“Maria is an amazing sitter. If you are reading this review, book her services now! Maria watched my pup Milo for a week. She fell in love with him, showering him with love, treats and affection. She regularly sent updates on how he was doing, and took him out for beach walks. We scheduled a meet and greet to make sure Milo would get along with her pups. They got along fabulously and her dogs are so affectionate and sweet. Maria is also flexible with arranging pick up and drop off times which is greatly appreciated. Milo usually has some trouble eating when he is away from me. Maria quickly figured out how to soothe his anxiety and got him to eat quickly. When I came back Milo was clearly happy to see me, but also looked like he had had fun, rest and lovely time. I will book with Maria again and again! I highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“First time I have left my babies with anyone from Rover and I am SO happy I went with Lindsey and Jason. They have a perfect set up for dogs, they made sure they knew the dogs eating/potty schedules and they sent many photo updates and were quick to respond anytime I had a question. Highly recommend - will be using them in the future!!”
“Kristin was very accommodating towards Milo who is a reactive dog! I appreciate her thoroughness in our meet and greet and she did a great job taking care of Milo while we were on our trip. I had no worries while we were away. Will def book again!!”
“Colleen and her husband were perfect. It’s clear they understand dogs and know how to make them feel comfortable. Odin enjoyed our initial visit, and when we came back two months later for the drop off it was clear he was excited and happy to be there. We will absolutely ask them to watch Odin again.”
“Kirsten hosted our 1 1/2 yr old black lab for 9 days for our first Rover boarding experience and it was so smooth from drop off to pick up! Kirsten was very communicative and sent daily activity summaries and pictures throughout Skye's stay. It put our mind at ease knowing that Kirsten and her family have extensive dog experience and clearly care for each dog that comes through their home. We will definitely be having Skye stay at Kirsten's for any future trips!”
“We had an amazing experience with Leslie. She is so professional and caring. She treated our pup like her own by spoiling him with car rides to the park, walks, treats, and toys. She kept us updated with pictures and videos. We felt confident he was receiving attention and care while we were away on vacation for a week. We cannot recommend Leslie enough!!”
“Highest Reviews for Jennifer. most sitter were very prompt in getting back to me none could accommodate my schedule. Jennifer said yes and was very prompt with all of the follow-up replies. great location and setting. I will recommend her to anyone and will use her services again when needed. Thank you very much.”
“Samantha provided loving care for our dog. I was so happy to find an individual that really cared about her welfare and wellbeing. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone that wants to rest assured that your dog is in the best of hands!”
“Michelle and Samuel are the absolute best! My dog pit mix, Lazarus had the best time with their personal dog, which are BFF now! They send multiple pictures and videos all through out the day as they would include Laz in the daily walks, hikes, and fetch time, so I always know what he is up to (Helped Moms separation). Absolutely going to recommend Michelle and Samuel to friends and family, if they need a dog sitter. Don’t Think It Gets Better!! ??”
“Jessica was great! She was communicative throughout, and I felt really comfortable leaving Dakota with her. Her dog, Ollie, is super sweet, and he and Dakota got along really well. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“My shy cat Ollie thrives when he visits Kizzie! She thinks of everything for his well-being. I wish there were more Kizzies in this world - we would all be the better for it.”
“Glad to have left my Teddy at Kristina’s care. I knew he would be well taken care of while I was away. Kristina initiated the meet-and-greet which I very much appreciated. I’m always hesitant to just drop off Teddy somewhere new without meeting first so it was cool that Teddy got to meet Kristina and family and their fur baby Luna first before spending a few nights over. Kristina kept me updated with pictures and texts. And I’m grateful she adjusted time of pick up as well. Definitely recommend Kristina to watch your fur babies.”
“Bailey loves his time with Erika and her family. He also enjoys meeting new friends when there are other dogs during his visits. I appreciate the regular updates, pics/videos and especially the reassurance of his safety. Thanks again for taking such good care of Bailey and treating him like part of the family.”
“It was my first time using Rover, and I could tell my dog enjoyed staying with Chuk. She sent daily updates and was responsive to all my questions. I had to drop my dog off early in the morning and pick her up late at night, which can be challenging, but she was incredibly flexible with the timing. Thank you so much!”
