Dog Sitting in Mercer Island

About: I’m Roh - a doctor-in-training, who is really just on here to spend more time with dogs & cats! I've taken care of friends' & family's dogs my whole life on & off - sometimes dogsitting, at other times walks, feeding them, quick potty breaks, and playing with them to keep them entertained. I am always so happy to be around furry friends & cannot wait to meet yours! I know I’m new on here & you might be nervous about that; I’m happy to do an in-person meet & greet where we can meet in a public space, I can meet your dog, and we can make sure we all get along! NOTE: I know my current rates are under market average. This is a new client promo, available for the next 3 months, while I set up here! I work full time Monday to Friday from 8 to 5 (rarely 6pm), but I’m available during the rest of the time. I think of myself as a great affordable fit for people going on short vacations or work trips, or if you just want an easy night in. On weekdays I can stop by early in the morning around 6:30-7am for a drop-in or a quick walk, followed by a longer walk in the evening with some playtime. On weekends I can dedicate a lot of my time to your pet! I can do up to 3 walks a day, if they prefer that. I am a big believer in respecting your residence. When petsitting, I keep things clean & will do my utmost best to leave your place as you left it! With your pet, I always try to strive for a mix of engagement & letting them chill, depending on their mood.

“Loved Daiana! On time, personable, great with cats and appreciating our cat’s feisty personality. Daiana was always quick to respond via the Rover app and sent the cutest photos. Would totally use her again!!”

About: I’m relatively new to pet sitting, at least getting paid for it!! I watch my sisters two cast and rats all the time!! I have flexibility hours and date. I currently going to school part time and when I’m not in class I’m outside riding my bike or walking around looking for a sweet treat. I am very detailed oriented so I am good at following step by step instructions. I want to ensure that your pet has a stress free experience.

“Scheduled a meet and greet with Rachel to make sure she was comfortable with our dog and vice versa they hit it off great! She was able to stop by in a pinch and was very knowledgeable. Looking forward to booking her in the future!”

Lauren & Sebastian T.

“She was available last minute and very friendly with the pups. While I was gone, the pups made a bit of a mess (getting into trash and a bit of pee inside) that were left there. But I didn’t explicitly ask her to clean their messes, and she seems to have followed at least the primary instructions, so there’s that. Overall, pretty solid experience for what she charges.”

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind. I have dog sat for friends and neighbors. They entrust me to do what is needed! I start a new job in a month so I have a lot of free time to dog-sit. When I start my new job I can do weekends only. I am so excited! I love dogs and I can’t wait to meet yours. Thank you! I worked at a doggie daycare as a seasonal job while at college and loved it!! I know how to work with many different breeds and make sure to carry that to my clients and my own at home. I am careful about heat stroke, bloat, and other complications that can happen fast with little notice. Safety is my priority!

“Jue took amazing care of our cats while we were away. Communication was quick and consistent, and we loved getting thoughtful updates plus pictures and videos. Best of all, we came home to calm, happy cats — always the best sign. Highly recommend and we’ll absolutely use her again.”

About: I may not have professional experience caring for animals, but I’ve always felt a deep connection with them. Whenever I’m around dogs, I feel an instant bond—like we’ve known each other for years. Animals seem to naturally gravitate toward me, and I think they can sense how much I care. I’m patient, gentle, and always eager to learn more about how to give pets the best care. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing with their favorite toy, or just keeping them company, I’m fully present and engaged. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with kindness, love, and respect. Even though I’m new to pet sitting, I bring a lot of heart, reliability, and excitement to every opportunity. I’m confident that with time and trust, both pets and their owners will feel comfortable and happy with me I’m currently on summer break and i have nothing to do or planned until august so i hope i make a bit of money until that time so i could be set for the future and my school year I have a Nice big and fenced community park right next to my home, your babies will have the time of their lives in my humble abode, it’s small but it’s full of love and warmth!

About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with over 2 years of hands on experience caring for dogs and 4 years with cats, along with volunteer work at animal shelters in TX but since I had to moved to PNW I’m excited to continue doing what I love. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, medication support, or extra cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My shelter experience has taught me how to work patiently with pets of all temperaments, from shy and anxious to highly active. My goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your pet the best care possible I currently work part-time in the mornings and am available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks from around noon through the afternoon and early evening. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable care and plenty of attention to your pets when you need it most. 🐾 I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. In my clients’ homes, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, fresh water, and any special instructions. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether they enjoy lots of attention or prefer a calmer approach. I also provide regular photo and message updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. As a pet parent myself, I treat every animal as if they were my own. 🐾

About: I’ve had a dog of my own and regularly help care for my neighbors’ dogs as well, giving me experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of attention. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to older senior dogs. I’m a college student with an internship, which usually leaves me fully free on Sundays and Mondays (though this can vary week to week). On workdays, I’m available early mornings and in the evenings into the night. I prioritize safety, trust, and respect in every home I visit. I follow any instructions closely, keep pets secure during walks and visits, and make sure your home is treated with care. I’m also open to dog sitting in my own home depending on the pet’s needs and compatibility.

