“Brisket had the best day with Keli and her family and even got to go on a hike to a new to him spot for the best new smells. Keli was very communicative with me and I really appreciated her flexibility in meeting with us ahead of time for a meet and greet. Brisket will definitely be back!”
“Susanne was great with our dogs. This was our first time with doggie day care. Susanne made us all feel reassured and comfortable. She is incredibly attentive and conscientious. We got many messages from her throughout the day. The pups seemed happy and content when we came to get them.”
About: I grew up helping my grandpa on his ranch and now as an adult my dog is my bestfriend I thank him everyday for my love for animals! I work 100% remote and would love to have another furry coworker! Also big into running so I’m looking for my next running partner! Would love to take your dog out during the day maybe even at night! My dog is super well behaved but spoiled she thinks she human and I can’t imagine life without her. I treat every dog like they are my own a blessing!
“Very clean home and our pup seemed like he really enjoyed his stay with Hui! She sent photos throughout the day and was very attentive. I appreciate her understanding and care with puppy. I hope she can watch Harvey in the future!”

“Sule was magical with our sweet 70# rottweiler/german shepard mix rescue. Soka was calm and happy when I picked her up after daycare. They took a nice walk together and played throughout the day. Sule works from home, so it was perfect. Thank you, Sule!”
About: I've been caring for dogs with love and intention since I was 14 — and now my husband and I get to do it alongside Kaia, my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel pup 🐶 She's warm, emotionally attuned, and genuinely excited to make a new friend — but she'll also give your pup all the space they need if they'd rather just cozy up solo. We have a fenced front yard, backyard, and cozy indoor space, so your fur baby will feel right at home. My husband and I work from home during the day, so there will always be someone available and taking care of the pets throughout the day. I have a fenced front and backyard, and a sweet, playful Cavalier King Charles Spaniel pup to keep them company. I can crate your dog and provide a safe space if they need it, and I will feed them at the designated time. We will only watch up to 2 pets (including our own) at a time, so you can be sure your pup will be given lots of care and attention.
“Allison has been absolutely amazing with our puppy, Lulu! She has great communication, is very flexible, and clearly truly cares about the dogs she watches. From the beginning, she took the time to ask detailed questions about Lulu’s routine so she could keep everything as consistent as possible while we were away. She sent pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was obvious Lulu was happy and well cared for. What really appreciated was that even though Lulu is still in training, Allison continued the habits and routines we’ve been working on at home. There was no disruption when Lulu came back to us, no acting out or setbacks. We will absolutely be repeat clients and would recommend her without hesitation. If you want someone who will genuinely care for your pet like their own, Allison is your person!”

“This was the first time I am using Rover and for that matter the first time to ever use a dog sitter. How fortunate are we to have found Chloe. She’s understanding and reassuring that Charlie will be well cared for and I truly believe she was. Chloe is calm and kind. She provided us with photos. ♥️ I won’t hesitate to used Chloe again.”
About: I love animals and have experience with elderly cats and dogs with special needs, as well as bunnies, chickens and goats. I know it can be difficult to find good care for our furry friends and I am happy to lend a helping hand to other pet owners when possible. I have extensive experience with elderly and special needs pets and with administering medications ( pills, oral injections, subcutaneous injections). At this time, I CANNOT care for PUPPIES nor DOGS WITH HIGH PREY DRIVE, as I have an elderly cat with cancer and limited mobility. My specializations: Cats/ Dogs: - Elderly animals – Senior pets with age-related needs and comfort requirements - Pets requiring medications – Pills, oral syringes, subcutaneous injections, and complex medication schedules - Dogs with limited mobility – Experience with mobility support, assistance with bathroom needs, and gentle handling - Socially anxious pets – Care for dogs with social anxiety, under-socialization (not aggressive), or "COVID / velcro dog" behaviors Chickens: - Proper nutrition and protein supplementation, correcting unwanted behaviors (brooding, egg pecking), spotting signs of parasite infestation and common diseases (Marek's disease), treating pasty butts Goats: - Goats – Proper nutrition and mineral supplementation, parasite prevention, recognizing signs of anemia (FAMACHA method) and other health issues, understanding their dietary needs and personalities What makes my service different: - Home all day – I work from home, so pets receive constant supervision and companionship (never left alone) - Pet sitting insurance – Professional coverage for your peace of mind - Senior & special needs specialist – Extensive experience with elderly pets, mobility issues, and chronic conditions - Medical care expertise – Comfortable with pills, oral syrinces, and subcutaneous injections - Secure fenced garden – Safe outdoor space for play and potty breaks - At home grooming station: I can give your dog a bath before handing the back to you (no other grooming services) Important: I cannot accept for boarding/day care in my home: ❌ Puppies under 1.5 year ❌ Extremely high-energy dogs requiring intensive exercise ❌ Dogs with high prey drive toward cats Why? My elderly and diasbled cat needs a calm environment where she feels safe and is not able to quickly run away or climb up if needed. Examples from my experience/Pets I've had the privilege of caring for: 1. I've taken care of an Australian Shepard mix who developed a neurological disease and wasn't able to walk on his own for over a year. I learnt how to support him to go to the bathroom and still live a meaningful life. 2. Took care of a 15 year old cat with renal failure, doing daily under-skin fluid injections and managing water intake and increased urination. 3. Cared for 16 year-old deaf and blind Border collie, with mild senile dementia. 4. I currenty have have an energetic Australian Kelpie with social anxiety and have experience dealing with "COVID dogs" or dogs who haven't been socialized a lot and may need some extra attention or are nervous around other people and dogs. 5. I worked as a permaculture consultant for 8 months, taking care of 12 chickens and 5 goats for a bay area homestead. I have expertise in providing correct food, and protein supplements for chickens health as well as prevent and spot issues with parasites. I work from home in the Bay Area, and I am available for dog boarding at my home and house sitting and taking care of your pets at your home. I can board pets at our home, which has a fairly large backyard (about 7,000sq ft) with mature trees and shaded areas. My home is calm and quiet—perfect for dogs who need a relaxed atmosphere. I maintain consistent routines and supervise all interactions between pets to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. Pets can stay inside, sleep on one two large confy dog beds, or on our couch / armchairs (unless you prefer they don't learn that behavior- please let me know). We live in a really nice and walkable residential neighbourhood perfect for small and extra long walks in a safe environement. We also have a dog washing station at home and I can provide baths for an additional small fee.
“Barbara was really great! Bella stayed with her for daycare today and she was awesome with her. She was very communicative and sent lots of pics to keep me updated. She even offered a meet and greet beforehand. Since the pup is such a senior and has special needs, it’s a relief to find someone who is so attentive and kind. I would definitely recommend booking with her.”
“Alissa was so sweet! She accommodated our last minute booking due to an urgent need and I felt so lucky that we found her! She also took amazing pictures of my dog ?❤️ We'd have definitely gone to Alissa again if we didn't move out of Seattle. Highly recommended!”

