“Really quite terrific: caring for our dog, showing care in managing details, having her kids participate in giving affection, good situation for our older dog re stairs, and lots of pictures along the way to provide assurance. We've already booked again.”
“Elizabeth clearly loves dogs! She handles several at a time even on nice walks with them. She was super flexible with our drop off and pick up times. I appreciated a meet and greet at a local dog park where my dog could meet hers and both of us assess if it would be a good fit.”
“Great experience using Lorelei to watch Coco for 5 days. She sent photos and videos of her playing with the other dogs. Upon arriving to pick Coco up, I could tell she had a good time because she was acting just like the other dogs. I would definitely use Lorelei again and recommend her to someone who needs a sitter”
“James was fabulous with our Ace. As a senior dog, he's a little bit of a slow mover but James made sure he was well cared for and we will definitely book him again when we travel.”
“Debra is attentive, patient, and so sweet with our senior dogs. We appreciate her timely communication and attention to the details and medication schedules. Highly recommend!”
“Alisha, Joshua, and family took wonderful care of our dog while our family was out of town for two weeks. We were nervous to leave her for so long but our nerves were immediately calmed when we met them and, further, received regular updates with sweet photos of our dog looking right at home with them. Alisha even went above and beyond and drove her home while we were navigating customs, long term parking shuttles, and the ferry home after a very long travel day coming from Southeast Asia. We had a happy, well cared for dog waiting for us when we arrived. Highly recommend this lovely family and will definitely reach out again for any future trips we need to take without our scruffy gal ❤️”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who friends and family regularly trust to care for their pets while they travel. I have two friendly golden retrievers who truly love other dogs and are gentle, playful, and well-socialized. I’m experienced with a wide range of personalities—from high-energy pups who need lots of playtime to senior dogs who prefer a calm, cozy environment. I treat every dog as if they were my own, paying close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and individual quirks. Your dog will enjoy plenty of love, supervised play, and a safe, comfortable home where they’re never just “watched,” but genuinely cared for. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and a calm, structured environment. I’m available for both short-notice needs and bookings well in advance as you plan your travels. My goal is to be your go-to sitter whenever you need reliable, loving care. I have a large fully fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized golden retrievers who enjoy playing in the backyard by a game of chase and/or fetch. I closely monitor playtime and all interactions, follow each dog’s routine, and can crate, separate, or provide quiet space if needed in order to keep all dogs in my care stress/free, comfortable and happy. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities. This isn’t just a place where you drop your dog for the day or for a trip. It’s a calm, loving environment where dogs feel safe and loved while you’re away. I choose thoughtful exercise and enrichment to keep them happy and give them plenty of opportunities to burn energy and excitement.
“This was Shadow's second stay with Jenn and he was so excited upon arrival I don't think he noticed when I left. I got plenty of pictures and updates and Shadow look like he's having a great time. I highly recommend Jenn.”
“My almost 8 month dog Nugget had a great time while Mommy & Daddy were at work... he got to interact with other humans & socialize with other dogs. Amanda has a huge backyard to help release all the doggy energy. Pic of Nugget playing with one of Amanda's dogs.”
“Peter took lots of pics and gave me lots of updates on how my dog was doing. It looks like she got lots of love and was happy in every pic. Plus he has super sweet dogs for your dog to play with. I would use Peter and his family as dog sitters again.”
“We had a great experience with Cara. She was very kind and attentive with him, sent us pictures and updates while we were away, and was also very understanding when we ended up running late to pick him up. What stood out most was how happy and comfortable Meeko was when we picked him up. He came home completely himself . He was relaxed, happy, and settled right back into his normal routine. That gave us a lot of confidence that he felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for during his stay. We really appreciated the care she gave Meeko and would definitely book with her again!”
“Scooby was treated like a king! Kayla’s kids always made sure he was nice and comfortable. Her husband took him on runs and he was made to feel like part of the family. We will definitely use Kayla again.”
“Charis (and family) did a great job with our two fur babies. We were very concerned leaving them behind for the first time but after visiting her we felt comfortable leaving them with her. She sent us pictures the day after we left and had them all cleaned up (I know they were a mess after being in this wet nasty weather) and ready to go with more updated pictures the day we picked them up. Thank you!”
“Our dogs had a great stay with Alexander and Sarah! We appreciated the photos and quick communication and felt great knowing our dogs had a good place to stay while we were away.”
“Sarah took great care of our high energy dog Fiona. I was very thankful for the responsive communication and frequent photos, as well as the flexibility in late pick up time when our flight was delayed.”
“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.”
“Nancy took wonderful care of our chiweenie Murphy. We got frequent videos and pictures and her dog was the perfect welcome wagon. I don’t think my dog wanted to leave!”

