“Mary was available to help with Evie on short notice which was very much appreciated. Evie had such a great time she didn’t want to come home. Mary was great, easy to work with around schedules. She took Evie for walks on Alki with her dog which was a special treat. Thanks Mary !”


About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I grew up surrounded by them, and over the past 30 years my husband and I have cared for four wonderful dogs. After the loss of our older companions, we found comfort caring for our friends’ and neighbors’ dogs. Our sweet girl passed away this year. Finding comfort in caring for all the Rover pups we have in our life. Spending the day on walks and hanging out with the dogs. I also love spending my downtime cooking and baking at home. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and energy levels. I started dog walking at age 11 and volunteered at our local Humane Society, where I learned grooming and pet care skills. I’ve also managed care for my own dogs through health challenges like congestive heart failure, Cushing’s disease, and seizures. When your dog is with me, they’ll be treated like family. Daycare dogs will get playtime with other matched friends. Constant care and oversight while they are with us for the day.
“Rachael is the absolute best! Quick to respond and keep me updated on my doggo with pics. It’s my first time using Rover and she made the experience a great one. She came in as a lifesaver when i needed a super last min sitter. She took care of my Luna like it was her own. Super recommend ❤️”

“This was our first time taking our 7 month old pup Frida to day care, and Kimberly made it an easy and stress-free process. She was communicative in scheduling and offered insights into how Frida was adapting. I appreciated her taking the time to get to know Frida before introducing her to the pack. Frida seemed to have a great time getting to know Kimberly and her pups. We will definitely be back :)”

“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!”

“Matt did an amazing job with my energetic 10-month-old pup! She came home happily exhausted after a full day of play with the other dogs. I really appreciated all the photos and videos he sent throughout the day—it was great to see her having so much fun. I’ll definitely keep using Matt for all our future needs. Highly recommend!”

“From the very first day, Maria has been so attentive and enthusiastic. Pickles is always ecstatic to see here. We also appreciate the framed photo of Pickles while he is still a puppy. Thank you Maria!”

“Eileen is super sweet, and I could tell Beemo was so loved during his stay! She was very communicative and sent photo updates. I’ll definitely book with her again!”


“My dog had a wonderful time at Kelly’s place! My dog is an escape artist and I appreciate that Kelly has experience caring for dogs who are like this. Kelly was very communicative and did a wonderful job caring for her.”

“Tomas was great with our boxer boy, Hank. Hank played all morning in Tomas’ yard, and he was tuckered out all afternoon. Tomas kept us updated with pictures of Hank playing hard and even a snuggle towards the end of the day. We will definitely reach out again when Hank needs another play day!”

“Julia was so sweet and accommodating for my first ever Rover experience with my puppy. She took such good care of my girl, was very flexible, attentive, and continuously updating so I knew she was adapting well. Will be a returning client!”

About: I have been a dog dad my whole life for multiple furry family members, and have been a trusted care giver to my friend's dogs throughout the years. I work fully remote from home, and love having a furry companion to help pass the day by! Walking helps me break up the day and enjoy getting to share that time with a pet. I have a fully fenced large front and backyard that allows for plenty of opportunity for your pet to stretch their legs and run around while they aren't out for a walk!
“Anaiya loved Rebecca and seemed at home right away during our meet and greet. When I took her back a couple of days later she happily ran up to the front door and welcomed herself inside. She got good exercise and was happy when I picked her up. Will definitely use Rebecca again, Anaiya is a big girl (95 lbs) so I’m a little picky about who I leave her with and I felt great leaving her here. Thanks!”


“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!”

“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 😊”
