“Leslie was great! She took great care of our girl! She sent us updates and pictures and was great with communication and flexible on pick up and drop off timing.”
“So appreciate Justin's care for Lucas for 5 nights. It's obvious he loves dogs, and wants to make sure they are comfortable and happy, which helped us enjoy the time away more. Justin was a great communicator and sent us regular photos and reports while Lucas was with him. We would recommend him as a good and reliable dog sitter. Thanks, Justin!”
“It was obvious to me Eileen is a dog lover. She and her husband usually only board one dog at a time and they took excellent care of my Shih Tzu. She also sent photos often. I highly recommend her.”
“My doggo had an excellent time with Jeniel. I’d send her there again in a heartbeat. She tired her out with lots of ball throwing, and showered her with love. Jeniel sent lots of photos, too.”
“Amanda was great with Sadie on our vacation! It was such a relief knowing she was safe and with a caring family! Amanda communicateed almost daily with me and sent photo updates while we were gone. Sadie got a surprise bath the day before we picked her up! We look forward to using her care in the future! Thank you for everything Amanda!”
“I am very happy with my experience! My dog stayed 2 nights with Heather, where I received many pictures and updates on how things were going. All was positive and seemed like a great time! Would book again!”
“I’m so thankful for Zachary and his wife! Our Luna has been a bit depressed since her stroke a few years ago but after coming home from doggy daycare with them she way spunky, happy, and is even spending more time outside with a smile whereas it was difficult to get her to enjoy much time outside before as she would want to go back into the house or wouldn’t leave the back porch much. I’m so happy to see her rolling in the dirt and playing now. This means the world!!! She requires a lot of care and they did an excellent job even wrapping her foot really well and keeping it protected. We will definitely be going back and I look forward to her having another fun visit in the future. Thank you both so much and we will see you soon!”
“Our pup had an amazing time while we were away for the holidays. We got updates and pictures the whole time and he seemed to be very comfortable and happy.”
“Our dog couldn’t have had a better time with Abigail and her family! We received constant updates, and they even worked in our dogs commands/ walking on a leash. We felt so comfortable having Ozzie stay there - We don’t think he wanted to come home! Great big yard for playing and their dog is a sweetheart. Couldn’t recommend Abigail enough!”
“We dropped off Ziggy for the weekend after a visit to the vet where we left with four medications, a cone and a bloody paw. Philip didn't flinch. (He was two minutes from where I was visiting my mom, so we could have been there if anything had come up.) We didn't get a lot of updates, but we came back to a dog who seemed happy, and better yet, hadn't been chewing on his paw. Highly recommend.”
“Our dogs had a great weekend with Georgia and her pet family. She sent us photos and videos of our dogs throughout their stay. We will definitely use Georgia again for our pet needs. Thank you!”

“Carly was so kind and quick to reply to me, including sending photos and updates on his health often. She had all his things collected and ready for me when I came to pick him up. We will be seeing her again someday!”

“Kate watched my dog for two weeks straight and was great to communicate with. She regularly sent me photos and updates to let me know that my dog was enjoying her stay, I will definitely consider using her again.”
“Tiana did great boarding our lab Sadie. She was very informative sending texts, videos and pictures daily of updates. Sadie was very happy when we picked her up which was great knowing she was well taken care of. I highly recommend Tiana boarding your pet!”

“Anastasiia was an amazing sitter for our cat. She provided lots of updates and photos throughout the day. She showed true competency, even for our kitty who has specific medicine needs. Best sitter we’ve ever used, by far!”
“Ashton and Shelby are responsible, caring and conscientious. They are great at communicating, and showed flexibility when I had a need for an extra visit. Knowing that they were truly caring for my animals helped me have the peace of mind needed to relax and enjoy my trip. I highly recommend them and will not hesitate to hire them again. My cats, rabbits, fish and plants were all well-looked after and I really enjoyed all the photos and updates!”
