“Keri was outstanding! From the initial communication to the pickup at the end. She sent pictures almost daily of my two pets as well as regular updates on their status and well-being. Keri truly provided them with a second home while we were out of town. Highly recommended!”
“Dana took excellent care of our dog. She sent us pictures, made special treats, and stayed up late so we could pick up Jewels after our flight came in Saturday night. We really appreciated her above and beyond care giving to our little one. And Dana has other small dogs so Jewels had other dogs to play with and she loves playing. We would hire Dana again if needed.”
“Our other kennel that we have used for 20 years was booked. One of our friends book her dog with Sara J all the time and has said amazing things about her. So we decided to try Sara. Sara sent pictures to us every single day. In every single picture, our dog was smiling. Our animals are our children. We want them happy while we are gone. At the end of the week we were wondering if Conn was going to want to come home because he was having so much fun. He was well kept and likes Sara. We will book with her again! Thank you Sara. Oh BTW he was tired when he got home and slept the entire evening!”
“Marisol is genuinely our favorite sitter that we’ve met! She and Milo have been so incredibly hospitable and welcoming. The amount of relief and excitement I feel knowing that my pup is not only cared for but spoiled and loved is amazing. My pup is excited to get there and when I come to pick her up, she doesn’t want to leave. THAT is the telltale sign of a wonderful human and home! Dolce 🩷’s Milo (and Marisol!)”
“Easy setting up our dates for our two dogs. Plenty of space for the dogs to get some outside activities. Appreciated the updates during the stay with pictures. Would use again without any hesitation.”
“Kathie is so great with the updates and photos of my pup! I know he’s always well cared for! He loves to going to see Kathie so much that I have to coax him in to leaving her house! 😆”
“Shay continues to wow us and our adventure pup, Kota. She spoils him rotten and takes incredible care of her canine guests. This trip Kota had eye care needs and Shay really went above and beyond to also nurse him. We trust Shay, hold her in high regard, and are so grateful to be able to go on vacation knowing Kota is in great hands.”
“Katie has always been so nice and we love the way her and her family look after our big guy! We can always tell they treat him like their very own and we can't recommend them enough!”
“Sammy had a great time with Esther. He loves running and playing in her yard and with the other dogs. She takes such good care of him. I don't worry when I have to leave him.”
“Our Toby loves Michelle and we love her too! I love getting several pictures and videos of Toby while we're gone, so I can tell he is doing really well. That gives me peace of mind while out of town, knowing that our fur baby is in good, loving hands. Toby gets regular walks and lots of snuggles with Michelle, and I love that he doesn't have to be left alone for hours. I truly appreciate Michelle!”
“Lani is so accommodating to our schedule and to our Dogs needs. Our dogs have no anxiety when dropped off or picked up. She makes them feel safe, comfortable and loved. Thank you Lani.”
“Very nice couple. We booked them for a short stay and they took care good of ours boys, very flexible for drop off and pick up time, also always send pictures and updates! Thank you again”
“My pup had a great time at Cyndi’s! She took my last minute request on very short notice and I’m truly grateful. She sent plenty of updates and photos to help ease my anxiety. 10/10 I recommend Cyndi.”
“Xiaotong was a fantastic sitter for our energetic corgi, baobao! She was very welcoming, communicative, and always sent us photos throughout his stay. We also appreciated how she was flexible and accommodated our needs. Baobao really meshed with her dogs as well and seemed to match their energy. Will definitely have Xiaotong as our go-to sitter!”
“Val was wonderful from the very start! She is very professional and I was so comfortable leaving my pup with her! She has many reviews and there is a definite reason! Thanks for taking such good care of my girl!”
“Kristin was great to work with and she was very reliable and happy to have our dog in her home. She was very responsive and worked with us on any special needs for our dog. Kristin sent us pictures during the visit and kept us updated and was great about flexible drop off and pick up. We will definitely be using her again soon!”
“Carmen went above and beyond while watching our dog, Honey! From regular updates to genuinely thoughtful care, we felt completely at ease the entire time. I was very appreciative of all the photos and videos she sent! Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again! :)”

“Thank you so much for great care of Rosie and Merlin during our time away. Keri does an excellent job of keeping you informed during your absence which is very appreciated.”
