“John has always been very professional and considerate when hosting Lex. I feel a piece of mind dealing knowing that Lex is well taking care of. Thank you very much”
“Our dogs love Debbi and her family. They get so excited every time we pull up to her house! I begin to think they like to stay there rather than being home! Hahahaha!”
“Odin is generously spoiled with each stay with Lisa. She always engages him with different activities and outings, and showers him with love and attention. He loves his Lisa vacations!”
“Liz exceeded all my exceptions when boarding my boy, Bexo! Not only does she provide a "home away from home", but with a stream of photos of Bexo exploring her huge yard and going for walks on the surrounding trails, I really felt like he was getting a vacation of his own. Bexo can take a while to warm up to new people, and doesn't do well with other dogs. While discussing this at drop off, I discovered that Liz is also a trainer with extensive experience working with special needs. This was immediately apparent in the her interactions with Bexo, as she made sure Bexo was conformable with her before I left. She really seem to "hear" him, and I've never seen him take to a stranger so fast. Thanks again Liz! Bexo can't wait until next time.”
“Riitta is the best! She has a wonderful setup at her house. She took great care of Tucker and sent lots of updates during his first stay with her. Will definitely be booking again ☺️”
“Alexa was wonderful to work with! She followed all directions, asked thoughtful questions, and took great care of our dog Sucia. We didn’t worry about our pup for a minute with all of the clear communication and excellent care. We will definitely book again!”
“Natalie is wonderful! As soon as we got there she made me and my girl comfortable. My dog is very perceptive with people and animals. If she isn’t comfortable she won’t go near them. Immediately my dog was wagging her tail and happy to be there. Likewise, when we picked her up she was happy. While greeting us she kept going back to Natalie as well. I will definitely want my girl to stay with Natalie again. What a relief to find a loving compassionate caring home for my girl when we need one”
“Jenny made our dogs feel so at home and gave updates to us while we were away. Leaving for 2 weeks internationally took alot of trust in those caring for our dogs. Jenny went over and beyond to make sure that we enjoyed our vacation and didn't have to worry about our dogs. From enrichment activities, to walks, to cuddles, - our dogs couldn't have had it better. We would 100% have Jenny care for our dogs again. Thanks Jenny!”
“Juan is the absolute best. He and Odee were fabulous companions for Looey while we were away. Looey made himself at home and Juan helped him work out some separation anxiety. Loo even went for a car ride and to the park. Juan is a great human and a kind soul, he would be a great sitter for any of your fur babies!! Thank you Juan we appreciate you so much!”
“Tunyi's was so far the best to board our dog and we have tried multiple dogsitters near us. She shared so many videos and pictures of our dog even without us requesting. Our dog seemed happy, comfortable and well taken care of. We will definitely consider Tunyi to watch our dog should we need help again in the future.”
“We recently boarded our toy poodle Ella with Karen, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Karen was incredibly professional and clearly very experienced with dogs. From the moment we dropped Ella off, we felt confident that she was in great hands. Karen provided regular updates and made sure Ella was comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout her stay. Ella came home relaxed and content, which tells us she truly enjoyed her time there. We were so pleased that we’ve already booked another, much longer stay with Karen. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Nicole was absolutely wonderful with Archie! We received pictures and videos every day of him playing, having fun, and looking so happy at her house. Nicole was quick to respond to messages and was very accommodating when I needed to adjust the pick-up times. We felt so comfortable knowing Archie was in such great hands\. The next time we need to go out of town, Nicole will definitely be our first choice! ❤️”
“Karina is an amazing sitter, she was clear and communicative while watching my golden retriever and always would reach out if anything. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Jo is a wonderful lady and sitter. She is very welcoming, warm, great with dogs, and took great care of our GSD. Her communication is great, sends frequent pictures, responds quickly, and great overall communicator. We will definitely book with her more and trust her with our dogs! Thanks again, Jon”
“Charmaine was great, couldn’t be more happy with her and her service, communication was great the location and parking was great and it was really fun receiving pictures of our pets while we were out of town, thank you so much Charmaine looking forward to using your services again”
“Pheara went above and beyond for our dog Astro!! She was a great communicator and when she wasn’t able to reach us, took initiative to follow up with our vet to confirm his medication regimen. Astro has epilepsy and during his stay he suffered a medical episode. Pheara dealt with the situation amazingly! She kept us updated on his condition and also reached out to the emergency vet for further advice. Daily picture/video updates allowed us to feel comfortable while on our trip, knowing Astro was being well cared for. We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Fiona is a fantastic sitter. Our Goldendoodle loves being at her home and feels very comfortable. We appreciate the photos, videos and daily updates. Thank you for being so attentive to our pup!”
