“Coco had a great time with Julie and we came back to a happy dog. Well rested and played and well mannered.

Bonnie responds so well to his calm demeanor and thoughtful approach. Whether it's during her stay with him, walks, or just spending time together, James consistently demonstrates reliability and kindness. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate individual. His dedication and expertise truly set him apart, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found someone as exceptional as James.”
“Peter was great with our dog. He sent pictures each day and told us how everything was going. Our dog got along with his dogs. We will use him again when we need him to care for our dog.”
“Maria is amazing!! Our pup can be a little nervous in new environments and Maria went out of her way to make sure she was comfortable and getting lots of time outside!! We got tons of updates and photos and I felt so confident that my girl was being well taken care of! I will certainly use Maria’s services again!!”

“Rob, Ben and the rest of the family took such great care of our senior dog Walter. They sent lots of photos and updates, which we loved seeing, and also handled some eye medication that our pup is on.

He had a very fun staycation while we were away and would definitely book with them again in the future.”

Cat caregivers near you - Rollingbay
“Hannah did a wonderful job taking care of our cat. She came every day and made sure of food/water refreshed and kept litter box clean. Our cat is very shy but warmed up to Hannah. We felt our cat was very safe and well cared for. Hannah sent details each day and pictures. We definitely will book her again on our upcoming trips.”
“There are few people we'd trust our 3 cats with, and Lisa is definitely someone we can trust! She always goes the extra mile and we can tell our kitties are always well taken care of. Thank you so much, Lisa!!”
“Micaela is so caring, attentive, kind, and professional. She often stayed with my two cats for 40-50 minutes. I appreciate her so much and will be booking her again in the coming months. Thank you, Micaela!”
“Jodi rocks! Reliable, knowledgeable, local, respectful, and loves our animals like her own when we can't be home here on beautiful Bainbridge. We are so grateful to have found her (and her son!)”
“Dawn was exceptionally persistent when cat sitting my misbehaving Muffin. Spilled her treats on the floor then ate much more than usually allowed only to toss them up later for Dawn to clean up. 🙀 She also had to hide the feather fishing rod as kitty fetched it from top of bookcase and tore it up. Bad -kitty all around.”
“Ryland took EXCELLENT care of our two cats while we were out of town. He sent daily photos and updates and also helped to handle other things around the home while we were away. We will definitely recommend and rebook next time we are out of town!”
“Ryan is a reliable, good communicator and has a lovely calming presence around animals that was perfect for our shy kitties. She is a seasoned pet sitter in high demand, and we’re grateful she fit us into her busy schedule!”
“We needed a sitter for our senior kitty but were hesitant to leave her with anyone she didn’t know, since she’d always been looked after by family and a close friend. This was our first experience with Rover, and we decided to try Chris after reading the great reviews he got. He took care of our girl over a long weekend while we were out of town, and we were completely reassured by the level of care and attention he gave her. He sent us updates and photos, letting us know how she was doing and how she was behaving, and was very attentive to her needs. He has cats himself, clearly loves them and was such a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Chris.”
“Jacob was an outstanding pet sitter for our two cats while we were gone for a week. He made sure to check in with us every day and was extremely communicative about any changes or updates, and even put up with my over the top helicopter pet mom instructions :) Huge thanks, Jacob!”
About: With over 15 years of active pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of caring for animals, I bring compassion, playful attentiveness, and calm confidence to every home I visit. In 2024, I spent four months road-tripping across the U.S., housesitting along the way and caring for 7 cats and 14 dogs in 10 households—ranging widely in breed, age, temperament, and needs. This experience left me especially comfortable quickly building trusting relationships with new animals and adapting to their individual personalities. I have extensive experience with medically complex pets, including administering pills and liquid medications, giving injections, and providing wound care. I understand the importance of consistent routines, detailed observation, and gentle handling when working with animals who require special attention. Whether caring for playful puppies, senior cats, or anything in between, I offer dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I work four days a week, Thurs-Sun in the afternoon and evening. On work days, I am available in the morning and late-evening. Mon-Wed I have full availability for all types of care. I prioritize safety and active stimulation for my own pets and those I care for. In addition to maintaining feeding schedules and security, I make sure those animals in my care receive exercise and mental stimulation, depending on their needs.
“Jennifer went above and beyond for our two cats while we were away on vacation for a week. Our flight home was delayed by 4 hours and she made sure they were taken care of. We arrived to a clean apartment and healthy kitties. We highly recommend Jennifer!”
“Mel and Kelly always go above and beyond. Not only are our cats well fed and happy when we get home, their boxes are clean, our packages have been thoughtfully set aside indoors for us, and we get gorgeous glamour shots of our cats during our trip! We book them before we get plane tickets for every trip we take. They’re the best!”
“Jessica did an amazing job caring for our two cats (who are very high maintenance) and watching our home while we were away for a week. Our house was even cleaner than we had left it and our cats were very content and not fussy like they usually are when we get home from a trip. Thanks! We will be booking with you again!”
About: I am a genuine happy pet loving guy. With at least ten years caring for my own pets (2 cats, 3 dogs). I have my own transportation and have been first aid certified so I know what to look for at the first signs of any trouble with pets. My days and weekends are perfect time for walking and caring for dogs and cat sitting. I work part time at night as a caregiver, but I can plan house sitting around my other work. I like pets and can’t wait to meet yours. I have a big home and am open to one or two animals a week, but no double booking and no outside cats. However, in a client’s home they set the rules and I respect their space.
“This was our first Rover caregiving experience for my senior, shy cat Coal, who has medical needs, since moving out of our tiny apartment (where Coal had few places to hide). Elizabeth successfully discovered his new hiding places, encouraged him out, and gave him his medication on schedule. She also followed all other feeding/treating instructions. It couldn’t have been easy job, given his reluctance to strangers, and she completed it and sent some hilarious photos of Coal in hiding.”
“Maya did a wonderful job, I could tell that Muffin is still a little shy around strangers. Got a new pic every day so could see she was ok even though still hiding under furniture. She’s an older kitty but has only been with me a few months so was unsure how she would do. Maya put us both at ease.”
“Chelsea took great care of my english bulldog for 3 days and she went above and beyond to make sure she was doing well. I would definitely reach out again if she is available in the future!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Rollingbay
“We recently met Cathleen while out walking our two pups, as she was walking a pack of dogs. We were so impressed with how well-behaved her pack was that we got her information. We have since used Cathleen's pet boarding (one week), daycare, and training services, and have been very satisfied. Our dogs have come home happy and more settled after time with her, and her training is calm and effective.”
“Karl was a great host for our 6 month old puppy who needed lots of interaction with people. He worked with our schedule and made sure Albie felt at home from the moment he was dropped off to pick up. The whole family interacted with Albie, giving a balanced amount of play vs rest so I picked up a happy calm puppy.”

