“Janessa and family took such great care of my dog for a month. My dog had such a great time playing with Janessa’s dogs in their spacious yard and her family gave her lots of love during the holidays. Communication was perfect—plenty of photos, videos and updates. We will definitely book again!”
“Chloe is amazing. Pictures and videos every day. We could tell that our dog was not only cared for but loved. Definitely would recommend and she will absolutely be our first choice in the future”
“My dog was well taken care of. She seemed happy to have spent time in such a wide open space. Eryn was great at sending photos and reporting on my dog's condition. We will try and us”
“Our dog Maggie loved staying with Ingrid! Maggie doesn’t much like other dogs or animals but loves people and laps. Maggie was treated to plenty of walks and we had daily updates which were much appreciated. Ingrid’s set up and attention fit the bill!”
“Erika was great, she was able to take care of Stella last minute due to an unexpected change in plans for our trip. She was responsive and sent pictures of her daily, which help put us at ease. Would work with her again and recommend to other.”
“This was the first time we had our female GSD stay with Lisa for 3 nights and she did all the right things to get our pup (who can have some anxiety with unfamiliar boarding situations) comfortable and happy. She gave us regular updates with photos, took our pup for tons of adventures/hikes and treated her like her own dog, which is about all you can ask for. Would highly recommend her if you’re looking for some quality 1v1 care for your pup!”
“Part of me wants to write a horrible review so we can keep Jeanne to ourselves, but here’s the truth: I literally can’t find enough amazing things to say about Jeanne—she is the BEST! We have two dogs (~2 y/o) they absolutely loved their stay with Jeanne—and we loved knowing they were in good hands. Jeanne is really great with dogs (and people), has an awesome backyard space, and is a great communicator. She’s quick to respond to messages, sent pictures of the dogs playing, and took amazing care of them. When we picked them up they were tired for two days! Will 100% book with her again.”
“Lexi and Vic are one of a kind! Super accommodating and easy to coordinate with. My dog Finn had a blast running around with their furry friend all week and they sent great updates to let me know how my pup was doing. 10/10 would recommend and will book again!”
“Esther has watched our dog twice now, this time for a longer period and everything has gone great! Tobi seems to enjoy his time and we love getting pictures of him having fun! Thank you Esther!”
“Simply THE BEST! She was amazing and completely saved us by taking our Ellie girl on super late notice for a 10-day stay. Communication was flawless —we received great updates daily, and she was incredibly flexible with drop-off/pick-up times. Her and her family were sweet, genuine, and provided exceptional care. The peace of mind she gave us was invaluable! Highly recommended and we will definitely be rebooking!”
“Nikkole is amazing with our dogs and has the most beautiful yard for them to run around and be happy. She was great about updates and photos. They were so happy there. Will book again.”
“Jessi and her family are so wonderful! This is the second time Jessi’s watched our dog and we can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She goes above and beyond. We hope we’re lucky enough to have her babysit again.”
“Amazing!! I felt like Leslie really cared about my dog and he had a great time at Leslie’s place. Frequent update with cute pictures and videos of my dog and many play times!! Would definitely recommend Leslie with confidence :)”
“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!”
“Diana was very accommodating and took great care of Penny. She sent regular updates and photos, which we appreciated. Penny seemed happy and well cared for when we picked her up and we hope to book with her again in the future.”
“Bryan and Peggy are the best! Pippa immediately recognized Bryan and Peggy when we took her back 3 weeks after the first one night stay. She was so excited to see them again and went easily inside with them, her tail wagging. This time she stayed 2 weeks. Bryan sent lots of pictures and videos which was super nice. We could see how happy Pippa was in their loving company. She was "home away from home". Thank you Bryan and Peggy for treating and loving Pippa like your own dog. Pippa will come back whenever we need to go out of state.”
“We boarded our Great Pyrenees with Lexi for three weeks and couldn’t have been happier. Lexi was very professional and responsive in all our interactions. Our girl came home happy and seemed to have loved her stay. Lexi will be our first choice in the future!”

“Susannah was fantastic at communicating the status of our pet during her visits. She brought in our packages and even put the garbarge cans in from the curb, helping keep our house safe. We would definitely book Susannah again.”
