“Finding someone you trust with your dog isn’t easy, but Grace made it simple. She is organized, reliable and experienced. Our dog warmed up to her immediately. She asked the right questions upfront and sent updates after walks / boarding that put us completely at ease. Highly recommend!”
“Rachael was able to take my pup last minute after another sitter cancelled on us. She was so great with our very energetic pup. Thank you so much for the time, care, and attention you provided to Harlan! Would definitely book again!”
About: Dedicated dog lover - whether your furry companion is a playful youngster or a distinguished senior, they'll receive my full care and attention during their stay. Currently, we have no dogs, so your pup will receive plenty of one-on-one time. Our home provides a warm, comfortable environment where your dog can relax and feel safe while you're away. All guests must be potty trained. I look forward to meeting your canine companion and making their stay a tail-wagging experience they'll love! I work part-time from home, and will be available for dog walks, belly rubs and backyard excursions throughout the day. My flexible schedule ensures your pup will get plenty of exercise, affection, and outdoor time while in my care. I have a fenced yard, love taking walks with dogs - whether that's one longer walk or multiple shorter walks, whatever it is they need.
“Teddi had a wonderful half-day spent at Mimi’s! She can be pretty skittish with new people, but when I picked her up, she was jumping back to Mimi for more hugs and pets!! Mimi is very communicative, warm, welcoming and eased my worries. Teddi can’t wait to come back and hang! 🩷”
“Tomas is a great host! Very accommodating for my two senior golden retrievers on short notice. Excellent communication and a warm atmosphere. Will absolutely be booking again. Thanks Tomas!!”
“Awesome first time experience. I would wholeheartedly use and recommend Matt. He is very serious about taking care of your loved one, he does not just say that. He was awesome about a meet and greet beforehand, very easy to set up. That was invaluable as I was not certain about my little girl with big dogs. There was initial nervous but they all adjusted to each other. I bring Mia in large dog park areas and knew she would be fine with others. She just needs more confident that other dogs won't step on her and get her voice. Matt was very communicative and helpful. Sending photos and videos for the short dog sitting stay with him. A good sized backyard. Plenty of space to chase. I bought a blanket and food in a fish just in case she was hungry.”
“Samantha took our sweet puppy when we needed a sitter last minute. Cosmo came home so happy and tired out from the fun day he had. I received updates that were appreciated and even a photo of our dog SMILING with his new friends. Thanks again for everything!”
“Kimberly was awesome. Super accommodating and very helpful while I was trying to find someone. She took in both of my dogs and took them on walk during their stay. I’m so grateful to have found her. Thank you Kimberly!”
“Beau is kind, flexible and professional. Both my senior dog and my 7 month old pup went directly to him-exhibiting no separation anxiety at all. He took very good care of both dogs and worked-happily-around my complicated schedule. It was reassuring to trust that my dogs were getting top notch care!”
“Our first Rover appointment for our young puppy and it couldn't have been more comforting to see the great pictures and update from Kelly. Looks like he really enjoyed his visit. We'll definitely come see Kelly again! ?”
About: I have been taking care of my own and my friend's pets since I was 10 years old. I have experience with cats and dogs from different sizes and ages. At the moment I live with and take care of my sweet Filipa. I currently work from home self-employed, so I have plenty of time, willing and flexibility to care for cat or dogs, besides my own kitty. I have a spare guest room if your pet needs to stay with me. I will walk them and feed them according to your directions. They will be sharing the house with my cat. I can also visit your pets at your house or walk them as needed.
“Kim was absolutely wonderful! Pickles immediately wagged his tail when he saw her for the first time and did not hesitate to go inside for his first day. Pickles has an insane amount of puppy energy, and Kim was incredibly patient with him. He looked so happy at pickup. Kim sent me pictures of Pickles and his new friends. Looks like he had a blast with the other pups. We will be back! We have already rebooked :)”
“Amazing! Very responsive and communicative - Lorrie messaged me photos, videos, and kept in contact throughout the day to let me know Birdie was safe and having fun. I highly recommend 😊”
“Maria is so kind and caring. She understands dogs and has been extremely patient with our energetic puppy!! She sends photos throughout the day and is an excellent communicator. Would recommend her to anyone.”
“Erika was amazing with our girls! As a helicopter puppy parent, she was fabulous about sending lots of pictures and videos while I was at work to get me through the day. We will definitely see Erika again soon, they had so much fun!”
