Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ayock
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ayock
“Our dog Benny had an exceptional stay with Bailey & Kyle! This was our first time leaving him overnight, but after the meet&greet, we were completely at ease. Bailey & Kyle were attentive and responsive, sending multiple pictures to keep us updated. Their spacious fenced yard was also a HUGE plus, giving Benny plenty of room to play. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!”
“This was my first time using Rover, or any pet sitting service, and I couldn’t have been more content with how easy the process was to book the service. Our sitter, Lorelei, was beyond amazing with our fur baby. She consistently keep us updated with pictures and daily details of their day. It made me feel at ease about traveling without our fur baby. I completely recommend Lorelei and will be booking with her again in the future.”
“Kaylee was amazing! Simba is a senior dog and she made sure he was comfortable the whole duration of his stay, and gave updates every day. I could tell Simba was loved and really enjoyed himself. I would definitely book her again.”
“Charis was the absolute perfect pet sitter for our adopted Pug. Our pup had never been boarded before. And, because she’s used to going with us almost everywhere she experiences significant separation anxiety when she cannot go. And, although she likes her crate we do not crate her at night. She has always slept on our bed with us. Charis understood & did not have any problem allowing our pup to sleep on their bed with them. And, dog loves playing with other dogs. So, the fact that Charis had French & English Bulldogs that were of similar size & temperament made her place the obvious choice. Not to mention the kind & caring atmosphere at her home. It was very obvious that our pup had a great time because she came home exhausted & happy. And, was very relaxed & at peace the next day. We also really appreciated receiving daily updates & photos via text. It really helped to set our minds at ease. We definitely intend to use Charis again. And, we will highly recommend her services to everyone we meet.”
“Kayla and Jacob took amazing care of our energetic lab. The property was great for our dog to play and explore. Their family treated our dog as one of their own, making us feel at ease while we were away for an extended time. Would definitely use again!”
“Alex was fantastic with our dog Onyx. We received regular updates, and Onyx and Alex's dog got along great. They managed integrating Onyx with their dog very well and didn't rush anything allowing them to establish a good relationship. They have a very nice, quiet space and are available with your pet the majority of the time if not constantly. I would definitely recommend Alex to any friend that needed a dog watched.”
“Krista is always amazing! We love how caring she is with our sweet Sandi girl! We appreciate her communication and the daily photos she shares with us! Krista will always be our go to when we are in need of a dog sitter!”
“Peter took lots of pics and gave me lots of updates on how my dog was doing. It looks like she got lots of love and was happy in every pic. Plus he has super sweet dogs for your dog to play with. I would use Peter and his family as dog sitters again.”
“Hank had a wonderful time with Wynona and family! He was taken such good care of and went on lots of walks, socialized with people and pets and Wynona sent photos of my baby throughout his stay. It was the first time I've ever had anyone babysit my puppy and it could not have gone better. Thank you Wynona and family for taking such wonderful care of Hank!”
“James is hands down the best dog sitter I have ever had. He is communicative throughout the whole process, he’s a true animal lover and he actively shows his love to your pet while under his care. I could tell by my pet Apollos behavior that he didn’t want to leave James when I picked him up. They went for hikes, walks and he got tons of snuggles and cuddles. James is not your typical dog sitter, he’s above average in every way and I wish I lived closer to him to use him every week!!!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who friends and family regularly trust to care for their pets while they travel. I have two friendly golden retrievers who truly love other dogs and are gentle, playful, and well-socialized. I’m experienced with a wide range of personalities—from high-energy pups who need lots of playtime to senior dogs who prefer a calm, cozy environment. I treat every dog as if they were my own, paying close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and individual quirks. Your dog will enjoy plenty of love, supervised play, and a safe, comfortable home where they’re never just “watched,” but genuinely cared for. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and a calm, structured environment. I’m available for both short-notice needs and bookings well in advance as you plan your travels. My goal is to be your go-to sitter whenever you need reliable, loving care. I have a large fully fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized golden retrievers who enjoy playing in the backyard by a game of chase and/or fetch. I closely monitor playtime and all interactions, follow each dog’s routine, and can crate, separate, or provide quiet space if needed in order to keep all dogs in my care stress/free, comfortable and happy. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities. This isn’t just a place where you drop your dog for the day or for a trip. It’s a calm, loving environment where dogs feel safe and loved while you’re away. I choose thoughtful exercise and enrichment to keep them happy and give them plenty of opportunities to burn energy and excitement.
