“Best day care ever! My dog always has the best time and comes home happy and tired. She absolutely loves playing with the other dogs, and especially enjoys spending time with Lans—his favorite human after me ! Thank you for giving bella a safe, fun, and loving place to play!”

“I’m a repeat client of Chuk’s and couldn’t be happier with the care she provides for my senior dog. She’s incredibly kind, communicative, and always goes out of her way to make sure my dog is comfortable and well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing my pup is in such good hands. Chuk is also very accommodating and easy to work with. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter!”

“So so sorry for picking up Lulu late! Was hoping to leave Canada earlier, but wedding fittings took longer than expected. Thank you so much for watching Lu today!!! It was such a long day, but she looked so happy from the photos you sent throughout the day. She’s a happy and tired pup!! Thank you!!!”

“Gino is awesome! He's incredibly reliable and our dog, Brandi, absolutely adores him. Gino goes above and beyond to ensure that Brandi is happy, healthy, and well-loved while we're away. His communication is top-notch, and we always feel at ease knowing our pup is in his capable hands. His responsiveness is unmatched and I enjoy his updates of photos and videos that he sends throughout the day.”

About: I’ve had multiple dogs in my lifetime, and also dog-sit occasional at their home. I don’t believe in rushing animals, nor do I want to take care of more than two at a time. I want each animal to have enough attention to build trust between us. I am currently working part time, primarily remote, and enjoy being out in my yard. The floor plan is pretty open, but can be gated if necessary. I have a house situated in a small neighbourhood with minimal through traffic. I am comfortable with crate trained pups, as well as free roaming. I have two indoor/outdoor cats that have some exposure to dogs. Additionally, I am near the airport with an outdoor parking space available that you can leave your car on and use a ride share service to the airport for a small fee. If your trip is less than a week it’s $25, and if it is over a week it’s $50. The goal of the monies from this arrangement will be put towards getting the yard securely fenced! :)

About: We had our first crazy dog for 11 years. We've had our current old dog for one year, and have learned to guide him around through his failing eyesight. We will have the support and advice of one family member who has been petsitting for six years. I stay at home full-time. There are usually two to four people at home at any time. Our own dog is never alone. I am available for boarding any time, and having another dog or two occasionally will be a treat for all of us. We have a yard, but no fence, so we always use leashes when going outside. We have stairs that dogs will need to navigate. The light in the staircase is always on. We have an older dog of our own who cannot see well but loves other people and other dogs. He especially likes little dogs, but occasionally objects if they get too close too fast because he cannot see them coming. We have experience giving pills, eye drops, and ear drops.

“Brandon was easy-going, very responsive and took wonderful care of my large and super-active Lab! He sent me nice photos during the day and Atlas was tired and happy when I picked him up. I'd definitely go to Brandon again when in the Seattle area.”

About: Thank you for considering me. $20 discount for 1st time Rover clients! Please ask me for the promo code before booking with me. I have taken care of rescue and shelter dogs for the past 5 years. I have fostered many dogs with my wife and helped them find forever homes. Enjoy your trip and holiday while your fur baby enjoys a staycation with us. You will never be charged for a late checkout if flight is delayed or due to any other reason. I watch your pup closely through out the day and will send pics/videos to keep you updated. I have a fenced yard. I prefer a meet and greet session with my dog before finalizing the booking so that your pup gets familiar with me and my dog. I consider dogs as family and take care of them as my own. They are not allowed on sofa and beds and inside the kitchen. I walk the dogs twice a day with yard time at regular intervals depending on the weather. We avoid dog parks for our rover dogs. The daily hygiene routine of the dogs includes cleaning of eyes, paws, sanitary areas. If at any time, your pup gets sick, I will notify you and also connect with Rover vet. I can provide the pup with rice and boiled chicken in case of upset tummy. I can provide medication to your pup as and when required. Please make sure the meds are marked and labeled. I can provide with crate, blanket, bowls if necessary. I recommend providing big water bowls for larger dogs as I only small ones. Let me know about the commands or tricks your dog understands and the boundaries practiced at home so that we can do the same. My wife and I are currently working from home full-time. I will be attending to the dog full time and will be available to take for walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I have a fenced yard with outdoor camera. We have two fur babies currently staying with us now. We have crates to crate train the pup. On walks, the pup will always be on a harness with a leash.

“Jennifer was a lifesaver. My regular pet sitter cancelled on me last minute a couple hours before I was scheduled to be at work. I had to scramble to find another pet sitter on Rover. Jennifer responded quickly and was so accommodating. She had a scheduled doctor appointment that she went to early so she could take care of my dog. She even offered to pick up my dog for me to save me a trip since her house was in the opposite direction of where I work. It was stressful having to find a sitter for my dog last minute but Jennifer took great care of my dog. She sent photo updates and messages throughout the day letting me know how my fur baby was doing. I would 100% recommend Jennifer's services to anyone looking for an accommodating and caring pet sitter”

“Absolutely wonderful experience for our old girl! She went deaf this past 6 months so she gets anxiety attacks but Rikke had her settled and snoozing in no time. We went to visit my nephew at the WAMU when their band played and couldn’t be more grateful and appreciative of the texts photos and care. Thank you Best Westies!! And ZahZah enjoyed her treat you packed in her bag today :-) You’re truly the BEST!!”

About: I have 12 years of pet care experience. From having my own pets to volunteering at an animal shelter to then working in the vet field for 5 years and gained a ton of experience, skills, and knowledge on pet care. I can give medications. I'm also great with pets that have anxiety, PTSD, and/or dementia. I'm experienced with senior care and pets with disabilities. I'm dependable, responsible and reliable. Your pets will be given full attention and care with me! Currently not working in June and July so I will be home full time to watch and take care of your pet. I usually wake up at 7-8am and my bedtime is 9pm. The care I provide is pretty much the same when boarding or sitting. Two walks daily unless advised otherwise and can provide potty breaks whenever needed. For boarding I would prefer dogs to be well behaved, potty trained, crate trained and no separation anxiety.

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life! Growing up, I had dogs both big and small, as well as cats. Now I have a dog (June) and a cat (George) of my own. They are the loves of my life! I have experience with puppies and seniors, as well as administering medication to dogs and cats. I’ll treat your pet as if it were my own! I am currently in school, and it is self-paced, so my schedule is quite flexible! I can provide pet care basically any time, and adjust my school schedule accordingly. If I am caring for a pet in a client’s home, I will be sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, it is important that they are comfortable with cats and other dogs. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space to play!
