“Natalie is amazing! My dog Ellie can struggle with anxiety and fear meeting new people/places, but she seemed immediately comfortable with Natalie during our meet and greet. She was very accommodating, asked great questions at drop off to make sure Ellie was comfortable, and provided updates and photos throughout the stay. We will definitely use her again, I think Ellie was sad to say goodbye.”
“Ritta was so sweet with Daisy and Daisy had a great time playing with the other dogs and running around the obstacle course that Ritta had set up. I would highly recommend Ritta for watching after your dog. Tony”

“Thanks a ton Margaret! The dogs really enjoy their stays and our family enjoys the fact that they are safe when we can’t take them with us. We can’t thank you enough! We highly recommend Margaret for Rover services!”
“Rebecca was an amazing sitter for my golden!! Bentley came home happy as a clam and nice and worn out ( for probably the next 2-5 business days), she updated me with adorable photos and kept me in the loop with any important info! Her goldens are such good playmates and I would trust her with my boy any day. Thank you again!!”
“Jenny was amazing. Everything we read in the reviews we experienced with her. She was extremely communicative, and gave our puppy Arlo tons of love, exercise, and support during his first experience away from us. We cannot thank her enough, we are very lucky to have met her! Thank you!”
“STOP! Look no more! This is the sitter u are looking for. My frenchie loves people but is very picky with whom he cuddles with. Within one day, he was snuggling with Terri. Shes a special human who really has a connection with animals. Her pictures and updates are stellar! Book her!”
“Tracy took excellent care of Nicco. Tracy has years of experience raising and training dogs, and I felt very comfortable leaving Nicco in her care. Nicco fit in well with her family and her pack and seemed to really enjoy his time “on the farm.” I will definitely request to board again in the future!”
“Kelsey and her husband are amazing, they were extremely patient and loving toward my dog, and exercised him with walks around their beautiful property. I would highly recommend Kelsey.”
“We are so pleased with Nickey's care of our dog. Ladybug made herself at home right away, and Nickey lavished her with attention and love. It was great to get pictures and a video to show us how Ladybug was doing. We feel very fortunate to have found Nickey and have already scheduled with her for our next time away. She's wonderful!”
“Lisa is fantastic! She took amazing care of Jake - he went on multiple walks with her each day to several fun, new places. Lisa also worked with Jake on his leash walking and kept his mind busy with a treat ball. She gave us lots of updates and pictures throughout his stay. We'll definitely book with Lisa again - I think Jake was sad to come home!”
“Tunyi was calm and wonderful with our dog. She made a special effort to encourage him to eat and sent many pictures and videos each day. Highly recommend!!”
“Michelle was amazing! We loved getting update photos throughout our dogs stay, and loved hearing how loved he was while we were gone. We’ll be using Michelle for future trips!!”
“Cassie had another wonderful overnight with Christel. She came home happy and so tired! Loved all the photos, updates, and videos throughout her stay! She can't wait to go back! Christel is so wonderful!”
“Highly recommend Monica! Monica took amazing care of our dogs, Romeo and Leo, while we were on vacation. From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, responsible, and easy to work with. She kept us updated regularly with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that both Romeo and Leo were happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. When we picked them up, they came back healthy, relaxed, and in great spirits. What really stood out was how accommodating Monica was with our constantly changing travel schedule. Our trip got rescheduled multiple times, and she was very understanding and flexible, which we truly appreciated. We also loved that she only boards a small number of dogs at a time (just two), so they get plenty of attention and care. We’re so glad we found Monica and will definitely trust her again in the future”
“Max was a happy boy when we picked him up, thanks to Sukanya and Tanoy. They were very detail oriented in taking care of Max. Communication was very easy and Max had fun playing with Hushku. We’ll be contacting them again next time we need a sitter.”
“Our Jasper had an excellent stay with Craig! We met beforehand and let Jasper get comfortable with where he would be staying and got to chat with Craig and get to know him a bit. Craig was very good at walking us through all the care and attention that Jasper would receive and answered all my questions. We felt very safe leaving our pup with him. I would recommend others to reach out to Craig for his services and we will definitely use his sitting services again too.”
