“McKenna and her mom treated Musa like family. They are so sweet and loving and I could tell that our dog felt incredibly well taken care of. They are also wonderful with communication.”
“First time using Elan M./Rover service and we would highly recommend Elan M. to look after our dog next time we are in need of a sitter. Elan's daily photo updates kept us informed and relieved us of his security and care. Thank you Elan for looking after our loved one so well. Appreciate it!”
“Heather is amazing. Responds very fast and sends updates daily. Couldn’t have felt more comfortable with her watching my special needs dog. Will definitely book again.”
“Kristen sent us daily photos logging Chloe's day of being spoiled. She had multiple walks everyday and even got to lick the spoon with her food on it. There were pics of her getting belly rubs, cuddling on the sofa, sunbathing, and helping with a puzzle. We noticed Chloe seemed to miss Kristen and her family when she got home. Chloe has been asking for walks after meals and wants more attention. We will definitely book again!”
“Lena (and her family) did a great job with Cooper. They provided regular updates during his stay and video of him enjoying time outside with her youngest daughter. All in all it was a great experience and I will book with Lena again.”
“Carl is an amazing sitter! Very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and I could tell our boy was very comfortable and having a great time while we were gone. Carl’s space is fantastic for any pets, our dog loved being there. I will absolutely reach out to Carl first in the future for any sitting needs.”
“What sets David apart from other sitters is his core understanding of dog psychology and behavior. All of his many video update included some explanation of the setup, situation, or behavior in the video. He can easily make dogs feel welcome, safe, and understood.”
About: ⭐️ Get $20 off on your first booking with me! Use my code AISTEM74203. Hello! My name is Aistė (ice-tah) (she/her) and I am a small business owner and active dog walker in Capitol Hill. I'm a proud dog mom to Leila, a Blue Heeler/Jack Russel Terrier rescue. Leila and I are “Rock Star” certified by Flying Colors Canine Academy, a professional dog training school based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We enjoy exploring every neighborhood of Seattle by bike or foot and hiking trails on the weekends. I have taken care of various dogs, cats, and small animals of all abilities, special needs, shapes, and sizes for over 20 years. I enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality, training together (if needed), and going on fun adventures locally. I am currently accepting dogs, cats, and other animals for boarding and house sitting services. My schedule is flexible throughout the week as I work remotely part-time from home in Capitol Hill. I am now accepting new clients for boarding and house sitting. I live near Volunteer Park and would love to help your pet get their energy out with long walks at local parks and playtime at your home or in my fenced backyard. I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small animals in various environments and feel deeply in tune to their needs. For house sitting, I would like to meet in person or virtually to discuss your pet's needs so all questions and concerns are addressed.
“Christopher went above and beyond by providing multiple updates and photos each day, and checking in when our dogs energy levels seemed to be low (which is normal for our anxious older dog). He set up a meet and greet so we could make sure that our dogs got along before accepting the booking, which I appreciate. 10/10 would book again next time I am in need of a dog-sitter!”
“Milana & Oleg were great as always. It’s basically ours Tony second home as it’s clear that he is extremely happy there. We can rest assured that he is being taken care of with love every time we have to travel.”
“Shon and his family was an amazing host for our pupper. Nobu will definitely be staying here in future. We even got cute pictures of our furbaby everyday enjoying his time at Shon’s place.”
“She was amazing! She was so sweet to clean the litter box and litter genie. She also was very responsive and timely with photos of my Frubbles 🥰. My cat was so calm around her.”
“Kenny was great about all his communication and took wonderful care of my dog Barney. He came home relaxed! I look forward to future appointments with Kenny.”
“Olivia is so amazing! She was super attentive, detail-oriented, and took such good care of our very attention-needy pup. I can tell my dog had the best time at Olivia’s. Highly recommend!”
“Quinten took such good care of our puppy! It was our first time leaving Margo for a night and we were a little anxious dropping her off. It reminded us of leaving our human babies with a sitter for the first time. But Quinten sent photos and videos and shared how she was playing with the other dogs in his care. It gave us peace of mind seeing her wagging her tail and getting cuddles. We will definitely have him care for Margo in the future!”
“Great stay with Cheryl, Rico, and Ken. Our dog was well cared for and the family provided multiple pictures a day. Very happy with their communication and appeared to make our dog feel at home.”
