Top rated Montlake doggy day care sitters

“Erin is absolutely incredible. Within the first ten minutes of meeting, she and my dog (Maya) were best friends. I booked with her during a super hot week and she did a great job at keeping Maya both cool and entertained. Maya had a bit of an upset tummy that week and Erin was on top of everything, keeping me up to date with how Maya was doing. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to keep Maya company. Will definitely be booking again!”


“Excellent care of our pup. Really appreciated his flexibility and communication!! Chandy was immediately warm to him and I could tell he had a great time! Will definitely return!!”

“Anne is such a kind, warm, loving dog sitter. She was super responsive and sent regular updates during the week. I could tell she was taking great care of Irwin. I will definitely be booking Anne again. She was my first experience using Rover and I feel so lucky!”


“Adam did a great job with Mondo. He was incredibly responsive, often times responding within a few minutes. Drop off was very easy as there was plenty of parking around. He sent us photo updates on their near 3.5 mile walk. Would definitely recommend him and plan to use him again to watch Mondo.”


“I am so thankful to have found this wonderful duo to watch Ellie for me while I was working! They sent me pictures and videos throughout the day, sending me updates on Ellie. I also appreciate how responsive they were to any messages I sent. Ellie got home and knocked out for hours so I know she had a blast ❤️ Will definitely turn to these two again in the future!! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Bei was a wonderful sitter for my sweet but anxious older pup. She did a fantastic job of keeping me up to date on how my pup was doing along with wonderful photos and videos during his stay.”

“Catherine did a great job with Mondo. Very responsive to coordinate pick up and drop off, took him on some good walks, and had a good home environment. Will definitely use her again!”


“Lauren provides outstanding care for my dog, Phoebe, during daycare. I love receiving regular updates and photos, which gives me great peace of mind while I'm at work. When I pick Phoebe up, she’s always happy and relaxed, and now she gets excited when we arrive for drop-off. I rely on Lauren’s daycare services weekly and will definitely be booking Phoebe for overnight boarding when I go away. Highly recommend – 5 stars!”


“Benzo had so much fun playing with Nico! Raquel made sure to send several photos and updates throughout the day. It was hard for me to take Benzo home knowing how much fun he was having at his new friends’ home.”


“From the first meet & greet to the last scheduled walk, Faeden went above and beyond to ensure my dog’s comfort 🥰🥹🙌 They were endlessly patient and detail-oriented with the routine. I received updates with every visit, and questions as they popped up (ie. minor abrasions, neighbor visits). It’s not easy leaving a pet behind for an extended period, but Faeden made it so painless. Nooby absolutely loved their time together and we’ll definitely book again!”

“Emma was amazing!! My wife and I wanted to take our granddaughter to the zoo and had no one to watch our dog. We were able to book with Emma on short notice, and her communications with us were excellent. We've never used a service like this before and had never left our dog with anyone she didn't already know. Emma is a genuine sweet person, and made us feel comfortable right from the start that Kona was in good hands. She responded right away to my texts letting us how Kona was doing and sent us photos. I could see Kona had bonded with Emma when we went to pick her up. I highly recommend Emma and would definitely use her service again. Thank you Emma for helping us make our stress free, fun day possible!”


“Teresa was something between a mindreader and an absolute SAINT! I was hoping she'd take my dog Beary out for long walks and keep him company and that's exactly what she did! 💯% will follow-up and try to book again) Thanks Teresa!!! Beary & Alex”


“Tiffany and Will were great hosts for our dog’s first day at doggy daycare with them! From the moment we dropped our dog off, we felt confident that they would provide a safe, fun, and loving environment. Our dog had an incredible time, enjoying a variety of toys in their home and getting plenty of exercise with walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures. Tiffany and Will’s provided consistent communication throughout the day by providing updates and videos/photos, letting us know how our dog was settling in and having fun. We truly appreciate their care and attention to detail, and we’re excited for more doggy daycare days in the future!”

“Our dog spent the day with Edward and Sunny and came home very calm, which is a great thing! Edward took him out for some fetch and breaks outside throughout the day. I also appreciated his flexibility in arranging easy pick up and drop offs.”


