Nala had the best time with Marty too! Maria will be our number one choice in the future.”

I was a wreck when I dropped Avery off, but felt relieved after the first night. The daily updates were much appreciated and I highly recommend anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“My Near just returned from an amazing 4 day holiday at Jacqueline's house , filled with all the cuddles from her sweet son, tasty treats (with my permission) and amazing care.

Punctual, loving , excellent communication and receptive. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Will be rebooking again!!!”

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats with various energy levels and personalities for two decades. With a fenced in yard, and a beautiful shaded walking path next door. As well as plenty of breaks all day long. I mostly work from home so this keeps my pet schedule open to help! I have experience with large and small breeds from Yorkies to Huskies and Giant Schnauzers. On top of that I’m a Tortie mom that is familiar with the Tortitude. Animals make life better 🫶🏻 I work remotely most days so my animals get a lot of play time. We get cabin fever without some exercise. I’m up early, my animals always eat first thing with a small amount of training. Then an energetic play session inside, in the fenced yard, or walk on the shaded neighborhood walking path. The animals get to rest and play on the property or inside while I work or knock out house chores. Lunch comes with another play and potty break and some mental health enrichment for the second half of the day. I wrap up work and prep everyone’s dinner. One more session of play before bed and then lights out for everyone. We usually keep together in the same room unless someone has a preference that day. Talk to me about the needs of your pet and we can build a plan together. I’m not a certified trainer but I’m happy to support the goals of the family by maintaining that standard of care your pet appreciates. I’m very fortunate to have the time and space to support various needs.
“Raven was amazing with Golden! He was so happy and comfortable with her, and I could tell she genuinely took great care of him. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away. I would definitely trust Raven with Golden again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Kimberlin was great with our 2 dogs! They stayed with her and her husband for a week getting lots of attention and love. She communicated well, responded promptly to the initial request and all subsequent messages. She’s kind and clearly has a love of dogs that shows through her interactions. She is very understanding and accommodating. Our dogs were perfectly happy when we picked them up after a long week and I’m sure wouldn’t have protested to staying longer. Will definitely be using her again whenever we need help with our pups!”
“My dog, Ellie had a wonderful stay with Anthony! He provided updates, pictures and videos! I am so grateful to have found a safe and reliable person to take care of my fur baby!”
“Katherine is absolutely amazing. Our 16 year old anxiety ridden Morkie spent 3 days and nights with her and every thing was great. Katherine only takes one pet at a time and really gave Delilah special attention including having her snuggle up with her at night and take her for nice long walks.”