“My cat, Roxy, is often unfriendly, but she warmed up to Erica the minute she came in the door :) Erica took fabulous care of Roxy and I hope she will sit for me next trip!! Terry”
“Joy is a wonderful pet sitter!!! I was gone for 10 days and she sat with my cat. She not only sat with my cat she washed the towels and bedding that she used!!! Not something I’m used to in a cat sitter. She was also very informative!! I’d use her again!!!”
“Christina was wonderful with my cat! She went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for and comfortable. She was reliable, communicative, and kept me updated throughout. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was, and I would definitely trust her with my cat again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I love all animals and treat them all as if they were my own! I currently do not work-so my schedule is wide open and flexible to take care of all of your pets needs. I am open to walking, dog sitting and more! I have a dog to keep your fur baby company of staying in my home. I do not have a fenced yard but like to go for walks, and in park adventures.
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life and grew up with multiple cats, so I’m very comfortable caring for different personalities and temperaments. I’ve also cared for friends’ and family members’ cats while they were away, making sure they stayed on their usual routines and received plenty of attention and care. I understand that every cat is different—some are social and playful, while others prefer their space. My goal is to make each cat feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their pet is in good hands.
About: I won't just treat them as a "pet" I treat all animals as family. I have taken care of various dog and cats from family members and friends since I was a child. This included staying over, walking, feeding, training and playing. At the moment I am pursuing schooling for dog training so I have open availability I usually ask for a days notice but it never hurts to ask. I have had experience with larger dogs (German shepherds, Great Pyerenese, Pitbulls and Saint Bernards) as well as small dogs (Chihuahua's, Shih Tzu and Dachshunds). I also provide baths and nail trimming when asked. I enjoy running too so if your looking to get your dog in shape! If your pets coming to my house they must be crate trained (for when I sleep) and friendly with other dogs.
About: I have a deep love and appreciation for my fuzzy little friends and all that they have taught me. I have learned everything I can to support my own pets and maybe even yours! I know how to perform CPR on both cats and dogs. I am comfortable following care plans for senior pets. Trained to provide subcutaneous fluids to kitties. I am currently available Monday - Thursday, barring the occasional appointments. I work long hours over the weekends so I am unfortunately not available at all Friday - Sunday I am a big believer in routine, as I know my fur babies definitely have and prefer theirs. I am happy to stick as close to their normal routine as possible.
About: My first job was a at a doggy daycare/ boarding facility but I have been pet sitting since I was 12. I’ve worked with puppies all the way through seniors receiving cancer treatment. I have a playful golden retriever who adores all animals big and small. I have experience bathing and giving insulin to cats too. I volunteered at a rescue ranch for a number of years and have experience with livestock. I personally have ducks, chickens, reptiles and a senior cat as companions for my golden. I am currently working 3 days a week for a tax office and am unavailable from January to April. On my off days I hike and take my golden to the river. I have a contract that I have been using since 2010 that outlines my safety procedures. When I am in a clients home I always have them review it and do a walk around of the home with them. From my years at doggy daycare I am pretty familiar with certain breed characteristics like the awesome heights husky’s can jump or the tunneling ability of a weenie. I also am very understanding about separation anxiety as someone who has worked at rescues. For walks I require a harness or collar the dog cannot slip out of. I require an in person meeting beforehand, if doggy play dates with my dog are requested we must meet on neutral ground first to see how they interact.
“Jessica takes care of Mia very well when I was out for vacation. She will update when she is about to come and send pictures of Mia. Will book again since she lives in the same neighborhood”

“She is awesome! Had an emergency, she responded and was able to drop my 2 fur babies early in the morning. Great getting pics, videos and updates throughout the day! Very easy to work and communicate with also flexible which I appreciate! Thanks Jennifer and David! :)”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life from dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and I’ve had experience with goats, sheep, cows, geese, ducks, exc. I helped someone who had dogs that had puppies and that was challenging but an amazing experience. I’ve got lots of love and experience with all different dog breeds & temperaments. I currently have dogs, cats, chickens, and geese of my own! I am currently a stay at home parent to two kiddos. One is in school so most of my days are free. Tuesdays & Thursdays late afternoon/evening are blocked out as we have a prior commitment of gymnastics. I have a fenced yard at home but I do live in the woods and have some bit of land that is not immediately fenced off. I always keep a close watch on my pets daytime or nighttime and I would do the same for yours if they were at my home. I would follow the pet owners lead and what they feel is best for their pets at their own home and do my best to go above & beyond meeting the fur baby needs/owners needs.
