“Kristina took such great care of my senior pup. This was the first time that I dropped her off at a stranger’s house in her 15+ years of life. Kristina was immediately welcoming, gave me updates on how she was doing, communicated promptly, and took amazing care of my dog. Will definitely use her again!”


“I cannot recommend Rachael highly enough! It's clear she has a genuine love for dogs. She took the time to get to know my dog, Bruno, and made sure to follow my routines and preferences for care. Rachael provided plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles, all while ensuring Bruno felt comfortable and happy. I returned to a happy, well-cared-for dog. If you're looking for a trustworthy, caring, and fun dog sitter, look no further! I’m so grateful for her services and will definitely be using her again in the future!"”


“Kaylie was so great! Flexible and patient with us due to some last minute changes. She did took a great care of our boy, followed up with us without us having to ask her. Lemmy had a great time with her and his new friends! I highly recommend Kaylie, she’s very kind and reliable.”


“Beth was a God send!! We had an unusual request requiring a super early morning drop off at the airport and she kindly did everything we needed her to without hesitation. Additionally, she took wonderful care of our dog Hana who was given plenty of attention and exercise. I got several updates throughout the day which put my worries at ease. I would highly recommend Beth for your dog sitting needs! Thanks and blessings to you Beth!!”

“Sam was amazing! Communicated frequently and I came back from my trip to a happy dog with no issues. She genuinely likes having pancake around and I don’t see why I would use another rover while she is still in Seattle!”

Will definitely be using them again for future sitting needs!!”

“Very, very, very wonderful family.The hostess is very loving and very experienced.My puppy dog was a little depressed about leaving home and didn't like to eat.The hostess spends an extraordinary amount of time calming the puppy and switching up the various treats she makes for the puppy to help him be able to eat more, she has a very loving son and a very sweet daughter, both of whom spoil the puppy very much.I felt more luxurious spending time with the hostess than at home.I will definitely be back again and recommend it to all my friends.Because the owner is loving and very attentive.Every day, they keep track of how much food is eaten and what time the dog goes to the bathroom.More careful and experienced than us owners!”



About: I previously had my own dog but had to give him to my sister when I moved cross-country. I love pets so in addition to my own dog, I've dog sat part-time for my network of friends, from small to large dogs. I feed and take the dogs out for walks several times a day when owners are out of town for weekends. I like taking dogs out to local parks if there's one nearby. I would love to get to know your dog and take them on long walks! I'm available for daily weekday walks. I work from home so I'm also available to come stay at your home to dog sit if needed and stay with them for the majority of the time. I am comfortable with putting dogs in crates or sleeping with the dog depending on what is normal for them. I know how to use a harness. I usually plan to take dogs on walks several times a day.

“Hee Ju was the most dedicated and sweetest dog boarder to my beagle. She took my dog in last minute when I was scrambling last minute for boarding and she communicated so well throughout the entire visit. She even brushed my dog’s teeth! Would definitely book her again.”

“Alexa is wonderful, she takes care of my big pup regularly, including at her own home when I travel. She takes excellent care of Nika and is extremely responsive & professionals.”



“This was the second time I left my dog with Claudia, though significantly longer than the first overnighter. My dog Piper spent ten days with Claudia. I got regular updates/photos on her throughout the stay and I felt very comfortable about her service. When I got back Piper was very mellow to see me, and now eats her food as soon as it is set down! Wow!”


“Genuinely was and is the best babysitter for my cat I ever have had. We spent hours on a road trip trying to find the perfect person for him, and Daiana took on the challenge for my special needs fur baby. Made him feel safe, loved, and cared for as if he was her own. She’s very thorough on making sure he had all his needs met, asked questions about his personality, routine, and general nuts & bolts about him. Updated us constantly and routinely about how his stay was doing and how his reaction was to the new environment. What my husband and I appreciate the most about her was the fact she had him relaxed and calm and took her time with him. Letting him come out on his own and being gentle with him made my heart swell with joy. And hearing he cuddled her, gave her lots of love, was such a lovely thing for us to hear. She definitely has the magic touch with our fur babies. I would recommend her 100% to watch your family member in her care and watch. I’m definitely going to rebook her as my permanent babysitter for Sero. ❤️”