About: I have 12+ years experience working with animals with special needs and behavioral issues. I grew up caring for pets of all types. In high school I was the go to neighborhood dog sitter and I was an intern with a local dog trainer for a year. I currently have three dogs and I help to care for my sister’s cats and dog while she’s at work. If you are looking for compassionate, safe and reliable care for your pets, look no further. I’d love to help. As of now, I am available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday anytime in the morning until 2:30pm. I am available anytime Saturday and Sunday. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. During walks and drop-in visits, I provide loving, attentive care while following your pet’s routine and any special instructions. I ensure dogs get safe, enjoyable walks with plenty of exercise and fresh water, and I make sure cats receive companionship, playtime, and care in a calm environment. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring hands.
About: My experience with animals goes far beyond pet sitting. I began volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation center at age 10 and continued through age 16, which sparked my lifelong passion for animal care. I went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and a Master’s degree in Wildlife Conservation and Ecology. I’ve also worked in multiple veterinary clinics as a surgical assistant and spent a year working in animal control. These experiences have given me hands-on experience handling animals, recognizing changes in behavior, following care instructions, and staying calm in unexpected situations. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines. Whether your dog needs an active day, extra patience, medication or special care, or simply a safe and comfortable place to relax, I’m committed to providing attentive, knowledgeable care and treating your pet like one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I genuinely enjoy. I have the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care rather than treating it as something I squeeze into a busy schedule. My days can include walks, outdoor time, play, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention, while also making sure pets have time to relax and feel comfortable. I’m intentional about keeping each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, including their feeding, exercise, and rest schedules. I also enjoy being active outdoors, so dogs who love walks and adventures will have plenty of opportunities to get their energy out! Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before their stay. My background in wildlife rehabilitation, veterinary clinics, and animal control has taught me how important it is to pay close attention to behavior and recognize when something is out of the ordinary. I’m comfortable handling animals with different personalities and energy levels and understand the importance of patience, supervision, and a calm environment. I also love keeping dogs active with walks, play, enrichment, and outdoor time when appropriate. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and care for them with the same attentiveness and respect I would want for my own. I have my own fenced in yard and a large sized kennel in my home if needed.
“Loretta watched our two kitties while we were away and we were so pleased with how well our kitties were cared for! She truly loves animals and tried to play with them despite their shyness. Her descriptions at each visit were thoroughly outlined as if you were there with your pets. We will definitely be using her in the future for when we need a pet sitter. I would highly recommend her services!”
“Allyson is great. I had to change our booking several times recently and she was always flexible, accommodating, and responsive. She always takes great care of Posey and I completely trust her. Highly recommend.”
About: Growing up, my family had a menagerie of pets. In addition to cats and dogs, we had everything from rabbits, chickens, horses, birds, both salt water and fresh water fish. Today, I keep a few species of reptiles and occasionally help my grandma with our two family horses. Looking forward to getting in my cat/dog time in with your pet! I'm widely available mon-fri during the days when most people are at work. While I'm less available on weekends, I am occasionally available on Saturdays. I like to meet animals where they're at and work from there. Whether that means going slow on walks or going to the park to run, is up to the dog. For cats, everything is on their terms also, it just looks different.
About: Hi! We’re Haruka & Dan, a dog-loving couple with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. For the past 3 years, we’ve been fostering with Rocket Dog Rescue, welcoming everything from tiny puppies just a few weeks old to large adult dogs into our home. We also regularly care for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, from playful puppies to sweet senior pups. One of us is usually home throughout the day, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship. We also have two large, friendly dogs who love meeting and playing with other dogs. We understand that every dog is unique, and we’ll do our best to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. We look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I sometimes work weekday afternoons, but my husband works from home, so either one of us are home. We block the dates that neither one of us are home. We are confident to take care of any dogs as foster parents. I know some of your dogs are reactive or skittish, but we’ve worked with them before so we’re prepared. Also we have 2 Great Pyrenees, they can play with your dog!
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve had all kinds of animals growing up. My grandmother even had a drop in home visit pet business for almost 10 years. And I would help a lot of the times. I currently have one cat with me. My other cat was a bit old to travel, so sadly I had to leave her in Oregon. I look forward to meeting future clients!
About: I’ve always loved cats and my girl and I have been been together through thick and thin for 5 years now. My goal is to learn how to actually train her to do some tricks. I have a lot to learn myself, but my priority is always safety and fun
“This was our first time using the Rover pet sitter service so we were a bit anxious but Yuri put our worries at ease. She kept us updated by sending us photos on a regular basis and you can simply tell that she was attentive, caring and affectionate to our cat, Grae. The kids simply could not wait for the latest pics to come in. Yuri is the absolute best and would highly recommend her as a cat sitter for that peace of mind on your next trip! I definitely would not hesitate to book with her in the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 18 years and understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m experienced with feeding, litter box care, playtime, check-ins, and giving cats the space or attention they need. I’m patient, dependable, and always treat every cat like they’re part of my own family.

About: From an early age, I lived with cats. Some people aren't "cat people"; I'm the opposite. Whether the shy type or the snuggle muffin, I adore cats. Recently rescued two ferals who are now (6 years later) the sweetest, happiest love bugs. I'll enjoy every moment with your cats. And they'll quickly look forward to my visits. I feel bad for people who aren't cat people. They're missing out!

“Shanna and Matthew were wonderful for Idris! I was nervous about using Rover and leaving him with someone new most of the day. They reassured me he would be fine and they have a lot of experience with different dogs and puppies. Idris (my 5 month old puppy) had a great time and was well taken care of. When I picked him he was super happy. I love that they are local and have a good set up for dogs. I will definitely book with them again.”
“Giezell watched our toy poodle for a few hours and provided us with photos and videos throughout stay. We picked up our dog about 20 minutes late and she was very understanding and accommodating. We’ll definitely book Giezell again if we’re ever in the area!”
“Haruka and Daniel were AMAZING, kind and very professional. They are informed, experienced, and always ask you questions to get to know your dog to make sure they’re providing the best care possible. I got a lot of updates during my dog’s daycare with them. They have two sweet and friendly dogs and my dog Charlie loved hanging out with them. 1000% recommend”
“Andrew is the best! Brieze is always happy with tail wagging when I drop her off for daycare, and I am thrilled to know while I’m busy at work that she is getting amazing care, playtime with other dogs, and important socialization. 12/10 would recommend!”
“John is a consummate professional and dog whisperer. He was able to quickly assess our dog's temperament and provide services based on her needs. Our dog looks forward to staying with John in the future.”
About: I have been a dog mom longer than a human mom! Dogs have been part of my life for years. I am good with training, schedules, pups to seniors. I walk daily, have a huge yard, and a pool for summer day care. My 2 kids have grown up with dogs in the home and love and them just as much as I do! I work from home and set my own hours, so your pup will get plenty of love and attention! I take a walks everyday and am a frequent flyer at the park. Day care hours: Drop off between 7-8am and pick up between 4-5pm. Additional time will have an added fee. If you need different drop off/pick up times, please let me know when booking! I have a huge fenced yard for getting zoomies out and soaking up sun. Besides daily walks to the park and play, I will make sure your dog is fed, stimulated, and loved.