“You can tell SJ really loves the animals and it shows - they love her back, and my shy dog made quick friends. It was clear my dog felt comfortable and had a good day with lots of snuggles and walks. She’s tuckered out. I’m already looking forward to having SJ care for my pup again! ❤️”
“Thanks to Cara we had a wonderful first-time experience on Rover. Yoshi did his first Rover doggy day care and he had a blast. Cara took great care of him and her little girls took to Yoshi. He came home and promptly passed out. Expecting a lot more play dates in the near future. It's awesome to find another Corgi Mom. Thank you, Cara, for welcoming Yoshi into your home. We loved the photos you sent to us throughout the day and hope to add more memories.”

“Brianna was great, ready for our arrival and Mila took to her just fine. I put a lot of stock into how my Pup greets someone, and it was very comfortable. I appreciate that the house was close to where I needed to be and the calendar was open. Thank you for taking care of my girl”
“Kristina is so kind and I just know my pup will have a blast each time she goes over. Very attentive and sends updates in the day which is nice. I definitely trust and recommend Kristina for future dog care”
“Brooke was great! While our dog only stayed with her for a couple hours, I received pictures of our pup and her son playing together. She was kind, attentive, and flexible! If we're back in the area and need someone to watch our pup, we will absolutely reach out to Brooke again. She also had a great place with a fenced in deck!”
About: 25+ years caring for dogs of every breed and size, plus extensive experience with cats. I’ve helped deliver litters, given medications, and maintained spotless litter boxes. Cats trust me deeply — they often bring their kittens to my bed. I always take time to learn your pet’s routine, needs, and personality beforehand. I walk my own dogs three times daily and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to provide consistent, loving care tailored to each animal. My schedule is very flexible for pet sitting. I drop my daughter off at school by 8:30–9:00 AM and pick her up at 3:25 PM. The rest of the day I work online only 2–3 hours, so I’m happily available for morning, midday, and afternoon dog walks, drop-ins, or house sitting.

