“Hugh watched my little lotus for two nights and made me feel completely at ease about leaving him for the first time. Very thankful for Hughs love of dogs and opening his home. I will definitely be bringing Lotus back!”
About: When our sweet dog of 14 years passed away Nov 2017 I started volunteering as a dog walker at Homeward Pet in Woodinville where I received rigorous dog walking training. While working there I enjoyed the interaction with many different types and temperaments of dogs. A true blessing being able to give them love, protection, reassurance and fun when they most needed it. I've always loved animals my entire life and would very much enjoy taking care of your precious baby. Looking forward to seeing your dogs smiling face I'm retired and have extra time to spend having fun with new pets and helping neighbors with thier babies. Plus I live right here in Harbor Hills. Visiting your fur baby in your home, using all leashes, harnesses and collers provided by family. All babies will need to be secured in golf cart.
“First time I had to leave my pup who has separation anxiety for more than a day or two. Was super nervous about it but it seemed like he had a great time! Was sent lots of updates and photos. Will definitely be bringing him here in the future if I need to!”
“Alia was wonderful with our kitten for the 2 days we were away on a quick family getaway and was very responsive when I checked in! She even sent us pictures to ebsure he was comfortable. My family felt that our kitten was in great hands with Alia and I will definitely come back to her again if I need a sitter in the future 😊”
“Katherine was amazing! She took excellent care of our Yellow Lab. She sent lots of pictures with cute captions and we could tell our dog was happy and comfortable. We will definitely use her services again and we’ve already told our friends about her. You will be so happy to see all the love that she pours on to your dog. We took Nala on Wednesday night and picked her up Sunday. We texted Kathy minutes before we picked up Nala, and she was gracious and brought Nala to the car.🥰”
“This is the second vacation that we’ve left Benji with Debbie and she is the BEST! Her home is perfectly setup for doggies and her little guy Teddy is the greatest playmate!! I will absolutely continue to book Debbie as often as possible!”
“What a terrific person Rebecca is! She's very easy to talk with, understands my pups needs and quirks, and...she sent me pictures of my boy every day! This was my first time using Rebecca. I went on a cruise, so you could imagine that I'd be a bit nervous. But Rebecca put me at ease on day one and every day going forward! I didn't worry at all!! He got lots of attention and love! Great job Rebecca! And your wonderful family, too!”
“Felt like my dog was well taking care of. From our conversation prior to departing I felt comfortable leaving Kane with you. The pictures shows that he was comfortable in his surroundings which made it easier for me and my spouse to handle what we went to do. I recommending you to all my friends and co-workers .”
“This is our third stay with Melissa and we could not be happier. Our dogs are clearly getting more comfortable and it was much easier to leave them as they now recognize Melissa and her husband as people they trust. Thank you so much for that as we love to travel but hate leaving our pups.”

