Personalized care for your dog or cat - Dynamite
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Dynamite
“What a treasure we found in Eileen and Jeff! We could not have asked for better caretakers for Tater! In addition to the obvious criteria we considered when trying to find a sitter (clean home, fenced yard, proximity to the airport etc), we were looking for a sincere love of animals…and Eileen/Jeff provided that by the boatload! Over the course of Tater’s stay, Eileen posted multiple pics of Tater at play or being cuddled. He couldn’t have been happier or in better hands. We have already booked his next visit. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Eileen and Jeff to anyone seeking a warm and loving environment for their fur-babies.”
“My dog Lyla‘s first visit and stay with Emily for the week and everything went great! She is extremely attentive, caring, and feel my dog as well cared for and Lyla had fun socializing with the friendly dogs that stayed there as well! It all put me very much at ease and I loved getting all the photos she sent!”
“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.”
“We are so thankful for May's exceptional care of Ava. She sent us daily photos and updates, took Ava on multiple walks, and was patient with her "retrieving" tendencies. Knowing Ava was so well taken care of made our vacation stress-free. We will definitely book with May again!”
“Our dog, Roscoe, had a great stay with Crystal and Michael! Crystal was very communicative and sent photos and videos. I was particularly encouraged because Roscoe has tended to have stress colitis when boarded which caused diarrhea. His stomach was FINE with Crystal which tells me he wasn’t stressed and he seemed genuinely happy. I will definitely book with them in the future.”
“Taylor was an amazing dog sitter!! It was my first time leaving my 9 month old puppy but with all the pictures and communication that was provided really helped me be at ease. The pictures really helped reassure he was having the best time and was adjusting well. My doggo was well exercised and had the best time hanging out with her pup Kovu! I would definitely rebook!”
“Alton and Valerie were super Rover Hosts! Our mini goldendoodle received so much love and care from the entire family and enjoyed playtime with their pup as well! They were great communicators, sent daily photos, and were extremely accommodating with us for drop off and pick up. We will definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving place for their dog to stay!”
“My dog had a great time with Taylor and her family. Taylor sent regular updates to let me know how Nova was doing. I will definitely be using her service again. Having other dogs for Nova to interact with made the stay alot easier. There is already an established pack and it made Nova take a less in charge attitude.”
“Amanda was great with our sweet shih tzu! She was prompt with getting back to us and always kept us updated on our pup while we were away. She was even freshly bathed when we picked her up. I highly recommend Amanda!”
“Seemed attentive to dogs and communicated very well with us which was appreciated. We do think her rates are high though, and she takes multiple dogs at once.”
“Maddie loved her stay with Brooke. We appreciated all the love and attention that Brooke gave to our pup while she was staying with her. The daily pictures and updates we received were reassuring that Maddie was enjoying her vacation too. We will definitely be booking a stay for Maddie again.”
“Cheryl was great with our two doggies! I always get anxious leaving them with someone new, but she kept me updated on how they were doing and sent lots of pictures! They looked right at home and happy. I would definitely use Cheryl again for our next trip!”
“Oscar spent a few days with Heather and was clearly well looked after, relaxed and happy. The communication was great and it's always nice to receive pictures and updates—I can only recommend Heather and would happily book with her again. Cheers!”
“We are so glad to have found Ellie. We had a couple of play dates before this stay so our dogs and her dog would be familiar with each other. Our dogs are so happy to see her and sad to leave. Ellie takes great care of our three dogs and we are grateful to have found her and that she will care for all 3! Will definitely have our dogs stay with Ellie again and would recommend.”
“Mandy did a great job with my dog Harley. He was loved and adored and I got lots of photos to keep me updated how he was doing. He was very happy and calm when I came to pick him up as well. In addition, she was very sensitive to his special needs as a senior dog. I would highly recommend her!”
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.
“As always Louise is so wonderful to work with. Scout enjoys his time with her and we rest comfortably knowing he is so well taken care of. I couldn't ask for a better person to trust our little guy with!”