About: Hi! My name is Maya. I grew up on the island, and have been doing full time pet care here for the past few years alongside my husband. I have ample experience with high needs, behavioral, and medically fragile animals, and will go above and beyond to make sure your pets have the care that they deserve. My husband and I do full time animal care so I have a fair amount of flexibility in my day. I am able to do last minute, early mornings and late nights on request. I have one friendly dog, but unless you request a playmate for your dog, or we discuss beforehand, he will stay home. I am very good with instructions/taking notes if you don’t leave set instructions. I will respect your wishes and always be communicative if an issue arises. I believe you know your pet best and I will respect your wishes down to the T whether that be in regards to their walks, their feeding, their home treatment or anything else. I’m here for your pet and your peace or mind!
“Sofia has been wonderful with my shy guy dog with separation anxiety. Her adorable dog, Dona, has such great calming energy and seems to be a great friend and mentor for my dog. Sofia is great with updates and communication, and is a natural dog person. I’m so grateful to have found her!”
“Needed a sitter for an afternoon for my curmudgeonly senior pup. Devan was fantastic- warm, welcoming, responsive, and responsible. Fang had a good time, and we will definitely request Devan’s pup-sitting services again!”
“I've recently relocated to Seattle for work, and while waiting for my residence to become available, I needed assistance with watching my dog, Fat Boi, during business hours. I connected with Keith, and he's been such a great help! Fat Boi is shy and very attached to me, he's prone to getting a little depressed when we aren't together, but Keith helps to enrich his days and gives him some extra socialization. Fat Boi gets to people watch out from the balcony, and go on walks to see the water, and enjoys some great snacks while hanging out with Keith! I'm grateful that he's been there to look after Fat Boi and give him attention while I'm at work. I'm a long way from home, and so is Fat Boi, and it's one less source of stress in this huge transition to have the peace of mind that my little fuzzy guy is being thoughtfully taken care of until we are reunited at the end of the day.”
“Felix was lovely to work with and took great care of our dog Reign! We received regular updates, photos, and videos and felt comfortable with Reign’s introduction and play time with Felix’s dog, Mabel. We definitely hope to work with Felix again in the future and would highly recommend his care!”
“Thank you so much Rachel! She was so attentive, flexible, and understanding of my dog. I felt like he was in good hands all day and I would happily book with her again whenever I need to.”
“Pablo and Patricia were amazing! They were able to watch Bear on very short notice, were super kind and communicative, and took great care of him. I really appreciate them helping out last minute. Thank you both!”
“Such great pics and communication. We really appreciated being able to drop our pup off early and for the park meet up ahead of time. Thank you so much!!!”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats throughout my lifetime. I am a pet-assisted therapy researcher and truly believe in the mind and body benefits of caring for animals. The human - animal bond is very real and knowing my dog is being cared for by a responsible and caring individual while I am away is so important. Hence, I provide the same excellent care I expect of someone caring for Soley. I am a semi-retired university professor and I walk my dog every day on average 5 miles. I provide clean and caring pet services for family and friends. I have excellent references. I am a neat conscious and very clean person. I believe in providing my pets the same standard of cleanliness as I do myself and other guests. I am mindful of dogs interacting with other dogs and people when walking them. They are always on a leash.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, geese, ducks, and goats over the years. I love all animals and enjoy being around them, watching them and feeding them. I'm currently retired so I have time to spend looking after your pets. I have one dog of my own. A shitzu terrier mix called Penny. I do not have a fenced yard so I walk my own Shitzu Terrier mix on a leash multiple times a day. I have a calm, quiet home and spend time gently getting to know your pets in your home.

