“April so kind and caring when it came to my pup! I had to find care last minute, which caused a lot of stress for me. She soothed all my doubts and make sure my girl had a great stay. April is definitely somebody that I will book with for future boarding needs! :)”
“Sheri was great. She made sure to send us pictures daily while also making sure our dog got a ton of exercise and attention. Our chocolate lab Daisy and her chocolate lab Sam got along great. She also made sure to clean our dog's ears every day for us since she was having issues with a yeast infection from playing in the ocean. I would recommend her for everybody. ”
“A wonderful pet sitter! Very communicative and warm. She was able to accommodate our last minute request, sent us updates and photos of our doggy while we were away, which was very reassuring, and she was flexible and understanding when our ferry delayed our pickup time by almost an hour. We would recommend her and be happy to have her care for our pup again in the future.”

It was clear to me that she treated him as if he was her own and that’s exactly what I’m looking for in a Dog Sitter . I almost don’t want to leave her a good review because I want to keep her services all to myself! Haha .”
“Kayla was awesome! Our pup had so much fun playing with the other dogs and was well taken care of. It was so nice to get updates and to know he was doing great during our 12 days away. We will definitely be booking with Kayla again.”
“Marshel is great and obviously loves dogs. The fenced yard is perfect as my Golden Retriever loves to spend time outdoors. I feel very comfortable leaving my dogs with Marshel - I know they will be well taken care of!”
“Hayley was AWESOME! She went way above and beyond to take care of our pug. Super responsive, and sent lots of pics and updates while we were away. She even bought our pug a little toy, which she totally loves. We highly recommend Hayley. You’re the best! Thanks, Hayley!”

Samson got to play with other dogs daily, and 1-2 walks a day, sometimes more!! So thankful to have found David through Rover. Thank you David!!”
“Alexa took very good care of our dear pet Trigg! For more than a month long! We were sent pictures and videos frequently and Alexa was always super responsive whenever reached out to. I strongly recommend her for sitting/boarding!”

“Britt was very friendly and accommodating. Colbie seemed very happy upon our return. She even lost a few pounds which was needed because Britt took her on so many walks. Colbie really enjoyed Britt's dog who was very nice.”

About: Hi, I’m Joy! I’ve been around animals my whole life. My mom is a veterinarian, so I grew up learning how to care for pets with attention and compassion. I truly love both dogs and cats and treat every animal like my own. I have a background in healthcare, so I’m very comfortable with pets who need a little extra support. I have experience caring for senior animals, administering medications, and even giving injections when needed. You can feel confident your pet is in safe, capable hands. I enjoy being active and love getting outside for walks, making sure your dog gets both exercise and attention. I’m also very clean, organized, and respectful of your home. I’ll always leave things tidy and cared for. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide references. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel completely at ease. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family Animal lover with lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats. I grew up with veterinary care in my home (my mom is a vet) and have a strong background in healthcare, which makes me comfortable with senior pets, medications, and special care needs, including injections if needed. I’m active and enjoy daily walks, and I’m very attentive to routine and safety. I’m reliable, calm, and detail-oriented. I also keep spaces clean and organized and treat every home and pet with respect. References available upon request. Can not care for pets in my household, we already have 3 dogs and 1 cat.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve owned everything from dogs, cats, rodents, birds and insects over the years. I’ve been a volunteer at pet rescues over the years and have an extra-special fondness for pets in their golden years. I’ve done a lot of pet sitting over the years, which has included everything from walks, baths and play to administering medication and cleaning up accidents - there isn’t a lot that phases me. I treat each pet like I would my own, giving them the same love, care and attention they get from their family. I look forward to doing the same for yours 😊 I work from home during the week with a flexible schedule which allows me the opportunity to care for pets during the day - whether it’s for a walk, a check-in for a potty break, or even just for some cuddles and play. My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible, which means I’m happy to follow whatever routine it is that you have set. Does Max need their food heated up to a specific temperature so they’ll eat it? Done. Does Gabby need to be crated? No problem. All pets are unique, so their needs can be too. I always go over routines and preferences with parents to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable. I know when I have entrusted my pet to someone else I love getting pictures, so you can rest assured if you do too I will send them as much as you want! You are also always welcome to ask for them anytime, no matter how often. As your pets wellbeing is my priority, I can ensure my focus is 100% on them when we’re together.

