About: As a pet owner I know the pain of trying to find someone who will care for your beloved pet the way you would while away. I know how hard it can be to find care for pets with regular exercise needs. I am not a professional kennel or dog training. I am a dog mom who will love your pets like they are my own and ensure they have all their needs taken care of while they are in my home. I’ve been around pets for most of my life. My family had pets growing up, and as an adult I’ve pet sit for family and friends for over 20 years. I finally became a pet parent myself in 2022 to a mixed breed cattle dog named Teddy Bear. It was love at first sight, despite our rough start due to issues from him being labeled as a lab mix. I’ve learned from experience that breed matters when it comes to ensuring your dog’s physical as well as emotional needs are properly met. We delt with behavior issues, as well as anxiety, and food issues as Teddy moved through his “teens”. I hired a private trainer only weeks after adopting Teddy, and to this day we still participate in a variety of group training classes through most of the year. Teddy is excellent at Nose work/Scent work and loves the mental stimulation. These training lessons have taught me a lot about patience when working with dogs as well as how to work with dogs on their own level and through their style of communication. Teddy passed the Canine Good Citizen Test at only 9 months old! My motto is you are always training. I use the skills learned in the years of lessons whenever I am around dogs and it’s made me quite popular at the dog parks. My dog goes to hunt bunnies, and I go to pet all the dogs that seem naturally to be drawn to me. I only accept the dogs from 1 home at a time. Your pets will be a part of my family as long as they are under my roof. My life revolves around my dog. Teddy is a fairly high energy dog and this means lots of physical and mental stimulation is required. So we walk everyday rain, shine, or even snow! Unless the weather isn’t safe to be outside, we walk. If your dog isn’t as high energy, that is ok. We typically go places your dog can rest and enjoy the smells while Teddy gets his energy out. I have a hybrid work schedule and generally am in the office Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 12-5pm. My schedule is flexible though so if I know I have to be gone in the evening, I change up my days in the office so I can be home with my dog during the day. I feed the dogs 2x per day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. I have a large fully fenced backyard, and a dog door so the pups can freely roam between inside and out. It’s a bit of a dogs paradise with lots of birds and squirrels roaming about for them to keep tabs on. I do have a medium-large sized crate for dogs that need to be crated. And feed everyone in separate spaces. The couch under my living room window is now permanently the “dogs couch”. Teddy is very good at sharing his toys and beds. There is an overabundance of dog beds throughout my house. My house used to be clean, but then I got a dog. The house now belongs to Teddy and I just live here among his beds and toys. Teddy is great with dogs of all sizes and most temperaments. I describe him as aloof but friendly. He can be playful in spirts if other dogs initiate, and while he loves being around other dogs, is very independent. The only exceptions to his easy-going persona are aggressive dogs, or dogs that have a higher than usual tendency to resource guard. For this reason I cannot except non neutered males as pretty much every instance of aggression we have come across was with a non neutered male. Regardless of size. My neighbors on 2 sides do have dogs as well. So your dogs would meet them through the fence. We have 4 legged friends over on a regular basis, and the neighbor dogs generally love greeting the new friends so long as they are not aggressive. I do allow dogs on my bed as long as I'm not sleeping. My experience has been dogs tend to lay exactly where my legs need to be. So, I usually kick them off just before turning off the lights to allow myself use of my own bed. But if your dog is happy to stay on the other side of the bed without trying to take over my side, they can stay.

“Brooke took excellent care of our cats and house while we were gone. This was our first time using Rover after our regular cat sitter backed at the last minute. I was really nervous leaving them with a new person, but Brooke did a fantastic job, and our cats were so well cared for we would definitely hire her again.”
“Rachel is awesome, very dependable and provides solid updates. She was very reliable and took great care of our 2 cats. She went above and beyond, eased our minds during our vacation and I couldn’t be more pleased with the care provided. Rachel is truly top notch and I highly recommend her!”
