“We booked Felix on short notice for evening daycare, and he was very thoughtful in assessing whether our dog would be a good fit for his setup. We really appreciated the detailed updates and feedback throughout the stay. Felix has a strong understanding of dog behavior and group dynamics, which gave us peace of mind, and our somewhat nervous dog seemed to fit right in with his pack. Thanks Felix!”


“Anand was great with Lucy. She was very excited to meet him from the meet and greet and then for the actual stay. He sent pictures of their walks and just lounging around his apartment. I would definitely recommend him as he is a very good sitter.”

“Elise is the best! Super communicative, adheres to all instructions, and most importantly she’s a really kind human. Elise takes great care of our dog Reign, who gets so excited as soon as we pull up to her door! Elise has been flexible with our timing and easy to work with. We are thrilled to have found her in the Rover network!”

“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!”

“Such great pics and communication. We really appreciated being able to drop our pup off early and for the park meet up ahead of time. Thank you so much!!!”

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! 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! :)
About: We’re Cecilia and James, a dog-loving married couple who’ll treat your pup as part of our family so you can have an amazing and worry-free time away :) We have 2 dogs of our own, Mushi and Nemo, who’ll be your pup’s roomies for the petsit. Our dogs are super sweet, easygoing and have been very socialized to all shapes and sizes of dogs over their lives — they love furry friend sleepovers :) We live in a spacious and cozy home in a very quiet neighborhood so your pup will feel right at home. We each have 10+ years of dog care experience. As pet parents, we strive to be the ideal, no-stress sitter we’d hire for our own dogs on a trip away: highly-communicative, responsible, send lots of updates + photos/videos, and love visiting pups like family. We have had some not so great experiences with some sitters in the past, so we know exactly what makes pet parents worry while they’re away from their pups. **We can also video chat so you can see and talk to your pup while you are away :) We’re both also deeply passionate about dog welfare: we have transported dogs across the country to rescues, helped re-home dogs, and taken care of sick and injured dogs. Dogs are so very dear to our hearts and our dream one day is to open a dog sanctuary somewhere in the world where all dogs there can be safe, healthy, and happy. 💙 We work from home and are able to take the dogs out every few hours! One of us will always be home to care for your pup :) We live in a spacious townhouse that’s very open layout and in a quiet neighborhood. While we don't have a yard, we have very lush surroundings, so plenty of sights and smells to take in for your pup!
“Dylan was very responsive and took great care of June. She was so excited to see him, I could tell she’s in good hands. Dylan took her on a few nice walks and she got to see the Cherry Blossoms bloom too”

“Tiffany took great care of my dog. I was so thankful that she was willing to watch him despite the early drop off and late pick up my job requires. She was great with communication and sent me pictures of him throughout the day. I can tell he had a great day because he didn’t seem to want to leave when I picked him up 😂 I would absolutely recommend Tiffany for any dog sitting needs.”

About: What sets me apart is my background as a teacher, which brings patience, reliability, and strong communication skills to every pet-walking experience. I also have 8+ years of hands-on experience caring for my own special needs Great Dane, giving me a deep understanding of large breeds and pets with unique requirements. I treat every animal like family and always go the extra mile to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a work from home teacher, my schedule becomes much more flexible during the summer, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and energy to pet care. I love incorporating it into my routine; it’s a rewarding way to stay active, spend time with animals, and provide dependable, thoughtful care when pet owners need it most. I am strictly just walking dogs at the moment. But my dog is treated like family and that’s the same way I would treat your dog. I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, and affection. I’m attentive to pet’s needs, whether that’s exercise, or extra cuddle time, or maybe a break for water. I follow any specific instructions from owners, and ensure pets feel secure and loved while they’re with me.
“my pups had such a great daycare stay with julie! julie was great with communication and photo updates throughout the day, and penny loved her playtime with julies pup kingston! will definitely book julie again for daycare needs!”

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.

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. For daycare and boarding, I strive to create a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where your dog feels like part of the family. I'll follow your pet's routine as closely as possible and provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. 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.”

“Minha is the best dog sitter I've found on Rover! My pup also thinks so and is always excited and pulls to got spend time with her and Rio. Minha is very responsive and always thoughtful about having the best environment for my dog. I love the updates and pictures during the day as well! Owner and dog approved!”

Kathryn was great with my dog Zeppelin. Zeppelin can be a little dramatic and anxious when being dropped off but Kathryn took him out for a walk to keep him busy and helped him settle in for his stay. She shared photos and was easy to communicate with, I'll definitely be rebooking with her for future stays!

Julie was wonderful with Tuna! She watched her for the day, kept me updated throughout with messages and photos, and made me feel completely at ease. Tuna came home happy, relaxed, and very sleepy, which is always a sign she had a great day. We’d definitely book with Julie again. Thank you so much!