“I was looking for help with my cats on very short notice--when I contacted SJ not only did she message right back but she also gave me a call to talk about my cats and what I was looking for. She took great care of them while they boarded with her--I think they had a lovely vacation complete with treats, cuddles and some very excellent bird and squirrel watching. Thank you SJ!”

“Jessica was very responsive, spent good time with our cat Aerazele, and took care of a few details we forgot. She did everything well, and we were confident Aerazele was well taken care of.”
“Jennifer was great, she was even able to get my shy kitties to come out from under the bed. Daily updates and photos were perfect, animals were happy when I got home, and the house was exactly as we'd left it. I would not hesitate to book with Jennifer again. Thank you so much Jennifer!”
“We have animals but are free to travel! We are fortunate to have found Hope to help us. We returned home to happy & healthy cats and clean litter boxes. Hope's daily detailed reports keep us well informed and the photos of the cats make us happy to see that are doing well in our absence. Hope plays with them and is so sweet and kind. She also is very thoughtful and brings in any packages on the porch or mail if we ask. She lets me know if any of them are sick or having issues. We will schedule again soon!! Thanks again for everything, Hope!”
“Andi did a fabulous job taking care of my two cats, who weren’t thrilled that mom left town! Everything was kept tidy and comfortable for them. I’ll definitely use Andi again for future cat care!!”
“My partner and I were so happy with how well our kitty was taken care of by Miranda. We got updates with photos for each visit which we loved and appreciated! We definitely would love to book again in the future 😊”
“Excellent service; very professional, caring and reliable mother/daughter team. They made friends very quickly with our very shy rescue cat. They take good pictures and send detailed information on how the cat is doing. We look forward to reading their comments on the Rover Card. This is our second time using them, and we will continue in the future. We highly recommend them!”
About: I have 27 years of experience in veterinary medicine as a veterinary assistant. I'm comfortable administering oral medications and injections, caring for senior pets, and monitoring pets with special medical needs. I understand how important it is to provide patient, compassionate, and reliable care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I currently work very part time. Typically 2 shifts a week in the evenings. The longest I would be away from your pets would be approximately 9 hours 1-2x weekly. I am also on call for my aging family members. They are close so my time away is minimal. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine and environment to reduce stress. I follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions carefully, while monitoring for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. With 27 years of veterinary experience, I understand the importance of safety, attention to detail, and clear communication with pet owners.
“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!”
“Stephanie did drop in visits for our kitties and everything went great... our kitties were happy n healthy when we got home and the pics she shared each day showed they really liked her (they're typically very shy)”
“Claudine was wonderful. It was our first time leaving our 9 month old kitten so we were a bit anxious but Claudine sent us daily pictures and updates which made us feel so much better. Luna had her own room fully equipped with toys, scratching post, window perch, etc. We definitely plan to use Claudine the next time we have to board our kitten.”
“Michael has taken such wonderful care of our cats. After two weeks they are now his friends and we will certainly use him in the future. Michael is respectful , kind and meticulously reliable.”
“Cortney was awesome!! She took such great care of our kitties (and fish) while we were away 🥰 Clear communication, quick responses, and really cute pictures!! Will definitely book with Cortney again!”
