Top rated Mercer Island house sitters

“Andy is incredibly caring, communicative, and empathetic sitter. Andy clearly connected with our pup: they played, went hiking, and he even gave Andy snuggles at night! We got great daily updates and when our flight times changed Andy adjusted instantly. Our pup was having tummy troubles when we left and Andy was comfortable and capable supporting him. I highly recommend Andy for any sitter needs.”


“Eric went above and beyond when he took care of our pets. He provided thorough updates for us while we were gone, and even sent lots of pictures of our babies. When we came home, it was just as clean as when we left it! 10/10 would recommend Eric to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and we hope to book with him again in the future!”


“Ashley is fantastic! Great communication before and during the stay. Our pup Lexi had a blast and was well cared for. Will definitely look to book her again for future Rover needs!”


“Kailyn was great! I get really nervous leaving my dogs with someone that isn’t close friends or family but she was so kind and kept me up to date throughout my stay and my dogs were very well taken care of. I would definitely book her again!”


“Dale is awesome. She communicated often and asked for clarification when I didn’t leave clear instructions. My babies were happy and healthy when I got home. Thanks Dale”


“Lydia took fantastic care of our dog & cat in our home. She kept us updated and sent photos so we could see how the pets were doing. Her care allowed us to relax and enjoy vacation, knowing they were in such great hands.”


“I can’t say enough good things about Gabriel! He stayed with my elderly cat and dog for 9 days, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very start, Gabriel treated my pets like they were his own—full of love, care, and patience. He went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and enriched—whether it was trying new food for my picky cat or taking my dog everywhere with him (which she *loved*). My pets tend to have sensitive stomachs and throw up a lot, but Gabriel handled it all with grace and never made a big deal of it. One of my favorite things was the whimsical daily summaries he sent—so thoughtful, funny, and detailed, they always made me smile. He was always available when I needed him, super responsive, and I felt completely at ease leaving my fur babies in his care. Gabriel was also incredibly thoughtful in following my (admittedly long and crazy!) list of requests and notes, which made me feel truly heard and understood as a pet parent. I came home to two happy, healthy, and relaxed pets, and I’m so grateful for the care he gave them. If you’re looking for someone you can truly trust to care for your pets, look no further than Gabriel. He’s a gem!”


“Vanessa did a great job with our two cats! She was very communicative and kept us in the loop if she struggled to find parking or if she had a question. She also sent lots of wonderful photos!”


“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! ❤️”


“Jessie did a great job with our pets! She stayed in our home which really made us feel that our pets got all the love they deserve while we were on vacation. Jesse is very accommodating and communicated very well. We plan to book with her again! We came home to a clean house and happy pets.”


“Wilma did a wonderful job watching our two pugs! We had a very nice meet & greet where she asked thoughtful questions while we walked the dogs around. While we were away, Wilma kept us posted with frequent texts and pictures, and the dogs loved her. They were relaxed and happy when we got home which is the best! She also cleaned the sheets from the bed she was using and remade the bed, which I really appreciated. It was a very stress-free experience, and we'll definitely use her again!”


“I had a great experience with Anastasiia! She took care of my dog, Rocky, for 6 days and I couldn’t be happier. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. Rocky seemed happy, well-cared for, and comfortable when I returned home. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I’d definitely trust her to watch him again and recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter.”


“Zachary was able to fit us in only 2-3 weeks out from Christmas. I have a very old dog who needs lots of special love and care and a very cuddly and attached Puggle. They loved having Zachary look after them and were sad he left. We will definitely rebook.”
