About: Hi there! I’m a proud father of two and two lovable rescue dogs – both German Shepherd mixes, one of whom has taught me a lot about patience, training, and handling reactivity challenges. Whether your pup is a playful bundle of energy or a bit more cautious, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. With years of experience caring for dogs (and other animals from snakes to bees and everything in beween) of all shapes, sizes, and quirks, I bring both reliability and a love for animals to every walk, play session, or cozy stay. Your furry friend will get plenty of attention, exercise, and love – just like I’d want for my own dogs! Let’s make tails wag together! 🐶🐕 As a proud dog dad of two rescue pups, pet care is already a natural part of my daily life. From morning walks and feeding routines to playtime and quiet moments, caring for animals is something I prioritize and truly enjoy. My experience includes handling a reactive dog, which has taught me patience, structure, and the importance of consistency. Whether it’s fitting in evening check-ins, daily walks, or weekend adventures, I’m flexible and happy to tailor my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I treat every pet as I do my own – with attention, care, and plenty of love.” Whether in my home or yours or walking your pup in the neighborhood or park, I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for your pets. At my home, I follow a structured routine with plenty of walks, playtime, and downtime to ensure pets feel secure and comfortable. Since I have two German Shepherd rescues (including one with reactivity challenges - don't worry, she's great with other dogs. It's people she struggles with), I’m experienced in managing different personalities, energy levels, and sensitivities. Safety, supervision, and comfort are my top priorities. In your home, I respect your pet’s routine and environment. I’ll follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean up after them, and make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, and attention. Whether that means a peaceful walk, playtime in the yard, or cozy companionship indoors, I adapt to your pet’s needs. I’m also happy to send regular updates so you know your furry friend is in great hands!

About: 🐕 🐕🦺 🐩 🦮 I host one dog at a time in my quiet house with outdoor space to sniff and explore. I work from home, so your pup gets full-time attention — plus friendly company from my own calm, gentle dog who’s always up for play, cuddles, and adventures. And yes, your dog can have the whole couch if they want it. It’s a low-key, comfortable place where dogs can relax, feel secure, and enjoy their own staycation. 🛋️💻🐾❤️ I work from home, so your pup won’t be left wondering where I went — I’m here all day for walks, playtime, snuggles, and potty breaks. My schedule’s flexible, which means I can stick to your dog’s routine or help them settle into something that feels good. Whether it’s a neighborhood walk to stretch our legs or a break for fetch in the yard, your dog will get steady, loving attention throughout the day. 🏡 Safety and comfort are everything here. I live in my own home, and your dog will have full run of the space — no crates (unless requested), no off-limits furniture, and plenty of cozy places to relax. I only host one guest dog at a time, so your pup gets my full attention and a peaceful, low-stress environment. I do have one friendly resident dog who’s used to sharing and enjoys having new siblings. I always introduce dogs slowly to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Your dog will be treated like family — with lots of love, supervision, and space to just be a dog.

Eleven is always excited to see Stephanie which makes me very happy.”

“Juliette was great with our dog, Cookie! Cookie can be shy and take some time to warm up, but when we picked her up she was super comfortable with Juliette and her dog, Elliot! Juliette was super communicative throughout the day as well. Would definitely recommend her! :)”
About: I’ve grown up with and had taken care of house hold and family pets since childhood. For the last four years I’ve been the main trainer, caregiver and best friend to my playful maltipoo Penny. I have extensive experience boarding and pet sitting for friends and family and am comfortable in households with multiple pets. I am a substitute teacher and freelance photographer with a flexible schedule. I’m able to do morning or afternoon walks depending on your dog’s established routines. I live in a condo in Northgate near multiple parks/ green spaces for long walks, as well as communal and private yard space for shorter potty breaks and play time. I have a happy and friendly 4 year old maltipoo who enjoys making new doggy friends.
About: I have extensive experience with shy and anxious dogs, as well as very active dogs. I really enjoy running with my own dog, as well as training. I have personally owned dogs from 10-100 pounds so any size is fine! Currently I am studying for licensing exams, so I am at home full time. I update availability regularly so you can be confident I can be available whenever your pup needs me! Safety is a top priority. I always follow your pet’s routine and instructions closely, from leash preferences to feeding needs. I keep a close eye on body language and behavior to make sure your dog is comfortable and safe at all times. I never let dogs off-leash in unsecured areas, and I’m happy to work with reactive or anxious pets using your established strategies.
“This was our dog Ollie's first time at Daniel's place and it went great! Daniel really seems to understand how to get along with anxious dogs and knew exactly how to interact with Ollie to make him feel comfortable. I'm excited it worked out well and can't wait for future visits. Thank you so much!”

“I could not recommend Brittany more highly as a pet sitter. She has watched my dogs multiple times and I always have peace of mind when I know she's responsible for their care. In particular, my geriatric golden retriever required a lot of patience and special needs, but Brittany looked after him lovingly like he was hers. Every time I was out of town and required a sitter, I wasn't worried about my dogs because I knew their feeding schedules and routines would be adhered to faithfully, and they'd be returned to me happy and and healthy. As a bonus, Brittany has an excellent eye for photography and always sends the best photo updates!”

Northgate dog parents share their Rover experiences
We moved to Seattle over a year ago, and ever since then, we have been desperately trying to find a reliable sitter that isn’t over an hour away to take care of our dog, Mochi. Mochi is anxious and a little neurotic, and we try to be as transparent as possible about her needs, but we are oftentimes still met with issues when she’s watched by other people. This wasn't the case with Ginger, though. When we scheduled the appointment, Ginger called right away to ask us some clarifying questions in order to make sure that Mochi would be able to have a good stay, as she had some other dogs over at the time and read in Mochi's profile and other sitter's reviews that she sometimes had issues with other dogs. When we brought Mochi over, Ginger was unbothered by her initial barking and let her sniff her in order for Mochi to familiarize herself with her. We left feeling cautiously optimistic, as she seemed to know her stuff, but we had been burned by other sitters before. But it turned out we didn't need to worry. When we came back to pick Mochi up later that night, Ginger let us know that everything had gone just fine. She was actually confused as to why other sitters had had problems with Mochi, as she didn't have any problems with her at all. It turns out that as long as the sitter is experienced enough to know what they're doing, Mochi is perfectly well-behaved. We had suspected as much, since Mochi behaves fine for us and we'd had success finding her sitters before the move, but we were beginning to doubt ourselves with how many of the sitters we tried in Seattle seemed to be having issues with her. Ginger is genuinely a dream come true after over a year of trying to find a dogsitter who wouldn’t balk at Mochi’s anxiety-related issues. We highly recommend anyone to work with her--she knows her stuff and cares about the dogs she works with. We will definitely be going to her again the next time we need a dogsitter!