“Andi is very dependable and conscientious. She gives our senior cats great care, love and attention. They are both on medication and she doesn’t have any problems administering it. She is a good communicator and asks if she has any questions.”
“Kathleen was very responsive and did a great job watching our two cats while we were out of town. Even the shy one was comfortable enough to come out during her visit. Will definitely be using Kathleen again!”
“I've been working with Mike for quite some time now and he is great! Always responds quickly and takes good care of my kitties while I'm gone. I'd recommend Mike to anyone.”
“Saraswati was great! My cat, who is normally quite shy with strangers, even came out to see her. Although I didn't think I wanted picture confirmations, she sent pictures of the visit and it was really nice to see my little guy doing well. Thank you for taking care of him while I was away!”
“I had a really great experience with Juniper. Juniper took wonderful care of my cats, sent regular updates and photos, and made me feel very comfortable while I was away. My cats looked happy and well cared for when I got back home. Juniper even left a little drawing of one of my cats, which was such a sweet and thoughtful surprise. I really appreciated the extra care and kindness. I would absolutely book with Juniper again!”
“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!”
“Hope was wonderful. She took great care of our cat while we were away! We loved the daily updates and pictures as well as knowing she was enjoying attention and play time! The process was easy and worked out great! We will definitely use her services again!”
“Jessica was amazing doing drop ins for my two cats. She communicated extremely well regarding questions about their care, that I felt like they were in great hands while I was away. I have automatic feeders due to the cats being in strict prescription food and always worry the feeders will get off program but she was easily able to navigate them so the cats got the food they were suppose to. Her “report cards” for the drop ins and the pictures were reassuring that the cats were happy and well while I was gone. Would rebook with her and recommend her.”
“Amy took care of my 20 year old cat for 9 days and was wonderful! Amy loves animals and it shows in her caring nature and attention to details. Annie needs medication twice a day and lots of love and Amy provided this and more. She kept me up to date with pictures and texts and even a video with a speaking part for Annie. Annie looked great and no signs of stress when we returned. I will use Amy for any future travel plans as she is the best!”
About: I absolutely adore cats. My home is not complete without at least one cat running around. I currently have 3 cats: Tally & Koda are 2 years old, and we adopted them from shelters when they were both 1, and my lovely old man Nico who is 16 years old. Nico has a lot of dietary restrictions as well as arthritis, so I am no stranger to medication management and have plenty of tricks on making that as stress-free as possible. I am comfortable trimming nails, cleaning litter boxes, doing extended playtime, brushing coats, and many other daily activities that allow the cats the enrichment they need while offering you peace of mind.
“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.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since the day I was born, growing up with dogs, cats, and horses and learning from an early age how to care for them with confidence and attentiveness. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’m comfortable with all aspects of care, including walking, feeding, and administering medications. I treat every dog as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness. I particularly enjoy taking dogs on long walks, hikes, and to off-leash dog parks.

“Candra took excellent care of our 18 month old Goldendoodle for day boarding. She shared updates regularly, played with him and followed care instructions. Would highly recommend her and would utilize her services again.”
“Benji has a more extreme case of separation anxiety. During his first day care stay with Claudia, he was rolling around and enjoying himself. She read him so well with his interactions with a fellow pup. After the initial encounter which was a little too high energy for him, he adjusted and was having the time of his life. I have never seen him sync in and be so comfortable on a first stay with a new sitter. We will be back!”
“We were visiting our son in Seattle, and needed a safe place for our pup to go while we did some non dog-friendly activities. This was a last minute booking, but Tunyi graciously agreed for us to have a meet and greet and determine compatibility. Our dog was a bit nervous, and showed a little aggression when she first met Tunyi’s dog and the other Rover guest. After a few minutes everyone calmed down, and we were assured that our dog would do fine with them. We received photos and videos throughout the day showing that our dog was doing quite well. We enjoyed a wonderful day, and believe she did as well. We would not hesitate to use Tunyi again, and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Xi did an absolute amazing job watching our little Bubu! Bubu has stayed with her and always has the absolute best time. Every time we drop her off, we know she’s in great hands. Xi is incredibly responsible, attentive, and always keeps us updated with the cutest photos and updates. It’s such a relief to see Bubu so happy and relaxed. We couldn't ask for a better sitter and will definitely keep booking with Xi!”