“Barbara was wonderful! She took care of our cat, frogs, and turtle while we were gone for 10 days. Our cat loved her and she made sure the other animals were cared for properly. She provided helpful updates and left us a daily log when we returned. I would definitely use Barbara again in the future!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have cared for pets since I was a child. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. As a retired pet sitter with a flexible schedule, I can give your pets the time, attention, companionship, and frequent potty breaks they deserve throughout the day. I’m experienced caring for pets of all ages, including senior dogs and cats, and I’m comfortable administering medications when needed. I also have experience caring for cats, alpacas, goats, chickens, and cows, so I’m comfortable with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I share my home with my sweet senior Beagle, who is very laid-back, gentle, and gets along well with other animals. His calm personality helps visiting pets feel welcome and at ease. While my yard is not fenced, I live in a wonderful, walkable neighborhood that’s perfect for safe leash walks, sniff adventures, or stroller rides for senior pets who still enjoy getting outside. For added peace of mind, a veterinary clinic is conveniently located right at the bottom of my street should an emergency ever arise. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, providing them with plenty of love, patience, and individualized attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving, dependable hands. As a retiree, I have a very flexible schedule and can provide care any day of the week, including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and last-minute bookings when available. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of love. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, and I’m happy to work around their schedule to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. “For everyone’s safety, I only allow dogs outdoors while securely leashed unless otherwise instructed by the owner.” As a previous owner of two small Yorkies, who sadly passed away from old age, I know how important it is for them to continuously be watched due to predators etc. I will always be very cautious with your prize possessions. I occasionally have my 7 year old grandson in my home, but he is great with animals. He’s only at my place a couple times a week.
“Amber and Barb did drop in visits for our cats while we were away for a couple of days. The cats and our home were well taken care of! They communicated well. It was nice to get some photos of the cats while we were away. We have a bit of a complicated set up for feeders and litter boxes and they were able to handle it with no issues. I would definitely hire them again!”
“Natalie is amazing I have two cats one is a Tuxedo who is very friendly. And a Calico cat who’s very shy and hides whenever I had someone watch her she got that way because we’ve moved several times. Natalie is a cat whisperer. She took such good care of Allie and Kit, but I was totally blown away. The Alley was letting her pet her and feed the princess her food definitely recommend Natalie and I will definitely have her take care of the kitties again.”
“Lorie looked after our two cats while we were on vacation for a week. She is very professional, caring and conscientious and we felt at ease while we were away, knowing that our cats and home were in good hands. She gave us very thorough visit reports which we appreciated very much. We would love to have her look after our cats again.”
About: With over 45 years of experience caring for cats and kittens, I have a very good understanding of their needs and behaviors. I currently own four cats myself and know how important it is to find a trusted person who will ensure your pets are loved and well-cared for while you're away. I’m happy to help with feeding, refilling water, cleaning the litter box, playtime, and offering any additional care, including administering medications and insulin. Whether you're going on vacation or just need someone to check in on your cats, I’d love to help!
About: Hi there! As a lifelong dog person, I have a lot of experience - I have cared for dogs weighing 8 to over 100lbs, and from 6 week old puppies to seniors. I am experienced in dogs with complex situations such as reactivity, fearfulness & timidness, and significant physical impairments. Currently, I own two rescue dogs - a 3 year old female German shepherd/malinois mix, and a 2 year old male Aussie who was born deaf & blind. So when I say the “hard to handle” pups are my speciality, I mean it! I would be happy to take your dog on a walk or local hike, to play outside with them, to work/train (my GSD/malinois girl requires regular scent work, agility, and intense variations on fetch to stay sane), or to simply give them affection. I don’t at all mind working with dogs that take time to win over, or that need extra TLC. All dogs are good dogs, and I can promise you that to me, they are all precious cargo - and will be handled as such in my care. I am a music teacher, and primarily work afternoons & evenings - so earlier in the day I have free time. I am also the mother of a young child, so am unavailable on weekends when he is home from school. I will adhere to strictly to instructions given (ie, your dog is crated or not, food allergies or sensitives to avoid, fears they have or the best ways to make them feel safe) and make sure above all else, they know I am someone they can look forward to seeing.

“Kyle & Marissa are the best! Super easy to communicate and work with, and really welcoming and awesome with our pups. Moose & Bunny played, took a walk, and came home super tired, which is always what you hope for. We got updates and photos, and felt totally comfortable leaving them. This is a great family, and we'll definitely book with them again. Fun fact: they even sent us home with a goodie bag from their apple trees and garden! Thanks, y'all :)”
“Tracy really helped us out by accommodating our dog who was still healing from surgery. My husband also had long hours for work while the rest of the family was away. We are very happy to have found you. Thanks for taking such great care of our dogs!”
