“Mike was a true gift during a very emotional and busy time. With family in town for my father’s funeral, I needed a peaceful place for my dog Bo to stay for a few days. Mike and Shari welcomed him into their beautiful, woodsy home—with picture windows that Bo immediately wanted to look out, and a calm, comforting vibe. When I picked him up at the end of his stay Bo was a relaxed and happy dog! Thanks guys!”
“Scooby was treated like a king! Kayla’s kids always made sure he was nice and comfortable. Her husband took him on runs and he was made to feel like part of the family. We will definitely use Kayla again.”

Alexa was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and I would absolutely use her again in the future. Your pets would be lucky to stay with her!”
“Jassem & Josh are wonderful people and dog sitters! :) Definitely the best dog sitters we have used on Rover. Our pup had a great time and warmed up to them easily. They made the process seamless and communicated everyday by providing us with lovely updates and pictures of our dog. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was in good hands, while she was clearly also having a good time as well! We will definitely book them again!”
“Julie and Cyrus bonded instantly. Her attention to his personality and behavior made for a wonderful weekend. I will absolutely book Cyrus with Julie again!”

“Zoey had a great time with Kevin and Kandice. Kevin shared regular updates with pictures and managed her needs as per our instructions. Zoey will be happy to spend time with them again.”
“Alisha took good care of our dog. He played with her dogs and kids. Gave him a bone chew and was kind to give him a bed since we forgot his. Will use her again for our dog!”
“Bailey, Kyle and their pets are wonderful! Our dog had a blast running around their yard, meeting new buddies (their 2 dogs) and exploring a new part of town. It felt like he had so much fun he didn't want to come home and I can tell he is missing playing with other dogs now that he is home. We're excited to have Bailey and Kyle in our network when needed as they obviously understand pet behaviors and exceeded our expectations!”
“We always know our boy Zuko will be in the best hands when we leave him with Kirsten and her family. 💙 He has so much fun at their house and comes home nice and tired! 😄 I love that Kirsten sends pictures and updates and it’s so nice to know that he is getting lots of love and attention. 😊”
“Donna was perfect for Cal as she was familiar with dogs having Diabetes and on Insulin. From her pictures she sent to us, he was very comfortable being in her home. I will certainly be calling on Donna in the future. Thanks Donna”

“Above and beyond care! I don’t normally leave reviews with anything but I really wanted to in this case. I have an automatic water fountain which is normally filled with enough to last them a week if it didn’t get topped off. Erica was concerned they were drinking more than what could get them through between her visits so she put an extra water bowl down for them in addition to refilling the fountain. That is going above and beyond and showed real compassion for my kitties and that is something I really value. She went out of her way to ensure they wouldn’t need anything while I was away. And she was so very kind to bring in my packages left on my doorstep. I didn’t ask her to but she saved them from the rain and took them in for me. KitKat my very shy kitty even liked her so she has my seal of approval! I will ABSOLUTELY go to her again if I need someone to watch my fur babies!!!!! Trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate!”
About: I am new to the world of cats but determined to make your loved one my best friend! I have a few neighborhood cats that I feed and am always looking for more experiences with pets of any kind.
“Mary checked on our two cats while we were out of town. She did great! We appreciated all her updates and pictures. We will definitely reach out to her again for future pet sitting needs!”
“Amanda did a great job with our two cats! She even got our scaredy cat to come up to her and say hi. Loved seeing pictures of our cats while we were away. She is a great pet sitter and we will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Kimberly is a fantastic cat sitter! Highly dependable and communicative, she enables me to have a peace of mind while I travel for work knowing that my cat (Xander) is in excellent care”
“Codi was so incredibly thoughtful and proactive! My cat Felix did so well with her. He is such sweet introvert and he actually came out while she was there. Complete shock he did that but so happy he felt so comfortable. Thank you for everything Codi!!!”
“Anna took incredible care of my cat while I was away. She was patient while he warmed up, hung out with him, and made sure he had food/water/clean litter box. So grateful to have found her!”
“Deanna was incredible. Our cats are socially opposite in that one loves everyone, and one hides from anyone new. Since they both take pills my wife and know how challenging it can be to get the cat that hides to get his pills. Deanna though was up to the challenge and in a short period of time had the shy cat cozying up to her and taking his pills. We will definitely request Deanna in the future!”
“Princess help me out tremendously for my 30 day trip abroad. Did two weekly visits and followed the -admittedly- overly specific instructions required for all of my cats including their food, litter-robot, and more. Made my trip so much less stressful!”
About: I have been living with and caring for cats of varying ages since I was a small child. Cats truly delight me! They are mysterious souls who each have a unique personality. I can’t wait to get to know your furry friends!
“Natascha took great care of our two Maine Coon cats, Remy & Ratchet! Her dedication is truly appreciated. The feeding routine was followed precisely, ensuring they ate well while we were away. The daily photo updates showing them lounging, eating & engaging with Natascha were wonderful and reassured us completely. The prompt communication made us feel so comfortable leaving them in her care. Booking again would not be a hesitation and we highly recommend this sitter to anyone seeking a truly caring and professional cat sitter.”
About: I had cats all growing up and loved them dearly. I rescued a senior cat as an adult, and gave him a loving home. I have often been asked to take care of my neighbor’s cats and they have always been pleased with my responsive care. I can’t wait to take care of your sweet kitty!
“Meghan was able to board our recently adopted kitty on short notice. She took extra special care of him and really made him feel a part of her home. Our kitty got plenty of love and companionship in addition to stellar care while he was with Meghan. Would highly recommend!!”
“Nancy is terrific. She is wonderful with our dogs (they love her). She is reliable and provides us with peace of mind knowing our pups are on good hands.”

