“Jo is the absolute best. We have never left our dogs with anyone before, but Jo was so patient and treated our dogs with such loving care that we were fully able to relax knowing they were well cared for. Her communication was fabulous and we will happily recommend her to all dog parents. Thanks Jo!!”
“Candra was amazing!! She took such good care of my dog Dora, and provided several updates throughout her stay. She made sure she understood Dora’s needs, schedule, preferences, etc. I didn’t worry about Dora one bit because I knew she was having such a good time from the videos and pictures she sent me. Her kids and husband are awesome, and Dora was constantly entertained and had plenty of playtime throughout the day. I will 100% book with Candra again!”

Thank you for taking care of Penny, she loved staying with you and your family.”

If I ever need a sitter again, I'll make sure to contact Gary first! Thank you!”
“Daria was absolutely amazing! We just moved to the area and our older rescue dogs are very moody and curious and we’re still adjusting to their new environment when we had to travel for the holidays. I was nervous it would not work out but Daria was a godsend! I got daily updates and my oldest didn’t even want to leave when pick up time came. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our little guys.”
“Kyle and his whole family gave Millie and Mabel such a warm welcome! They have a large, fully fenced yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run and play, and Kyle sent us lots of updates and photos throughout their stay. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were happy, safe, and well cared for. We would absolutely book with Kyle & Marissa again!”
“Our two Boston terriers had a great time at Tracy’s place! They loved her large outdoor space and playing with other dogs.

We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”
“Jenny made our dogs feel so at home and gave updates to us while we were away. Leaving for 2 weeks internationally took alot of trust in those caring for our dogs. Jenny went over and beyond to make sure that we enjoyed our vacation and didn't have to worry about our dogs. From enrichment activities, to walks, to cuddles, - our dogs couldn't have had it better. We would 100% have Jenny care for our dogs again. Thanks Jenny!”

“This was Derek’s second stay with Jeehyun and her family, and once again they took such great care of him. It’s clear he was very loved while we were away, which means so much to us. Their family is so kind, attentive, and treats Derek like part of the family.

We’re so grateful to have found them and would absolutely recommend Jeehyun and family again and again! Derek can’t wait for his next stay. 🐶”

