“Kris was AMAZING. She was so flexible, so knowledgeable and caring, and I could tell that she took the best care of Cookie! Cookie came home happily exhausted from playing at her home, and we will absolutely book a stay with Kris next time we’re in the area!!”
“She took good care of Hubble. Kept me in the loop. She’s very nice, easy fast drop off and pick up. It was nice not needing to haul his crate. Just brought his food and leash.”
“Leslie was very responsive and my mini-Aussie, Nelly came back to me after her three day stay with no issues! Leslie has an ideal location and environment for excellent doggie care! I would not hesitate to use her services again!”
“Here’s the translation: It was Chai’s first time staying away from home, and we treated it as a trial run for a longer stay. Minerva was very open and kind about all our worries and questions, and she made sure to take care of Chai in every detail, always sending us updates and little news. Now Chai will be staying with her for 15 days, and we’re certain she’ll be extremely well cared for, with lots of love and attention.”
“LI and her family were so wonderful and caring . She sent us photos everyday of my dog Wilson living life to the fullest everyday while boarding at her place. We really appreciate everything you did for us!”
“Rachel was so lovely and wonderful with Duke. My kids absolutely loved reading her updates and looking at the pictures she sent! Thank you so much for taking care care of our sweet boy!”
“Lisa is truly the best dog sitter one could ever imagine. You wouldn’t find another sitter like her anywhere in the world—she is simply unparalleled! Without a doubt, she is the best of the best. Charlie had a wonderful time with her and the dogs she cares for. I feel incredibly lucky to have met such an amazing sitter, and I’m truly grateful for this connection.”
“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.”
“Wei and Long went above and beyond to take care of our dog, even losing sleep to take care of him when sick, I would highly recommend them and will book with them again in the future”
“Lenore took great care of my dog. Scout and her dog, Rook, seemed to get along and it was great to know that she was staying in a “dog friendly house.” It can be hard to leave your dog behind with a stranger, but I felt confident that she would be well cared for.”
“Jan is a very reliable person. She looked after my dog for three weeks when I traveled out of Canada. My dog has Addison disease therefore had to have medication everyday. She also had to have an injection on a certain day. Jan took care of everything while my dog was with her. She is kind and very trustworthy. My dog was happy and healthy when came back home. Thank you Jan for taking care of Lucy.”
“Koda is notoriously anxious and has run away from 2 previous sitters, but not this time. Shari and Richard were just the right fit for Koda, he was quite happy with them, which made for a relaxing vacation for us too! We're so grateful and will definitely hire Shari & Richard again next time!”
“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.”
“Wonderful host ! A+ We were sent videos and photos daily with an update on her activities. Host did a meet and greet prior to boarding and was very welcoming to tour his place. I can see why he has so many 5 star reviews. Will book again.”
“Cade and his family are wonderful people, they took in our dogs like they were their own. Cade was very communicative, sent plenty of pictures for my daughter and easy to work with. Thank you so much for taking great care of them.”
“Heather was absolutely wonderful and took great care of our dog, Luka, while we were away for 8 days. She consistently kept us updated with messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We felt completely confident leaving Luka in her care, along with Lucy, her adorable puppy. Thanks to Heather, we were able to truly relax and enjoy our vacation without any worries. I highly recommend her!”
“Deborah and Mark are such kind people and took great care of our dogs while we were away for an extended period. They treated the dogs like members of their family, and took them on daily outings. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing our dogs were in their care. We will use them again in a heartbeat.”
“It's been quite a while since we left our little boy with anyone other than family. We were a bit nervous initially how he would do with a bew peraon. We were very pleased with the care shown by Lisa during his stay. She was very atte tive to his needs and sent us lots of updates and pictures about how he was doing which helped ease our minds. We definitely recommend using Lisa if you need a Rover for your pooch.”

“Sarah was fantastic at looking after my cats! Her communication was really wonderful, and she clearly cared about them, and took fantastic care of them. (And sent awesome pictures!) I will definitely be rebooking with Sarah the next time I’m out of town”
“I don’t even know if I have the words to describe how amazing Ashley is as a sitter!! She was so thorough and left very detailed notes after each visit which I really appreciated. My cats are my babies and any time I’m away, I unbearably miss them. This was the first time where I missed them a little less because of all the pictures, videos, and cute notes Ashley sent. It really felt like I was still there with them. I knew they were in great hands and I could see how much they enjoyed her company. She also went above and beyond for my cat’s medical conditions and learned how to administer their medications/treatments. I truly cannot say enough good things about her, and highly recommend her. We look very forward to working with her again!”