“Aina and her family were amazing! We needed to have someone watch out 13 year old little dude for a few hours at the last minute and they jumped right in to help (which we are truly so so appreciative of!) I don’t leave Bobo often with others, but Aina was so incredibly kind and welcoming! She sent us so many pictures and it really helped us feel connected and at ease. We would definitely not hesitate in having her watch Bobo again! Thank you!!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of Pepper. She doesn’t have many opportunities to stay with families. I can see by the photos she was enjoying her stay.”
About: I have owned and cared for pets for all of my life but it’s been a big part of my life over the last several years. Friends have dropped off pets at my home on 1.5acres, close into Woodinville. My own pets are very, happily socialized to enjoy visiting pets. There is a large fenced, fully landscaped yard to wander and always attention, pat’s and treats to go around. I will be working part time so no more than a few hrs away from the home a couple days a week. Fun times ahead! I have a large, fenced yard and a monitored doggy door to allow for potty brakes and free roaming. My dogs are well socialized and a little on the older side so tend to just hang out during the day.
About: I bring a lifetime of experience in caring for animals and live on 10 acres of wooded pastures with 3 horses, dogs, cats, and a house rabbit. My personal pack of four rescue dogs get along well with any new dog I introduce to the family. I have been fostering dogs for a local rescue organization for several years, gaining hands-on experience with many breeds and ages of dogs. I specialize in puppy care and training and have successfully provided basic training and care for numerous foster dogs. I have experience caring for elderly dogs and am skilled in giving medication and insulin. This is an all inclusive experience for dogs! Here your dog will enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor playtime in my private dog park which offers a peaceful setting away from any traffic noise. This is true farm privacy with a ten acre buffer and plenty of natural enrichment including a natural creek, pond, and wooded pastures. Dogs will have opportunities to participate in activities like sniff walks, barn exploring, and pack walks. For puppies I keep them on a schedule for potty training, socializing, and naps. Additionally, I have a dedicated small dog area and small dogs get to enjoy couch time in the evenings! All activities are included for the boarding price. If you desire an exit bath before your dog goes home please let me know. 🐾 I enjoy working on agility training with one of my dogs who is very athletic and to expand my training knowledge, I continue to work with local dog trainers. Beyond my work with animals, I raised two children and dedicated 18 years to volunteering in our local school district, where I passed multiple background checks and supported various programs and events in schools and classrooms. My property is quiet and away from any traffic yet located just a mile from a major highway making it easy to get to for drop off and pick up! I am home everyday and spend most of my time with the animals in my care. I am happy to be flexible on timing for drop off or pick up windows and can pop in for drop in visits to give you a helping hand. In my home pets will be fed twice a day and have off leash time to relax or play with friends. If they are crate trained they will have their own crate to retreat to and dog beds to rest on. My dogs enjoy meeting new friends and provide a comforting pack to show new dogs the ropes. Outside, I always work on name recall with new dogs on leash and when they get to know me they will have supervised off leash time. Additionally, your dog may enjoy a walk to our horse barn and discover a world of sensory enrichment for their nose! In your home I can play with and feed your kitty or your pups and provide any care they need and can feed on the schedule that you request.
“It was such a pleasure to leave Bunny with Karina. Bunny loves outdoors and she made sure he had a lot of outdoor/walk time. She was flexible about my drop off time of 6/6:30am- that was specially helpful on a work day.”
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 20 lbs) 🏡 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.

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.
“Yen was able to pick up my last minute request and our puppy had the best time! I really appreciated the care and amazing communication. We loved the updates and photos, especially since it was our first time. Will definitely be back and recommend! Thank you!”
