“Bennie and Jennie took such good care of our 2 kitties in their home! Our cats have polar opposite personalities, so the cat suite worked perfectly for their needs. My grouchy kitty got plenty of space and warm spots for naps, and my sociable kitty got lots of play and cuddles. ❤️ We were happy knowing the cats weren't locked in a kennel or a tiny space for the duration of our trip. We got lots of pictures and videos daily, so we knew they were very well taken care of. We are happy we found this option for our upcoming cat sitting needs!”


“First time leaving our 5 month old Samoyed puppy with anyone. Patricia is super responsive and accommodating, and definitely knows what she is doing. Would highly recommend!”


“We love sending our dog to Monica! She is super responsive, always answers questions, and her place is really clean. Our dog always comes home so happy. Would definitely recommend!”


“Bernard and his family did an amazing job caring for our dog. She was well taken care of and we received regular updates. Thank you so much! 10/10 would board again.”



“Al and Dody are absolutely amazing with our puppies! They really treat them like one of the family. They took them to a local concert and never leave them at home alone. When one of our dogs chewed through her harness, they were quick to buy her another so she didn't miss out on any outings! No one has compared to the safety and love that al and dody provide!”


“Avancon did a fine job of taking care of my dog. He asked all the right questions about her habits and special needs. He provided lots of pictures which reassured me that my dog was adjusting well. I can highly recommend Avancon”


“Derek truly went above and beyond with his boarding services. He explained the set up for his home where he boards and how he typically cares for his clients. I had zero doubts that my pet would be expertly cared for. Throughout my pet’s stay, Derek sent updates and photos and was overall extremely communicative. He even took detailed notes on his observations from the stay, as he says he does with any first time pet that he watches. I’m looking forward to having my pet stay with Derek again!”


“Reena was amazing! My dog mochi enjoyed staying with her while I was out of town. Reena made sure to send me many photos per day, and she took mochi for a walk twice a day. Mochi came back healthy and happy🐶 Thanks Reena🫶”

I'm very grateful and will come back again.”

About: Since I was 12 years old, I have been actively caring for dogs. My first dog lived to 19 years old, thanks to the loving care from me and my family. Over the years, many friends have trusted me to look after their pets during vacations, showing confidence in my responsible and caring approach. I’ve helped train puppies by teaching basic commands and good behavior, building strong bonds with them. I regularly take dogs to the park for exercise and socialization to keep them healthy and happy. I also handle grooming tasks like bathing to keep them clean and comfortable. This hands-on experience has made me confident and compassionate in providing well-rounded care for dogs of all ages. I’m currently freelancing, so I have plenty of time to play, care for, and give your pups lots of attention! I’m also available for boarding. I don’t have pets at my place right now, but I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment with regular meals, fresh water, playtime, and exercise. I treat every pet like family and respect their unique needs.

Laurelhurst dog parents share their Rover experiences
Morgan was so great with our anxious and fearful dog! My fiance and I have never left our dog JB with anyone (besides a family member) since he has a lot of anxiety and is not very trusting of strangers. Morgan is the exception! We are so happy to have found a reliable sitter who can watch JB whenever we our out of town. She is very communicative and sends lots of updates/photos as well! Also, bonus points for her dog Atticus being so cute 😂

Jullian did an amazing job taking care of our dog! Super reliable, caring, and kept us updated with photos and messages. Our pup was happy and relaxed when we returned. We felt completely at ease the whole time. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future!

Bean always comes back tired with Marisela & her pup Artie. We truly appreciate how flexible she was in regard to timing, from last minute boarding to modifying pick up times last minute. Bean has such a lovely time every time & I know she’s in good, attentive hands. We’ve had one of our best doggy daycare experiences with Marisela & Artie. Thank you so much!!

We had the pleasure of dropping off Gouda and Brie for a 4 night 5 day stay with Carli. Prior to the dogs stay, we met up with Carli and family (including their dog Bixby) at a local dog park. The dogs had a chance to play and we got a chance to meet with Carli and Cory and their two sweet girls. We knew for sure Carli was the sitter for us! Carli was very attentive and thorough. She made sure ask about both dogs likes and dislikes, routines, and address any concerns we had with it being their first stay. Carli’s dog and our dogs got along well and everybody had a great time. During the visit she sent pics often and gave us updates on how they were fairing. She also made sure to check on us too! At pickup, she gave us details on how it all went and was very kind. We will be booking with her again as the dogs immediately took to her and her family. It was so great being able to travel and know our dogs were getting the same love and attention we give them.

Nelson and Nancy continue to come through for us. We were really stretched thin when a family member unexpectedly ended up in the hospital. They were so wonderful, understanding, and flexible with our ever-changing schedule that happens in these cases. They removed so much stress from an already intense situation and we can't thank them enough!

Hector was an amazing pet sitter. He often reassured me on what my puppy, Tsuki, was doing each day. He would send multiple pictures and videos of her walks and when she would eat and drink, and even play. I would most definitely choose Hector in a heartbeat again for future stays.

Tamie took excellent care of our blue heeler Maisie over an 8-day stay while we were traveling, as well as during several doggie daycare visits. Maisie has the best time staying with Tamie. We can tell that she is comfortable, relaxed, and has fun too! Tamie is kind, trustworthy, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. We highly recommend Tamie for any dog care!

Marsha was outstanding! As soon as you meet her, you know there is a gentleness about her and our dog Evie knew too. Evie has certain anxieties, being a rescue, but Marsha overcame them with her over the course of the weekend. By day 2, Evie let her pick her up and was even playing with her toy (definitely a sign of being relaxed) by the end of the weekend. And Marsha communicated with texts and pictures all throughout. Would definitely recommend Marsha again, highly!!!

Thank you Josh for taking care of Emma in a last minute booking We are so happy that you have a spacious place for Emma to sleep in , and a nice big backyard for her to go outside to hang out. We are so glad both you and Courage enjoyed Emma's company and we look forward to having you to dog sitting Emma again. Would recommend him to my friends and family ♥️
