“Elyla was so awesome!! She gave me great pics and updates on my pair and I couldn’t be happier! I’ve never had a sitter for my dogs before so I was very nervous but that quickly went away with Elyla! I’m definitely excited to have her watch my dogs again in the future! (if she wants to of course!)”
“He has been doing great job! On one of the walks, our dog was having an issue that he helped take care of and then was able to swing back by later to check in on her before I was able to get home. This was much appreciated!”
“Roman is the definition of reliable. We had him walk our terrier two times a week for a few months and he was on time every single booking. He was communicative and flexible with our schedules, working around days off and other unexpected shifts in need and availability. Would definitely use him again when we need walks in the future.”
“Natalie was wonderful with Rusty. She ended up having to walk him on the hottest day of the year, and she took great care to make sure his paws were ok, he got plenty of cool-downs in the shade, and was well hydrated with fan on him when she put him back in his crate afterwards. She understands reactive dogs and is well able to handle them. She sent adorable photos, communicated well, and Rusty loved her. Will definitely book again!”
“Cave is a great walker. So loving with our dog and very communicative when needed. My husband and I are so glad we found someone that is patient but also knows what is doing, specially with a dog that is anxious when there is other dogs around.”
“Eliana was absolutely wonderful with my baby boy. He had so much fun with her and she was amazing at sending pics of him making friends during their walk. Looking forward booking with her again.”
“Elizabeth has been such a great dog walker for my pup Mila! She sends me the best updates throughout the walks and I feel great knowing that she’s taking good care of my girl. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a walker 😊”
About: I started pet sitting for my neighbors and I have great, admittedly food driven, relationships with every one of my friends' dogs! (I always bring treats to share!) I do as much as I can for my 17 (almost 18!) year old cat, Ben. Over the past 9 years I've administered oral medication, both through a vial and pills, and adapted to his unique litter box preferences. I've also learned how to recognize when he wants to be active and similarly, the behaviors that indicates he is done and wants his time alone. I split my time between Rover and searching for my next full-time role. I'm available everyday from lunchtime through the evening for one or more visits per day! With a senior pet, I've become very attentive to changes in his behavior or habits and quickly respond when I notice something doesn't match his normal behavior. I keep his water fountain topped up with fresh water, food always available and clean up his litter multiple times per day.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 13. I've dog and cat sat for neighbors, family, and friends which included feeding, cleaning, walking, and medication administration. I've taken care of puppies and elderly dogs both needing additional cares. I am currently a college student so I have an atypical schedule, but am usually available to check in on your pet every 4-6 hours. I am very active so I can take your dogs on many walks or even runs. If you have a fenced in yard, I can take them out that way in addition to walks. For cats, I know how to clean litter boxes.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since high school for my family and friends. The main person I help is my auntie. I have taken care of her cats since middle school when she is out of town. I would feed them, clean their litter boxes, love on them, and give them attention. My schedule is pretty opened. If you need me to stay with your pets while you are away or on vacation I can do that. How I care for the pets in my home, and clients homes, I give them lots of love, cuddles, pets, attention, give them as many walks as they need. Feed them at their schedule feeding times. I am a very loving and passionate person when it comes to animals. When I am around pets I am very respectful, I ask the owners if I can pet them, then i ask the pets by letting them smell me first. I am willing to feed them, give them love, bathe them, take them out for walks, and so much more. I can stay at your home with them, and/or they can stay at my home
“Margaret has improved Izzie’s quality of life while guiding and training her. I appreciate Margaret’s communication with texts alerting me to arrival. Margaret is our ideal dog walking partner!”
About: I love animals and grew up with dogs my whole life (including basic puppy training). I have experiencing pet sitting dogs, cats, and houses with both for overnight stays and drop in visits for walks, feeding, and play time. I’m in grad school at UW so I am balancing an internship on Mondays/Tuesdays and classes/schoolwork through the rest of the week. My evenings and weekends are generally flexible for pet care! I’ve lived with both cats and dogs so am very aware of safety factors and basic behavior and body language. I will do my best to make sure your pet is healthy and happy while I’m taking care of them :)

“Cassandra was absolutely perfect for our cat Charlotte. She showed real care for her that went past just feeding and changing the litter box. Charlotte gets lonely when we're out of town, but Cassandra made sure that she was comfortable and happy the whole time.

Miana C.Star Sitter
“They took care of my dog Twilight. They did an amazing job with making sure my dog was groomed, fed, and loved. Twilight typically is shy with new people, but when Miana came, she was nervous for a little bit, but once she smelled Miana, she was all over them. I felt comfortable leaving my dog in Mianas care and I am grateful to have had them take care of my dog. I would definitely recommend.”

Emma W.
“Emma watched my dog and cat a few times and always does a fabulous job. My dog is highly anxious and the cat and she do not get along (they have to be physically separated or in different rooms at all times). Emma was good about sending photo and text updates throughout the time we were away, which I appreciated to know they were safe and not fighting. I recommend hiring her for all pet loving and watching duties”