“Joanna was very flexible and patient with the schedule. I could tell she cared about my cats. I appreciate her being able to take care of my cats last minute. I will be definitely using her again.”
“Sabrina was beyond phenomenal! From the first meet and greet, we immediately felt confident that she would be responsible to watch our home and our cat. She was timely, organized and clean, communicative, and sent us the cutest photo updates. She is also very detail oriented and shared a few updates on our cat to ensure we were aware of a few habits that could be indicative of a developing ear infection. We cannot wait to hire Sabrina again in the future!”
“I am so happy with the care Berkley gave to my two kitties while I was away. I had never been away that long and was very nervous about leaving my babies, but Berkley made sure to ease my worries. She took such great care of them and sent me so many pictures and updates every visit. I highly recommend her if you have to leave your babies, she takes care of them like they are her own.”
“Lori was amazing with our cat Nala! Nala warmed right up to Lori and played with her. I was so happy that we could go away knowing our cat was well cared for in a loving way. Thank you Lori!”
“Teri is not only reliable, she go the extra mile to ensure your pet is safe, happy, content, rightly cared for. I promptly received a photo every morning, an update on his demeanor, an apology when a hairball was discovered on a white carpet, plus a sincere attempt in it's removal. My lil' boy was even gifted a new toy! How thoughtful and generous. I strongly recommend Teri for all you kitty owners, she's a godsend.”
“Melissa was great with Willow and it only took one day for Willow to warm up with, which says alor, considering Willow tends to hide when new people come around. I hope to use Melissa again, when I need to travel.”
“Thank God for Melissa… She took excellent care of my Kitties even though they are scared of strangers. I was out of the country during the cold snap and she walked into a very cold house, but got my thermostat working so it stayed at 70°… not in the 40”s she walked into and let me know what was going on every day she came. Everything was clean and taken care of. I will definitely call her again when I am traveling.”
“Jessica was great! This was the 1st real vacation that we've taken in 10 yrs all because we couldn't leave our 3 kitties boarded. We agreed to try Rover & after meeting Jessica, we knew we were doing the right thing! Our kitties are spoiled... no doubt about it... and it was going to take a special person to be patient & loving enough for this task! Enter Jessica! We had the best person for the job! I see other vacays in our future! Thank you Jessica (& Rover).”
“This is the third time Carol Ann lived up on Blossom! She’s amazing and goes above and beyond as if it was her own fur baby. Blossom takes time to warm up with folks. Third time was the charm. We were delighted to get multiple photos and updates daily. Blossom loves and trusts her. It made our heart warm to know she was being so loved. She is a lovely and compassionate person and feel lucky to know her. I highly recommend her sitting or staying with your pet. To travel and know your fur baby is so well taken care of and loved is truly amazing. Thanks C! 💕”
About: I love dogs. Friends call me the whisperer. I lost my Princess 2 years ago to cancer and I find that this is the best medicine for me. I love to travel so having another baby right now is not in the cards. Taking care of your baby is the next best thing. I have had people fly me out to Portland, California, and New York to pet sit for them. I absolutley love it. Some of the dogs I have cared for were sick or new family members. I love to take them on new adventures but only if Mom and Dad are okay with it. I also love to train, play, and hug on them. My only job is taking care of your dog, so I am with them the entire day and night. Sometimes they will go on a golf cart ride with me. My yard is not fenced in so your dog would be walked regularly. There are plenty of grassy areas next to and accross the street from me. If there is a schedule you have for the dog that is what will be followed.
“Leaving your furry family members for an extended period of time is never easy. Hailey helped to make the situation as good as it could have been. She was conscientious of our needs and very respectful of our home. We loved receiving updates and pictures during her stay and she was always quick to respond whenever we would reach out. We found Hailey to be diligent, trustworthy and prompt. We have already scheduled her next stay.”
About: I grew up around cats and have always been comfortable caring for them and understanding their different personalities and routines. Over the years, I’ve helped care for cats in both home and pet sitting settings, including feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and providing a calm environment while owners are away. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and aim to provide dependable, attentive care so both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.
About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets with both everyday and complex medical needs. I have hands-on experience caring for cats with diabetes, thyroid disease, feeding tubes, and administering medications, so I’m comfortable providing extra attention to senior and special-needs pets. I also volunteer at my local animal shelter, helping socialize and care for cats as they prepare for adoption. Most importantly, I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, providing patient, dependable, and compassionate care while keeping you updated every step of the way.
“Nicole stepped in to assist with our dog during a family emergency where I had to travel out of state at the last minute. Without hesitation she took care of our very particular Lacey - walks to the pond close by, and tackled the process of feeding Lacey - which is not easy - but handled it like champion! We are forever grateful for Nicole’s help and we will reach out to her in the future as our dog walking needs arise. AND she was kind enough to bring us ice cream treats 🍦”
“Misty came by for a third meet and greet with Mia and we went over feeding instructions and the walking route for her morning post breakfast walk. Mia recognized Misty and was wagging her tail. Misty was good with Mia and there were no problems walking, or coming in the house. Misty was on time, even for early morning visit which was appreciated. Thanks!”