About: Since I was 8, I have known how to care for cats. I grew up raising cats and kittens. At 22, I helped rescue a kitten for my mom and nephew. She is fully grown and healthy now. Cats need activity and play to entertain them.
“Nicole was a life saver! We had an opportunity to travel to Houston, but were concerned about how to get our two kitties attended to - Nicole to the rescue! She stopped by daily and fed/watered and took care of the litter box and got to play with one of our cats - the other was too elusive for her to interact with, but we know both were well cared for! We will definitely call Nicole the next time a travel opportunity comes up!”

“Our dog was happy when we dropped her off, showing that she had good memories from her past stay. She was relaxed, tired but happy when we picked her up, so had plenty of play time outside. She has separation anxiety and some insecurities, so it was great to see how comfortable she is there. Very happy with the daycare.”
“Thank you so much for watching our baby Boo! He was wore out and was sad the next day he didn't have his buddies around. Next time we come to Washington we will book again with Jennifer. She did an amazing job and he loved staying there!”
“I can't say enough WONDERFUL things about Nicole and her kindness and compassion for dogs. I have a super weird, passive, slightly neurotic dog and Nicole has managed to bring out the puppy again in her. Nicole is always flexible, (my work schedule is also neurotic and weird) and happy to see Luna. Her house is a safe and welcoming place for dogs!”
“I really appreciate Sara‘s willingness to help me out with my baby. My dog is not used to be around so many other dogs. for me. It was not a fit because of that reason. Sara was great ,no complaints about her. But my little senior is always Best one on one or with only one or two other small dogs.”
“Angela and her family have been wonderful and communicative during Charlie’s first week of daycare. As it generally takes Charlie some time to settle into a new routine, this has been the smoothest transition I have had. 100% recommend Angela for daycare or pet sitting needs.”
“Lana is great with our Lily. Now that we've been going back regularly, Lily gets so excited to get out of the car when we pull up and she greets Lana and her family with gusto. Definitely recommend her day care and boarding services. ❤️”
“Gracie (my 80lb, 8 month old puppy) and I highly recommend Mz Rachael. Rachael is approachable and available. She answers all my questions and is flexible with Gracie's visits each week. Rachael has an obvious passion for animals, Gracie immediately took to her. We started with Rachael in April and have no complaints. Gracie jumps out of the car, tail wagging, when we arrive each week for day-care. Thank you, Rachael, and family for loving on Gracie!! :)”
“I was so nervous that my dog was going to stay with someone I didn’t personally know but man my dog came home and passed out. He loved his stay and this is my ultimate dream! Thank you so much for making me be at ease and making my Kody feel so so welcome!! ❤️❤️”

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. I grew up in a home full of pets like cats, dogs, fish, and birds. I developed a deep love and understanding of animals of all kinds.

“I want to thank Jordan for looking after my two dogs. She was so sweet and helpful. I loved that she was constantly updating about the dogs, and sending pictures and she took the time to play with them, fed them and took them for a walk. She was very patient with the dogs. Sanji and Robin are very playful since they’re about a year old. Honestly, after an unexpected long day at work it was great to know my dogs were im good hands. Thank you for asking about taking your shoes off inside the apartment it was very thoughtful and thank you for following all the instructions for the dogs”
About: I've lived with animals all my life, and have looked after my family's pets occasionally. I am an all around animal lover, I'm professional and dependable, and I'm great at following directions. I have some trips planned for the coming future, so a few stretches of time will be unavailable. I will be very transparent and communicative with prospective clients about my schedule. Feel free to ask me for details! I will be respectful and conscientious when inside all clients' homes, and will do everything in my ability to keep your pet comfortable in their own routines and habits.