About: I have taken care of cats since I was in elementary school, and understand how to adapt to individuals ages and personalities. With previous experience as a vet assistant intern I am confident with working with attending the needs of cats of all personalities.
About: I've had dogs my whole life. One of mine is 14 years old and takes a lot to care for because of her bad back. I also have experience with puppies. I have a seven month old puppy and have been working on training her. I am currently a student in college at Osu and looking to go on long walks and meet some cute puppies in my free time I have lots of property but my dogs do not allow others over. For safety I can use a crate or have the dog on a leash
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m very attentive to each dog’s routine and needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply providing calm companionship. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, comfort level, and any specific instructions from their owner. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, walks, basic grooming like brushing, cleaning up after pets, and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. My goal is always to make pets feel as relaxed and loved as they would at home. I also make sure owners feel at ease by providing updates and photos so they know their dog is in good hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I currently have a very open and flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day rather than rushing visits. I’m able to adapt to each pet’s routine and make sure they get the care, consistency, and attention they’re used to at home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every dog in my care is supervised, secure, and in a calm environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, routines, and any special needs their dog may have. I pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure dogs are comfortable and not stressed. I also keep a clean and organized environment, remove any potential hazards, and make sure dogs are always handled with patience and care. When outside, I prioritize leash safety and awareness of surroundings to ensure safe walks. Building trust with both dogs and their owners is very important to me. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing and can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, positive, and dependable experience for every dog I care for. 🐶
“Taylor is a wonderful and dedicated sitter. She kept us informed each day on how our two kitties, Bella and Rudy, we doing. Sent us photos and videos which we truly appreciated. We highly recommend Taylor.”
“Hi Emily! I just wanted to send a really warm thank you for everything you’ve done for our cats and fish tanks these past two weeks. Knowing you were stopping by twice a day and keeping such a close, caring eye on things made such a difference for us while we were gone. We could relax because we knew they were safe, comfortable, and looked after by someone who genuinely cares. Thank you for being so dependable, kind, and patient with all the little surprises that came up. We appreciate you so much.”
“Gianna was very helpful in a last-minute request for our 4 cats, including one who requires inhaler and medicine administration. She provided thorough updates and shared pictures of all four (even the hard to find ones). For disclosure, I am a Rover employee.”
About: I have had pets my entire life. Growing up we had 5 dogs and 4 cats. I had 2 dogs through college on my own. My late dog had severe medical conditions, I am well versed in giving medications and trained in administrating saline fluids for dogs. Our animals are our family. I will provide the best care and love to your fur baby while watching them. I currently work full time Monday through Friday 6 am to 2:30 pm. I am available anytime after 2:30 pm and fully available on weekends. I would care for your pet in your home. I believe keeping pets in their own homes keeps them the most comfortable while you are away.
About: I grew up with three cats and helped take care of them. I also have experience looking after my friends and family’s cats. I absolutely love hanging out with cats and their personalities. I’m also good with cats from all ages and temperaments!
About: I have loved cats since I was a kid, despite most of my family is allergic to cats. Over the years, I have been entrusted to take care of my neighbor's 3 cats while they were out of town, which required me to feed, pick up after, and play with them. I look forward to adopting a cat of my own, but until then, I look forward to caring for yours!
About: Playful, caring, and adaptive, love spending time with dogs and animals while going on fun walks and adventures! Very loving and like to learn about other dogs personalities! I currently work part time and am in school, I would love to fit in walks and visits with your animals, please reach out to me to schedule! I love taking my dogs on walks and hikes, there excitement with it makes it so much more enjoyable while creating a great bond with the animal!
About: With over 15 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, my family member including a 7 yr old malamute husky mix and a 9 yr old cat both are rescues. I could provide reliable, attentive, and personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I’m experienced with high-energy dogs, as well as senior pets that require a calmer and more patient approach. I prioritize safety, routine, and emotional well-being. Whether it’s structured walks, feeding schedules, or administering basic medications, I make sure your pet stays comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I’m also attentive to subtle changes in behavior or health, which helps prevent issues early. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. As a pet owner myself, I treat every pet like real people and provide regular updates with photos.
“Kate is absolutely amazing. While we were on holiday she took care of our two kittens. She sent daily pictures and went above and beyond to look after them. She is kind hearted and super sweet. I highly recommend hee!”