“Wonderful sitters, Bill and Krista. My wife and I had to drive from California and needed to board our five small furry ones for an afternoon while we secured housing. Bill is a gracious host with a beautiful back yard and his love for animals is very evident. Can’t go wrong with these guys. Will be using their services again.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. We grew up with a small farm, horses, cows, chickens, bunnies, guinea pigs dogs cats you name it we’ve had it. To be honest, I enjoy animals more than people most times but I’m retired and find It’s very boring so I would love to have something to keep me busy.. I can come to your home or you can bring your pets to mine. I have a fenced in yard lots of room for them to run. I am retired and have lots of time on my hands. I would love to take care of your fur baby and give them lots of love I have a fenced in yard. I do have a small Shih Tzu. He’s very friendly loves people and dogs only thing he bites is lizards.
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable dog walker with a genuine love for animals and a passion for providing safe, attentive care. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies who love adventure to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take time to learn their routines, personality, and individual needs to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. My goal is to give your dog not only exercise, but also companionship, attention, and a positive experience while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to treating every dog like family. Safety is always my top priority, and I believe in positive reinforcement, consistency, and building trust with both pets and owners. You can count on regular updates and communication so you can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and becoming someone both of you can rely on! I don’t have a daily routine or pets of my own at this time, I have learned that pet care becomes a set of repeating rhythms spread across the day rather than one big task. A typical routine often looks like this: * Morning: feeding, fresh water, a walk or litter-box cleanup, and a quick check that the pet seems normal in energy and behavior. * During the day: exercise, play, mental stimulation, bathroom breaks, and attention that matches the animal’s needs. * Evening: another meal if needed, more activity or bonding time, grooming for some pets, and preparing a comfortable sleep setup. * Less frequent tasks: brushing, nail trims, cleaning habitats or bedding, training, medications, and vet appointments. Different pets shift the balance a lot. A dog may anchor your day around walks and exercise, while a cat may need shorter play sessions and litter maintenance. Good home pet care usually includes consistent food and fresh water, regular exercise and play, a clean living space, grooming, and attention to health and behavior. Dogs often need walks and training; cats need litter-box maintenance and play. I also watch for changes in appetite, energy, or behavior because those can be early signs that something is off.
About: I have been a pet owner (dogs and/or cats) for over 30 years of my life. I have past experience as a vet tech and a groomer, and I would love the opportunity to meet and treat your pup as one of my own. We have two other pups in the home who love other dogs and are hoping they’ll have a chance to play with your dogs soon! I currently work remotely, from my home for my job, so I am available to care for your pet(s) any time they may need it. I have a fenced back yard (half of which is 6ft vinyl privacy fencing) and two energetic pups of my own, to keep your doggo(s) entertained for hours.
About: I love animals, especially dogs and cats. I am respectful and considerate, and I spoil and pet them all the time. I have been taking care of animals practically since I was a child. I am aware that they have important basic needs to consider, such as bathroom time, meal time, walk time. If they need special care or to take any medication, I am also happy to fulfill them. I work remotely from home, so I'm available to provide objective, dedicated, and responsible care. I can answer your questions via text message. And if you decide to, give me a call; I'll be happy to help your furry friends. Abrir en They will be in my constant company. I have a living room with a dining room and an additional room, spacious spaces, and a small balcony in my apartment if they like to look outside. This would be accompanied by me, of course. They will never be alone. I am very affectionate with them. I can follow the routine you have planned (as similar as possible) to your pet's so that your absence is bearable and pleasant. Just write to me and tell me what you are looking for. I will be happy to help you.
About: Certified by the American Red Cross in Dog and Cat First Aid/CPR, includes training on CPR, choking, wound care, seizures and general care. Our family has had dogs for over 20 years. We have loved and cared for them from puppies to seniors. We currently have 2 gentle dogs in our household that play well with other dogs. Dogs are invited to play in our fenced in yard and swim in our pool. My husband and I both work from home that provides us with ample time during breaks and lunches to play and care for ours and your pets. My husband works 7 days on and then has 7 days off. This provides him with a lot of flexibility to provide attention to our furry friends. When our teenage son is home from school, he too enjoys playing with the pooches. We split our time between Florida and Minnesota, so some of our pictures may have palm trees or pine trees, depending on where we are. :) Our yard is fenced in and we do have access to a field for dogs to play fetch. We allow dogs to swim in the pool with the owners permission. Our flooring has no carpet so messes are easy to clean up. Vaccination & Flea Treatment Requirement: For the safety of our dogs, and the future dogs we will be sitting, we require proof of up to date vaccinations and flea/tick treatment. A copy or picture of your pets most recent veterinarian visit summary will be fine.