“Judith was wonderful ?. She was the only one that our cat came out to greet, which pretty much sealed the deal ?. She was punctual, kept us posted and sent pictures. Highly recommend!!”
About: I did not grow up with cats as my parents were allergic, but that didn't stop me from begging for a kitten. My experience with cats has primarily been petsitting for my sister's cat with medical needs, and I'm pleased to report that she warmed up to me quickly.
“Another fabulous stay from Cady. Regular updates showing happy cats, thoughtful communication, and care taken for both our home and our fur babies. Cady is our go-to sitter!”
About: I currently live with 5 dogs with ages ranging from 1-8years old. I have always had a dog growing up and I love them so much! I love hanging out with dogs and cats! I have a week off every month from my job and would enjoy filling that time with pets. Thanks for meeting me! I have a lot of property and it is all fenced in. I have 5 dogs that love other dogs and would be happy to keep your dogs company.
“Lizz was great! She gave us regular updates and made sure our kitty swallowed her pills (never an easy task). She communicated well and showed up right on time. I would happily book her again!”
About: I’ve loved and lived with dogs and cats my entire life and can’t imagine a home without animals. As a longtime healthcare professional and nurse, caregiving comes naturally to me, and I’m attentive to the subtle changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and comfort that can tell us how an animal is doing. I’m comfortable with senior pets, special needs, and medications, but most of all, I simply love being with animals, whether walking a dog, cuddling on the couch, or patiently earning a cat’s trust. I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I will care for yours with the same warmth, attentiveness, and affection I give my own. I have a flexible work schedule, which gives me plenty of time to make pet care a natural part of my daily routine. I enjoy being outdoors and walking, as well as having quieter time at home, so I can easily accommodate walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of cuddles. My flexibility also allows me to be attentive to each pet’s usual routine rather than expecting them to adapt to mine. Creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment is very important to me, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours. As a healthcare professional, I naturally pay close attention to safety, routines, medications, changes in behavior, and the environment around me. I respect each pet’s unique personality and boundaries, allowing them time to feel comfortable and build trust at their own pace. I’m also very respectful of other people’s homes and will care for your space, and most importantly your beloved pets, with the same attentiveness and care I would want for my
“Mika came over and spent an hour with the dogs in the middle of the day and it was such a big help! She plays with them, took them on a walk and I feel completely comfortable with them in her care.”
“Abigail did a great job! Lots of photos with Marlin, and I could tell he was very comfortable and well taken care of. Abigail was very responsive and left the house clean. Thanks!”
About: Hi, I’m Alexys! As a registered nurse and lifelong animal lover, I bring patience, attentiveness, and compassion to every pet I care for—including cats. I understand that each cat has a unique personality, whether they’re playful, independent, or prefer quiet companionship. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, feeding, litter box care, playtime, or simply a calm presence to keep your cat comfortable while you’re away. Your cat’s safety, routine, and well-being are always my top priorities.

“She gets along great with the cats, even our grumpy one Perry came out towards the end. She was prompt and understanding even when I botched the schedule. Will book again!”
About: It would be a pleasure to meet your pets, as it is my favorite way to spend any time of my day. I look forward to hearing from you. :) _____________________________________ Hi there! I have many years of pet care experience from taking care of dogs, cats, birds, fish to taking care of reptiles, ferrets, hedgehogs, chickens, rabbits, goats, etc. I am home most of the time.

“My dog Murphy has stayed with Anastasia a few times. My husband and I have hectic work schedules and we appreciate the attention Anastasia gives Murphy. Murphy goes on several walks and we get lots of picture on how he’s doing through out the day. Murphy comes home tired and happy after daycare! Thank Anastasia ❤️”

About: Ive worked in a variety of pet care settings over the last 12+ years. Ive worked at vet clinics, police training kennels, pet sitting companies, have been a pet grooming assistant, have done dog training, and run my own pet sitting business for a few years as well. I have worked with a wide variety of dogs (big, small, old, young), and cats with a variety of special needs, I have cared for horses, small animals (rats, bunnies, chickens), goats, and several species of reptiles, and a cockatiel once. I am thorough, communicative, and am able to give a quality pet care or pet adventure experience. My availability changes per day and week based on appointments. My schedule is semi-flexible depending on the needs of your fur-kiddos and the service(s) provided. I offer in-home pet sitting, pet care, as well as can take dogs into my own home. In my own home there is a dog and several cats, so your dog(s) would need to be cat and dog friendly. Your dog will have friends to play with and cuddle with and a fenced yard to roam around with chickens, goats, and ducks in the back (typically fenced off separately).
