About: I have over 4 years of experience pet sitting for dogs, cats, and small animals. I currently house sit regularly for a family in South Kent, which has helped me build strong routines and trust with both pets and owners. I currently work in the Washington/Kent area pet sitting monthly for a family in Kent and babysitting in Washington. I am looking for additional work whether that be walking/feeding or overnight stays. I’m very respectful of my clients’ homes and keep everything clean and organized, just as it was left. I also prioritize safety by making sure pets are secure and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health.

About: Hey guys! My name is Lauranmarie. Short background on me.. I graduated from Mercy college with a Bachelors degree! I am looking to make some extra money doing something that i love, and i absolutely love animals! I am very outgoing and energetic! My whole life i’ve taken care of different types of animals and it brings a smile on my face! I have had dogs my whole life ranging in different sizes / breeds.. so i am pretty comfortable with all! Recently we had to put down my boxer “Deezul” and i was very upset losing him.. he was a part of our family for a long time and it was very hard to go through that process. We have two dogs at home named Milo and Koda..Milo is a King charles Cavalier, Koda is a boxer mix! They both usually get along with other dogs, Koda gets a little territorial, and may bark a lot, but once he is used to you and your dog there is never a problem! I hope you enjoyed a little bit about who i am and i hope to hear from you and your furry one soon(: Currently pet care is the only thing I am doing, so I will have plenty of time to watch you’re pet! They are in a great home at Laws Paws I have an unfenced yard, so walking them on a leash is necessary! However, I have a wrap around deck outside that is gated so the dogs can play outside on a nice day! I currently am doing this full-time… I have plenty of time to board your furry friend in the comfort of my home! They will be in good hands! I am home with the dogs all day long… Constantly playing with them taking them out for walks and updating owners with videos and pictures daily so you feel comfortable with them here while you’re away

“Theresa took excellent care of our cats while we were away. She followed instructions exactly and was very responsive to messages. Most importantly the cats liked her! Would absolutely recommend her, and will be hiring Theresa again for our next trip”

About: I've taken care of dogs since at a very young age for family and friends. I love dogs and have two of my own. I would take care of your pet as if they were my own. I work full-time so I'm available morning and early afternoon on days that I work. I'm off three days during the week and my schedule is more flexible those days. Sticking to their daily routines, providing communication with the clients on how their pets doing, and by building trust with their pets/owners. Respecting the household environment.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for the past 8 years. Friends, family, and neighbors can rely on me to take care of their pets I am currently available any day and time during the week that works best for your busy schedule. I have plenty of time to play. I have a decent sized yard with two friendly dogs to help keep your pup company. I can crate and leash if needed for safety

“Kelsey was fantastic! I needed a new dog sitter last minute so we could go to a wedding that night, and she not only accepted the job, but came over in the afternoon for a lengthy meet and greet. My 1 1/2 year old pup is 75 lbs and very strong, and I had no worries that she could handle him even if they ran in to other people and dogs on their walk. Rocky took to her right away, and we were able to relax and have fun at the wedding. Thanks Kelsey!”

About: I had a dog since I was in 2nd grade, for around 15 years. I have experience in young puppy care and senior dog care. Just getting into the Rover business, but eager of learn and would love to help! So I’m currently a 3rd Resident Physician at the hospital, so I do have more time on weekends to do sit ins and walks. I miss having a dog and taking care of one so this is my way to give back! I also can do late night sit ins or walks after my shift which usually ends at 630pm. I have an apartment with a doggy park and a pet cleaning and bathing area. The doggy park is fenced with toys and water. I’m great at following instructions and will take great caution and care in others home.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, bunnies, and birds. Growing up with different types of animals taught me how to adapt to each pet’s unique personality, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic dogs who need structured walks and play, to smaller animals that require gentle handling and consistency. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and mood to make sure every pet is happy, healthy, and comfortable. I currently have open availability, which allows me to be flexible and fully accommodate your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening care, I can adjust my schedule to fit their needs. Because I’m not rushing between commitments, I’m able to give each pet focused, unhurried attention during every visit. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most safe and comfortable. My approach is always needs-based, meaning I follow your pet’s routine closely and adjust to their personality. whether they need lots of interaction or a calm, low-key presence.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my hands-on experience, patience, and dedication to providing loving, attentive care, especially for senior pets. Over the past four years, I’ve cared for my dog, Pancho, who became sick and needed consistent monitoring and extra attention. I’ve helped manage his medication, previously every 12 hours and now every morning, while making sure he has fresh water and receives his meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This experience has taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and responsible when caring for senior pets or animals with special needs. I also have a cat, Tyson whom I care for daily and feed on a consistent schedule. Caring for my own pets has helped me understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m comfortable providing extra attention, maintaining feeding routines, monitoring pets closely, and helping with medication schedules as directed. Whether caring for a senior pet, a puppy who needs patience and guidance, or an animal who needs a little extra care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I primarily work from home, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide consistent attention to pets throughout the day. I also work at a gym on Mondays and Sundays. I’m organized with my time and can plan accordingly to ensure pets receive reliable, attentive care. My home is smoke-free and has a fenced-in yard, providing a comfortable environment for pets. I also have a crate available if needed. Pets are welcome on the furniture and will be treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and care. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine and accommodate their individual needs to help them feel safe and comfortable. I do have two dogs, Rocky and Pancho. Both are males, ages are 2 years old and 9.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I genuinely care for animals and I like to do whatever I can to help and make their lives and your lives stress, free and happy. My weekly routine is very flexible yet it changes. I’m free in the mornings maybe some afternoons or evenings depending on my schedule and yours. I’m very easy to communicate with and figure out a time that works for both parties. I care for pets like I care for people whether I’m taking your pet for a walk or tending to them in your home. I listen to all instructions and preferences because that is the routine that suits the animal best.