About: My goal is to provide a dog care experience like no other! With experience in basic dog training coupled with my deep love for animals, I bring a unique blend of skills and qualities to the table. My patience, trustworthiness, and empathy make me a reliable caretaker for your beloved family members. Having navigated mixed experiences on this platform myself, I understand the importance of finding a sitter who not only possesses the necessary expertise but also offers a sense of security and comfort. It's this understanding that drives me to provide exceptional care for every dog entrusted to me. I'm equipped to handle a variety of behavioral needs and ensure your dog feels safe and comfortable in my care. Whether it's teaching basic commands or addressing specific behavioral issues, I approach every interaction with compassion and understanding. I am currently restricting my day care and boarding services to dogs between 25 and 100 pounds. Explanation of prices: I spend significant time and energy into providing exceptional care and attention pets during all of my services. My prices reflect this dedication. I recently left my last office role and have decided to make a positive difference on this platform. I’ve found the services provided on here have been a hit or miss and hope to be able to provide consistent and reliable pet care for my clients for the safety of the pet and peace of mind for their owners. I have a fenced in yard and a 6 year old mutt my wife and I rescued. He is well trained and disciplined. Given his size (80lbs), out of an abundance of caution, I will not be taking any dogs under 20lbs.

About: I share my home with two friendly shih tzus and a calm indoor cat. Our home is best suited for small pups under 15 pounds, and I take pride in helping them feel safe and at home during their stay. *Meet & Greets are required for a smooth, comfortable experience.* I prioritize flexibility and am committed to meeting your pet care requirements. Your pet’s needs come first, and I’ll adapt my schedule to ensure they’re happy and well cared for. I treat for your pet like they are my own with companionship and ensuring their comfort. They will have a small fenced in yard to play and run around in!

“Delaney took great care of our dogs, cat and house while we were gone. Very communicative, lots of updates with photos. She left our house clean and tidy, got our mail and all of our packages (we get a lot) I can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our farm.”

Oliver B.

“I had an amazing experience with Lydia! She was communicative, attentive, and took great care of my cat with genuine care. Regular photos and updates also helped me be stress-free during my time away. Couldn’t be happier with my experience — highly recommend!”

About: I have experience caring for cats, dogs, bunnies, mice, and fish. But I would be thrilled to work with more! I have experience pet sitting and dog walking. I am free to work any day of the week at any time! I would prefer to pet sit by doing house visits but am open to discussing overnight stays as well! My service is kind, respectful, attentive and patient. I am a veterinary student and I absolutely love animals! Totally open to discussing and answering any questions about my services!

“Bibiana took good care of our pets while we were away. she is very responsive and reliable. We will definitely book her again in the future. thank you.”

“Alison did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was traveling! I had some problems with the spare key and she promptly agreed on moving on with an arragement I made. She cared about the high temperatures and made sure the AC was turned on when necessary. My cat loved her on the first sight! Also, she takes amazing pictures 😁 Thank you so much, Alison!”

About: My experience includes fostering senior dogs with special needs, raising and training our own standard poodle, walking a variety of dogs with unique traits and proclivities. During house sits I have a quiet routine and would spend most of my time sitting with your pet doing my quiet activities aside from playtime and long walks. I enjoy exploring new trails and am happy to keep to your pet’s familiar routines too. I am experienced in delivering medications and special diets at home. I leave your home cleaner than I found it, practicing ‘leave no trace’. I currently focus on pursuing interests via reading, writing, cooking, painting, and creating botanical perfumes and essential oil blends for friends and family. Playing with my 4 leggeds at home and caring for your beloved pets balances exercise and playful engagement with my solo activities. I am reliable, communicate with words and photos, and will get to know your pet very well. I like to focus on your pets’ needs and spread my time around their care.

About: I just graduated from law school and am looking to make some additional money while studying for the bar. As such, I have an incredibly flexible schedule and am at home a significant portion of the day. I have 20+ years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments as well as other pets. I’m comfortable with puppies and young pets — helping them build confidence, reinforce basic commands, and establish healthy routines. I’m equally attentive to senior dogs, understanding their need for gentler exercise, medication schedules, and extra comfort. What sets me apart is my calm, patient energy and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like my own — with consistent boundaries, plenty of affection, and close attention to their individual personality and needs. I’m also a reliable communicator, sending regular photo updates so owners always feel at ease. Special skills include: • Puppy socialization and basic obedience reinforcement (I have helped raise 3 puppies) • Senior pet care (mobility support, medications, low-impact activity). My families fifteen year old golden retriever prepared me well 😀. • Administering oral medications • Experience with high-energy breeds and dogs with anxiety • I workout regularly and can easily lift any dog if needed. recently graduated law school and am currently studying for the bar exam, which means I’m working from home with a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time throughout the day to give pets the attention, walks, and companionship they need — no rushing off to an office or unpredictable hours. Having a pet around actually makes for great study company! Whether I’m welcoming pets into my home or caring for them in their own space, my approach is the same — attentive, calm, and consistent with their normal routine. In my home: I provide a comfortable, pet-friendly environment where animals are never left alone for long periods. Pets have space to relax, play, and get plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. In your home: I follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible — same feeding times, same walking schedule, same rules. I want them to feel like nothing has changed, just with a friendly new face. For drop-in visits: I make the most of every visit — feeding, fresh water, playtime, a walk if needed, and of course some quality cuddle time. I always send a update so you know how things went. For dog walking: Walks are tailored to your dog’s pace and energy level. I keep them safe, engaged, and well-exercised — and always clean up after them.