“Daisy had amazing time for her first day without family!! Shabnam has officially become her second family! We were unsure how she reacts in a new place and if she comes back with low energy or anxiety! She loved her time with Shabnam! She truly care about Daisy’s comfort and happiness! Her space is calming and full of joy and entertainment! Thank you Shabnam!! 🐾💕”
“James was great! We had to book last minute and he was happy to help. Xhiggy came back exhausted. His backyard is great and he also took X for a beach walk. Very attentive for our Girl. Thank you James.”
“Li is so great with our dogs! They are very attentive to each of our dogs different needs. They are both excited when we pull up to his place and always come home happy and tired. I can’t recommend them enough”
“Thank you so much Heather for taking such good care of Mia! She has a separation anxiety and I had to leave her at someone's place for the first time. I was worried but she told me 'Dont say goodbye and just leave normally. She will be fine.' and I knew she was in a good hand. She looked after my dog so well throughout the day. My dog can also be anxious around other dogs but her pup also knew it and kept a comfortable distance for Mia while still very friendly to her. She also communicated well with me with photos and updates which I appreciate. I highly recommend her for any dogs that requires loving warm place to stay!”
About: I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. From an early age, I learned to appreciate their individual personalities, respect their boundaries, and recognize when they need attention, space, exercise, or simply some quiet time. While living in South Korea, I volunteered extensively with Dasom Rescue( in Seoul, Non-Profit Organization), caring for rescued dogs from a wide range of backgrounds and with many different personalities. I also volunteered as a flight companion volunteer, helping approximately 20 rescued dogs travel from South Korea to their new families in the United States and Canada. Today, I have two dogs of my own, rescued dog from Kill Shelter in Korea, whom I truly consider part of my family. I’m attentive to their daily routines, including walks, feeding, dental care, brushing, and supplements. As a dog mom myself, I know how hard it can be to trust someone else with your babies. Our dogs are family, and choosing the right person to care for them isn’t something we take lightly. That’s why I want you to feel comfortable knowing that your dog will be treated with the same care, attention, and love that I would want for my own. ✔️ I’m home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I don’t have another job that takes me away from home. which means I can spend plenty of time with the dogs in my care and give them lots of attention throughout the day. ✔️ I also live right next to a beautiful park, so it’s easy to take dogs out for regular walks, fresh air, and potty breaks. Dogs are always kept safely leashed and supervised while we’re outside. 🐾. I can also adjust my routine to match your dog’s usual schedule as closely as possible, so they can feel comfortable and at home during their stay. 🐾❤️ ✔️I only care for one dog at a time, or a maximum of two, so , I can give each dog plenty of individual attention. ✔️ your dog does not have to share their space with a resident dog. If your dog prefers to be alone, my two dogs will stay with their dad at another house, so I can provide your dog with a peaceful, comfortable, and fully separate home environment during their stay. I’m especially careful to always know where the dogs are and to maintain a safe environment. I make sure there’s nothing within reach that they could accidentally eat or get into, and I always make sure their harnesses and leashes are secure. ✔️As a dog owner, I understand how important cleanliness is to your pet’s health and comfort. I maintain a clean, fresh, and welcoming environment, with sanitized floors, fresh bedding, and a comfortable space for every dog in my care. ✔️Dogs are always leashed and supervised outside, even for quick potty breaks. Our home is quiet and surrounded by nature, and I can provide a separate space for dogs who prefer some quiet time or need to be on their own. I’ll carefully follow your dog’s usual routine and any special instructions you provide to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. 🐾
About: As an only child, my pets were the closest things I had to siblings. I grew up with Rottweilers and pugs, and siamese cats! I do have a soft spot for these breeds (and know all about the pug care: wrinkle cleaning, ear cleaning, breathing difficulties, etc). My pets were sometimes treated better than I was, which I now have a deep appreciation for. Animals are a gift to us- they deserve to be treated as such! I am a stay at home mom, so I am available any hour of the day Monday to Sunday! I am flexible and willing to work my schedule around you and your pets. Growing up, my dogs were my babies. I believe pets need to be given lots of love, affection, and attention. We are eager and excited to welcome your pet into our home! We will welcome them with love, care and cuddles. I live with my family, who all love animals. My husband Evan, and our two boys (7yrs. & 1 yr.).