“Bailey was extremely attentive and sweet to our cat. She gave her undivided attention with pets and playing, would definitely use her services again! Thank you Bailey!!”
“Shelby was a fantastic sitter, and I really appreciated how sweet and responsible she was with my fur babies. She sent lots of pictures, which I always find reassuring, and she made sure my cats were well loved and cared for. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Karen was great! She was amazing with our cats...but the icing on the cake was how clean and organized things were when we got home. We rushed out of the house and weren't exactly tidy. Karen got us straightened out. Great care for the fur babies and great care for our home. Thank you so much!!!”
“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!”
“Cara was fantastic! She was really thorough in taking good care of my kitty girl and kept me updated with pictures the whole time I was gone. I really appreciated her and would recommend her!”
“Lisa took such great care of our cat while we were gone. When the weather got hot, she communicated clearly and effectively, put out extra fans, and took extra care to make sure it wasn't too hot in the house.b She also watered plants for us while we were gone. I would highly recommend Lisa!”
“Kimberly is the absolute best. I never have to worry when we’re out of town and our diabetic cat is in her care. She is knowledgeable and professional and a fast communicator. I don’t know what we’d do without her!!”
“Nicole was absolutely fantastic, and the first Rover experience I ever had. She was personable, professional, and clearly interested in the wellbeing of our cat, which put me at ease right away. She sent me photos each time she checked in on him, and texted on top of that to touch base. Will absolutely be using her services again in the future!”
“Jessica went above & beyond in caring for my fur babies. There was a thunder / lightning storm during one of her visits, and my Sophie is terrified of thunder (and fireworks!) Jessica spent extra care to comfort her, and even came back later in the day to make sure Sophie had been able to calm down. I'm extremely grateful for her care.”
“Mary checked on our two cats while we were out of town. She did great! We appreciated all her updates and pictures. We will definitely reach out to her again for future pet sitting needs!”
“Anna is the best sitter I could ask for. I trust her 100% to make sure my cat LeRoy is cared for when I’m out of town. She is responsive and keeps me up to date. This is the third time Anna has sat for LeRoy and it won’t be the last! I adore Anna!”
“I'm very happy that I found Hailey & Joshua. They took great care of my shy, rescue kitty, making her feel comfortable while I was away on a long vacation. They provided excellent communication every step of the way, exceeding all of my expectations. I would absolutely rebook them again.”
“Izzy is always amazing with our pets. She is easy going and communicative and always sends lots of pictures of her drop ins. She consistently spends over 30 minutes with our cats and is great! We’ve used her for about 8 months now for week long and weekend trips.”
About: I’ve been a happy cat mom most of my life, and have two of my own at home with me now :) I have experience giving medications, feeding them on special diets and specializing in playtime :)
“Amy was great with our kitties! We were so grateful she was willing to do a meet and greet beforehand. She was very communicative, organized, and kind to our cats! We will definitely keep her in mind for future drop ins!”

“Amanda was a great host for my pup! She was flexible to my schedule, good communication and handled my hyper puppy well tiring her out. Very thankful for her help! Will definitely book again.”
“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.”
“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.”
“It was my first time trying out a sitter for Wee and I was very nervous, but Steven and Rachel completely alleviated that worry with frequent updates, photos and genuine care for my pup. When I next need a sitter, Wee will definitely be staying with them. Thank you Steven and Rachel! :)”
“My dog always loves time with Zi & Orion. It's so relieving to drop her someplace she wants to be, which is rare when it means leaving me. And Zi was very generous & flexible with me.”
“Andrea and Bryce have been the kindest and most accommodating sitters. Their dog has been very sweet and friendly with my puppy and they were fast friends in no time! They took lots of photos and sent updates throughout the day which really eased my mind and confirmed my pup was in the best of hands. I’m new to the area, and even when they weren’t able to sit for my pup due to schedule conflicts, they recommended another trusted sitter and went above and beyond in helping me out. I feel so fortunate to have found a safe and loving family to take care of my puppy, and I can’t rec them enough!”
“Lauren had my dogs for the day while I went hiking and they couldn’t have been happier. They got tons of snuggles and some social time with other sweet dogs. I would most definitely use her again if we’re ever in the area!”
“Thanks to Kayla & family we had a great first time experience on Rover! Super responsive, accommodating, and let me bring Frankie for a visit to meet them the day before. Her kids loved on our dog and she sent pictures of Frankie snuggling😊”
“Reanna took wonderful care of my golden while we were having work done at our house. She patiently helped him recover from an upset tummy and provided ample cuddles and outdoor fun! I know he'd love to stay with her again!”