“Stitch loves spending time with Abigail and her family. So much so that he is in no hurry to leave when I pick him up. It makes me a little jealous but at the same time let’s me know that he enjoys his time with Abigail.”
“We are from Seattle area so of course finding a sitter for our two dogs was a little hard for us. After going through many suggestions and profiles we found Justin. When we showed up to his place he took the time to get to know the dogs and showed us where they would be and his yard. They immediately took to him and couldn’t be happier. He wore out two high energy silver labs and sent us updates of how they were doing. Even on the second day when we dropped them off instead of chasing a squirrel they instantly went to Justin for another fun day. If you are ever in the area and need a sitter we definitely recommend Justin to take care of your fur babies and keep them happy.”
“Hannah is simply the best! She watches our pup every week but in addition to that she watched him so we could go out on a date night. She loves our good boy like her own and it is just wonderful! 🥰”
“Our pup stayed overnight and had a great time! We received photos, videos and updates on our doggo throughout the day. When we dropped him off he was excited & upon picking him up he was playing. We will be back!”
About: I love animals of all kinds and am happy to take care for your pets. Your dogs and cats will be loved and cared for like they’re my own. I know the area well and my neighborhood is very dog friendly and safe for walking. I have experience taking care of animals with anxiety and that are recovering from surgery. Thank you for trusting me with your pets, Please let me know any special requests or needs you have for your animals or home. Currently on a job search so I’m not sure of my daily schedule in the future, but I won’t be working more than 8 hours at a time and most likely only 30 hours a week. For house sitting and boarding, I will at home as much as possible, with the exception of running necessary errands. I’ll do my best to keep your pet happy and comfortable, and stick to your pets routines i.e. walks, play time, feeding time etc. (I sometimes board more than one dog at a time but only with your express permission of both owners)
“Cheryl was amazing! She took great care of our dog Shelby, was very welcoming to our family, was great with communication throughout the day with messages and photos, and we are so grateful for her doggy daycare. We would highly recommend Cheryl to care for your dog and we will definitely be seeking her services again. Thank you Cheryl.”
About: I’m from the Seattle area and I’ve been with Rover since 2018. In 2020 I got married to Micaiah my husband. When we married we added an additional cat to the family that belonged to him. So we have 4 cats. Before Rover I volunteered at PetsMart with Purrfect pals. One day a week I would help with cleaning, playing, and as a team member I helped cats find a furrrever home. My first cat in my life was when I was 8. I have always enjoyed pets and nature. So I decided to combine walking and dogs. Walks in the park or just around the block. I’m looking to be your new regular dog walker. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pets!! I’m also a very detail and observant person so walks, sittings, and daycare services would also have a description of how your pet is doing. I chart any different behavior or eating habits along with health concerns. Updates with photos would be a priority. I'd also ask for the dog's vet info and emergency contacts. Have a paw-some day! My schedule is flexible. I usually find clients prefer weekday schedule M-F routine for walks. This is my full time job! My time is your time! I’m very safety cautious. I will keep updates and photos on the pet regularly during the day. I also request the pet’s medical information and their vet clinic. I’m pretty flexiable with scheduling. I try my best to fit in the schedule my clients want for their pets. Only days I need off for two hours are Sunday and Thursday. For security and safety I please ask for NO GUNS OR SUBSTANCES in house. I want to feel safe in the environment same goes for your pets. Thanks! I’m making this a full time job. M-F. I’m flexible with the scheduling. I’m open to picking up and dropping off clients dogs. Dogs will have one of us home with them. I have a fenced yard and five cats. I rescued two which are a mom and her kitten. My three cats are fun to spend my day with as well. I have a senior cat that needs daily meds and I try all I can to keep them happy and healthy.
“Isabelle and Fred were both great taking care of my best friend. My dog got along perfectly with their dogs and I feel they were very thoughtful of how she might miss her human father. I highly recommend them.”