“This was Rufio's second time staying with Liz and he was so excited to see her when we arrived for drop-off! Everything was just as fabulous as his first stay. Liz is very thoughtful in her care approach and we greatly appreciated all the photos and updates! Also, it was very hot while we were gone and she was wonderful adjusting his schedule to make sure he stayed out of the high heat while still getting lots of exercise, we're very grateful for all she does!”
“Vivian was great- flexible and communicative. The emails and pictures of Luna helped me know how her days were going while we were separated so I wouldn't worry about my furry best friend. Thanks, Vivian.”
“Laila, fit us in at the last minute and was absolutely wonderful! My chihuahua is a bit much for a lot of people and he has a very strong bond to me. He liked Laila right away and I was able to leave him with a peaceful heart. She sent me so many pictures and videos that I never had to wonder if he was being cared for and happy. She showed me without me ever having to ask. I have never picked him up from a sitter when he did not run to me and jump in the car ready to go home. But, when Laila brought him outside to go home he wanted to go on their usual walk and was genuinely sad to leave. 11 out of ten! He is so calm and happy I’m so glad Laila was able to watch him for me this weekend!”

“Chad is great! He updated us once in a while about our cat, which we are very appreciative about because he tends to be shy. He gave him time and space to warm up and ensure that he can feel at home.😀❤️”
“I've always had a great experience with Maura. She is punctual and takes care of my cats really well. Both my cats are very comfortable around her (even my introverted and scared cat). I love that she sends a detailed message about the cats along with pictures after every check in.”
“Jackie is an amazing communicator, truly cares about the animals she cares for, and proactively thinks of solutions to make nervous animals feel safe. I love that when I’m gone I don’t need to worry, every trip is always so easy to come home knowing my kittens have everything they need while I’m gone. Thanks, Jackie!”
“I recently had Mackenzie care for my four cats over a 6-day period, and I couldn't be more impressed. She went above and beyond in every way: Reliability & Responsibility: Mackenzie stayed on top of all the essentials; fresh food and water daily, spotless litter boxes, and consistent care throughout her visits. Communication & Peace of Mind: What really set her apart was the amazing pictures she sent! Getting regular updates with photos of my cats playing, napping, and enjoying themselves made the time away so much easier. It's clear she genuinely cares about keeping pet parents informed and reassured. Genuine Affection: Beyond the basics, Mackenzie gave my cats attention and affection. She played with them, petted them, and treated them like they were her own. Overall Mackenzie is exactly what you want in a pet sitter: responsible, caring, communicative, and trustworthy. My four cats are already looking forward to her next visit, and so am I! I will absolutely be booking Mackenzie again. If you're looking for someone to care for your cats with professionalism and genuine love, she's your person.”
“Cydnie watched our kitty over the holidays for the first time and was fabulous! She had to dispense pills and ear drops and had no trouble. And our kitty loved her visits! Lots of play time and she sent photos and updates daily. I will absolutely book her again!”
“Alexander took excellent care of our cats. He tends to the details, filling extra bowl of kibbles etc. Our two cats are typically shy from strangers but they got along with Alexander right away. Will definitely come back!”
About: I've taken care of my family's dogs since I was 10, as well as the many different dogs (and puppies) we fostered over the years. I've also had some experience caring for my family's two cats (including one very talkative Bengal) for 5ish years. Some of my close friends and neighbors have also entrusted me with caring for their furry friends, including feeding, walking, and generally caring for and about them. I'm a part-time worker and student with a variable but fairly flexible schedule! I’d love to spend time with your furry friends—whether it’s walks, playtime, or house sitting. I'm happy to give your pet the love and attention they deserve! I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and your preferences. For pet sitting in your home, I: - Usually follow your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them comfortable and happy. - I'm happy to provide updates, photos, or messages so you can stay in the loop. - Ensure a safe, calm, and stress-free environment—whether it’s a quick visit or an overnight stay.