“Lauren and Ernest are simply the best, always responsive, our cats love them and they're so very kind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to take care of their babies!”
“Mandi did a great job with our cat. He currently needs meds and she kept him on schedule while we were away. She was on time and reliable. He can be shy but he took to her without any issues. Thank you Mandi!”
“It has taken me awhile to have time to write a review but not because Renee was lacking in her petsitting! My rescue pup, Cedar, and I had not been apart more than a few hours since last October when she came to me from Turkey. I needed to make a trip to Chicago and of course Cedar is too big to fit under my seat on the plane! Very nervous leaving her, my house and the 10 year old kitty, Georgi for the week I was gone. Renee was great however and made it a much more relaxing visit with my daughter than it would have been otherwise. My house was just as I left it and maybe with a few less Cedar hairs! Cedar was happy and content and Georgi loved the extra attention! I was sent photos daily with updates. Renee was quick to ask questions and get issues resolved with these two fur babies. She also cared for Georgi when Cedar and I drove to Montana in the latter part of September. Renee is quick to respond to my inquiries and very kind to the pets. Definitely will call on her again!”
“Morgan did really great with my mean Ole kitty cat! She doesnt do well at all with strangers but Morgan was patient and thoughtful which helped her build trust in Morgan and gave my cat time to warm up to her so she could feel safe when she visited. She was also very diligent about following my instructions for care which meant I was able to be fully confident in my cats care while I was out of the country for two weeks for my honeymoon. Very professional and timely and would work with her again.”
“The cats said that she did great and they were well taken care of! Kyrsten was willing to take a last minute booking and saved us. Good communication and willing to work with our timing for care along with all of our instructions. Would book again!”
“Isabel took wonderful care of our cat Esther while we were on vacation, including cleaning her litter box and sending great photos and videos of her. We came home to a happy healthy feline. Esther recommends Isabel if you are looking for a loving and responsible pet sitter, and we recommend her too.”
“We have had Jennifer a few times and she is great with our 2 guys. Lots of photos and updates and she plays with our energetic cat a lot. We know they are always well cared for when she comes over.”
“Cassandra is amazing! She takes such good care of our Jimmy. It's been a dream traveling and not having to worry if our girl is being cared for properly. Highly recommend!”
“Always thankful for Diana’s care. She’s an excellent communicator, send pictures and updates after every visit. We always feel stress free knowing our kitty is in good company.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for cats my entire life and have cats of my own. I’m comfortable caring for cats with all different personalities, from playful and social to shy and independent. I also have experience caring for a client’s cat who required medication by injection, which I administered successfully. I’m patient, attentive, and always follow feeding, medication, litter, and care instructions closely while giving each cat the space or affection they prefer.
“The BEST as always. Maria (&her cute assistant) always treat our cat as family. We have been traveling so much this past year and we always feel the most at ease when they are there.”
“Heather was amazing! Very communicative, which was especially helpful! Instantly got along with our little Whitney. Very glad Heather was looking after our little fur baby.”
“I don’t know if you’re able to review a person more than once. But I had Andrhu coming for drop in visits during my long work hours because he lives just a few blocks away. I noticed my cat who is 15 took to him right away and he paid attention to my very *particular* requests about her care. Not only did I have a significant increase in my cats level of calmness - but literally at the LAST minute I saw that the sitter I use when I’m out of town had left my cat alone for almost 24 hours. Then pushed he out of bed when the cat tried to ask for minimal attention. To say I was crushed was an understatement. I was in complete tears. I have a lot going on and am kind of a single pet parent until my husband can join me in the USA. Andrhu AGAIN was a god send. One one days notice I let the other sitter go home for personal reasons and Andrhu agreed to stay - he was with her most all day every day. I came home today, my cat happy, playing with a ball at 15 years old. And now I am comfortable purchasing a kitten to make her (and I) even happier. Knowing I have Andrhu close by - he’s SO flexible. He’s honest and communicates expectations clearly which I appreciate and respect. The amount of guilt I carry about leaving her is at a zero. Down from about 200 on my last vacation. And now with our new addition coming - I consider Andrhu to be part of my cat tribe to make sure they’re all ok. I don’t want him to get completely booked (selfishly). But this is the relationship I needed for my sweet girl until my husband is allowed to live here - and for every vacation after. I highly recommend treating him with utmost respect. I have a guest set of linens, towels and hope Andrhu will help himself to anything food or drink in my home. At this point my home is him home and even if we haven’t met he is cat-family. Hire him whenever you can. The compassion he shows to even old pets it unmatched. I’m almost crying tears of joy from having my anxiety so much reduced in this difficult time in my life.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Algona