About: I have been a pet lover my whole 44 years. I have owned cats and dogs of many breeds, ranging from kitten care to senior pooches needing med regimens. Currently loving on a chinchilla at home, I am delighted to care for pets of all shapes and sizes. This is currently my only gig, so I have all the time to spend with your loved ones. Always happy to discuss complicated pet needs. Care in a client home is at each client’s discretion. You tell me what your love needs and I’ll get it done. You can trust me to communicate important issues and just take care of the small stuff.
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: Hi! I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been part of my everyday world. From a young age, my life has revolved around animals and helping them become the best versions of themselves. Some of my earliest experiences were with cats, including a feral rescue named Misty I bonded with closely as a child. I tend to connect well with animals that are more troubled, reactive, or unsure, and I’m often able to bring out their calmer, more trusting side. Later on in my life, my experience expanded significantly through raising and caring for Golden Retrievers. Growing up around breeding and long-term dog care taught me responsibility, consistency, and how much attention animals need at different stages of life. I’ve been involved in raising dogs from newborns to adulthood, and many of the dogs I’ve helped raise have gone on to become unforgettable adventure companions for their families. Over the past fifteen years, I’ve gained extensive experience working with animals through long-term, hands-on care. My background as a Golden Retriever breeder has given me perspective on how different animals can be, even within the same breed. Every animal has unique preferences, behaviors, and ways of communicating, and learning to recognize those differences has been a major part of my experience. I’m comfortable managing multiple animals at once and handling a range of needs without becoming overwhelmed. I’m most accustomed to larger dogs, but my experience raising puppies has given me the delicacy and awareness needed to care for smaller animals as well. I’m especially familiar with puppies under six months old, including their unpredictable behavior and the extra attention they require. I’ve also worked with dogs that can be semi-reactive in certain situations. While I’m not willing to take on dogs that are broadly aggressive, I retain the right to assess the dog before accepting. I’m most comfortable with working with dogs that are borderline reactive but not reactive-aggressive. I can recognize signs of stress or reactivity, and can manage dogs that are generally well-functioning but may need thoughtful handling in specific situations. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-ins and walks throughout the day, generally between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm, unless I’m staying at a client’s home for house sitting. Animal care already shapes my daily routine, and I’m used to structuring my day around feeding schedules, exercise, outdoor exposure, and rest. I’m comfortable juggling different routines and planning time and resources around an animal’s specific needs. I’m very conscientious about safety and environmental risks. I pay close attention to doors, gates, toxic plants, household hazards, interactions with unfamiliar animals, and changes in an animal’s behavior. I rely on observation and experience to distinguish between normal behavior and something that may need attention. If something seems off, I communicate clearly and directly, providing context and details without being alarmist. I also enjoy sharing updates and photos so owners feel informed and connected while they’re away. I have experience filming and taking photos of animals especially dogs and cats that don’t sit still - so you’re bound to get a good photo or two of them.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and love animals. I'm the "go to" dog sitter and walker for many of my friends and now seem to be a very popular "dog aunt." I am a local photographer and yoga teacher and wellness worker. I enjoy getting out for walks and having canine company while exploring. I have flexibility in my schedule most days for walks and play time. There is nothing better than seeing a repeat client and watching them do the 4 legged dance when I arrive. I have flexibility in my schedule most days. I teach a couple of yoga classes on the island and work at a few local businesses 2-3 times a week. My hours of work and away from home can vary from 3-5 hours at a time. Other work is done remotely from any location. I give lots of love and care to pets I spend time with and am very aware and present to safety and needs at all times. As a yogi and wellness provider, I have a calm demeanor that animals can sense and am skilled at calming nerves and being patient with pets who take some time to warm up.
“Mel was amazing and patient. Got the dog great exercise and the pup came home happy! She’s very communicative and attentive to the individual dog’s comforts, needs, and preferences.”
“Lisa continues to be a great caregiver for our dog! We have used her services on several occasions and will continue to for the future. She has great communication and you can tell she really cares!”
“Eli did a fantastic job with my dog, Spot! Eli showed up on time, paid close attention to details about caring for Spot, appeared genuinely interested in Spot’s personality and needs, was kind and caring while demonstrating an ability to manage Spot with safety in mind. I will definitely rebook with Eli!”
“Wow, Maya took such great care of our dog. She was really invested in making sure our dog enjoyed her walks, and our terrier is not easy to please! Maya will definitely be our first choice in the future. Thank you Maya!”
About: I have been house/pet sitting for a few years now. But aside from that I have a dog and cat of my own! I love hanging out with animals and giving them love and affection. I have loved animals since I was little and have helped take care of my pets since elementary school! I would love to show your animals some love while your away, letting them know they are safe! I am currently unemployed and have a bunch of free time to engage with your animals! I want to include taking care of loving animals into my weekly and/or daily routine! I will walk your dog, play fetch, snuggle and give lots of tummy rubs! I know that your pet will be most comfortable in their safe, familiar environment and want to make sure that your pet is happy!
About: When neighbors or friends need a dog sitter, I always raise my hand! I love long walks, playing fetch and canine cuddles. I have experience with all ages (young pup to senior). I am taking time to figure out my next professional chapter. While I do that, I have lots of time to put energy into something I love: being with animals. I'm well-versed in using multiple-dog-lead leashes, spending quality time with pets, and being bad cop when a fur baby tries to get an extra feeding.
“Alisha took so much care in walking our dog. She made sure she was safe and enjoyed her walks very much. We would definitely love to have her walk our dog again.”
About: I have been around animals since childhood when I helped my family raise and take care of our chickens, two calico cats, turtle, rabbit, and parakeets. But I always wanted a puppy... Fast forward to adulthood, I helped my sister raise her mixed-breed puppy and shortly after moving away I got one of my own, a German Shepherd. I have raised and trained her since 10 weeks old and am well versed in any activities that your dog needs to stay stimulated, from training to walking to playing games and fetch. I work from home so I can be fairly flexible with scheduling but would appreciate a day or two of lead time if possible. Thanks! I am comfortable getting your dog in and out of their crate as well as in and out of the house, or in and out of the car (if requested/needed).
About: I will often take the extra step with animals to make sure that the anxiety or sadness they may feel is settled when their owner is away. I also have experience with senior animals, and kittens/puppies! I am completely free most of the time! I’m a student at the University of Oregon, because of this I have a flexible schedule in the summer time. I am staying on Island until October when I return to school. I would love to meet some special critters before I leave the rock! I care for pets the way the owners see fit. I will follow instructions, and ensure that the time the critters are with me will not be different from their daily routine.
About: I’ve took care of my neighbor’s elderly dog while I was in highschool. I would walk him regularly and keep him company for weekends while his mom was away. Additionally, I am a cat owner of 11 years. I am free every day of the week to do the early morning dog walks you might not have the time for during busy mornings. In both my home and my clients’ homes, I treat pets with the utmost love and care, prioritizing their comfort and well-being. I am particularly attentive to following any instructions provided by the owner, ensuring that each pet’s unique needs and routines are respected, even if they differ from my own methods. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for.