About: I’ve had cats all my life — ranging from medical marvels to “will eat anything not nailed down.” I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs, and I can usually convince even a stubborn cat to take their medicine. My own two cats are extremely friendly, but they also have completely separate territory available when needed. Our back room can be dedicated entirely to your pet as their own territory, safe space and quiet place to relax.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lemolo
“Coco’s first visit with Makenzie was a great experience! Makenzie is warm, friendly and she really knows dogs! She had Coco relaxed and walking calmly on the leash in minutes. We will be back.”
“Ingrid watched our pup for the day and was amazing. She was flexible with our drop off/pickup time changes and sent us updates and photos. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Lexi and Victor were very easy going and responsive. We booked them so we could go hiking in Mount Rainier National Park for the day and it worked perfect. They were flexible and had great communication. Teddy had a great time.”
About: Dog care Experience 🐾 Caring for dogs has always been a meaningful part of my life. I grew up with a family dog and have spent years looking after pups of all sizes, personalities, and needs. As a dedicated dog lover, I treat every furry guest like one of my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. I do have 3 fur babies of my own. So with each new client we introduce 1 dog at a time and when I feel comfortable they will be all together under supervision of course. My home is truly a dog-loving environment. My fiancé is a mobile dog groomer and together we share a passion for providing top-quality care. Playtime and activity are an essential part of every dog’s stay. Whether it’s zoomies in the yard, interactive play, or fun, energizing walks, I make sure each pup stays happy, stimulated, and engaged. I also have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs and those with special needs, including administering medications such as eye drops. I understand the importance of patience, gentleness, and attentiveness, especially for older pets who need a little extra comfort. With me, your dog will be in safe, loving hands—because they’re not just pets, they’re family ❤️ I’m a stay-at-home dog mom, which means I’m home full-time and able to provide constant care, attention, and supervision for your pup during daycare or boarding. I do share my home with my 3 sweet fur babies. They’re friendly but can take a little time to warm up to new people and dogs. Once you drop off your pup I will allow them to sniff and explore throughout the whole entire house, front yard and backyard/garden. Then when they seem to get settled I start introduction with 1 dog at a time for about 10-15 minutes then repeat with all the dogs I have. Next step is bring 2 pups out at a time to play together but mostly its just alot of Sniffing lol Creating a calm, safe, and loving environment is very important to me, and I take the time to ensure every dog feels secure and welcomed. Your pup will be treated like part of Our Family while they’re here 🐶❤️ Home & Care Details 🐾 I have a nice, fully fenced yard where your pup can safely play, explore, and burn off energy. My three fur babies are always around to help keep your dog active, social, and engaged throughout the day. Daily activity is a priority here—we’ll enjoy plenty of playtime in the yard along with one or two walks, depending on your dog’s needs and energy level. To help keep your pup comfortable and on their normal routine, I kindly ask that you: Pre-portion your dog’s food for their stay Include their usual feeding schedule Provide enough food for the entire visit Give clear, detailed instructions for any medications, if needed This helps me provide consistent, attentive care and ensures your dog feels right at home 🐶❤️ Also at drop off time I ask that you call or send me a message letting me know when you are 20 minutes away and when you arrive. I will meet you and your fur baby on the front porch and I will take over care from there ♡♡♡
“Cheri has watched our pup twice and both times he’s come home content and ready for a little shut eye - it must be the nice, long walk in the forest. :) … Thank you for taking care of our somewhat anxious, excitable pup and for the excellent communication. Looking forward to more stays!!”

We truly appreciate your understanding and want to ensure every pup stays safe and comfortable during their stay. We are no longer accepting new clients with dogs that are over 50 lbs, or with high anxiety level , or uncontrollable barking issues.

“Valkyrie had a great time! Lexi was very welcoming and made us feel comfortable, with detailed pictures and descriptions on how the day went. Looking forward to spending more time there in the future!”
“Anji was able to watch our dogs on short notice. She was easy to communicate with and welcome our very energetic dogs into her home without any problems. Dogs were well cared for and seemed to enjoy their time. Thank you, Anji!”