“We absolutely love her and her family. I was so worried about leaving my puppy with her as a first time puppy mom but I had nothing to worry about at all. Will definitely be using her weekly.”
“A friend recommended David to me, and I’m so glad they did! My schedule is incredibly hectic, but they were so patient, understanding, and kept me updated with great communication the entire time. I absolutely loved getting all the picture updates. Most importantly, my pup came home so happy and he made some new friends. I highly recommend!”
“Roxana and Nathan did an amazing job taking care of my dog Chase over the weekend! They sent me updates on how he was doing and gave him his medication both days. When I picked Chase up, I could tell he was loved and taken care of extremely well during his stay. I highly recommend Roxana and Nathan for anybody in need of an exceptional dog sitter!”
“Miranda and her family did an amazing job caring for our older dog. She was very attentive to his specific needs, as a senior dog, keeping him on track with his arthritis medication. She provided lots of photos and consistent communication. He came home a happy dog!”

“This was my first time using Rover but Vanessa and Eulalia made it easy. Even though neither of my shy cats showed themselves, they seemed noticeably less anxious when I got home compared to other times I've traveled and had a friend watch them. I will be a repeat customer!”
About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have over 12 years of experience living on a farm, caring for pigs, cows, chickens, dogs, and cats. While I love all animals, dogs and cats have always held a special place in my heart. Friends and family know me as someone animals naturally gravitate toward. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or a senior who needs extra patience and gentle care, I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm dependable, responsible, and understand how important it is to know your pet is in caring hands while you're away. I'll follow your routines, provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and caring for them as if they were my own! I currently have a flexible schedule and spend my time between Olympia and Mukilteo. I generally work remotely, so I am available to house sit during the week or a mid day walk or check in on a break! My aim will always be to keep to your fur baby's schedule regarding walks, potty breaks and feeding. I'll provide plenty of cuddles and love when they are missing you.
“Tammie did an amazing job caring for Toby and Prince while we were on vacation. We were sent lots of videos and pictures during the in home visits, directions were followed perfectly. Couldn’t have asked for more!”
“Madisyn was very detailed oriented and responded properly to any communications from me. She did a perfect job of taking care of my two cats, including managing my asthmatic cat’s medication. I won’thesitate to use her again.”
“Bevin left my house clean and tended, all linens washed and replaced, the garden watered and, most importantly, one kitty happy and well cared for. Alister obviously had lots of love and attention showered on him and I feel quite confident that if anything had gone wrong he would have received any care he needed. He's actually showing me when in the day he got love and snuggles, when he had playtime, and he's trying to tell me he had treats any time he asked - but I don't believe that. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bevin as a pet sitter, and will hire her again.”
“Willow was such an excellent sitter for my dog. She sent plenty of updates and really made us feel comfortable being away from our pup. I couldn’t have been happier with her service and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens. I’m comfortable with everything from feeding and walking to playtime, basic care, and keeping up with each pet’s normal routine. I genuinely love animals and will treat your pets like they’re my own while they’re in my care. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule! I’m available in the mornings and on weekends for walks, drop ins, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of love and care while you’re away. I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all personalities and will always follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, crates, and routines. I know every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: Cats are creatures worthy of worship. And demand respect. Whatever age, they are always authentic and unapologetic. I deeply appreciate them, their intuition, instincts, and quirks. I have had them as companions, friends, and tended elder ones. I will happily do drop in visits for people with just cat(s)or both cat(s)and dog(s). My dog will not accompany me for any of my drop in visits.