About: Trusted care for your beloved pet. I have many years experience with all types of animals. I will gladly care for your pets as if they were my own.

I have a split fenced backyard available for private play or group play. Plenty of toys and interactive activities to ensure your pets are safe and having a blast! All pets are supervised at all times.
About: I work remotely, so pets get consistent supervision and companionship all day. I’m experienced with young pets who need structure and senior pets who need a calm, attentive environment. I focus on safety, routine, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for. Working from home makes it easy for me to give pets lots of attention and structure. I take short breaks during the day for walks, playtime, and cuddles, and I keep their feeding and bathroom schedule consistent. Since I’m home all week, I can care for your pet M-F from 9:30 am to 5 pm. I have a huge backyard so you precious pet can have so fun and play outside. You can trust me since I have taken very good care of my own pets, a dog and a hamster. My neighborhood is a very safe place, so you don't have to worry about your furry friend while you are away.

“My golden doodle, Brandy had her first sleep over with Charles and she loved it! While there, Brandy was treated like family. She was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I received pictures of Brandy and updates. The yard is incredibly big, fenced in, lots of shade. This is a perfect place for any dog to be!”
“Nylo really enjoyed his first day of his meet and greet. I feel that we have found a Great place for him with Shayla and he will definitely be returning for more daycare days! Overall we are very satisfied. 😊”
About: I've been caring for cats and dogs for over 5 years, looking after pets for friends, family and neighbours. As a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford, I'm responsible, detail-oriented and great with routines — your pet's feeding, medication and walk schedule will always be followed precisely. I have my own car, so vet visits or unexpected trips are never a problem. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that's long walks, play sessions or quiet cuddles on the sofa. Your pet will get attentive, affectionate care while you're away. I work flexibly from home most of the time, which means your pet will rarely be left alone*!!!!!! The only exception is Monday and Tuesday daytime, when I'm out at the office — outside of those hours, I'm fully available evenings, nights and all weekend for feeding, walks, play and cuddles. This makes me a great fit for boarding, drop-in visits and dog walking throughout the week. I own my home, so there are no landlord restrictions or sudden moves — your pet will stay in a stable, welcoming environment. The apartment is clean, quiet and pet-friendly, with a small private garden where dogs can safely stretch their legs, sniff around and enjoy some outdoor time. Inside, I'll set up a comfortable spot for your pet to relax and settle in. I always make sure doors and gates are secure before letting them out, and I stick closely to any feeding, medication or walking routine you provide. You'll get daily photo and video updates, and I'm always reachable by message if anything comes up.