“I can’t recommend Rachel enough. Our baby was so well cared for. She gave us updates and sent so many adorable photos. Next time we need a sitter we are 100% going with Rachel and Bruce!”
“I've actually been here before to use their backyard for fetch. It was a great surprise that my dog has some familiarity. Knowing that my dog has a love for fetch, Fiona's family took time to play fetch with him. He even knocked out later in the day. Along with the photo updates throughout, I really appreciated the time and effort they took to make sure my dog felt fine without me.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 12! I absolutely adore all animals. I have experience raising a puppy and have taken care of pets for many neighbors and friends! I’ll be sure to send you lots of photos of your fur babies and support them in their stay however they need! I’m available for boarding after 5pm on Thursday till Monday evening! I can take them out as many times as they need and give them constant love and attention! Taking care of your fur baby will be my top priority! I have an apartment with no other pets, so your fur baby will be the focus of my attention! I keep my apartment very tidy, quiet, and safe for pets. My hope is to make them feel right at home and to make their time away from you as easy as possible.
“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.
“Super thorough with communication, sent tons of photos, and definitely gave my boy the royal treatment! They did a great job of managing Fuller’s energy and when I picked him up I could tell he had a ton of fun!”

“Renee took my dog for a couple of walks recently and was a pleasure to work with! She was very friendly, accommodating and great with communication. Will definitely use her in the future as the need arises! Highly recommend!”
“Andi was extremely responsive and easy to work with for my last minute dog walking booking! Andi was great with my dog Maddy, and I would definitely book with Andi again.”
“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.”
About: I have a special place in my heart for dogs! I’ve been around dogs since I can remember. I have taken care of many animals for my own family and friends.

About: I’ve spent the last four years taking care of pets for neighbors, family, and friend. I have built up knowledge about pets and their unique needs.

I’m very flexible with my schedules and availability I strictly follow the rules and instructions given to me by the pet parents. I am capable to administer medicine and crate animals if need be
“My dog has been very excited to go out on walks with Brooke and has been able to improve her stamina in her old age :-) Brooke is very communicative as well, friendly, takes awesome pics and really loves the dogs she takes care of. Highly recommend!”
“Juniper did a wonderful job with my dog Peach’s first walk! She took the time to meet with us a day beforehand to learn our routine and asked great questions. Her summary of the walk was well detailed, and she included some great pictures! Peach is nervous around strangers, and Juniper did a great job being aware and thoughtful of that. Overall Juniper was lovely to deal with and I feel great about trusting her regularly for walks with Peach.”
About: Experienced dog bather, sitter, and owner. I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, etc. Although I will not cut hair, with my grooming experience and with a willing dog I can trim nails and bath if needed. I have a dog park down the street if that is a part of your dogs routine. I have a large availability if sitting is needed for multiple days. I work 2 days a week but am flexible. I will be able to take on multiple day sitting with minimal time away from your dog/home. I understand dogs with specific needs and instructions. My pup is also particular, so please dont be afraid to let me know your needs and I can work with you to give your pup the best experience. I dont have a fenced in yard but I do live very close to a fenced in dog park, as well as walking trails directly next to me. I have a large car with a dog seat cover in the back if I need to take your pup to bark at the park. I prefer to dog sit in the clients home where the pup will be most comfortable but am willing to watch in my own home if its the right fit.
About: I had a corgi until I was 12 years old who I fed, walked, and played with for much of my childhood. I also have frequently walked my neighbors’ dogs and gone over to feed/watch them when they aren’t at home, including when my neighbor’s golden retriever was still a puppy, although I am also capable of handling big dogs too. I have always loved animals and, especially as an introvert, getting to hang out with them all summer is something I am more than happy to do! I am currently back home for the summer until around mid August, and this is the only form of work I’ll be doing while I’m here. Any activity I want to do is something that can be done at more or less any time, meaning my schedule will be very flexible and able to cater to what you need. I make sure to give the animal as much space as needed before jumping straight in. Some pets are more reserved and it can be tough for them to get used to a new person in their space, so I like to make sure I meet them where they’re at. I ask the owner any questions I have both in advance and also while they’re gone if something comes up. I like to be prepared and know where everything is and how to deal with any situation that might occur, so open communication is something I really strive for.