“Kathleen did a phenomenal job taking care of our cat. She performed everything we asked, and went above and beyond to vacuum our floor without being asked to. I would be very comfortable to have Kathleen take care of our cat again.”
“Britney was fabulous with her drop-in visits. Her visits were always accompanied with good pics, videos n anything to report. She also took the initiative to spend some time with my cat which was very comforting to see :) Everything was looked after and well attended to. Highly recommend!”
“We highly recommend Juniper. She has been communicative and doing drop ins on our cat when we are working out of town. We plan to continue using her as our sitter. She sends photos and updates. Our cat is pretty anti social, but Juniper seems to have a way with her.”
“Honestly, i can not say enough about how great Mike has been with our cat and the amazing service he has provided both times he watched him for us. We had an issue the morning after we left for our trip out of state where a neighbor broke into our apartment and Mike went out of his way to retrieve Zeus and get him home safely, truly did not have to do anything extra but he did and it meant the absolute world to us. Mike is a great guy, caring and goes above and beyond for his care of others pets. Thankful for Mike!”
“Hitha was great with our four cats, very friendly and they seemed comfortable around her. She listened to all special care needs and communicated well. She took our request on a last minute basis when we were going on a special trip out of town and a previous sitter didn’t work out, so she really saved us! Would highly recommend her services.”
“We are so happy with Lorie's help! When we were gone our plans had changed the last minute and we we were in a pinch finding someone. Lorie has agreed to help us right away, and she did a wonderful job taking care of our pets. She had to learn what to do over the phone and did exactly what we had asked her. We have a turtle who needs to be fed in a separate water tank, and he tends to bite when someone sticks their hands in his water. However, that didn't seem to scare Lorie, and she took on the job very bravely. We were very pleased to return to a clean house and happy pets. We highly recommend Lorie to anyone who is looking for a trusted and caring pet sitter.”
“Gypsie and Robby were great! My cat needed checked on once a day while I was on vacation. They were always on time, spent quality time with my kitty and sent multiple pictures!”
“Cortney was fantastic! She did an amazing job checking in on my kitties while I was away, even managing to break them of their shyness and made them comfortable. She is definitely the cat whisperer and you can 100% count on her to take care of your pets. She kept us well informed and took the cutest pictures. Will definitely contact her again, and recommend to friends in the area.”
“Awesome TLC and piece of mind for me. A million thank you’s for taking good care of of my kitties especially giving….injections!!! No fuss or worry which is exactly what a worried fur momma needed.”
“Callaway is very communicative and easy to work with. Unfortunately my cat was not very nice to her (unforeseen) and she took it in stride with so much gracious understanding.”
“Eriko and her mom did a fantastic job caring for our cat while we were gone. Their love for animals was apparent right from the beginning when Eriko immediately made friends with our dog and began playing with him. They did a great job watching our cat, who is especially shy. To our surprise, they were petting him almost immediately; which was note worthy given his history as a rescue cat. We received pictures and amusing updates on a daily basis. We arrived home and the house was in great shape and our cat was well taken care of. My wife and I were very pleased, and would definitely use them again. We highly recommend them!”
“Barbara was wonderful! She took care of our cat, frogs, and turtle while we were gone for 10 days. Our cat loved her and she made sure the other animals were cared for properly. She provided helpful updates and left us a daily log when we returned. I would definitely use Barbara again in the future!”
About: I've always wanted a cat! Since my family is allergic, I started caring for cats back in middle school, starting with years of volunteering in an animal shelter and later fostering or boarding for clients while in college. I have experience with both kittens and older cats, and am familiar reading feline body language from a range of temperaments. Whether it's playtime, quiet companionship, or providing medical care, I've been able to make sure that every cat feels safe and loved - just like they would at a forever home!
About: I’ve always taken care of cats and am an active foster for many local rescues. Great at all personalities and adept at all challenges, medications, litter boxes, grooming. I’d love to care for your babies.

“Candra and her family took such great care of our dog! They were so loving and attentive to him. They cared for all of his needs. He had plenty of yard space to explore and got regular walks. She sent us pictures and kept us updated on how he was doing which we greatly appreciated. He came home very happy and we would absolutely book with them again!”

