“We left for a full week. I was really nervous to leave my 2 dogs and cat with a “stranger” but Allison provided us with a visit before our trip to make sure that we felt comfortable with her as well as the puppies. The day we left she show up on time as scheduled and she make me feel really good before we left assuring me that everything will be okay. Every day she send me pictures of my puppies and she gave me constant updates. My dogs absolutely love her, and even the cat that really doesn’t like anybody, warm up to her. If you are looking on someone reliable and loving to take care of your best friends I should absolutely recommend Allison.”

“Stephanie was awesome. Very knowledgeable, caring and professional. We have a high energy puppy with a broken toe and splint. We also live in a big apartment complex with a lot of doors/codes. Stephanie was able to navigate all of our extra demanding needs no problem and seemed happy while doing it. She saved us multiple times by coming last minute (I work from home but can have last minute on-site meetings materialize) several days in a row. She even texted us to warn us about the doggy-cough that’s been going around in our area. A+ dog sitter. We really lucked out!! Highly recommend!!”

She made sure to communicate about how she was doing and was extra sensitive to Cora’s extra needs, making sure to get her medication on time! I would definitely have her come stay with Cora again.”

About: I have been a dog owner for as early as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and have always loved taking care of them. I am the proud owner of a Norwegian Elkhound named Luna. Luna gets along well with others and I take her to the dog park frequently. I am a very outdoorsy person and love taking my dog for walks and spending time with her!I live here in Seattle with my boyfriend who is also a very outdoorsy person. We love hiking together as well. I can't wait to meet your pup! Thank you for your consideration😊 I currently work as a Dental Assistant but only 3 days a week. The days alternate weekly so depending on the week I will have different availability. I will however always have Saturdays and Sundays off! I live in a one bedroom apartment in the Udistrict so I mainly walk my dog from my apartment to the park that is two blocks away. Will go multiple time a day.

“Stephanie did an awesome job with our dogs! This was my first experience using rover.com and I was worried about hiring a stranger to watch over my dogs, one of which is still recovering from surgery earlier this week. The dogs felt comfortable with her the moment she walked in the door, so my worries faded quickly. I will definitely have Stephanie back for future visits.”

She was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced. The dogs took to her immediately, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life! I do have a pup of my own, but am still sitting for those that are in need and don’t mind another dog in the home! I am also doing dog-walks and pop-ins! I work from home so your pup wont be alone. Weekends are usually open. I love all sizes and can’t help but spoil any one I meet! I have experience with both small and larger dogs. I would love to walk or jog with your pet, even if it is cold outside depending on what they can handle. Feel free to message me with any questions! I work for myself and from home so I am able to adjust my work schedule pretty well. No dogs have needed to be kenneled while working. I have a pup of my own that loves to play with others. If they do not get along, I have a gate at that can keep them separate-although I have not had this issue yet. We have a big crate that can home your pup when we are out of the house.

We were gone for an extended stay and came back to happy pups! Allison was so good with communicating and sending pics that it helped us relax and know they were being well taken care of!!

Will definitely be using Allison again!

Since this was our first time using Kendra, we began with a meet-and-greet. Her interaction with Lucy felt genuine, and Lucy quickly warmed up to her, which made us confident in our choice. Kendra communicated well, letting us know when she arrived, when she let Lucy out, and providing updates throughout her stay. Her care for dogs is clear, and we highly recommend her. We look forward to asking her to watch Lucy again. I give her an excellent grade.

Daniel stayed in our home with our two medium/large dogs for a full week and they all did great! He sent pics daily, kept us up to date with activities around the house, and even took out the trash and pulled the trash and recyle bins to the street! The house was clean and the furballs were well fed and happy! Highly recommend Daniel if you're looking for overnight pet care!

Jane stayed at our home with our Cavapoo five days. At first, our pet was a little skeptical of Jane, but she worked very hard to win him over. They became good friends before she left. Great communication. Lots of photos. Neighborhood walks. Very caring. And responsible. We would have no hesitation having Jane in our home with our pet in the future. Hopefully, she feels the same.

Shelbi was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we connected, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. She treated my pet like family and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of while I was away. The updates, photos, and attention to detail gave me complete peace of mind. It was obvious that my pet was happy, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love and attention. Coming home to a well-cared-for, relaxed pet made all the difference. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, I cannot recommend Shelbi highly enough. I would gladly book with her again and encourage anyone considering her services to do the same. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Shaylen was so amazing. It was our first time booking through an in-home pet sitter and we couldn’t have asked for someone better. She sent us daily updates on the pets, took the time to get to know them before we actually left them in her care, and our house and pets were in great hands. Thank you Shay!

Words cannot express the appreciation I have for Eric. I have high needs animals, and I am pretty sensitive about the way they are worked with. Eric took the time to come and make sure my dogs were comfortable with him and that I was comfortable. He recommended setting up a google drive file for he and I to communicate as the days approached. I will continue to use him as I need support and I would recommend him to anyone!

Absolutely amazing house and dog sitter. She went above and beyond in every way and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Tiger was so loved, cared for, and spoiled the entire time — we could tell immediately when we got home. She kept us updated, treated our home with care, and truly cared for Tiger like he was her own. We are beyond grateful and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation! 🐾✨

Jordyn was fantastic! She was very communicative before, during, and after the sitting, so I was never left wondering what was going on. She and my babies totally connected and it left me feeling very confident to leave without worrying. She's very personable and I trusted her immediately. She will be my go to whenever she's available. Thank you Jordyn!