“Fantastic pet sitter, especially for our elderly dogs! Rachel is so attentive to our pups even with their medical needs. We felt 100% confident leaving them in her care. Thank you, Rachel!”
“Fiona was amazing with our dog, Milo. She was easy to communicate with, and flexible regarding pick up and drop off. She kept us updated about how Milo was doing while we were away. Highly recommend her.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats alike since I was eleven years old. While cats and dogs are my favorites to take care of, I also have experience caring for rodents, reptiles, and amphibians. Right now I am a college student doing school from home, so I always have time to pop in and take care of animals however best it fits their schedules. I want to do what's best for the animals overall. I am a very calm, very patient person, and have worked with dogs and cats with quite varying personalities. I work very well with energetic animals and can handle pretty much any animal mood, including jumpy dogs and angry cats.
About: I have 27 years of experience in veterinary medicine as a veterinary assistant. I'm comfortable administering oral medications and injections, caring for senior pets, and monitoring pets with special medical needs. I understand how important it is to provide patient, compassionate, and reliable care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable visits, walks, feeding, medication administration, and companionship throughout the day. I understand the importance of consistency and communication, and I enjoy spending quality time with pets while helping them maintain their normal routines when their families are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine and environment to reduce stress. I follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions carefully, while monitoring for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. With 27 years of veterinary experience, I understand the importance of safety, attention to detail, and clear communication with pet owners.
“Yeydy was great with our kitties! She was quick to respond, thoughtful and we loved seeing picture updates of our guys while on vacation! Thank you Yeydy for being an awesome sitter, I would highly recommend her. Very professional and nice! 10/10”
“Hope was great. We scheduled at pretty short notice but she made time to get to know us and our cats, asked great Qs and made us feel comfortable. The update reports and pics were great, and I love that she took the time hide a few treats around their spots to keep them active.”
“I cannot speak highly enough of Nicole's care of my beloved Ziggy and Zena. They've been extremely well taken care of and my two baby voids are clearly very happy! Further, Nicole also took incredible care of my home whilst she was here. Her dedication and fastidious approach are awesome - I've already asked Nicole to take care of my Ziggy and Zena again and expect this to be a regular engagement.”
“Joslynn showed up a couple of minutes early to walk and check in on Cali, my German shepherd puppy. Cali seemed happy and tired when I arrived home from work. Thank you to Joslynn for not being afraid of the puppy chewing and jumping stage.”
“Caitlin was amazing and took extra good care of our spicy kitty while we traveled. She took great attention to detail and we were very happy with her pet sitter abilities.”
“I cannot even begin to explain how much of a lifesaver Rebecca was while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond in everything she did. I didn't worry about my kitty at all while I was gone because I knew she was in such good hands. She was super responsive and sent me lots of pictures of my girl so I didn't miss her quite so much. We will definitely be using Rebecca for our next vacation if she is available!”
About: Experience: I've got over 1000 hours of hands on dog training and handling experience, and I absolutely love anything with four legs (even the hairless ones)! I've been a dog trainer for around 5 years, plus have around 100 hours of additional education. I am very well practiced in positive reinforcement training (meaning I never use punishment) and rewarding good behavior. As well as a dog trainer, I've also spent time as a dog bather. One of my favorite parts about training is earning the trust of the animal and seeing them become more comfortable around me and just existing in the world. Pets mental and physical health: I loooove being able to provide enrichment for pets! Enrichment is basically letting your pet interact with the world around them by encouraging them to use their senses, and practice behavior that is innate to them (think running, sniffing, chasing, etc). This not only helps get out their energy, but helps mentally tire them out. Over all it creates a more satisfied pet! This is one of my favorite parts about pet care because it allows you to really get to know the animal and understand them on a deeper level. I've owned 4 guinea pigs over the years, and am very familiar with their illnesses, health issues, and care. I am comfortable providing some medical care for them, like syringe feedings/medications. If your piggy needs different kinds of medical attention, please let me know when we initially talk. I am more than happy to learn about caring for other exotics (seriously, I learn about animal husbandry for fun). A note: while I am not super familiar with reptiles, I am more than happy to learn to about their care. Daycare and Boarding: Because I practice responsible pet care, I limit my boarding and daycare to one pet family (example: if you have two dogs, I'm only watching those two dogs, and other no dogs from outside your household). This allows me not only the ability to prevent things like potential fights between dogs who don't know each other, but also allows me the ability to give your pups more care and attention. This also explains why my prices may be a bit higher than other sitters. I'm so happy to get to meet you and your pet! I'm currently pet free (my last two pets passed away recently), so my entire day will center around your pets. I love walking dogs and caring for animals! I love spending time with animals. One of my favorite parts of training is working with the animal to get to know them and their needs, and fulfilling them with management and enrichment. I love helping animals exercise those brain muscles that they may not otherwise be able to!