“We booked with Mik a little last minute a week before our two week international trip when our initial sitter was a no show for a meet and greet, and we are so glad we did! Mik was professional, and excellent communicator, and was very flexible working together with a family member who was also caring for our pets; especially when new challenges came up (our cat was hospitalized the weekend before we left for a urinary blockage). She was awesome at interacting with our pets at the level they were comfortable with, and I could tell that they became buds by the end of our trip! ☺️ We also appreciated all of the pictures and details we were given during her home visits, as well as how Mik put in the effort to provide engagement and stimulation for our pets on a variety of ways. I would definitely recommend booking with her, and we hope to do so again in the future!”
“We've had multiple great experiences with Gina! She is very communicative - sending lots of photos and updates each day. She makes sure that our Sam gets time to play and explore during each visit and he was his usual happy, chatty self when we returned home. We'll definitely be booking with Gina again!”
“Camille was great! She took wonderful care of my two cats. Sometimes when I travel my cats are a little miffed but this time they seemed very content when I returned home. It is nice to know your pets are in good hands.”
About: I've taken care of medium dogs belonging to friends and family 😊 I've brushed, walked, fed, played, and cuddled with many different dogs, so I've got you covered! I'm currently working part time and am a part-time college student, so I have a lot of time to put into pet care :) I love going on adventures in my free time, whether it is to new parks or hikes! I have a very large fenced in yard and pickleball/basketball court, so your pup will have lots of room to run! I'm also located very close to multiple parks/dog parks (downtown bellevue park, newcastle beach park, robinswood dog park, etc.!) and my neighborhood also has a large grass field perfect for playing fetch. My home is also spacious and equipped with AC to keep your dog cool in the heat.
“Olivia took great care of our 16 year old cat Pepper while we were on vacation for a week. We received daily updates with notes and photos. Olive administered the medication pepper needed and provided the extra loving that Pepper craves. Thank you Olivia for taking such good care of our kitty.”
About: With years of experience caring for multiple cats at home, I’ve developed a deep, intuitive understanding of feline behavior. I’m confident in handling everything from medication routines to maintaining a spotless, stress-free environment. I approach each cat with quiet respect and gentle presence — allowing them to feel safe, seen, and at ease. My care is always tailored to their pace, their comfort, and their personality.
“Alexis did an amazing job taking care of our cat Daisy! Very reliable and punctual. Highly recommend her if you’re thinking of leaving your furry babies home in good hands😊”
“Maya was fabulous. She was patient with Byjou and did a great job around little beastie 02. (My dog (beastie 01) yields to her majesty). From photos byjou is already slowly accepting Maya and that is wonderful to see as she is a rescue. Will definitely be requesting Maya again.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our cats while we were gone. Really appreciate it. Thanks for bringing in our Amazon Subscribe and Save boxes and garbage toters too. We can't thank you enough. Happy Holidays!”

“Todd is awesome! He’s very detail oriented and listened to all of our tidbits about Ziggy before caring for him. He kept him active all day and spoiled him with the dog park, walks, and treats!”
“Elan and family are great! Fast responses and kept me up to date with pictures throughout the day. My dog had a great time and came home tired from all the play. I would be comfortable with Elan watching my dog again.”
“As always, Mckenna and her mom Shirley took the best care of my old dog Chewie, and he's not easy! Thank you so much, Mckenna and Shirley! I'm always sure Chewie is happy and well taken care of when he's at your house.”
“Chris has been absolutely amazing. I just moved from across the country with one of my three dogs, and he has been having a hard time adjusting to apartment life (aka screaming his head off). After I got an email from my property manager after my first day of work I was frantically looking for a sitter for the next day. Chris was not only able to accommodate Casper the following day after my request, but also last minute on a weekend for an event I was hosting. I cannot thank Chris enough for his help and for putting up with some of Casper’s antics.”
“Olivia accepted my last minute request and I’m so thankful she did. She did a great job watching my dog and kept me updated along with pictures. Thank you so much!”
“We just completed Mello’s second daycare stay with Cheryl, four days after her first visit, and it went just as well as the first! It has been wonderful to see Mello becoming more comfortable and confident in Cheryl’s care. As a dog with anxiety, we were especially happy to hear that Mello showed very few anxiety-related behaviors during her stay. Mello had a great time spending the day with the other dogs and enjoyed exploring the neighborhood on walks. Cheryl continued to provide plenty of updates and photos throughout the day, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how much fun Mello was having. We really appreciate Cheryl’s attentiveness, communication, and genuine care for Mello’s well-being.”