I have 2 large outdoor living spaces (deck and covered front porch) that are baby gated. Even when they’re inside, they will have the perks of being outside! Dogs are welcome to lounge on the decks benefiting from the sounds and smells of the forest. Large and laundered memory foam dog beds provided on the deck. Multiple water bowl stations throughout the house. Depending on your preference, I can take your loved one outside on a leash during the day for potty breaks and then take them to Strawberry Hill dog park for play-time / hiking trails OR if you trust your dogs command responsiveness, we can go and play outside off leash. House set 100-150’ off the road. Dogs never let outside unsupervised.
“Steven and Rachel took great care of Daisy! They sent us plenty of updates and responded quickly to any questions. Daisy had a blast playing with their Daisy and they took care of her additional health requests. We’ll definitely ask them to watch her again the next time we go on a trip :)”
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.
“He was so kind and took wonderful care of my dog! Made sure everything was talked through before I left him overnight, I had no doubt my dog was going to be taken good care of.”
“I am living for a few months near Poulsbo and needed to find a dog sitter in the area. I connected with Brianna and we visited briefly before my trip. I immediately felt comfortable with her. She took great care of Romeo, sent me photos and updates and was easy to communicate with. My dog is small and he got along with their much larger dog. I highly recommend Brianna as a caring dog sitter.”
“Ana was super friendly and easy to communicate with. From all the pictures she sent,’it looks like my dog Oscar had a great time. Thank you so much! I’ll definitely be back”
“Sheena took great care of my dog, Uno. She handled introductions between Uno and her own dog really well. She updated me with photos, and Uno looked like he was having a great time. It was clear he was in good hands and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Sheena to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter.”
“This was our second time having Casie care for our pups. She remembered details from their first visit to keep them comfortable while in her care. She's a great communicator and, most importantly, our pups are excited to see her.”
“Joni took great care of our puppy during his first time away from us! She sent pictures and was communicative and he came home happy. Will definitely look to book her again for him.”
“Jill was so great with my pup. It was the first time I had left my pup in quite some time so I was a little nervous how she would do, but I could tell she was completely comfortable and at ease with Jill. Thank you again!”