“We are so thankful for Natasha’s help with Spiro! She was fabulous and gave us such confidence. Her communication is clear, consistent, and kind.

Thank you, Natasha!”
About: I have always had dogs and currently have bunnies too. I volunteer one morning a week at the animal shelter when I'm physically able. I have trained six of my own. Also enjoy creating enrichment and providing interaction for those who benefit from it. Happy to give your pets company for a short while. I am available to do drop-ins for up to an hour or two in the mornings or early afternoons including a potty break. Depending on the dog and the day, longer walks may be available. Dependent on demeanor, I can provide company outside or inside with as much attention requested, a short walk, or play session. Automatically thresholds will be respected for exposure to triggers. On-leash will include practicing loose-leash walking, lots of sniffing, and some impulse control. Play will include the toys and/or treats provided at the pups home.
About: With over 6 years of pet care experience, I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat every pet like my own, so you can feel confident your furry family member is in great hands. I'm currently working pier diem, so I can set my hours and change my days off which works wonders when it comes to watching your furry pet! I have a fenced yard, and a very friendly pup! I can take them potty as much as they need, keep them on your schedule you have at home, and they will get plenty of walks and playtime!
About: I am someone who truly believes that pets are an important part of the family. I have cared for dogs and cats with different personalities, routines and needs over the years and have a background in health care. I am confident I can take excellent care of your pets and give them the fulfillment they need while you are away! I am available daily with no set schedule. I have made the difficult decision to leave the nursing profession after 20 years to do something that brings me joy. I will respect your home and the pet’s environment as if it were my own. I am comfortable being in any type of environment and will follow whatever schedule and routine you need me to in order to care for your baby the best way possible.
About: I have taken care of just about every type of animal since I was young (dogs, cats, horses, birds, fish, hedgehogs, gerbils, snakes, etc.) I've trained and raised several puppies and kittens. The majority of the animals in my life were adult animals and if they were family pets, they stayed with us until it was time to cross the rainbow bridge so I also have a fair amount of experience with senior care as well. I grew up with no less than 4 animals in the house at all times, so I'm very good with multiple-pet households, but I currently live in a household with only one dog, so I am also comfortable doting on just one at a time :) I am currently available 24/7 and this is my primary career! I am happy to care for your fuzzy friends and family any time of day or night, their set schedule becomes my own! :3 I really believe every pet is different and taking into account their personality, energy, as well as their history or needs is very important. I like to give pets loads of attention if they are the type that likes attention, or I'm happy to just sit and read a book with them if they are more the sleepy type. I don't believe in leaving dogs in yards unattended, and I am a very communicative person-- I am not afraid to ask questions or clarify things I may not be sure of.
About: I have taken care of my dog for several months, kept up with his training and spend time playing. Puppies need extra attention to grow into healthy adults. Adults need just as much affection and some play time. I work full-time weekdays but I am available in the evenings. Saturdays are free for me to play with dogs and take care of them. I can manage keeping up with a dogs training and take care of their needs at the same time! Who needs their dogs loved on or watched over?
About: I grew up with a Pomeranian and cared for him through his senior years, so I know the extra patience and gentleness older pets need. I also raised my brother’s kitten to adulthood and have dog sat for relatives and cat sat for friends and coworkers, from playful puppies to shy kitties. What sets me apart is that pets have never been a side interest for me. Pets have been a part of my daily life since childhood, and I treat every animal like my own! As a student, my schedule gives me a good amount of flexibility during the week, so pet care fits in naturally rather than being squeezed in around a rigid 9-to-5. I can build feeding, walks, and playtime into my day without rushing, and I have the free time to give each pet real attention, not just a quick check-in. That flexibility also means I can adjust to a pet’s routine instead of asking them to adjust to mine. I only provide care in the client’s home, since I think pets do best staying in their own familiar environment, surrounded by their usual smells, sounds, and routine instead of the stress of a new space. When I’m there, I stick closely to the pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime, and I make sure to spend real one-on-one time with them, not just handle the basics. I also keep an eye on anything that seems off whether it’s their appetite, energy, or behavior so I can flag it to the owner right away.