“Kai was so good with our dogs. He sent lots of updates with videos throughout the day. The dogs seemed to have a great time with him. We will definitely be booking again with Kai!”
About: Constant Companionship & Peace of Mind As a full-time remote professional (WFH), your pet will never feel lonely at my home. I am here 24/7 to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and, most importantly, all the cuddles they deserve. Unlike sitters who work out of the home, I can adapt my schedule entirely to your pet’s routine, ensuring they feel safe and settled. Expertise in Specialized Care What truly sets me apart is my experience with high-need pets. I personally raised one of my resident cats from just 2 weeks old—a journey that required immense patience, around-the-clock bottle feeding, and meticulous care. This experience has made me exceptionally attentive to subtle changes in a pet's mood or health, making me a great fit for puppies, seniors, or pets who need a little extra TLC. Lifelong Small Breed Lover Before becoming a cat mom to my two sweet residents, I grew up with a Teddy Dog and a Yorkshire Terrier. I understand the spirited personalities and specific safety needs of small breeds. Living in a cozy townhouse, I specialize in creating a calm, indoor sanctuary supplemented by quality morning and evening walks to keep them active and happy. A Natural Connection I’ve been called an "animal magnet" since I was a child. I believe in patient, positive reinforcement and respect each pet's unique boundaries. Your furry family member will be treated exactly like my own—with unconditional love and professional responsibility. Full-Time Care & Attention As a dedicated pet parent to two cats, my life already revolves around animal care. My WFH status allows me to offer constant supervision and a flexible schedule tailored to your pet's needs. Since I live in a townhouse without a yard, I prioritize quality outdoor time with dedicated morning and evening walks. During the work day, your pet will enjoy a calm, climate-controlled environment with me right by their side. Whether they need a quick play session between my meetings or a quiet spot to nap, I am here to ensure they are happy and comfortable 24/7. Every pet has a unique personality and set of needs. My first priority is to mirror the routine they are used to at home to minimize stress. Whether it’s a specific feeding time, a favorite toy, or a particular way they like to be scratched, I follow your instructions to the letter. When Staying in My Home (Boarding/Daycare): Constant Supervision: Since I work from home, your pet will be in the same room as me most of the day. They will have full access to a comfortable, climate-controlled environment. Safety & Integration: With two resident cats, I am an expert at slow, safe introductions. If your pet prefers their own space, my townhouse allows for easy separation to ensure everyone feels secure and relaxed. Active Outdoors: Since I don't have a yard, I prioritize quality time outside. We will go on at least two dedicated walks (morning and evening) and frequent quick potty breaks to keep them stimulated and happy. Cat-Specific Care: For cat guests, I provide meticulous litter box maintenance and plenty of interactive play with wand toys and feathers. When Visiting Your Home (Drop-ins/House Sitting): Home Security & Tidiness: I treat your home with the utmost respect. I ensure all doors are locked, mail is brought in if needed, and the space remains exactly as you left it. Quality One-on-One Time: I don’t just "fill the bowl." I spend the entire duration of the visit engaging with your pet, providing companionship, and making sure they feel loved while you're away. Detailed Updates: I am a big communicator! You can expect frequent photo and video updates of our adventures, so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing.
“Took very great care of my pups! My pups felt very much at home and loved being in their care. Very communicative and provided AMAZING care. Will be using again in the future!”
“It was a great experience to have a day boarding for my Dog June with Christina. She was very responsive, updated us with pictures and videos and followed all her care instructions really well. June came back happy. I would highly recommend her!”
“Hands down the best sitter I’ve found in this city. Erica is super communicative and friendly. She has a lot of experience with dogs and she understands their behaviors well. My dog picked up on her warm energy and I could tell she had a great time. Can’t recommend Erica enough!”
“Candace is an amazing person. She accepted our request on an urgent basis. She took care of dog very well. She gave the access of the camera in the backyard so that we can see our pup enjoying live. Her pups are amazing , welcomed my dog very well. She followed all the instructions! I would definitely recommend her to all pup parents. I would definitely reach out to her , whenever i am in town next! Thanks Candace for taking such good care of m baby.”
