“Linda was absolutely wonderful with our dog. From the moment we booked with her, she was incredibly communicative, kind, and attentive. She sent thoughtful, sweet updates throughout the stay — photos and little messages about the activities our dog was enjoying — which gave us so much peace of mind. What truly stood out is how content and relaxed our dog was when she came home. This has never happened after stays at other facilities, where she would return stressed or unsettled. With Linda, she came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. We hope that we get to book with you again in the future. Thank you, Linda!”
“Kristin fit me in on super short notice, and was wonderful when it came to communication. It was amazing to know my skiddish, nervous dog had a safe place to run around and be himself while I was away!”
“Betty and David are wonderful sitters! They always provide my dog the best care and attention and provide so many updates! If I could use them all the time, I would!”
“In my first experience with Rover, I recently boarded my ten-year-old cat with Maggie. She was a marvelous host, going to great lengths to provide a comfortable, caring environment for my little buddy. Maggie has a genuine love of animals, and truly understands cats. I look forward to boarding with Maggie again in the future.”
“Dane watched Beau for an extended 9 day trip we took. He was communicative and sent photos of Beau having fun with other dogs. He was also very flexible with pickup times and allowed us to pick up Beau late.”
“Jessi was amazing! My dog seemed to have a blast with her and her family. She was very responsive and sent me daily photos and updates of my pup. She was very understanding and flexible when I needed to add an extra day due to an emergency. I am certain that my dog was loved and extremely well taken care of with Jessi. Jessi truly went above and beyond! I will definitely be using her again and I highly recommend her to others.”
“Sara was super communicative, flexible, and good with our pups! She shared many photos everyday and I could tell the boys were loving their stay with her! They were clean, happy, and tired when we picked them up. Would absolutely board with Sara again.”
“Kristina took wonderful care of our dog while we were away! Her communication is top notch and she was so accommodating and professional. Our pup returned happy, relaxed, exercised, and even smelling good 😊 We will definitely book with Kristina again!”
“She was absolutely wonderful with our little picky boy! 🐶❤️ She made him feel comfortable, safe, and turned the whole experience into so much fun—especially getting to play with her dogs. She even took him out for a walk, which I wasn’t expecting but genuinely appreciated. Seeing his little tail wagging as he happily went to her was the best reassurance that he felt comfortable and loved. 🥹 She kept us updated throughout the day with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re so grateful for how caring and attentive she was with him. We would absolutely trust her with our little guy again!”
“We booked Lance again for Hammer after a great overnight stay last time, and this time it was for two nights while we were out of town. Once again, he did an amazing job! Hammer came home happy, clean, and well cared for! even down to his paws, rolls, and yes, even his bum! 🐾😂 Lance was flexible and kind enough to let us pick Hammer up really late at 11:30pm, which we truly appreciated. He also sent photo updates whenever he could, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We’re so grateful for the care and attention Lance gives Hammer, and we’ll definitely continue booking with him. Highly recommend!”
“Jordin was so awesome she kept me up to date and sent pictures on a daily this was my first time doing something like this I was nervous and scared. But jordin had reassured me greatly I will definitely be back for future bookings with her ! ❤️”
“This was our second time having Matthew look after our dog and we couldn't have been happier with the level of care and affection provided, and his timely updates. More importantly, we appreciate his flexibility to look after our dog much longer than anticipated due to travel delays. We had one less thing to worry about, knowing he was in good hands. We will not hesitate to use Matthew again for our future needs.”
“Judith was wonderful! Took great care of my dog, and when I picked him up he looked very happy. He came home tired- a sign of a successful vacation at the dogsitter’s!”
“Dogs had a great time and came back very calm. One of our dogs gets very anxious so it was so nice to see him doing so well when we picked him up. We will book again! We got multiple updates with pictures every day. Great experience!”
“We feel comfortable leaving our boy with Heather and Brandon in the future. We received updates with photos which we looked forward to getting. He looked relaxed and comfortable — getting plenty attention and snuggling up to them.”
“We left our Buddy with Kathy for 3 weeks. From start to finish there was no kind of hassles. She would go out of her way and dedicate lot of time to go through the specifics when we dropped him off and picked him up. Her house was very well organized and clean that there was no way you could tell she was looking after a dog pack. She made sure she understood Buddy's nature and how he interacted with her usual dog pack before she agreed to pet sit him. Even before we could say a word she would do the best for him. He looked healthy and did look well cared for and I'm sure they miss the naughty boy who was a handful ?. On request she would send photos and videos. Thank you for training him and loving him unconditionally while we were away Kathy & Craig ♥️. We would certainly go back in a heartbeat to her, one of the best pet sitters we have known in the area.”