“Joyce and her husband were wonderful with our Coco. They know dogs and worked so well with ours. He has a bit of separation anxiety, but Joyce and her dogs took care of that immediately. Loved the large fenced back yard and the fact that her 2 dogs were small so ours wasn’t intimated. Looking forward to working with her again.”
“So grateful that Manish (and family) were able to take Loki last minute while I went for a mountain bike ride. He was very communicative and sent lots of photos and Loki seemed to have a great time playing and walking :) much appreciated! I'll definitely look into his services again if I'm in the area!”
About: A lifelong owner of hunting breed dogs, I have a wealth of knowledge in how to give a dog their best adventure life. I currently own two friendly dogs, 13 year old GSP Quinn and 5 year old English Setter-Pointer Sherman, who would love to share their fenced half acre yard. Aiofe the cat is the newest addition to the family- her best friend is a golden retriever that comes over. When we're not at home, we're out ski touring, mountain biking, hiking or exploring. We'd love your pups to join! Is your dog more comfortable in your home? Don't worry, my other half can watch my dogs while I devote my attention to your adventure buddy. I work full time for REI buying skis and car racks, living that Work From Home life, but can work from your house if there's access to the internet. In addition to raising and training bird dogs since I was 5, I have grown up around horses and other farm animals. Whatever shape your adventure buddy comes in, I'm in! Does your dog prefer adventures closer to home? I'm just as comfortable exploring Netflix as I am hitting the trail. I love sharing my seat with a warm furry friend.
“Yukti took good care of our first Siberian puppy, Mika. She turned Mika from a naughty baby to a good dog. Yukti is very good at training dogs and she provides good discipline as well as abundant attention and exercise for my dog. We returned to her after we got our second Siberian pup. Great and professional sitter.”
“Jacklyn was great! Sent lots of (very cute!) pictures, walked McCoy, and made sure he got along with her own dog. McCoy was always happy to see her (and her dog) when we dropped him off. Jacklyn was also very responsive to us (e.g. when we had to modify our arrival/pick up time) which made our lives very easy.”
“I'm so glad I found Siyun! My senior boy did 8 days of daycare & was excited for drop-off each am with her. Siyun kept me informed & took great pictures. I would definitely recommend using her to anyone!”
“Maggie loves coming to Madeline's house. Madeline is quick to answer messages and extremely sweet. Maggie comes home exhausted even though there's no other dogs there when she is there. It means that they're spending quality time with her and that means a lot to me. I'm grateful for Madeline and her home and her sweet family”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Lemolo
About: I have walked and have had overnight stays with my neighbors dogs for 6 years now. From big dogs to small dogs and even cats! I prefer no aggressive breeds(pits, shepherds, no huskies etc) I am pretty free during the week now that my daughter has started school. I am a musician also so I am out of town sometimes for shows and gigs, but I do have free time too! If I am not here my parents are wonderful at caring for dogs and have a ton experience so they can also watch your dogs. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I do have a big yard and there are great walking trails around my house. There is also a doggy park near by. I do have an indoor/outdoor cat, but he is chill and warms up easily. If I am not here my parents are wonderful at caring for dogs and have a ton experience so they can also watch your dogs. We help each other out! Only excepting smaller to medium sized dogs for new clients currently. I do not have a fenced yard and keep all dogs on a leash whenever I am outside. They are able to run free in my home though!
“Kacey is the most incredible dog walker we have ever had. Her attention to detail, health, safety of my dog was beyond my expectations. She is reliable, on time, flexible with my crazy schedule changes and flat out amazing at her job. Highly recommend. Super grateful I found her on here.”
“Lily was fantastic with our two pups! She was on time, communicated clearly and was very reliable! She was able to help us out last minute in a time we really needed it. We will continue to use her in the future!”
About: My experience ranges wide from puppy training + care, all the way too administering medicine for senior dogs and caring for their special needs! I pride myself on ensuring the individual needs of each different pet are met, no matter what they may be! I currently attend Washington State University at the Pullman campus! I have classes M-F in the afternoon, but am extremely flexible in my scheduling otherwise! Safety & client relationships are a top priority in how I care for pets. I believe open communication between a sitter and client is crucial for peace of mind when allowing for someone else to care for your babies. I provide updates, pictures, and messages to ensure comfort on both ends. Honesty is key! I also take home safety seriously when visiting clients' properties. Locking all exterior doors, windows, and garages are a primary focus post-visiting your pet. I understand it may be nerve wracking to invite someone into your space with your furry companion, and I want to ensure I am treating your environment with the upmost respect and care.