“We are so grateful to have found Felix! We asked him to help get our high-energy puppy used to in-home daycare, and he has gone above and beyond from day one. Before starting, Felix provided a detailed, thoughtful plan of how he intended to introduce Loki to his routine, which immediately put our minds at ease. After each session, he follows up with thorough feedback on how it went. He even takes the extra time to share practical tips and exercises we can practice at home to help Loki feel more comfortable in new environments. Loki is a work in progress, but Felix has been incredibly patient and genuinely willing to work with him to help him get the support he needs. We couldn't ask for a more attentive or dedicated dog sitter!”
“Devan was awesome! Great communication and a natural at connecting with dogs and keeping them engaged. Benji did not want to leave! We hope to see Devan again!”
“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.”
“Alana was absolutely delightful - so thoughtful, communicative, organized, and friendly. I really appreciated how she navigated Toph’s care (he can be very anxious and was having a tough day). Would recommend her without hesitation!”
“My puppy had a great time with Naiomi!!! Naiomi sent lots of pictures and updates. I could tell my pup was having a great time, and I felt comfortable leaving her with Naiomi. We will totally use her in the future.”
“Cathleen is a kind and compassionate animal lover! She’s great with my Buggs! They’re an adorable mess and she is charmed by them in the best of ways!”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was a teenager, and they've always held a special place in my life. I had my beloved dog, Chico, for 16 wonderful years before we eventually lost him to old age and health issues. Although he was small, he had a HUGE personality and was basically my sidekick. He went just about everywhere with me: dog parks, camping, hiking, beach adventures, road trips, and yes, probably more dog-friendly pubs than the average dog. 😂 At the beach, his absolute favorite activity was sniffing every single piece of driftwood like it contained critically important information. And after all those adventures, he was happiest snuggled up next to me under approximately 47 blankets. Caring for Chico through every stage of his life, from an energetic young pup all the way through his senior years, gave me firsthand experience with how much a dog's needs can change over time and how much love, patience, and companionship they deserve along the way. Over the years, I've also become the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone they trust with their dogs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pup's personality because, as any dog person knows, they ALL have one! After 16 years with Chico, our home definitely feels a little too quiet without a dog in it. Getting to welcome other people's pups into our lives and give them some of that love we've been missing is something my whole family really enjoys. So while you're away, there's a pretty good chance your dog will be getting spoiled with attention over here. 🐾 My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to spend with the pups in my care! My main daily routine is getting my kids to and from the bus stop, which is close enough that we can easily walk when needed. I'm home throughout most of the day, so pets in my care won't be spending long stretches of time alone. I have plenty of flexibility for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-ins, and I'm excited to fill some of that extra time caring for new furry friends! Your pet's safety and comfort will always come first! In my home, pups are welcomed into our everyday family life and treated like one of our own. We have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where they can safely get outside throughout the day. We currently don't have any pets of our own after losing our beloved dog, Chico, after 16 wonderful years together. We definitely miss having a pup around and love getting the chance to give our furry guests all that extra love and attention while they're here! I'll follow your dog's feeding, medication, potty, sleeping, and other care instructions as closely as possible. I also understand that some dogs settle in immediately while others need a little extra time and space to feel comfortable, and I'm happy to follow their lead. When caring for pets in your home, I'll treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care I'd want someone to show mine. I'll follow your instructions closely and always make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. And of course, expect photo updates! I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pup is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

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.
“Valarie did a great job walking our two dogs. When we had short notice that we needed coverage for our dogs while heading out of town, Valarie was quick to respond and set up a meet & greet. She agreed to take care of our girls and came as requested. She was communicative during each walk and sent great pictures. We hope she'll agree to more walks in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple kinds of dogs and cats for family and friends ever since I was a little kid, and owned both kitties and doggies of different breeds most of my life. I’ve read a few training books for doggies, stayed multiple nights for pet sitting, volunteered at pet shops, worked at pet stores, handled kittens and puppies with care, worked with senior cats and dogs, as well as other barn animals as well! I am currently working a part time job in silverdale, usually around 20 hours a week. I work mostly night shifts from 4:30pm to 9:30pm, unless it’s a Sunday. Then I’ll work 10am-3pm. My shifts are always 5 hours, I usually work on the weekends and a few times on the weekdays. I always receive my schedule 2 weeks in advance, so I just need time to plan around that! I have experience with crating dogs and giving them daily medicines if needed, or any unique care. If there is ever at all an emergency situation, I will call you immediately while also taking your dog to the vet.
“I highly recommend Clarissa! I used her for several months for bi-weekly walks with my dog while I was at work and she was the best! Super easy to communicate with, reliable and great with Murphy. He is going to miss seeing her face every week!”
“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!”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was younger, i am patient and familiar with stubborn pets and the lovable bulldozers. Just waiting for the right time to take car of my own. I am a reservist so one weekend a month I will be occipied. My work schedule is fairly flexible but please contact me so we can discuss scheduling expectations. I make sure the pet is in comfortable and secure areas of the house. I make sure to always have the leash on before opening doors for walks. If there's a yard I make sure the fences are in good condition and safe from obvious dangers.