“Jennifer is so kind sweet and accommodating. She was able to get us in quickly for a meet and greet before we left Baloo for several days with her overnight. She is quick in responding and genuinely cares about all the dogs she sits for and thoughtful of how may she can manage at a time.”
“Thanks for another great stay for Max! You create a spa-like environment for Max every time! We so appreciate how much you love and care for him! Thank you so much!!”
“Mike was great at communicating leading up to and during the boarding. Our dog Frankie warmed up to Mike and his wife Sherri very quickly. She got lots of exercise and was in such a happy mood when we picked her up. We were very happy to meet Mike and will be excited to have Frankie visit again.”
“Cannot recommend Dennis & Lynn enough! They took amazing care of my pup Finnley, provided frequent updates, and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and happy! I felt completely at ease while they were watching Finnley and will definitely be booking with them in the future!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Jean-Paul. We have had a tough time finding a cat sitter capable of dealing with our grumpy cat, but Jean-Paul was not deterred and handled him without issue. He gave all feedings and administered medication with ease and took extra time to give both our cats some love and playtime. He paid special attention to the litter box and water dishes, as well as the state of our house while we were away, even checking on our plants and opening some windows to air out of he house when it was unseasonably warm. His updates were informative and humorous, and put our minds at ease while we were away. Any cats would be lucky to get to hang out with Jean-Paul while their owners are away!”
“We’re new to the area, so we relied on Jess’s previous reviews when choosing a sitter for our kitty, Phillip, and we were very pleased. She did a wonderful job! Jess provided the peace of mind we needed to help us enjoy our vacation. She checked in on Phillip each day and sent photos to let us know how he was doing. When we returned, he was happy and healthy. We definitely recommend.”
“We truly appreciate the good care that Morgen takes of our senior kitty when we’re away. Morgen is thoughtful, observant, provides helpful notes about our cat’s behavior. We love getting the photos that Morgen takes; very reassuring! Thanks so much Morgen!”
About: What sets me apart is my combination of lifelong hands-on experience and professional knowledge of animal care. I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have always shared my home with cats. Growing up, my family bred our dog, and I helped raise and potty train the puppies before they went to their forever homes. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement from an early age. Today, I’m a high school Animal Science teacher, where I teach students about animal health, behavior, welfare, and responsible care. I enjoy working with dogs of all ages, especially reinforcing good manners and basic training. Friends and family often ask me for help with training their dogs, and I love helping build confidence through positive reinforcement. I’m also experienced administering medications and following detailed care instructions, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with special medical or daily care needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an adult dog who loves adventure, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or a cat who enjoys a calm companion, I’ll provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. Since I’m a teacher on summer break I have lots of weekday availability right now. I have very flexible availability, if you don’t see the time/days you need on my schedule, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I have a fenced in yard and an XL wire kennel in a calm area your furry friend is welcome to use. My dog, Lady, is very sweet and gets along really well with other dogs (even her grumpy old cousin). She loves playing with others, but I can keep her separated as needed. My cat, Mister, he is okay with other dogs coming over and just hangs out in his own space until he can trust the new doggo. I will treat your pet with the love and care I give to mine. I will follow any rules, commands, and training practices that you use with your pet. I use force-free, reward-based training to build clear communication, trust, and reliable everyday behavior. I have experience with gentle leaders, no-pull harnesses, and structured collar systems when appropriate for safety and handling. I can help with: * Loose-leash walking & pulling * Leash reactivity / frustration * Basic obedience (sit, down, stay, recall) * Recall in distracting environments * Impulse control & leash manners My approach is tailored to each dog’s temperament and focuses on real-world success and consistency between sessions. I also make sure to review each pet’s profile so owners don’t have to repeat information. For severe aggression or complex behavioral cases, I’ll communicate honestly if a certified behaviorist may be a better fit.
“Ella could not have been a better fit for my timid cat. While he wasn't much for playing, he did find the courage to come out from hiding to see her every day. So grateful for her kindness and patience in watching him while I enjoyed a much needed vacation.”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 12, my brother and I ran our own dog walking business for years until I found a job elsewhere. I would love to take care of your pet the best I can.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my dependable, calm nature.

I keep water bowls full, clean up after them, and give updates if requested. Respecting your space and your pet’s comfort is a top priority for me.