“Dawn came to our rescue for a second time recently, when we needed a last-minute walk and feeding. Our boy was happy and in great spirits when we came home, and Dawn updated us with many photos so we knew he was well taken care of :)”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ayock
“Great day for the dogs, we received pictures and were kept up to date how the girls were doing. We were late picking them up but James is very accommodating, would love to book with him again.”
“Every time Andy is with Kaylee he always has fun and friends to play with and comes home tired! Kaylee and her family is always amazing and really take good care of him and his pals.”
“Alex was terrific and very accommodating with some changes to my schedule. Great communication and took excellent care of my pup Annie! I'm very happy with Alex and will use his services again!”
“Tara is a great option for day care or overnight! She has a spacious grassy area for the dogs to run and play and her dog is very sweet and calm. There is ample indoor space as well for the dogs to get out of the rain. Tara obviously knows and loves dogs and we feel confident leaving our fur babies in her care. Thank you Tara!”
“Zara had a wonderful first time visit with Stacey and River & Birdie. Stacey made her feel comfortable around the bigger dogs and she loved the one-on-one attention from Stacey. My pup was happy and tired when I picked her up. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Very pleased with Nate and Roxana’s care for my girl! She was excited and anxious and came home and crashed!! Tired girl from group okay. It was a first daycare experience and she did so great. Appreciated all the pictures and updates. Very responsive in a timely manner. I was put at ease since I was a little nervous leaving her. Great set up/property for the doggies as well! Will be booking again!”
“Thanks to Kayla & family we had a great first time experience on Rover! Super responsive, accommodating, and let me bring Frankie for a visit to meet them the day before. Her kids loved on our dog and she sent pictures of Frankie snuggling😊”
About: I just recently moved to the Shelton area and have been working with animals my whole life. Your pets are my #1 priority and I always value safety the most. It’s important to me that your pet gets the care, exercise and attention that it needs on a daily basis safely. I live on a golf course with a lake so it’s the perfect area for your pet to get fresh air with a scenic view and plenty of nature to enjoy. I’m always open to new ideas with adventures you’d like your pet to go on or how you’d like your pet to be taken care of. I’ve worked with all types of dogs from elderly/disabled to aggressive giant dogs and puppies that just had surgery. I look forward to meeting with you and your fur babies and set up a meet and greet! It is my full time job so I take it as serious as possible. I love animals and will always give them the love and care they need My home does not have a fenced back yard so I will make sure anytime they leave the house they will be on a leash to keep them safe. I have a large shop where I spend most of my down time where they will have plenty of space to run around and get there zoomies out in a safe space. There are plenty of parks around me with water access at our lake and great walking trails/paths on the golf course where I live.
“Kristina is so kind and I just know my pup will have a blast each time she goes over. Very attentive and sends updates in the day which is nice. I definitely trust and recommend Kristina for future dog care”
“Amanda was a great host for my pup! She was flexible to my schedule, good communication and handled my hyper puppy well tiring her out. Very thankful for her help! Will definitely book again.”
About: -->PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BOOK<-- *I have 2 indoor cats (extremely friendly with dogs/cats) and they love to play with the pups. Make sure your pet is friendly with them too ^^ *If this is your first time with me please let's set up a Meet and Greet so you can meet me and my pets and make sure we are a good fit for your pup!! (I don't take new pets without a previous meet and greet, unless is an emergency case) My priority is to keep your pet safe, comfortable and fully entertained while you are away. Walks around the lake in our neighorhood surrounded by nature are a must do in our daily check list (sometimes we even take them to the mall to socialize and get free treats lol) As a pet sitter I'm offering house & pet walking/sitting opportunities to families (I'm willing to travel farther and pick up them by myself)! I have aided many friends & family members in keeping their pets safe to keep their stay-away stress free! I have years experience with dogs and cats. Feel free to DM for more details or if you need a better deal for long-term boarding 😊 I'm currently at home 24/7. My pets and I are used to wake up at 5:30 sm in the morning for the first "Potty Time" Breakfast between 7-8 am. Walks after midday, naps when/if they are tired. Dinner at 5 pm Generally I take my pets out for potty 3 times a day or when they ask me for. Every dog has their own personality so feel completely free to tell me their routines ❣️❣️(feeding time, potty hours, allowed or not on bed/couch etc) Max and Cleo are Great Pyrenees, 2 extremely gentle giants that love to play and take care of any kind of animals (they are very calm but they love to bark at the begging, they get tired easily after some minutes of play time). In the other hand, Kai is a medium size old doggy, he gets very excited with new pets but a few minutes later he just ignore them and likes to go back to take long naps on the couch. I have 2 friendly indoor cats, they mostly spend the day sleeping inside the bedroom or playing with the dogs from time to time.
