“We're so happy Mimi has a comfortable place to stay with people who enjoy her company. She's a shy dog, so it's great that she was able to settle in cuddle with new people. Many thanks!”

“Kevin is a very responsible sitter. He made sure that he understood our dog’s habits, routines, and personality. He communicated well and sent several photos a day. We felt very comfortable having Kevin watch our dog!”

“My 2 year old Springer Spaniel Boxer mix, Edie, had a wonderful time with Jana and her family! When I normally leave Edie at her doggy daycare to travel, she barely eats and seems anxious when I come to pick her up. Not the case this time! Edie ate all the food I had packed for her along with all the treats! She loved running around and puppy style wrestling with Hazel! Jana gave me updates twice a day with pictures and videos of the ladies playing. I truly do believe that Edie had a dog vacay with Hazel and Jana!”

“Erin and Kevin were just the best! This was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous using internet strangers as dog watchers. Erin suggested a meet up before and left me with zero worries. Our dog was so well taking care of with daily photos and check ins on all their walks and play times. Will 100% be booking with them again on our next vacation!”

“Tomas took such good care of Brady! He kept us updated with pictures, and Brady loved all the play time and snuggles. Everything was very smooth, even with our last minute booking, and we appreciated how he went above and beyond!”

“Devan was excellent with Pepper, and was extremely meticulous in his communication. We received constant text and photo updates during his stay and that’s one of the most important qualities when caring for a pet.”

“Mimi was great at communication and had a lovely space for my dogs to play. Her own dog and another dog from daycare wore out my 2 little fur babies and from the pictures and videos I received, it was clear they had a great time. I would rebook without and concern and highly recommend.”

“They were so good to our dogs and gave us so many updates. They were also super communicative which was really appreciated. If the timings work out again we would trust our dogs with them in a heartbeat.”

“Theresa Ann took such good care of our pup and was very communicative with updates and photos while we were away. Lucy came home with the biggest smile on her face, and she can’t wait to hang out with Theresa Ann again!”

“Matt has watched our senior Greyhound, Hazel, a dozen times now, and I wanted to make sure to give another review. Matt is an incredible resource for our dog, and I'm so grateful we found him. Greyhounds in particular can be a tricky breed to deal with, especially when they're old, and Matt has been nothing but patient and kind with her through thick and thin. His love for all dogs is something else, and it shows in how he takes care of all his clients. We'll keep coming back! Thanks Matt :)”
“Michael was an amazing sitter for my dog and communicator for me!! We had a last minute schedule change and were traveling to Seattle unexpectedly. Michael was so helpful and accommodating to make this work with less notice than usual! He was prompt and communicative sending me pictures of Sox updates along the way. His dog Ellie was very chill and seemed to get along with Sox great. I definitely would (and will!) work with Michael again!”

“Brantley was fantastic! I was a little nervous leaving my dog as we just moved to Seattle. He kept me updated through the weekend and sent plenty of pictures. We really appreciated it!”

“We left our dog Charlie with Danielle and Joy for 4 days. We had a nice long conversation at the beginning about what Charlie's needs are and they were very willing to handle that. We let them know Charlie is a cuddler bug, can't eat chicken and hated other dogs and they were very respectful of all of those. They have a place for the dog to play, they sent loads of pictures and Charlie looked extremely happy in all of them even though he normally is very sad when he's away from us. They had treats to offer him and played with him and walked him on a regular basis. 10/10 on everything. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who needs a sitter.”

“Megan was fantastic with Finn! Truly went above and beyond with giving his medications, cleaning his ears since they were itchy, and take him on fun adventures. He had so much fun and felt right at home :) thank you Megan!!”

“Samantha was absolutely wonderful taking care of Teddy. Teddy had lots of fun playing with Samantha, meeting her friends and taking very long walks with her! Samantha was so patient with Teddy when he was first nervous. She sent me consistent updates on Teddy & each time, it looked like he was having a blast. In fact, after she took care of Teddy, Teddy & I ran into her on a walk and he was soooo excited to see her again. Definitely recommend Samantha - she was kind, responsive, and made Teddy feel right at home in her place.”


“Gregg is so kind and awesome with doggos! He was great with Leo, giving him lots of walks and time playing with the ball. Gregg shared regular updates and it was clear Leo was in a safe, fun place. Thank you!!”

Nancy is GREAT! Trot had only been away once before, and we were worried that he'd be nervous. But Nancy greeted him with such enthusiasm and affection that he just ran right in and made himself at home. She sent lots of pics, responded right away, and kept him to his routine. Far from being nervous, Trot had a wonderful day!!

We were visiting Seattle from out of town and needed someone to care for our dog, Daisy, while we were on an Alaska cruise. We couldn’t have been happier with the care she received. From the beginning, communication was excellent, and we felt completely comfortable leaving Daisy in his care. He was attentive, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. We received updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. When we picked Daisy up, she was happy, healthy, and well cared for. Finding someone you can trust with your pet is priceless, especially when you’re traveling far from home. We highly recommend him and would not hesitate to book with him again if we’re ever back in the area. Thank you for taking such great care of Daisy!
We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for Rogue while we were away for the weekend. Lorrie and Andrew took such great care of her and made the entire experience completely stress-free for us. They kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated, and it was clear from every update that Rogue was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. As dog parents, it means so much to know your pup is being cared for by people who genuinely love animals. When we picked Rogue up, she was her happy self and looked like she had a great time. It was obvious she was well cared for and felt right at home with them. Lorrie and Andrew are kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with, and we would absolutely trust them with Rogue again in the future. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and dependable sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of our girl!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kevin and his partner, Kandice. Our French Bulldog, Bobo, is our child, and this was the first time we had left him since he suffered an IVDD flare earlier this year. Needless to say, we were incredibly nervous. Because of his recent health issues, he has a number of restrictions and special considerations to help prevent another IVDD flare, and Kevin and Kandice were so attentive and conscientious about following all of his care instructions. They immediately put us at ease and kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. Most importantly, it was obvious that Bobo wasn’t just being watched—he was genuinely cared for and loved. When we picked him up, he was happy, comfortable, and clearly had been very well cared for. As pet parents, that’s all you can hope for when leaving your dog with someone else. Kevin and Kandice are trustworthy, compassionate, and truly exceptional. We are so grateful for the care they provided and will absolutely be using them again. In fact, if they’ll have us, we’d love for them to be our permanent dog sitters. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of our boy. We couldn’t recommend you more highly. ❤️🐾