“Willa was amazing! She took great care of my cat while we were away in Bali. She made sure to feed her twice a day and even played with her in the garden.

I can’t wait to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to look after their pet.”

“Rose has been fantastic with our cats on multiple visits. When we were still working on integrating our new cat that had previously been a stray, she was happy to work with our special set up. She recently watched our cats over Christmas, and did a great job.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and animals my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. My family has owned and cared for a large number of dogs, ranging from small French Bulldogs to large Caucasian Shepherds, so I’m comfortable with both small and giant breeds and understand that every dog has different needs and temperaments. I also have experience caring for dogs with different activity levels and medical needs. One of the families I regularly house-sit for has a young German Shepherd and a 13-year-old Labrador with breathing issues. While caring for them, I handled their daily routines, including morning walks, exercise, feeding, companionship, and making sure their individual needs were met. My mom has also worked as a veterinary technician and spent approximately five years working with police K-9s through the Everett Detective Department. Growing up around her work has given me extensive exposure to professional dog handling, training, animal behavior, medications, and veterinary care. I’ve been around many different cats and dogs through her work, including animals ranging from extremely friendly to fearful or reactive. Because of this background, I’m comfortable around dogs that are energetic, large, shy, senior, or have unique routines. I’m patient and attentive, and I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I treat every animal in my care as an individual and want both the pet and their owner to feel safe and comfortable while they’re apart. I’m a college student taking classes online, which gives me a 100% flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for just about anything you, or you pet may need! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medication, and any special needs. I’m comfortable with crate routines and caring for dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. At my home I have a fully fenced yard. I also have 1 small dog of my own who can either keep your dog company or be put away for safety! For house sitting and drop-ins, I treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, while keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Chelsea was awesome with our shy, introverted kitty. We were out of town for a week and Chelsea made sure the kitty was well-cared for, coming everyday to visit and feed her. Chelsea was reliable and consistent, and gave us daily updates with pictures. I wasn’t worried about a thing! We will definitely book with Chelsea again.”
“Isabel was such a great sitter for my 2 cats while we were out of town. She was prompt everyday and sent a ton of pics and videos with each drop in. Didn't have to worry at all while we were gone because she gave such good thorough updates. Definitely recommend booking Isabel for your pet sitting needs. Your pets will be so well cared for”
“Xiaotong was great! She was very responsive and reliable. We appreciated that she was able to come for a meet and greet at the last minute and then took good care of our cats when we were gone.”
“We couldn't be more thankful to have found Lauren and Ernest! Our 3 kitties can be a handful but they love both Lauren and Ernest and look forward to their visits while we are away. They're both very communicative, send great updates, and go above and beyond. This is our 3rd time working with them and they'll be out go to pet sitters every time we need one. Highly recommend!”
“Cyndi was wonderful! I’m always nervous leaving our girls so I really appreciate her being so consistent and communicating while we were gone. She really went above and beyond for us and I can’t recommend her enough! We will 100% be rebooking her for all of our future trips.”
“Lora exceeded my expectations, she did everything I asked of her and more. I didn’t worry at all while I was away and I came home to a very happy kitty. I will absolutely rebook with Lora. This was my very first time using a service like this so I am very impressed and glad I gave it a try. Thank you Lora!”
“This was the second time Amanda took care of our 18-year-old kitten. Señorita Magdalena loves staying here and clings to Amanda desperately when we come to pick her up. If you want someone who's kind and caring, Amanda is the answer.”