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I have volunteered with multiple animal shelters (including fostering), a big cat sanctuary, and has worked at a veterinary clinic and pet boarding facility. I will be your pet's main caregiver, and have also owned dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, ferrets, frogs, and turtles throughout my life. My partner Marlon loves to walk/run with dogs and has had dogs, and is a chicken lover as well! I am very prepared to handle many situations and pet personalities. I recently cared for our senior dog (18-years-old!) with medical needs, and fostered puppies, so I am very understanding of dog needs. I understand how to make dogs feel safe and part of our family, and will send daily pictures to you so you know they're in good hands. **Have pets that aren't dogs?** I also own a cat, chickens, two turtles, and frogs. I volunteer at a cat rescue and have volunteered at a big cat sanctuary, have had hamsters, ferrets, an iguana, axolotls, fish.... I can handle most animals, just ask! **Notes** - Rates are per 24 hours. There will be an additional late fee of $5.00 for every hour past the agreed time for pick-up, unless you clearly communicate with us about your timeline. - Housesitting includes an overnight stay and care as needed (feeding, walks, and potty breaks) throughout the day. I may need to care for other clients or my own pets, or go into work. If you require constant care (24hrs per day, animal cannot be left alone), this needs to be arranged beforehand and the price will be higher than my regular housesitting rate. I work from home so time for pet care is flexible, I usually have plenty of time for walks or hikes with dogs that are visiting. I have a fenced yard and have the ability to make zones within my home if it's necessary. I try to stick to the typical schedule the animals are used to, to the best of my ability and schedule.
“Sara is amazing. My boy looked so happy during his visit and he was still so happy and exhausted afterward! 10/10 would recommend and will be asking Sara to watch him again in the future.”
“Anthony has been so wonderful to work with for our fur baby! He is very caring and lets us k is how her day went as well as how she ate etc. We love the pictures of her playing with his pups and napping and the best endorsement was how excited she was next time we took her. My husband said she could hardly wait to get through the door! Thank you, Anthony! 🐾”
“Jacklyn was great! Sent lots of (very cute!) pictures, walked McCoy, and made sure he got along with her own dog. McCoy was always happy to see her (and her dog) when we dropped him off. Jacklyn was also very responsive to us (e.g. when we had to modify our arrival/pick up time) which made our lives very easy.”
“Kristina is an amazing furbaby sitter, and we are so grateful for the care and attention she gives to Enzo every time he stays with her. Enzo is a regular with Kristina, which says a lot about the trust and comfort we feel leaving him in her care. She is dependable, kind, and truly treats him like family. We always appreciate the updates, love, and patience she gives him, and it gives us peace of mind knowing he is safe, happy, and well cared for. Enzo always comes home relaxed and happy, and we highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾”
“We were super grateful for Dennis and Lynn. They did a wonderful job taking care of our doggo! Appreciated the pics and video they sent throughout the day. Great communication, highly recommend!”
“Joyce and her husband were wonderful with our Coco. They know dogs and worked so well with ours. He has a bit of separation anxiety, but Joyce and her dogs took care of that immediately. Loved the large fenced back yard and the fact that her 2 dogs were small so ours wasn’t intimated. Looking forward to working with her again.”
“When my older Corgi and I were busy for several days, Odalys's daycare was the perfect for my younger Corgi! Easy drop off and pick up, great communication, and Knox came home happy and tired! It was great for him to be able to get out and move during the day and to get a chance to play!”
“Always an exceptional experience, and we never have to worry. I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle, Keith, and Lola — such a wonderful family. They’re personable, caring, and genuinely the best.”
“I'm so glad I found Siyun! My senior boy did 8 days of daycare & was excited for drop-off each am with her. Siyun kept me informed & took great pictures. I would definitely recommend using her to anyone!”
“Marisol took excellent care of my baby Mochi and he seemed so happy in the pictures. I appreciate her regular updates and photos. I feel he was safe and in good hands. Over all my experience was great and loved the report card and felt like a proud mama. Looking forward to leaving Mochi again.”