About: I have always loved dogs and cats and always love being around them so I would love the opportunity to make you and your animals happy. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I care for my 14-year-old dog and two cats every day, which includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, litter box maintenance, grooming when needed, and making sure they are comfortable and happy. Caring for senior pets has also taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to changes in behavior or health. Because pet care is already a regular part of my life, I am comfortable incorporating additional pets into my schedule and providing them with reliable, attentive care. 🐾 Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s needs and personality. I carefully follow any instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, or special care requirements. I also make sure pets have a safe, clean environment and keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for while they’re away. 🐾💕
About: UPDATE: I loved my past dog sittings, however I took time off to be a caregiver for my husband and then my dad. My best boy Oreo recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge and I am ready to shower that love on your furry loved ones. I love all animals and have a fondness for dogs of any type. I have had various size dogs all my life. I have been involved with animal rescue organizations, as well as fostered many dogs. My current dog was a foster that I ended up adopting. I am retired and available to take care of your fur babies in your home! I love playing, snuggling, and walking with them. Your fur babies will get plenty of attention and I will provide pictures while you are away. It will be my honor to take care of your cherished family member and ensure they are happy. Since I am retired my schedule is flexible. I am available to care for your fur baby and take care of your home, as needed. I will follow all guidelines you provide in caring for your fur baby at home. Snuggling on the sofa or giving them space is ok.
About: Back in 2014, my parents adopted my sweet Sadie girl! Ever since then, I have learned the responsibility of caring for my girl and giving her all the lovings! She has led me to caring for other dogs by walking and feeding them at their owners request. I’m a full-time teacher for FCPS, but am looking for something to do after school and on the weekends. I am available 7 days a week other than when my brewery that I work at part-time schedules me. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings on Saturday and Sunday. I can also be available on weekdays in the late afternoon. Once summer comes around, I will be very flexible and will adjust to your schedule. I am more than willing to bring your puppy to my fenced in courtyard at my apartment complex. I am comfortable putting dogs into crates as well and feeding.
About: I’m home all day/night pet sitting full time! Once I became a pet owner I never looked back. My fury child is my life. As a pet owner for 14 years I am very skillful in all areas of pet car from teeth brushing to tick picking. I have seen them grow old, loose their hearing, sight and ability to walk, but never once treated them like an old dog. I take seriously the need for touch by brushing their hair as often as possible and giving belly ribs when they turn on their backs for that special attention. My bed is their bed as they like to cuddle and feel safe and secure. I am a morning person and love feeling the brisk air as I watch pets take to the grass for their morning outing. I am home all day/night! I am available as early as 5:30am to receive your fury child into my home. I have plenty of space for them to play and I for one like to keep them in my site. Especially the little ones, they can get into so much. I have 4 dogs parks right in my community and each one is covered in grass. I love to walk, so your pet will never be taken off schedule. I have the best water-resistant floors in the event of any accidents, just wipe and go. I take work/life balance breaks so always free to play with your pets. I am currently home all day/night! I can feed twice a day or more, and I offer treats, walks and lots of play time. I can separate your pet, if need be. I have lots of sleeping space for those that are just tired little pups. My house is quiet, no children so no bother. I have a closed in balcony which provide a nice look out point for your pet. I have stuff animals and dog toys that I leave around the house for playmates as well.

Helping animals feel safe, loved, and confident enough to find their forever homes is incredibly rewarding, and it’s one of my greatest passions. Your pets are family, and I promise to treat your fur babies with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I can’t wait to meet them! As a teacher, my availability changes throughout the year! During summer, Thanksgiving, winter, and spring breaks, I have a very flexible schedule and can provide daytime, and extended care. During the school year, I’m available on evenings, weekends, and most holidays. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and look forward to caring for your pets when you need a helping hand! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and favorite activities, so they can stay as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I provide plenty of love, playtime, enrichment, and attention, while always respecting your home and following your care instructions closely. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have been a pet owner (dogs and/or cats) for over 30 years of my life. I have past experience as a vet tech and a groomer, and I would love the opportunity to meet and treat your pup as one of my own. We have two other pups in the home who love other dogs and are hoping they’ll have a chance to play with your dogs soon! I currently work remotely, from my home for my job, so I am available to care for your pet(s) any time they may need it. I have a fenced back yard (half of which is 6ft vinyl privacy fencing) and two energetic pups of my own, to keep your doggo(s) entertained for hours.

