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

About: I’m a 19 year old college student who has always loved animals. I currently have a dog and a cat of my own, and I’ve helped care for pets for friends and neighbors over the years. I have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, including puppies, and I’m comfortable administering medications when needed. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. As a college student home for the summer, I’m looking to spend extra time doing something I enjoy while earning additional income. I currently work another job, but I’m available most mornings before 9 a.m., after 4 p.m., and completely free on weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide reliable care for your pets when you need it. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and experience caring for both dogs and cats. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, whether that includes feeding schedules, medications, walks, or special care needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own animals.

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.

“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.”

About: I love dogs and have over a decade of experience caring for them! Most of that experience comes from growing up with my own dogs and living around them as an adult. I will take your dog on walks, let them out frequently for potty breaks, feed them during their feeding times and make sure they always have water in their bowl. Most importantly, I’ll make sure they get lots of attention! Be sure to let me know of any other requests you may have.

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!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Yakima stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Yakima with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