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels.

About: I’ve always dabbled in pet sitting for the fun of traveling and meeting new breeds. Now that I’m semi - retired, I've discovered a new joy in providing care without the pressure of outside responsibilities. Having nowhere else to be means I can spend hours with your pets, letting them set the pace on our walks, and offering endless cuddles, allowing me to form trusted connections with every animal I watch. It is not that pet care fits into my life as much as pet care IS my life. It is breakfast, walk or read (depending on the species), groom, pet, games, naps, then dinner and repeat until bedtime. In follow the outline provided by the pet parent to work through the pet’s familiar daily routine. For dogs, I emphasize exercise and with cats, I emphasize stillness. For both, we find a compromise 😂
About: Hi there! Animals have been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember. My background includes working as a veterinary assistant, years of hands-on pet care experience and working as a K9 handler. I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and I strive to provide care that keeps them comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away. I have experience with high energy, senior, special needs and more. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members. I provide dependable communication, plenty of photo updates, and attentive care for dogs, cats, and other household pets. My goal is simple: to treat your pets like they're my own and give you peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I’m so excited to share that I now have FULL TIME availability for pet care! My calendar will be up to date so reach out for any help you may need! I can do daily or weekly walks and drop ins every day with no time restraints (unless I am booked). I currently do not have room to have your pet stay in my home, however I am more than happy to come to you whether that is for a walk/playtime and mealtime or for an overnight stay! I am more than happy to bring anything with me extra you might need or not have.
About: I’ve taken care of family and friends pets for as long as I can remember! Me and my girlfriend have this rover page together as we host and care for all pets together!! She is a nurse and I work in maintenance meaning we both have very flexible and open schedules- especially during the week!! We have a 8 month old golden retriever puppy who we got when she was eight weeks old. She is fully crate, trained, and potty trained. She’s super sweet with everybody and loves all animals( even our cats)! We feel confident, taking care of a variety of pets and have experience in senior dog care, puppy stages, and everything in between!! as mentioned above I have a very flexible schedule ! I’m open most timings and most days! I love taking them on walks and playing with them! My puppy loves whenever anybody comes over!! I will try to make my schedule around the dog- trying to maintain a safe environment and keep them in their typical and normal routines !
“Juan came by to take care of our kitties and it was perfect. He was communicative, respectful of our house, and did everything exactly as we wanted. Definitely rebooking with him again for Kitty care.”
About: Hi! I’m Jen — a lifelong animal lover with over 4 years of hands-on experience working at an animal shelter, plus many additional months caring for dogs and other animals on a small farm property. If there’s one thing I truly understand, it’s dogs. Especially the shy, anxious, and misunderstood ones. They hold a very special place in my heart! There is no greater feeling than earning the trust of a dog who needs a little extra patience and understanding. At the shelter I worked with every type of dog imaginable, from easygoing family pups to dogs with more complex needs due to past trauma. I was trusted to walk and handle even the more anxious or sensitive dogs, helping them build confidence and learn to trust new people. I’m very comfortable reading dog body language and adjusting my approach so each dog feels safe, respected, and understood. One of the dogs I worked closely with, Donald, needed a trusted handler present while new volunteers learned how to walk him safely, and I helped train others so he could get the exercise and enrichment he deserved. I also helped start enrichment initiatives at the shelter, including treat puzzles, mental stimulation games, and a “dog play buddy” program to give the dogs additional socialization and activity. One of my most special experiences there was helping care for a mama dog who gave birth to a litter of 10 (10!) puppies. I helped care for and socialize those puppies as they grew until they were ready for their forever homes. I also have experience caring for senior animals and understand that older pets often need a little extra patience, gentleness, and attention to their comfort and routine. Beyond dogs, I also have experience caring for cats and bunnies. Over the past few months I’ve helped care for my landlady’s 1yo kitty, and I’m very comfortable providing drop-in care and pet sitting for cats and small animals as well. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting/boarding and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, comfort level, and body language so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: every animal I care for should feel safe, so very loved, and understood. Pet care is my primary focus, so my daily routine is built around providing consistent, hands-on care. I structure my day to include regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, exercise, enrichment, and downtime, depending on each pet’s needs. I’m home for the majority of the day, which allows me to provide a high level of supervision and attention. Pets are rarely left alone for extended periods, and I’m able to adjust my schedule to support different energy levels, routines, and personalities. Whether a dog needs more activity and engagement or a calm, low-stress environment, I’m able to tailor my day to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I care for every pet based on who they are — not just a one-size-fits-all routine. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and comfort cues so pets feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for. In my home, dogs stay on a fully fenced 10-acre farm property where they can safely explore, play, and decompress. All outdoor time is supervised, and I’m intentional about creating a balanced environment — active play for dogs who love it, and plenty of quiet downtime for those who don’t. I have a friendly Mini Goldendoodle and a very mellow senior pup in the home, and I take introductions slowly and thoughtfully. I’m always prepared to separate or crate dogs if needed to keep everyone comfortable and safe. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to your routines and preferences so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I keep things calm, consistent, and predictable, which is especially important for anxious or sensitive animals. I’m very comfortable with a wide range of personalities, including dogs who need a little extra patience or structure, and I pride myself on creating an environment where pets can relax and just be themselves.