“Sidney is great and she took the time to take care of our little bird Pendleton when there was a problem getting into our home, but she stated and got the job done. I would be happy to have her take care of Pendleton any time.”
“Audrey took great care of my family’s two cats while we were away on vacation. She was prompt, communicative, followed directions, and let me know of behavior changes right away. I plan to book her again for our next vacay!”
About: Throughout my life, I've handled the birth and growth of numerous litters of kittens and played a key role in their care and early training. I have a comprehensive understanding of cat behavior and needs, as I've always found it easy to connect with them.
“Jenn was amazing! This was our first time leaving our cat alone, and I was so nervous. During the Meet & Greet, seeing how genuinely caring she was, and how well she interacted with him, put our minds at ease. She took excellent care of him, and we looked forward to her daily updates. She's definitely our top choice for pet sitting.”
“Mallory did an amazing job taking care of our two kitties while we were out of town this week! They were very well taken care of and loved while we were gone. Definitely recommend booking with her!!”
About: I petsit for my neighbors often, and they have a shy and nervous cat named Aurora. She was skittish the first few times I came around, but warmed up to me quickly and ended up following me everywhere and constantly wanting attention.
About: I have owned lots of animals in my 30 years of life and currently have one very special 9yo mutt who is my world. I have experience with medical issues and am comfortable giving medications and caring for ill, injured or aging animals. I am also an avid walker! I adore kitties and am not bothered by the spicy ones. I had several cats growing up and have lived with or sat many more as an adult. My schedule is a bit random right now, but I have some flexibility that I'm hoping to maintain and will typically have the same schedule every week. I can't have dogs in my home since my dog doesn't always get along with others. He does great with cats, though, and has lived with 4 without issue. So I'm happy to host a cat as long as the cat is alright with dogs! My dog is very wary of cats and mostly just ignores them. I have multiple rooms in my apartment and would separate them when I'm away just as a precaution. I am happy to do home visits and have reliable transportation for such, but I would prefer not to do overnight stays so that my dog isn't alone :)
“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!”
“Emily came for a drop in visit for my cat. She was wonderful, very professional and thorough. I am sure Buttercup was happy to have a little love while we were gone. Thank you!”
“Yana was absolutely wonderful! I got so many great pictures and updates throughout my elderly cats stay, she took such fantastic care of her it made my heart so happy! She is going to be my go to girl from now on! If I could give her more stars, I would!”
About: I’ve grown up with a wide variety of pets and have been missing hanging out with furry friends since moving into my dorm this year. I have experience both owning and looking after pets at every age, from puppies to elderly dogs (who will forever be puppies in my heart). I’m also experienced with giving dogs medicine. Pets hold a special connection with us and they deserve the best most attentive care during their whole lives. I am a senior in college so my schedule is relatively relaxed. Typically my days consist of no more than 2 in person classes, giving me time in the mornings and evenings either before or after class. Though I cannot offer housing myself I can easily look after your pet in the comfort of their own home. I always request meeting with you prior to sitting in order to become accustomed to your style of pet parenting and insure I am able to give your pets the exact type of care they need. This can range from regular walks, feedings at specific times, or even just spending time with an anxious pet. I will always do whatever possible to make your furry friend as comfortable and happy as they can be!

“Taylor openly accepted my dog Dawson at doggy daycare. We had open and honest communication regarding this tendencies and behaviors which can be a struggle. She made me feel comfortable and secure with her daycare operation. I could tell he was a happy camper by the picture updates and his demeanor when I picked him up. This was a fantastic experience for both my dog and I and I will be utilizing her in the future.”
“Yana and her daughters were great with Puppet. Yana was very responsive to texts, and asked a lot of good questions beforehand to be prepared for Puppet's arrival. Dropoff and pickup were easy as Yana was waiting for me outside of her house and ready to go. I will definitely choose Yana again if my dog needs care!”
“I had an exceptional experience with Amanda and Justin. My wife and I were visiting Spokane for three days during a heatwave, and needed daycare for Casey. They did a terrific job, especially introducing Casey to their larger dogs and communicating via text and the Rover app. We felt completely comfortable leaving Casey in their very capable hands.”

“Sarah is THE BEST dog sitter! Kind, considerate, detail oriented, great communicator. She took care of my pup Piper during the day for a few days while I was in town to watch a volleyball tournament, and I couldn't be happier with how it worked out. I really appreciated the status update text messages that Sarah sent from time to time, and it was abundantly clear from the pics she shared that Piper was totally comfortable and really enjoying her time there. Also -- a big shout out to Sarah's pup, Sully, for sharing his home and his mom with Piper for a few days! He was a great host and he & Piper got along very well. I would hire Sarah again in a heartbeat if/when we visit Spokane again!”
“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 had my own dogs for my entire life, but started pet sitting 4-5 years ago. I love to spend time with animals, and do great with dogs/cats of any ages! I am currently a college student, and have a pretty open schedule! I can be flexible to fit whatever needs that your pet may have. I follow any instructions/rules that clients have for their own households. I will happily let dogs sleep in bed with me, but also know many dogs prefer their own crates/spaces.
About: I’ve had dogs of my own since I was a kid. I currently have three dogs, one being a chihuahua puppy, so you can imagine the trouble they all get in. I also petsit for my neighbors two dogs and cat often! I’m currently finishing up high school in my senior year, and I’m enrolled in Running Start at Eastern Washington University, so I have a very flexible schedule. I only have one early class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and two day classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Quality time with pets is so important! Making sure hyper dogs get exercise and enrichment is a basic goal while petsitting. I also water plants, clean up, and feed pets, along with taking them on walks when requested.