“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!”
“Claudia came through for me at the last minute when everyone else I talked through in Rover fell through. She was attentive and communicative throughout and had the perfect energy to match my dog's. It is reassuring to know that there is someone trustworthy to reach out to in the future.”
“Beverly and Sterling are knowledgeable, patient, and dependable. I have two rescue dogs I feel very protective of, they were very supportive and helpful getting both owner and dogs comfortable. They clearly have a passion for dogs, that matters to me. And my dogs love them!”
About: With over 25 years of experience, I offer more than just pet sitting - I bring expert care tailored to each animal's needs.

I'm especially skilled with high-anxiety pets (and their parents!) and provide a calming, trustworthy presence. I treat every animal like they're my own, because they deserve nothing less. As a graduate student, my schedule is flexible and thoughtfully managed. I intentionally balance my academic commitments to ensure I have ample time and energy to provide consistent, high-quality care. Pet sitting is not just a side job, it is a meaningful part of my life that brings me joy and grounding during my studies. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, structure, and love. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, clean environment with plenty of snuggles and attention. I have a secure, small backyard perfect for supervised potty breaks and fresh air. I'm comfortable with crate training and can support routines that involve crates, structured feeding and rest time. In your home, I aim to keep your pet's routines consistent and stress-free. I follow schedules, exercise needs, medication routines, and behavior plans closely.

About: As a pet owner I know the pain of trying to find someone who will care for your beloved pet the way you would while away. I know how hard it can be to find care for pets with regular exercise needs. I am not a professional kennel or dog training. I am a dog mom who will love your pets like they are my own and ensure they have all their needs taken care of while they are in my home. I’ve been around pets for most of my life. My family had pets growing up, and as an adult I’ve pet sit for family and friends for over 20 years. I finally became a pet parent myself in 2022 to a mixed breed cattle dog named Teddy Bear. It was love at first sight, despite our rough start due to issues from him being labeled as a lab mix. I’ve learned from experience that breed matters when it comes to ensuring your dog’s physical as well as emotional needs are properly met. We delt with behavior issues, as well as anxiety, and food issues as Teddy moved through his “teens”. I hired a private trainer only weeks after adopting Teddy, and to this day we still participate in a variety of group training classes through most of the year. Teddy is excellent at Nose work/Scent work and loves the mental stimulation. These training lessons have taught me a lot about patience when working with dogs as well as how to work with dogs on their own level and through their style of communication. Teddy passed the Canine Good Citizen Test at only 9 months old! My motto is you are always training. I use the skills learned in the years of lessons whenever I am around dogs and it’s made me quite popular at the dog parks. My dog goes to hunt bunnies, and I go to pet all the dogs that seem naturally to be drawn to me. I only accept the dogs from 1 home at a time. Your pets will be a part of my family as long as they are under my roof. My life revolves around my dog. Teddy is a fairly high energy dog and this means lots of physical and mental stimulation is required. So we walk everyday rain, shine, or even snow! Unless the weather isn’t safe to be outside, we walk. If your dog isn’t as high energy, that is ok. We typically go places your dog can rest and enjoy the smells while Teddy gets his energy out. I have a hybrid work schedule and generally am in the office Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 12-5pm. My schedule is flexible though so if I know I have to be gone in the evening, I change up my days in the office so I can be home with my dog during the day. I feed the dogs 2x per day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. I have a large fully fenced backyard, and a dog door so the pups can freely roam between inside and out. It’s a bit of a dogs paradise with lots of birds and squirrels roaming about for them to keep tabs on. I do have a medium-large sized crate for dogs that need to be crated. And feed everyone in separate spaces. The couch under my living room window is now permanently the “dogs couch”. Teddy is very good at sharing his toys and beds. There is an overabundance of dog beds throughout my house. My house used to be clean, but then I got a dog. The house now belongs to Teddy and I just live here among his beds and toys. Teddy is great with dogs of all sizes and most temperaments. I describe him as aloof but friendly. He can be playful in spirts if other dogs initiate, and while he loves being around other dogs, is very independent. The only exceptions to his easy-going persona are aggressive dogs, or dogs that have a higher than usual tendency to resource guard. For this reason I cannot except non neutered males as pretty much every instance of aggression we have come across was with a non neutered male. Regardless of size. My neighbors on 2 sides do have dogs as well. So your dogs would meet them through the fence. We have 4 legged friends over on a regular basis, and the neighbor dogs generally love greeting the new friends so long as they are not aggressive. I do allow dogs on my bed as long as I'm not sleeping. My experience has been dogs tend to lay exactly where my legs need to be. So, I usually kick them off just before turning off the lights to allow myself use of my own bed. But if your dog is happy to stay on the other side of the bed without trying to take over my side, they can stay.
