“Kenny was great with my dog. Their energy was so calm and kind. Our pup is rambunctious and Kenny handled the situation expertly and I will definitely book with them again!”


“Sara was awesome (again). Went above and beyond when I realized I booked incorrectly by forgetting the last day, and she was able to keep Kodiak an extra night. Will be booking again.”


“Christina did a great job of giving us regular updates. Our dog got some serious play time over the weekend with the other pups and is now nice and tired. We are able to enjoy our trip with a piece of mind that he was well taken care of.”


“I really appreciate Hang's flexibility when I needed to move some times around. She was friendly and communicative. The pictures and videos she sent showed my pup having a great little vacation. Thanks Hang!!”


“It was my first time using Rover, and I could tell my dog enjoyed staying with Chuk. She sent daily updates and was responsive to all my questions. I had to drop my dog off early in the morning and pick her up late at night, which can be challenging, but she was incredibly flexible with the timing. Thank you so much!”


“Tamar is the best! Rufus is always excited when we pull up in front of her house for a stay. He gets lots of exercise and loving when he's there. When he comes home after a stay, he's always exhausted and I know he's had a great doggy vacation. I always recommend her to other dog owners.”


“My puppy loved staying with Natalie, it was very last minute booking, she was quick at responding and communicating so I felt at ease. She sent photos of them having fun and visiting the beach. In a way, it was a vacation for my pup, he got spoiled 😉. I would definitely ask her again, and recommend to family and friends”



“Marina and Richard have taken such great care of Uma on two separate overnight occasions. I love getting frequent pictures and updates, and I never worry about her care when I am traveling. Can’t recommend them enough!”


“Had an excellent experience having my dog Bella stay with Beth. Beth clearly communicated expectations and provided regular updates. I felt secure in knowing Bella was receiving proper care and attention.”


“We have left Chico with Maria and Kalyan multiple times now. We always leave feeling so content and carefree that he will have the best adventure with them! They are extremely caring pet pawrents and just stellar people in general .”



“Daria did a great job with our two dogs! She sent a ton of pictures and made sure both dogs were comfortable and happy! We will definitely be using her again!”


About: Hi! I’m Alex — lifelong animal lover, with over 10 years of experience in the pet care industry full-time pet caregiver, and the proud human behind a cozy dog-friendly home in Seattle. I’m here to give your dog a safe, fun, and relaxing place to stay while you’re away, with plenty of one-on-one attention and thoughtful care. Dogs in my home have full access to both indoor and outdoor spaces, including a fully fenced ⅓ acre yard where they can sniff, explore, and play freely. They’re welcome on couches and beds (because let’s be honest — they deserve it), and I provide comfy elevated beds or crates upon request for naps and downtime. Your pup’s comfort is always a priority. I host up to 5 dogs at a time to ensure each one receives quality care and attention. I accept small to large breeds (depending on temperament and compatibility), as well as puppies and senior dogs. I’m also experienced with shy, anxious pups — they’ll find a calm and understanding environment here. Each day includes: • 3+ hours of active play (fetch, running, one-on-one games) • Scent work & enrichment to keep minds sharp • Mental stimulation & puzzle games • Walks and river access during low tide (with owner’s permission!) • Rest time, soft beds, and even homemade snacks for extra love • Optional training support if your pup is working on skills • Optional basic training support or structured sessions upon request I’m home 24/7 — your dog is never left alone — and I provide 2–3 daily updates with photos and videos. You’re also welcome to message or call anytime; I want you to feel completely at ease while your pup is with me. My home is full of love, calm energy, and outdoor fun. Dogs aren’t just visitors here — they’re part of the family. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐶 Daily Schedule 5:00 AM – 10:00 AM 🚪 Drop-Off Window 🌿 Potty break + free play in the yard 👋 Welcome sniff session for early arrivals 🥣 Light breakfast/snack (if needed or provided by owner) 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM 🎾 Active Play & Social Time – Fetch, chase, tug-of-war, running games – Supervised group play & ball time 💦 Water & rest breaks between bursts of play 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM 🧠 Mental Stimulation & Enrichment – Scent games, puzzle toys, basic training (if requested) – Quiet one-on-one time for cuddles or brushing 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM 😴 Rest & Nap Time – Indoor relaxation with soft music – Access to elevated beds or cozy crates (if preferred) 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM 🌳 Walk or River Playtime (weather & tide permitting) – Short neighborhood walk – Optional supervised swimming (with owner approval) 🍪 Homemade snack time after play 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM 🐾 Gentle Play & Wind-Down Time – Soft toys, slow games, low-energy engagement 📸 Photo update sent to pet parents 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM 🚪 Pick-Up Window – Calm goodbyes, water refills, light clean-up 📦 Send home any toys, beds, or leftover food 📝 Final update to owner (if not sent earlier) In my home, pets receive thoughtful, personalized care in a safe and relaxed environment. I only take a small number of dogs at a time so each one gets the individual attention they need. My home has a calm, cozy energy with free access to a large, fully fenced ⅓-acre yard where dogs can explore, play, and relax throughout the day. Each pup enjoys a balance of structured and free playtime, including enrichment activities like scent work, basic training (if requested), fetch, and mental stimulation games. I also offer homemade treats, quiet rest periods with comfy elevated beds, and optional swimming during low tide (within my property, with owner approval). Dogs are welcome to bring their own beds, toys, or anything that makes them feel at home. I’m home 24/7, so pets are never left alone, and I provide 2–3 daily updates with photos and messages. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, or any special care instructions. If I’m caring for a pet in the client’s home, I aim to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I respect their space completely and make sure their pet feels safe, seen, and cared for. Each visit includes fresh food and water, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, light cleaning (if needed), and lots of affection. I’m also happy to water plants, bring in mail, or help with other small tasks while you’re away. No matter where I care for your pet, my goal is always the same: to provide loving, reliable, and attentive care so both you and your pet feel completely at ease.

“Alexis was an amazing communicator! She was very flexible when it came to planning our meet and great and drop off/pick up times while also sending regular updates throughout my dogs stay. My dog fit right in with her own and it was really reassuring to know my dog felt comfortable while I was gone for an entire week. Thank you so much Alexis!”


“Maria is a superb sitter! She took excellent care of my little Tanner. She adheres to a daily routine including feeding and walking, is super responsive with communication, and has a safe home. I felt very much at ease that Tanner was in good hands, was safe, had fun, and was well cared for. You can tell she loves what she does!”


“Quang and his fiancé were great with our boy. You can tell they are very attentive and I loved that they constantly shared many photos and videos of our dog throughout our time away. They are extremely flexible are very accommodating. I will definitely trust them to care for our dog again.”


“Taro had a good time staying at Todd’s place. She seemed comfortable there, and got along with their dog Maizy no problem. Also Taro got medicine once a day for her allergies, so that’s very helpful. We got updates/pictures several times a day.”


“David & Betty did a wonderful job with Milo. This was Milo’s first time with a sitter and they made me feel at ease the whole time knowing Milo was in great hands. I got frequent updates throughout his stay and I could tell he was very happy at his mini vacation!”