“Amy and Shelby were prompt to communicate and were able to take Tuesday at the last minute. Toos came home happy and tired. Thanks for taking care of her!”
“Kyle & Marissa are the best! Super easy to communicate and work with, and really welcoming and awesome with our pups. Moose & Bunny played, took a walk, and came home super tired, which is always what you hope for. We got updates and photos, and felt totally comfortable leaving them. This is a great family, and we'll definitely book with them again. Fun fact: they even sent us home with a goodie bag from their apple trees and garden! Thanks, y'all :)”
“Tunyi really helped me out in a pinch. When I dropped of Mila, she even had snacks and distractions ready to go to help Mila with her separation anxiety. I felt good about leaving her there! Huge backyard and a furry friend to play with Mila. Couldn’t be more thankful for Tunyi.”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life and now in a position (I'm retired) to help others. As a pet owner I have trained Labradors, Walker Hound, mix breeds, and enjoy all types of dogs. I like getting dogs outside for walk or play. I'm doing this not for the money but I simply love dogs. My wife and I are in our go go years and plan to travel, but when we are home I can help board on our 1 1/3 acre (non fenced) yard or i can simply come take your dog for a walk. I am retired and have a hobby (efoil). My typical day is to go out on Lake Washington for a couple hours in the morning 2 to 3 days a week and efoil in the morning. Than I am free other than house projects around our home. At times we plan to travel, but trips are known way in advance. I have a big yard but it is not fenced, I do have a kennel I can setup at the back of my house with a covered area. I live close to Cottage Lake and would take your dog for walks down to the lake and around the trails.
About: I work from home, so your dog gets steady company, routine, and attention all day. I grew up with large dogs and cared for over 100 different dogs over the past years together with my wife. I'm happy to accommodate various needs: multi-pet homes, senior dogs, anxious pets. I follow your feeding, medication, exercise, and sleep routines closely, and I send photo and video updates throughout the day. Let's start with a meet-and-greet. I'll learn about your dog's temperament, schedule, health needs, and preferences so I can give them the best care and give you peace of mind. Safety, trust, and your dog’s comfort are always my top priorities. Since I work from home, your pup is rarely left alone. I can provide a lap to relax on, extra attention or plenty of belly rubs and reassurance whenever needed. Your dog will stay in a calm, dog-proofed home with access to a community fenced play area and nearby hiking trails. Safety is always my highest priority: dogs are supervised, walks are always done on leash, and I follow feeding, medication, and care instructions exactly as provided.
“Xi was amazing! She was very communicative from the start and shared regular updates and photos, which we really appreciated. Charlie had such a great time with her and especially loved playing with Dun, their 4-year-old Golden Retriever. It was clear he felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We had a great experience and would absolutely trust Xi with Charlie again. Highly recommend!”
“Tracy really helped us out by accommodating our dog who was still healing from surgery. My husband also had long hours for work while the rest of the family was away. We are very happy to have found you. Thanks for taking such great care of our dogs!”
“Juan was absolutely amazing with Miles and his dog Odie is the most behaved dog I’ve ever seen. He was constantly in touch with updates and pictures and responded super quickly! He also returned my dog’s food bowl completely washed😭 so I would 100% him for whenever anyone needs a sitter as he really goes above and beyond. Miles came back completely drained from so many walks and playing with Odie and other dogs at the park!”
About: I like to think of myself as a dog whisperer! I grew up with many dogs and helped to train service dogs in high school. I work fully remote from home. I am able to take breaks throughout the day to give all the attention to our furry friends! I love to go exploring on the weekends and would love to adventure with, or pamper, your 4 legged bestie. I am a very responsible caretaker! Pets are family, I would never treat them any other way. Paying attention to little indicators can make a huge impact on relationships with pets. Dogs can tell us so much! I live in an apartment close to multiple parks that I walk to weekly.
“This was my second time booking with Karina. Bunny had a fun time with her. She is great at taking him on walks and sending updates. Appreciate it🙃”
“Grace made my pupper feel very comfortable even though he can be anxious in new environments! He seemed like he had a great time there, and Grace was very kind sending me updates throughout the day since it was our first daycare try out. Will be booking her again for daycare!”
About: 🐶About Me & My Experience with Dogs Hi! I have over 16 years of experience caring for dogs, specializing in small and medium pups only, so your dog will always be in a calm, safe, and stress-free environment. I’ve lived with dogs since I was a child and have always considered them part of my family. I’ve cared for a Poodle, a Chihuahua, and a Jindo-Retriever mix, and I currently have a small Chihuahua who is very precious to me. I moved to the U.S. from Korea with my dog, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pet. 💙 How I Care for Dogs I focus on providing a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for small or medium dogs I treat every dog like family and provide gentle, attentive care—just like caring for a baby. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, routine, and needs so they can feel relaxed and at home. 🐶 Small or medium dogs only (up to 19lbs) 🏡 Loving, clean, and cozy home environment 🫶🏻Care tailored to your dog’s routine and needs 📸 Daily photo & video updates for peace of mind 🫐🍎organic blueberries and apples as treats 🐾 Paw pads gently cleaned after every walk My goal is to make sure your dog feels loved, secure, and happy while you’re away. 🩵 Love, Attention & Cleanliness I treat every dog with love and careful attention, while also maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and hygiene. My goal is to create a clean, safe, and comfortable space where dogs feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for. 👟 We don’t wear shoes indoors, so your dog stays in a clean space at all times. 🐾 After walks, I gently wipe your dog’s paws with pet-safe wipes before coming inside. 🧼 Hygiene Care I pay close attention to bowl hygiene and water quality, as bacteria can quickly build up from saliva and food residue. Poor hygiene can lead to digestive issues, skin irritation (especially around the mouth and chin), and reduced water intake. • Food bowls are washed after every meal • Water bowls are cleaned daily before bedtime • Fresh water is provided multiple times throughout the day I believe proper hygiene is essential for a dog’s health, comfort, and overall well-being. 💧 Fresh, filtered water is provided regularly. During colder seasons, I prepare lukewarm water for extra comfort. 🥣 Water and food bowls are cleaned after every meal using baby dish soap, a distilled vinegar, or baking soda. ✨ Floors and surfaces are cleaned regularly, and I use a chemical-free steam cleaner along with carefully selected, low-toxin products like Attitude and Better Life to create a safe and hygienic environment for dogs. I care for every dog with the same level of love, attention, and cleanliness that I give to my own dog.