About: Hi, I’m Nyomi! I’m 18 years old and proudly a cat mom and dog step-mom, so animals are a huge part of my everyday life. I’ve been caring for pets for several years feeding, grooming, playing, walking, and making sure they feel loved and safe. I’m super patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy bonding with animals of all kinds. I know how to read their moods, give them space when needed, and shower them with attention when they want it. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch or playtime in the yard, I’m all in. What sets me apart? I bring a calm, nurturing energy and treat every pet like they’re family. I’m comfortable with all sizes and personalities, and I’m great with shy or nervous pets too. Whether you're looking for someone to care for a playful puppy or a chill senior dog, I’ve got it covered with love and care. I work 12–6 on weekdays, with every other Monday off, and I'm available mornings and evenings during the week. On weekends, I work full-time but still have flexibility early mornings or late evenings for drop-ins or walks. I love incorporating pet care into my routine and it's honestly a calming and rewarding part of my day. Whether it’s a quick visit, feeding, or a longer stay, I make time for animals because they bring me joy. When caring for pets, safety and comfort come first. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely from feeding schedules to behavior quirks so your pets feel secure and happy. I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment whether I’m in my home or yours. I’m respectful of your space, keep things tidy, and always check gates, leashes, and food portions to keep your furry friends safe. I treat every pet like they’re my own with love, patience, and attention to detail.
About: I've grown up all my life with pets. My family had two cats and a Welsh Springer Spaniel. I also got to take care of my grandparents Schnauzer while they were out of town. I am a very clean and responsible guest. I am reliable and on time. I look forward to hearing from you. I'm currently searching for a full time job so I'm available anytime to walk your dogs (or cats). I can come visit while you're gone during the day or stay with them while you're gone. I'm happy to visit or stay with your pet. I'm not someone who will come over and sit on their phone. I look forward to walking, playing, and cuddling with your fur baby.
About: I am an experienced obedience dog trainer who wishes for a work-life balance helping animals!! Animals have been my passion throughout my life, ranging from reptiles, rodents, to dogs. My goal is to further expand my knowledge in dog training and to learn everything there is to help guide me into more opportunities working with furballs! Having animals of my own, as well as having many in the family, has given me experience with handling. This is where I have learned and practiced skills such as dog training, intervening with disputes, administering medicine, and much more. I also love the outdoors, so hiking is something I love to do with my dogs to burn out their energy. During my experience at ABC (Animal Behavior College), I worked with trainers where I learned techniques for impulse control, reactivity, puppies, and even some service dog training. I also worked with the behavioral specialist at the Everett Animal Shelter where I am provided a list of dogs to work with and make them more adoptable :) I am flexible most days!! I work a full-time job at the moment but have a mixed schedule between days and nights. This makes it easier to do drop-ins/walks during the weekend and then sitting at night during the week! I currently live in a camper with not a lot of room to host doggies here. However, I will be moving to Burlington area soon and will have a much bigger area to hopefully board overnight!!