“We left Jack with Haley & Audriana while visiting from out of town. He had a wonderful time! The house is nice and in a nice neighborhood with a comfortable, fenced back yard that offered shade on a hot day. We will definitely look them up when we come into town next time!”
“Mimi and her family took such wonderful care of our Velzy girl! From the moment we met I felt at ease and so did our pup. Velzy had the best time with Chester and they got along great!Lovely home with the best backyard. We will MOST DEFINITELY be booking again and again and again. Highly recommended! Thank you Mimi + fam!!! 🧡”
About: We have dogs, snakes, and at rehabilitating a baby squirrel! We have kept many different pets for the past 10 years and love caring for all animals! Even the grouchy ones 😊 Our dogs eat at 12:30 and at 6:30 each day with frequent trips outside. They are friendly and we keep them trained to eat only out of their own bowls. Pet care is daily life in our home (with my spouse) and we both take pride in our relationships with animals I will frequently check for assent amongst pets to ensure safety and wellbeing. If animals need to be separated, we live in our finished basement and work upstairs, making it easy to both separate and engage with all the animals frequently. Any instructions will be religiously followed. I am getting my masters in behavior analysis so I am ALWAYS aware of the dynamics of our animals and animal guests!
“Wow! I am so happy for my pups that they got to spend their day with Patricia while I was at a wedding. It was such a good day for them. They got to play, run, wrestle, go to dog park 2x, sleep, eat, wake-up and do it all again, and again. Patricia also took 20 pictures for me to see them throughout the day. I’m also happy she got to be with them. I look forward to when they can spend their day with her again. Thank-you soooo much! 🙂Kari”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have always been the person friends and family trust to care for their pets. I have a Havanese named Pita who is my little adventure buddy. He’s 6 years old, about 16 lbs, and is a very friendly little guy who loves being around other dogs. I work from home, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, and won’t be left alone during the day. I live in a clean, tidy apartment right off the Centennial Trail, so we love getting outside for walks and fresh air. Whether your dog loves adventures, playtime, or just relaxing and cuddling, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved like they’re part of the family while you’re away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. Your pup will have plenty of company, attention, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. Pita and I already enjoy daily walks on the Centennial Trail, relaxing at home, and getting outside whenever we can, so your dog will be included like part of our normal day. I want every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me. I live in a clean, tidy apartment and always make sure pets are cared for in a calm and safe environment. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether they want to play, go for walks, cuddle, or just relax, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they need.
About: I owned and operated my own dog boarding and hiking business from 2017-2025 called Happy Tails On Trails, caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels. I regularly cared for multiple dogs at once and led group hikes, giving me plenty of experience managing different personalities and energy levels while keeping everyone safe, happy, and well exercised. Running my own business also taught me how important communication and trust are when caring for someone else's pet. I got to know each dog individually, communicate closely with their owners, and make sure their needs were met while they were in my care. I eventually closed my business after having my daughter and moving to the Valley, but my love for dogs and years of experience caring for them have never gone away. I'm excited to continue doing what I love by providing dogs with a safe, active, and loving home away from home! 🐾 My schedule is flexible, and I am home much of the day, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship. Typical Doggy Day Care Schedule: 🕕 6:00–8:00 AM — Daycare drop-off & settle in 🥾 9:00 AM–12:00 PM — Walk/hike, approximately 3–5 miles 💤 12:00–2:00 PM — Rest, water & downtime 🌿 2:00–3:00 PM — Potty break & supervised outdoor time 🐾 3:00–5:00 PM — Outdoor play, potty breaks & relaxation 🏡 By 6:00 PM — Daycare pickup The schedule may vary depending on weather, the dogs in my care, and the length of our morning adventure. I adjust activity based on each dog's age, energy level, and individual needs. My goal is for every dog to go home happy, well-exercised, and ready for a good nap! 🐾 My home is a comfortable, family oriented environment where dogs can relax, receive plenty of attention, and be part of our daily routine. I supervise dogs closely and take their individual temperament and needs seriously. Because we have chickens on our property, safety around poultry is especially important to me. I will need to know upfront, so I can keep them in the run if needed. I believe communication is a big part of good pet care. I want you to feel comfortable knowing how your dog is doing while you're away, and I'm happy to send updates and photos so you don't feel like you're missing out on everything they're doing!
