“Kilah was AMAZING!! Our two Australian Shepherds absolutely loved her :) She provided very detailed updates each day along with the cutest photos! She also took excellent care of our home, and we would love to have her watch our fur babies again in the future!”



“Jean did a great job taking care of our fur babies! I know because they were SO excited to see her when she came by to return our key. And the puppy whined by the front door after she left (but not for too long!!).”


“Lindsey was so helpful in making sure our dogs felt comfortable with us out of town! One of our dogs needs some supplements and medication and she made sure that he was well taken care of everyday. She made sure to pay attention and spend quality time with them and give them potty breaks when needed! We also really appreciated all the pictures (: Highly recommend!”


“I almost hate to write this, because Karen may get so busy that I won’t be able to book her! I can’t say enough good about her. Probably the best part was that she had my really anxious/antisocial pup relaxed in no time—and it was July 4. Fireworks going off all the time. Karen sent me updates and pics of both dogs on a regular basis. I do believe my house was cleaner than when I left it. Karen even contacted me for pooper scooper info. Wonderful energy. She is “the dog whisperer.””


“Rachel took great care of our 3 dogs while we were out of town. We really really appreciated Rachel’s great communication, comfort with anxious dogs, cleanliness, and attentiveness toward our dogs with different needs and personalities. We enjoyed a worry-free vacation. Thanks for taking such excellent care of our pack, Rachel.”


“Cory is absolutely amazing. He stayed at my house for 8 days with my two King Charles Cavaliers, one is blind. He took such good care of them and sent me a lot of photos and messages. They were so happy when I got home and I don’t think they even missed me! I definitely recommend Cory you will be glad you did.”


“I have a reactive dog who struggles to meet new people, especially men. And wow! I was totally blown away by how Robert used such confidence and gentleness with my dog. He was able to snag Winston to the dog park for the first time in years successfully. I am honestly so grateful and surprised to have found such a solid dog sitter. I cannot recommend booking him enough!!”

“Jessica is amazing with animals! Her heart is beautiful and kind and my pup is always so happy to see her. I'd highly recommend her to anyone wanting their fur baby to feel loved and cared for while their parents are away.”


“I was able to make a last-minute booking with Alina and Amiran for the same evening, and they were incredibly responsive and accommodating. They took such great care of my dog, who has separation anxiety, and made sure he felt loved and comfortable the entire time. They gave him lots of attention and even took him on a nice walk (pictures and videos also provided), which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. Highly recommend them!”


“Evan was great with our cat, Blueberry, while house sitting. He hung out with him for a long time, played a bunch, and send us lots of pictures and videos. Evan was quick to respond and left the place clean. Highly recommend.”


“Kalyn was a wonderful dog/house sitter for our two Ausiedoodles while we were out of town. She’s great with communication, dependability and animal behavior/handling. We have a dog with special needs and she was respectful and thoughtful with his specific care instructions. I look forward to Kayln watching our dogs and house again.”


“Samantha is the best! She took care of coco and my house so well! She provided updates and pictures. Spent so much time and cuddles with coco. She is my new favorite dog sitter.”


“Julia looked after my cat and was accommodating when I had to request a few more days. She did an incredible job ensuring that my cat had everything she needed to make her feel comfortable. She is reliable and communicative and I will definitely book with her again in the future!”


“Katie was absolutely incredible with our boys! She was communicative, timely, and professional. She both exercised our active dog and made cuddle time for our gentler dog. Really appreciated her helping us over the weekend and highly recommend!”



“Bryan was amazing, both with Suki and with us! We have never had a house sitter/dog sitter in our home, so it was understandably a little nerve wracking to let a stranger over. But Bryan was a class act, gave us so many funny updates, and left the house cleaner than we left it. Suki was so happy to see us, and clearly very at ease and well taken care of. We will absolutely have Bryan over again to take care of Suki and our home!”



