“Bridget was great with Suzette. She is a big girl and is sometimes hard to handle. It was apparent that Bridget is a professional and great with dogs. Thank you Bridget. Will use you again.”



“Ari is great with our two big dogs. They can be a lot to handle on the leash. Ari not only manages them but makes it look easy. Sends great pics and really loves the dogs. Highly recommended!”


About: 【Pet Care Experience】 I care for every animal as if they were my own and always strive to make them feel safe, seen, and loved. I was actively involved in an animal protection society for 3 years, where I helped rescue and foster sick or abused cats and dogs. In August 2022, my friends and I discovered 42 abandoned breeding cats in a closed pet store in Guangzhou—we organized their rescue and successfully found homes for them. I personally fostered and rehomed 5 cats and 2 dogs. Currently, I volunteer at a local shelter 1–3 shifts a week, helping with dog walking, kennel cleaning, and matching pets with potential adopters. My experiences have allowed me to work closely with animals of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. ———————————————— 【Schedule】 I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the care and attention they deserve. I usually offer drop-in visits and dog walks between 6:30am and 6:30pm. If my calendar shows availability, you’re more than welcome to book. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and will care for yours with lots of love and attention. Before booking, we’ll set up a meet & greet so I can get to know your pets better and make sure everything goes smoothly. ❤️ ———————————————— 【Safety, Trust & Environment 】 I understand that being away from your pets can sometimes feel difficult. I provide updates with photos and care details through the Rover card after each visit. If you’d also like video updates, just let me know and I’ll be happy to send them separately, helping you stay close and reassured while you’re away.☺️ While I don’t host pets in my home, I’m here to care for your pets right where they feel most comfortable. Whether they need companionship, hand feeding, medication, or special attention, I’ll look after them with patience and genuine care. ————————————————

About: I have a deep well of patience, understanding and affection for your pet. When I am interacting with a dog or cat, they recieve my sole and loving attention. I can't wait to meet yours! I am a retired teacher so I have a lot of management skills and am supremely responsible. I am a retired teacher so I have a ton of time. I am moving from managing teen agers to having loving interactions with pets. I am a single woman in my 50's with no pets of my own, so I am very available to care for your animals. Since I have been back in the USA after teaching overseas for years, I have taken care of and house sat for many people who were pleased with my services. I would love to get to know your animals and make them feel safe and secure while you are gone!

About: I've been a pet lover since I was a kid. I started with frogs, lizards and snakes, and graduated to cats and dogs. Until I was able to have dogs of my own, I spent over 10 years pet-sitting for friends and family, volunteering in animal shelters, and have even worked in 2 seperate doggy daycares. My MO is always long walks and lots of attention. I have 2 dogs of my own, a cumulative 17 years of pet raising experience. I have experience caring for sick pets and administering medication both orally and subcutaneously. I've had my pups since they were young and would consider them very well trained. If you're looking to work on certain behaviors, I can absolutely work on that during their stay. I have a fenced yard, a safe neighborhood for long walks, and for longer stays, expect your dog to enjoy a nice hike! I mostly work from home, so your dog(s) would never be alone and would have access to my fully fenced backyard whenever they want. During the week, I can do a long walk during my lunch break, and another after work. Weekends I tend to go hiking, so if your pup enjoys nature, they will for sure have a great time. My yard is fully fenced, and I have 2 friendly dogs. Safety is paramount, so dogs would be supervised while in the yard together. If your dog requires a crate, I have both a plastic and soft sided kennel for indoors.

About: With over 30 years of experience as a pet owner of both cats and dogs, I’ve naturally transitioned into pet sitting and house sitting for others—starting with friends and family, and growing through word of mouth to care for pets of friends of friends. I’m a lifelong animal lover who takes pride in providing loving, reliable care for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s a short visit or a long-term stay, I follow instructions carefully, maintain a clean and tidy environment, and prioritize clear, consistent communication with pet owners for total peace of mind. I currently work weekends only 12-8pm in Olympia so I am free around those hours and all week long! I am available for drop ins as well as overnight stays. I take great pride in caring for my 11-year-old rescue cat in my apartment, creating a calm and nurturing environment tailored to her needs. From maintaining a clean, cozy space to providing regular meals, playtime, and gentle affection, I ensure she feels secure and loved every day. This same level of attentiveness and compassion extends to the pets I care for in other people’s homes. I prioritize each animal’s comfort and routine, while respecting the owner's space and preferences, fostering a sense of safety and trust. Whether it's feeding, administering medication, or offering companionship, I approach every pet with patience, reliability, and genuine care.

