“This is the first time I have left my Mochi with anyone. We had an unplanned change to our travel plans that forced us to leave her behind. I found Sandra by simply reviewing the reviews on Rover.com spoke with her by phone and took a chance. My experience?Wonderful care, several pictures of the stay and most importantly a very happy and healthy dog when I picked her up. Thank Sandra and all other wonderful dog sitters out there!”
“Taylor and their partner Olivia are wonderful people and dog sitters. They took such great care of Peanut and were super communicative. I truly had no time to worry about her because I regularly got photos and updates of how she was doing. I will definitely be booking with them again because I can trust they'll care for her well”
“Katherine is a reliable sitter who is super easy to work with. Very responsive and attuned to our pups needs. Will be requesting to work with her in the future!”
“Paul was great to work with. I loved all the photos and updates he shared during our time away. Georgia immediately felt welcomed and was excited to be in Paul’s home.”
“Evita is an amazing sitter!! I found her somewhat last minute, and she was nothing but incredible. My dog had a lovely time while I was away for work for a few days. She was attentive, made sure my dog had plenty of walks and playtime. She has a small dog, and my dog and hers got along so well! Definitely going to be using her all summer as my permanent sitter!”
“Kristopher took excellent care of our dogs. He was also a great communicator, quick to respond and kept us updated with pictures during the stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“Jason is a natural when it comes to caring for dogs. Sheldon warmed up to him instantly and his communication was spot on as he was kind, thorough, and thoughtful with his responses and updates along with plenty of pictures to keep me involved with his care. Gus & Star are very sweet as well and Sheldon left with new friends. Hoomans & doggos alike! Jason is flexible as well and simply made the whole process so easy I would highly recommend him to care for your pupper! Many thanks Jason 😊”
“Solid commitment to our dog. Dan consistently gave Ripley walks and good times during a cold and wet week. We appreciate knowing we could trust someone to take care of him and communicate with us easily. Thank you.”
“Lajetta went above and beyond in caring for my dog, Boo. He became a part of her family and was just loved on the whole time. My little guy bonded with her so quickly, and he's normally anxious with strangers. I couldn't be more grateful for her care of Boo, as well as meeting this amazing woman!”
“As first time Rover users, we feel so fortunate to have found Nad in taking great care of our senior cat, Chase & Corgi dog, Koji. She had kept us posted with daily pics and feedback of our fur babies which really helped put us at ease while we were away. It can be such a challenge when leaving an old cat and a younger dog to the care of someone new, thankfully Nad was able to fulfill the duty and made the boarding experience both peaceful and fun for my pets. We will definitely be back for Nad's service in the future the next time we plan a trip away from home.”
“Dahlia and her husband took wonderful care of Bo. He is a high energy dog and can be a bit talkative so it puts some folks off but Dahlia was fantastic and they took him on lots of walks and lots of play time. She sent me pictures multiple times a day and sent me updates which were lovely as one misses their friends when traveling. I will definitely be repeating services!!”
“Otis had another wonderful visit with Amber and her family. The moment we drove up to her home, Otis couldn’t wait to exit the car. He was thrilled to see Amber! We appreciate the exceptional care.”
“I cannot overstate how great Brittany is! She was so kind and loving to our boy Cooper and she made the extra effort to send updates on how things were going. She is also very responsive and accommodating. Truly I can’t say enough great things! 10/10 recommend ☺️”
“Zack was so sweet and caring with Fonzie! Fonzie came home to us calm & happy. We also had issues with flight delays and Zack was so flexible and kind about having to extend our stay. 10/10 would recommend him!”
About: While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, I have experience dog sitting for family and friends pets. I work from home and am able to take your furry friend out and about for potty breaks throughout the work day. After work I love taking long walks through the city and I can’t wait to have company if your pet is up for it! Dogs have been a part of my life since I was little and I have always consider them family. Pets are encouraged to snuggle up next to me on the couch while I’m working and in bed for the night. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry companion! I am a work from home gal who is able to take your pet out for frequent potty breaks. I am available for care 7 days a week. I live in an apartment but indoor play and long walks are a specialty of mine. Dogs can expect unlimited cuddles and walks to burn energy.
“Noemi & her family took awesome care of our dog, Pippa, while we took our quick trip to Seattle! The updates & pictures let us know she was in good hands & we now have peace of mind going when we go out of town again. Thank you, Noemi!”
“Rilo had another great stay with Hayleigh! He was so happy when we pulled up to the driveway, I could tell he is well cared for and has a lot of fun with everyone in the household during his stay! 10/10 will use again 😊”

Keelan and his wife were so wonderful to my baby boy Domino. They were communicative and flexible with my return from the Gorge Ampitheatre (you never know how much traffic there will be) they sent pics multiple times a day and based on the cuddles I saw in the photos I can tell Domino made himself at home with them and their two cute pups, Loki and Minty. I would absolutely recommend them and hope to book with them again. Highly recommend!
Emiline is the best! We are repeat clients, and I can’t say enough good things about Emiline. She is communicative, thoughtful, warm, and considerate, and goes above and beyond in all ways. I never worry about our sensitive and nervous dog when she’s in Emiline’s care—I know Emiline will take excellent care of her.
I cannot recommend Kaherine enough! She went above and beyond for my dog during her stay. I especially appreciated the daily updates and photos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Beyond the standard walks, she really took the time to engage my dog in fun activities and training. A huge highlight for me was her help in socializing my pup with other dogs it was a major milestone, and seeing the progress she made in such a short time was incredible. She is reliable, attentive, and clearly cares deeply about the pets she looks after. I will definitely be booking with her again!
Dahlia watched our pup Frankie over our two week wedding vacation (I know, sad we couldn’t bring her) and she was amazing! We received multiple photos throughout the day, and she was extremely fast at responding - even with the 3 hour time change. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend Dahlia for any pet support needed!!!
Clarissa was wonderful! I haven't left my pup in another home in years and she made me feel super secure with leaving him. Came over to visit and get to know his routines and was so flexible with his stay- Working around my crazy trips! So glad to know Clarissa is available and I have someone I can trust close by!
Bryan is a gem with dogs. The first time Gilly stayed with Bryan, she was nervous and a bit on edge. Bryan calmed her and they ultimately had a successful time together. The second time I dropped Gilly for a long weekend, I was a bit apprehensive about how she’d react to being left again. The moment she saw Bryan, she was THRILLED and strutted away without so much as a glance back. She clearly feels at ease with him, which is so reassuring. Further, he’s extremely kind, responsive, and flexible. We will 1000% be reaching out to Bryan for future dog sitting needs!
Another amazing staycation! Boogie loves spending time with Trish and Kevin. He gets so excited right when we arrive to their home. They have been so great with taking care of our Boogie boy, we get plenty of updates and photos which help us feel so happy to see and hear he is having the best time.
Can’t recommend Brittany enough! They were super patient and thoughtful with our anxious pup, and kept us updated with pictures and the latest on how she was doing. They really understood our dogs needs and what the situation called for. Highly recommend you use them if you need a sitter!
This is the second time Christine and Steven have watched our two small dogs and we couldn’t be happier. Leaving your dogs can be very stressful but Christine and Steven made it obvious that they were being cared for the whole time. We will definitely use them again in the future.