“Very thankful for the great care from Steven and Rachel! My puppy needed some extra attention after a recent surgery and they were so patient, accommodating and caring to my pup. Good communication and were flexible to my pups needs. Will book again!”
“This was our first time booking a sitter/boarder for Lola and we had a great experience with Robin. I was fortunate to be able to book with her on fairly short notice for a weekday. We went from a daycare visit to an overnight stay seamlessly. She accepted my unspayed dog, which was also very fortunate. Lola had a fenced in yard, gracious family with kid(s), a clean home, and animals to keep her company during her stay. Overall, I found her responsive, easygoing and very accommodating. I'd feel safe bringing Lola to her again in the future. :)”
“Fabulous as usual. Sofia was out of sorts due to the past extremely hot days. Hongyee just helped our fur baby get through the day. Grateful for her ability to roll with it. Absolutely perfect. We felt confident that Sofia would be just fine.”
“Wynona was wonderful watching our dog Lucy. She seemed to really understand how all dogs can be different and gave Lucy a lot of space to adjust to a new place. Wynona was great at sending me uodates, photos and a video. Lucy had a really good time there and hopefully will be going back soon!”
“Baloo had a great time with Valerie! She was prompt in responses and offered a meet and greet before we dropped him off on a holiday! She took great care of him and was very flexible with us.”
“Kyah was great. She was willing to learn about all our dogs particular needs. She took him for a walk and gave us plenty of updates. Kyahs dog is calm and well mannered, the perfect companion pup. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Thanks to Cara we had a wonderful first-time experience on Rover. Yoshi did his first Rover doggy day care and he had a blast. Cara took great care of him and her little girls took to Yoshi. He came home and promptly passed out. Expecting a lot more play dates in the near future. It's awesome to find another Corgi Mom. Thank you, Cara, for welcoming Yoshi into your home. We loved the photos you sent to us throughout the day and hope to add more memories.”

“Alright... where to begin! Brian did a wonderful meet and greet with my boys (two newfoundlands) and walked them today without me..that may seem like a strange thing to say but Byron (my younger boy) refuses to go on a walk for anyone but me - not even my husband! He was perfectly fine on going on the walk with Sinjin (my older boy) and Brian. No temper tantrums, no refusal to walk. NONE of it. Brian took them on a good walk, they had fun and their were no problems.”
About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience! I grew up with multiple dogs and have spent years walking and caring for pets, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with different routines, energy levels, and personalities—and I always make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. Mondays–Wednesdays are my off days and my most flexible time. I work Thursday–Sunday afternoons starting around 2, and my mornings are usually reserved for staying active—walks, workouts, or anything that gets me moving. I don’t have pets currently, but I’ve grown up caring for family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with most breeds, prioritizing calm, safe, attentive care.
“Tara came to our rescue when our regular sitter fell through at the last minute. We were overjoyed after the meet & greet to have someone local that clearly “gets dogs”. Plan to book with her in the future, and are so grateful for the daily updates and photos. Thanks Tara and Leo/Khali look forward to walks with you again soon!”
