Doggy Day Care O'Brien

About: I treat each pup like part of the family—whether that means sticking closely to your dog’s routine, giving extra cuddles, or providing gentle care for seniors or high-energy playtime for puppies. My home is safe, calm, and dog-friendly, with plenty of room to relax or play. I send regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is in loving hands. As a retiree, pet care is truly a part of my everyday life—and something I genuinely enjoy. Since I’m home full-time, your dog will never be left alone for long periods and will receive constant attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. My daily routine is built around keeping dogs happy and comfortable, from morning walks and playtime to relaxed afternoons and evening cuddles. I keep a calm, quiet home where dogs can feel safe and relaxed, and I’m always available for feeding, potty breaks, or just spending quality time with them. When pets stay in my home, I treat them like one of the family. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, walk times, play habits, and bedtime routines—to help them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. My home is clean, quiet, and dog-friendly, with plenty of space for lounging, supervised playtime, and cozy naps. I give each dog plenty of personal attention throughout the day, whether that means going for walks, playing fetch, or just offering a warm lap to curl up on. If your dog needs medication, special meals, or extra care (like for puppies or seniors), I handle it all with patience and attention to detail. I also keep pet parents updated with regular messages and photos, so you can rest easy knowing your pup is in good hands.

“Took very good care of my dog, I got lots of updates through the day. Will be using again”

About: I’ve spent more than 20 years caring for animals, and being around pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve owned dogs for most of my life, and when I didn’t have one of my own, I was the person friends, family, and neighbors relied on to care for theirs. My experience includes caring for both large and small dog breeds, each with their own personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve also cared for rabbits and horses and spent several summers on a farm, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of animals and teaching me the importance of patience, consistency, and responsible care. In addition, my brother is a professional dog trainer, which has given me valuable insight into dog behavior, communication, and positive handling techniques. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’ve learned practical skills that help me understand dogs and create a calm, safe environment for them. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of attention, and lots of love while you’re away. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else takes trust. My goal is to treat every animal like they’re part of my own family, so you can feel confident knowing they’re in caring, dependable hands. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy making time for it. I’m currently pretty flexible, and starting in September, I’ll mainly be available afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My schedule can vary from time to time, but I’ll always keep my availability updated and make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they need. I try to make every pet feel as comfortable as possible by sticking to the routine they’re used to. Every dog is different, so I always ask about their schedule, personality, and any special instructions before I start caring for them. If I’m working that day, I always make sure we get a good walk in before I leave. It’s a great way for them to use the bathroom, burn off some energy, and start the day on a positive note. I usually aim for at least a 30-minute walk. When I get home, we head back outside for another potty break and walk. Depending on your dog’s age, energy level, and what they enjoy, our walk might be 30 minutes or it could turn into a longer walk around the neighborhood. Before bed, I always take them out one last time so they’re comfortable for the night. I follow whatever feeding schedule you already have in place, whether that’s in the morning, afternoon, or evening. I know pets thrive on routine, so I do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own. They’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, affection, fresh water, and lots of love. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for—and for you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re in good hands.

“She did an amazing job with our dog! She was very flexible and able to take him on last minute. She kept us updated on how he was doing and very responsive to us through his time there. If we lived locally, we definitely would be back.”

“I think my puppy just had the best day ever! She is absolutely wiped and positively happy. Marina and Richard were very communicative as well! Really looking forward to having my puppy stay with them again.”

Natalie J.

“Andrea is lovely and was really great with my dogs. She is super easy to communicate with and my dogs were very comfortable with her. I will highly recommend her to anyone and will certainly bring my dogs back the next time I need a sitter!”

“Kristina is an amazing furbaby sitter, and we are so grateful for the care and attention she gives to Enzo every time he stays with her. Enzo is a regular with Kristina, which says a lot about the trust and comfort we feel leaving him in her care. She is dependable, kind, and truly treats him like family. We always appreciate the updates, love, and patience she gives him, and it gives us peace of mind knowing he is safe, happy, and well cared for. Enzo always comes home relaxed and happy, and we highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾”

About: Who I Am I'm not just a sitter, I genuinely care about creating a calm, fun, and safe space for every pet, and making their humans feel completely at ease. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I focus on clear communication, daily updates, and thoughtful photos so you always know your pet is happy and loved. Need more updates or less? No worries, just let me know and I'm happy to adjust. Experience I have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, cats (including shy and slow-to-warm personalities), senior pets, anxious pets, and animals with medical or prescription needs. I'm comfortable adapting to changing needs and will always put your pet's comfort first. Growing up with cats, dogs, fish, birds, guinea pigs, turtles, and even a tarantula, I bring a genuinely diverse skill set and a lifelong love of animals to every stay. I'm also dog and cat CPR and first aid certified. What to Expect My schedule is flexible, so pets get plenty of attention, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I typically accept up to two dogs at a time to keep things calm and personal. For pet owners who prefer an exclusive stay, I'm happy to block my schedule for just one dog for an additional $20 per day. At home, dogs enjoy a fenced backyard to explore, sniff, and relax safely. Travel Made Easy I offer pick-up and drop-off, (fee varies by location) which past clients have found especially helpful when juggling travel schedules. I can accommodate early morning or late-night drop-off and pick-up times to fit your flight schedule. I also offer complimentary airport parking and a ride to the terminal if scheduling works out. I'm just minutes from SeaTac Airport, the Tukwila Light Rail, and the Sounder Station, making drop-off and pick-up seamless for travelers. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m able to take breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and check‑ins without any stress or rushing. It actually makes my day better. Having animals around keeps things fun! Because I’m home most of the time, pets get lots of attention and I can stick closely to their normal routines. Whether they need frequent potty breaks, extra snuggles, or a quiet space to relax, I’m here and available throughout the day. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable experience that matches their routine, not the other way around. Every pet is different, so the way I care for them is always a conversation based on what you and your pet need. In my home, pets get: • A fenced‑in backyard for safe exploring and play • A quiet, relaxed environment that works well for shy or anxious pets • Plenty of walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day • A consistent routine that mirrors what they’re used to at home • Lots of updates so you always know how they’re doing In your home, I keep things familiar and stress‑free by: • Following your pet’s normal feeding, play, and potty schedule • Keeping their environment calm and predictable • Respecting any special instructions, quirks, or comfort items • Making sure they get the same love and attention they’re used to • Sending regular updates so you feel completely at ease My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and understood and to make you feel confident and relaxed while you’re away.