About: Animals and animal care has always been my passion, I’m currently working towards getting my bachelors degree in animal science and zoology! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals and I’ve done a lot of rescue and rehoming! I love animals, from cats to fish, lizards and birds. I’m crazy about all of them. I’ve cared for babies and elderly of a lot of different species and I pride myself in always doing my best in taking care of all their needs. Ive got quite a few of my own babies at the moment but they’re all very friendly and adjust easily to new animals. I don’t currently work because I’m working towards getting my bachelors degree in animal science/zoology, so I’m home 24/7 to care for my own pets and school, I have two crate trained dogs, five cats, two frogs, two birds, fish, and a hamster, so I’m basically always cleaning and playing or training one or the other! While I live in an apartment, we have multiple fenced dog parks and ample walking area away from the roads for walkies with the dogs, my apartment is pretty spacious especially in the living room and animals are allowed around the whole apartment. If I were to watch your babies at your residence I would stick strictly to the rules you set for me and never overstep your boundaries or rules.

About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, and I always strive to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have a Golden Retriever and a German Shepherd mix, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds and high-energy dogs. I’ve also administered medications to my own dogs when needed and always follow care instructions carefully. Beyond caring for my own pets, I’ve looked after many friends’ and family members’ dogs while they were away. I also rescued one of my own dogs, which gave me experience helping an adult dog adjust to a new home, build confidence, and replace unwanted habits with positive behaviors through patience and consistent training. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your dog prefers a relaxing walk or an active adventure, I’ll tailor their care to their individual needs while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available most days for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. If I’m providing house sitting, I just ask for about two hours each day to care for and exercise my own dogs while my husband is at work. Outside of that, I’m committed to following your pet’s normal routine and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and any special instructions so they receive the care they’re used to. Whether we’re out on a walk or spending time at home, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, taking your dog for a walk, or house sitting, I’ll provide attentive, compassionate care while doing my best to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I’d also be happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: - Grew up in the country surrounded by dogs, cats, reptiles, chickens, and other farm animals my whole life. - I’ve house sitted for family friends dogs and plants - I highly prioritize communication and safety on both sides I’m very available at the moment as I just graduated. I am happy both to set up a reoccurring service or stay flexible from week to week over the summer. I can’t keep animals in my apartment, but I am physically and mentally capable of the challenges regarding pets like crates, leashes, exercise/play, differences in personalities, and minor discipline if wanted.
“Erica is a great dog walker! She is prompt and clear with all communication. She has a calm, quiet demenor, which allowed our dog to feel comfortable with her right away. We felt comfortable and confident leaving our pup in her care. You will not regret choosing Erica for all your pet care needs!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I love all animals and treat them all as if they were my own! I currently do not work-so my schedule is wide open and flexible to take care of all of your pets needs. I am open to walking, dog sitting and more! I have a dog to keep your fur baby company of staying in my home. I do not have a fenced yard but like to go for walks, and in park adventures.
About: I have owned and loved on numerous dogs my entire life. I can never remember a time when I didn't have a tail waggin', face lickin', life long companion. No special skills here, just a heart that overflows for all dogs. I am a newly retired school district worker. My true passion has always been in taking care of animals. I don't really travel and what a better way to spend my days I have a huge fenced yard and a walking trail right behind my house that I use on a regular basis. Your furry friend will be allowed to roam wherever and sleeping on the furniture will never be a problem.