“Everything went really well, once for the meet & greet, and again for the stay. Elliot was very calm and comfortable when approaching Mazi and introducing his fur-babies. When I got her back from the stay, she was tired (which to me speaks to an active day, which I really appreciate after mine). Definitely would use again if he'd have me.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of love, patience, and personalized care I give every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every pup has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. I have experience caring for puppies who need extra attention, structure, potty training support, and plenty of playtime, as well as senior dogs who require a calmer environment, medication administration, slower walks, and gentle care. I’m attentive to body language, behavior, and individual needs, which helps dogs quickly build trust and feel comfortable with me. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or older and needing extra patience, I provide reliable supervision, lots of affection, consistent communication, and a clean, stress-free environment. My goal is not just to “watch” your pet it’s to give them a positive experience where they feel loved, secure, and excited to come back. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work part-time and mainly from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to maintain a flexible schedule for walks, potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and cuddle time, while also making sure each pet sticks to their normal routine as closely as possible. Since I’m home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone for long periods, which helps them feel comfortable, safe, and less anxious while their owners are away. I truly enjoy having animals around and make their care a priority in my everyday life, giving them lots of love, patience, and one on one attention. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. Since I work part-time and mainly from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Dogs staying in my home are welcome to roam freely and relax comfortably in the house rather than being confined, helping them feel more at ease and at home during their stay. I can also crate dogs if requested by the owner or if it’s part of the dog’s normal routine for sleeping, feeding, or downtime. I always prioritize safety by carefully monitoring interactions, maintaining a calm environment, and following each dog’s specific care instructions, routines, dietary needs, and comfort levels. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, stress free, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their dog is in good hands.

“Meaghan was such a great dog walker. She showed a lot of patience and care with Momo and detailed his activities and behaviors during their walks carefully. She was also always promptly on time even in the weekends and if she was ever running late, she made sure to send a text, keeping us updated. I am so glad to have found Meaghan for Momo!!”

I also enjoy being active outdoors, so dogs who love walks and adventures will have plenty of opportunities to get their energy out! Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before their stay. My background in wildlife rehabilitation, veterinary clinics, and animal control has taught me how important it is to pay close attention to behavior and recognize when something is out of the ordinary. I’m comfortable handling animals with different personalities and energy levels and understand the importance of patience, supervision, and a calm environment. I also love keeping dogs active with walks, play, enrichment, and outdoor time when appropriate. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and care for them with the same attentiveness and respect I would want for my own. I have my own fenced in yard and a large sized kennel in my home if needed.
About: I have had and taken care of pets (dogs & cats )pretty much my whole life. I take care of my neighbor’s dogs when they are away or just want me to check in on them when they are working. I have been retired for 5 years now. I would love to be able to take care of someone’s animal. Whether it be just a few walks or just checking in on them to make sure they are safe and happy. I can feed and change litter boxes, provide play time or just a check in while you are away. I know how precious our fur babies are to us as I have 2 cats of my own. I watch my neighbors dog and love her like she was mine. If you select me to take care of your fur baby I will respect you home. I would treat it as if it was my own. I am very trustworthy and meticulous.
About: I’m the person you’ll find in the corner at a party hanging out with the dog (or cat). I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, have experience pet sitting and walking, and adopted both of my pets. I also trained my dog, Pinto, myself, so I have hands-on experience with training, routines, and plenty of different dog behaviors. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I’ll always treat yours with the same care and attention I give my own. I also haven’t met a pet I couldn’t win over yet! I recently moved to the area from Washington, so my schedule is currently very flexible! I’m especially available during the week for anyone who needs someone to check in on their buddy while they’re at work. Whether it’s a midday walk, potty break, playtime, or just some company, I’m happy to make their day a little less lonely while you’re away. I’ll treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, walks, or just keeping them company. I’ll always make sure your pet is safe and comfortable and your home is left just as I found it. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you know how your buddy is doing!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who recently moved to the area after spending the last 24 years in Washington state. With all the kids off to college, I’m now enjoying being a stay-at-home dog and cat mom and would love to use my extra time to help other pet parents feel confident that their animals are happy, loved, and cared for while they’re away. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and I grew up on a farm surrounded by a variety of animals. Caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. After years of working in a busy career, I especially appreciate having the time to slow down and enjoy the companionship of animals. I’d love to help dogs get some exercise, attention, and affection during the day so they aren’t stuck at home alone for hours while their families are at work. In the past we used this service to make sure our pets were well cared for while we were at work. It was so valuable for not only to our animals, but to us Whether your dog needs a midday walk, some playtime and companionship, or you need someone dependable to check in on your pets, I’m happy to help. My background in healthcare has also taught me to be responsible, attentive to details, and comfortable handling unexpected situations. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’d be happy to meet you and your pets beforehand so we can make sure we’re a great fit! Your pets may be your babies, but I’ll treat them like they’re mine. 🐾❤️ I am currently staying home and staying active with my standard poodle, Eevee and my cat, Moo. I have worked in surgery for close to 30 years and now that I’m home full time, I want to fill my time with things I love and make me happy. I have a fully fenced backyard with a swimming pool. I do have one standard poodle, who is super friendly and obsessed. I do have one cat who is a rescue from a hoarding situation and loves to play with dogs.We have a large home with all kids off to college. Animals sleep with us.

