“Aarika was absolutely amazing!! She was flexible and communicative through our entire last-minute planning process. She sent daily progress updates and photos of our sweet boy smiling and having so much fun (and getting lots of pats, which he loves!!) We will absolutely be booking with Aarika again! :)”
“Susan has an excellent way with my dogs. She was gentle and calming, and helped my timid one feel safe and comfortable. I feel quite confident my pups are in good hands with her!”
“Kris was so helpful! All questions I asked were answered promptly and clearly, and while Aniol my nearly two year old dog stayed at Kris's family home, he seemed to have a safe and comfortable experience! I was so grateful for updates in words and pictures! We will certainly bring Aniol to Kris's again.”
“Shannon was GREAT! She was kind, and great communication. Took great care of our dog. She sent so many pics and updates. You can tell she’s a huge dog lover, our dog was immediately attached to her. Will definitely ask her to watch our doggo again, thanks shannon 😀”
“Sofia was great! She sent us photos all the time of our dog which we loved seeing. It seemed like Milo had a great time and we really appreciate Sofia watching him over the holidays.”
“Alex did a great job watching Georgie. She was very good with she, attentive, and reliable. Georgie was well cared for and everything went smoothly. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a good pet sitter.”
“Lenore was absolutely fantastic—better than I could’ve hoped for, especially since it was a last-minute booking for 3 nights! She went above and beyond with our dog: videos, photos, long walks, feeding him special food since he wasn’t feeling his best, and just taking really good care of him. What stood out to me was how much time she genuinely spent with our dog. You can tell when someone’s just going through the motions, but not Lenore. She was present, communicative, and you could feel that she really cared. Her own dog—a 2-year-old lab-shepherd mix—played so well with ours. They got along like old pals, which was a huge relief during their time together. I’d trust Lenore again in a heartbeat.”
“Kendra was thoroughly communicative and kept our dog, Bromley, very happy on walks and adventures during her week-long stay. We had a great experience and would gladly choose Kendra again!”
“We had an excellent experience with Alexis and her dog boarding! We picked up our husky and he started sleeping standing up, he was so tired! My boyfriend and I greatly appreciated the daily updates, which included pictures/videos and information about what has been going on with our dog and others as well! We will for sure being using this app and Alexis, hopefully again!”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs. I have two dogs back home and one dog here in Canada. I walk and run with them three times a day. I also feed them and play with them using toys. I took a lot of lessons after having my dogs, including their behaviors, the best ways to take care of them and the symptoms of them being sick. I love animals so much that my mom said I couldn’t sleep without my dog staying under my bed. I have tons of treats and toys at home. I hope to have the chance to help you look after your dogs and make both of you happy :) Looking forward to meet your babies! Walk 2-3 times at least a day, can adjust schedule based on requests. My partner has his own photo studio in Richmond that he can bring dogs to the space and engage with them during the day if you are up for it. Fenced yard, crate available, can feed raw, freeze dried, or kibble/can. Our own dog is eating raw and I have extensive knowledge about this diet!
“Amazing care as usual!!! I feel so comfortable leaving my pup with Michelle. I know she will be well taken care of and have the best time! She always gets so excited when she gets dropped off for a visit.”
“Cynthia did a great job watching Sparky. She took him the dog park nearby where Sparky and her dog played and had a great time. They also ran around and played a lot in her fenced backyard. She also sent a lot of videos of Sparky, which was nice.”
“There was very good communication from the beginning of the book till the end. I appreciated the updates with pictures of my dog. I would definitely rebook with Kimberly in the future. Service was 10/10.”
“Adrienne and her two boys provided the kind of love and care I want my dog to receive when we are away. Adrienne is flexible, responsible and a delight to work with and accommodated us upon our return due to a delay in air travel. I received many photos and was immediately assured that our sweetie was in a great place. Thank you Adrienne ( and your sons) for being so darn nice.”
“Daniel was absolutely phenomenal with my special needs pup and our crazy travel plans. Not only did he go above and beyond by accommodating our flight times, but he also dropped off our pup when we didn’t feel comfortable driving in the snow and ice. Arlo came home happy and exhausted - we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thanks Daniel!”

