“Taya did a wonderful job checking in on my senior cat while I was on vacation. I do not use Rover often and still find it a little strange, but felt very comfortable with Taya after our first meet. She kept me updated and sent pictures. My cat was happy, fed, and had a clean litter box when I got home. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have been caring for dogs for over 14 years. I have 2 now, and have fostered for Wags to Riches Animal Rescue for over 10 years. Family and friends also rely on me to care for their pups. I work full time from home. During the work day I am able to monitor the dogs in my home and let them outside as they need or want. I have a secure fenced in back yard for pups to play. My dogs are friendly and used to having other dogs come and go.
About: I've taken care of many types of animals all throughout my childhood and as an adult I've volunteered with rescue animals for 2 years. I would frequently train, feed, walk and bathe animals. As well as provide support for many of my rescues with fostering and providing a positive environment. I work full time overnights Saturday-Tuesday but on my days off I stay home the whole day so I have plenty of time to care for pets. I have a fenced front yard. 1 cat and 1 dog to keep your animals company. Both are well behaved and get along great with other animals!
About: I’ve had a love for animals since I was a little girl. My mom has always had a love for cats so we got to raise multiple cats and their kittens growing up. When I was 6-8 I finally got the responsibility of my own dog. It was a huge deal to me and taught me so many things I’m glad I was able to learn at a young age. Animals are a huge responsibility, from health to sensory play to ensure the animal is as happy as can be it’s all a big deal to me. When I was 18 I started to work for another at home pet care service and learned even more useful things. How to administer medecine, how to care for senior dogs and their special needs, and how to love and take care of any animal as if it was my own. At 20 I got the pleasure to work at PetSmart Pet Hotel , although it was short lived because of my living situation at the time it taught me a lot. I got to work with all kinds of different dogs and cats with different temperaments and medical needs. From some of the most viscous dogs to the sweetest ones , I always strived to make all of those animals happy as long as they were with me Animal care fits into my everyday life. Having 5 dogs and 2 cats, may seem like a lot to some, but being able to give a home to all my animals while making them happy is such a treasure to me. I have a fenced yard and 5 loud but friendly dogs and 2 cats. My dogs eat on a twice a day schedule to help them stay on a routine and not be all over the place. I take all my dogs (except for the senior) on walks either daily or a few times a week if we chose to do longer hikes at Deep Lake. I strive to keep all my pets happy, clean , and respectful
“Samantha got on great with my three dogs, one which could be rude to new people. They had all their needs taken care of and Samantha was great at communicating and sending updates. She went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend her.”
“We have booked with Carol 3 times now for multiple drop in visits throughout the week and could not recommend her enough! She is punctual and thorough with her care for our fur-babies. It’s truly so nice to have someone we can trust with our pups and have peace of mind that they are well cared for when we can’t be at home with them. We will definitely continue to rebook with Carol going forward!”

About: Hello! My name is Taylor and I have always been a huge animal lover. Growing up we always had many pets, and I would often spend my weekends and holidays sitting for friends and family. I have a lot of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and life stages, and especially with blind and deaf dogs. I have a 6 year old Golden of my own who adores other dogs and cats, and tennis balls of course. I work from home and recognize that others may not have this option, so I wanted to open up my home to provide a caring space for other pet owners when needed. I have a fenced in back yard but take my girl out often throughout the day to one of the many parks that are very closeby. Working remotely means I am also flexible in my hours and am able to offer walks and drop ins as needed, always giving each pet as much attention as I can. I treat every animal as I would my own and understand how difficult it can be to be away from them. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. Looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged friend soon! Weekends work best, but can entertain on weekdays. Can have up to two more pets to continue the same exercise/play schedule I have for my own pet. I have a laid back dog. I will be around in the mornings and evenings to feed, play and clean up after. With permission, I would love to take your fur baby on walks, hikes, or to the dog park to get some energy out and for mental stimulation.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Yakima
Sara was amazing! She was so kind to the animals, I could tell in the pictures and how they were reacting to her. She showed up every day as expected, at the time agreed upon, and stayed her entire visit per the check-in/check-out and the door camera. I would gladly hire her again when needed!
From the very beginning Samantha has provided excellent care and concern for my dog. She took extra time and consideration since this was the first time leaving my pet. I loved her thorough reports each day and I didn’t worry about my dog once. Highly recommend!

- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Yakima 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.

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 .