“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😊”
“My dogs had a blast! They have a nice big yard to run around in. My dog Sophie even seemed happy! She is usually very scared and nervous. They send photos of the dogs during day . Anna is very nice. I would recommend her .”
“Wow! Cathleen is SO good! Mooch had a very successful first doggie day care and we will have him back. Cathleen is calm, loving and responsible. She is also very in tune with Mooch and his surroundings which contributed to his successful time away. Mooch is a Covid puppy with separation anxiety but you couldn’t tell with his time at Cathleen’s. She is a pro and a great choice ❤️”
“My dog always got so excited when it was time to drop her off for daycare in the morning and was always tired in the evening when it was time for pickup! She always seemed to have a great time. Couldn't recommend enough!”
About: I have four years of experience working in a dog daycare, in addition to caring for family and friends' pets since I was nine years old. My lifelong affinity for animals drives my dedication to their well-being and happiness. Over the years, I've developed a strong understanding of the importance of patience and empathy in providing exceptional care for pets. I'm working part time but, I'm overall fairly available on a day to day basis to help out with pet care needs and occasional overnight boarding. I am working on creating a daycare space in the basement to be able to provide boarding and day time care for the community (: I also can do basic baths & nail trims. My home is 10acres with a dog run, access to water, shelter and many sniffing spots to explore. Pups would stay in my room with me over night with frequent potty breaks during the day and play time in the run. I ensure that all animals are well fed, hydrated, and stimulated if they need to get rid of some energy. I love going on hikes and to water sources. I'm capable of more intense medical care such as medicine administration, wound care, etc.
“My pupper had a great day and enjoyed fun with her new friends. Communications with Kirsten were smooth and clear and made me feel comfortable as this was my first time using Rover.”
“Amanda is amazing! She was so kind to watch my 13 week old golden retriever puppy Millie. Millie played all day! She was able to meet a new friend and run and dig to her hearts content. Amanda was so sweet to send me pictures and videos so I was not anxious during her first day away.”
“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.”
“We have a newly adopted senior dog with severe separation anxiety after the loss of his previous owner. Leaving him home alone proved unsuccessful. In searching for a solution we found Jennifer and Alex. We are so relieved Jennifer and Alex welcomed Jett into their home and provided a safe, loving, fun place. He socializes with their pets beautifully and we get to enjoy the texted photos showing him happy and at ease with their three dog pack.”
About: I have had pets my entire life dogs, cats, rabbits and horses. I am comfortable around every type of dog, however prefer to sit smaller dogs up to 25lbs. I have a mini dachshund who is 16 years old, who misses having friends around. I am familiar with puppies through seniors. I do work from home 4 days a week. Currently I have an unfenced yard, I use retractable leashes to maintain safety when outside. Your fur-baby will get daily walks and plenty of love. I work from home 4 days a week, giving me the opportunity to give your pet plenty of attention in an adults only home with one dog for companion time. We do daily walks around the neighborhood, in a wooded area or at Manchester state park. I don’t currently have a fenced yard, outdoor time will be on retractable leashes for potty breaks, time on the fenced deck, and daily walks using your pets regular leash. Should pets need to be left home unattended I will ensure everyone is in safe, separate locations close enough companionship but not mischief. Safety and well cared for is my goal.
