“Chris has been absolutely amazing. I just moved from across the country with one of my three dogs, and he has been having a hard time adjusting to apartment life (aka screaming his head off). After I got an email from my property manager after my first day of work I was frantically looking for a sitter for the next day. Chris was not only able to accommodate Casper the following day after my request, but also last minute on a weekend for an event I was hosting. I cannot thank Chris enough for his help and for putting up with some of Casper’s antics.”

“Rose took wonderful care of my dogs, Pablo and BooBoo, during the day. She was incredibly flexible—there were times I had to pick them up late due to work, and she was very accommodating. She even provided a daycare card with pictures each day. I will definitely turn to her again for daycare or dog boarding. Thank you so much!”
“Greatly appreciated Laila's photos, feedback, & the care she provided for Numá during his stay. I feel confident in recommending her service & will definitely use it again when the need arises. Thanks again for your kind assistance!”

About: I cared for my own two cats for over 5 years (they’ve since passed), and I’ve always loved being around animals. I’ve lived with dogs (thanks to dog-loving roommates and family) and I’ve dog-sat for friends for many years. I’m an expert cuddler, feeder, walker, and all-around caretaker. Whether your pup loves playtime or prefers a calm, cozy environment, I’ll treat them like family. I work hybrid, so I’m home most days, and my husband is also home most days. Between the two of us, your dog will always have company, we make sure pups are never left alone for more than 3 hours at a time. We have two kids (5 and 2), so we need dogs who are very kid-friendly and can sleep through the night. If you’re unsure about either of those, our family might not be the right fit. I’m especially great with affectionate dogs and seniors who need a little extra care and patience. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and belly rubs while you’re away! (Additional note: I’m happy to board larger dogs, as long as they’re older and super mellow. As a short woman, I just want to make sure I can stay in control on walks, and with small kids at home, I’m mindful about dogs who won’t jump up or accidentally knock them over.) I work hybrid, so I’m home most days, and my husband is also home most days. Between the two of us, your dog will always have company and they will get lots of love & attention. We make sure pups are never left alone for more than 3 hours at a time. Overnight Stays: We have two kids (5 and 2), so we need dogs who are very kid-friendly and can sleep through the night. If you’re unsure about either of those, our family might not be the right fit. Doggy Daycare: Happy to host your dog during the weekdays, and provide plenty of cuddles, company, and walks. In my home, your dog will be treated like family! They’re free to roam the house, lounge on the furniture, and cuddle up with us. We have a large, almost fully fenced yard with plenty of space to explore and play (while we keep a close eye during outside time just in case). We also have great walking paths nearby for daily strolls. Whether it’s playtime, nap time, or cuddle time, your pup will get lots of attention and love throughout the day.
“They were excellent hosts, clearly our lil guy had such a nice time with them, I’ll definitely reach out to them if I were in town again, and need someone to take care of Olaf! The entire family engaged with Olaf and kept him company, can’t recommend them enough!”

“Todd is awesome! He’s very detail oriented and listened to all of our tidbits about Ziggy before caring for him. He kept him active all day and spoiled him with the dog park, walks, and treats!”

“Derek takes such good care of my pup! I have an opinionated husky girl. Because she doesn’t like to be left alone, I often lean on Derek to watch her. Yesterday they spent 3 hours outside and Aurora was happily exhausted when I picked her up.”

About: Hello! I have been dog and cat sitting for at least 20 years and have several active clients in Seattle currently. I have previously worked for a dog walking and sitting business in Maryland. I have cared for puppies from 6 months through to senior, special needs pups. While no one enjoys it, I am comfortable giving pills, injections, and other medications to both cats and dogs. In my dog walking business I have walked up to four pups at the same time. I love to go on long walks, even in the rain and wind, and can throw a ball for hours! I will take care of your home and your pup with the utmost respect and love. I am a home owner with two kitties and a toddler. We are working on getting them all comfortable with dogs but for the time being we can only subject them to guests for 4 days in a row max (or they may never forgive us). While I haven't found the perfect pup for my life yet, I am very excited to be able to share my house with dogs of all ages for short stints while I'm searching. I work from home and can let pups out to go to the bathroom as needed. I love a lunch walk to get me ready for the afternoon. I have a fenced yard and a patch of grass for regular bathroom breaks. The staircase is gated so we’re always within eyeshot of any canine visitors.

About: Hi! I’m a work-from-home dog lover offering doggy daycare in a home with a fenced backyard and a playful Golden Retriever. Your pup will get lots of attention, outdoor breaks, and playtime throughout the day. My three year old golden retriever, Almond, is very hyper, friendly, and always excited to meet new dogs, so daycare is best for pups who enjoy socializing and playing with others. What your dog’s day looks like • Morning introductions and playtime • Backyard potty breaks and fresh air throughout the day • Toys and enrichment activities • Afternoon naps and relaxation time • Lots of supervision since I work from home I also send photo and video updates so you can see how your dog’s day is going. My experience Friends and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their dogs, and I treat every pup like part of the family. My goal is to make daycare feel like a comfortable home away from home. Meet & greet I’m happy to set up a meet and greet to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone! 🐾 Looking forward to meeting your pup! I work fully remote Monday–Friday, so I’m home throughout the day and able to give dogs plenty of supervision, attention, and playtime. Dogs can go outside to the fenced backyard for potty breaks and fresh air whenever they need. Because I’m home most of the day, daycare fits naturally into my routine and I’m able to keep a close eye on all the dogs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I keep daycare small (just one other dog) so every dog gets plenty of attention. My home has a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, and dogs are always supervised during play. If dogs need space to rest, there are cozy spots inside where they can relax.
“Eric has been great with our Dog Big Mama. She is usually very nervous with new people and places, but she warmed up to him immediately. Eric is super responsive and took amazing care of her while we were out of town for the week. We have rebooked with Eric multiple times and he has become our go to dog sitter. I would highly recommend Eric and just wanted to say thank you for being so great with our dog.”

“Jerry was thoughtful, communicative and did a great job caring for my dog! My dog is an escape artist and I felt comfortable leaving her in his care because he has a secure backyard, a double gate system by the front door, and was diligent about keeping her safe.”

When I realized as I arrived that the girls trip was at an apartment and not a home, Carlos and Kelly legitimately saved the day. I was worried about my pup being overwhelmed with the noises of everyday life in a building while we were away on outings. With literally no notice we were able to set up a meet and greet and instead of changing the entire trip, or me being overwhelmed worrying, my dog had a blast with them at day care for the entire week. It felt like leaving him with friends, he was so regulated and relaxed in their home. He walked in like he had been there a million times and was a worn out baby at pickup. I was so well informed and got some awesome pictures that I will be saving. On top of that, Carlos worked with Jasper and experimented with different training to help me with his energy and excitement, an added value well above what I invested in Jaspers care for the week. I will be booking with this lovely pair every visit into the city going forward and they are very appreciated.

Nyah had a great time with Kevin! She instantly liked him at the meet and greet and Kevin sent lots of pictures of Nyah on walks, cuddling and looking very comfortable and happy during her stay. Kevin was very accommodating when our travel plans changed unexpectedly. We will certainly book again and would highly recommend.

Rose treats Daisy like a part of the family. There's not a second that I worry about how Daisy is doing. I know she's getting the perfect amount of exercise, cuddles, naps, and even play dates with other dogs from time to time! We're so grateful to Rose for her huge heart and for giving Daisy so much love.