About: Experienced, full time sitter, with a beautiful 5 acre property for the pups. A large fenced section for outdoor play and comfortable sleeping arrangements inside of the home. You can be confident that your pup is on a luxury vacation while you are on vacation OR will come home exhausted from daycare after your work day! Please make sure you have a complete pet profile and review the information below, prior to sending a request. Thank you for your interest! I host multiple dogs at a time and have a fantastic group of well socialized, regular visitors. My home is best suited for friendly, trained and socialized pups. Happy to accommodate to shy & senior pups. Can handle basic medical issues, such as administering ear drops, eye drops, medications, bathing, etc, with ease. I understand your dog is a member of the family and can keep up with all special requests. *Please ensure your pup is up to date on all vaccines, flea prevention and has a clean fecal exam prior to their visit. We can have a full house some days and want to keep all the pups healthy!* I am a full time sitter and am usually home all day, however please plan for up to 4 hours a day where I may be offsite and your pet will be monitored over pet-cam. They can either be crated or in an open sleeping dog room at that time. Safety, supervision and FUN are my top priorities for every stay. You can trust that your pup is in a controlled environment with a fenced backyard. Confident dog handler, great photos guaranteed. It's all about the dogs! Crate training is not required but encouraged for inquiring customers. Depending on the schedule, I have to decline non crate trained dogs occasionally.
About: Animal lover looking to meet your pets needs. I used to work at a dog and cat boarding facility so I have experience working with different breeds and personalities. I am trained to give medicine such as pills, insulin, and eye drops. I would love to take your furry friend for a hike or run. Message me if you want to meet up and get to know each other before deciding to proceed. My schedule is highly flexible as I am only working part-time right now. I am looking for on-call and overnight but could be available for a longer-term position as well. I will watch over your animals as if they are my own. I will diligently follow safety and feeding instructions. Every pet is different and my care is adaptable to provide you and your pet the best experience.
About: I have worked at veterinarians, pet stores, and animal shelters, with pets of all kinds. I love walkng, cuddling and hanging out with all dogs. I’m a stay at home mom on a farm. I love spending time with my animals and also have a Sniffspot so other dogs can enjoy our space. When your dog first gets here they can smell around all the new smells and then decide if they want to interact with the other animals or not. I supervise any interactions to keep everyone safe. All dogs are welcome to be inside or outside. We have 5 fully fenced acres.
About: Hi, I'm Trisha! I have been married for a little over 5 years to my husband Shawn. I have 2 children, a 10 year old boy, named Orion, and my daughter Kaylee, who would have been 22 years old, unfortunately she passed away from a car accident in 2020. I grew up in a little country town in CA. And was raised with animals. My grandpa was a big animal lover, and we had everything from a baby bear cub to kittens. I was in FFA for 4 years and raised a pig all 4 years to sell at the fair. Shawn is from the Arlington area and was also raised with animals. He has raised everything from goats to kittens. We feel that your pets aren't just pets, but more like a child, and we know the importance of finding the right care for your Fur-Babies. A majority of the pets we have cared for have been rescue pets. The the transition for them is hard enough as it is being left at a stranger's house, and we don't want to make that transition any more difficult for them. We ask that you bring an item with them, something that they associate with you and home. Also we ask for these items as well: food, food bowl, and water bowl, bed or bedding, toys they may want to play with, treats, and of course a daily interaction log ( we want to keep them on the same routine that they are use to, or as close to it as we can) I also try and send pictures daily, but in the off chance I miss a day, I send extra shots the next day. If we sound like a good fit for you, we are always happy to set up a meet and greet at our place for introductions. (We have also taken in fur-kids without meet and greets.) Drop off and pick up are as followed: Drop Offs: before 6:30am are an additional $10.00 Pick ups: after 8pm will be an additional $1.00 per minute unless prior arrangements have been made with Shawn or myself. Also we have a $20.00 off your first booking with us, for you! (Can only be used for our services) please ask for coupon code! Have a great day. And we look forward to caring for your Fur-Babies🐱🐕🐶🐩🐺🐈 I currently work 7am to 3pm Monday through Friday. And Shawn works from home as an independent contractor, so your Fur-baby would always have someone with them. We live in quiet housing complex right off of Smokey Point Blvd. that gives you quick and easy access to I5. We have a 6'' fenced back yard, live at the end of a dead end street, very little traffic.