“Sarah was wonderful to our two kitties while we were away. She took the time to actually play with them every visit and kept us updated on their shenanigans. We will absolutely be using her again for future visits.”
“Claudia was an awesome sitter for our two kittens. They're definitely a handful! But she gave them lots of attention, playing and cuddling with them and sending us plenty of photos and videos. Overall she was very responsible, communicative, and friendly, and we've already booked her for another stay. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive and responsive pet sitter!”

About: I bring a lifetime of experience in caring for animals and live on 10 acres of wooded pastures with 3 horses, dogs, cats, and a house rabbit. My personal pack of four rescue dogs get along well with any new dog I introduce to the family. I have been fostering dogs for a local rescue organization for several years, gaining hands-on experience with many breeds and ages of dogs. I specialize in puppy care and training and have successfully provided basic training and care for numerous foster dogs. I have experience caring for elderly dogs and am skilled in giving medication and insulin. This is an all inclusive experience for dogs! Here your dog will enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor playtime in my private dog park which offers a peaceful setting away from any traffic noise. This is true farm privacy with a ten acre buffer and plenty of natural enrichment including a natural creek, pond, and wooded pastures. Dogs will have opportunities to participate in activities like sniff walks, barn exploring, and pack walks. For puppies I keep them on a schedule for potty training, socializing, and naps. Additionally, I have a dedicated small dog area and small dogs get to enjoy couch time in the evenings! All activities are included for the boarding price. If you desire an exit bath before your dog goes home please let me know. 🐾 I enjoy working on agility training with one of my dogs who is very athletic and to expand my training knowledge, I continue to work with local dog trainers. Beyond my work with animals, I raised two children and dedicated 18 years to volunteering in our local school district, where I passed multiple background checks and supported various programs and events in schools and classrooms. My property is quiet and away from any traffic yet located just a mile from a major highway making it easy to get to for drop off and pick up! I am home everyday and spend most of my time with the animals in my care. I am happy to be flexible on timing for drop off or pick up windows and can pop in for drop in visits to give you a helping hand. In my home pets will be fed twice a day and have off leash time to relax or play with friends. If they are crate trained they will have their own crate to retreat to and dog beds to rest on. My dogs enjoy meeting new friends and provide a comforting pack to show new dogs the ropes. Outside, I always work on name recall with new dogs on leash and when they get to know me they will have supervised off leash time. Additionally, your dog may enjoy a walk to our horse barn and discover a world of sensory enrichment for their nose! In your home I can play with and feed your kitty or your pups and provide any care they need and can feed on the schedule that you request.
“Rebecca was perfect for my anxious girl. She put her right at ease and gave her a quiet spot to settle in. She sent pictures to let me know how well my dog was doing, very kind, gentle and calming. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi, my name is Kelsey! I am a mom of three wonderful kids and have decided to make a little money by doing what I love, caring for pets. I work as a real estate agent so my hours are very flexible. As someone who has needed to rely on someone to care for our pets while we are gone, I understand the importance of finding a loving and trustworthy person. I would love to care for your pets and give them a comfortable home. My first job was a vet assistant at an animal hospital and was then promoted to a receptionist. I've worked with all types of dogs and cats. I grew up fostering pets from PAWS and learned to love animals from a young age. I've had my beautiful German Shepherd for 10 years and two fun kitties for over 12 years. I would be happy to board your pet in our home. We treat every pet as our own and hope to make our home an extension of yours. Every animal is treated with care and will get tons of love from my kids. Your pets safety and happiness is my number one priority when they are in my care. We have a large yard with a dog run that is fully fenced. We will never leave your pet outside alone and if they are wounders they will be on leash. I'm currently a full time mom and real estate agent. My day is very flexible and I am home either with my kids or working. I have a fully fenced dog run which my dog loves to dig holes in and play.