“My 5 month old puppy had an amazing time playing with all the dogs at daycare and getting very muddy! Sara went above and beyond and returned to me a happy, exercised, and clean dog.”
“Anthony has been so wonderful to work with for our fur baby! He is very caring and lets us k is how her day went as well as how she ate etc. We love the pictures of her playing with his pups and napping and the best endorsement was how excited she was next time we took her. My husband said she could hardly wait to get through the door! Thank you, Anthony! 🐾”
About: Update: We have adopted 7/7/26 a Shih-tzu 10lb. I raised both a Shih Tzu-Poodle mix and a Tibetan Terrier from puppies into their senior years. They were truly part of our family, and after losing them, I’m not emotionally ready to adopt again. (My daughter got a dog now-7/7/2026) Pet sitting feels like the perfect win-win your pets will be showered with love, attention, and care, while also bringing that special furry companionship back into our home. I’m experienced in daily pet care, including brushing and coat maintenance. Since both of our dogs had coats that matted easily, daily brushing and regular grooming were essential, and I personally maintained and trimmed their coats myself. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve pet sat for friends and family during vacations, often caring for their pets for weeks at a time. I also worked as a nanny for several years, where I regularly cared for a German Shepherd who became one of my favorites. We took daily walks to the park, and I helped maintain his coat, especially during shedding season. My love for animals began growing up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and frequent litters of puppies and kittens. Being able to witness and help care for animals from such a young age gave me a deep appreciation for them and taught me patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always care for them as if they were part of my own family. My schedule is very flexible, I work from home in the evenings, the timing is perfect for winding down, they can relax in my office while I work or in our living room or room. In my home: Safety is my top priority. I have a large, fully fenced backyard, that connect directly to our lower living area allowing for secure and easy access for potty breaks. For variety i can take them around our neighborhood for walks and can utilize a large park at a nearby school for additional play time. Pet not good on walks, NO PROBLEM: Having owned a Tibetan Terrier who was incredibly loving with family and children, but reactive to other dogs on walks I deeply understand that every dog is different. If a pet is anxious or not good on walks, we can stay withing our private back yard. In the clients home: I follow the owners established routines and instructions to keep the pet safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, including tailored neighborhood walks.

“Han is outstanding! She was so kind and understanding to my very anxious pup. I was worried about a new babysitter and if he would get along with her doggos and I was more than happy to see him fit right in to the pack! A very calm and safe environment for my little boy, such a great find.”
“Nich was great! Super friendly, took great care of my pup. Video and text updates. Not afraid to ask questions as needed. I would definitely trust Nich again to watch my little monster 🐶. 😊”
“Heidi had a great time playing and taking in the sun. She played in the back yard with the other puppies Judith and her hubby were friendly and courteous Heidi liked them”
“Thank you, Gino, for taking care of Gus today! I was definitely more anxious than him since it was his first time as an adult dog staying with someone he doesn’t know. Gino sent plenty of update photos and video throughout the day with text updates on how he was settling in, which eased my nerves. Gus wasn’t stressed or anxious when I picked him back up and so I could tell he was well taken care of. We’re looking forward to more regular daycare visits!”
About: I understand that every pup has their own personality, and I enjoy giving them the love, patience, and attention they deserve while you're away. Whether your little companion enjoys short walks to the park, cozy lap time, playtime, or simply a calm and caring presence, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and believe in providing reliable, loving care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I’m currently retired, so I have all of the time needed to be with your pup. My lifestyle is ideal for pet sitting since I will be with them nearly every minute you’re gone. I live in an apartment that has a dedicated potty space for dogs just a short elevator ride away. There’s a park across the street for short walks. I’ve had dogs for many years and our neighbors are all very dog friendly! They love to say hi as we go in and out to potty and walk.
“Kristina is an amazing furbaby sitter, and we are so grateful for the care and attention she gives to Enzo every time he stays with her. Enzo is a regular with Kristina, which says a lot about the trust and comfort we feel leaving him in her care. She is dependable, kind, and truly treats him like family. We always appreciate the updates, love, and patience she gives him, and it gives us peace of mind knowing he is safe, happy, and well cared for. Enzo always comes home relaxed and happy, and we highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾”
“We couldn't be happier with our experience! Our senior Boxer, Kimber, has anxiety, so we're always a little nervous trying new daycares — but Sean and Stephanie put us completely at ease. She came home with no drooling and no signs of being overstimulated, which tells us they really understood how to read her and give her exactly what she needed. Kimber got to socialize with other dogs but also had quiet time to herself when she needed a break — that balance made all the difference for her. You can tell Sean and Stephanie genuinely love dogs, and safety is clearly their top priority. The facility itself is clean and spacious too. Kimber had the best day, and we'll absolutely be back! Highly recommend!”
“Francena is a loving, caring, and knowledgeable provider! She treats my senior Bichon like her own. She took prompt care of him when he was anxious (which he always is now that he is senior). She kept me posted and was very patient with his senior habits! She really knows dogs with all her experience in showing, breeding, grooming, and vet industries. I'm so happy to have found her!❤️”
“Nathaly came through to care for our 8 month GS puppy with such patience and understanding as we had to go through a family loss. It was hard at times to know what time to pick up, but Nathaly gave us a big relief to know Tobie was cared for. Also blessed with toys to help him stay occupied when not playing. Thank you Nathaly and Stella!!”

