“Junbo is kind, reliable, and communicative. She took care of my dog and place for over a week. My 7 year old dog loved her from day 1. Junbo followed the care instructions I left, sent lots of photos, and was generous with her time, the long walks, and day adventures she took my dog on. On the way back, my dog looked happy and healthy, and my place was clean and well taken care of. I’m happy to have found a great sitter. Thank you for your great work, Junbo!”


“Moriah watched my collie mix while I was gone and it was such a pleasure. She did a great job, especially managing my high energy dog and my dog’s medication. I look forward to booking her again next time I need a dog sitter.”

“Justelle did a great job with the pups, they were both very happy when we got home and were sad to see her go! We have a German shepherd and a 1 year old mini Aussie, she was comfortable with both. She left the house clean and put away. We will definitely be booking Justelle again.”

“Thank you so much for watching Benji! Ming was able to accommodate a last minute request do 2 different requests. I will definitely use Ming again and I highly recommend her.”

“Rachel did an incredible job caring for our older dog for 1 week. She gave her lots of slow walks and loving attention! I swear Rainbow seemed more spry when we got home! She was great at communicating. I highly recommend Rachel!”

“Wendy was incredible! She’s so communicative and goes the extra mile to make sure my cat has a good experience. She’s such a natural with animals and she is definitely my cat’s favorite sitter.”

About: I have always loved dogs and I have my own pet husky, Axel! I think enrichment is crucial for pet care and I will keep your pup entertained with lots of love, exercise, and cuddles :) I recently graduated from UW Seattle and I am looking for pet-sitting gigs in the meantime. I love going for walks in the mornings and evenings to start and end my days. I will provide gentle care and walks and runs as needed. I can also provide basic grooming services like brushing and/or teeth brushing if needed.
“Russell was great with our older dog and cat. He kept us updated and took our dog on great walks. He also took good care of our home. Even watered plants without being asked. He can be relied upon ti take great care of pets and home”
“Mari stayed with Wilkie for three weeks over Christmas. She sent daily photo updates and I came home to find my pup happy and healthy and my apartment in great shape. A fantastic Rover experience!”

“Wilma was amazing! We worried about leaving our pup Boomer with someone we didn't know. Boomer has an orthopedic issue right now, which requires special attention and medication. Wilma took care of everything, and Boomer was instantly enamored with Wilma (he followed her everywhere!) Wilma gave us frequent updates and photos. We could not have asked for a more devoted dog sitter and house sitter.”

“Georgia was great! She looked after our 1 year old golden at our place for a day. We had to leave at a hurry, and she was kind enough to figure things at our home. She kept us updated by sending pics and messages. Would like to have her sit my boy again!”


About: I have been an animal lover since childhood and truly believe that pets are our 'younger brothers' who deserve nothing but respect and affection. For the past 5 years, I’ve been a dedicated dog owner myself, which taught me the nuances of daily care and intuition. Beyond my personal life, I have 3 years of professional experience as a Rover sitter under a previous account. I don’t just 'watch' dogs; I welcome them into my home as family members, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and respected every second you are away. I work a flexible hybrid schedule, splitting my time between the office and home. My typical workday starts early at 6:00 AM and ends by 2:30 PM, though I often finish a couple of hours earlier. This early schedule is perfect for pet care because it means I am home for the majority of the day. On days I work from home, we are together 24/7. On office days, the pets are only alone for a short period before I return to dedicate my afternoon to them. Our typical walking routine includes: Morning: A refreshing early walk to kickstart the day. Mid-afternoon: A long, high-energy walk right after I finish work. Evening: A medium-length stroll before bedtime to ensure everyone is relaxed and ready for sleep. On weekends, we love to go on adventures! We frequently visit local parks to enjoy the fresh air and give the dogs plenty of space to explore. Your pet will fit right into our active and attentive daily rhythm. Creating a secure and stress-free environment is my top priority. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them, I ensure they feel like a true member of the family. A Comfortable Home Environment: Choice of Sleeping: Every guest has a dedicated "safe place" to retreat to, but I believe in total comfort. Pets are more than welcome to snuggle up in bed with me if that’s where they feel most secure and happy! Personal Space: To prevent any stress during mealtimes, each pet has their own designated station for food and fresh water. Play & Mental Stimulation: I dedicate one-on-one time to every pet for interactive play and engagement. We have a huge variety of toys to keep them entertained! Treats & Care: I love spoiling my guests with tasty treats, though I am very strict about checking for allergies or specific dietary instructions from owners first. Safety & Peace of Mind: Because I have a small, cat-friendly dog of my own, my home is already set up to be a pet-safe zone. I am very attentive to body language and ensure that all interactions between animals are supervised and positive. You can expect regular photo updates and messages so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having!
“Iris stayed with our three Dachshunds for four days. She did an amazing job! Iris was attentive to their needs and gave them lots of snuggles which they are so used to! She sent pictures and an update every day which showed how well our babies were doing. I appreciate all the care and attention that she gave our dogs which included administering medication to one of them. I definitely plan to call on iIris again to care for our dogs! ❤️”

“Jenna was able to watch our pup Zoey while we were away for the weekend. She did a marvelous job and had such detailed notes for us. Amazing! So appreciated her willingness to work on some training. Zoey was very happy! Would definitely recommend.”

“Julia did a wonderful job taking care of my cat and my house. She communicated well and kept me informed about how well my cat was eating and really tried to interact with Bumper to “win her over.” I will definitely use her again!”

“Friendly and conscientious, fast and clear communication before/during/after, sent fun daily photos of our dogs relaxed and having fun with him, flexibly supported our schedule asks, and returned our home as tidy as we'd left it. Looking forward to using Toki's services again.”


“Thank you Melia for taking such great care of the boys. When I got home, my two dogs seemed happy and calm! Melia took great care of the home too, stripped the bed and cleaned up after herself. I will definitely book with her again!”

Justelle is magic with cats. She coaxed our extremely shy cat out of hiding so she could give him his inhaler. I wasn’t even sure it would be possible for a cat sitter to get that done with him! She’s a an animal lover and we love having her take care of our babies.

Dahae did a great job with our pups Pickle and Kiwi! They can be territorial but they both warmed to her quickly. She was able to come over for a pre sit meet and greet and we knew right away she was going to be great! She left our apartment tidy and the pups happy! We got photos from her every day and felt comfortable having her stay. Would book her again for future pet sitting!

Dana was the perfect person to watch my Maltipoo. I appreciate Dana's excellent communication in preparation for watching my dog for the first time, and she made me feel confident that my dog was in good hands. Dana is kind and thoughtful, and Elle took to her right away. I will definitely ask for Dana the next time I'm in town. 😊

Louisa was such a caring and responsible sitter for our senior cat. She kept us updated on his daily events and sent pics too. Like most cats, they can be fickle, but I could easily see he had warmed up to her and was very comfortable. We would use her again in a heartbeat! She’s considerate and puts the care of your animal first.

Angie took great care of my french bulldog puppy Remy! My flight home also was unexpectedly canceled at the last second, and she graciously extended her care—super flexible, so grateful. We’ll definitely contact Angie again the next time we need a dog sitter!