“Karen is the best! We have had nothing but the best experience with her. She takes extremely good care of our pup while we are at work and when we get her home she is happy, tired and well exercised. Karen has good communication, very kind and accommodating. I highly recommend her.”
“Tunyi was wonderful! She sent me updates on how my pup was doing! She made the process very easy. Thanks Tunyi! Definitely will be asking again!”
“Candra is attentive, experienced, and made sure my dog received all the love, exercise, and mental stimulation she needed. Her sweet kids and husband were so involved and gentle, creating a warm, loving environment where my dog felt loved. It is clear she genuinely cares about the animals in her care and goes above and beyond to make sure every need is met. She knew how to handle my dog, who has separation anxiety and doesn’t calm easily in new places. Candra has calm and kind energy, and has great discretion. And her house and backyard are perfect for dogs. I couldn’t recommend more, Candra will be able to identify your dogs needs and make sure you get the best experience possible!”
“Aina was great with Duke. He doesn’t like being away from us and being with new people, but she was able to make him like her and her daughter. So cute! Would definitely recommend her as sitter 💓”
“Xi and Dun (her pup) hosted Skye very well! Xi shared photos and videos constantly throughout the day! And Dun gave Skye great company and was a great zoomie buddy! Skye is back home from a fun day with them!!”
“I know that my beloved Sophie is in good hands. Amber and Barb showed such care and consideration for my senior dog. There aren’t enough superlatives to express what a great initial experience I had leaving my dog in their care.”
“Jennifer and her family were the very best I could have hoped for my JoJo to spend time with! Not only in Jennifer’s yard and accommodating puppy Shadow every dog’s dream, he warmth and communication throughout the day was so appreciated. I will definitely go back to Jennifer for future needs, and even accommodate my plans to match her availability! Your pup would be lucky to be with this family!”
“I was in Atlanta for the weekend and Luis watched my excitable dog for 12 hours on short notice. He is great. He went above and beyond and I would recommend him to anyone.”
“Dawn was fantastic with Pepper! She took great care of her, and Pepper was happy and comfortable the whole time. Super easy to communicate with, and the scenic drive out to her place was a lovely bonus. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Our dog had a great day at Amy and Shelby's house. She loved hanging out with them and their family, and came home clean and tired. Looking forward to her next visit!”

“I am so thankful to have found this wonderful duo to watch Ellie for me while I was working! They sent me pictures and videos throughout the day, sending me updates on Ellie. I also appreciate how responsive they were to any messages I sent. Ellie got home and knocked out for hours so I know she had a blast ❤️ Will definitely turn to these two again in the future!! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Sarah was wonderful to my fur baby Precious and she had a great play day with other friends while I had an important meeting. I will definitely use her services again. Thank you Sarah and all of you who care for our pet Children.”
“Darshana is an amazing dog sitter! I am very overprotective dog mama and I was super nervous about leaving my fur baby with just anyone. However, after meeting her I could tell she truly loves dogs and I know I am leaving my Kiki in great hands. Darshana is constantly sending me photos/updates throughout the day and I love that I never have to ask. When left for doggy daycare she even takes Kiki out on walks. Kiki is lucky to have such an attentive sitter watching over her. My work schedule is very long and appreciate the special accommodations that Darshana makes for us. Kiki always leaves happy and tired. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my Kiki! I will continue to use you for daycare and future boarding services. Highly recommend!!!”
“Xiaoli did an amazing job taking care my Teddy She truly went above and beyond accommodating Teddy needs. She sent lots of pictures & video updates with quick responses and great communication. I highly recommend and would have her care for Teddy again. Thank you so much Xiaoli!”
