“Emily and Patrick were absolutely incredible with Isla! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Their dog, Winter, got along so well with Isla, and it was heartwarming to see how much fun they had together. They went above and beyond to make sure Isla was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We also want to give a big thank you to their son, who was so sweet and played with Isla! Their patience and attentiveness truly made a difference, and we couldn’t be happier with their boarding services. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!”
“My dogs had a wonderful time at McKenna's house! They got along great with Jaxx, and I could tell how happy they were from McKenna’s daily updates. Both of my dogs are seniors who need extra care and medication, and McKenna took good care of them. She was easy to communicate with and always attentive to their needs. Highly recommend!”
“Heather took excellent care of my dog. I appreciated her responsiveness to communicating logistics and the updates she shared while caring for my dog. I would absolutely recommend her.”
“Chris and his dog family are so sweet. His house isn’t far from where our dog goes on walks sometimes. If we’re in the area our dog now gets excited and wants to go back to that house. Safe to say, he had a great time.”
“Xiaomeng was awesome with my G. She had so much fun! I got videos of walks and “everyday” adventures. She loves being with the owners dog and playing in the yard. Xiaomeng and her husband welcomed G and she loved the TLC. Thank you so much. Highly recommend!”
“Sreymom was responsive and kind thought out all of my boarding process. My Aussie spent two nights at her place and came home happy, I feel lucky to find her on Rover.”
“Lena is so great! This is the 2nd time we book with her for taking care of our 2 senior pugs. They adjust so great to her family and the other dogs that she is sitting at the same time, that we even think they don't miss us at all. Lena is very communicative and patient with them, since they are old, and love her baby playing with them. When we pick Ramona and Rufián I'm so surprised how calmed are they arrive to our house 🥰”
“Our first stay with Dacya was a prolonged one which made us a little nervous as we would usually like to have a few shorter stays first for him to get accustomed but Dacya and Salat where so kind and loving towards him he was obviously very comfortable and happy with them. He wasn't ready to come home! They sent tons of photos that put our minds at ease and also made it clear how relaxed he was in their home. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs someone to look after their fur baby! Newton will certainly be back to stay on his second home again!”
“Yun-Chun and Ao-Chang took great care of Boba! They were extremely accommodating of our requests, and shared pictures and updates once a day. We would love to leave Boba again with them!”
“Ashley is wonderful! She took excellent care of our pup Matilda and sent us cute and reassuring pictures along the way! We’re grateful for her and recommend her to all :)”
“We had a great experience with Amy. She took excellent care of our dog while we were away for a few days and sent us regular updates. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. We’d absolutely book with Amy again and recommend her.”
“Pilalak & Siraphat kept me updated on my dog’s adventures and relaxation while taking care of her. I could tell based off the photos that she loved it there. Upon picking her up, she was excited but also did not want to leave. Will be using their services again in the near future. 😊”
“Hee is amazing. She took good care of our 1 year old Tofu and was very flexible to accommodate our last minute travel plans. Will recommend her to anybody! She also kept sending us bunch of pictures to make us feel comfortable.”
“Sarah did an amazing job caring for Maverick! He tends to get anxious and is hesitant about new situations, but she made it a very comfortable environment for him and he seemed to settle in quickly. She also sends out great updates!”
About: I started pet sitting in May 2022 after moving to Seattle. Since then I’ve cared for small dogs (Shiba Inu, Maltese, Cockapoo) and many indoor cats (Devon Rex, British Shorthair, Ragdoll, Orange Tabby, etc.) for friends and coworkers. I’m best with apartment-friendly, well-mannered pets. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality, don’t force cuddles, and let shy pets warm up at their own pace as long as they’re safe. Before each stay, I confirm your pet’s routine and house rules so I can keep things consistent and low-stress while you’re away. I work a regular weekday schedule but have flexibility. For dogs, I can sometimes bring them to my pet-friendly office so they can calmly socialize with other dogs if they enjoy it. If not, they can stay at my apartment — I can come home midday for a potty break and walk, and I’m home before and after work. For cats, I handle morning and evening care and spend more time at home in the evenings and on weekends. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, litter, and any house rules, and I keep doors and windows securely closed so pets stay safely indoors. For dogs, I only walk them on-leash and avoid crowded or unsafe areas. I mainly provide care in my own home, where pets can explore safe areas of the apartment and relax in a calm, quiet environment. I don’t offer driving or pick-up/drop-off, and I can only consider very nearby homes that are within a short walking distance. I send regular photo and text updates so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel confident they’re well cared for while you’re away.