“First time I had to leave my pup who has separation anxiety for more than a day or two. Was super nervous about it but it seemed like he had a great time! Was sent lots of updates and photos. Will definitely be bringing him here in the future if I need to!”
“This is the second vacation that we’ve left Benji with Debbie and she is the BEST! Her home is perfectly setup for doggies and her little guy Teddy is the greatest playmate!! I will absolutely continue to book Debbie as often as possible!”
“What a terrific person Rebecca is! She's very easy to talk with, understands my pups needs and quirks, and...she sent me pictures of my boy every day! This was my first time using Rebecca. I went on a cruise, so you could imagine that I'd be a bit nervous. But Rebecca put me at ease on day one and every day going forward! I didn't worry at all!! He got lots of attention and love! Great job Rebecca! And your wonderful family, too!”

The pictures shows that he was comfortable in his surroundings which made it easier for me and my spouse to handle what we went to do. I recommending you to all my friends and co-workers .”

“Korie and her husband treat my dog Zoey so well, just like she is a member of their family. I love getting the pictures and videos. Zoey even gets excited when she can tell we’re pulling into their driveway, because she knows she’s about to have a lot of fun.”
“Asher & Sweetie had another great stay at Janelly's! I could tell they enjoyed their stay and love their new second family. Janelly sent me daily photos and videos of the dogs running around the backyard having a good time.”
“Peggy and her husband were absolutely amazing with our Frenchie, Minnie. They were fantastic with sending pictures and letting us know what was going on. My dog didn’t want to come home she loved it so much. Peggy and her husband were so kind and even came and picked her up for us doing a very chaotic time. Definitely 5/5 stars!”

“The boarding with Gage and Ann was everything I could hope for and more! My recent rescue melted into their loving structure like he had always been family. The regular updates and the prompt communication made it easy to relax and not worry about my pup one bit. My pup isn’t the easiest to manage and Gage was spectacular at recognizing body language cues and helped bring out more confidence in my dog. I will happily rebook any time I need a sitter!”
“Krista is absolutely amazing. My dog have never taken so well with anyone. She's an Army brat as well, mear & dear to my heart.... be sure to check out her plants for sale too. Amazing house overall My dogs officially have "another woman" I was so entertained while I was gone, with the cute photos and updates. Super great lady. I hope she will always have openings for my boys. I'm not telling any friends about her, so she can be steady fun for my pups. Yes. She's THAT good, I think we'll keep her around. :"WE RUV THAT PRETTY LADY WITH TREATS & GLOW COLLARS," Blue and Shiloh "SHES A GREAT SNUGGLER AND EVEN RUBBED IT IN A BIT WHEN SHE MESSAGED MOM,"- Blue "I slept for 6 hours when I got home from Miss Kristas, And Mom had to wake me up for dinner,"- Shiloh the Treat Miser”
“Jennifer is an amazing women. She quickly responded back to me. We met the next day for a meet and greet. She was so lovely to speak with. My dogs loved her as well. It was the first time I was leaving my dogs with a stranger. She made me feel that I was leaving my dogs in good hands. She was in contact with me through out her stay. Within minutes of being home I received a phone call of a family emergency. I quickly reached out to Jennifer that I needed her back within a day and she was there for me. I don't know what I would have done without her. She took amazing care of not only my dogs but my home as well. Jennifer is kind, loving, sensitive, attentive, respectful, and professional person. I will definitely be requesting her again. Thank you”
“We used Anne for the first time for a weekend overnight at her home with our dog. She arranged for us to meet before the weekend to get everyone comfortable, which was very much appreciated. During our dog's stay, Anne stayed in touch with videos and photos. The visit was a huge success! We recommend Anne for anyone looking for dog watching services.”