About: I am an animal mom of several years of cats, dogs. I have two cats and I did have a dog. I know of the general care of animals. I go above and beyond taking them in as my own. I respect their personal boundaries. I would have to come to you. I do work full time in the evenings from Tuesday to Friday generally from 3-11pm. For dogs walking ill take them on hour long walks, if we find a field ill play fetch. I am very good at following instructions to a tee. As well as administratoring meds. I am very comfortable with that. Hey I'm working full-time in the evening. Usually tuesday through friday from 3-11, but I am home every morning and weekends.

About: As a child, my household brimmed with numerous pets: five huskies, three cats, two parakeets, two bearded dragons, and various mice and fish. I have a wealth of knowledge in diverse animal care settings and can guarantee a safe and loving environment for your companions. I am currently seeking employment, which leaves my schedule open for pet care services at all times. I'm often available for dog-walking, pet-sitting, house-sitting, and boarding. Dog-Walking: Walks are tailored to each dog's pace and health. I'm vigilant about surroundings, avoiding potential hazards like aggressive animals or unsafe areas, and always keep a supply of water and treats to make our walks both fun and comfortable. Behavioral Correction: In animal training, I emphasize positive reinforcement, patience, and consistency. By using rewards and gentle guidance, I help puppies learn basic commands, house training, and socialization skills. Cat Care: I offer a secure, hazard-free environment where cats can comfortably explore, respecting their need for personal territory. Building trust is key; I approach these animals with patience, allowing cats to initiate contact and ensuring they have their own space. Home Safety: Inside my home, I maintain a clean, pet-safe environment, free from hazards like small objects or toxic substances. My cat is well-socialized and accustomed to sharing his space with other animals.
About: I have owned many pets throughout my childhood. To say what kind of experience I have would take more than 125 words because each pet has their own personality and style and I adapt to exactly what your pets need and want. If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want space, they get space. I’m home almost all day so they will get all the attention they ever want(or the space they need). I aim to make them happy! Non smoke home with a big spacious living room to play or rest in. I’ve been dog walking/pet sitting since I was a teen and miss doing that. I love hiking and anything outdoorsy so I’m always up for being outside as well. If you have any questions please reach out! I’m a stay at home mom so I’ll be able to easily take your pup out on walks and quick potty breaks. We don’t have a fenced yard but have a shared yard out in the back as well as a park nearby. I walk them right before I would leave to run any errands and usually don’t take long. I follow the instructions provided so that its not stressful for the pup as well as the pet owner. I send updates on how the pup is doing and what we’re up to. We go out on walks a lot. If it’s okay with the owner than I take the pup out on a shorter hike with my daughter. I make sure to grab water too! At home we see what kind of personality the pup has because some aren’t as active and would rather cuddle while others like to play play play.
“Audrey did great with our reactive dogs. She was incredibly communicative when we met her and asked us many questions. She did everything we asked and I have complete trust in her with our dogs.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats all my life. I’m a huge animal lover, and have experience with cats, dogs, horses, fish, parrots, and chickens. I moved from Virginia to Washington to attend grad school at Eastern Washington University. In California, I was a hospice caretaker for a 21 year old dog with cancer. I know how to give medicine as well as cook for your pet’s special dietary needs if necessary. I’m a super active person so I don’t mind going on long walks with your dog. I enjoy the exercise! I have experience with a wide range of breeds and even have experience with coyotes! I can give cats insulin as well. Whatever your pet needs, I can provide. I teach one English comp course Mon-Fri from 9am to 9:50am. I have class on Tuesday night from 5:30 to about 9:30 and two short classes Friday afternoon so most days are pretty wide open for pet care. I also get every holiday off. Unfortunately I just moved into a small apartment that doesn’t allow pets, but I’m happy to pet sit at your home and give your pet a safe environment to play in.
“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 owned lots of animals in my 30 years of life and currently have one very special 9yo mutt who is my world. I have experience with medical issues and am comfortable giving medications and caring for ill, injured or aging animals. I am also an avid walker! I adore kitties and am not bothered by the spicy ones. I had several cats growing up and have lived with or sat many more as an adult. My schedule is a bit random right now, but I have some flexibility that I'm hoping to maintain and will typically have the same schedule every week.