Bettina was wonderful! I liked that she wasn't over eager to book us to ensure our puppy was the right fit in her home. For a 5 month old working dog breed, she was gracious in helping watch him while we had to go into the office. I appreciate her attention to detail and while Archer ate a leaf off one of her houseplants & chewed a rug :(, she was more concerned about his safety which I am grateful for. Thank you again, Bettina!
Allison has been absolutely amazing with our puppy, Lulu! She has great communication, is very flexible, and clearly truly cares about the dogs she watches. From the beginning, she took the time to ask detailed questions about Lulu’s routine so she could keep everything as consistent as possible while we were away. She sent pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was obvious Lulu was happy and well cared for. What really appreciated was that even though Lulu is still in training, Allison continued the habits and routines we’ve been working on at home. There was no disruption when Lulu came back to us, no acting out or setbacks. We will absolutely be repeat clients and would recommend her without hesitation. If you want someone who will genuinely care for your pet like their own, Allison is your person!
Archer had SO much fun. I've never seen him at home so exhausted 🤣 He passed out in his crate 10 minutes after getting home from pick up. Thank you, Heidi! She and her bf took great care of Archer on our behalf. We were very worried about his first Rover but they made it feel like such a breeze. Appreciate your help!
Addie had an amazing time at Ming-Ching’s house! We’ll definitely be bringing her back for both doggie daycare and boarding. Communication was great, and we loved receiving pictures throughout the day—it gave us so much peace of mind. She clearly prioritizes safety and truly emphasizes attentive, thoughtful care. Highly recommend!
Although Tori can be shy at first, she bonded with Sarah instantly and had a fantastic time playing with the other dogs. I especially appreciate Sarah's patience with Tori's eating habits. Tori is a picky eater, and it was so kind of her to hand-feed Tori to ensure she was well-fed. Sarah also sent plenty of photo updates and took her on long walks. I highly recommend Sarah, and will definitely be back for another stay
Bradley took such amazing care of Zeus today! He came home so happy and completely worn out from the long walks, which says everything about the attention and exercise he got. It’s clear Bradley really cares and goes above and beyond. I felt totally at ease knowing Zeus was in such great hands—highly recommend!
Very prompt responses on communication. Was just a brief dog sitting for a couple hours but Henry was a good tired boy when he came back to us! He’s a little anxious about walking in new places and without both his mom & dad so we appreciate you doing his fav sprints on the grass near your place to make sure he got his exercise!
Julissa took excellent care of our dog, Sopita. Although our dog is a bit shy, Julissa did a great job at making her feel comfortable and enjoy her time at daycare. She also shared pictures of her settling in and on a walk which put us at ease. Would definitely recommend!
