“Felix is very organized and thorough. He's very thoughtful, knowledgeable and observant, I trust his conclusions on regarding how the dogs behaved. He's also very good about communicating.”

About: I am comfortable with any dog, no matter the breed, age, activity level, or behavior! If your pup is dog friendly come join us for daycare! I offer pack walks with my pup as well as solo walks! I have experience with senior dogs as well as puppies and various behaviors/temperments! I have volunteered with shelter dogs in the past as well as experience working in daycare facilities and grooming salons! I currently am working as a junior groomer and typically am home all day during my days off unless I have something planned! During daycare we spend lots of time playing and going on adventures! I have all the time and attention to give to the pups! I treat every dog like they are my own! I believe every dog deserves the most respect! I give the dogs the highest level of my attention! I make sure to keep pet parents updated with lots of check ins and cute pictures of their pup! :)
“Kristen is great! She helped me out for doggy day care when I was in a bind and needed some last minute help. She was very attentive to my dog’s special quirks and provided updates throughout the day. I felt at ease leaving my pup with Kristen for the day. Highly recommend!”

“Sofia was wonderful! She was super communicative throughout the day and was happy to accommodate some of the specific requests we have for our puppy around feeding and daily routines. We've found with our young GSP that not everyone is aware of some of the crazy that comes with high-energy breeds and puppies, but Sofia was fantastic. Our dog got plenty of exercise and activity, and we would definitely recommend her to anyone, especially if you have a working breed or younger dog.”

“Kiko had an amazing couple of days with Ms. Elise. She kept me updated with how the days were going and provided some great photos. We are looking forward to the next visit!”

“Julie is an amazing doggie sitter! Our dog loved going to day care at her place for the evening, while we went out to celebrate a friend's birthday. We got pictures and updates throughout his stay with her, they went on a walk, and when we came back we found him super relaxed and happy; us coming back for him was not a big deal for him, he had THAT good a time. Her home is really lovely too. Julie was also really understanding with our changing schedule the day of the stay, and kindly looked after Victor a bit later than originally agreed upon so that we could wait for my friend's birthday cake to arrive :) A truly fantastic experience!”

“Dylan was very accommodating and took lots of cute photos and videos of June. He also took her to a nice area where she could play with another puppy. June didn’t want to leave because she was having so much fun”

“we had a great experience with eric! He watched our two pups for daycare and was incredibly communicative throughout the day—sending lots of photo updates and checking in often. One of my dogs is usually very fearful of new people, but he was patient and kind, and she warmed up to him quickly. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We highly recommend eric !”

“Ayesha was so great! She was happy to accommodate a few last minute changes in our schedule, and she took great care of our dog! He had a great time with her. We hope we can have her take care of our pup again!”

“Poppy had a great time with Tiffany, and immediately seemed comfortable in her home. We booked her for Day Care as a trial before a big trip coming up, and we’re so glad we did; it went great! We appreciated the treats, toys, and questions Tiffany had when we arrived to make sure everything would go smoothly. She was very understandable about Poppy’s reactivity and checked in about her typical routines. Great communication and cute pics. Thanks Tiffany! We look forward to Poppy’s next stay!”


About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I understand that every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I currently have a 6-year-old Australian Shepherd, whom I've raised since she was 8 weeks old, as well as two cats. My Australian Shepherd is spayed and friendly with both dogs and cats, making her a great companion for visiting pets. Growing up, I also cared for a variety of animals, including dogs, chickens, a parrot, rabbits, turtles, and hamsters, which has given me experience with many different personalities and care needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've pet sat for friends' dogs and puppies. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or relaxing at home, I'll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they need. I also have experience administering oral medications and am happy to accommodate puppies who need extra potty breaks, structure, or a little more patience. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I'll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I’m currently studying for my pharmacist state board exam, which allows me to spend most of my fine at home and provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to maintain your pet’s normal routine including regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals and any medications they may need. I prioritize creating a safe and welcoming environment for every pet. While I do not have a yard, I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with plenty of opportunities for daily walks, exercise, and enrichment. I have a friendly social Australian Shepherd who enjoys being around both dogs and cats. I also have a crate for my dog if needed to help create a calm environment, provide personal space, or allow pets to have a comfortable adjustment period. I always supervise interactions and make sure each pet feels safe.
“We absolutely LOVED our time with Cheryl. She was so attentive to all of Millie’s needs and truly went above and beyond. She’s experienced, kind, reliable, and even spent time training Millie! We would definitely recommend her services and will be booking again.”

About: Hello! My name is Laney, I work from home and am based in Ballard. Growing up, my parents adopted several shelter dogs, so I have experience training and walking dogs with all different temperaments and levels of training. Taking care of animals feels very meaningful to me and I will always treat dogs with patience, love and respect. I currently work from home all week, so I am available everyday to walk and give attention to your fluffy friend. I am happy to follow any schedule your dog follows, and am familiar with giving medication to older dogs. I have a fully fenced backyard and also have a dog of my own (he's a 35 lb. cattle dog mix who likes other dogs). Pets will be in my eyesight when in the backyard and I only allow food to given in separate rooms to prevent any potential resource guarding issues. Currently, I am only taking one dog at a time (in addition to my dog) so I can devote lots of time to your pet and make sure they are safe and having fun.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ballard
Ravi was super responsive, and it seemed like Duke had a great time with him! He seemed very content when coming home and that signals to me that he felt was able to chill in a brand new space. I Appreciated the updates, and Ravi’s willingness to work my anxious lil guy. Looking forward to more bookings, thanks so much!

Andrew was great with our 13 year old Buddy. My daughter was getting married near where he lives and he picked Buddy up at the venue and dropped him off there when the reception was over. Thank you Andrew for letting us enjoy the wedding and know that Buddy was in good hands during the celebration.
Stephen made our first experience with Rover really seamless! We needed daycare for our dog Suki and she came home happy and exhausted from a day of play. We appreciated that he did a meet and greet to ensure that it was a good match. Communication was great and we really appreciated getting photos of Suki's play throughout the day. Overall I would highly recommend Stephen and his family!

Andy is so amazing! She is always so positive when she greets me at pick up and drop off. She was able to start watching my dog Obi on a short notice when my pet care method changed suddenly. She was accommodating and flexible with the hours based on my needs. She informs me of any changes in his health or behavior. She also tried multiple methods to make my anxious pup more comfortable with his separation anxiety. My dog absolutely loves her and I am so happy that I have her as a resource for my pet care needs. I would recommend her to anyone!