“Pauline came to meet our high energy puppy. She was so patient and Tuna loved her! We cannot wait to use her for our future dog sitting needs!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in high school. I am known as the dog-sitter in my neighborhood. When my neighbors go on vacation or away, I am always the first one called to watch their animals. While they are away, I feed and walk the dogs. I also have experience staying over night at various houses to dog sit. I’m currently working as a teacher, but we are off during the Summer.

I have experience walking, feeding, exercising, overnight stays, and administering medication. I currently have one black cat age 13, and two bunnies ages 10 and 2. My senior rabbit receives daily oral medication and twice daily eye drops. I am also experienced at bunny-proofing spaces to keep spaces safe and undamaged.

About: Socialized dogs will absolutely have a great time staying with me as we spend time at the dog park and make new friends! High energy pups are my favorite as I'm a long distance runner and can handle extended walks/runs with your buddy. I've had 3 years experience at dog kennels and was responsible for monitoring group play of up to 20 dogs in one yard. Puppy group play was my favorite and most intensive role as I was trained to recognize dog body language and maintain safety when pups were getting too ruff. During my time in kennels, I also was able to provide scheduled feedings and administer oral medications daily. My family owns an elderly dog with arthritis, and during cold months I am willing to carry dogs up/down stairs to avoid slips on snow/ice. During a long-term stay I will gladly spend time with your pooch for walks, play time and socializing, naps, massages, and feedings. Observing dog behavior during each of these parts of our day is important to me. This allows me have a detailed report of your pet's stay when you return. Keeping track of any behavioral, digestive, or sleep-related issues is always made a top priority for my guests. I typically begin my day with walking any dogs that are staying overnight with me, could be at the dog park, then feeding them, and then heading out for 1-2 hours to walk my regular clients on weekdays. With winter approaching, we may need to minimize time spent on walks during heavy snow/rain. However, larger breeds who can handle snow days are encouraged to stay with me for extended outdoor play. It's very important to me to establish trust with new dogs at their own pace. This is easily done by giving the typical commands and rewarding with treats, as well as affirming trust on leashed walks. In my apartment building there are other dogs who live on my floor, and I'm very vigilant about who is in the hallway or stairwells when I am taking a dog outside. Within my apartment unit, your pet can freely relax on the couch or large rugs I have. Smaller breeds are also welcome to relax on my bed along with me when its time to sleep. I do my best to keep dogs calm and like to be hands on with lots of belly rubs and ear scratching as most dogs seem to really enjoy that. Its also important to me to clean my apartment before and after I have pets staying overnight.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for both family members and other clients for free, providing dog walking/sitting services for dogs ranging from Yorkies to Great Danes. I’m a huge dog lover who is willing to do anything necessary to keep them entertained and loved, whether that’s walking them for a mile at 2 am or cuddling with them as I sleep. I truly value the connection between humans and dogs, and even those who are more unfriendly are able to warm up to me quite rapidly. I’m very flexible overall and would accommodate any client needs! As a recent college graduate, I’m currently a door dasher and searching for part-time jobs, so I have a lot of flexibility to take care of pets and commit to pet sitting or walking. I’m open to any hours of the day including overnight care if necessary. I love giving pets the freedom to have fun and explore while maintaining discipline and good behavior. I enjoy walking dogs regularly and keeping them healthy through consistent exercise, and I also love cuddling with any pet and making sure they’re never bored or lonely. I’m a firm believer that a pet should never be locked in the same room all day, so I love constant movement and attention. Another priority of mine is pet safety and security, ensuring they aren’t in a stressful environment that reduces their happiness.
