Top rated Ballard doggy day care sitters
“Felix was lovely to work with and took great care of our dog Reign! We received regular updates, photos, and videos and felt comfortable with Reign’s introduction and play time with Felix’s dog, Mabel. We definitely hope to work with Felix again in the future and would highly recommend his care!”

“Sofia has been wonderful with my shy guy dog with separation anxiety. Her adorable dog, Dona, has such great calming energy and seems to be a great friend and mentor for my dog. Sofia is great with updates and communication, and is a natural dog person. I’m so grateful to have found her!”

“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!”

“My 7 month old goldendoodle, Koda spent the day with Dylan while our yard was going through an extensive overhaul. Koda had a great time with Dylan. He took walks and enjoyed playing at the park. Koda is definitely looking forward to seeing Dylan again!”

“Brandon and Ashley took great care of my pup on short notice. He was clearly happy in their care and was pretty sad about having to leave! Much appreciated and hope he gets another chance to visit them”

“SJ is a blessing! My little beagle spent the day with her and had a blast. Within 10 min she had calmed his nervousness and mine. Her updates made me smile and reaffirmed that Knox is in the best possible care. Thank you soooo much SJ!!”

“Minha and Rio are the best! Our pup is quite nervous and can be reactive to new strangers, but she loved being with Rio and Minha. Minha provided lots of photos and updates. She also was very patient with our pup and took the time prior to the day care to understand any special needs our dog had. Our pup can’t wait to go back :)”

“Such amazing sitters! Poppy just loves it there - it’s a wonderful, relaxing place for her to thrive while I am at the office. Thank you so much Mike for the great care!”

“Devan was awesome! Great communication and a natural at connecting with dogs and keeping them engaged. Benji did not want to leave! We hope to see Devan again!”

“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!”

“Kristen was amazing with our newly adopted shelter pup! We did a small meet & greet the day before and after I dropped my dog off, she provided picture/text updates. Not only that, but she helped bring the dog supplies and bed back to my car since my hands were full. First time using Rover and was definitely nervous especially since we only had Saber for about 2 months; but she set the bar at a great height.”

Ballard dog parents share their Rover experiences
Luciana was simply amazing. She took the time to meet our puppy in advance and consider fit with other dogs she watches, then took amazing care to integrate him with her "pack". She was extremely communicative and shared many pictures each day. She was very thoughtful in getting to know our dog and provide conditions and guidance that brought out the best in him.

Katie was wonderful and super flexible with lots of last minute changes on my end. My dog isn’t very interested in other dogs, and she got along great with Katie’s dog. I felt very comfortable with Katie watching my dog and will be reaching out to her in the future.

Felix is definitely the best! He’s a true professional when it comes to dogs and really understands their behavior and needs at every stage of life. My baby girl, Yuna, is still a puppy and definitely requires extra attention, but Felix did an amazing job with her. I truly think she had so much fun spending time with Mabel and the other dogs. Sometimes I felt like she didn’t even want to come back home! 😊 He sent the best pictures, detailed Rover cards, and thorough updates about how her day went, which gave me so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and caring dog daycare provider, I highly recommend choosing Felix. Yuna and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! 🐶

Tobias was excellent, very responsive to messages, and kind and flexible when the timing for drop offs and pick ups varied occasionally. The most important thing, however, is that Devi seemed to really like him, giving a foot-lick on greeting and happily trotting off with him. I will definitely use Tobias again for my next visit to Seattle.

Heather was AMAZING. I have only left my dog with someone once before, and saying I was very nervous would be an understatement. Heather answered all of my questions and addressed all of my concerns. She made me feel super comfortable, and I know my dog was in good hands. She sent me pictures and videos throughout the entire stay. I will definitely be using Heather again! Would highly recommend!

Yoly was so wonderful with Jack. He came home happy and exhausted from a fulfilled day playing with her pup. So grateful she could take care of our boy for a special celebration in our life that Jack could not attend. She sent many pictures and lots of feedback!