“Rachael is the absolute best! Quick to respond and keep me updated on my doggo with pics. It’s my first time using Rover and she made the experience a great one. She came in as a lifesaver when i needed a super last min sitter. She took care of my Luna like it was her own. Super recommend ❤️”
“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”
“Jen was great with our dog Lucy! She was very patient as Lucy was a bit nervous and got settled in. But she took her on a lovely beach walk and Lucy really enjoyed that. Afterwards, Lucy got playtime with Jen's dog Tillie and a nice snooze in the sun. Jen kept us apprised of all the happenings with kits of photos. We will definitely book with her again.”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was a teenager, and they've always held a special place in my life. I had my beloved dog, Chico, for 16 wonderful years before we eventually lost him to old age and health issues. Although he was small, he had a HUGE personality and was basically my sidekick. He went just about everywhere with me: dog parks, camping, hiking, beach adventures, road trips, and yes, probably more dog-friendly pubs than the average dog. 😂 At the beach, his absolute favorite activity was sniffing every single piece of driftwood like it contained critically important information. And after all those adventures, he was happiest snuggled up next to me under approximately 47 blankets. Caring for Chico through every stage of his life, from an energetic young pup all the way through his senior years, gave me firsthand experience with how much a dog's needs can change over time and how much love, patience, and companionship they deserve along the way. Over the years, I've also become the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone they trust with their dogs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pup's personality because, as any dog person knows, they ALL have one! After 16 years with Chico, our home definitely feels a little too quiet without a dog in it. Getting to welcome other people's pups into our lives and give them some of that love we've been missing is something my whole family really enjoys. So while you're away, there's a pretty good chance your dog will be getting spoiled with attention over here. 🐾 My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to spend with the pups in my care! My main daily routine is getting my kids to and from the bus stop, which is close enough that we can easily walk when needed. I'm home throughout most of the day, so pets in my care won't be spending long stretches of time alone. I have plenty of flexibility for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-ins, and I'm excited to fill some of that extra time caring for new furry friends! Your pet's safety and comfort will always come first! In my home, pups are welcomed into our everyday family life and treated like one of our own. We have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where they can safely get outside throughout the day. We currently don't have any pets of our own after losing our beloved dog, Chico, after 16 wonderful years together. We definitely miss having a pup around and love getting the chance to give our furry guests all that extra love and attention while they're here! I'll follow your dog's feeding, medication, potty, sleeping, and other care instructions as closely as possible. I also understand that some dogs settle in immediately while others need a little extra time and space to feel comfortable, and I'm happy to follow their lead. When caring for pets in your home, I'll treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care I'd want someone to show mine. I'll follow your instructions closely and always make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. And of course, expect photo updates! I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pup is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“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!”