“Ketaki is great! Bernoulli had fun at her place. Ketaki shares a lot of photos and videos, also shares a lot of knowledge on puppy training etc. Will definitely book again if I need”
“Rachael was great! Sadie can be a little shy and nervous at first but she warmed up quickly to Rachael. We loved that she got a trip to the dog park too! Rachael had great communication and sent us some videos of Sadie playing.”
“Ya-Han was amazing with Snowy! I loved receiving regular updates and adorable pictures, which reassured me that Snowy was having a fantastic time. It’s clear that Ya-Han genuinely cares for the pets she looks after. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet daycare provider, and I’m looking forward to booking with her again!”

About: I have been caring for my own animals for over 8 years. Our furry, scaly, feathery family members deserve the upmost respect and care. I've done various tasks such as claw care, simple grooming, specially diets, oral and injectable medications, and bathroom trips/litter scooping. I am up for any challenge, not afraid to get a little messy, or willing to take the extra time needed to sooth an overwhelmed pet. Just let me know how I can care for your pets! I am a full-time student, with only 2 classes in the week midday on Monday and Wednesday. Otherwise I devote my time to the gym and professional development. I am a non-smoker and non-drinker. Confidentiality is first nature to me. I am in the US Military, 4 times deployed, I understand privacy and security is imparative. My only desire is to look after your pets, I may bring a laptop to get any school work done but otherwise my priority is to follow the guidance set for me to make sure your pet and/or home is taken care of! I do not smoke at all :>
About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs and other fluffy friends for most of my life. Pets are our best friends and companions, they deserve an attentive caretaker while their humans are away. I strive to make sure your loved ones are cared for exactly as you ask. Every pet has their own special needs, especially as they age. I have experience with older animals as well and am comfortable administering medications. I’m soft spoken and patient and will ensure they feel safe and comfortable with my presence. I have two shelter cats at home who my partner and I spoil with love daily. We are looking forward to adopting a dog in the future and adding to our family! I have a flexible schedule and am local to the island. I focus my availability to just the island so I can quickly make it to our scheduled bookings on time. While I don’t offer boarding services at this time, I will gladly maintain your routine with your pet in your home. If you crate your dog or have dedicated play spaces I’ll be sure to follow your guidelines. Any preferences for walk locations can also be abided by. I’ll be sure to work with your timid animals to build a trust relationship with them.
About: Hi! I’m excited to meet new pets and provide loving, reliable care while you’re away. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I love giving treats, attention, playtime, and plenty of snuggles to help pets feel comfortable and happy. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work with your pet’s routine and specific needs. I follow structured schedules to make sure your pets receive the best care possible. The more information you share about your pet, the better I can tailor their care and keep them feeling safe and comfortable. Thank you for considering me as your sitter — I truly appreciate the opportunity and look forward to helping with your pet care needs! I currently work part-time 4 days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available all day on Wednesdays through Fridays. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and weekends I’m available after work, typically no later than 2 PM willing to check on pete before I start my shift! I’m always happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that works best and will make sure your pets receive lots of attention, care, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. 😊 I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in both my home and my client’s home. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, walks, and any special needs to help pets feel as stress free as possible. I’m patient, reliable, and will treat your pets like they’re my own while keeping you updated along the way
About: Hello! Here’s a little bit about me. I am currently a kindergarten teacher and I was born and raised in Washington. I would love a pet of my own, but I am not home enough during the school year. I’d love to be your pets new best friend while you’re away! The services I will be offering are drop-in visits and dog walks. I’ve looked after many dogs and cats in my lifetime (dog sitting, dog walking, drop-ins for my friends cats, etc.). I also used to have a dog of my own! I look forward to taking care of your pet and giving them attention and love while you’re away. As previously mentioned, I am a teacher. Most of the time, I am in my classroom teaching students how to read, write and count! But, in my free time, I’d love to play with/take care of some adorable dogs and cats. I have a lot of time after work and a lot of free time on weekends. Additionally, we have lots of breaks and three-day weekends throughout the school year where I’m typically free. During the summer, I’ll be the most active on this app because we have two months off! I will most likely not offer services that give pets the opportunity stay with me in my apartment, but when I am in your home I will be respectful of your space and leave everything exactly how it was.
“Yoon is phenomenal! She is thoughtful and skilled, immediately taking to my dogs and making everyone feel at ease. She has such a positive attitude and is a great communicator, she is trustworthy and kind. And not to mention, my dogs adore her! I would give Yoon my highest recommendation, thank you.”
