“I highly recommend Krista, who cares for my boxer, Sunny. Krista is exceptionally caring and reliable, always making sure Sunny is happy, safe, and well-exercised. She genuinely loves animals, and I have complete peace of mind knowing Sunny is in her care when i am working.”

About: I have been a pet lover my whole 44 years. I have owned cats and dogs of many breeds, ranging from kitten care to senior pooches needing med regimens. Currently loving on a chinchilla at home, I am delighted to care for pets of all shapes and sizes. This is currently my only gig, so I have all the time to spend with your loved ones. Always happy to discuss complicated pet needs. Care in a client home is at each client’s discretion. You tell me what your love needs and I’ll get it done. You can trust me to communicate important issues and just take care of the small stuff.

“Lisa continues to be a great caregiver for our dog! We have used her services on several occasions and will continue to for the future. She has great communication and you can tell she really cares!”

“Alisha took so much care in walking our dog. She made sure she was safe and enjoyed her walks very much. We would definitely love to have her walk our dog again.”

About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience! I grew up with multiple dogs and have spent years walking and caring for pets, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with different routines, energy levels, and personalities—and I always make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. Mondays–Wednesdays are my off days and my most flexible time. I work Thursday–Sunday afternoons starting around 2, and my mornings are usually reserved for staying active—walks, workouts, or anything that gets me moving. I don’t have pets currently, but I’ve grown up caring for family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with most breeds, prioritizing calm, safe, attentive care.

“Eli did a fantastic job with my dog, Spot! Eli showed up on time, paid close attention to details about caring for Spot, appeared genuinely interested in Spot’s personality and needs, was kind and caring while demonstrating an ability to manage Spot with safety in mind. I will definitely rebook with Eli!”

About: Hello! I have grown up around animals my whole life, caring for a wide variety of fur babies; horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, even birds. I would love to help you enjoy your travels stress free while providing quality care for your pet(s). I have around 10 years of experience around dogs, and three years ago have become a cat owner. I have experience taking care of animals with difficult care schedules and behavioral conditions, as in the past I have volunteered at animal rescues. I provide a gentle approach around animal’s and aim to provide only the best care for your pet! I am a grad student with a flexible summer schedule, up until mid-August, as I will be moving for school. Until then, I am happy to help look after your pet. I am new to Rover but am a reliable caretaker for pets of friends and family. I follow care schedules very diligently to ensure your pet is healthy and happy while your away :)

About: I have a dog at home that I helped trained and have taken care of friends and family’s dogs. I would love to take care of your pup and give it lots of attention. I am a college student home for the summer and am currently for the most part free any day. This could change later on as I find out my schedule. I only offer dog walking services. I can assure you that your dog will be well taken care of and will have lots of fun on their walk. If allowed treats will also be given

“Christine was great with our pup! Would highly recommend.”

About: When neighbors or friends need a dog sitter, I always raise my hand! I love long walks, playing fetch and canine cuddles. I have experience with all ages (young pup to senior). I am taking time to figure out my next professional chapter. While I do that, I have lots of time to put energy into something I love: being with animals. I'm well-versed in using multiple-dog-lead leashes, spending quality time with pets, and being bad cop when a fur baby tries to get an extra feeding.

“Maya is incredible with my high energy chocolate lab Buffy!! Buffed loved her immediately and started waiting by the door for her walks. I highly recommend Maya!!”

“Jacob walked our dog, Bruno while we were out of town for 4 days. He was punctual and his communication was extremely appreciated. This was the first time having someone else walk our dog and my wife and I felt very comfortable leaving our dog in his very capable hands. He took Bruno on different walks each day and sent us pictures of his adventures! We would be thrilled to have Jacob take care or walk Bruno in the future. Thanks for taking such good care of our boy, Jacob!”

“Tori was very confident with Zara, who cooperated with Tori immediately. Tori arrives on time, knows the neighborhood walking areas well, and is flexible when possible.”

“Natalie was on time, conscientious, and great with the pups. She put my mind at ease during a particularly stressful time when I could not walk them daily. I would definitely hire her again.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have helped take care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors for years. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats, including a puppy, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I can also do overnights! I have experience with rescue dogs and dogs from abusive households - I understand that every animal has a different personality and needs different levels of patience and attention. I love animals and always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have two dogs- a Black Mouth Cur named Koa who was a rescue from Hawaii and an Anatolian Shepherd/Great Pyrenees Mix named Chung from a shelter in Tacoma. I have a flexible schedule and can work with a variety of pet care needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe while their owners are away. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I also have experience with rescue dogs and understand the importance of patience when working with shy or nervous pets.

About: I have always been an extreme dog lover…growing up I volunteered through various adoption agencies and duties included fostering dogs, helping with walks, and lots of playing and entertaining. I have two absolutely insane pups, so no dog will be too much energy to handle. My partner and I are very active and love bringing our pups along on all of our adventures, and I would love to do the same for your pup, if they like the outdoors. If not, I'm just as happy snuggling up and providing lots of love and attention when you're away. I unfortunately cannot sit inside my home because my one pup, Kona, doesn't always get along with other dogs, but walks, drop-ins and house sitting are definitely something I can do! I'm very flexible when it comes to what you might need, so I can make most accommodations without issue! I'm very excited to take care of your pup while you're out, and I always send pics/updates (if you'd like), because I know I love when a sitter does that for me! Fit in care around work schedule, try to accommodate what your needs are. Depending on the season, my availability changes but I’ll always be upfront about that. Happy to follow any instructions you provide. Happy to play in the yard, take your pup on walks/run, take your pup to the trails…whatever they like best!

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, and even koi fish. I specialize in earning the trust of shy and sensitive animals, including feral and rescued cats, senior pets, and anxious dogs. I’ve bottle-fed kittens, provided comfort care to elderly animals, and supported a large outdoor cat colony with love and patience. What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive presence and deep understanding of animal behavior. I customize care to your pet’s specific needs—whether that’s playtime, peaceful companionship, medication support, or senior care. I’m retired from a career in IT, so I’m reliable, communicative, and available with a flexible schedule. I’ll treat your pets like family and your home with the utmost respect. I’m retired and have the flexibility to dedicate my time fully to pet care. My daily routine already revolves around feeding, observing, and nurturing animals. Most of the animals I care for are rescues with unique needs, so I’m experienced with medications, vet visits, and creating a calm, nurturing environment.

About: My friends call me "The world's best dog mom" I've had a strong connection to animals since I was a child. I've raised puppies and cared for them in their senior years, managing their aches and pains with the best care, post-surgery care, medication administration- I've done it all. I work from home and am able to offer drop-in visits on the island to check on your fur babies while you’re out. Weekends are more flexible, but can also do weekdays. I currently offer drop-in visits at your home, perfect for potty breaks, feeding, water, play, snuggles, or any special needs they may have, like giving medication.

“Jamie was amazing with our boy Truckee! The communication and updates she provided were great and she went above and beyond taking care of our pup. We know hes in great hands with Jamie and couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Emily has been great. Our pup (who can be wary of new people) quickly warmed up to her and gets super excited when she shows up for a walk now. Emily has extensive experience with animals and a very similar positive training style to our own. Most importantly for us, she's adept at handling leash reactive dogs, so we feel comfortable when she's out in the world with ours. She communicates well and has been super responsive when we've had to change plans. We feel lucky to have found her!”