“Marni was great! Easy communication, friendly, knowledgeable, a great listener. I was comfortable leaving my dog with her and my trust was well placed. When I picked up my dog he was happy, silly, and his usual self. Just like I left him. Thank you Marni!”
About: After losing my beautiful 11 year old Bernese, Indie, caring for other dogs is my way of honoring the love that I lost. I provide a quiet home with a fenced yard, daily walks, playtime, and lots of love. You get peace of mind. Your dog gets comfort, stability, fun and attention. You can travel worry-free, knowing your dog will be in great hands. I work from home Monday through Friday so I’m always available to keep your dog company and to go for walks. I typically walk each dog 2-3x daily. I have a fenced yard and live a block from the beach near Alki point. I can only accept dog non-aggressive dogs without major separation anxiety issues.
About: Hi, I'm Thuy ("Twee" or Nikki). Former social worker and teacher, now a stay at home mom working part time on my art program for neurodiverse children. Animals are my other love! I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child, but more so recently after leaving my career. As a stay at home mom, I have the extra time and attention to care for your pet. And I will love them as they are a part of my family! Since we don't have pets, Rover has been the next best thing to happen for us. We've bonded deeply with the ones that we've had the chance to care for and are so grateful. Co-regulation happens. Safety happens. Play happens. We really enjoy every experience. As a neurodiverse family, it's been so healing for our brains and nervous systems. I am at home full time 7 days a week. If I'm not doing home duties, I am spending time with my kids outside. I have two boys ages 5 and 7 who I homeschool. They are sweet boys and love animals as well. We'd love to have a companion to join us on our walks and small adventures (if that's their thing). Otherwise, staying in is so nice too - we love doing art, making food, and having company at our cozy home ❤️ We have AC for the hot summers for added comfort. I have most experience with small dogs that require gentle care, administering medication, and providing care for their special needs. I am at home full time 7 days a week. My husband is a small business owner/chiropractor with very flexible schedule so if I need to run errands, he takes over. Someone is always home so your pet will never feel alone. As a trauma survivor, I know firsthand how essential providing safety is in building trust and a good relationship. Providing the environment for rest and play is secondary but equally as important. I strive to make every pet comfortable in our home, respect boundaries, and cater to their specific needs.
“Samuel and his partner were wonderful with Bodie! Communication was great and we got lots of updates throughout the day. We would love to have Bodie stay with them again.”

Elizabeth was truly wonderful with my dogs Sniff and Chuy. Sniff is a very anxious rescue and this was her first time staying with someone outside my family, so she needed time to settle in. Elizabeth handled her with so much patience, care, and understanding. She sent plenty of updates and photos, which helped me feel at ease the whole time. Chuy adored her right away, and by the end Sniff warmed up more and made some progress. I am so glad we found Elizabeth! She will be my first choice for any future dog sitting :)

Joline is a wonderful sitter! She is incredibly responsive and sends many updates throughout the day. As she has her own working breed dog, she is used to providing plenty of exercise and mental enrichment. Obi absolutely loved his day with Joline and Fil. He came home a happy, tired dog. Would absolutely book again!
Emma is incredible with Oogie. From pickup to drop-off, the whole experience feels smooth, thoughtful, and grounded. She sends fun photos from throughout the day, which gives us an extra sense of ease, and Oogie comes home happy, fulfilled, and wonderfully tired. You can feel that Emma brings real care, presence, and attunement to what she does. She creates a day that feels safe, joyful, and well-held for Oogie, and that means a lot. We will gladly book with her again.
Hachi has stayed with Lorrie and Andrew a few times now and Hachi is always excited when he gets to come over. I get photos/updates throughout the day and appreciate that when I’m missing Hachi at work, I feel comforted knowing that he is in wonderful hands🩵 At the end of the day, I can tell that Hachi had a fun and great time over! :)
Thank you Vicky for having Hachi! He came back home a happy pup after playing all day. Thank you for the photo updates and for reaching out when you had concerns or questions. You were very communicative throughout the day and I also appreciate being able to have a meet and greet beforehand. We look forward to seeing you again :)
Michelle was wonderful! She took great care of my puppy, gave him lots of attention, and was very attentive to his needs. She sent me updates constantly throughout the day and always let me know when something was happening and she needed help. I appreciate the amazing care she provided for Alfie and will definitely reach out to her in the future! Thanks Michelle 🩷
Alessandra was wonderful! She sent lots of photos throughout the day and took the time to make sure Bodie was fed after struggling with picky eating! He got lots of cuddles and got to play with her pup all day. I would love to have Bodie stay with her again!