“Olivia responded quickly to my dog’s need for a walk! She was flexible and attentive and made sure we found a time that worked. It went so well that I have booked 4 more walking sessions. She is intuitive with my dogs needs and truly cares about what is best for him.”
“Kai is doing a great job. I had surgery and needed someone to walk my dog 3x/day. He answered the call immediately, came to the house to introduce himself and appeared the next day at 7:15 AM. He has been very punctual and dependable. My dog, who doesn't like to walk with people she doesn't know, wags her tale when he comes to the door. HE is terrific!”
“Bibiana walked Pluto for the whole week i was gone. She was always on time, communicative, friendly and responsible. we would love to work with Bibiana again. Highly recommended.”
About: In preparation for my first puppy as a single-puppy-parent, I did a ton of research and hit the ground running when I adopted my first rat terrier puppy. We went through many and frequent training classes and socialization outings so that my dog would grow up to become a happy, well-socialized, nearly fearless adult. I believe in positive reinforcement and can't help but give all the love to all the furkids around me. I've also adopted and lost my heart to larger furkids. Our 2 retired racing greyhounds crossed over the rainbow bridge a few years and left a big void in our family. My first rat terrier recently left us, so we are now just a 1-dog family. I'm an indoor and outdoor gardener, a very amateur macro photographer, woodworker, general DIYer and dabbler in many things. My dogs like to hang out in the sunshine with me whenever I'm gardening or trying to capture a shot of something interesting in the garden. Travel is one of my passions and I've left my little guys with Rover dog sitters many times in the past. I would love to take care of your little ones while you are unable.
About: I've cared for and loved dogs (and cats) for my entire life (and I'm old enough to get senior discounts!). From giant breeds to tiny mixes, I have a seventh sense for how your pup best interacts with the world. Shy dogs, reactive dogs, energetic dogs and all in between are welcome and will be thoughtfully cared for. I'm at home full-time and can give your pup the attention he or she deserves 24/7. I live within 5 minutes of 2 parks, one on the lake if that's what your dog likes. Fully fenced, large backyard that dogs can access all day. Live with a VERY sweet, even-tempered 2 year-old female St Bernese (Bernese/St. Bernard) and an outdoor kitty. Pups will have unrestricted use of the house. Most importantly, I care and will work with you to give your pup the most comfortable homestay possible.
About: With over 25 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I bring a lifetime of love, knowledge, and respect for animals into everything I do. Growing up with dogs, I quickly learned how to read their behavior, meet their needs, and most importantly—treat them like family. I’m attentive, empathetic, and deeply in tune with animal behavior. Whether your pet needs active play, a calm cuddle buddy, or specialized care, I offer a safe and loving environment where they can feel at home—even when you’re away. With no pets of my own currently, your dog will have my full, undivided attention. I have a fenced back yard that is covered completely in shade with enough space for the dogs to run and play outside with each other
“Allexis is the best dog walker I've ever had! She is so communicative, kind, caring and flexible. My dog has struggled with some big life changes and transitions we've been going through and Allexis has been patient and loving with her. I've seen a huge difference in my dog's demeanor since Allexis and I've so grateful!”
“HIGHLY recommend Jackie. She was great with Riley, and communicated well with me. Super friendly and responsive. Didn't worry at all about Riley while I was at work because I knew Jackie would be there. Would hire her again for sure if/when the opportunity arises.”
About: I have a great understanding of dogs and a close bond with all animals. I have a 6 year old black lab mix - she is the sweetest dog in the world. She is smart and has so much personality and I would would do anything for her. I am comfortable with literally any type of dog and I understand how to manage tiny dogs and giant breeds. I have experience with most types of dogs. Sitting dogs is always a good time, and having Lily makes for good company. Walking dogs is fun because I am always active and would be able to walk and play with the dogs and even take them to the park daily. I work remotely from home and will have all the time, energy and focus to ensure a satisfactory experience. I have a dog and they would also be able to keep each other company. I have a 6 year old dog and your pet will receive the same constant care and attention I give to her. I can provide ample exercise and indoor stimulation. Daily park visits as well.

