“Teddy let me know when he arrived, sent photos, and spent time playing with my dogs after their dinner. Dogs were happy and the house was perfect when I got home. Highly recommend!”


“Brent was great with our dog Jinx. He cane to meet her first and she liked him right away. He communicated well and arrived on time. And took some great photos! We will definitely use Brent as a dog walker again.”


“Molly was an amazing cat sitter yet again, always love getting the photos and updates and know my cat is getting lots of sweet attention when she’s caring for her!”


“She was available last minute and very friendly with the pups. While I was gone, the pups made a bit of a mess (getting into trash and a bit of pee inside) that were left there. But I didn’t explicitly ask her to clean their messes, and she seems to have followed at least the primary instructions, so there’s that. Overall, pretty solid experience for what she charges.”


“Maryia looked after my very shy and timid cat for three days. She was very communicative, professional, on time, and very considerate of my cat's fear of strangers. Would definitely book with Maryia in the future! Thanks again!”


About: I have taken care of lots of wonderful dogs and cats throughout my life! A cat lady at heart because of my two fur babies, I genuinely love all animals! Missing a dog in my life currently, I would love to take on dog walking opportunities as needed! I have experience administering oral medication and taking care of senior animals. I work full time, but work from home several days a week and my weekends are wide open! I am open to drop in services to hang out with your kitties or walk your pups as needed! I have two cats in my own home who are friendly and comfortable around small dogs. In clients homes, I am comfortable around dogs and cats of all kinds! I love going for long walks or runs if your pup is up for it!

“Clara was an amazing sitter for my two cats while I was on vacation! She was reliable and provided great updates and pictures of the cats which were so nice to see while away from home and missing them. :)”


“Kay took wonderful care of my two cats while I was away for four days. She had to give two finicky cats their medicine and was able to get them both to take it happily.”


“Sarah was fantastic! She took great care of my cat and was super reliable. I loved her updates and she left really detailed notes, which gave me peace of mind. Would absolutely boom again!”


About: I have been caring for horses and fish since age 6, and dogs since age 9. I am a LIMA and balanced dog trainer with extensive knowledge of canine behavior and psychology, allowing me to better understand and communicate with your canine friend. I have completed the Dog Trainer Foundations course from Karen Pryor Academy, and I am working towards full certification with them. My training experience includes training service dogs and working on reactivity and behavioral issues, though I specialize in public access skills, socialization, obedience behaviors, and manners training. This extensive experience and knowledge are what allow me to understand your dog at the core of their being, so that I can give them what they need while they are under my care. My pet care experience includes dog walking and house sitting for dogs of many breeds and mixes. I put a focus on ensuring that both the mental and physical needs of each animal are met so that all involved can have a good experience. I have experience caring for senior and disabled (sometimes called special needs) dogs and have a special place in my heart for them. I recently moved back to Seattle. Most of my days are fairly open because I don't have a specific work schedule, allowing ample time to care for your furry friend. I utilize either a leash or long line (depending on the activity) when outdoors with client dogs to maximize safety and freedom when not in the home. I communicate every activity with my clients to ensure they know exactly where their pet is and when. Generally, I minimize greeting other dogs and people until I know the dog and client well to avoid any accidents or safety concerns that may arise. If greeting does occur, it is with the knowledge of the client and in conditions that are as controlled as possible for the safety of myself, your pet, and other people or animals around us. My approach centers around the idea that each animal is an individual with different needs and preferences, which can change minute to minute, or even second to second. My utmost concern will always be, "what does this animal need from me? What are they asking for right now? How can I improve their experience?" I want each animal I care for to feel safe with me and excited for what's to come. If you crate your dog at home or adhere to a routine, that is easy for me to continue to do as the sitter.

“Myriah was absolutely wonderful! She was easy to communicate with, sent awesome pictures that kept my son happy so he was never worried about his cats. I have 100% confidence in her and can’t wait to use her next time. Thank you so much!”


“I'm so thankful Nhu is one of our regulars. She's been so helpful and really cares about my pups. Recently I asked for a very last minute drop-in visit when my pup got sick--she was so accommodating and made it work into her schedule, stayed longer than she needed to, and even cleaned up his accidents. She provides updates after her drop-in visits which I really appreciate as well :) Thanks Nhu!”


