About: I’ve been caring for dogs and kittys since I was a kid and I absolutely love every moment of it. Friends, neighbors, and family always trust me with their fur babies because they know I give them tons of attention, love, and patience. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or bath time, I make sure every pet feels happy, safe, and completely spoiled while you’re away. Even though I’m in school I make lots of time for pet care. I’m available after 3pm on weekdays and completely free all day on weekends so your fur babies will always get attention love and consistent care. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I keep a safe clean, and cozy environment, and I always supervise outdoor time in my fenced yard.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 13 years since I got my first dog. I have 2 now, and spent years as a foster for Wags to Riches pet rescue. Numerous family and friends have also relied on me to care for their pups. I work full time, so starting out doing this on weekends. I hope to expand to local walks on lunch breaks or after work on weekdays in the future! I have a fenced in back yard for pups to play. My 3 dogs are friendly and used to having other dogs come and go.
“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!”
About: I’ve had pets all my growing years, cats and dogs. I fostered a lovely dog in 2019, then adopted a pup early 2020. Trained and loved by myself ❤️ my partner and I adopted another pup in 2022, Ginny, and they are the best pair! I love all pets and will take care of yours like my own. I am currently not working so have a pretty open schedule! Week days during work hours are best, but am also available during the evenings and weekends. I have a condo that allows pets with a fenced-in yard, and also love to run and explore outside. So if you like your pet to exercise and adventure, I can safely provide that. Otherwise, am glad to entertain and take care of them in your home.
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. If you’re looking for someone that’s enthusiastic, reliable and will treat your dog as their own, you’ve come to the right place! 🐶 I currently work from home full time, so my schedule is very flexible and most of the time I am available to provide my services. I’m always keeping an eye on your dog to make sure that they are safe and happy. When outside I will keep them secure on a leash at all times.
“Stefani is great! We have four cats, and one of them needs insulin twice daily. She made house visits while we were gone, and everything went well. We came back after a week to find them healthy and happy. We would definitely trust Stefani and recommend her.”
About: I absolutely love dogs and have one at home however, cannot afford to adopt one while I am at school. My hours are flexible and I love the outdoors so your pooch will definitely get some exercise. I have lived around dogs all my life and am very comfortable with them. I have about 8 years experience of dog sitting for my neighbors and family members. I worked in a spay/neuter clinic as an assistant for two years and volunteered at a wolf dog sanctuary for three years. I have my own car so transportation is not an issue. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding my profile. Thank you. I am available Friday through Monday and most evenings Tuesday through Thursday. I am a student so my schedule alters slightly due to classes or additional seminars however, I will adjust my availability throughout my semester accordingly. I first and foremost want to establish a good relationship with the pet I am caring for. This may take time but I am incredibly respectful of a pet's boundaries and will do my best to make them feel comfortable around me. I first want to greet the pet and ensure that they receive a good amount of attention prior to walks, and feedings. I then proceed to allow them to go to the bathroom before continuing my visit. I always ensure that I am giving the animal the proper attention. This includes asking the owner what are their pet's likes and dislikes. I then wish to go over any boundaries the owner may have. I always to try to ensure a great experience and limit disruptions in the pet's routine.
About: “I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. I’ve always been around them and loved taking care of them when family and friends have asked! I work part time at the moment so I have extra time on my hands to spend time with furry friends! I’m always available with a couple days notice! I have 4 dogs of my own all trained super well! They are all crate and potty trained. I have a fenced in back yard so playing outside is a breeze
“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!”

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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.

Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