“Rachael is the best of the best! She was so helpful and accommodating while I dealt with a family emergency. Colin LOVED staying with her and her family and came home happy and exhausted each day. Rachael is a rare find and I am so grateful to have found her.”
“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.”

About: Daily routine to care for family pets after school ages 10-18 and 18-21 when family was traveling. I was a cat/dog sitter for previous neighbors and relatives. I have full availability for pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking or other pet services. I currently care for 2 cats at home on a daily basis. I take time to build trust with pets including sitting at their eye level and speaking to pets with a calm tone. I ensure all required needs are met for food, water, play time, medication administration, exercise, and affection.
“Always reliable and dependable! Judy is a regular for us, walking our girl every week. And even on the rare days we need her in a pinch! Thank you, Judy, for always being there for us and our pup, rain or shine!”
About: Hi! My name is Megan, I am 27yrs old and just moved to Blaine from Issaquah! I have two pups, Kona and Dixie, who keep me active and moving every day! I have owned animals my entire life as well as worked on multiple farms caring for animals such as horses, donkeys, pigs, goats, chickens, and ducks! I love working with animals and making sure they stay active and healthy. I am currently looking at going back to school part-time and looking for a job that can supplement the free time that I will have from that. My classes would be online so I will be able to make my own schedule so I will be able to make anything work! I have a fenced yard but would prefer to only care for animals in their own home. One of my dogs is quite scared of other dogs even though his best friend is our 3yr old puppy. But, to ensure the safety and comfortability of both my dogs and yours, I believe that care in their own home where they are the most comfortable and at ease is the best.

About: I grew up working on a farm! Not only am I familiar with training puppies and caring for cats, I also know my way around a barn. I have time in the early mornings and evenings to visit your pets! I am also able to house sit and provide daily exercise to any extent you need! I love to go on walks and adventuring in parks. But I also love just sitting on the couch with a dog or cat :) I am flexible and ready to meet whatever your pet needs!
“Oh my goodness. What a great human. Emilia was so patient, sitting with my shy dog before going on the walks and she warmed up so well after the patience. I got videos and pictures. Emilia went above and beyond, so grateful!!”
“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.”
About: I’ve always pet sat for all my family members! I love dogs and training them!! I also worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility so know lots of dog temperaments!

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 8 and all my dogs have shown great love towards me because I give them the full love back. I am known in the family as the family caretaker when our dogs get old and need special attention. The reason I take care of my dogs when they get older because I have the patience, attentions, and most of all, love in supporting them through their elderly stage. All pets deserve the best and I am more than happy to provide that! I am currently taking the year off from work to travel the world but in between my trips I have a lot of free time and feel it can be better spent taking care of pets while other people can enjoy trips or another activity that requires them to leave their pet at home. I have a 5-year old Havanese and I take him on walks daily, I make sure he is bathe at least once a month, and try to take him on as many trips so I can, so he can enjoy the world as much I as I do.
About: I've had dogs in my family since I was a baby; I grew up around them and my love for them grew. I care deeply for my own dogs, and I'm always excited to meet a new four legged friend. I regularly petsit for my family, a multitude of dogs, cats, and aquatic creatures. My schedule is currently very flexible; I make time for a walk and training my own dog every day and I sometimes bring him with me when running errands. I love snuggling and hanging out with all kinds of pets, letting them get comfortable with me in their space and touching them at their own pace.

We were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing our dogs were in their care. We will use them again in a heartbeat.”
“First we have used rover and it was awesome. Jennifer was super quick with her response/booking and dropping off ren was smooth and easy. Our kids loved the videos she sent each night of our dog playing and enjoying her time there. Would absolutely book with Jennifer again!”
“Denise and Paul have been amazing sitters for our doggie. We have sent Obie to them several times to prepare Obie for a 10 night stay with them. Each time they have been wonderful, constant photo and video updates, and are always flexible with drop off and pick up times. Obie had her longest stay with them and was happy to see us when we came to get her, but then grabbed her toy and ran to the backyard wanting to stay and play. We can rest easy knowing she is in such good care and that she’s comfortable and cozy. 10/10 would recommend without hesitation.”
“July took such wonderful care of my cat, Tillie, while I was away. She went above and beyond to make sure Tillie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear that Tillie loved her time with July—it was like a little vacation for her too! I wouldn’t hesitate to trust July with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and reliable pet sitter.”