About: I’ve had cats in my life throughout my life. My cat was awesome, I trained him to use the toilet and he loved playing with feather toys and lasers. I’m not able to have a cat at the moment so taking care of them/housesitting is a good option to get to still chill with that kitty energy

“Jen was great with our dog Lucy! She was very patient as Lucy was a bit nervous and got settled in. But she took her on a lovely beach walk and Lucy really enjoyed that. Afterwards, Lucy got playtime with Jen's dog Tillie and a nice snooze in the sun. Jen kept us apprised of all the happenings with kits of photos. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Kirsten took great care of our dog! He came home happy and tired after a fun day of playing. She was also responsive and conscientious to make sure our dog was comfortable and matched up well with the other doggies at daycare that day.”
“Shannon was fantastic with my nervous rescue senior chihuahua mix. I received regular updates throughout the day, and my dog got more walks and more company/attention than if I had left her at home to work. Shannon also made sure to ask about a potential vet to contact in case of emergencies and was generally very considerate. Truly, a godsend.”
“Maria is fantastic! Marky is hesitant when it comes to interacting with people and dogs when I am not with him but Maria showed him there was nothing to fear! They take beautiful walks together, naps with his friends, and gets to play all day in a pack. He comes home tired and happy when the day is done. Maria really loves all of the dogs like her own”
“She did an amazing job with our dog! She was very flexible and able to take him on last minute. She kept us updated on how he was doing and very responsive to us through his time there. If we lived locally, we definitely would be back.”
“Thank you, Gino, for taking care of Gus today! I was definitely more anxious than him since it was his first time as an adult dog staying with someone he doesn’t know. Gino sent plenty of update photos and video throughout the day with text updates on how he was settling in, which eased my nerves. Gus wasn’t stressed or anxious when I picked him back up and so I could tell he was well taken care of. We’re looking forward to more regular daycare visits!”
“Francena is a loving, caring, and knowledgeable provider! She treats my senior Bichon like her own. She took prompt care of him when he was anxious (which he always is now that he is senior). She kept me posted and was very patient with his senior habits! She really knows dogs with all her experience in showing, breeding, grooming, and vet industries. I'm so happy to have found her!❤️”
“Such a wonderful feeling when you finally found a great sitter for your pup! Zoie has never been this happy being away from me! It only goes to show that Daisha and Tam did a fabulous job of caring for and treating my pup like their own. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommended.”
“Han is outstanding! She was so kind and understanding to my very anxious pup. I was worried about a new babysitter and if he would get along with her doggos and I was more than happy to see him fit right in to the pack! A very calm and safe environment for my little boy, such a great find.”
“One of the best places we found in a decade. They really understand each and every dog. We loved the pics they send while we were in Bora Bora Tahiti. I would highly recommend this place if you love your dog.”
“Sara was sooo wonderful!! Took Sammich during a family event and he had a ball! It was so nice to not have to worry about him for a couple of hours while we were with frail relatives.”
About: We had our first crazy dog for 11 years. We've had our current old dog for one year, and have learned to guide him around through his failing eyesight. We will have the support and advice of one family member who has been petsitting for six years. I stay at home full-time. There are usually two to four people at home at any time. Our own dog is never alone. I am available for boarding any time, and having another dog or two occasionally will be a treat for all of us. We have a yard, but no fence, so we always use leashes when going outside. We have stairs that dogs will need to navigate. The light in the staircase is always on. We have an older dog of our own who cannot see well but loves other people and other dogs. He especially likes little dogs, but occasionally objects if they get too close too fast because he cannot see them coming. We have experience giving pills, eye drops, and ear drops.
“I'm so happy to have found Maegan and Levi and their family. My dog had so much fun and came home all happy and tired after having lots of playtime. Thank you for taking such great care of our dog!”
“Jennifer and Champ are the best! They are both so welcoming. My middle-aged Lab is usually somewhat mellow and indifferent, but when he arrived for his second visit at Jennifer's house, he was super bouncy and excited! Jennifer has a big fenced yard and she has transformed her house for ultimate dog-friendly comfort. She sent pictures and updates throughout his visit, and even printed a beautiful photo of him for me to take home. Jennifer is very responsive, quickly responding to my inquiries about scheduling and and answering questions. I knew my Nikko was in good hands and I felt 100 percent comfortable leaving my pup with her. I just hope she doesn't get too popular and busy!”