About: Animal lover since I was little, I’ve had personal and professional experience caring for a wide range of animals. From reptiles, bunnies, guinea pigs, dogs, and my favorite-cats, I’ve seen it all. Aspiring to work in the veterinary world, I will always treat your fur(or scale!) friends as my own. Spending time with animals is truly one of my favorite things to do and seeing them happy and healthy is always my number one goal! I’m currently working a weekend position while trying to build pet care into my more substantial work. I am available quite frequently throughout the week, and I’m available on the weekends days, it will just be outside of whatever shift I’m working. Going on walks is something I try to fit into my personal life every day, being able to walk with your pups or checking on other animals is just an added bonus! My biggest thing is being aware. Animals, though adorable, aren’t the smartest. I try to be proactive by making sure the areas I’m in are always well-kept and safe for the animals. My second priority is keeping them on as much of their routine as they can, making your absence a little more manageable. I always like to make sure to spend quality time with everyone, do any consistent rituals that they have, and just stay consistent so not only are they safe, but they’re feeling the love.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I was 10 and I absolutely love walking dogs with my son he loves them so much! I’m a stay at home mom with my almost 2 year old so I’m free anytime for what you need. Even if it’s just to play with your fur babies! Your fur babies safety is a big priority for me so I will fallow all your rules and requirements to a T. I’m a very organized person so if you have a list of needs I’ll make sure to do it all.
About: As someone who works online, my hours are completely flexible and can be done most anywhere. I use this to my advantage as a pet-lover. It means I get to be surrounded by pets as much as I can, and as someone who cannot have their own dog, I cannot express how fulfilling and heartening it is for me to do so. I have also pet-sit for friends and family all my life. I truly love animals. I go in with this mindset: how would I want others to treat my home-space and my own pet? My aim is that you can travel with a peaceful certainty your pet will be showered with love and attention, and you don't have to worry. I genuinely love animals, and as an introvert, I spend most of my free time with them whenever I can. My schedule is very flexible. I make my own hours with my online work, and I am usually available for sitting anytime. My summer sitting schedule is open, and as a newbie to this site, I'm looking forward to doing a really good job at a reasonable starting rate. (So far I've had a great experience). I am responsible and extremely mindful of people's plans and expectations. I try to be as professional as I can, returning messages as soon as possible. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me and feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I am a creative arts teacher (working online) and I hail from Central Oregon. I have an MA in Myth and Psych, and I really like to travel and learn new things. platform. Animals are by-far my favorite thing, on par with painting and writing. My main passion is painting. I love experimenting with acrylic on canvas and I am trying to teach myself watercolor. I’m introverted and love to read and write. Animals, especially dogs, have my whole heart. I have always wanted a pet, but my love of travel has held me back. When not traveling, I'm a homebody. (In short, I’d probably prefer to hang out with your pet, rather than go out on the town..) I like to be cozy with books, tea, and walks in nature. I have a car, and I am flexible with my schedule. I want to accomadate the sensitivities and special needs of any household and/or pets, and I welcome anyway I can to make you feel more comfortable with me as your pet-trustee. Thanks so much for your time! At the moment, I do not care for pets in my own home. But if I get the opportunity I would put just as much care and compassion in that as I do as a walker/sitter.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals from dogs to cats, turtles and lizards. Neighbors and friends have found me to be a reliable and respectful sitter and I’ve enjoyed all my walks and park trips! I work part time and have a flexible schedule! I usually work early afternoon to five or nine and have off days during the week. I’m available to do walks or check ins the morning and then also in the afternoon/night as long as there’s still some daylight or good street light.
About: I’ve been hired to groom a good handful of dogs and a cat! I’ve lived with black Labs mostly but dogs of all sizes my whole life including senior-blind/diabetic-neglected-and puppies and love teaching basic tricks and catering to loves and dislikes to keep animals as comfortable and safe with me as possible! Currently I work from 2-10pm but am looking to do more independent gigs to open up more opportunities for clients on rover and to do school! I have 2 cats named maraschino and cherry and a large fenced back yard where my mom had previously over night done sitting through rover
About: Every since I was a kid I have been around animals. My grandma had 3 dogs and that’s where my love for dogs started. My roommate has relied on me multiple times to take care of her cat. I also have a lot of experience watching dogs for friends and family. My goal is to make the dog feel happy and get some extra love. I work in healthcare with a job that allows me to create my own schedule depending on my clients. I will always make sure your pet is fit in my schedule. With having an open schedule allows me to spend more time with your fur baby! I currently live in an apartment with roommates and two cat, so unfortunately I will not be able to board the animals at my place. But I’m available for all the other options. Look forward to getting to know your and your pups or cats! :)
About: I have a deep love and appreciation for my fuzzy little friends and all that they have taught me. I have learned everything I can to support my own pets and maybe even yours! I know how to perform CPR on both cats and dogs. I am comfortable following care plans for senior pets. Trained to provide subcutaneous fluids to kitties. I am currently available Monday - Thursday, barring the occasional appointments. I work long hours over the weekends so I am unfortunately not available at all Friday - Sunday I am a big believer in routine, as I know my fur babies definitely have and prefer theirs. I am happy to stick as close to their normal routine as possible.