I’m attentive, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday routine. I take care of my two cats and my dog daily, from feeding and cleaning to giving them attention, playtime, and exercise. Because caring for animals is something I’m used to and genuinely enjoy, adding pet sitting into my schedule fits smoothly and feels like an extension of what I already do.

I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved every day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely, maintain their pet’s usual routine, and keep the environment clean and calm.

“Sophia's availability and reliability are excellent! I can tell she genuinely cares about and enjoys working with animals. Our dogs are like family to us and we appreciate sitters like Sophia who treat them as such.”
“Sarah is the best! My dog is always super excited to see her and she's been a big help while I am at work and a pleasure to be around. Not only is she reliable, but she has been available to help me out last minute which I very much appreciate! Thanks, Sarah!”
About: Stephanie has been a dog lover from a very young age. Sean has worked with dogs in the Military and as a Canine Officer since the age of 18. We believe that your dog should be treated the way they are treated at home- like a family member! We are fortunate to have many years of experience with all types of breeds between us. We excel at bringing new furry personalities into our “pack” and making each dog feel at home. We have a tri-level home that has been “baby gated” to separate doggies if needed. Our yard is completely enclosed with extra safety in mind for potential “escape artists”. We take safety and security very seriously- Sean’s extensive experience as a canine officer/instructor and Stephanie’s lifelong ownership of different breeds allows us to bring all that knowledge together to create the ideal setup and experience for your doggies. We have a doggie door that enables 24/7 access to bathroom breaks, into a secured yard. We recently installed artificial turf in our backyard- an amazing invention for keeping a clean area for doggies to play and run…We currently utilize pet safe cleaner to ensure the turf is clean and safe to play and roll around on. We are able to provide a safe, secure, playful and all-inclusive environment for your fur baby, with light training and excellent pack socialization. We are currently owned by a 2.5 year old female boxer dog named Scarlet. She is a joy and LOVES having friends come by to play with! All of our guests are never left unattended and play time is always supervised. We have experience administering medications, and if needed, can provide a safe “recovery” area for dogs post surgery or with limited mobility. Dogs are fed separately and ONLY if requested by owners, can be crated. We are able to host dogs with special needs- anxiety, special diets, etc (on a case by case basis). With Sean’s extensive working Canine experience, we are able to provide the ideal boarding situation for Military Working Dogs (active/retired) as well as Police Canines. Sean is able to reinforce any current training methods to ensure working dogs maintain proficiencies. Our motto, “just like home” is how we operate! We have multiple dog beds of varying sizes, many, many toys of different kinds and allow couch snuggles as well (if that’s ok with you!) We would prefer a “meet and greet” to get to know your dog(s) so we can plan appropriately for any overnight/boarding guests. We also, love to send pet parents pictures of your doggie’s stay so you can share their experience and see how much fun they are having! Our schedule is centered around dog care! We are able to host dogs in our home every day of the week and available for drop-ins/dog walks Mon-Sat 9am-5pm. Exceptions can be made upon request... We have designed our yard and interior with safety and security as a priority. Yard is fully gated- with multiple "layers", and our home has been baby-gated to provide separation from the pack- if needed. We have interior and exterior cameras to ensure that all dogs have "eyes on" at all times-
“Danielle was kind, communicative and punctual. My little guy loved her immediately! Will be using her again in the future. It would be a pleasure to recommend her to family and friends for their fur babies.”
“We are so fortunate to have had Susan walk our dog for the last 6 months. She is very responsive to emails and keeps us informed about her schedule. Our dog loves her and has been so much more active and happy since we set up regular walks. I highly recommend Susan!”

