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

My yard is regularly checked for hazards, and I'm experienced in handling various pet behaviors to ensure a safe environment. I'm committed to providing a stress-free environment and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay.
About: I am a dog lover, comitted to giving the best care possible for each individual. Enriching their everyday lives with activities, scents, play and affection is very satisfying for me.

I have a fenced yard and 2 housemates to help love all the critters. We are under a mile from Randall Dog Park. My dog is a super social rat terrier mix, who just loves everyone.
“Logan was fantastic! Scout absolutely loved her and she gave him lots of love and TLC and totally wore him out playing ball while we were gone. At one of the visits, the electricity was out in the neighborhood so the garage door would not open. She immediately contacted us and waited until she heard back from us to leave for her job. We really appreciated all her help and give her our highest recommendation. She’s the best!!!”

“We had a change of plans and needed a sitter; Kamren helped us out and was able to get my shy kitty to warm up to him too! He sent me plenty of pictures showing how my cats were doing and he was good at responding back. Would definitely have him watch my babies next time we need a sitter!”

If your have any restrictions on where your pet is allowed to go in your home, just let me know and I'll make sure they don't get too adventurous when you're out of the house!

“Haley's service exceeded our expectations. We asked her to drop in on our pets twice per day while we were on vacation. She proved a genuinely caring person and thoughtful pet-sitter. Her communication was thorough (she asked questions, clarified info, and gave us thorough updates). Her warmth and respectful manner was consistent, and we felt completely safe with her being in our home. We are so grateful! Thank you, Haley!”

Yakima dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah was on time, very communicative, and kept us updated with pictures, meal details, potty breaks, and notes on the app during each visit. Seeing our dog happy and smiling in the photos gave us peace of mind while we were away. We were very happy with her care and would definitely book with Sarah again if her availability fits our schedule. We highly recommend her!

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!

I cannot say enough amazing things about the care Axel received—absolute top-tier experience from start to finish. From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable, attentive, and genuinely caring hands. Axel isn’t just any dog—he’s my Doberman, my sidekick—and I’m very particular about who I trust with him. This sitter went above and beyond in every way. Communication was consistent and thoughtful, with regular updates, photos, and little details that reassured me he was not just being watched, but truly cared for and loved. Axel came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well-exercised—which says everything. It’s obvious he was treated like family, not just a booking. The attention to his needs, his personality, and his routine was spot on. If you’re looking for someone who delivers professionalism, reliability, and genuine heart—this is your person. I would trust them with Axel again in a heartbeat. Absolutely exceptional
