About: I have been watching family and friends animals since I was 12. Always my passion, I have spent walking shelter dogs for Regional Animal Shelter of King County, which fed my soul. I love animals and I will go above and beyond so that your fur baby feels all of your love when you're gone. I don’t work at all so I’m available just about anytime. I would have my son with me. I pick up my other son from school around 11:40 so in between that and after I’m available. I live in a double wide trailer with lots of space and a beautiful big yard. I could also crate them if needed. My kids are very gental with dogs as well and they love to play!
“Keleia is a kind and responsible sitter. She was very responsive, and we came home to find our pets looking happy and healthy. I hope to book Keleia again for our next trip.”
“Cessily is amazing! Our dog can be challenging but we were actually able to relax while we were away because it was so obvious that she was in good hands. Cessily was excellent at communicating with us during the trip and her patience with our dog’s quirks was really appreciated. We can’t wait to have another reason to ask her to stay with our dog!”
“Erika did a great job dog & house sitting for us! She was very communicative throughout her stay and left our home better than she found it! I’m sure Moose and Theo would love to see her again soon! Thanks Erika!”
“Ariana did an amazing job. She was very proactive with status updates and kept me informed daily about everything Dexter was up to. I was able to enjoy my trip worry-free knowing my dog was in good hands. 10/10, will book again.”
“I was only gone for two nights, but I could tell Emmanuelle loved my fur babies like they were her own. I got lots of pictures and text updates, and she was always responsive when I reached out. I will absolutely book with her again!”
About: Hi! My name is Taylor, and I’m a passionate animal lover with 5 years of hands-on pet care experience. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I currently have 3 dogs, 1 cat, and 5 chickens of my own! My experience goes far beyond caring for my own pets. I’ve worked at two dog daycares and as a groomer, where I gained experience caring for dogs with a wide variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, dogs with intense anxiety, and dogs who need a little extra patience, reassurance, and one-on-one attention. I’ve also administered medications and am comfortable following specific care instructions to make sure every pet gets exactly what they need. I have extensive experience with cats as well, including kittens, senior cats, cats requiring medication, and even feral cats. I’m FetchFind certified, which taught me a lot about animal behavior and communication, and I’m currently completing two animal behavior certifications through Washington State University, where I’m learning more about animal behavior, including both canine and feline behavior. I especially love working with animals who need a little extra love and understanding. Whether your pet is nervous, elderly, energetic, shy, independent, or simply takes some time to warm up, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and give them the individualized care they deserve. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your animals like they’re my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, enrichment, and care! 🐾❤️ I’ll be attending school part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule to dedicate time to caring for your pets. I’m able to work my school schedule around my pet-care bookings and make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m looking forward to spending my free time with your babies, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, enrichment, or simply keeping them company! 🐾❤️ When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, playtime, enrichment, and any specific routines or preferences your pet has. I’ll give them plenty of attention and companionship while also respecting their space if they’re more independent or need time to warm up. I’m also very respectful of my clients’ homes. I’ll keep things clean and tidy, make sure doors and gates are secure, and treat your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Since I’ll be attending school part-time, I’ll have plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to your pets and make sure they aren’t simply being checked on, but are receiving meaningful one-on-one care throughout my visits. 🐾❤️
“Jennifer and Champ we amazing staycation friends for my pup, Scout! He was so happy and well cared for while I was gone, and Jennifer's proactive communication and pictures of Scout really helped reassure me that he was in great hands! We can't wait to invite them back next time I need puppy care :D”
“Penny did an amazing job with our anxious rescue dog. She was patient and let Lucy approach her in her own time and went above and beyond to make Lucy feel safe and secure. We will definitely be requesting her for future jobs. Thanks, Penny!”
“Megan did a great job of taking care of Sadie, my high energy Australian Shepherd! She also was a wonderful communicator, responding promptly to any texts and setting me at ease by sending lots of pictures of my spoiled girl! I have already re-booked Megan for our next getaway.”
“Brieanna did a wonderful job taking care of our pets, including 2 cats and a large fish tank. As a house sitter, she kept our home in good order and was great about sending us updates daily so we knew our fur babies were being well taken care of. It made it much easier to enjoy our vacation knowing everything at home was in good hands. She’ll be our first choice for the next trip we plan!”
“I definitely would recommend Bronwen! She communicated well and took such great care of my pets and house. I loved receiving pictures of my animals throughout her stay.”
“Jordynn was an amazing house sitter and wonderful with our two large dogs and two cats while we were away. She was very communicative, reliable and our animals loved her. We will definitely contact Jordynn again in the future.”
“Stephanie was very communicative and took good care of my pup and house. The place was clean upon my return and my dog seemed to be very happy spending time with Stephanie. Highly recommend”
“Alyssa stayed with my needy little poodle mix and also my son’s active golden retriever for a long weekend. Both dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we came on and the house was clean and tidy. I would totally have her come again!”
“We could not have asked for better care. It was immediately clear that Russ was attentive to all our pets' needs, and he communicated every step of the way with such thoughtfulness about the details that it's obvious he's not only an animal lover but an all-around compassionate person. We had such a tall order to fill — in particular, it included care for a frail senior dog who required constant supervision over long days. It was such a comfort to know he was in Russ's calm, capable hands, ready for whatever snags came along. This was Russ's first booking but he is clearly a ready professional.”
“I have used Erica for drop ins and home sitting and will gladly do so again in the future. She is kind, communicative, and takes excellent care of my pets. They are happy and at ease with her and I feel great peace of mind knowing she is there.”
“If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would. Megan went above and beyond for our pups and we are so grateful to her for showering our pups with love while we were away. Great communication, left the house spotless, and sent pictures every day. We will definitely contact her again for any future needs.”

If I could give Taylor a bonus 6th star, I would! She is a stellar sitter. She shows up on time, send tons of great pictures and updates without being too chatty OR too little info, and is a great communicator. She proactively let me know when supplies were running out and needed a restock. More than anything though, when she didn't have experience giving insulin injections, she was happy to learn and took it on like a pro! I was so impressed how she jumped in with both feet and a positive attitude. While I was away, a neighbor texted me they had spotted my dog on a walk with her and he looked "happy as a clam!" Sure enough, when I came home, my typically anxious dog was relaxed and content. I know she took fantastic care of him and can't wait to book her again!
Cessily did a great job taking care of our two dogs for two weeks. One of our dogs is a senior and requires extra attention due to his health needs, but Cessily did a wonderful job following all of our instructions and giving him the extra care and attention he needed. She was very communicative, friendly, and always punctual. She also left our house clean and tidy. We really appreciated how well she cared for our dogs and would highly recommend her!
Annika used to watch our elderly dachshund and is now helping us by staying with our dachshund puppy. She is extremely reliable and willing to go the extra mile with a higher maintenance little guy. She provides excellent communication as well. We feel so fortunate to have found her, I always feel comfortable leaving our pup in her care.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Wauna walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Wauna maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Wauna 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!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
