House Sitting in Washington Depot

“Kira was great! We hired her to come to our vacation AirB&B for two evenings when friends we were visiting didn't want animals in their home. Kira spent a few hours with our dog, so we could have dinner with our friends at their house. Kira arrived and was right away in control (clearly, she has some dog-handling experience), and our dog seemed happy. We'll definitely hire her again the next time we visit our friends!”

“Jeffrey is fantastic! Very flexible and easy to communicate with, we really appreciated how willing he was to come over and meet our dogs twice before our trip. He was also more than willing to return to our house to let them outside for a quick break when we asked. Can’t recommend Jeffrey enough!”

“Jillian was amazing with my pups!! She communicated through out the stay and sent pics! She left my house neat and clean. Highly recommend her!!”

“Madeline took great care of my babies. She communicated every day, and asked questions when she was unsure of behaviors, which I appreciated. My pups were happy and calm when I came home telling me they were well taken care of and loved. I will definitely have Madeljne stay with my pups again.”

“Patricia was wonderful from the very first contact! She was willing to help us with everything, and we had a peaceful trip thanks to the way she cared for our dog, Milo. we were able to relax knowing he was in good hands. Patricia is definitely a kind and lovely person, and our dog loved being around her. His anxiety was much better, and we felt much more at ease.”

About: I've had cats my entire life, I pet sit for 2 dogs during the summer before I could get a job and would love for it to become a regular part of my life again. I enjoy spending time with animals sometimes more than people. I'm a college student and a caregiver currently so feel free to reach out with questions about availability. I have a constantly changing schedule and I may be available more than what's marked here. I take care of my own 2 cats daily, and I'd love to take care of more pets in between my work hours or on my days off. I've been in an environment with animals as long as I can remember feeding them, scooping litter boxes, and my favorites giving love, and playing.

“Kira did a great job, she arrived on time as scheduled, the dogs loved her. She left the house cleaner then she found it. We will definitely use Kira again in the future.”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Seah! She was absolutely perfect - she took care of Ruby as if she were her own, was easy to communicate with, Responsive, and took excellent care of our home as well. She was an absolute treasure and I highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals. Five years ago I adopted two cats who I absolutely adore. I helped raise my roommate’s puppy and have walked/cared for dogs and cats at shelters. I have trusted Rover to find a perfect fit for my cats when I needed a sitter and I want to be that loving and reliable person for someone else now. I am currently taking some time off from my full time job so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets at any time of the day! I am happy to tailor my services to the needs of your pet/s. While I do not provide services at my own home, I would love to help out at your home, which is, in my experience, more comfortable less stressful for the pets themselves.

“I hired Jasmine to be mini-me while I was away. She took care of all my clients dogs just as I would, and that says a lot! She contacted me any time there was a question, and made every dog so comfortable in my home. I am so glad Jasmine and I connected and I truly hope that she agrees to book again. She was a true find.”

“Tierna is great! She was so flexible with our booking and was so responsive. She treated Brady like he was her own dog. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. We definitely will book again with Tierna.”

About: I have had cats since I was a baby and had chow chow dogs since I was 13 years old. I also worked at a kennel off and on for 12.5 years. I learned a little training but not a lot. I have worked with all different breeds of dogs. I love snuggling with cats as I grew up with having them in my household. I currently work full time however, full time is 30 hours for me so it allows me to have 3 to 4 days off towards the end of the week depending on the week. We have a large back yard with a dog run and as far as my cat. He is an indoor cat and gets spoiled indoors.