About: I have had several puppies through the past 20 years and I also work with the local shelter, fostering dog/cat litters and volunteer walking dogs. I've potty trained them and taught them basic commands with marker training, such as sit, stay, off and come. I also have experience with reactive dogs, our own are adopted litter mates that are dog, people and leash reactive. My husband takes care of our dogs while I am watching yours. I am caring, responsible and guarantee I will take excellent care of your loved ones while you are away! I am confident that if your dog is working on potty training, I can instill and reinforce that behavior. I love going on long walks or runs and would take your pet for fun at the park if they are comfortable with that setting. I work contract to contract and am now free during the entire day to watch your pets. I like to go outside every few hours, sometimes a long walk in the afternoon. With puppies, I go outside every half hour to an hour and reinforce potty training with treats and excitement.
About: Are you looking for a friendly, reliable, enthusiatic caregiver for your pup? I'm just who you need! Nothing would make me happier than to give your fuzzy friend all the walks, brushes, attention, and time they need! Whether it's taking Marmaduke for a long hike or taking Missy to the groomers, it would make my day to make your dog's day! I also have experience with cats, chickens, and reptiles/amphibians and freshwater aquariums. I'm generally free to walk or visit between 10am and 3pm, and evenings after 7pm, 7 days a week! If your dog likes company, I'd be happy to introduce my Scottish Terrier, Yoshi! Otherwise, one-on-one time is always welcome. As a dog owner and friend myself, I understand the importance of safe and responsible pet care. This means always using proper leash/collar safety, having plenty of water on hand during walks and being mindful of weather and temperature, always bagging messes, and most importantly, always following your instructions as to how to best care for your best friend. While conducting home visits, it is ways my highest priority to be respectful and mindful, always ensuring cleanliness, safety, and security.

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.”

“Taylor was an amazing dog sitter!! It was my first time leaving my 9 month old puppy but with all the pictures and communication that was provided really helped me be at ease. The pictures really helped reassure he was having the best time and was adjusting well. My doggo was well exercised and had the best time hanging out with her pup Kovu! I would definitely rebook!”
“My dog had a great time with Taylor and her family. Taylor sent regular updates to let me know how Nova was doing. I will definitely be using her service again. Having other dogs for Nova to interact with made the stay alot easier. There is already an established pack and it made Nova take a less in charge attitude.”
“Maddie loved her stay with Brooke. We appreciated all the love and attention that Brooke gave to our pup while she was staying with her. The daily pictures and updates we received were reassuring that Maddie was enjoying her vacation too. We will definitely be booking a stay for Maddie again.”
“Cheryl was great with our two doggies! I always get anxious leaving them with someone new, but she kept me updated on how they were doing and sent lots of pictures! They looked right at home and happy. I would definitely use Cheryl again for our next trip!”
“Oscar spent a few days with Heather and was clearly well looked after, relaxed and happy. The communication was great and it's always nice to receive pictures and updates—I can only recommend Heather and would happily book with her again. Cheers!”
“My senior girl loved Janiel's place. Beautiful yard, ball throwing, and Janiel made sure to keep me updated with pics. So glad I found such a great place for Scout. She tells me she hopes to visit again.”
“Lynda was really great! Our dog tends to be mistrustful of people at first, and indeed at their first meeting she barked at her for a while. We just let her do her thing and pretty soon she was bringing her a ball to play instead. The first overnight went great she was comfortable sleeping on the bed and got along great with her golden retriever. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Irene was a SUPERB host for my Rita and will absolutely be re-booking in the future! Facilitated a smooth meet and greet, welcomed Rita in, and was in clear and consistent communication.”
“Milo had a great time and was taken care of exactly as his medical needs required. We appreciate the flexibility with his pickup and will certainly return if we need boarding again.”
“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.”
“Aimee was absolutely wonderful with our pup! She sent daily photo updates, took her on walks, and treated her like a member of their family for the two weeks she had her. Our dog has some health conditions and needs regular medications and she was completely willing to take care of whatever our pup needed. We will definitely be calling Aimee again for our next trip!”
“Jack clearly felt right at home. It’s reassuring to see pics of your pet having fun and Tiana takes care of him amazingly well. I’d use them again in a heartbeat.”