About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was 2 years old. My dog was my best friend from 2-16 yrs. I was raised on a mini farm and was lucky enough to care for horses, cows, pigs, chickens, several dogs, many cats and recently goats. Nothing brings me more happiness than being around our furry friends. Currently, we have 3 miniature poodle mixes, which we love beyond words. We recently adopted a St. Bernard/Pitbull mix. We have a big dog house 24’x12’ fully fenced to board big dogs. Medium 20 lbs to extra small dogs board/daycare inside our home. We offer an alternative to traditional boarding/daycare. Our dogs are family and guest dogs are welcomed to our family pack. Animals are my passion and bring me fulfillment and joy! Providing daycare and boarding is my profession. I worked a corporate job 35 years as a director in the health insurance field. After I was laid off I decided to not go back to the long hours and stress. Instead I dove head first into following my dream of opening a pet service business. I’ve taken my business experience and love for animals to the next level. I am excellent at following the care plan you give me. I want to take care of your pet as you would with as much love as I can give them. I understand the need for pet parents to travel or work knowing their pets are safe, exercised and loved. I offer a customized experience developed just for your dog.

About: Ive grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. I spent a lot of time with my cousin being a breeder taking her dogs to shows, I have learned how to take care of dogs and how to approach the ones that can be a handful at times. I work a full time Monday- friday job but on my lunches I can stop by for check ins and walks and after work as well. Weekends are always open too. If doing check ins I can clean up any accidents and make sure they are fed and have water(depending on feeding schedules) and I always have local parks and routes pre planned for a good walk
About: I have been taking care of dogs from a very young age, and I have been a professional sitter and boarder for a little over 3 years now. I recently moved to the area and am looking to rebuild my clientele. I am an animal advocate who has spent a lot of time volunteering with different agencies to help find forever homes for abandoned fur babies, and working for programs that went out and helped the homeless get the right care for their pets. I have experience with hyper pets, shy pets, large and small. I love them all the same. Let me spoil your babies while you’re away, and take comfort in knowing that they are safe and loved with me. I am currently an online student and doing a part time work from home job, so I will be home and available for them all day besides appointments or errands I have a large fenced yard that I make sure to walk the perimeter of to make sure there are no escape points. I also have a huge deck for them to lounge on and they have free roam of my home. I do have a toddler in the home, she is very shy with animals and has grown up learning the importance of being gentle and nonintrusive with them.
About: I am a big animal lover! I have had dogs and cats my whole life and periodically watched animals for friends and family throughout the years. I have delt with animals with disabilities, old age, medications and puppies. I just love animals and everything that comes with them. My pets are my current job right now! I am working on starting a small business from home so caring for my animals or others animals is my top prority! I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs that love making friends with new dogs. We are all also big cat lovers! We have a dog house outside if your pet prefers and we take our animals on daily walks and/or car rides.
About: I’m an experienced, attentive pet sitter who understands that every animal has their own personality, needs, and way of communicating. I’m comfortable administering medications, learning commands in different languages, and working with pets of all ages and temperaments. I love enriching their lives through play, mental stimulation, affection, and activities that keep them happy and engaged, not just cared for. I run my own home stewardship business, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be intentional about the time I spend with your pets. I’m an ideal fit for pets who are comfortable being home alone for up to 6 hours while I’m working. Outside of that time, I’m fully present and love providing companionship, enrichment, play, and plenty of care throughout the day. Fully capable of spending the night as well. I provide more than pet care—I provide peace of mind. I care for your pets, your home, and their routines with genuine attention and respect. I’m observant of animal behavior, attentive to safety, and dependable about following instructions. I take pride in leaving your home clean, cared for, and exactly as I’d hope to find it. While you’re away, you can feel confident knowing everything is in good hands.
“Tiffany was flexible with her time and walked Maximus when it worked best (evening because of the heat). You can tell instantly she’s an animal lover and w would be happy to have her walk Maximus for us again when we go out of town!!”
