1. Matt T.



“Matt is great sitter! I was so nervous dropping Sammy off because it was the first time I let someone else watch him. My fears were gone when I saw how happy Sammy was. The next time I dropped Sammy off at Matt’s, Sammy was pulling on his leash trying to run up to Matt’s house. Sammy was so excited about the fun he was going to have. Matt does a great job running Sammy and taking him on walks. As a corgi, Sammy has a ton of energy so I’m glad Matt was able to accommodate that. Would recommend using Matt 100%.”

About: Do you have a large or reactive dog? Finding trustworthy sitters or boarding can be difficult. Well, i can help. I regularly volunteer at local shelters and specialized in large dogs and behavior cases. (Ask me about Baloo, love sharing his story). As a dog dad myself i will provide great love and care as if your furbabies were my own. I work from home remotely. Typically we do a morning walk before i start work, short walk during my lunch break, then a good long walk when i am finished working. While i am working unlimited potty breaks in the yard as requested. I have a 6 foot privacy fenced in yard. I live about .5 miles away from a park with a dog park. Any medications can be given as requested. For aggressive dogs we obviously do not go in the dog park, but i can walk around the exterior to assist with training.


3. Alyssa S.

“Alyssa was such a great pet sitter to my little dog Ella! She first of all was able to help me on such short notice and that was super appreciated. She sent me some pictures and let me know how my dog was doing for the couple of hours she was with her. Thanks so much for taking such good care of my fur baby!”


4. Mollie S.

“My pup Jack had a great stay with Mollie and her family. I needed help with a long day and they were there for me. He came home tired and calm, ready to sleep!”


5. Iris H.
“Iris is an animal lover because she’s always volunteering at the animal shelter so I did not hesitate to have her care for my dog when I left for vacation! My dog was very happy with Iris and I had updates each day how my dog Petra was doing. I also liked that Iris had a yard so my dog can enjoy the outdoors instead of being confined inside a small apartment. She made sure to pick up after her and give lots of walks and love! I am so happy I found Iris !”


6. Jessica K.

“Jessica is amazing. She’s Waylon’s new sitter and she was so sweet with him. I was nervous about leaving him with someone because he has some anxiety but she sent me a bunch of pictures and videos and he was doing so well”


7. Paul G.
“Paul accepted my last minute booking request. I had to adjust my drop off/pick up times & he was flexible with that. My dog Eddie can have a bit of anxiety when he isn't with his family. When he was picked up he was very relaxed & happy; so I know he was well taken care of. I will definitely use Paul again.”


8. Kelly S.

“I appreciated that Kelly was able to accommodate a last minute request to watch Phil. I received updates throughout the day and he went for 3 walks with her. I’m very happy overall with care and services and would recommend to other dog owners. Kelly’s home was clean and well cared for.”

Jeannine is a wonderful example of the kind of sitter you’d want to watch your fur baby! I love all the photos and videos and her quick responses! And a super bonus is she is an expert with German Shepherds! Truly a gem in Tacoma!!!! I highly recommend her services!!!”

19. Tamaria L.

“This was my first time traveling with my puppy out of state, I came to Seattle from San Fran with my Puppy Siberian Husky! I’ve gotta be honest, I didn’t have a plan for a sitter before I got here but when my brother told me about this app, I was skeptical. I came here for work training & would be gone from 8-5pm 5 days straight so I knew I’d need this service but wasn’t sure about how to trust someone with my daughter. Late at night after I arrived to Seattle, I submitted for a few sitters. Tamaria responded so quickly to my request & made me extremely comfortable right off the bat!! She has an amazing energy, personality, & family! I didn’t rent a vehicle so I asked her if she could pick up an drop My puppy off an that was no problem!! She was on time every day & brought my puppy home to my hotel to me in amazing condition just the way I wanted her to be. She came home tired because she was playing all day, came home full, she was exhausted from so much fun! I received texted videos an photos through out the entire process. I honestly will be making sure to only book her for when I come back to Seattle. I’d highly recommend Tamaria in any way to be a care taker for anyone’s animals. It wasn’t expensive, it wasn’t annoying , I was even running late on my last day an she met me at the airport just in time so I can make my flight! I don’t know how I could get a better experience to be honest! Thanks so much Tamaria to you & your amazing family! -Collin”


20. Kate K.


“So thankful that Kate was able to get my doggy in such short notice. Charlie looked so relaxed and at ease. He deals with anxiety but he did great with Kate. I appreciated the photos throughout his stay & video. It put me at ease to know he was in such good caring hands. Thank you Kate!”