I've been a dog trainer for around 5 years, plus have around 100 hours of additional education. I am very well practiced in positive reinforcement training (meaning I never use punishment) and rewarding good behavior. As well as a dog trainer, I've also spent time as a dog bather.

This also explains why my prices may be a bit higher than other sitters. I'm so happy to get to meet you and your pet! I'm currently pet free (my last two pets passed away recently), so my entire day will center around your pets. I love walking dogs and caring for animals! I love spending time with animals. One of my favorite parts of training is working with the animal to get to know them and their needs, and fulfilling them with management and enrichment. I love helping animals exercise those brain muscles that they may not otherwise be able to!

“Tunyi was calm and wonderful with our dog. She made a special effort to encourage him to eat and sent many pictures and videos each day. Highly recommend!!”
“Cassie had another wonderful overnight with Christel. She came home happy and so tired! Loved all the photos, updates, and videos throughout her stay! She can't wait to go back! Christel is so wonderful!”
“Highly recommend Monica! Monica took amazing care of our dogs, Romeo and Leo, while we were on vacation. From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, responsible, and easy to work with. She kept us updated regularly with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that both Romeo and Leo were happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. When we picked them up, they came back healthy, relaxed, and in great spirits. What really stood out was how accommodating Monica was with our constantly changing travel schedule. Our trip got rescheduled multiple times, and she was very understanding and flexible, which we truly appreciated. We also loved that she only boards a small number of dogs at a time (just two), so they get plenty of attention and care. We’re so glad we found Monica and will definitely trust her again in the future”
“Fantastic pet sitter, especially for our elderly dogs! Rachel is so attentive to our pups even with their medical needs. We felt 100% confident leaving them in her care. Thank you, Rachel!”
“Sasha is a big dog and can be a handful sometimes. But Kelsey and her family took really good care of her. We got photos and updates every day and it looks like she had a great time.”
“Michael and Leslie are extremely trustworthy and knowledgeable caretakers for our dogs. They’ve boarded them several times now and our dogs always come back happy, healthy, and tired from running around on the farm and getting to play with other visiting dogs!”
“We've dogsat with Shi Inn and Changmin before and they've always treated my dog really well. They are quick with communication and provide lots of great updates”
“My Oreo took an immediate liking to Mike and came home happy and calm. Here's hoping he'll have a chance to stay there again soon, because Mike will definitely be our first choice.”
“Ash had an absolute blast at Stephanie's. We were gone for 3 days and became home and slept an entire day. She updated us with pictures. She even washed his bedding and pillow when we picked him up. Would definitely use her again. 10 stars for Stephanie!”
“Elena is amazing. Great, constant communication and pictures. I had zero worries or complaints - never had to follow up or ask for anything. Will use her again when I travel. Savannah had a blast and was taken great care of.”
“Julie Ann was terrific. My two boys came home better trained than when they arrived at her place! Aside from taking good care of our dogs overnight, she shared with me some tips on how to have them walk better on leashes. She was able to accomplish in 5 minutes what I have been working on for 4 years! We will be booking again with her for a longer stay later this summer.”
“Conor took great care of our puppy. He regularly updated us with photos and videos that kept us close to our baby. He was kind and very responsive to our messages. I would highly recommend him to anyone.:)”
“Our pup, Olive, had a great time! Lots of great photos. We felt confident leaving our girl with Suzanne and would be happy to book with her again in the future!”
“This was our first time using Rover to find a sitter for our dog, Apollo. Tyler was the best person we could have asked for. He was super communicative ahead of time, was sending us plenty of updates while we were gone, and sent lots of photos. He also took Apollo on plenty of walks in some nice areas in Bothell. Apollo looked like he had the best time. We'd love to have him stay with Tyler again the next time we need a dog sitter.”