“I needed some help walking my dog due to an injury. Jojo was able to help on short notice. She’s friendly and reliable. My dogs a little shy around new people, but was clearly happy to see her after a couple days. If he’s happy I’m happy 😊 😸”
“Great little walk for my little pup! Lauren was very good with communication and loved the pictures/video she sent. Sad Boston will be losing her but enjoyed our interaction very much!”
About: With years of experience in dog care including breeding and pet sitting many different breeds such as; Labs, Pit bulls, German Shepards, Dachshunds, and Corgis for our friends and family, I have developed a deep understanding of differentiating canine needs. Above all, I believe in patience and consistency, ensuring that each dog feels cared for whether they’re with me for a short period or a long stay. I only work 3 days a week and have a very flexible schedule which would make it easy for me to care for other dogs. I also have a very helpful partner I live with who also loves animals. I have a fully fenced yard with two very friendly corgis. Our spacious yard provides plenty of room for dogs to run, play, and explore safely. We have a doggy door so they have easy access to get in and out. We live in a very safe neighborhood with lots of pet friendly trails.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of all different ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve cared for seniors, special-needs pets, anxious animals, and pets who need oral medications or a little extra patience. I’m big on following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — meals, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime, and all the little things they’re used to at home. Some pets want to be attached to your hip, while others need time and space to warm up, and I’m happy to let them set the pace. I have two cats of my own and have had cats throughout my life, so I’m very comfortable with cat care as well as dogs. I’m used to everything from easygoing pets to the stubborn, mischievous, and “will absolutely eat that if you turn around for two seconds” variety. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll pay attention to your instructions, keep you updated, and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I spend most of my free time at home and have a pretty flexible routine, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, playtime and company. We always start the day with a morning walk before I head to work, and I’m usually home by 3pm for the rest of the afternoon and evening. When I’m not home, my husband usually is, so there’s typically someone around to keep an eye on things and give your pet some company. I can sometimes accommodate short-notice requests, and I live right next to two parks in a safe neighborhood with plenty of places to walk. My home is kept pretty pet-safe — my two cats are professional troublemakers, so they’ve made sure we don’t leave much out that curious pets can get into. It’s just my husband and me at home, so there aren’t lots of unfamiliar people coming and going. We have a fully fenced backyard, and the house is mostly hardwood and tile, so scratches, muddy paws, and normal pet messes aren’t something I stress about. If your pet needs their own space, they can also have an entire room to themselves for a quiet, comfortable place to relax.

“Janessa and family took such great care of my dog for a month. My dog had such a great time playing with Janessa’s dogs in their spacious yard and her family gave her lots of love during the holidays. Communication was perfect—plenty of photos, videos and updates. We will definitely book again!”
“This was the first time we had our female GSD stay with Lisa for 3 nights and she did all the right things to get our pup (who can have some anxiety with unfamiliar boarding situations) comfortable and happy. She gave us regular updates with photos, took our pup for tons of adventures/hikes and treated her like her own dog, which is about all you can ask for. Would highly recommend her if you’re looking for some quality 1v1 care for your pup!”