About: Hi, my name is Kelsey! I am a mom of three wonderful kids and have decided to make a little money by doing what I love, caring for pets. I work as a real estate agent so my hours are very flexible. As someone who has needed to rely on someone to care for our pets while we are gone, I understand the importance of finding a loving and trustworthy person. I would love to care for your pets and give them a comfortable home. My first job was a vet assistant at an animal hospital and was then promoted to a receptionist. I've worked with all types of dogs and cats. I grew up fostering pets from PAWS and learned to love animals from a young age. I've had my beautiful German Shepherd for 10 years and two fun kitties for over 12 years. I would be happy to board your pet in our home. We treat every pet as our own and hope to make our home an extension of yours. Every animal is treated with care and will get tons of love from my kids. Your pets safety and happiness is my number one priority when they are in my care. We have a large yard with a dog run that is fully fenced. We will never leave your pet outside alone and if they are wounders they will be on leash. I'm currently a full time mom and real estate agent. My day is very flexible and I am home either with my kids or working. I have a fully fenced dog run which my dog loves to dig holes in and play. When your dog his in our home, we treat them as our own. They get the run of the house and just spend time with us.

“Miranda is AMAZING! She is always on time and even takes Sammie for a little extra time. You can really tell she loves animals and is very caring and patient; being that Sammie is still a puppy! We really appreciate you, and Sam sure LOVES you :) Thank you, Miranda! ”
About: We have been around animals all our life since living on a small family dairy farm including 4-H as a kid. We can care for all types of animals. We can administrator shots and pills. I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule. My husband is retired and loves animals as well. So your fur baby will get 2 for 1 as he also loves to care for animals too. Pets are less stressed and relax more when in their own home. While you are away you know your pets are being well cared for in their own environment.
“I reached out to Hope after reading her bio and thought she would be a good fit to walk my malamute mix. Meet and greet went extremely well and I felt comfortable and confident she understood my descriptions and was very kind and personable. My dog did really well with her and I could take my trip with less worry. Highly recommend Hope!!”
“Barbara did a fantastic job walking our dig when we could not. She was on time, adapted to our complicated schedule and was very caring towards our dog. We would definitely recommend her.”
“I cannot say enough about the 5 star job Jennifer did. She went above and beyond always a smile. My dog loves her and her daughter Luna was a great treat giver. Jennifer saved me and my dog during my injury. Darbey always came back from his walk with a smile😁🐶🤩”
“Samantha started walking Benny last week. Her kind and calm demeanor and professionalism were obvious when she came for a meet and greet before her first walk. She is punctual, and Benny clearly loves her. More importantly, our cat gave her his instant approval! We are so happy to have her help as we acclimate to having a dog again, especially a puppy!”
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.
About: I absolutely love animals of all kinds and own a sweet 19-year-old cat named Jet. I've owned and lived with pets throughout my life. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and birds many times throughout my life. I have experience administering medications and love to play with animals. I look forward to meeting your furry and feathered friends! I am a 37-year-old professional swing dance instructor, classical vocal coach, and piano teacher. I received my Bachelor's degree in Choral-Vocal Music Education from Bob Cole Conservatory of Music at CSULB. I studied Molecular Biology for 3 years before deciding to pursue teaching dance and music. I work freelance, so my schedule is flexible to tend to pets' needs throughout the day. I have worked in a variety of settings, including restaurants, music halls, recording studios, summer camps, dance studios, tutoring, and babysitting. I enjoy classic movies, gardening, crossword puzzles, camping, and cooking. I rely on the client to set the ground rules for their own home and pets, and adhere to those guidelines. Every pet parent has a good feel for their pet’s needs and care, and I look forward to learning about each unique pet I get to care for.
“Michael is punctual, a great communicator, and it’s obvious he loves animals. Meeko took to him right away and looked forward to his walks. He would fall asleep before Michael could pull away in his car! I HIGHLY recommend Michael and will definitely reach again should the need arise.”

About: I am a teacher looking to stay busy this summer. I have a dog and 2 cats. I grew up with pets my whole life. I plan on doing this over my summer break. I will have a lot of time to spend time with animals by giving them the exercise they need. I am happy to host at our place. We have a spacious place. I love to stay active and take them out often. I can also go stop by and make sure your animals are loved!
