bad experiences with sitters who expect a happy-go-lucky-tail-wagging pup. Brigit immediately understood Blondie and her needs and appreciated and cared for her in the same way I do. She was very communicative and shared photos everyday. Highly recommend!”

Samantha P.

“Venessa was nothing short of amazing. We last minute needed someone to stay with our dogs for a day while we were at work and she answered the call! I was sent pictures of my 3 fur babies all day with constant updates and communication. I will without a doubt be calling on Venessa again when we need someone to stay with the dogs.”

Rachel W.

“Ana stayed with our dogs for 4 nights while we were out of town. I felt so comfortable with her and I knew my babies and house were being cared for. One of my worries with dog sitters is that they will leave my dogs crated a lot but Ana didn’t, she spent a lot of time with the dogs and sent lots of pictures! I was at ease our entire vacation! We will definitely use Ana again in the future!”

Ashley H.

“Janesia was amazing with our pets! My dog is an anxious dog and getting her to eat is a bit hard when we’re away. Pepper was eating her meals, going on walks and snuggling with janesia the entire time we were away. Janesia consistently sent updates and pictures which made me feel so much better because I get nervous every time I leave my pets in someone else’s care. She followed all my instructions and asked questions if she was in doubt. She also left my home in perfect condition and left a sweet treat for us as a welcome home gift! She was absolutely amazing and I will definitely keep her as my regular pet sitter 😊!”

Mayra L.

“We had a great experience with Shane. He was so responsive and really took the stress out of leaving our two dogs and cat overnight without having to put them through leaving home. He took great care of our home and fur babies.”

Kimberly D.

“Victoria has been a great sitter and I would love to use her again in the future. She provided several updates throughout the stay, and was very attentive. One of our pets experienced a medical emergency and she was able to take them to the ER vet and get them the care needed. I’m not sure what we would have done without her!”