About: —~> Ask about Farm Animal Care <~— Spending time with animals is a gift. It is a joy to meet new furry friends and give them extra love while their caretakers are out adventuring or working. I love to go for walks on the beach or in the woods. I like to chase sunsets and sunrises. All of which are more enjoyable with sweet creatures. I adore giving affection and opportunities to play for both cats and dogs. I have tended to a variety of different types of animals over the years. Some need ample one on one attention. Which I accommodate by giving them solo walks and separate meal times when requested. Others who loved to be social or had other animal roommates that needed plenty of outdoor time. Elder cats and dogs who needed extra special care, medication, fluids, and special diets. Dog and cat drop ins can make a world of difference for an animal navigating extended time away from their people/person. I give them all focused attention, consideration, bonding interactions and love. Dog walks are a vital key to their health and well being. It takes a village to tend to our critters too! Human and animal. I have many special spots for them to enjoy throughout the Olympic Peninsula. Including safe off leash areas when requested. I have a 7 year old dog, Hoodi. She does not come with me for cat or dog drop ins. Dog walks can include her company or not, always at your discretion. She does join me for overnight pet sitting and loves other dogs. She tends towards submissive and loves to chase and play. She is very mellow indoors and enjoys watching the activity of others. Throughout her life she has helped with pet sits. For her first four years of life she lived with two other dogs. She is a great addition to any pack. I have experience farm sitting which includes plant watering of green house, gardens, field and pasture. As well as goat milking, poultry care, and feeding of cows, horses, goats and pigs. Feel free to message me in booking about pricing for full time/part time farm care. Please note my pet sitting is limited to the Olympic Peninsula and Kitsap County. I pet sit most frequently in Port Townsend, Discovery Bay, Sequim, Blyn, Port Ludlow, Brinnon, Port Gamble, Quilcene, Chimacum, Port Hadlock, Irondale, and Marrowstone Island. Occasionally I will work in Port Angeles, Joyce, Forks, Queets, Poulsbo, Kingston, Bremerton, Bainbridge and Silverdale. I prefer extended house sits and like to build solid bonds with animals. I prioritize repeat clients. I have additional references outside of Rover. As many of my clients book me via word of mouth. This profile gives ease of access to my calendar. I currently work seasonally teaching art based school break kids camps and afterschool programing on the Olympic Peninsula. I spend the rest of my time making art from home and adventuring outdoors. This means I can have extended quality time with your pet(s) for walks and/or outdoor play and indoor care. Summer is my busiest season as a teacher. I have less availability during it. I believe maintaining routines and exercise is important for the physical and emotional well being of all animals. I will strive to uphold this and adapt my schedule as best as I can for your pet(s). I enjoy taking the time to communicate with you about your desires, concerns, texting check ins and sending sweet photos for your peace of mind. As every pet is an important family member. I know them to be kin.

“Our dog Benny had an exceptional stay with Bailey & Kyle! This was our first time leaving him overnight, but after the meet&greet, we were completely at ease. Bailey & Kyle were attentive and responsive, sending multiple pictures to keep us updated. Their spacious fenced yard was also a HUGE plus, giving Benny plenty of room to play. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!”
“Kaylee was amazing! Simba is a senior dog and she made sure he was comfortable the whole duration of his stay, and gave updates every day. I could tell Simba was loved and really enjoyed himself. I would definitely book her again.”
“Charis was the absolute perfect pet sitter for our adopted Pug. Our pup had never been boarded before. And, because she’s used to going with us almost everywhere she experiences significant separation anxiety when she cannot go. And, although she likes her crate we do not crate her at night. She has always slept on our bed with us. Charis understood & did not have any problem allowing our pup to sleep on their bed with them. And, dog loves playing with other dogs. So, the fact that Charis had French & English Bulldogs that were of similar size & temperament made her place the obvious choice. Not to mention the kind & caring atmosphere at her home. It was very obvious that our pup had a great time because she came home exhausted & happy. And, was very relaxed & at peace the next day. We also really appreciated receiving daily updates & photos via text. It really helped to set our minds at ease. We definitely intend to use Charis again. And, we will highly recommend her services to everyone we meet.”
“Kayla and Jacob took amazing care of our energetic lab. The property was great for our dog to play and explore. Their family treated our dog as one of their own, making us feel at ease while we were away for an extended time. Would definitely use again!”
“Alex was fantastic with our dog Onyx. We received regular updates, and Onyx and Alex's dog got along great. They managed integrating Onyx with their dog very well and didn't rush anything allowing them to establish a good relationship. They have a very nice, quiet space and are available with your pet the majority of the time if not constantly. I would definitely recommend Alex to any friend that needed a dog watched.”