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats with various energy levels and personalities for two decades. With a fenced in yard, and a beautiful shaded walking path next door. As well as plenty of breaks all day long. I mostly work from home so this keeps my pet schedule open to help! I have experience with large and small breeds from Yorkies to Huskies and Giant Schnauzers. On top of that I’m a Tortie mom that is familiar with the Tortitude. Animals make life better 🫶🏻 I work remotely most days so my animals get a lot of play time. We get cabin fever without some exercise. I’m up early, my animals always eat first thing with a small amount of training. Then an energetic play session inside, in the fenced yard, or walk on the shaded neighborhood walking path. The animals get to rest and play on the property or inside while I work or knock out house chores. Lunch comes with another play and potty break and some mental health enrichment for the second half of the day. I wrap up work and prep everyone’s dinner. One more session of play before bed and then lights out for everyone. We usually keep together in the same room unless someone has a preference that day. Talk to me about the needs of your pet and we can build a plan together. I’m not a certified trainer but I’m happy to support the goals of the family by maintaining that standard of care your pet appreciates. I’m very fortunate to have the time and space to support various needs.
“Adrienne is the HEAVEN sent DOG WHISPERER! She watched my Corgi Teddy for a last minute “Girl’s Weekend”. She was quick to reply to my request and very accommodating. She updated me frequently with pictures and videos of my Teddy living his “Best Dog Vacay”..;) She deserves more than 5 STARS!! Highly recommend and she is our sitter for ALL future needs/vacations in the future. Thank You Adrienne #Happy/GratefulDogMoM?”
“Raven was amazing with Golden! He was so happy and comfortable with her, and I could tell she genuinely took great care of him. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away. I would definitely trust Raven with Golden again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Kimberlin was great with our 2 dogs! They stayed with her and her husband for a week getting lots of attention and love. She communicated well, responded promptly to the initial request and all subsequent messages. She’s kind and clearly has a love of dogs that shows through her interactions. She is very understanding and accommodating. Our dogs were perfectly happy when we picked them up after a long week and I’m sure wouldn’t have protested to staying longer. Will definitely be using her again whenever we need help with our pups!”
“My dog, Ellie had a wonderful stay with Anthony! He provided updates, pictures and videos! I am so grateful to have found a safe and reliable person to take care of my fur baby!”
“Marya was great. Communicated since day one. I can tell our 11 month old Frenchie “Buster” had a great time at her house. She sent pictures to us throughout the day showing us how he was playing with other dogs that they had there. Buster was exhausted by the time we picked him up. Would highly recommend Marya with your dog/s. Will be taking him back next time we need a sitter.”
“Our vacation is over & we had a wonderful time without having to worry about our American bulldog Lucy!! We knew when we left her with Peter that she was in excellent hands. She had other doggy playmates & had a wondeful time playing with them & Peter assured us when we picked her up that they enjoyed her very much & that all went well! I cannot tell you how much it meant to us to be able to leave Lucy in such good hands with people who obviously love animals and treat them so lovingly! We will definitely be using DogVacay in the future & Peter will be our first choice! Thank you again Peter for an excellent job well done!! P&M”
“Achara was Phenomenal. I cannot express the amount of gratitude and relief I feel boarding my dog with her. I received constant updates and pictures while I was out of town and tips since her dog is the same breed. She socialized my dog and I cannot tell you the amount of peace I felt knowing he was in great hands. I would HIGHLY recommend Achara and she really does go above and beyond!”
“Luis and Vivian are very friendly and caring. They were easy to communicate with and helpful in accommodating our schedule. Our dog was very happy to stay with them, and we'll be sure to reach out again if we need a petsitter in the future!”