About: Hi there! I grew up in a family deeply connected to animal care—my father was a veterinarian working with the animal CDC, and I spent much of my childhood surrounded by animals, even playing in the local zoo thanks to a family friend who was the zoo director! Our family has always had a special bond with dogs, especially our beloved black poodle, and my mom later became a community leader advocating for responsible pet ownership and better dog welfare. With this unique upbringing, I’ve developed a natural ability to understand dogs’ behavior and needs. I connect with them quickly, helping them feel safe, calm, and happy. Though I don’t currently have a pet due to apartment restrictions, I regularly care for my friends’ dogs and cats, taking them on beach trips, car rides, and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I treat every dog like family—with patience, respect, and joy—because I believe every pet deserves not just care, but experiences that make tails wag and hearts full. As a part-time semi-professional violinist, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your furry friend. Since I’m currently living in an apartment that isn’t ideal for having a dog of my own, becoming a pet sitter is the perfect way for me to stay connected with animals I love. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs—not just walking and playing, but also offering them comfort and companionship. Pet care brings me joy and balance, and I see every visit as a chance to create a win-win: your pet gets a loving, attentive sitter, and I get the happiness of being around animals that make life better. At the moment, I’m not offering in-home boarding unless your pup is already comfortable living in an apartment environment. I want to make sure they feel safe and happy here! As for staying in clients’ homes, I generally don’t offer that service for personal safety reasons—though I’ll admit, if your pup is way too cute to resist, I just might make an exception. 😊

About: I have good experience babysitting cats and dogs of different breeds and personalities . I’m patient, and a loving person. Reliable and responsible person. Also looking to exercise more with a furry companion. I am open to do first meetings :) I’m current between jobs, and waiting for my graduation. Looking to do extra cash meanwhile ☺️ I have time to do walks and feeding visits. My apartment is safe with security all day and night. I live with my cat therefore all risks have been taken away for cat safety.

“Ian took good care of Amadeus and was available during a busy holiday weekend which is super appreciated. However - I’m typically super hands off with sitters - I barely read the chats unless there’s an emergency, and trust that the sitter will be there on time and care for Amadeus. Unfortunately I had to have a lot of back-and-forth with Ian due to being late because of other commitments, miscommunication over chat etc. So I had to keep checking if Amadeus was being fed on time etc., which is not a good experience when on a trip. Overall good experience and I’ll recommend Ian, but better communication and punctuality would be great.”


About: I've had the pleasure of raising my 1 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi with my partner. We also have an 8 year old kitty who gets all the loves! I have experience with all kinds of animals as I also have a 9 year old pitbull who my mom, who used to hate dogs, refuses to let me take with me. Nonetheless, I will care for your pet as if they were my own! I am currently doing Rover full time. I am free during the day and late afternoon for dog walks! I am super flexible with schedules. We have a fenced pet area in the building. Walks around the block are also very safe and I can assure that your pet will be in the best care!

“Fourth time Leanna cared for my kitty :) I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and dependable pet sitter, especially for pets with special needs. I was able to enjoy my trip to Chicago knowing my baby was in her hands ☺️🩷. My cat loves her as well.”

“Ryan is a loving pet owner. She had her own corgi mix named Webster for 16 years. Webster was high energy and prone to mischief so Ryan knows the importance daily walks are in a dogs life. She is resourceful and tailors the walking structure based on your specific dogs abilities and behavior. Ryan is very reliable and is an excellent communicator.”

Yiran Z.
“I’m happy to recommend Sharon for pet sitting on Rover. She has an incredible love for animals, especially dogs, and it's evident in the way they instantly trust and adore her. Whether it's going on long walks, playing fetch, or simply offering comforting cuddles, she treats every pet like her own. I’ve seen her care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments with patience, warmth, and responsibility. She pays attention to each pet’s unique needs and always ensures they feel safe, happy, and loved. Her home is a haven for furry friends—clean, calm, and welcoming. More than that, Sharon is someone I deeply trust—reliable, compassionate, and attentive. Growing up in a dog family, I can’t think of anyone better to leave a beloved pet with. Any dog would be lucky to spend time with her!”
