“Wow!! We have been using Rover for 10 years and Megan is our first "perfect" sitter. She is super communicative, sends pictures with excellent little daily write ups that arent too short or too invasively long/frequent, and followed our instructions to a T. My neighbor even remarked that my dog seemed happy and content when she spotted them walking the lake together. I came home to a perfectly clean house - Megan had even washed and remade the guest bed and laid out her clean towels! The house also smelled heavenly with the dinner she had made before I arrived home; she must be a great cook. Even my plants had all thrived and seemed to be very happy and growing. If the plants are happy too, you know that you found a gem! ;) Not once did Megan call or text me with an emergency or needing help with small little idiosyncrasies when staying in a new home. She was incredibly self sufficient, reliable, and respectful of my home - but also great about communicating her needs upfront during our consultation, or asking permission via text while I was away. Truly a perfect sitter. I highly recommend you book with her.”
“Ryenne was excellent! She took wonderful care of our dog,Beau, and our home. Great communication and attention to detail. We will definitely ask her to stay with Beau in the future.”
“Lisa is amazing and such a pleasure to trust to our home and with our fur babies! She communicates and sends pictures and left our home immaculate! Thanks Lisa!!”
“Mollie was so great to have in our home to watch our two pups! She communicated daily with us, sent adorable photos and our dogs seemed happy when we got home. She also left our house as clean as before we left and even washed her bedding and re-made the guest bed! Thank you Mollie!”
“Michael was amazing with our animals and can tell he genuinely cares about their wellbeing. He was great at checking in and sending photos. Would love to have him watch our boys again”
“Katie did an excellent job with my pups! She is so great with animals, sent frequent update pics. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing how well they were being looked after and being able to see how comfortable they were. Thank-you so much for looking after them and thank-you for your patience with my little guys.”
“Destiny was very attentive to Luna’s needs and kept her company while I was gone. I received plenty of photos and updates which made me feel at ease. I would absolutely book with Destiny again!”
“Brooklyn was amazing, very communicative, very punctual, attentive, and professional. I would definitely book Brooklyn any time I need someone to watch out dogs. Great experience.”
“I booked Jaden for a last minuet weekend house sitting. Her and her boyfriend are a super cute couple and I felt instantly safe letting stay in my house and watching my babies. There were no issues and I would definitely book them again!”
“Minh was great! She took amazing care of my dog, was very responsive and sent me fun pictures and updates while I was away. I came home to a very happy boy so I couldn’t be happier!”
“Holly watched our pup and our home for an extended house sitting stay. She was very respectful and kept the home tidy as well as kept our dog company. We’ve used Holly for several months and will continue to do so in the future! Thanks again Holly!”
“Andrea was hands down the BEST dog sitter we’ve had! She showed up right on time, was super friendly, sent a ton of pictures, and was just overall amazing. Will definitely be using her again and would absolutely recommend her to everyone!! ☺️”
“This past weekend, Kelsie house sat for us and our full house of 4 furry pets (2 dogs and 2 cats). She was highly communicative, friendly, responsive, and all of our pets loved her! She really seemed to enjoy interacting with our pets as well. I'd highly recommend her to anyone and hope that she will be available for future house sitting trips!”
“I can't express how thankful I am for Adam, this was the third or fourth time Adam has watched our fur-babies and it won't be the last. Despite falling ill during our time away, Adam continued to provide exceptional care or our fur kids. Adam's dedication through the challenging circumstances he was facing speaks volumes about his commitment to the well-being of our dogs. We are so lucky to have found Adam who is so reliable and such a caring person!! Thanks again Adam for going way above and beyond to take care of our pups despite how ill you were feeling!! Hope you feel better very soon!!”
“Chloe was super sweet with our babies when we were abroad, keeping them well accompanied, fed, and cared for. Sent photos and updates upon request and left house as she found it. Would book again!”
“Yvette was a wonderful pet sitter! She stayed with our young Golden Retriever named Rosie for two nights at our place in University Place. Yvette took the time to have a video call and come over to meet Rosie before our weekend away. Right away, it was apparent that Yvette loved dogs and Rosie adored her. Yvette was consistently responsive, provided photos and updates, and easy to trust as house/petsitter. We'll book her again, for sure!”

I highly recommend Alexandria for all your pet sitting needs. She was absolutely amazing and made our trip stress free for many reasons. Upon meeting our dogs for the first time you could tell she was an animal person, completely comfortable getting on their level and letting them sniff it out for a bit. One of our dogs is very nervous around new people but he was even warmed up to her wagging his tail by the end of her visit. Things felt really good to move forward. She arrived promptly every time we had scheduled and had great communication from the start. The updates we got were warm, caring and fun! She included pictures and was great about any special requests we made. She made a point to keep our house very clean and even washed the sheets before leaving. We found our house exactly how we left it and some very happy dogs upon returning. Truly a game changer to have someone like her to be part of our team with travel planning. We are so grateful she was available for us.
Michael did such an amazing job caring for our dog Millie and our home for 9 days. He was communicative and sent daily pictures. It was clear from meeting him that he puts great care and intention into his pet sitting jobs. He also left the house super clean. We will definitely have Michael back for any future needs!
Megan is great! She is reliable, communicative and great with our dogs, who are spoiled babies with their own set of quirks. She has been helping us with dog walking for the past few months and we recently used her for an overnight stay. I was a little nervous because my dogs are kind of pushy little divas, but everything went great and they were very well taken care of. Thanks again Megan!
Adam provided in house sitting for our dog and cat for 5 nights. He gave our dog a lot of outside time and tons of stimulation overall, with plenty of photo proof! We love getting to see photos of our pets when we are gone. Our house was left in as good of shape and cleanliness as we left it, which is great. His communication was great. He was easy to trust and we will absolutely book him again.
Andrea was absolutely wonderful as our cat sitter! From the moment we connected, she was communicative, professional, and clearly cared deeply about animals. She took the time to understand our cat’s routine and personality, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We especially appreciated the regular updates and photos—Andrea really went above and beyond to keep us in the loop and make sure our cat was happy and comfortable. It was clear our cat was not only well cared for, but also getting plenty of attention and affection. We came home to a relaxed, happy cat and everything in great shape. We would absolutely book Andrea again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter!
Elizabeth was amazing with Mila! She was so kind and understanding, helping me with training, giving tips on how to help Mila be polite, sit, lay down, and not bite. She walked Mila and was super flexible with the schedule, always willing to adjust to accommodate both my needs and Mila’s. When I needed her most, she pulled through. Truly the best pup sitter ever!