“Fantastic pet sitter, especially for our elderly dogs! Rachel is so attentive to our pups even with their medical needs. We felt 100% confident leaving them in her care. Thank you, Rachel!”
“Justin was a godsend! He took our puppy off our hands at the last minute and gave her lots of love and has a great apartment for pets. She got lots of walks and dog park play and we are just thrilled to have found Justin!”
“Piotr had a great time staying with Liz! She is very detail oriented when asking questions about our furbaby. Anything that could help her get to know him and aide her in giving him the best care tailored to him. She even sent us pictures and updates on what they were up to, which I genuinely appreciated. She also has a plethora of different toys and stimuli to challenge him mentally as well. He came home with two new tricks, shake/high five AND hide and seek with a stuffed ball! I can't wait to keep working with the foundation she was able to lay with him. Thank you for treating our little boi so well, I look forward to having you watch either or both our pups in the future.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter during such an important time in our lives! Qiaohui took amazing care of our dog while we were busy with our wedding. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in safe, loving hands. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which meant the world to us during such a hectic weekend. Our pup came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly very loved. It gave us so much peace of mind to know he was being treated like family. We’re so grateful to Qiaohui for going above and beyond—her kindness, flexibility, and genuine love for animals really shone through. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate pet care!”
“My dog cooper loves to Stay at Amy and Shelby's house. He loves playing with their dog, Kona. Every time I mention Kona's name, Cooper gives me a hug and runs for the door ready to go there. My dog does better staying with other dogs and I am grateful to have Amy!”
“Kelsey and her family are amazing! They cared for my dog as though he were their own. I could tell that he quickly felt comfortable and settled in which usually takes him a little while. I appreciated that Kelsey did a meet and greet beforehand and took the time to make sure Murphy’s transition was smooth. They even included him in their family Easter celebrations and sent updates every evening with pictures! I 100% will be utilizing their services again; I brought home a very happy, tired dog! Thank you so much!”
“Mike looked after our little dog Loki on short notice, so that we could make it to a family memorial across the country. Loki can be out of sorts in a strange environment (he’s pretty set in his familiar routine), but he did really well in Mike’s care! We’re glad we were able to find such a safe and comfortable environment for Loki while we were away.”
“Xi is a dream! I am so comforted when my pup is in her care. Her golden boy is a wonderful companion and the whole family is kind and happy to have a new dog in their home. I love that Xi takes the time to get to know my dogs behavior and schedule. The communication is top notch. Top that off with Xi's amazing photo and video updates! Always a great experience!”
“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!”
“Lin was wonderful! She took amazing care of Shelby and I felt so fortunate to have found her. Shelby got plenty of love, exercise, and playtime with Lin and her family. Thank you for taking such good care of our girl!”
“Once again, Barley was provided excellent care by Sarah and family. He's an old guy and they kept a close eye on him, gave him some extra help with walking when needed. This is a loving home offering compassionate care and we highly recommend them.”
