“I messaged Winnie last minute and she was very quick to respond and accommodating. She was very communicative and took really good care of Archie. She was very sweet with him, and Archie had a great time! I’d definitely book with her again.”

“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!”

About: A life time around dogs turns into exceptional pet care. Growing up, my family always had a furry companion so I believe a happy home is complete with tail wagging. I work remote every day of the week except Wednesdays when I am gone from 7A-5P, while my partner is a caretaker and is home every day, so your furry friend is always in good company. Important hours 🦴 We are flexible and do our best to accommodate your schedule, if there’s a barrier we will communicate so. App communication hours are set to 9 AM–9 PM. Safety is a priority, our home is equipped with gates to keep pets away from the front door and stairs while they’re allowed to free roam the main floor. Your pal will enjoy a fully fenced yard of a split level, hardwood home with both grassy and paved areas, offering a variety of surfaces for play. Along with shaded trees and garden beds that provide plenty of natural scents to keep curious noses engaged to sniff and explore during supervised outdoor time.

“Dad was an amazing doggy daycare host for my 1 year old Golden Retriever. We recieved frequent updates with photos of her at the park and sleeping at his home on the couch. We would definitely make another request in the future. Thank you!”

“Lily had a great time at daycare with Lindsay and Steven! They have a lovely house with a yard for the dogs to play, and I could tell they gave great attention to lily all day.”

Michelle H.

“Absolutely fantastic daycare for my little pup Bella! She had so much fun and Caitlin was excellent in both planning and keeping me updated on how she was doing throughout the day! Would definitely recommend especially if you have a younger dog who needs a playmate during a long day at work 🐶”

Patrick G.

“Such a great first visit. Thank you for warmly and easefully welcoming Ernest over! He seemed to have throughly enjoyed himself, and the fact that I reached out to you for day care the day before and you said yes meant that I enjoyed myself with the things I needed to do while knowing Ernest was in good hands for the day.”

Cassandra E.

“Our dog Dany had a great time during her stay. Lesley was excellent in communicating how she did through the day, and took really good care of her. Lesley's dog Otto was also super friendly and Dany enjoyed all the play time through the day. Looking forward to more stays at Lesley's.”

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! :)

“Mana kept us updated for our first doggie care experience. Our pug came home happy and relaxed! We appreciate Mana’s professional demeanor and help as we navigate leaving our fur baby on travel.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have cared for dogs, cats, and even bunny rabbits. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small to large breeds. I’ve spent a lot of time around my family’s German Shepherd, which has given me plenty of hands on experience and confidence around high energy breeds. I currently have two cats of my own, so I’m also very familiar with caring for cats and all their different personalities and quirks! I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether that means going for walks, playing, keeping them mentally stimulated, or simply keeping them company while their family is away, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pets routine! I recently moved to the Seattle area and currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention! I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and accommodate specific scheduling needs. For doggy daycare, my property is fully fenced, including the front yard, so there’s an extra layer of security if pets are outside. I also have two cats who mostly keep to themselves and enjoy doing their own thing. If I’m doing drop-in visits or dog walking, I’ll treat your home like I would my own and make sure to leave it just as clean, if not cleaner, than I found it. I’m also more than happy to send photos and updates while you’re away so you know your pet is well taken care of! :-)

“Sparrow and Binbin are the best hosts ever! My pup had the best time with them! Sparrow is very communicative and and very kind :) 1000/10 will book again”

About: I have always intuitively understood and naturally connected with dogs throughout my life. I have personal experience raising my own dog from a 2-month old puppy to the well-behaved adult he is today. My balanced approach will allow your dog to have fun adventures, while establishing firm boundaries that they know not to cross. If you have any training you're currently working on with your dog, I'm happy to maintain it to keep consistency. Overall, I am a physically active person who will make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise and love! I already have an active daily routine with my own dog (walks, dog park, hiking, running, play dates) - I am capable of watching multiple dogs based on prior experience and currently have capacity to take on more through Rover. I currently am not working and doing school online so I should be home most of the time. A complimentary 30-minute Meet & Greet is required for any services that are for extended durations (daycare, boarding, and house-sitting) to ensure mutual fit for all humans and dogs involved...if an additional Meet & Greet is needed, it will be charged at my regular dog walking/drop in visit rates. The meeting spot will be at my home for daycare/boarding (your home for house-sitting). During this time, I will give a tour of my place and discuss the house rules - I'll also be making initial observations on how your dog interacts with my dog, as well as how they respond to a new environment. Dogs who defecate/urinate or are scared/anxious (shaking or hiding behind the owners the entire time) during the Meet & Greet are likely not a good candidate for boarding/daycare at my place and I would recommend booking the house-sitting service instead at that point. Similarly if you already know your dog is not consistently potty trained (needs to use pee pads/diapers, excited/scared pees, pees or poops to mark indoors), reliably crate trained (whines/barks/scratches in an enclosed space, needs to sleep in the bed with a human, require 24/7 attention, separation anxiety, etc.), teething/chewing things they shouldn't, excessive barking/whining and reactivity, etc. house-sitting be the best option for all parties involved. If the initial Meet & Greet at my place goes well, daycare services can now be booked. If you want to proceed with boarding, I require at least one daycare booking as a trial in order for me to monitor and assess your dog for a more extended period of time without the owner present. This will allow me to confirm your dog is fully potty and crate trained in my home, as well as no destructive tendencies/separation anxiety or excessive barking/whining/chewing. After the trial daycare, I will make a recommendation on if your dog is a suitable candidate for boarding at my home or if house-sitting would be a better alternative instead. Please know that this decision is strictly based on my professional opinion of what is best for your dog vs. financial incentive from my end. With house-sitting, I can take on dogs of all sizes as well as any cats that need care. For boarding, please provide your own crate/playpen so your dog is more familiar with it. To clarify, I do NOT plan on keeping your dog in a crate or playpen 24/7 like a kennel or larger boarding facility. However, if your dog is having trouble acclimating to a new environment (i.e. having multiple accidents or exhibits destructive behavior), they need to be crate trained as a backup. I will initially have them crated overnight and when I go out to run quick errands or am unable to supervise them - after they've demonstrated the ability for me to trust them, I will slowly give them more free reign and access to more sections of my house. It is in the best interest and safety of all dogs and humans in the environment to be more restrictive upfront (as well as protecting the home I own, furniture, and other property). For all my services, I will NOT be able to accept dogs with current/past history of aggression as I am not equipped/trained to deal with those types of situation from a liability and safety perspective.

“You can tell SJ really loves the animals and it shows - they love her back, and my shy dog made quick friends. It was clear my dog felt comfortable and had a good day with lots of snuggles and walks. She’s tuckered out. I’m already looking forward to having SJ care for my pup again! ❤️”
