“Charles was spectacular! He was so kind and understanding of my worries as a first time rover user. He eased my mind with pictures and constant reassurance through messages. If you ever need a sitter I highly recommend Charles and will book again in the future:)”


“We boarded our dog with Kimberly for the first time and it was a great experience! Kimberly was very communicative and I could tell our pup was well cared for. We received photos showing our pup having a great time out in the yard and playing with her dog. We will definitely board with her again!!”


“Mark was great. He provided lots of pictures and videos. Leisel got to go hiking, multiple walks and played a bunch and overall an amazing experience. I would recommend Mark to anyone. Will definitely be a repeat when I need it.”



“Brynna and her husband are AMAZING!! This was the first time I was away from my puppy and he looked so happy the whole time. I got him home and he has been passed out!! He got so much energy out and was able to be socialized with their hilarious chewy. Will absolutely use them again!”


“It was my dog Tucker 's first time with a pet sitter since moving to Washington just two months ago. He recently developed very bad separation anxiety so I was nervous about how he would do on his stay. Needless to say he didn't even care I was gone and had an absolute blast! Highly recommend Carly, and Tucker will absolutely be staying with her again soon.”


About: I have had animals my whole life, particularly cats and dogs. I am comfortable working with medium and large breed dogs, high energy pets, senior animals, or pets with medical needs. I have helped family and neighbors care for their fur babies and would love the opportunity to help others! I specialize in caring for senior/special needs pets. I had two cats with varying degrees of kidney disease which required special diets and constant monitoring. They made frequent messes so I'm not afraid to clean up pet accidents. I'm happy to help any animals that need some extra care. I am available most weekends and holidays to care for your pet. Dogs staying at my house get potty breaks as often as possible. There will be lots of playtime and naps for both dogs and cats throughout the day. Dog walks will take place when the weather is decent and typically in the afternoon/evening. If I go out for errands, dogs are expected to stay in a crate (exceptions are considered. Please reach out for more details). Any animal that stays with us will be treated like family. Meet and greets are highly recommend for all services to make sure owner(s), sitter, and animals feel comfortable with one another. Dog Boarding/Day Care: I have a large fenced yard and three high energy pups that would enjoy having new friends to play with. I have lots of toys from stuffed to plastic to rope toys to keep them entertained. Dogs should be crate trained in case I need to leave for an errand (exceptions are considered. Please reach out for more details). Dogs must be okay around cats as they may interact with them when they are in the house. Dogs MUST be okay around children as I have a toddler (the child will never be alone with the dog). Dog Walking: We can walk around the neighborhood or go to a park. I will NEVER go to a dog park. I will only bring my dogs along for a walk if approved by the owner. Vaccines: All animals that enter my home must be up-to-date on vaccines. Dogs MUST have rabies and bordetella (kennel cough) vaccines. Owners must provide vaccination records for confirmation. All animals must be treated for fleas and ticks (as a precaution). This is a year-round requirement. I highly recommend Elanco K9 Advantix II for dogs. If needed, I can provide the medicine and apply to the pet for an additional cost (please reach out for more details). Drop Ins: I'm happy to stay for as short or long as needed to take care of the pet (feed, water, potty break, scoop litter box, administer medicine, etc.) and give them attention.

“Beth is a fabulous dog sitter/boarder. She took such great care of our dog, sent pics, and communicated daily. She responds promptly, is very personable and kind, and our dog had a great time at her house. We won't consider going to anyone else!”


About: I have a loving home with 2 friendly, adorable dogs and 1 friendly cat. I take good care of them and also love the animals we come across! I work a normal Mon-Fri day job and am available outside those hours. I am caring and detail-oriented. You will be happy with the service. I will give pets the attention they need; including food, cleaning, walking and love. They will be happy with the environment that I provide them.

“This is the only sitter I would ever take my dog too! My dog absolutely loves it at this sitters house especially since he gets to be around her other 2 dogs, My dog always comes home happy and tired thankfully, I’ve never had to worry about my dog with this sitter!”


“On our second time booking with Enrique, Athena remembered how well she liked it there. She cried to get off the car and went straight into the house like it was her second home. It made us feel good that she was happy to come back. We will book again soon, for sure!!”


“Terry and Fernanda are great! My dog was happy and well cared for. He had a couple of other dogs to play with which he loved. They took great care of my dog and I'll definitely take him back.”


“Our pup had a great time. We got updates with pictures throughout the weekend we were away. He didn’t make it long in the car before falling asleep on the way home. We will definitely be using Jen again in the future!”


“Emma was amazing! She took great care of our small Yorkie. Her dog Dottie was super sweet and it was nice for Sofie to have a friend. She also gave us lots of updates and was great at communicating daily. Next time we are in town and need a sitter I wouldn’t hesitate to use Emma again. Thank you!”


About: I'm kind towards all animals and I feel a deep sense of responsibility for those in my care. I currently have a small dog. Check the pictures here. I'm retired and available to watch a dog or two in my home. I would be able to give your dog my full attention for most of the day. The dogs I watch will be inside with me or if the weather is suitable in my fenced backyard. The yard is fairly small and well shaded.

About: Hi my name is Sarah! I am passionate about providing top-notch care to your pets. With reliability, good communication skills, and a deep seated sense of responsibility. I am here to ensure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve. When you entrust your pet to me you can rest a short that I will treat them as if they were my own. I believe in clear and open transparency when it comes to communication so you can expect regular updates be it medication. exercise. or cuddle time. I’m an early riser so I would be happy to take your pet out first thing in the morning or in the evenings when it’s cooler I have a three-year-old, fully vaccinated, Shepherd mix named Osa, she is shy, crate trained, and well behaved, and a nice big yard. If your pet is staying at my house, I am happy to follow as closely as possible whatever your established routine would be

Juliet was absolutely great with my dog! My dog loves being around children, and she had a great time with her family. Communication was smooth, updates were prompt, and I felt good knowing she was in a fun, safe, and loving home. I could tell she got plenty of attention and playtime. I’d definitely book with Juliet again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