“My honey and I have been using Ms. Dollys services to watch our two naughty 75 pound plus babies for a few months now. I think we have boarded our dogs a total 4 times with her. She’s always super accommodating and willing for emergency stay overs if your 4 hour drive from Oregon turns into 8 hours (life saver). Ms. Dolly handles my helicopter dog mom ways and assures me “ I got this” ( she really does) Our babies LOVE Ms. Dolly and even know her by name. They get some serious zooms when we leash up by the door and mention dolly town. Upon first arriving a few months ago I was so happy to see she has a full on kennel set up, rubber washable mats, large and heated areas to run and play on icky days. Toys, leashes you name it. We even forgot our food one time, no worries dolly had a back up that matched the very specific sweet potato and salmon diet we had going. It’s like having a family member watch your dogs but the family member is also super professional and also operates a full puppy bizniz. Upon arrival you will be asked to fill out a secondary form, shots, vet, food routine, emergency contact ect. Ms. dolly is seriously a pro. Drop off is always super emotional for us but Ms. Dolly always sends pics and videos. It seems like she hangs out with our dogs all day by how much play time they actually get. They even did a bonfire and hung out with our pups the way we would do in our backyard. Your dogs are family and it shows. Ms. Dolly has a full backyard where your dogs can run and play and party all night if they wanted. This is a serious plus for our very energetic pitbull and spaz German Sheppard. I would never choose another boarder. Thank you Ms. Dolly, we love you! - Brandon, Katy, Ghost and Ranger.”
“Wonderful first experience for both Ella and I. Randona gives consistent and transparent updates which provides a great level of comfort. Ella had a ton of playtime, new experiences, and new feline friends! Thank you!”
“Our dog Duke had a great time during his 10 day stay at Ciara’s boarding. Michael was great he sent photos and videos whenever he was able to. Duke looked like he had so much fun and has been exhausted ever since coming home. Thank you for taking care of our pup”
“We found Kelsey and honestly feel like we hit the jackpot. From the start, she took the time to get to know us and our pups, Lexi and Charlie, making sure it was a good fit—and that little extra care made us feel totally at ease leaving them during our honeymoon. She made the whole process effortless, stayed in great communication, and sent us the perfect amount of updates—just enough to ease our dog-parent hearts without making us too jealous that our dogs were clearly living their best lives. The photo updates were a highlight (Lexi’s modeling career may have peaked). The best part? Lexi and Charlie came home happy, tired, and weirdly… better behaved? Not sure what kind of magic Kelsey worked, but we’re here for it. Her home is lovely, and her sweet dogs made great vacation buddies for ours. We’ve already told our family how amazing she is, and there’s no question—we’ve found our go-to pup-sitter. 10/10 would book again. – Jermaine & Steve”
“First time we have ever left our Harrison with a stranger. We were so very happy that our little pup felt comfortable so early in the visit. So excited to get so many pictures and videos to ease the mind of an anxious human!! Thank you for taking such good care of our little Harrison.”
About: I’ve loved and lived with dogs and cats my entire life and can’t imagine a home without animals. As a longtime healthcare professional and nurse, caregiving comes naturally to me, and I’m attentive to the subtle changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and comfort that can tell us how an animal is doing. I’m comfortable with senior pets, special needs, and medications, but most of all, I simply love being with animals, whether walking a dog, cuddling on the couch, or patiently earning a cat’s trust. I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I will care for yours with the same warmth, attentiveness, and affection I give my own. I have a flexible work schedule, which gives me plenty of time to make pet care a natural part of my daily routine. I enjoy being outdoors and walking, as well as having quieter time at home, so I can easily accommodate walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of cuddles. My flexibility also allows me to be attentive to each pet’s usual routine rather than expecting them to adapt to mine. Creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment is very important to me, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours. As a healthcare professional, I naturally pay close attention to safety, routines, medications, changes in behavior, and the environment around me. I respect each pet’s unique personality and boundaries, allowing them time to feel comfortable and build trust at their own pace. I’m also very respectful of other people’s homes and will care for your space, and most importantly your beloved pets, with the same attentiveness and care I would want for my
“We feel so fortunate to have found Walter and Angela. They lovingly cared for our sweet Lexi for ten days. Lexi is a high energy big pup who went for lots of adventures (walks!). They kindly sent us photos while we were away, which was very reassuring. Lexi is looking forward to her next visit to Walter and Angela’s!”
“Sandra and her kids took wonderful care of my dog! They are genuine animal lovers and very knowledgeable, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog was clearly happy and well looked after. I highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