About: My first job was a at a doggy daycare/ boarding facility but I have been pet sitting since I was 12. I’ve worked with puppies all the way through seniors receiving cancer treatment. I have a playful golden retriever who adores all animals big and small. I have experience bathing and giving insulin to cats too. I volunteered at a rescue ranch for a number of years and have experience with livestock. I personally have ducks, chickens, reptiles and a senior cat as companions for my golden. I am currently working 3 days a week for a tax office and am unavailable from January to April. On my off days I hike and take my golden to the river. I have a contract that I have been using since 2010 that outlines my safety procedures. When I am in a clients home I always have them review it and do a walk around of the home with them. From my years at doggy daycare I am pretty familiar with certain breed characteristics like the awesome heights husky’s can jump or the tunneling ability of a weenie. I also am very understanding about separation anxiety as someone who has worked at rescues. For walks I require a harness or collar the dog cannot slip out of. I require an in person meeting beforehand, if doggy play dates with my dog are requested we must meet on neutral ground first to see how they interact.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life from dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and I’ve had experience with goats, sheep, cows, geese, ducks, exc. I helped someone who had dogs that had puppies and that was challenging but an amazing experience. I’ve got lots of love and experience with all different dog breeds & temperaments. I currently have dogs, cats, chickens, and geese of my own! I am currently a stay at home parent to two kiddos. One is in school so most of my days are free. Tuesdays & Thursdays late afternoon/evening are blocked out as we have a prior commitment of gymnastics. I have a fenced yard at home but I do live in the woods and have some bit of land that is not immediately fenced off. I always keep a close watch on my pets daytime or nighttime and I would do the same for yours if they were at my home. I would follow the pet owners lead and what they feel is best for their pets at their own home and do my best to go above & beyond meeting the fur baby needs/owners needs.
About: Hi! Over the years I have proudly fostered independently and through Haus of Dogs, Operation Foster, Seattle Area Feline Rescue and Paws and Claws. I am currently a volunteer at SCRAPS. I can provide excellent references and I have experience with senior pets and pets on meds and supplements. I will be sure to make your animal feel loved and cared for. I know it's hard for them and hard for you to be away from them, so never hesitate to text or facetime. I will make sure your pets don't feel alone or abandoned, and that they get exercise, affection, and plenty of food, water, treats, pets, play time, and outdoor time. I understand how important it is to the well being of anyone to get those needs met. Can't wait to meet you! I usually work from home and never work long days away from home. I'm flexible and live in a very pet friendly building with support. I usually work from home and never work long days away from home.

“They accepted my booking on short notice and were very responsive when I had questions. Crystal sent photos and updates. I would definitely have them watch our dog again.”
“Leslie was great! She took great care of our girl! She sent us updates and pictures and was great with communication and flexible on pick up and drop off timing.”
“So appreciate Justin's care for Lucas for 5 nights. It's obvious he loves dogs, and wants to make sure they are comfortable and happy, which helped us enjoy the time away more. Justin was a great communicator and sent us regular photos and reports while Lucas was with him. We would recommend him as a good and reliable dog sitter. Thanks, Justin!”
“My doggo had an excellent time with Jeniel. I’d send her there again in a heartbeat. She tired her out with lots of ball throwing, and showered her with love. Jeniel sent lots of photos, too.”