“I've already written a review, but wanted to write another because Jewel really is fantastic. One of our cats is on medication and getting him to take it can be a challenge, even for us! Jewel tried everything and found a way to get him to eat them, no problem! We are so thankful! Always recommending :)”
“Flannery is always our go to when we have to travel. She takes amazing care of our kitties (and they absolutely love her!) and she’s incredibly consistent with updates, pictures, and communication. We can’t think of anyone we trust more to watch our pets when we’re away! Thank you!!!”
“Sophia was very attentive to the needs of my anxious and senior pups. She is great with communication, in time visits and sharing updates with photos. I highly recommend Sophia. Your pets will be in great hands!”
“Lia is the best cat sitter I’ve ever had. She sent daily updates with multiple pictures and I knew my cat was in great hands. I’ll definitely book with Lia again, she’s the best!!”
“Arianna helped look after our cat, Wayne, for about a week on a pretty last minute request and we are so grateful! She did a great job, and was super communicative. We would definitely recommend her for petsitting!”
“Braelyn was absolutely fantastic! Not only did she take care of my two cats in the way that I asked, but she went above and beyond to get to know each cat and what they like. Each visit, she catered to their likes and dislikes to make sure they were happy and got some meaningful enrichment and interaction. I highly recommend Braelyn and will be using her services for my future pet sitting needs!”
“Lizz was very patient, kind & thorough with the care of our Elder Miss Belle, 18. During our recent heat event the photos reassured us that she was doing well. Lizz had recommended a “cooling pad” for her sleep area. Belle took to it right away. Again, the photos showed she was faring well in the heat. Thanks. Karen & Tom”
“Emerson is the best :) so glad we met her. It’s so comforting to know our kitties are in such good hands when we’re out of town. Couldn’t recommend her more, she’s a superstar!!”
“Kaila did an amazing job taking care of my cats. She made sure that they had everything that they needed and helped keep them happy while I was away. She was communicative, great at following the care instructions left for her, and sent plenty of pictures. Thank you so much, Kaila!”
“Lindsay took away all my stress and anxiety about leaving my cat while away! Great communication and followed my instructions perfectly. Would highly recommend:)”
“Madison was so easy to communicate with and my kitties treated me just the same after being gone for four days as they would if I'd been gone for four hours which is exactly what I want! Thanks, Madison!”
“Sophia did a few check ins for our cats when we were gone over night. She took great care of them and they were happy and content when we got home! We’re looking forward to her staying for a longer trip soon.”
“Michael was amazing! He was great with our cats and was so easy to work with! He also went above and beyond with bringing in our packages as well and offered to grab our mail for us. Thanks Michael! We will definitely book with you again!”
“Madalyn was AMAZING! She boarded my 6 month old kitten for 10 days and he loved it! Of course he was a bit shy at first, but Madalyn let him explore at his own pace until he was comfortable. She was very accommodating and made sure her apartment was cat friendly. She sent pictures and videos everyday… my kitty looked so happy and loved in all of them! I felt at ease being away from my cat because I knew he was in good hands. I will definitely have Madalyn watch Sesame in the future. Thank you Madalyn??”

“Annie was super responsive when we were searching for a dog sitter for the day and made herself available at the very last minute. Our dog seemed to have a great time and was exhausted and happy when we picked him up in the evening.”
“Morgan was simply the best! We couldn’t have asked for a more caring, communicative and flexible first Rover sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable having Henry stay with her and her adorable dog Baby. She sent frequent pictures of their activities and ensured Henry got exercise, rest, healthy snacks and attention. We were only visiting Bellingham but wish she lived in our town - we would have her hang with Henry all the time! Cannot recommend enough. Thank you Morgan!”
“I had a fantastic experience with Alex as Rune’s dog sitter. Rune had a great time playing with her dogs, and she has a lovely space that’s perfect for hosting. Alex was extremely responsive, communicative, and took great photos throughout. Overall, I felt very reassured and happy having Rune stay with her.”
“Leslie is super professional, loves the puppies, and is very accommodating. I knew my buddy was in great hands when I left for the day…and her dogs made it fun for him to spend the day there. I HIGHLY recommend Leslie!”
“Tami was wonderful! She was open to watching our Trudy for a one-time event while we were enjoyed a full day of non-doggy play while on vacation. Trudy had a BLAST! She came home exhausted. Apparently, she had a grand time in Tami's backyard with her Spaniel. She came back spoiled, but not rotten. Tami is an asset. I wish she lived near me. I would not hesitate to have her watch our Trudy for a short or extended period of time.”
