“Mackenzie was absolutely amazing! I was so worried to leave my senior pets for 10 days but she put me ease with her kindness and experience. She had great communication and compassion towards my pets when they had an accident. I felt like she truly loved them as her own. We also loved getting photo updates throughout our trip- she even crocheted cute little hats for the dogs and cat. Would love to have her back to sit again!”

“Elaina was an excellent sitter, she was quick on the uptake and just the initial greet left me confident in her care. She watched Kanna overnight and was very communicative. I believe she went above and beyond on walks and play too. I got so many lovely photos and updates, would absolutely hire again and recommend!!”

“We found our perfect housesitter/doggo sitter! I’ll admit, I was a little nervous at first about having someone we didn’t know come into our home to care for our three mischievous pups. We had always relied on friends and family, so this was a brand-new experience for us. From the very beginning, Anja completely put our minds at ease. She was incredible with our doggos, sent us daily photos that made us smile, took them for walks, snuggled and loved on them and took wonderful care of our home. Truly, I wish I could give her 10 stars—she’s that amazing. We couldn’t be happier and hope to use her Rover skills again and again. Thank you Anja!”


“Kory is an outstanding sitter for our dogs. Our oldest dog is pretty cranky and hard to please, but she is always happy after Kory has been in charge. We also have a special needs dog who simply cannot get enough of Kory's attention! We feel completely confident in Kory's ability to handle anything that comes up while we are away, and we will not book with anyone else.”

“Angelica was amazing! She stayed in our home with our dogs, sent lots of photos and videos. Both dogs were so comfortable and loved her. Our house was left in great condition when we got home. We would love to use Angelica again and would recommend her to anyone!”

“We took a week long trip and Laney took great care of our 4yr old corgi as well as did a great job of housesitting while we were away. She met with us twice prior to our trip and was great about communication and sending pictures and videos while we were away, which gave us great assurance that he was being well cared for. When we got home, our dog was so happy to see us and the house was in great shape, mail on our entry table and boxes delivered while away were brought inside. Very pleased!”

About: Hello! We are Hunter and Ellyssa. Just a married couple that grew up with farm animals and loves dogs. Together, we've fostered 4 rescue dogs - some reactive, some super calm - and raised them to become ready for their forever homes! We don't have any pups of our own right now and so we are welcoming all kinds of pups in our home! Ellyssa (uh-Lisa) has taken care of doberman's and dachshunds since she was 11 years old. She loves every type of dog personality and looks forward to dog walks as much as the dogs. She has helped rescue dogs from Mexico and has fostered over 10 dogs of varying ages from 4 months to 13 years old senior dogs. Hunter grew up with 2 golden retrievers named Rosie & Susie and then became a dog trainer for search and rescue dogs in North Carolina. He's helped train puppies up until they were 3 years old and loves to learn about every dog's quirks. We both work flexible remote jobs and spend 6 out of 7 days at home. When we do choose to go in-office, it's usually just to get out of the house. Because of our flexible jobs, we are able to build our schedules around puppy care and senior care needs. We're happy to provide boarding and daycare at our home or at your home! Wherever your pups are most comfortable with. Walking visits are also available if we can arrange a regular schedule so it can be worked into our work calendars! For all services, we will ask you for your dog’s daily routine, their personality quirks, preferences, etc. so they can trust us sooner! And of course, we will send photos! Daycare, housesitting, and overnight stays would be structured around your pup’s existing schedule. Walks and check-ins would occur as close to your pup’s schedule as possible with the time range you choose. We are experienced with both puppies (hard minimum age of 8 weeks) and senior dogs that have a range of diet, potty, and oral medication needs. We are also experienced with reactive dogs with a history of biting. However, we only take reactive dogs on a case-by-case basis after a trial meet and greet walk with you (the human) present. We live in a very pet-friendly apartment complex that has a dog spa station that we use for grooming visiting pups. Our own apartment is a spacious 1100+ square foot 2 bed/2 bath apartment with a patio that has space for up to 2-3 dogs for boarding. We live near a very walkable neighborhoods and 2 parks that are dog friendly. We also live near Edmonds and enjoy taking dogs to the beach if they are a fan of humans and water.
“Carina did an excellent job of taking care of Cooper in our home. They seem to have bonded nicely. She sent daily updates and took really great photos of him! Our house was in perfect condition on our return.”