“Lexi and Vic are one of a kind! Super accommodating and easy to coordinate with. My dog Finn had a blast running around with their furry friend all week and they sent great updates to let me know how my pup was doing. 10/10 would recommend and will book again!”
“Esther has watched our dog twice now, this time for a longer period and everything has gone great! Tobi seems to enjoy his time and we love getting pictures of him having fun! Thank you Esther!”
“Nikkole is amazing with our dogs and has the most beautiful yard for them to run around and be happy. She was great about updates and photos. They were so happy there. Will book again.”
“Jessi and her family are so wonderful! This is the second time Jessi’s watched our dog and we can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She goes above and beyond. We hope we’re lucky enough to have her babysit again.”
“Diana was very accommodating and took great care of Penny. She sent regular updates and photos, which we appreciated. Penny seemed happy and well cared for when we picked her up and we hope to book with her again in the future.”
“Bryan and Peggy are the best! Pippa immediately recognized Bryan and Peggy when we took her back 3 weeks after the first one night stay. She was so excited to see them again and went easily inside with them, her tail wagging. This time she stayed 2 weeks. Bryan sent lots of pictures and videos which was super nice. We could see how happy Pippa was in their loving company. She was "home away from home". Thank you Bryan and Peggy for treating and loving Pippa like your own dog. Pippa will come back whenever we need to go out of state.”
“We boarded our Great Pyrenees with Lexi for three weeks and couldn’t have been happier. Lexi was very professional and responsive in all our interactions. Our girl came home happy and seemed to have loved her stay. Lexi will be our first choice in the future!”
“Courtney always takes the very best care of Opie! Whether it is his daily walks or boarding him while we are away - she cares and loves on him like he was her own. We have total trust in her and peace knowing he is well cared for.”
“Harlie was an amazing dogsitter! She gave our pups plenty of space to roam and play, while carefully accommodating their needs—handling meds and lifting our tiny dogs with care. Super professional and thoughtful. Highly recommend her services.”
“I boarded Mango with Quang and his family for the second time and the stay was great. I received several, timely updates from Quang and he was also responsive when I had a question. Mango made new friends and came back home happy and tired. Thank you again for taking care of him! Will recommend their services.”
“Astrid and Arthur, our two adorable Sealyham Terriers, always have the best time at Jean’s! We’ve boarded with Jean multiple times and trust her to take care of our Sealys for short and long stays. Jean makes sure to board well-socialized dogs and Arthur and Astrid love to make new friends. They’re happy to come home but when we’re needing to drop them off again, they know to head to the back yard. Thanks, Jean!”
“Our big boy Simba has had the best time staying with Jordin. She sent us pictures and videos which we really appreciate and he seemed happy to see us when we picked him up but also wagging his tail as he said goodbye. We have found our new favorite place to leave him. Thank you Jordin.”
“Our Golden Retriever, Ziggy, has stayed with Jessica and her family 3x now and always is happy, healthy, and well cared for. Great communication with Jessica and frequent picture updates. We love that Ziggy becomes a part of the family when he stays over. Definitely would recommend Jessica.”
“This was Sassy’s first stay with Kaylie. She did great! Kaylie communicates quickly and often. She sent pictures and a video. Even though I could see that Sassy was really happy to see me, she was also clearly very comfortable with Kaylie. Major relief! Strong recommend!”
“Diana does a great job taking care of our dog Gracie. She sends regular pictures and updates and communicates well. Her home and neighborhood are beautiful. Another great visit.”
“I would highly recommend Katie!! I loved the pictures and updates. My puppy had such a great time and played so much that he fell asleep as soon as we got home!! :)”
“Truly amazing!!! He went above and beyond to help me out and I will be forever grateful! I had a dog I saved while in Mexico who was hit by a car and needed her sent up to the states when she was healthy. I sent him a message of my predicament as I could get her a flight into Seattle(I live in Southern Oregon) and he stepped up and helped me get her from the airport and kept her a couple days before I could make the long drive! I received lots of updates and pictures and knew I made the right choice! He treated her like his own, taking her for walks and spoiling her rotten! I wish I lived closer because I would use him repeatedly to watch my babies!!!”