“My dog had a wonderful time with Addison! He was friendly and communicative during pickup, drop off, and during care. When I picked up I could tell Puck had a wonderful time and Addison shared fun stories about his day. I'm planning to use him as a regular sitter for my pup!”
“Holly and her family took such great care of our dog, Dottie. I couldn't be happier with the process - from the first message to the meet & greet to the doggy day care date. Communication was clear and easy, and I felt that safety and care were well prioritized. Having that reassurance that your dog is in good hands is honestly priceless. The fact she had a great time with Archie is the cherry on top. Dottie is already passed out sleeping (on the couch - sorry!) from all the fun she had. Will definitely book again. Also thank you for all the photos during the visit! They were very comforting for this anxious dog mom.”
“Jennifer was great! Very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Coast had such a great time hanging out with other dogs and had plenty of room to run and play”
About: What sets me apart is the way I approach every dog as an individual. I understand that every pet has their own personality, comfort level, routine, and preferences, so I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to care. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or happiest relaxing with someone nearby, I take the time to earn their trust and provide care that helps them feel secure and understood. As a lifelong dog owner, I've learned that patience, consistency, and attentiveness make all the difference. I'm observant, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether we're playing in the yard, going for a walk, practicing good manners, or simply relaxing together. My goal is to provide the same level of care, respect, and affection that I would want for my own dog, giving both pets and their owners peace of mind. Having raised and trained two dogs throughout my life, I'm comfortable caring for dogs at every stage of life. I understand that puppies require patience, structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement as they learn routines, build confidence, and burn off their energy. I'm happy to reinforce house-training, practice basic commands, maintain feeding schedules, and provide plenty of supervised play and enrichment. I'm equally experienced with senior dogs. My own dog, Peggy, is a sweet 14-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer–Retriever mix, so I'm familiar with the extra patience, gentleness, and attentiveness older dogs often need. Whether that means slower walks, administering routines as directed, monitoring mobility, or simply providing a calm, comfortable environment, I adapt my care to each dog's individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, supported, and loved while giving owners confidence that their companion is receiving thoughtful, reliable, and personalized care. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine. I'm currently on summer break while preparing for student teaching, and I work remotely, which allows me to be home and available throughout the day. Each morning starts with feeding our dog and making sure the doggy door is open so they can comfortably go outside as needed. Throughout the day, I monitor, play with, and walk our dog based on their needs, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. My weekly routine is much the same. Unless I have plans made in advance, I spend most of my time working from home and caring for our dog, with only occasional errands. My partner works during the day and is home around 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, with weekends off, providing additional support. When student teaching begins, my weekday schedule will change somewhat, but I will continue to prioritize dependable, attentive care and ensure pets receive the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide attentive, patient, and compassionate care while taking the time to understand each dog's unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or taking them on walks, I prioritize positive interactions, close supervision, and clear communication with owners so everyone feels comfortable and confident. My home is a one-bedroom house with a large, fully fenced yard that offers plenty of space for dogs to explore, play, and exercise safely. The yard can be divided into a smaller enclosed area or opened to provide access to the entire lot, allowing me to adjust the space based on each dog's energy level, comfort, and the day's circumstances. All perimeter gates are equipped with secure locking mechanisms to help prevent dogs from opening them, providing an extra layer of safety. If your dog is crate-trained or requires a crate for their routine, I have space to comfortably accommodate their crate and am happy to crate them as directed. I also share my home with my 14-year-old dog, who has a calm, gentle temperament and is friendly with other dogs. Their quiet nature helps create a relaxed environment for visiting pets. For walks, I use secure leash handling, stay aware of our surroundings, and tailor each walk to your dog's age, personality, and energy level. Whether your dog enjoys an active outing or a slower-paced stroll, they'll receive patient, reliable, and personalized care with their safety and well-being always coming first.
“Alexis is great with our pup and easy to work with. Our dog Sprocket always comes home socialized, happy and tired and we have peace of mind that he is in good hands.”

“So much love given to our pup during her daycare stay this last weekend. Thank you Olga and family for taking such good care of our dog for the day! She loved being able to run around in the yard & play fetch. She came home very happy and tired. We would absolutely recommend Olga!”