I’m available for boarding and daycare and try to be as flexible as possible. Feel free to reach out anytime—I’d love to learn more about your dog! I’d love to do a meet & greet first to make sure your pup feels comfortable🫶🏻 🐾 One Dog Per Booking I’m available for both boarding and daycare. Since I have my own dog at home, I only accept one booking at a time and care for one small or medium dogs (up to 20lbs) to ensure a calm and safe environment. When I lived in Korea, I cared for family dogs for over the years, so I’m very comfortable and experienced with dog care. Your pup will receive my full attention, a consistent routine, and plenty of love. 📍 My Space I live in a cozy apartment that’s well-suited for small dogs. To help protect their joints and prevent slipping, the living room is covered with baby play mats. There are designated potty areas and a clean artificial turf space behind the building for easy potty breaks. Nearby Woodin Creek Park is just a 5 minute walk away—perfect for daily walks, light runs, and extra playtime.
“Amy was amazing! She invited us into her home during our initial meeting and our pup immediately felt right at home. Amy took our pup to the dog park, gave him lots of cuddles, and ensured he received his meds in the evening. She sent us plenty of photos throughout the day and was so responsive to texts. We definitely plan to book Amy again! Thank you, Amy!”
About: I’ve raised my own Golden Retriever since he was 8 weeks old, so I have real daily experience caring for a dog through every stage of growth and routine. Through caring for him, I’ve become very familiar with feeding schedules, walks, exercise, playtime, grooming, and making sure a dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly love dogs and understand how important it is to treat them with patience, attention, and affection. I know that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I always try to make them feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I am home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can provide dogs with plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to take them out every 2–4 hours for walks or potty breaks, depending on their usual routine and needs. My neighborhood also has a nearby trail, which is perfect for walks and extra exercise. Since I am home most of the day, I can give dogs a safe, comfortable, and well-supervised environment. I am also available on weekends and holidays, which makes it easier to accommodate different schedules and last-minute care needs. I offer a clean, calm, and pet-friendly home where dogs can feel safe and comfortable. My home is non-smoking, located in a quiet neighborhood, and everyone in my household is very friendly and welcoming to dogs. We do not currently have any other pets, which can be a great fit for dogs who do best in a peaceful environment. We also have a yard for outdoor time, and I always prioritize supervision, safety, and each dog’s comfort. My goal is to make every dog feel cared for, relaxed, and at home.
“Zappy is fantastic!! Super communicative, which I really appreciate. Her dog is sweet and gets a long with mine very well, which helps his anxiety. My dog is always super stressed at drop off because he hates to be away from Mama, but after only 5 minutes, I get a picture of a happy and relaxed dog! I've definitely had sitters with whom he didn't relax and he always looked stressed/sad in pictures, but never with Zappy! She engages him in his favorite activity (fetch) and definitely treats him as if he were her own. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will rebook in the future.”