“Maria is fantastic! Marky is hesitant when it comes to interacting with people and dogs when I am not with him but Maria showed him there was nothing to fear! They take beautiful walks together, naps with his friends, and gets to play all day in a pack. He comes home tired and happy when the day is done. Maria really loves all of the dogs like her own”
“Our dog was instantly at home the moment he met Kathie. We had never left him with anyone before and this turned out to be a great experience. Now we know we can go away overnight and our dog will be right at home at Kathie’s house!”
“Kyley and her husband took wonderful care of my puppy! They have a huge, secure yard where the dogs can run and play, and it was clear my puppy had a great time. They are incredibly kind, friendly, and genuinely care about the pets they look after. I felt completely at ease knowing my puppy was in such good hands. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving pet sitters!”
“Priscilla was lovely. Super friendly, very accommodating and fast communication. Marlo is sometimes shy/uninterested with new people and she was instantly excited to see Priscilla. I felt extremely comfortable leaving her. Will absolutely be back!”
“Couldn't be happier. I was in a bind and needed daycare because my place had closed without notice and I was looking for a long term doggy daycare solution. Mariah and her family obviously love animals and my year old cockapoo has been well taken care of. Lots of room to play and roam. I feel comfortable leaving him with them and don't worry about his care and safety.”
“Our young husky mix loved racing other dogs in Adrienne's fenced pasture. And Adrienne was very helpful when I could not find our reservation on Rover We enjoyed the 10 photos, and could see that Thea's need for active canine companions l was well met.”
“Lexi and Victor were very easy going and responsive. We booked them so we could go hiking in Mount Rainier National Park for the day and it worked perfect. They were flexible and had great communication. Teddy had a great time.”

“Rose is very communicative and dependable! My 12 year old heeler warmed right up and she was attentive to his peculiar cattle dog ways. Will definitely have her back to help take care of him again :)”
“Isa did a great job with our dog, Frida. She’s reliable and communicative, and it’s clear from the pictures that all of our animals (dog and 3 cats) wanted to be around her! We recommend her for your dog and cat care needs, and we’ll definitely be rebooking her again.”
“Andrhu is such a wonderful walker for our family, our girls really see him as a friend and playmate. He is so caring and really keeps our girls happiness and safety in the forefront if each visit. We feel such comfort knowing they are safe with him and that they have a great time playing, exploring and getting the daily stimulation we can't always provide when we are working”
About: I have owned pets my entire life and miss having them around. Timing is not right for me now to have my own so I am opening my life up to caring for others’ pets. I currently work from my home office which allows me flexibility to care for pets periodically throughout the week. Most weekends are open for me. My apartment complex has a fenced play yard for dogs. I also walk for exercise frequently and would take your dog on walks with me.
“Callie is always on time and very professional. I often have schedule changes and have to book last minute or change bookings around last minute and she makes everything work out whenever possible. Always a pleasure to work with.”
“Kristin is always very communicative, letting us know when she is on the way for theor walk. She takes the time to send lots of pictures of their adventures and provide updates on how things are going. Our babies get so excited when Kristen arrives. They love their time with her.”
About: My name is Samantha! I am teacher and have breaks to help out other dog owners. I have owned dogs my whole life. I am very safe and responsible and am used to managing 30 kids all day, I can definitely handle a couple pups! I will be very respectful of your time and can be flexible to accommodate you and your pup. I love going in walks, and would love to take yours on safe ones as well. I can do drop in visits and overnights as well, thank you!! I am off for the summer so I have lots of time currently! I no longer have pets of my own anymore, so it's even easier for me to make space in my schedule. I have a yard but it is not fully fenced so pets would always be leashed. I no longer have any animals in my home.
“Francesca was so so great with our pup who definitely takes a minute to warm up. We’re doing a bunch of walks before she stays with her in a few months and are so glad we found her!! Highly recommend and has an energy that our pup loved immediately.”
“Xiaotong did spectacularly! She followed all of my instructions perfectly, and I received daily updates that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Getting back into our routine was a piece of cake thanks to her care. 10/10 — I’ll definitely recommend her and will choose her again! My girls absolutely loved her! 💗🐶”