About: I grew up with animals and have had a cat of my own (Mern) since 2017. I built a solid clientele when I did Rover throughout college, many of whom I worked with for several years. I am comfortable with all breeds and ages. I have spent extensive time (both in professional and personal settings) caring for small breeds like dachshunds, chihuahuas, and pomeranians, as well as larger breeds like German shepherds, huskies, and Great Danes. I also have friends with higher energy breeds such as border collies, heelers, and whippets that I love to care for. I’m very excited to be back on Rover and am confident I can meet your pet’s needs :) feel free to reach with any questions! I work from home so I am pretty flexible! I can always plan to take some time out of my day for walks, feeds, playtime, etc. My main goal is to keep your pet safe and ensure they feel safe as well. I like to understand what is familiar to them so I can create a trusting environment.

“I’m a repeat client of Chuk’s and couldn’t be happier with the care she provides for my senior dog. She’s incredibly kind, communicative, and always goes out of her way to make sure my dog is comfortable and well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing my pup is in such good hands. Chuk is also very accommodating and easy to work with. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter!”

“This was Emma's first time with Stanley and Victoria. Stanley was very prompt replying to my request for short notice day care and even spent time on New Year's Day for a short meet and greet. Emma was happily tired from walks and playing with other dogs and very relaxed when I took her home. It's great to be able to leave Emma in good hands with Stanley and Victoria.”

About: Your small dog wont just be watched - they'll be welcomed into a real home with teens, another dog, and a calm old cat who has seen it all. Your baby will be part of our normal household life... car pools, walks & lots of snuggles. As a stay-at-home mom to two teens, a Maltese poodle, and a cuddly old cat, pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. Your dog will be treated like part of the family — coming along on errands, joining us for walks, and even tagging along while I shuttle my teens to their activities. They’ll settle right in as one of our own. I am very active & walk/run daily! I would love to bring your pup along to explore all the things. My home has a fully fenced yard, so dogs have safe space to play and roam. I have a friendly Maltese poodle who’s used to new company (she even goes to work with her dad a couple days a week), and an unfazed old tomcat who’s seen it all and takes new dogs in stride.

“Trisha was great coordinating and caring for Ari. We only needed Daycare, but we were on a cruise and our son was the drop off and pick up. Ari enjoyed being in the fenced back yard and spending time with Trisha’s son.”

About: I’ve had a dog in my house for most of my life. I’ve had very small dogs and giant breed dogs. The largest was 110 pounds. I have volunteered with the ASPCA in the Bay Area. I also have volunteered for many years at the Humane Society in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as well I’m a huge dog lovers that make our own food. There are also two parks within walking distance from our house. So when your pet stays with me, I will be able to take them to an off leash area multiple times a day. I am an early risers. Your pet will be at the dog park before 6 AM. We play at the dog park that early and take care of our potties. After that, we will come back home, and have our breakfast. The rest of the morning is watching me and my partner clean up and prepare for the day. A mid afternoon break to go back to the park and play off leash. If the park is full, I usually just take a long walk. I try to make sure that they get a couple long walks a week, just so they can get their sniffing in. In the evening, a much longer trip to the park to play. I generally feed dinner around 5 PM. Then cuddling and hanging out for the rest of the evening. I am usually in bed before 10 o’clock I will make sure that all small items that could be chewed up by animals is kept put up. I have many chew toys for the to play with to encourage playing with toys versus destroying property.

“This was my 1st time with Daniel & Joelle, who were very accommodating. My pup did a day long to get used to them & see if she'd be a good fit for a week upcoming boarding. Everything went well. Meelo is a very sweet old guy, which is great for my pup who's been bullied & is shy at first. Though it was her 1st day & so somewhat anxiety provoking to be left, she still seemed relaxed when I picked her up & asked everyone for scratches & pets during the day. It also seemed she took a liking to their daughter Esther:) She'll try a week there a few weeks from now.”

“This was my first experience using Rover for my 6 month puppy. My sweet girl was loved on while exercising and socializing. It was the perfect scenario for my pup to have when I’m working full days. I will definitely be using again! Mallory sends photos, updates and is wonderfully attentive. She also has a flexible schedule that helps with last minute changes in my own schedule and planning.”

Andi S.

“Sara took the best care of our pup! Immediately when she took him our dog felt comfortable and at ease and sometimes he can be weary of strangers for a few minutes so this is a testament to how amazing she is! He came back happy and tired. Would definitely recommend her service to any dogs who love to play all day and socialize with other pups.”

Kieran L.

“Tania always does an amazing job with my dog and puppy while we are at work on our long days. The dogs love her and they are always tired after she spends time with them.”