“2nd time boarding WallE with Jenny. WallE is very well taken care of! Thanks Jenny for very responsive, caring, and accommodating. Love the pictures of WallE every day!”

We left our Cavapoo, Tofu, with Christina for 16 days and she had a great experience. Christina was patient and caring from the start. Tofu was hesitant in a new environment, and Christina even hand-fed her at first to help her settle in. She followed all of Tofu’s feeding instructions, kept us updated with photos, and was attentive throughout the stay. Her dog, Kuma, was also a wonderful companion for Tofu. He’s just too adorable. We truly appreciated Christina’s care and communication and would gladly trust her with Tofu again. Highly recommend!
Kyle took excellent care of Beanie while I was traveling. He was highly responsive and is a good listener. He sent proactive updates throughout my trip, whether things were going smoothly or a small issue came up. I never had to wonder how Beanie was doing. Kyle has a kind demeanor and clearly cares about dogs. I'd book him again instantly. Five stars.
We cannot thank cindy enough! She has been watching our dog for 16 days and she is absolute magic. Right from the start, Cindy was professional, punctual, incredibly attentive and followed our routine perfectly. She sent the best updates and photos, which completely puts our minds at ease while we are away. It is so clear that they genuinely care, and our dog absolutely adores her. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely kind, Cindy is the person!.
Ziting and her family treated our dog Maya like she was apart of their family. She followed our guide and directions exactly and made sure to ask any questions about Maya and her personality to give her the best stay ever, she almost didn't want to leave! She really went above and beyond! She also was incredibly responsive and would send pictures and videos all throughout each day to make us feel at ease while we were traveling. Her daughter was also super sweet with Maya and I really think that made our girl that much more comfortable with her stay in a new home. 10/10 would highly recommend to anyone Ziting to take the best care of their dog. We will definitely be asking her again when we travel, thank you!!!
Our dogs were very well looked after by Kai and his family. We got daily photographs, videos and updates including any change in behavior which Kai thought we may be worried about. He was very responsive and the dogs looked really happy with him. Highly recommended!
We couldn’t be happier with the care our mini schnauzer received with Patrick and Emily!! Our pup quickly became attached to their son, Conan who paid her so much attention. From the pictures, videos and messages, we could tell that they really cared about our dog’s wellbeing. We really hope to continue working with Patrick, Emily, Conan and Winter(their pup) for future trips.
I love that Julie sent videos of Tibbs so I saw how happy Tibbs was while boarding with her. He was well taken care of while we went away over the weekend. It was also very easy to communicate with Julie during Tibbs’ stay. I will book Tibbs with her again 100%. Thank you Julie!
MeiMei couldn't have been happier staying with Todd. She can be a nervous dog but she totally warmed to him. He has years of experience with dogs and gives off confident energy that is very calming. . Lots of cuddle time on the couch, and walks galore. Todd's dog, Honey, is aptly named: she is very, very sweet and tolerant.
Yini was great! She helped with two bookings that I needed which were canceled last minute. She was a huge help with taking care of Amaya. She sent tons of pictures and it was easy to see how happy Amaya was doing. I will definitely be reaching out for more help when Amaya needs to be taken care of.
Taylor loves visiting with Dacya and family! They are my preferred boarder when I go out of town and have worked with them several times. I love the active pictures at the lake, on hikes, walks and playing with other dogs. And drop off Taylor is so excited the moment we drive up to their place. Thank you for the loving care you give Taylor!