Expect a luxury stay including daily walks through Howe Park, unlimited potty breaks in our fenced/secure yard, and constant companionship. We are happy to accommodate special needs, from medication schedules to specific feeding routines. Your pup will enjoy socializing with our two gentle residents—a well-behaved Pomsky and a Corgi—who love making new friends. At our home, your dog isn't just 'watched'; they are truly pampered. I am semi-retired engineer and have plenty of time to dote on your fur babies. We go for walks daily and have 1/2 acre fenced yard for them to roam. We have a 1/2 fenced yard located on Clover Valley Road and your puppies are welcome to explore everywhere, inside and out. As well we add routine play, training and cuddles to the daily practices.
“Valerie was wonderful with Winnie and we were comfortable leaving her there knowing she was in good hands. It was Winnie’s first time away from home at 13 weeks and we were so glad she did well. Valerie was fantastic!”

“Melody and Rufus enjoyed their time with Anne. Anne took great care of them both and we will be having her take them both for walks weekly. Thank you for being so great with our dogs💕”
“Emma was great with Luke! She took him on some of his favorite walks in the short time she got to watch him. She was punctual on her visits and remembered to lock our doors after she leaves 😉. With the normal app glitches, which affected us both, aside - it was a good experience and we would seek her out again.”

“Fantastic walker. She is so kind and you can tell just how much she loves animals. As it’s been getting hotter, she has made sure to check pavement temperatures so it isn’t too hot and is so flexible with making the walks earlier when it’s cooler. Really impressed and absolutely fantastic!”

About: Experienced and Flexible Pet Sitter Ready to Pamper Your Pets! 🐶🐱 Hello there! I've been caring for pets practically since I learned to walk. Growing up, I assisted in looking after our beloved pets—a pit bull, fox terrier, and a cat—and they've been my inspiration and joy. They taught me valuable life skills like patience, attentiveness, and even training techniques! Spending quality time with furry friends has always been a cherished hobby of mine. Currently, I'm balancing my studies with a part-time job, which makes me flexible. With a heads-up, I can easily organize my schedule to cater to your pet's needs. I'm mobile and can travel as necessary to ensure your pet's comfort and happiness. Rest assured, your pets will receive the utmost care and attention. Looking forward to meeting your furry companions! I make pet care a daily priority by scheduling specific times for feeding, and exercise throughout the day. I also set aside longer periods in the morning and evening for walks and playtime. Weekly, I arrange training sessions, vet visits, and any other necessary care to keep the pets happy and healthy. (Upon request) When caring for pets in my home, they are in a welcoming environment where they're treated like family. I provide a cozy space, playtime, regular feeding schedules, and, for dogs, access to a spacious backyard. In clients' homes, I ensure to follow their instructions precisely: maintaining routines, providing necessary care, and keeping the environment clean and comfortable for the pets. I adapt my care based on the specific needs and preferences of each pet and owner, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience in both settings.
About: I have been taking care of others pets for about 5 years now and have had family pets of the furry, feathered, and scaly varieties my entire life.

I am able and willing to stay as many days as you need in your home any time of the week with your pets. I am very flexible with my schedule so I can extend stays if needed. I plan on getting a regularly scheduled job after summer so my schedule will be less open but after communication I can let you know if I am available or not. My basic pet care will include bringing pets to the bathroom about every 2-4 hours, feeding pets required amount told by owners, playing with pets multiple times a day, cleaning up after pets, and any other special care instructions given by owners. Care may vary depending on the type of animal.

About: I saved my Chihuahua, Thistle, from a kill shelter when he was 18 months old. I nursed him through being hit by a car, helped him gain weight from being underfed, and encouraged him to be a confident dog (he was extremely anxious) through training and gentle love and care. From this, I learned how to administer medications to animals, so I can provide this kind of care to your fur babies also. My Chihuahua is now a senior dog, but you wouldn’t be able to tell with how active he is! He gets lots of walks and play time, and he loves it best when I get on the floor with him. I am comfortable getting to know your pet and giving them the level and type of attention that they need! I looked into breed specific care, and Chihuahuas have weaker joints, so I put him on a joint supplement right when I got him, and it has really made a difference in his mobility and quality of life. It’s important to administer care to animals in the specific way that is best for them! I would show the same consideration to your pet. That includes factoring in their temperament. As my dog has gotten older, his needs around personal boundaries have increased, so I make sure to check in with him before petting him, picking him up, or otherwise touching him, and I do not touch him if he gives me a no, except in an actual emergency (i.e. the animal could be hurt or hurt someone else if I do not touch them). Instead, I do something else and check in again later. This allows me to establish a real felt sense of safety and trust with your pet. I also had cats all growing up, and have a real affection for them, as well as a clear understanding of their boundaries. I would be honored to care for your pet family just as I care for mine! I currently freelance, which means I have the freedom to take care of your pets whenever you need me to. I can be flexible to your needs. As my dog is a people’s dog and not a dog’s dog, I offer my services in your home. I can walk your pet, do a drop-in visit, or housesit! I will follow your instructions to the letter, and ask about any specific or special care your pet might need.

