Maria was great from beginning to end. She has such a great location-with great views. She has a great set up for dogs to be relaxed and comfortable. She sent daily updates (pics, positive affirmations and even videos) which really allowed us to enjoy our human vacation knowing our furbaby was in such great care. We will be booking again and recommend you do too!

Leaving my 21 month Boston with Kirsten and her family for 6 nights was my first experience of leaving my dog with anyone overnight. We have been together almost 24/7 since I got her as a puppy as I work remotely. We had a fantastic experience! At the meet and greet Kirsten made the effort to connect and relate to Lucy and invited us to experience where she would be living and playing. As well as introducing her to dogs she would be playing with. It all was very reassuring. Lucy clearly enjoyed Kirsten and her family. She was happy to be there, and it was the perfect place! I’m happy to know now that Lucy can stay at Kirsten’s to so I can feel free to travel through the future! Highly recommend!!

This is our first time leaving Nigel with someone other than a family or friend and Samantha did great! She checked in and sent pictures throughout his stay. We love how she is a single dog home since Nigel is much more of a people person. Her home is very dog friendly and safe. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Kristina responded quickly to my last minute request. She was open to chatting with me to learn about him and how she could make him comfortable. Even though my dog has some behavior problems, Kristina was still open to working with him. She kept us up to date with pictures and comments on how he was doing. She treated my dog very well. I wouldn't hesitate to have Kristina watch my dog again in the future.

Dennis and Lynn watched our 8-month old golden retriever for just over two weeks and absolutely loved every part of their accommodations!! They even sent us daily updates and videos, took her for daily walks, played in the yard with her, and were very accommodating to us first-time “parents”; much more personal than a typical boarding situation. We will definitely be reaching out to Dennis and Lynn again if we need an overnight sitter. Thanks again!

Anaiya LOVES Josh and Mario, so much that she didn’t want to leave when I came to pick her up. She was excited to see me and then went back to Mario and rolled over to show her belly 😆 They made sure she had plenty of exercise and time hanging out in the backyard. Will definitely use them again for my next trip!

We used Jennifer for boarding our dog and on the first night our dog started having some serious medical issues. Jennifer was very proactive about contacting me to let me know what was going on and sending pictures. My sister in-law ended up picking up my dog to take her to the vet and was able to work with Jennifer to arrange a pick up time. Since our time was cut short Jennifer was also proactive about helping me get a refund for the partial stay. Jennifer went above and beyond what I expected and I am very grateful! I am hoping to use her again in the future.

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.

This was my first experience with Rover and I must say it all went so great. Rikke was absolutely amazing! I’m pretty sure Milo might want to live at their house he had so much fun. They welcomed him as part of their family. Thanks so much for loving him, keeping him safe, and totally entertained. And for all the cute pictures. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. If I ever return to Seattle with Milo I would 100% leave Milo with Rikke again. She’s literally the best.

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!

About: Hi I'm Morgen. I'm a seattleite who relocated to Vashon Island for a quiet farm life. I live on 2.5 acres of woodland, half of which is fully fenced with 8ft tall deer fencing. There is plenty of room to run free and explore safely. It is honestly dog paradise! Dog boarding clients have affectionately referred to it as Camp Morgen as their dogs come home happy and tired. I have a background in working with kids but had to take a break due to disabling health conditions. Pet sitting, and in particular dog boarding, allows me to provide for myself while being unable to work a full time regular job. I have been taking care of animals my whole life, starting with dog walking and cat sitting as a child. I have two rescue dogs of my own, Freyja and Juji. They reflect each halves of my soul respectively. Freyja is a skeptic who loves to lounge. Juji loves everybody and wants to go on every adventure. They enjoy other dogs but do require proper introductions with new friends to make sure all personalities jive. I have dabbled in sheep herding with Juji, and trained both dogs myself. I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, shy dogs, reactive dogs, big dogs, little dogs, and medically complex dogs, as well as cats and farm animals! Send me a message if you'd like my help caring for your furry friend! I am home most days so I am able to be attentive and provide high quality care. I am available for short and long term stays, daycare, or home visits to check on cats or farm animals while you are away. My fenced property allows dogs to roam free and explore safely. Dogs are welcome in my home and on my furniture unless you prefer them to stay off. We generally play lots of fetch, go for walks in the woods or around the neighborhood, take trips to the beach, and have lots of snuggles. Cat visits and farm care includes morning and evening visits to do head counts, say hello, feed, clean litter, and lock/unlock coops. I am highly communicative and can send lots of pictures of your critters upon request.

About: have 2 years of hands-on experience caring for cats and genuinely enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. My experience includes feeding, brushing, litter box care, playtime, and providing plenty of attention based on each cat’s individual personality and needs. I understand how important routine and patience can be for cats, especially in their home environment. Whether your cat is social and playful or more shy and independent, I take the time to help them feel comfortable and respected. I’m also comfortable administering medications with clear instructions and always aim to provide dependable, attentive care and regular updates for pet parents.

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.