“Paige has been awesome. Very dependable and our Basset, Maddie loves her walks with Paige. I booked a couple of days to start while my wife was hospitalized and I was spending long hours there. I have now booked a second week, two walks a day because Paige has proven to be excellent!”

“Helena takes the best care of my dog! She always makes time for her in her schedule. I always look forward to the updates she sends me after her visit”



“She is so awesome with my dogs. Always communicating if anything is going on. My dogs love her so much. We bumped into her at the dog park and they were so excited. I’m so lucky she walks my dogs for me.”



About: Hey there, my name's Beka and I love critters of all shapes and sizes! Pups hold a special place in my heart. I raised and trained several dogs growing up, and I've spent a lot of time petsitting breeds of various sizes and energy levels throughout the years. That work has included care for litters of young pit puppies, sitting and assisting in the training of a deaf Australian shepherd pup, plus walking dogs of all ages and providing more laid back companionship to elderly canines. I'm comfortable and competent administering medicine and eager to learn the individual needs of your dog. Currently, I live a house with 3 cats and a frog. Other animals I've 'sat' include cats, rats, snakes, and chickens. There's no critter I wouldn't want to meet! Currently I work part time as a Barista and have mostly open availability Sunday through Thursday. If you work long office hours and need someone to get your pal out to stretch their legs, we could be a great fit! Please note that on workdays (thru-sat) I am not available 7:30am-4pm. I take a conscientious approach to house and pet sitting. Your home is your personal space and it's important to me that you feel respected.

About: * summer is here and I still have a few openings left so book asap! Also... I know it seems too early and sunny to think about the holidays, but I usually book up months in advance so reach out, even if you don't have exact travel plans, but know you'll need pet care. I currently have Labor Day already booked, but mid November - New Years is pretty much open, except one booking in Dec. Check my updated calendar. My dog care experience spans all ages and breeds. I know puppies are more work, but I enjoy working with them on leash and obedience training to maintain good habits while their people are away. I have experience with giving daily medications and have cared for senior dogs, one who needed daily blood sugar testing and insulin shots. I live mobile between pet sitting gigs staying with friends and family from Marysville to Olympia. I started pet sitting for clients when I was house cleaning during the time I was in grad school. Because I was already working in their homes and had biweekly interactions with their pets, it was an easy transition to pet care. It was also during this time that a couple of professors inquired about pet sitting. I was a backup for one of thier regular sitters and the other, I'm still their regular sitter 7+ years later. I care for your pets the same way you would. They like to sleep in the bed with me? Cool. They need extra outside play time or walks to keep their anxiety low because you're gone? Done. I am very intuitive to reading their energy and do everything I can to meet their needs. Do you have some anxiety about being away and want pictures daily? Got it covered. My experience with house cleaning also menas I take care of the spaces I am staying so I am happy to water house plants and take care of gardens if needed.

“Maycee has sat for us twice now and takes great care of our large shepherd mix. Grateful for her attention to detail and punctuality! Veda always seems happy and relaxed after a visit with Maycee.”


About: I have taken care of all types of dogs since I could remember! I’ve never known life without a furry companion by my side and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am a nurse by day trying to cure my burnout by caring for your furry friends! I am an excellent communicator and I will keep you informed every step of the day. I just moved to the area with my two Australian Shepards and a cat. My schedule is completely open right now and I’d love to take your furry friend on an adventure while we explore our new neighborhood! I have a fenced in backyard that backs up to nature trails. We have pet cameras so we can always keep a watchful eye on the animals and we love walking around and exploring new areas! I can really provide whatever environment your dog/cat will do best in!

Wildbood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lauren was wonderful with our dog Millie. We had her come a couple times a week prior to our trip to get to know Millie and it worked out great. Lauren communicated very well. She was on time for every walk and followed instructions as there were a couple changes along the way. Gave daily reports and pics which helped. Thank you Lauren for being so great with our fur baby

I am so appreciative of Rachel, she is fantastic with my ball of energy and gives wonderful updates, I always love reading them and seeing pictures. I have peace of mind knowing that my pup is taken care of so I can focus while I'm away from home. Thanks so much!!!!!!!