About: We would love the company of your pup! Until the loss of our sweet boy Bean in June 2025, for 27 years we had our own dogs (up to three at one point). But now without any of them around anymore our home has become rather quiet. Enter your dog. We have more recent experience with senior dogs but are not unfamiliar with youthful energy as well. From the early days of the COVID pandemic we became accustomed to a largely home based life. This worked out well for our dog who had developed separation anxiety from when we had recently moved. As a result, to this day one of us is nearly always home. You can be assured that the companionship needs of your dog come first in our home. Living in a condo does not often afford the luxury of a fenced yard, however when pups in your charge need to “go”, rain or shine they simply must. This is what we believe anyway and it is how we live. Please know that your dog’s elimination and exercise needs also come first in our home.

About: I like to think of myself as a dog whisperer! I grew up with many dogs and helped to train service dogs in high school. I work fully remote from home. I am able to take breaks throughout the day to give all the attention to our furry friends! I love to go exploring on the weekends and would love to adventure with, or pamper, your 4 legged bestie. I am a very responsible caretaker! Pets are family, I would never treat them any other way. Paying attention to little indicators can make a huge impact on relationships with pets. Dogs can tell us so much! I live in an apartment close to multiple parks that I walk to weekly.

“I left my 3 months old puppy with Carolyn & Steven, it was great, they answered all of my questions and responded quickly to my messages, also they were flexible with the drop off and pick up times. I highly recommend this sitter!”



“Jennifer was absolutely incredible with Wizzy! The frequent photo and video updates were fantastic, and it was obvious that Wizzy was enjoying every minute. Jennifer provided truly attentive and loving care. We'll definitely be back!”


About: UPDATE: 6.15: Due to some short term changes, we are now taking dogs for day stays during the week in our home until September 12th! walks, play time and sunshine naps! Hello! We have absolutely loved getting to meet and care for furry friends and their parents! Its been such a joy sharing our home and love for the dogs that mean so much to us! Unfortunately at this time our professional careers have taken a different path and we are no longer able to book regular stays. Current clients can reach out and we will evaluate on a case by case basis. Thank you for your trust, it has meant so much to us! MUST LOVE DOGS! We are a newly married couple with 2 mini bernedoodles Otis(4) and Olive(2). We love dogs in this house and are looking to add more fury friends to hang out with our pack! We both grew up with dogs and started adding to our family in 2019. There is no shortage of hugs, cuddles and belly rubs in this house. We have a fenced in yard and take the dogs to park right next to our home multiple times a day! Julia works from home 100% of the time and David works from home 75% of the time and have the flexibility to have more love in our home:) Julia & David tag team dog duty! We both work full time but have the flexibility for multiple walks per day plus quick potty breaks outside when thats all thats needed! Julia will be the main source of walks and loves during the day. David has more flexibility after 5pm and then we tag team all of the work! We have a great 2 story house with plenty of room for more dogs! We have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs of our own. We have the space for crates as well! PLEASE NOTE: we take up to 2 additional dogs at a time (plus our 2) Beyond 4 gets a little nutty here :) if you are not comfortable with a big group - we totally understand! We are up early with our own dogs - immediate outdoor potty and breakfast. Around 830/9am is our first walk of the day. Backyard pee breaks if needed before a lunch walk which we take between 1230-130pm. We do an evening walk between 5-7pm and plenty of hugs in between! We can leave our backyard door open and the dogs can come and go if they need to relieve themselves in-between walks! We have a fenced in backyard - Its not huge, but its perfect for potty breaks and small zoomies! This is why we take the dogs to the park frequently. We also have a long driveway which we secure at the end if we want to do close to home zooomies with the ball. We have a security system which is armed at night and also alerts us to any approaching visitors during the day so that all are safe and secure in our home.

Sharon & Akira S.
“I can’t recommend Sharon enough as a pet caregiver. She’s one of the very few people I trust completely with our needy dog Murphy, and she's looked after him many times over the years. Every time I go out of town, I feel completely at ease knowing he's in Sharon's care. She's attentive, responsible, and genuinely loves dogs. She knows doggo quirks, reads their body language, and takes their well-being very seriously. I completely trust her to correctly give medications, not go crazy on treats, and feed him his high-maintenance diet the way he likes it. She also makes Murphy feel safe, happy, and loved. He always comes home happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little disappointed to leave Sharon’s care—the best review a dog can give! (His favorite thing is running into Sharon in the neighborhood :) If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet like family, you’ve found her. Sharon is the real deal.”


Allison A.
“Our family has had 2 cocker spaniels and 2 petite Labrador retrievers. Allison has lived with and been around these pets her entire life. She understands dogs and is a good caretaker. Our dogs have loved her and they miss her now that she has moved away. She will be an excellent dog walker and your pets will get excited to see her!”