“I can’t say enough good things about Kim. She asked a lot of great questions, shared updates and kept in contact while we were away and we came home to a happy pup! I would completely recommend Kim and absolutely book her again in the future!”


“As always, Amy took great care of our fur kids! Suki (our dog) was having tummy troubles so we needed someone to watch her & get her out for frequent potty trips while we were away at work for the day and Amy made sure she was well tended to. Thanks, Amy!”


About: We are a dog loving family and lots of playtime is guaranteed. We live in a large house with lots of space to run and play, inside and out. I’ve had dogs for over 30 years, small and large, young and old. We own two dogs; a boy Chase, and a girl Phoebe, both very friendly and playful. My 4 children are between 15 and 22 and love all dogs and will give lots of love and attention all day long. We are very flexible and will accommodate most requests (administer medication, special diet, separate dogs if needed, etc). Daily visits to Marymoor dog park. Crate available if needed. Potty breaks every 2-4 hours. Any breed/age/size welcome as long as they get along with other dogs and are potty trained and not aggressive. I am a stay at home mom so at home weekdays and weekends. We do regular potty breaks as needed and visit the dog park daily. We have a large unfenced yard. We will keep your dog leashed when outside unless they have great recall and we have your permission to let them run freely. I am home 90% of the time so lots of time spend with the animals. We have a routine of potty breaks, walks, meals, play time, and rest. We can accommodate any reasonable special requests, aside from normal care, walks, etc. Just let me know how to best take care of your pet and we will make it happen.

About: I love getting to meet and hang out with so many different types of animals thanks to Rover! Your sweet four legged family member will be the only other animal in the house with Shadow and I. I am comfortable sticking to a schedule and administering medications. Your pet will get morning and evening forest adventure walks, can enjoy being inside or outside keeping me company when I'm working in my fully fenced backyard. Consistency, love, attention and play will be delivered! There are no crates or cages at my house, if your pet needs/likes to sleep in one please bring it. I have a sweet, well trained and active 8 year old English Shepherd who has arthritis. She has since she was 1 year old. She enjoys dogs who are smaller than her and she is a very shy, submissive girl with other dogs. We recently lost our family member Bruno (a cat) to a heart condition and I am not ready to get another pet family member yet, but I would love to care for yours! Shadow likes having friends stay over! Shadow and I are happy to house sit for you too, but we come as a pair! If it is your first time booking with me, I like to schedule a meet and greet ahead of the stay. This way when the stay begins, everyone is acquainted and happy to see each other! I also use this meet and greet to learn about likes, care needs, commands, and things to watch out for. I only care for pets that are housetrained and sleep through the night. Thank you for understanding! Shadow and I go for a two daily 30 minute walks in the forest. We go outside for walks in all weather! We might also have a few shorter walks in the neighborhood as needed. Shadow gets fed twice a day with clean bowls and regular fresh water. I keep animals separate when they're eating to ensure everything stays friendly! If your dog requires a slow feeding bowl then please bring it, otherwise don't worry about bring food or water bowls, I have plenty! I can provide potty breaks every 4-8 h. I live in Holmes Point and my neighborhood is surrounded by greenbelt, we walk in the forest everyday. I have a fully fenced back yard. Pets are family members in my home :) I'm happy to give your pet specialized care if required. My only condition is your dog must be dog friendly and I prefer not to take care of larger high energy puppies. I will only board one family's pets at a time. If you have multiple animals please let me know! I am comfortable with caring for Sphynx cats. I have owned them before and I love the breed. If you need me to watch your little one for a long time we can discuss your personal grooming requirements.

Jana S.
“Jana is one of the most loving, dedicated and responsible pet sitters I've seen. She truly treats your pets like they were her own. She handled my two VERY needy senior pets (16.5 year old lab, 18 year old cat) without any issues. I think they were disappointed when I came home and she left! Not only were my pets happy but my apartment was spotless when I came home. I would let her watch my crew any time!”