“April so kind and caring when it came to my pup! I had to find care last minute, which caused a lot of stress for me. She soothed all my doubts and make sure my girl had a great stay. April is definitely somebody that I will book with for future boarding needs! :)”
“Sheri was great. She made sure to send us pictures daily while also making sure our dog got a ton of exercise and attention. Our chocolate lab Daisy and her chocolate lab Sam got along great. She also made sure to clean our dog's ears every day for us since she was having issues with a yeast infection from playing in the ocean. I would recommend her for everybody. ”
“Allison was great! She is so kind and was very patient with my Trigger and his anxiety and sent updates with photos throughout the time he was with her. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our dog. You provided so many pictures to let us know that she was happy and having a wonderful time as a part of your family for the weekend thank you and I am giving you a five star rating because you are worth every star.”
“Aarika was very responsive, polite and flexible. I felt that she was easily accessible. My pup was very happy and clearly well taken care of. It was clear to me that she treated him as if he was her own and that’s exactly what I’m looking for in a Dog Sitter . I almost don’t want to leave her a good review because I want to keep her services all to myself! Haha .”
“Kayla was awesome! Our pup had so much fun playing with the other dogs and was well taken care of. It was so nice to get updates and to know he was doing great during our 12 days away. We will definitely be booking with Kayla again.”
“Hayley was AWESOME! She went way above and beyond to take care of our pug. Super responsive, and sent lots of pics and updates while we were away. She even bought our pug a little toy, which she totally loves. We highly recommend Hayley. You’re the best! Thanks, Hayley!”
“Addy had such a great visit with Bethany! She came home happy and we loved the updates. Knowing she was having a great time and was well cared for gave us the space to relax and enjoy our trip!”
“Lana was great; very responsive and helpful. She was also very understanding when are arrival got delayed. If we need help again, I would book her especially since our dogs got along so well.”
“It was great to have David watch our Samson for 10 days while we were on vacation. He sent us pictures, videos and daily updates which helped to relieve any possible concerns. Samson got to play with other dogs daily, and 1-2 walks a day, sometimes more!! So thankful to have found David through Rover. Thank you David!!”
“Alexa took very good care of our dear pet Trigg! For more than a month long! We were sent pictures and videos frequently and Alexa was always super responsive whenever reached out to. I strongly recommend her for sitting/boarding!”
“Winston had a wonderful stay with Alexis and her family! He was EXHAUSTED when he got home!! ??? Alexis sent daily updates which were much appreciated. I highly recommend her!!”
“Coordinating with Ashley for our two dogs' boarding was an excellent experience. She sent multiple daily photos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in a loving home and receiving wonderful care. She was also incredibly flexible when our flight was delayed, accommodating a later pickup time than planned. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Thank you again Katie! The boys love going to your house and had an another great visit. We look forward to needing your services again. It’s great to have someone so amazing to help out with our pups 🐶 🐶”
“Kimberly always take amazing care of our pup! She’s great about sending updates and pictures while we’re gone. Our dog loves her (seriously gets excited when we pull up to her house and runs up to her immediately). Thanks for everything!!”
“Carmen is amazing! She took care of my 3 month old puppy for four days while my family was out of town and he was happy and tired when we picked him up. I can tell that she kept working on his potty training and mouthiness, as he had no accidents since he came home and is not nipping as much. I will definitely use her service again!”
“Brooke is an amazing dog sitter. She has a huge yard for Birdie and her new best friend Lambeau. Lots of photos and texts. Lots of walks and attention. Thank you again!”
“Kevin has a other great day with Linda. Kevin had lots of fun going on walks and taking naps. Kevin stayed a little later today which coincidentally was at the start of the storm. Linda played music for Kevin to keep him calm, which was very thoughtful. Linda also gave us a new client card and gift, which was so kind. Thank you Linda! ☺️”