“First time using Elan M./Rover service and we would highly recommend Elan M. to look after our dog next time we are in need of a sitter. Elan's daily photo updates kept us informed and relieved us of his security and care. Thank you Elan for looking after our loved one so well. Appreciate it!”
“Carl is an amazing sitter! Very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and I could tell our boy was very comfortable and having a great time while we were gone. Carl’s space is fantastic for any pets, our dog loved being there. I will absolutely reach out to Carl first in the future for any sitting needs.”

I am now accepting new clients for boarding and house sitting. I live near Volunteer Park and would love to help your pet get their energy out with long walks at local parks and playtime at your home or in my fenced backyard. I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small animals in various environments and feel deeply in tune to their needs. For house sitting, I would like to meet in person or virtually to discuss your pet's needs so all questions and concerns are addressed.
“Milana & Oleg were great as always. It’s basically ours Tony second home as it’s clear that he is extremely happy there. We can rest assured that he is being taken care of with love every time we have to travel.”
“Great stay with Cheryl, Rico, and Ken. Our dog was well cared for and the family provided multiple pictures a day. Very happy with their communication and appeared to make our dog feel at home.”
“This was Rufio's second time staying with Liz and he was so excited to see her when we arrived for drop-off! Everything was just as fabulous as his first stay. Liz is very thoughtful in her care approach and we greatly appreciated all the photos and updates! Also, it was very hot while we were gone and she was wonderful adjusting his schedule to make sure he stayed out of the high heat while still getting lots of exercise, we're very grateful for all she does!”
“Vivian was great- flexible and communicative. The emails and pictures of Luna helped me know how her days were going while we were separated so I wouldn't worry about my furry best friend. Thanks, Vivian.”
“Elise and James have boarded our girls twice now and we’ve booked them again for an upcoming trip. They take great care of them, send daily updates, and clearly love dogs. Couldn’t ask for better sitters!”
“Leio and Leah and their family were amazing! They poured so much attention and affection to our dog and it's clear he loved every minute of it. They were communicative and provided great photos during our trip which we really loved as well. Would definitely return to for future sittings!”
“Randsell was super communicative and was very caring! I could tell our cat was very reluctant in parting ways with her when I went to pick him up. I'm very grateful she was available last minute for our trip to cat sit.”
“Wanqing was wonderful! She took care of my dog, Goldie, in my home for the afternoon. Goldie rarely lets anyone pick her up, but she was sitting in Wanqing's lap when I got home. Wanqing was arrived on time, actually early, was friendly and communicative during my time away. I definitely recommend Wanqing and will request her to dog sit Goldie again!”
“Josh was attentive from the get-go during the meet and greet. He asked thorough questions about Jackson and took great notes. We knew Jackson was in good hands during our long weekend trip away and completely felt that Jackson was safe and comfortable. Josh even supplemented additional kibbles when we didn’t pack enough food. We’re very happy with Josh’s service and care of our pup!”
“Tiffany was the absolute best! She gave me timely, detailed updates for every day Maya was with her. When I got stuck out of the country for two additional days, Tiffany stepped up and was able to accommodate the last-minute change. I highly recommend her for any and all pet care, and will definitely be hiring her again.”
“Deborah took great care of Leo - she was the perfect balance of calm, fun, and firm for him. We got regular updates on his stay, making it easy for us to relax and enjoy our vacation. We will definitely book again for future trips!”
“Mahlan was a great sitter for my dog, Raya. Consistently sent photos and videos of her, and also keeping me updated with her daily activities. Raya can be a little challenging at times, but I definitely felt comfortable that Mahlan would be able to handle her. She also looked like she had a blast with Nunu, especially since we were able to set up a meet and greet beforehand. Would book again in the future👍🏽”
“We left our 2 yr old lab puppy - Butter with Alexa. Alexa was considerate about needs of Butter as a young and energetic puppy and she made sure her house was safe for Butter. While staying with Alexa, Butter went on new adventures, made new dog and cat friends and a wonderful time staying home and playing with her daughter. Thanks Alexa for taking good care of Butter.”
“We have a very energetic dog that doesn’t always do the best with other dogs. Lisa did a great job giving him the 1:1 attention and was very active with him. She also gave him a bath so he come home clean and tired :) He had a blast and I think will sleep for a few days at home!”