About: I’ve grown up with multiple dogs my entire life. The last 10 years I’ve been taking care of my own dog and dog sat for friends and neighbors (who also had cats). I also have experience with chickens and over 20 years experience with horses! I will keep clients informed about how their pet is doing and even send photos and videos! Even though I work full time, I make time before and after work to take care of pets. If close to work, I can drive to your home during lunch to take care of pets if needed. I respect clients property and personal belongings taking the best care of their pet, house, and yard. I always follow all directions given by clients and clean up after myself.
“I could not say enough wonderful things about Maren. From the first meet and greet to her last walk with Kathleen she has gone above and beyond. Wonderful communication, observant of any new concerns with Kathleen’s health, and very careful about her dog reactivity. Thank you so so much Maren. <3”
About: I am a lifelong pet owner and have 2 senior dogs and one senior cat. I am comfortable with animals of all kinds and will treat your buddies like my own. I am also able to help if your animals need special care with meds etc. I am self employed so I can easily arrange my schedule to meet your needs. Just let me know what will work best for you! My dogs have a fenced in yard but I do supervise them outside due to the wild animals we have on our property. Our cat in an indoor cat for her safety as well. Your pet's safety is my highest priority.
“Stephanie was reliable and very thorough! It was such a relief to know my guy was well cared for and had some exercise while I was away on a stressful day. Can't thank her enough. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: Hi there! As a lifelong dog person, I have a lot of experience - I have cared for dogs weighing 8 to over 100lbs, and from 6 week old puppies to seniors. I am experienced in dogs with complex situations such as reactivity, fearfulness & timidness, and significant physical impairments. Currently, I own two rescue dogs - a 3 year old female German shepherd/malinois mix, and a 2 year old male Aussie who was born deaf & blind. So when I say the “hard to handle” pups are my speciality, I mean it! I would be happy to take your dog on a walk or local hike, to play outside with them, to work/train (my GSD/malinois girl requires regular scent work, agility, and intense variations on fetch to stay sane), or to simply give them affection. I don’t at all mind working with dogs that take time to win over, or that need extra TLC. All dogs are good dogs, and I can promise you that to me, they are all precious cargo - and will be handled as such in my care. I am a music teacher, and primarily work afternoons & evenings - so earlier in the day I have free time. I am also the mother of a young child, so am unavailable on weekends when he is home from school. I will adhere to strictly to instructions given (ie, your dog is crated or not, food allergies or sensitives to avoid, fears they have or the best ways to make them feel safe) and make sure above all else, they know I am someone they can look forward to seeing.

“Odin is generously spoiled with each stay with Lisa. She always engages him with different activities and outings, and showers him with love and attention. He loves his Lisa vacations!”
“Liz exceeded all my exceptions when boarding my boy, Bexo! Not only does she provide a "home away from home", but with a stream of photos of Bexo exploring her huge yard and going for walks on the surrounding trails, I really felt like he was getting a vacation of his own. Bexo can take a while to warm up to new people, and doesn't do well with other dogs. While discussing this at drop off, I discovered that Liz is also a trainer with extensive experience working with special needs. This was immediately apparent in the her interactions with Bexo, as she made sure Bexo was conformable with her before I left. She really seem to "hear" him, and I've never seen him take to a stranger so fast. Thanks again Liz! Bexo can't wait until next time.”
“Alexa was wonderful to work with! She followed all directions, asked thoughtful questions, and took great care of our dog Sucia. We didn’t worry about our pup for a minute with all of the clear communication and excellent care. We will definitely book again!”
“Juan is the absolute best. He and Odee were fabulous companions for Looey while we were away. Looey made himself at home and Juan helped him work out some separation anxiety. Loo even went for a car ride and to the park. Juan is a great human and a kind soul, he would be a great sitter for any of your fur babies!! Thank you Juan we appreciate you so much!”
“Tunyi's was so far the best to board our dog and we have tried multiple dogsitters near us. She shared so many videos and pictures of our dog even without us requesting. Our dog seemed happy, comfortable and well taken care of. We will definitely consider Tunyi to watch our dog should we need help again in the future.”