“Brooke is the absolute best caretaker for dogs! She's responsive, trustworthy, dependable, and continually provides top care to my puppy! She also provides thorough reports and pictures after every visit which helps reassure that your pet is in loving and responsible hands when you're away from them!”
About: I grew up raising/with English Mastiffs and had my own Cat, that I alone took care of, from age 6-18 as a teenager. I worked at my local shelter every Wednesday and Sunday for 8 years. I was trained to work with elderly dogs/cats, and special needs animals. I know how to give CPR to cats and dogs. I started to learn how to train animals and have just recently signed up to start taking courses through Rover to get certifications in training. I know how to administer medication, orally and by injection. I am a massive animal lover. I promise to take care of your animal and keep them safe as if it were my own children. I have 2 kids, ages 6 and 11. Both of whom are as much as an animal lover as I am. Your pet will be cuddled, played with, and taken on as many walks as you would like me to, or as much as they need, when they need too. I have a huge yard with a gated high 6feet high fence. I would love the opportunity to take care of them while you are unable to. I promise that your pet will be loved, and completely safe with me, for as long as you need. I promise your babies will have a loving home while they are with myself and my family. They will be taken care of with so much love and so much play. As long as your pet is in my home they will be in a loving, caring, secure home. My home is their home when you are away. ♡ They will have their very own vacation while staying with myself and my family! I'm currently a stay at home mom. I'm at home all day. If I need to leave the house, you pet will not be alone longer then 30minutes to an hour at the most. My kids are currently in school. Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 9am to 4:30pm. Wednesdays 9am to 3:30pmIf your pet is not good with children, then I'm more then happy have them stay with me while my children are at school or come to your home and do daily check ins and or walking. If your pet is good around children then your pet can stay with me at my home for as long as you need! They will be spoiled with so much love, as my children adore animals as much as I do. I'm here 24.7 all days of the week to help take care of your needs and your fur babies needs. Most of the time I am good and able to take requests on very short notice. I'm very flexible and able to work on different times and needs. Just let me know what you need from me and when you need it and I'll do everything in my power to make it work! I have a fully 6'feet high fenced yard. A huge backyard and a big front yard. Fully fenced all around my house including my front yard that has a gate that I can open and shut. If your pet wants to explore my frontyard, I am more then happy to shut the gate and let them smell all the smells. For the last night potty breaks, we always use the front yard as the backyard is to big and I can not see anything. The front porch light makes it so I can have a final play and potty break with them. If I have an errand to run and your fur baby has to be alone, I will never leave them alone longer then an hour at most but my families normal routine when we have a fur babies staying with us, is that either my husband or myself will stay home with them while one of us goes and runs our errands. I will ALWAYS be outside with them when they go out to play or go potty, so I can always keep an eye on them and make sure they stay safe and do not get hurt. If they want to relax outside and enjoy the sun, I am more then happy to stay outside with them. If they want to play, my kids and myself can be out there for hours when the weather is good/safe to play. Downstairs I also have a long hallway that we play fetch down when it is super hot outside or raining. So no matter the weather, we are always playing and having so much fun and exercise with the pets in my care. I have no pets of my own currently but I do accept 2 for boarding and I have doggy day cares. I only accept 1 doggy day care at a time which means I can have up to 3 dogs max. I have 2 children, aged 6 and 11. My children are very gentle, kind and caring. They love animals of all kinds. They are both animal lovers. I am a stay at home mom. Rover is my only job and the job I love the most. I am looking forward to walking, playing, cuddling, and giving all the attention I possibly can to your pet. I love doing boarding and doggy day care! I also would love a chance to come to your home to take your dog outside to go potty and/or for a walk, while also giving lots of cuddles,and play. If your pet comes to my home, know that they will be safe and unbelievably loved. Your animals are free to lay on my furniture if you allow it. I will do my best to make sure your dog keeps the same routine as they have at home but I do have children so it will not be perfect but I will do everything in my power to keep the same routine. I'm all for cuddles, games and love. Whatever your pet needs, I promise to give it my full attention and go above and beyond! If your pet loves children, then I can guarantee they will be unbelievably spoiled. I worked with elderly animals and special needs animals when I worked at my local shelter in Arizona. I hand raised puppies from the day they were born until they were able to eat on their own. I know dog/cat CPR and I am in the process of getting my certification for training through Rover courses. I look forward to this next step, and getting to love your pet just as much as you love them. I have had animals all my life. From age 4 to age 29. I'm currently now 31. I have hardwood floors, so if they have an accident, its not an issue. I live in a 2 story house with 5 stairs going downstairs and 5 stairs going upstairs from my front door. Your pet is free to roam the house. I can not wait to love your pet and give them all they need and more!
“Rachel has been wonderful with our dog, Hazel. She’s been taking Hazel on long weekday walks and has truly gone above and beyond. Hazel used to pull and get easily distracted on walks, which made them challenging, and Rachel immediately offered to work with her on loose-leash walking. In just a short time, Hazel has improved so much and is now walking calmly, paying attention, and doing great on leash. Rachel is incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. She sends thoughtful updates and the cutest photos, and Hazel absolutely loves her and gets so excited when she arrives. We’re so grateful to have found Rachel and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog walker.”
“Barbara did a fantastic job walking our dig when we could not. She was on time, adapted to our complicated schedule and was very caring towards our dog. We would definitely recommend her.”
“Had a wonderful experience with Mike! From the very beginning, he connected instantly with Hero, our 100-pound American Akita. He’s extremely reliable, responds right away, and sent us great summaries and pictures after the walks. We’ll definitely be reaching out to again— Thank you Mike!”
“Juniper is doing a great job walking our mini Labradoodle. Our pup is sometimes resistant to walking, but Juniper has worked with her and their walks go smoothly now. We also appreciate her clear communication and flexibility, and would recommend her to others!”
“Callaway was a great help while I was away on vacation by walking my boy, Keo. She was careful going in and out of our gate without letting Keo escape, which was what I was nervous about. I like how she provided me with some background information as well about herself over a FaceTime call and asked some questions about Keo before she took him out. She was respectful, kind, and efficient person. I could tell really cared about my boy, it was nice she sent picture updates while I was on my trip too!”
About: I absolutely love animals of all kinds and own a sweet 19-year-old cat named Jet. I've owned and lived with pets throughout my life. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and birds many times throughout my life. I have experience administering medications and love to play with animals. I look forward to meeting your furry and feathered friends! I am a 37-year-old professional swing dance instructor, classical vocal coach, and piano teacher. I received my Bachelor's degree in Choral-Vocal Music Education from Bob Cole Conservatory of Music at CSULB. I studied Molecular Biology for 3 years before deciding to pursue teaching dance and music. I work freelance, so my schedule is flexible to tend to pets' needs throughout the day. I have worked in a variety of settings, including restaurants, music halls, recording studios, summer camps, dance studios, tutoring, and babysitting. I enjoy classic movies, gardening, crossword puzzles, camping, and cooking. I rely on the client to set the ground rules for their own home and pets, and adhere to those guidelines. Every pet parent has a good feel for their pet’s needs and care, and I look forward to learning about each unique pet I get to care for.
“My dog fell in love with Maria during the Meet & Greet & would not leave her lap! This was my first time using Rover, combined with a health scare the day I left town, I was so nervous to leave him. Maria took great care of my baby & was an excellent communicator throughout the week! I loved the detailed reports on his health improving each day, & the adorable pictures & videos she included in his reports. Maria is so attentive & kind, I would highly recommend her to anyone!!”