“Mike was a true gift during a very emotional and busy time. With family in town for my father’s funeral, I needed a peaceful place for my dog Bo to stay for a few days. Mike and Shari welcomed him into their beautiful, woodsy home—with picture windows that Bo immediately wanted to look out, and a calm, comforting vibe. When I picked him up at the end of his stay Bo was a relaxed and happy dog! Thanks guys!”
“Scooby was treated like a king! Kayla’s kids always made sure he was nice and comfortable. Her husband took him on runs and he was made to feel like part of the family. We will definitely use Kayla again.”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“Wynona and Jeremy were fantastic! So friendly and communicative! They loved Chewie and made sure he was well cared for and happy! Thank you for taking such good care of him!”
“Alexa was a fantastic care taker to my two border collies. I got frequent pictures and videos and it was clear my dogs settled in early! They were right at home. Alexa was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and I would absolutely use her again in the future. Your pets would be lucky to stay with her!”
“Jassem & Josh are wonderful people and dog sitters! :) Definitely the best dog sitters we have used on Rover. Our pup had a great time and warmed up to them easily. They made the process seamless and communicated everyday by providing us with lovely updates and pictures of our dog. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was in good hands, while she was clearly also having a good time as well! We will definitely book them again!”
“Really appreciate how attentive and caring Miranda was after our dog had a medical emergency. She communicated with us often and provided lots of photos and videos! It put our minds at ease knowing he was being so well taken care of.”
“Steven and Rachel took great care of Daisy! They sent us plenty of updates and responded quickly to any questions. Daisy had a blast playing with their Daisy and they took care of her additional health requests. We’ll definitely ask them to watch her again the next time we go on a trip :)”
“Bailey, Kyle and their pets are wonderful! Our dog had a blast running around their yard, meeting new buddies (their 2 dogs) and exploring a new part of town. It felt like he had so much fun he didn't want to come home and I can tell he is missing playing with other dogs now that he is home. We're excited to have Bailey and Kyle in our network when needed as they obviously understand pet behaviors and exceeded our expectations!”
“We always know our boy Zuko will be in the best hands when we leave him with Kirsten and her family. 💙 He has so much fun at their house and comes home nice and tired! 😄 I love that Kirsten sends pictures and updates and it’s so nice to know that he is getting lots of love and attention. 😊”
“We decided to do a trial run since this would be the first time the pups were away and I didn't know how they would reacted. Karen was very nice and understanding to the situation. During the meet and greet, she interacted with them and was very informative. I appreciated the updates and pictures she sent while they were with her.”
“David and his family are wonderful! Super attentive and communicative. Very caring and considerate about taking care of my dog, paying a ton of attention to his individual needs and personality. Practices good training habits and gave the pups a ton of exercise and play time. Will absolutely book again!”
“I’m so glad to have left Teddy at Kathy’s care. From the initial meeting, I knew Teddy would be in good hands. Kathy is very thorough. She asked questions, made sure Teddy would be comfortable, and she really put my mind at ease while I was away. The updates were comforting and Teddy came home tired and happy. I will definitely book again and I highly recommend Kathy to anyone who’s looking to leave your fur baby in great hands.”
“Charis was so great ! Super flexible and put up w our older needy dog! 😂 her house is a great space. It was comforting to know Denali was being well taken care of!”
“My Luna baby is not great with new people but Kristin made her feel so at home!! She is truly amazing and eased all our worries!! If I could give 10 starts I would”
“I can count the number of people our skittish dog allows to take his harness on/off on one hand. Somehow Liz has become one, and in record time! She is wonderful with anxious dogs! Can’t recommend her highly enough!”
About: ⭐️ Get $20 off on your first booking with me! Use my code AISTEM74203. Hello! My name is Aistė (ice-tah) (she/her) and I am a small business owner and active dog walker in Capitol Hill. I'm a proud dog mom to Leila, a Blue Heeler/Jack Russel Terrier rescue. Leila and I are “Rock Star” certified by Flying Colors Canine Academy, a professional dog training school based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We enjoy exploring every neighborhood of Seattle by bike or foot and hiking trails on the weekends. I have taken care of various dogs, cats, and small animals of all abilities, special needs, shapes, and sizes for over 20 years. I enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality, training together (if needed), and going on fun adventures locally. I am currently accepting dogs, cats, and other animals for boarding and house sitting services. My schedule is flexible throughout the week as I work remotely part-time from home in Capitol Hill. I am now accepting new clients for boarding and house sitting. I live near Volunteer Park and would love to help your pet get their energy out with long walks at local parks and playtime at your home or in my fenced backyard. I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small animals in various environments and feel deeply in tune to their needs. For house sitting, I would like to meet in person or virtually to discuss your pet's needs so all questions and concerns are addressed.