“Pheara went above and beyond for our dog Astro!! She was a great communicator and when she wasn’t able to reach us, took initiative to follow up with our vet to confirm his medication regimen. Astro has epilepsy and during his stay he suffered a medical episode. Pheara dealt with the situation amazingly! She kept us updated on his condition and also reached out to the emergency vet for further advice. Daily picture/video updates allowed us to feel comfortable while on our trip, knowing Astro was being well cared for. We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“This was our first time using Rover to find a sitter for our dog, Apollo. Tyler was the best person we could have asked for. He was super communicative ahead of time, was sending us plenty of updates while we were gone, and sent lots of photos. He also took Apollo on plenty of walks in some nice areas in Bothell. Apollo looked like he had the best time. We'd love to have him stay with Tyler again the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Giovanna provided the absolute best care possible for our 4.5 month old rescue/foster pup, Moose. We received regular updates and stellar communication, and I am pretty sure Moose wishes he could have stayed for longer! What a wonderful experience for all. Thank you, Giovanna!”
“Alissa took great care of Maya and sent us lots of photos Also her house is amazing and perfect for dogs, complete with a huge backyard where they can explore the forest. She and her son are a perfect choice of sitter!”
About: Hi, I’m Kyle and my family and I have provided loving, high-quality care for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Our active, dog-loving home includes my wife Marissa, our daughters, and two playful 3-year-old Aussie Doodle siblings, Rocky and Tsunami. I know your dog is family, and our goal is to provide a safe, active, and affectionate "home away from home" where they can truly thrive while you're away! We provide a calm, home-style environment where your dogs are welcomed as part of the family and enjoy full household privileges. They always have access to fresh water and comfortable resting areas, and they are welcome on sofas, beds, or one of our many large dog beds. When outside, your dogs will have access to our spacious backyard that is completely fenced in, providing secure and safe play. Dogs have access to the backyard all day and can go outside whenever they need — to play, explore, sniff around, or to take care of their bathroom needs. I work full time from home allowing me to provide your dog with constant supervision, regular bathroom breaks, walks and companionship throughout the entire day. Your dog will also have two incredibly friendly, playful dogs of our own who love welcoming new furry friends and making them feel part of the pack. We are also happy to accomidate your preferred sleeping arrangements and can follow your dog’s usual routine from home. If your dog sleeps in a crate, please bring it. If your dog is use to sleeping close to people, they will have the option of sleeping in our room with us. Feeding and medication can be given according to your dog’s regular schedule. And I will do my best to carefully follow all of your instructions so your dog can stay in their familiar routine and feel relaxed, safe, and truly at home. We would love to welcome your dog into our home and care for them as part of our family, surrounding them with attention, kindness, and love.
“Highly recommend Monica! Monica took amazing care of our dogs, Romeo and Leo, while we were on vacation. From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, responsible, and easy to work with. She kept us updated regularly with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that both Romeo and Leo were happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. When we picked them up, they came back healthy, relaxed, and in great spirits. What really stood out was how accommodating Monica was with our constantly changing travel schedule. Our trip got rescheduled multiple times, and she was very understanding and flexible, which we truly appreciated. We also loved that she only boards a small number of dogs at a time (just two), so they get plenty of attention and care. We’re so glad we found Monica and will definitely trust her again in the future”
“Candra wore this dog out! She took great care to ensure Oliver Pancake would be a good fit in the household prior to booking. She was very communicative during Oliver Pancake’s strobe her in her family, providing lots of photos and videos along the way. We will definitely book again w Candra!”
“Mike took great care of Frankie while we were away for 10 days! She loved to explore his big yard, and it was clear when we picked her up how much she’d bonded with Mike and his wife.”
“Qintian did an amazing job taking care of our 8 month old puppy. We received lots of videos of him with a big smile on his face having a great time. Our dogs also got along great, so we were happy knowing he had a friend to play with. Highly recommend!”
“Alison was great with our golden retriever, Mia. She kept us updated and sent pics, Mia had lots of fun. It was our first time using rover and we are very satisfied, will definitely use again.”
“Maggie was incredible! I booked her almost last minute and she found room for my 2 dogs despite trying to get ready for a vacation. When I pick them up, they were very relaxed and very happy.! I would definitely book with her again.”
“Chingri loved staying with David and became best friends with an Aussie. David took great care of Chingri and never let her feel bored. He also sent great pictures of her that kept us reassured during our vacation.”