About: Since I was 9 I have grown up with bunnies, dogs, and guinea pigs! It was early morning feeds, cleaning cage and the most fun part of it all was playing, cuddling and loving on the animals. When I turned 16 in school for extra credits I volunteered at a animal shelter in Bothell WA and loved every minute of it! Especially one day when a cat would not eat and I decided to go in the cage and just talk to the cat and gentle touches and took some food into my hand and eventually the cat started eating!! From that moment every chance I could I would walk, feed, clean, bath and play with the neighbors dogs, cats even horses!! So as you can tell I have some experience with animals and the love and companion and care as well as patience. I have also trained a few of my friends dogs the basic behaviors as well as my own! I'm not an expert but I do have the ability and patience to help with unwanted behaviors like barking, sitting, laying down, no jump, easy, wait, and I learned it all on you-tube! This is why I am trying a different path in my life and I just wanna show all the care I have for these furry friends and as well as the owners because it all starts with good customer service!! I am reliable understanding of schedules and want to meet everyone's needs to the best of my abilities because in the end its about the care and needs of your furry loved ones!!! Thank you and hope to meet you furrry-soon!!! My schedule is your schedule! If it works than it works if not we will find a solution and make it work!! I am open to any schedule!! If the need is my home, I have a fenced backyard its not a big yard but it is plenty to run and get that energy out. I have 2 dogs and a cat but I can separate if needed I am very alert and will be there always to keep an out out as well as just playing. Its all about communicating and letting me know as well how you would like to see things if the care is at my home! Always open to suggestions! Animals are like kids they have needs and I want to know so I can care for them the best way but of course no one can care for them like their owner!!

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!

Cooper had a great time with Sara. She sent pictures throughout the day, and sent notes on what he was up to. The other dogs were friendly, and there were more pictures of them all playing together. The whole process was great, and I’ll definitely be booking her again.

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.

Oh my gosh......Hope. She has been such a great addition to Lilli's walkers/pet sitters. Lilli loves spending time with her. She is very chill, and dependable, timely & just a nice person. She gets Lills out and active and burning energy. She has a natural ability with dogs (with Lilli). She is attentive, yet doesn't freak out when Lilli does dog things, which I appreciate so much. Thanks Hope - we love you.

About: Hi, I'm Julia! Caring for and connecting with animals is a life passion and purpose of mine. I crave animal companionship but don’t have any pets of my own, so I’d love to care for yours. I adore and am confident caring for all kinds of creatures…and they love me, too! I have tons of experience with big dogs, puppies, anxious dogs, disabled animals, and all types of cat personalities. Even goats, horses, cows, rabbits, reptiles, and rodents all become my friends! I’m a big hiker/runner/outdoors-woman, and would love to take your doggo on hikes or long walks. Got an athletic pup who needs a good run during the day? I've got you! A small pup who just needs cuddles and company? I'm game! I can't wait to meet and care for your beloved fur friends. My schedule is very flexible. I’m frequently outside hiking and running, and would love bring your dog along, or I’m happy to hang in the backyard…or on the couch! I can care for your animals however they need to be tended to. I usually to keep a new animal friends within eyesight at all times, unless they are napping.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 10 years, providing consistent, attentive care for dogs of different sizes and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, administering oral medications, light grooming such as brushing, and, most importantly, giving plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, observant, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s extra exercise, gentle care, or simply companionship. 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 !

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.

Leaving my 21 month Boston with Kirsten and her family for 6 nights was my first experience of leaving my dog with anyone overnight. We have been together almost 24/7 since I got her as a puppy as I work remotely. We had a fantastic experience! At the meet and greet Kirsten made the effort to connect and relate to Lucy and invited us to experience where she would be living and playing. As well as introducing her to dogs she would be playing with. It all was very reassuring. Lucy clearly enjoyed Kirsten and her family. She was happy to be there, and it was the perfect place! I’m happy to know now that Lucy can stay at Kirsten’s to so I can feel free to travel through the future! Highly recommend!!

They even sent us daily updates and videos, took her for daily walks, played in the yard with her, and were very accommodating to us first-time “parents”; much more personal than a typical boarding situation. We will definitely be reaching out to Dennis and Lynn again if we need an overnight sitter. Thanks again!

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life! Growing up, I had dogs both big and small, as well as cats. Now I have a dog (June) and a cat (George) of my own. They are the loves of my life! I have experience with puppies and seniors, as well as administering medication to dogs and cats. I’ll treat your pet as if it were my own! I am currently in school, and it is self-paced, so my schedule is quite flexible! I can provide pet care basically any time, and adjust my school schedule accordingly. If I am caring for a pet in a client’s home, I will be sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, it is important that they are comfortable with cats and other dogs. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space to play!

About: My 3.5 y/o corgi, Kiko, would tell you I love all dogs, almost too much. For the last 13+ years, I’ve been fortunate enough to be responsible for at least 1, and most of the time 2 dogs of my own. While I have no formal training or certifications , I’m great with puppies still learning a routine, senior dogs who need a strict routine and everyone in between. I’m a very calm human so even nervous dogs are comfortable with me. I currently work from home, so I’m really good for dogs who require a little extra attention or struggle being left alone for long periods. I have a spacious two bedroom apartment with one flight of stairs and a nice balcony/patio for bird watching and sun bathing. When Kiko is here, we go on at least 3 walks a day, weather permitting, and make regular trips to various dog parks to see his friends throughout the week. When he’s not, we’ll still walk a lot but maybe fewer dog park visits unless that’s your dog’s thing too. If the cheapest sitter you can find is what you’re looking for, I’m not your person. However, under my watch, your dog will be safe, extremely well cared for, and loved like they are my own. Your dog will get the same care if I’m at your place and I share custody of Kiko, so his presence is not always guaranteed.

Alyssa jumped in while Dane was out of town and made Lobster’s stay feel like a mini vacation. Lobster came along with his buddy Ren and they were straight into dog park adventures, backyard playtime, and running around with Lady (their adora-pup) like old friends. Between hanging out with Alyssa and her two daughters and all the fun outside, the dogs were clearly living their best lives. The steady stream of happy photos made it obvious they were having a blast and being so well cared for. We live 35 mins away from Dane and Alyssa, and the distance didn't bother us because we know our pup will be in good hands. We will book again and again!