“Hank had a wonderful time with Wynona and family! He was taken such good care of and went on lots of walks, socialized with people and pets and Wynona sent photos of my baby throughout his stay. It was the first time I've ever had anyone babysit my puppy and it could not have gone better. Thank you Wynona and family for taking such wonderful care of Hank!”
“James is hands down the best dog sitter I have ever had. He is communicative throughout the whole process, he’s a true animal lover and he actively shows his love to your pet while under his care. I could tell by my pet Apollos behavior that he didn’t want to leave James when I picked him up. They went for hikes, walks and he got tons of snuggles and cuddles. James is not your typical dog sitter, he’s above average in every way and I wish I lived closer to him to use him every week!!!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who friends and family regularly trust to care for their pets while they travel. I have two friendly golden retrievers who truly love other dogs and are gentle, playful, and well-socialized. I’m experienced with a wide range of personalities—from high-energy pups who need lots of playtime to senior dogs who prefer a calm, cozy environment. I treat every dog as if they were my own, paying close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and individual quirks. Your dog will enjoy plenty of love, supervised play, and a safe, comfortable home where they’re never just “watched,” but genuinely cared for. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and a calm, structured environment. I’m available for both short-notice needs and bookings well in advance as you plan your travels. My goal is to be your go-to sitter whenever you need reliable, loving care. I have a large fully fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized golden retrievers who enjoy playing in the backyard by a game of chase and/or fetch. I closely monitor playtime and all interactions, follow each dog’s routine, and can crate, separate, or provide quiet space if needed in order to keep all dogs in my care stress/free, comfortable and happy. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities. This isn’t just a place where you drop your dog for the day or for a trip. It’s a calm, loving environment where dogs feel safe and loved while you’re away. I choose thoughtful exercise and enrichment to keep them happy and give them plenty of opportunities to burn energy and excitement.
“We absolutely love her and her family. I was so worried about leaving my puppy with her as a first time puppy mom but I had nothing to worry about at all. Will definitely be using her weekly.”
“A friend recommended David to me, and I’m so glad they did! My schedule is incredibly hectic, but they were so patient, understanding, and kept me updated with great communication the entire time. I absolutely loved getting all the picture updates. Most importantly, my pup came home so happy and he made some new friends. I highly recommend!”
“Roxana and Nathan did an amazing job taking care of my dog Chase over the weekend! They sent me updates on how he was doing and gave him his medication both days. When I picked Chase up, I could tell he was loved and taken care of extremely well during his stay. I highly recommend Roxana and Nathan for anybody in need of an exceptional dog sitter!”
“Miranda and her family did an amazing job caring for our older dog. She was very attentive to his specific needs, as a senior dog, keeping him on track with his arthritis medication. She provided lots of photos and consistent communication. He came home a happy dog!”
“Top Tier Service !!! Micheal was amazing!!!! Hazel had an accident prior to being boarded he check in on her and made adjustment needed for her stay! He went above and beyond ensuring I she was cared and I didn’t have to worry while she was in his care. I promise you if you pick him as your Rover Sitter you will be at ease knowing your puppers was in a loving environment. I will be booking with him again!!!!”
“Matthew provided excellent care for our dog Basil and frequent updates while we were out of town. When Basil got sick unexpectedly, he took him to the vet twice, made homemade chicken and rice, and helped administer medicine. This was a huge relief to us and his care was above and beyond! We would definitely use Matthew again to board and care for Basil”
“James is in incredible! It’s always hard to leave our big guy but I had such peace of mind with him staying in it’s James. He was extremely communicative, sent me all the photos, reached out with any questions he had, and Toby had an absolute BLAST! I will absolutely 💯 be using his services again. And so should anyone else!”
“This was our first time using this service and our first time leaving our pet with someone other than friends or family. Jesse made us feel comfortable and took such great care of our Moogie! Will definitely be using his services again in the future!”