About: Ive grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. I spent a lot of time with my cousin being a breeder taking her dogs to shows, I have learned how to take care of dogs and how to approach the ones that can be a handful at times.

About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience! I grew up with multiple dogs and have spent years walking and caring for pets, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with different routines, energy levels, and personalities—and I always make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. Mondays–Wednesdays are my off days and my most flexible time. I work Thursday–Sunday afternoons starting around 2, and my mornings are usually reserved for staying active—walks, workouts, or anything that gets me moving. I don’t have pets currently, but I’ve grown up caring for family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with most breeds, prioritizing calm, safe, attentive care.
About: I am good with a number of pets, I've worked with both conventional furry pets and even feathered and scaly ones, although the scales I definitely have less experience with. I've looked after people's pets plenty of times in the past, both dogs and cats. I much prefer medium or small dogs since I am a small person, but if the large dog is a gentle giant I will certainly consider it. I can work around your schedule quite well, I am very flexible! Weekdays are easy, weekends might need some negotiating but I am open to it. I own a very nervous and anxious cat, so I cannot take overnights sadly. I care for pets as if they are little people. Pets are wonderful companions for life and deserve to be cherished while we have them.
About: I am self employed and have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to watch your pup or cat or turtle or whatever. I’m near downtown seattle, so drop in/housesitting is pretty easy to schedule My work is variable and very flexible. I need enough notice to schedule and lock in overnight stays, walks and stopovers require a little less notice My home is not available for boarding, so I’m day visit/overnight option only. I am very respectful of my clients homes and the procedures that they’ve set up for caring for their furbaby
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have raised two Border Collies from puppies, giving me hands-on experience with high-energy, intelligent breeds. I have a solid understanding of basic training techniques and have spent years researching dog behavior and cues to ensure dogs feel comfortable and understood. In addition to my training knowledge, I’m experienced in administering medication and caring for dogs with special needs. Both of my dogs have different types of anxiety, so I’m well-versed in managing anxiety-related behaviors with patience and care. Growing up around a veterinary clinic taught me the importance of comprehensive care. I’m committed to giving every dog the love, attention, and protection they deserve, ensuring their safety and well-being at all times. With a flexible schedule, I’m available for last-minute bookings, ensuring your dog is always in good hands. I treat every dog as if they were my own, focusing on their safety and comfort above all.

I am currently working 5 days a week, and will be available on my days off. I miss dog sitting/dog walking as a hobby and would love to start doing it again. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs at my house, so I prefer to take care of the pets at the owners home. I would care for them by playing, taking them outside as needed, staying on a feeding schedule and possibly bathing if the owners request !

“Lance was great. He was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures to let us know that Gus was having a great time. We were very appreciative of his willingness to be flexible with pick up and drop off. Gus was a happy boy and we are looking forward to having him with Lance again in the future.”
“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.”
“Molly was wonderful throughout our pup’s six-day boarding stay. Our 10-year-old pup has several health ailments and Molly was incredibly attentive to her needs and overall well-being. The daily photos and updates kept us completely at ease during our vacation. We highly recommend Molly!”
“Kaylie is our go-to sitter! Rigby always has a great time with her pups and we’re always getting pics/videos of Kaylie playing fetch with her, which is her favorite activity.”
“Josh and Justin are the sweetest!! They went above and beyond. I wasn’t able to do pick ups or drop offs and they came to the rescue. They sent pictures of my dogs throughout their stay. They even took the time to come back to drop off a water bowl. I was so happy leaving my fur babies. My dogs did not act differently and were their normal selves. I will definitely recommend Josh and Justin! They are amazing.”
“Quang was great! Nice big backyard and a gentle dog for our dog Milo to play with. Also, Quang was very available last minute, which was super helpful to us as our plans had changed abruptly same day. Definitely recommend using Quang and will keep him on our list of favorites!”
“I'm grateful that Linda answered my last-minute request for two drop-in visits. She kept me informed with multiple texts, sent nice pictures, and said she'd love caring for my two little dogs again. Highly recommended.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Danielle. Sienna was well cared for, happy, and comfortable throughout her stay. We appreciated the communication and the updates along the way. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We’d definitely book again and highly recommend!”