Than I am free other than house projects around our home. At times we plan to travel, but trips are known way in advance. I have a big yard but it is not fenced, I do have a kennel I can setup at the back of my house with a covered area. I live close to Cottage Lake and would take your dog for walks down to the lake and around the trails.
“All year, twice per week, Hope has been a reliable caretaker for my dog. She’s consistent and communicative, and my dog loves her! I highly recommend her services. Thank you Hope!”
“Catherine was so extremely helpful with our reactive dog. She spent several hours working with Buddy, teaching us how to manage behaviors, keep his attention and develop trust. We will be asking Catherine to come back and work more on leash skills and recall. Thanks Catherine!!!”
“Miranda does such an amazing job walking our very large, high-energy puppy time and time again! She is so professional and reliable and sends the most detailed updates and photos. We highly recommend Miranda!”
“Our experience with Tiffany has been excellent. She is very punctual, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. We appreciate the regular updates and photos—it gives us a peace of mind during the day. Our dog Coco is anxious and gets nervous with when other dogs walk near by but with Tiffany, our dog has become less anxious and happy and well-exercised every time. A dependable and professional service. She is great with our dog. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve owned three dogs across nearly 10 years, including a Border Collie and a Poodle staying in China now. I have over five dog walking experiences back in China, sincerely love all pups and provide regular potty breaks plus daily photo updates for every boarding dog. I stay home most days in Kirkland with flexible free time. I’m fully available all weekends for boarding, and free most weekday afternoons, able to take dogs out for potty breaks every 2–4 hours regularly. I own a secure fenced backyard for dogs’ outdoor play. My two gentle spayed female dogs are staying in China now, I keep home pet-safe and send daily photo updates to owners for every boarding pup.
“Vera was punctual, kind, meticulous and the new best friend for our dog Max! She met up prior to walks to understand instructions and get familiar with Max, a 30lb hot dog/lab mix. She sends updates and pictures for the walk and sends calendar schedule to make sure we are aligned on dates. Vera is a very reliable and kind dog walker!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, growing up with Bernese Mountain Dogs, and now with two rescues! I've worked in an animal shelter with dogs of many sizes, breeds, and temperaments, so I'm skilled at socializing, walking, and playing with dogs with all kinds of personalities. I've also cared for a reactive dog of my own, which has taught me even more about canine body language and how to respond safely. With experience ranging from puppies to seniors, including medical and special needs care, I give every dog the patience, and love they deserve, as if they were my own! I currently have a hybrid position, and hoping to care for animals with my extra time! Due to remote work, my schedule is quite flexible and I'm available for boarding or check ins most days. When I’m caring for pets in your home, my goal is to make things feel as normal and comfortable for them as possible. I stick to your usual routines so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m attentive to their moods and body language, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re happy and cared for. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I’d want for my own, leaving it just as you left it. Happy to align with your needs!