“Kendra was amazing! She is very kind and loving with pets. I received pictures of Princess throughout the day and Princess looked so happy! If you live in the Palm Springs area, or are visiting (like I was), and need someone to look after your fur babies, I would 100% recommend her. ❤️ Thank you, Kendra!”
“Chelsey is amazing with my pup, Daisy :) her two senior dogs are a great match - Daisy is a younger dog, but she has some physical issues and I prefer a calm environment for her. They get along really well, too! Daisy loves her - she cuddled up with her to say "goodbye" when I picked her up, and I'd never seen that before! I am so thankful for Chelsey, and we love doggy daycare twice a week with her!”

“My dog Arthur is always so excited to see Stone! They have developed a trusting bond which I really appreciate since Arthur is an anxious lad, and he's always nice and tired when they get done!”
“My dog loves walking with Kallie! Kallie gives very detailed reports about walking my dog and takes great pictures. She is super attentive to my dogs needs and very respectful about how I want my dog to be walked!”
“Audrey looks out for the details when caring for our dogs. Amid freezing weather, we forgot to leave out the dog’s winter jackets, but she knew where they were in the garage and added them for the walk.”
“Rebekah went above and beyond for our pups. We left the day before a huge snow storm and she walked to our place to make sure our dogs were taken care of. Would highly recommend! Thank you!”
“Sophia stepped up on short notice and help get my sweet Topo some stellar exercise while I was away. Will reach out for support again! Choose Sophia for your doggy support needs :)”
About: I have grown up in a house full of cats and dogs, so I am no stranger to the late night zoomies or hairball. I have dog and cat sit my whole life and still love it! I am currently unemployed and doing side hustles, I have the time to dog walk, cat sit and stay the night if needed! I would love to take care of your pets! I live in a spacious apartment but prefer to pet sit at the clients place. I have one cat at home and have raised her since she kitten.
“Pups were happy and tired! Thank you for safeguarding the recycling. Griffey was diagnosed with a hygroma, and after antibiotics is doing a lot better and hair is growing back.”
“Autumn took great care of our dog Jasper. She has taken him for two walks now, and he’s come back happy every time. Autumn is also easy to communicate with, and very professional. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Lizz saved the day for us! We had a family emergency come up and had to leave town last minute. Lizz was able to cover all the walks in our absence. She gave us great feedback and won over our shy pup. Highly recommend.”
“Morgan is everything one could want in a dog sitter! She is responsible, reliable, communicative, kind, and loves animals. While I was away I knew my pet was in the very best hands! Thank you, Morgan!”
“We feel super lucky to have found Lindsay! She is obviously a dog person and is very attentive to and understanding of our dogs “quirks”. Lindsay was punctual and has had great communication. Apart from that, she’s very kind and a pleasure to chat with. We’ll definitely keep rebooking!”
“Great to meet Katarina and have us meet our pups! Looking forward to having her hang out with the dogs for a night soon! She was so helpful last minute, thoughtful, and asked all the right questions!”
About: I have over 5 years of dog walking experience and have been a pet lover my whole life! I look forward to helping your animals thrive and love life even more!! I have a very flexible schedule but between 7:30 am and 7 pm work best for me to watch over and care for your pets! Don’t feel afraid to reach out for scheduling outside of my preferred times though! I have an extremely friendly shepsky who would always love to join me while walking your dog(s) or taking care of your cats and/or dogs but he is 100lbs so I will always ask if that’s conducive with your wants and needs!
“Michael has been great with walking our dog mid-day during the week! It is great knowing our dog gets some exercise and companionship when we are at work. Plus, we come home to a happy, tired dog. Thank you!!”
“Hannah went out of her way to meet us the day prior to booking for a meet and greet and was on time for the scheduled booking. She went above and beyond to care for my pup. I would highly recommend!”
About: Growing up on a large property in central Washington, my family enjoyed many pets. From a young age, I've cared for cats and dogs. Though my Sundays were full of many chores-- including emptying litter boxes, walking the dogs, and scooping though the yard--I was happy to do them. I graduated from WWU this spring, and am only working part-time during the summer and school year. So, I will have plenty of time to care for and pamper your pets. I don't have any pets in my current home, but come equipped with friendly roommates and space in my neighborhood to explore with your pet when needed.
