I offer a secure setting with a large backyard on a private, safe drive ensuring a secure and comfortable experience for every pet.

About: We've had pets in my home since I was a baby, so I'm very familiar with caring for different types of dogs and cats, from super energetic to one's that love and need their own space. I've done dog walking and sitting, as well as cat sitting. I'm currently a student athlete at UAFS, so I have less availability during the week than I do on the weekends, which are completely free. If there is a day on the weekend that isn't I will let you know in advance. If your pet does need more care during the week, we can absolutely work something out that's the best for them and my classes. I'm a super flexible as a person, so whether your pet needs ample play time and attention, or just needs a calming presence with them while you're away or at work, I can accommodate both. If you'd rather me be there for just a check in walk/feeding and then leave, that's also completely fine.
“Skylar is simply the best! She's great at communicating and takes great care of our cats (and our plants!). We have hired her numerous times to take care of the cats and she does a great job every time. I cannot thank her enough for being thorough and detail oriented with the care she provides. I highly recommend her to all cat and plant parents! Thank you Skylar!”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. What started as a small childhood side hustle of going out of my way to care for other people's dogs has grown into a lifelong passion. I raised my own dog until he was 16, giving me deep, adaptable experience in senior pet care. I also volunteered at the Humane Society, working with animals of all sizes and breeds, especially the misunderstood ones! Whether we're going on a fast-paced walk, hanging out with a lazy Pug, or just cleaning the litterbox and chilling with your cat, I'm ready to treat your pets like my own. As a remote worker, my daily schedule is generally very flexible! I am open throughout the day, but I prefer to schedule most of my walks and drop-ins for anytime after 11 AM or 12 PM. Since I am also a student, my exact availability might shift a bit depending on my course load for the semester, but I will always keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly with you. Because I currently live in an apartment, I exclusively offer walks and drop-in visits at your home. Honestly, I believe that keeping pets in their familiar environment is the easiest and least stressful option for them. When visiting your home, I will be completely respectful of your space, ensure all doors or gates are securely closed, and keep your pets safe and happy in the environment they already know best.
About: Whether you're away for a day or an extended trip, I provide personalized care, fun playtime, and plenty of belly rubs for your furry family member. With a calm presence, flexible availability, and a true love for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and right at home. Walks, cuddles, feeding, meds; I’ve got it covered! It’s just me and my two teenagers in the house - they are 17 and 19 and both have their own cars so I rarely see them! They’ve grown up around having a dog, and continually pressure me to have another one 😵💫 We had a bully breed mix, Celine Dion who sadly passed from old age in 2019. She had diabetes towards the end of her life, so I’m familiar with giving medication/shots if necessary. Since then we’ve regularly looked after our friends’ dogs until we fostered Simba in 2024 - we had him for 10 months until he was adopted. Because of having family in England, I want to be able to travel there frequently so am not ready to have a permanent dog again yet, but I LOVE having dogs come and stay with me when my calendar allows. I work from home so have flexibility in my routine and am always available for my visitors’ needs. I like to take a morning walk, and an evening one too. I’m not away from home often. I have a fully fenced yard and my neighborhood has beautiful walking trails, that I use whether I am walking a dog, or just walking alone. I’ve fostered rescue dogs and have experience of high anxiety dogs. I’m 6 feet tall and strong, and my last foster was great with people but not so much with other dogs we met on our walks, so I’m used to avoiding them, if necessary! I am happy to send photos to you whilst your dog is in my care, and will communicate with you as frequently as you would like.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up surrounded by pets of all kinds, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Today, I’m a proud dog dad to a sweet two-year-old German Shepherd who keeps life active, fun, and full of playtime. I’m currently in graduate school and spend most of my week studying from home, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. Our home has a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, and we’re located near several great parks where I regularly take my dog for walks and exercise—your pup is always welcome to join us! My German Shepherd is very friendly, well-socialized, and loves meeting new dogs, so if your dog enjoys having a playmate, they’ll have a built-in buddy here. Between park trips, backyard time, enrichment activities, and lots of affection, I aim to make every dog feel comfortable, stimulated, and right at home. I’m also happy to be flexible with your dog’s routine and needs—whether that means specific walk schedules, feeding times, or play preferences. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pup has a safe, fun, and loving stay. As a graduate student currently completing my master’s degree, I spend most of my week studying and working from home. Because of this, I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention and consistent care throughout the day. My typical routine includes a morning walk or park visit to start the day, outdoor playtime and stimulation in the afternoon, and another walk or activity in the evening. Since I’m home, your pup won’t be left alone and will have lots of supervision, companionship, and opportunities for exercise. My schedule is also flexible, so I’m happy to adjust walks, playtime, feeding, and rest periods to match your dog’s normal routine and needs. I offer a calm, safe home environment that’s perfect for dogs who need a comfortable place to stay. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can play and explore safely, and my home has plenty of space for them to relax indoors as well. I don’t have children, which helps keep the environment quiet and predictable for pets who may prefer a more peaceful setting. I also keep a clean, pet-friendly space and closely supervise dogs both inside and outside to make sure they’re always secure and comfortable. My goal is to make every dog feel at home while giving owners peace of mind that their pet is in a safe, attentive environment.
About: I’ve had dogs for at least 15years, of all shapes and sizes as well as temperaments! I used to work for a pet groomer in Vancouver, and my neighbors, friends and family have all relied on me for boarding, walking, and feeding their pets. I currently work full-time remotely. I have a flexible work schedule and can take dogs on walks about every 2hrs as well as take them to the park and/or dog park after I’m off work around 3pm. I have an unfenced yard, however I can put a lead out if your doggy loves to be outside for short periods of time. I walk the pups every 2hrs or so depending on the needs of the dog and my need for exercise beginning early in the morning before 6am. I can crate dogs or keep them uncreated, depending on the needs of the dog. I do have 2 girls that also love dogs and love to play with them and also help with exercising the pup!
“Hannah took amazing care of our kitties! My older grandma kitty had a UTI while I was gone and Hannah took her to the vet and handled things well! The cat box was super clean which was a treat as well. Thank you so much for your great care, Hannah!”


“Isabella did a great job checking in on our two dogs. She instantly connected with them, and was very responsive sending photos and videos. I highly recommend her!”

“Gema took great care of our little man (17 yr old dachshund/schnauzer rescue). She was sweet, patient, and super communicative while we were out of town. Will definitely welcome Gema back any time!”

“I highly recommend Carter! They took excellent care of my cat, while I was away. From our initial meeting, it was clear they genuinely love animals. They provided regular updates and adorable photos. Carter went above and beyond in ensuring everything was perfect. I will definitely book them again for my next trip!”

“Michaela was flexible, communicative and a good listener, thorough and conscientious. We appreciated knowing that our animals were well cared for while out of town. Highly recommended.”

“Super happy with the great job Paige did! She came by in the mornings and evenings and took wonderful care of my cats while i was out of town for a week. Got lots of photos and updates. Had a nice, stress-free trip: knowing that my little felines were being so well taken care of. :]”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Washougal stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Washougal choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Washougal with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