“Candra was amazing!! She took such good care of my dog Dora, and provided several updates throughout her stay. She made sure she understood Dora’s needs, schedule, preferences, etc. I didn’t worry about Dora one bit because I knew she was having such a good time from the videos and pictures she sent me. Her kids and husband are awesome, and Dora was constantly entertained and had plenty of playtime throughout the day. I will 100% book with Candra again!”

We just moved to the area and our older rescue dogs are very moody and curious and we’re still adjusting to their new environment when we had to travel for the holidays.

Thank you so much for taking such great care of our little guys.”

They’re such a thoughtful, caring family and treated our coco like part of the family. They played with her, sent us pictures and videos, and kept in touch throughout our trip. It put us so at ease to see Coco happy and know she was in such good hands. We’ve already booked them to care for her on our next trip, and we’re so grateful to have found them!”

“We can’t say enough great things about Lisa! She has been our go-to dog sitter for a while now, and it’s clear every time we leave our pups that they are in the best hands. Lisa treats our dogs like her own—with the utmost care, attention, and love. What really sets her apart is how communicative she is. We receive daily updates (sometimes more!) with photos and sweet notes about how our dogs are doing, what adventures he’s been on, and how they are spending their day. It’s honestly the highlight of our day—we always look forward to seeing what they are up to, and let’s be honest, they always seem to be having a better vacation than we are! Lisa has truly earned our trust. We’re repeat customers for a reason: she consistently goes above and beyond. Whether it’s a walk in the park, a cozy nap, or playtime with friends, we know our dogs (frenchie and mini schnauzer) is not just being watched—they are being cared for and loved like family. Highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and communicative sitter. We can’t wait to see the next round of pictures and adventures she shares with us!”
“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!”