“Holly took great care of our pup and our home while we were out of town. She was clearly very attentive to him and sent lots of updates throughout each day. We were able to relax and enjoy the trip knowing he was very well cared for!”

“Joe is fantastic! He is so calm and sweet and his energy instantly makes dogs feel comfortable. We loved having him watch our dog, and we appreciated the updates and photos!”

“Mary Ann is a wonderful pet sitter! Our dog absolutely loves her and that gives us great peace of mind when we travel. Great communicator, left our home clean and our dog well loved! Plus she left us flowers when we returned!”


“Wenlin helped us so much while watching our dog Peppercorn! She was flexible and responsible when we were out of the country and had to coordinate with several other caregivers. We were grateful to have her help, she went above and beyond!”

“Merilee did a great job taking care of our pets while we were gone for over a week. The communication was great, Merilee took a genuine interest in their health and well being and we came back to a well taken care of house and happy pets.”

“Bricca was great with my grumpy senior dog! She left the house looking great, and even replaced some cook books my boy had gotten into to shred. Great communication. Would love to have her sit again .”

“Cindy stayed at our home with our dog and two cats for two nights. She was wonderful with them and sent us daily photos and updates. She took great care of our pets and home and we would definitely book with her again. Thank you Cindy!”

“George took great care of our two dogs while we were away on a trip. He is very responsive and sent lots of updates. We really appreciated the flexibility in his schedule that allowed him to check in often. We came home to a couple of happy guys! We will be booking with him again on our next trip.”

“Very thorough and responsive, we felt so comfortable leaving our two boys in Jon’s care. We were able to focus on our daughter’s wedding while we were out of state, without worry about our pups. We strongly recommend to anyone in the area looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to walk or sit for their fur babies!”

“We cant thank Kristen enough for her patience, kindness and expertise with our mischievous pets! From the start Kristen was professional, understanding, and prepared for anything. Our dogs can be a handful, but Kristen handled them like a true pro, keeping them safe, happy and entertained. She updated us with messages and adorable photos, and it was clear our pups were in excellent hands. We returned home to happy dogs and a clean home - we couldn't have asked for a better first time experience. Highly recommend Kristen for any pet parent, even if your pups are on the "naughty" side!!”

Lindsey has done a wonderful job caring for our anxious pup in our home! She communicates very well (with fun pictures). It was very hot while we were away and she proactively thought about watering plants and doing dog walks in the cool part of the day. We plan to have her sit again!!! Thank You!

Ellyssa and Hunter took wonderful care of our Dachshund, Bentley, while house-sitting. They were communicative, professional, respectful of our home, and incredibly kind and patient with Bentley's quirks. They quickly understood his personality, and he warmed up to them right away - playing, lounging in the sun, and enjoying plenty of blanket snuggles. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was so comfortable and well cared for while we were away. We've already booked them for our next trip and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring pet sitters!

As always, Elaina is a gem. The day started with Ace barging into the house, because he smelled Elaina and then he-politely- tackled her when he saw her. He just loves her so much! It was hot when she watched our dog, and she was totally on it. She didn't take him on a longer afternoon walk because it was just too hot. It makes all the difference when you can trust the person watching your dog! We also came home to all of our dishes done, which just about made me cry, it was such a nice touch to come home to after a long day at work!

Amy and our almost 3-year old puppy have quickly become best buds. I knew the first time we met Amy that would be the case. She sends us photos of Inky who always looks like she's very relaxed or having fun or both. I would definitely recommend anyone to hire Amy to take care of their 4-legged family members except when we need her!!

David was great with the dogs and always gave sent us pics of their adventures. He was dog sitting our pups at our home and left our home in the same condition that we left it. David was very professional, communicative, and understanding. Our dogs had a great time with David, and they were missing him by the end.

Maya was extremely attentive to our dogs. She provided consistent updates, was communicative with us, and sent lots of photo updates through the day. We have a dog with a lot of medical issues and she was able to administer the drugs to her, no problem. We have another dog that has lots of separation anxiety and Maya was willing to stay with her for most of the day. We came back to a tidied up house. We appreciate Maya and we hope to be able to use her in the future.