“I am very happy with my experience! My dog stayed 2 nights with Heather, where I received many pictures and updates on how things were going. All was positive and seemed like a great time! Would book again!”
“I’m so thankful for Zachary and his wife! Our Luna has been a bit depressed since her stroke a few years ago but after coming home from doggy daycare with them she way spunky, happy, and is even spending more time outside with a smile whereas it was difficult to get her to enjoy much time outside before as she would want to go back into the house or wouldn’t leave the back porch much. I’m so happy to see her rolling in the dirt and playing now. This means the world!!! She requires a lot of care and they did an excellent job even wrapping her foot really well and keeping it protected. We will definitely be going back and I look forward to her having another fun visit in the future. Thank you both so much and we will see you soon!”
“Our pup had an amazing time while we were away for the holidays. We got updates and pictures the whole time and he seemed to be very comfortable and happy.”
“Our dog couldn’t have had a better time with Abigail and her family! We received constant updates, and they even worked in our dogs commands/ walking on a leash. We felt so comfortable having Ozzie stay there - We don’t think he wanted to come home! Great big yard for playing and their dog is a sweetheart. Couldn’t recommend Abigail enough!”
“We dropped off Ziggy for the weekend after a visit to the vet where we left with four medications, a cone and a bloody paw. Philip didn't flinch. (He was two minutes from where I was visiting my mom, so we could have been there if anything had come up.) We didn't get a lot of updates, but we came back to a dog who seemed happy, and better yet, hadn't been chewing on his paw. Highly recommend.”
“Our dogs had a great weekend with Georgia and her pet family. She sent us photos and videos of our dogs throughout their stay. We will definitely use Georgia again for our pet needs. Thank you!”
“Kara was absolutely AMAZING! Could not recommend her enough. She sent multiple updates with wonderful pictures, and communicated very very well. Both of our dogs felt so loved and cared for. She is so sweet and has a genuine heart 💗 thank you again Kara! Tater and Maggie miss you already.”
“Carly was so kind and quick to reply to me, including sending photos and updates on his health often. She had all his things collected and ready for me when I came to pick him up. We will be seeing her again someday!”
“Kelly was fantastic! She sent pics everyday and a small update or observation on our dogs . They were cuddled and cared for. She was very accommodating when had need to change the pick up time. I highly recommend her !”
“Cheryl was an expert caretaker to Luna and the other visitors to her home! I got frequent photo updates, and Luna made new friends (puppy and kiddo) in a kind environment. I'm beyond happy and look forward to placing Luna with Cheryl again.”
“Kate watched my dog for two weeks straight and was great to communicate with. She regularly sent me photos and updates to let me know that my dog was enjoying her stay, I will definitely consider using her again.”
“Tiana did great boarding our lab Sadie. She was very informative sending texts, videos and pictures daily of updates. Sadie was very happy when we picked her up which was great knowing she was well taken care of. I highly recommend Tiana boarding your pet!”
“Another great stay with Teri! We know Tucker loves staying at Teri’s because he is so excited when we get there. Teri is great about sending updates and Tucker always looks like he’s having a blast.”
“What a treat to have Chantel watch our girl!! Showed so much compassion and love. Just a joy to see pictures she sends daily showing the fun and active home she provides. Definitely recommend and will use again. Thanks Chantel!! Kianga thanks you also!”
“Samantha was absolutely amazing and exceeded my expectations. I had an emergency and she was able to take my 3 Basset Hounds within a couple of hours. They stayed with her for a week. My dogs were welcomed with open arms and treated exactly how they are at home- even getting to sleep in bed with her and snuggle time on the couch. She always responded to my messages within minutes, and sent me several updates, pictures, and videos of my babies every day. She also made sure to ask questions about habits, personalities, medications, feeding, etc. I was so scared to drop them off, but Samantha quickly eased my anxiety, making sure I knew they were okay and adjusting well. I cant recommend her enough. Ellie is hard to win over and within a couple of days I find out that she is following Samantha all over the house. A very impressive feat. She will be my first contact should I need to board my babies again. Thank you, Samantha for making a stressful situation the easiest it could have been, and for taking such good care of my girls.”