“Kristin fit me in on super short notice, and was wonderful when it came to communication. It was amazing to know my skiddish, nervous dog had a safe place to run around and be himself while I was away!”
“Dane watched Beau for an extended 9 day trip we took. He was communicative and sent photos of Beau having fun with other dogs. He was also very flexible with pickup times and allowed us to pick up Beau late.”
“Jessi was amazing! My dog seemed to have a blast with her and her family. She was very responsive and sent me daily photos and updates of my pup. She was very understanding and flexible when I needed to add an extra day due to an emergency. I am certain that my dog was loved and extremely well taken care of with Jessi. Jessi truly went above and beyond! I will definitely be using her again and I highly recommend her to others.”
“Sara was super communicative, flexible, and good with our pups! She shared many photos everyday and I could tell the boys were loving their stay with her! They were clean, happy, and tired when we picked them up. Would absolutely board with Sara again.”
“She was absolutely wonderful with our little picky boy! 🐶❤️ She made him feel comfortable, safe, and turned the whole experience into so much fun—especially getting to play with her dogs. She even took him out for a walk, which I wasn’t expecting but genuinely appreciated. Seeing his little tail wagging as he happily went to her was the best reassurance that he felt comfortable and loved. 🥹 She kept us updated throughout the day with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re so grateful for how caring and attentive she was with him. We would absolutely trust her with our little guy again!”
“We booked Lance again for Hammer after a great overnight stay last time, and this time it was for two nights while we were out of town. Once again, he did an amazing job! Hammer came home happy, clean, and well cared for! even down to his paws, rolls, and yes, even his bum! 🐾😂 Lance was flexible and kind enough to let us pick Hammer up really late at 11:30pm, which we truly appreciated. He also sent photo updates whenever he could, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We’re so grateful for the care and attention Lance gives Hammer, and we’ll definitely continue booking with him. Highly recommend!”
“Jordin was so awesome she kept me up to date and sent pictures on a daily this was my first time doing something like this I was nervous and scared. But jordin had reassured me greatly I will definitely be back for future bookings with her ! ❤️”
“This was our second time having Matthew look after our dog and we couldn't have been happier with the level of care and affection provided, and his timely updates. More importantly, we appreciate his flexibility to look after our dog much longer than anticipated due to travel delays. We had one less thing to worry about, knowing he was in good hands. We will not hesitate to use Matthew again for our future needs.”
“Judith was wonderful! Took great care of my dog, and when I picked him up he looked very happy. He came home tired- a sign of a successful vacation at the dogsitter’s!”
“We feel comfortable leaving our boy with Heather and Brandon in the future. We received updates with photos which we looked forward to getting. He looked relaxed and comfortable — getting plenty attention and snuggling up to them.”
“Monica and her daughter were very accommodating while sitting my new puppy on short notice! It was very easy to drop off and pick up my baby Storm. Monica sent photos everyday, which gave me total comfort while I was away for a week. I would highly recommend and will be reaching out again for future boarding. Thank you Monica and family for taking such good care of baby Storm!!”
“Our pup had her first sleepover with Anthony and it was a big success! Thank you, Anthony for the update and the many photos! It is wonderful to know she is in great hands and so happy! 🩷”
“Michelle was absolutely amazing with Smoky! I was away for four days on a work trip, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands. Smoky is a high energy dog who loves being outdoors, running, and staying active, and Michelle went above and beyond to make sure he got plenty of exercise, attention, and care. She took him on runs, kept up with his feeding and routine, and treated him like he was her own. She was also great about communicating throughout my trip, sending pictures and regular updates so I always knew how Smoky was doing. I came home to a happy and well cared for dog, which says everything. Michelle is dependable, caring, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I would absolutely book her again and would be more than happy to have her as Smoky’s regular sitter. Highly recommend her!”
“Brandon went above and beyond as a sitter for my pup. He was extremely communicative about how my pup was doing during his stay. Bz (my pup) made fast friends with Loona and got along great with the other pups in a house as well. Bz got his nails rounded, only after checking in with me, he even got a bath with the other pup. I will definitely be returning to Brandon when I am looking for a sitter to watch Bz. If you are looking for someone to truly care and love you dog while you are away I cannot recommend Brandon enough.”