About: I have loved animals my entire lifetime. My journey started with horseback riding at the age of 5. I grew up working with horses and doing plenty of barn chores. Fast forward some years and I slowly changed over from horses to dogs!! I always had a family dog, but, once I got my first Siberian Husky 5 years ago- that changed everything! We got our Husky at 8 weeks and unfortunately he was very sick. But, with lots of TLC, he is now a healthy and happy boy! When I got him, I decided to reach out to a local trainer in my town who helped me with obedience training through Ghost’s first year. It taught me so much about the breed and just how spectacular & smart they are. With a breed like a husky, training can be the difference between an unruly dog who destroys your house or a well behaved dog. I’ve learned so much from the breed and dogs in general. I actually prefer my dogs (and animals in general) over most humans lol just kidding…kind of :) I’ve since gotten a second husky pup who is now 2. She followed the same training regimen as my first and is the sweetest, sassiest little girl. I have a lot of experience with puppy training and am a natural animal soother. Animals, especially dogs, tend to gravitate towards me. I think they can sense how much I appreciate them and love them. I continue to learn everything I can about training, different breeds, etc. and recently took a class on the science of dog training. I have some experience with training adult dogs, but, have had much more experience with puppies. My dogs know many commands- I’ll list a few of the basics: heal, walking heal, sit, down, stay, the word “no”, etc. They even press a button to tell me when they want a treat! I have a lot of fun teaching them. Even though they are trained, I continue to test them periodically at home and out of the house to maintain their skills. I have a fenced in yard at home but we still love to go for walks around our road, go for “Sniffari’s”, hikes, dog play dates, etc. I also work closely with my sister, who has her basic training knowledge with adult dogs- so together we are able to take on dogs from puppy age to adult age. I also groom- although I am not licensed to do so, I started grooming family pets years ago. I currently groom 2 golden doodles and 1 schnauzer/poodle mix. I have ever expanding knowledge and patience for days because I truly love my furry friends. My life revolves around my fur babies and I enjoy spending time with all dogs- and maybe even your dog one day if you are reading this til the end :) feel free to inquire more or if you have any questions about anything at all! I currently am taking a summer break from my part time work, so my schedule is flexible. I generally make a lot of time for my dogs and doing dog activities, so, I can easily add another dog into the mix or make time for your dog separate from my own dogs. If Rover goes well, I would love to continue working with dogs as more of a full time role instead of only here and there. Because dogs are such a huge part of my life already, I would love to have Rover work be my main occupation. They say you never work a day in your life if you love what you do, and I truly love working with animals and always have. At home I have a fenced in yard with cameras covering all angles of the outdoor areas. I also have indoor cameras for when I am away (for my own dogs). I have toys for playing inside and outside the house and even though I have a fence I would still watch closely to make sure everything is ok- especially in the beginning when things are new or a dog is coming over for the first time. If your animal is going to be mingling with my own, I would make sure that they are introduced to each other before letting them play together. Because I have two, I would introduce them one by one to your animal to be sure they are comfortable. If for some reason one or both don’t mix, then they can be easily separated. Obviously this will vary depending on if my own dogs are involved or not. My dogs don’t have an aggressive bone in their body, but, huskies sometimes tend to be a bit aloof and socially inept lol so they tend to rub some dogs the wrong way but not in an aggressive manner. They are just a couple of goobers 🙂 but so, so friendly and absolutely love playing with their established doggy friends and meeting new ones! I have never once seen either of my dogs snap, bite, etc to any other dog, EVER. I would still supervise efficiently to ensure all animals safety, no matter what. If I am at your residence- I will listen closely to what you need for your dog and follow those instructions. If there are not exact instructions, I will do my best to ensure the safety and happiness of your dog. Upon meeting new animals I like to get down on their level and let them give me all the sniffs they need to get to know me and maybe even a treat, too! If I feel like the dog is unsure or skiddish, I might spend a little more time giving them attention before going for a walk, etc. because I feel it’s important to establish a relationship prior to going forward.

“Mair kept me updated and informed while I was away, wirh updates, pictures and videos, which I appreciated, especially since this was my first time away from my dog.”

About: I have grown up with dogs, mainly big dogs, but I have also cared for small dogs as well. My first dog I’ve ever had quite literally taught me how to walk. I care for two dogs At my home already and Have lots of experience with all kinds of dogs, including dealing with certain health issues and needing medication’s, your dogs will be safe happy and healthy with me!! :) I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets and make sure they are well fed happy, and have the most amount of attention they could possibly have. At my house with my own dogs, we have an electric fence, but I have also done multiple walks throughout the day and have used leeds I’ve potty trained two of my dogs and am familiar with the crating process as well if that is apart of their routine!

About: I have had pets; mainly dogs my whole life. It’s so important to give them attention, play with them and to walk them on a consistent basis for them to be happy. I have done this for numerous people over the past 5 years I currently am looking to care for dogs and to walk dogs to supplement my income. I am very ambitious and love being outdoors walking my own dogs; it’s vital for them to get that exercise daily! I have two high energy dogs that are very friendly and playful; they would love to share their happiness and walks with other dogs! I have administered medications and often gives bathes after walks- especially after they roll in something on the walk or run thru mud.

“Elaina did a wonderful job of caring for my two cats when I was away for a week. She is reliable, punctual, follows instructions carefully and truly cares about pet welfare. With Elaina caring for the cats, I would feel 100% confident that all was being done exactly as I would. One of my cats is elderly and recovering from an illness and so required extra attention, which Elaina managed perfectly. Elaina is a fantastic and trustworthy pet sitter. Five stars, 100% great!!”
