Maria is especially good at coaxing our dog out on walks when the pup doesn't want to go. We also appreciate that she submits Rover cards for each visit and leaves the house exactly as she found it. We feel so much better about being at work all day knowing Maria is spending time with our dog.

About: I have been caring for dogs since I can remember because I’ve always had dogs of my own. Currently I have 4 dogs that I help take care of daily. I have experience taking care of at minimum two dogs as far as the Seattle area for so far max of two weeks. I have also taken care of chickens at the same time so I am prepared in whatever may need to be done. I have no job and am available whenever as far north as Seattle if needed. I am available essentially 24/7 starting June 22nd, until august 16th. I have four dogs and therefore caring for a pet in my own home could prove difficult. However, I am comfortable staying in your house if needed or preferred. I always ask for specific instructions from the owner concerning whatever I need to be informed on because I am aware everyone treats their pet differently.

My dog, Declan is so much happier when I come home now that he gets a walk while I'm gone. Kenzie is so good with him and he is always so excited when Kenzie comes in. Kenzie sends regular updates and pictures of how my pup is doing and is very responsive. Highly recommend Kenzie if you need a wonderful dog walker!

She was awesome! She was absolutely fantastic with Kai. She took pictures of him on every walk. He was very excited to see her every time. We had to change the schedule for walking at the last minute but she was very accommodating. She was also excellent at communicating, responding promptly to my messages. I will definitely book her again!

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I've helped rescue nine cats and raised seven from kittens to adulthood, which has given me extensive experience with feline care and behavior. I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and building a bond with them through play, attention, and consistent care. In addition to cats, I regularly help care for my family's dog through walks, playtime, and daily care. I also have experience raising and caring for ducks, which has taught me the importance of providing consistent care, maintaining routines, and paying attention to each animal's needs. While cats are where most of my experience lies, I'm excited to work with dogs and other animals as well. I'm reliable, attentive to detailed care instructions, and dedicated to making sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, exercise, or specialized care, I'll treat them with the same patience and attention I give my own animals. I'm currently on summer break from college, so I'll have almost unlimited free time to play and care for your pets! I also don't mind weird hours, day or night. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any other care requirements provided by the owner. I like to be extra attentive and keep a close eye on pets because their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while you're away, helping them feel happy and secure in their familiar environment.

About: I enjoy caring for all kinds of pups—from playful and energetic to older dogs who need a little extra patience. I have experience with senior care and IVDD, so I understand the importance of gentle movement, consistency, and comfort. I’ll always tailor my care to what makes your pet feel safest and happiest. As an online college student, I have a flexible, home-based schedule, so pet care easily fits into my day. I’m able to give pets lots of attention, regular potty breaks, and consistent care throughout the day. like to tailor each visit to the dog. Some dogs want lots of play and activity, while others prefer a slower pace and extra cuddles. I follow their routine and adjust my care to what makes them feel the most comfortable and happy.

Kacie was a true treasure, she was always been on time, totally reliable. Being a medical traveler with random shifts it isn’t easy to find someone that is willing to do different hours and days. The dogs love her and I will continue using her services as long as I am in this area.

About: As an experienced dog sitter, I go beyond basic care by truly understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have a natural ability to read their body language and adapt to their moods, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medications, following specific dietary plans, or providing enriching playtime and walks, I tailor my approach to each dog’s routine. My calm and attentive demeanor helps even the most anxious dogs feel at ease, and I maintain clear communication with pet owners for peace of mind. Having cared for my own senior Pomeranian, Zeus, until he was 14, I am particularly attuned to the special needs of older dogs, including administering medications and adjusting routines for their comfort. I currently have an year and a half year old Yellow Labrador Retriever named cooper, so well experienced with puppies I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or just extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to be there consistently. I love getting outside for walks and making sure dogs stay mentally and physically happy while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, energy levels, and temperaments, including senior dogs and puppies. I always keep a close eye during walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment.

About: I’m here to serve you and your beloved pets with reliable care, giving you true peace of mind while you’re away! I do more than just feed and potty break — I make sure your pets receive quality social time and personalized care. I have experience caring for many types of dogs and cats, including elderly, anxious, and those with special-needs or requiring medication. I also completed certification through Mud Bay (pet food company), having been trained in dog and cat behavior, nutrition, and pet wellness. My goal is to provide dependable service you can trust and a calm, loving experience for your pets while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I am petsitting full time now! I understand the stress of having to leave your pets behind when traveling, so I do my best to follow requests around times and routines. There are times where I am caring for more than one pet client, but I will communicate that with you before booking if it applies. I generally do not take clients that require potty breaks/visits less than 4 hours apart, though often I am in the home full time. I typically watch animals in the owners home. I am happy to walk, exercise, and play as needed or requested. Often stay overnight, and follow the directions left by owners.

About: I love animals and I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. I understand the importance of them being well taken care of. I started pet sitting for coworkers and realized I could help others in my area looking for a caring, trustworthy pet sitter. I’ll send you updates, pictures and make sure you find them and your home better than when you left. I have my weekends free to play and care for your pets all day. Monday through Friday I’m at work but I’m only 15 minutes away and have plenty of time to come home during lunch. We’d go on an early morning walk and I’m back home by 4 to take care of your fur babies. If I’m at your house, I’ll make sure to follow your pets schedule. Clean up after them, so you come home to a clean house. Overall, make sure they are comfortable while they are missing. I live in a two bedroom apartment with plenty of space for pets to play. There is path behind my complex, so we can go on long walks and they can get plenty of time move. Pets are allowed on furniture. I don’t like to leave them locked up while I’m gone. I keep my house very clean, I don’t mind cleaning up after them. I love to give lots of pets and play and cuddle time.

Sophie is such a natural --at caring for dogs as well as people. When I had a sudden death in my family, she stepped up to cover every day I needed, with kind words, extra help and collaboration when we required it. She is now close friends with my poodle, and a warm, reliable friend to me. My dog learns everyday from Sophia!