About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life. I’m active duty Navy, my job is a working dog handler. I have basic CPR training for dogs as well as the knowledge and training to perform basic medical care for dogs. I promise to treat your dog with love, care and kindness. Pet care fits into my daily routine by me making your pets a priority, I will be with them during my available off time, you’ll get tons of photos and we do plenty of play time and walks. I’m beyond respectful of your home and your space, I have no problem cleaning up after your pets or even doing simple chores around the home. My space gets cleaned regularly, I value a clean home. I will protect your pets as if they were my own.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats alike since I was 16. I started by pet sitting overnight for my grandparents while they were on vacation and eventually started pet sitting for friends and family. I’ve handled walking, feeding, enrichment, and medication needs. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and dispositions and have no problem staying overnight as needed. I am self-employed and therefore have the flexibility in my schedule to care for your pets in the way they deserve, whether that be an overnight stay or regular walks and potty breaks. My cats sleep in my bed with me and get regular pets and cuddles. I provide enrichment as often as they seem interested. I care for clients’ pets like I would care for my own. If the pets are allowed to sleep on the bed or sit on the furniture with me, I love animal cuddles and am happy to share my space.
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 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: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have provided loving, committed homes to dogs of all temperaments as an adult — from an animal-aggressive Akita to the sweetest Golden Lab. I understand that every dog is different and deserves care that meets their unique needs. I’ve volunteered as a dog walker with the Kitsap Humane Society and have taken our most recent rescue through both beginner and advanced training classes. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, reading canine body language, and providing calm, consistent care. Friends regularly trust me with their pets while they’re away, and as a dog owner who has also used Rover myself, I truly understand how important communication, reliability, and trust are when someone is caring for your fur baby. When we’re not out enjoying nature together, I’m usually at home or the library with a good book — or planning our next travel adventure. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I currently hold a substitute position with the Kitsap Regional Library, which gives me an extremely flexible schedule and allows me to prioritize pet care needs. I don’t have dependents, have a reliable vehicle, and can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, or extended care. Any personal travel is planned well in advance, so availability is always communicated clearly. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both your space and your pet with the utmost respect. I’m tidy, mindful, and attentive to routines, instructions, and any specific care needs. I prioritize safety by following established guidelines, maintaining a calm environment, and paying close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort. Clear communication is important to me, and I’m always happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet and home are in good hands.
“Jessica is amazing! She's very friendly and approachable and super flexible with walk times...our Mickey always has a great time when they hang out. We loved the communication and will definitely use her again!”
“We used Zi for a few days to walk our German Shepherd puppy. She was prompt and gave a great report for our pup. Overall we are happy with the walks and our dog look like she enjoyed them as well.”
“Elizabeth has been great for walking our dog when we have long work days. She’s very communicative and shares adorable pictures. Our dog seems to really enjoy her walks with Elizabeth. Highly recommend!”
“Mary-Elizabeth has been an integral part of our pups' lives for almost a year and a half. She is dependable, extremely prompt with communication, and so great with Emma and Potato. They always get so excited when she comes for walks, and she is such a dog-whisperer that I'm pretty sure they're better with her than they are with us! They also really had fun staying over for a weekend getaway. :) We will always recommend Mary-Elizabeth for anyone in the Seattle area looking for a dog walker!”
About: I've been around animals all my life! From as small as a mouse to as big as a horse, I love spending my time with animals. I have experience with training dogs (not certified), and love going down animal behavioral rabbit holes (pun intended). My goal is to make sure your babies are taken care and safe while you are away! I am disabled and mostly work several gigs jobs so my time is very flexible! I am willing to work with clients on their needs. I want to respect your and your pet's space and will be very mindful of where they feel comfortable. If you have crate instructions, I am comfortable doing that as well.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life! I’ve grown up with cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even a pet rat! I love animals and want to spend time with them as much as possible! I believe animals are definitely humans best friend and should be treated accordingly! My experience over the years has taught me how to care for and respect an animal. I also have experience with giving oral medication and providing updates to owners about how their pets are doing while in my care. Pet care is something I’m passionate about because animals give me so much joy and unconditional love! Pet care fits into my open schedule to be able to enjoy taking care of others pets! Caring for someone’s animal is like having another one myself. I do like detailed information about the animal’s likes and dislikes. I also want to make sure that the animal is comfortable with me and that the owner feels good about leaving them in my capable hands!

“Elizabeth clearly loves dogs! She handles several at a time even on nice walks with them. She was super flexible with our drop off and pick up times. I appreciated a meet and greet at a local dog park where my dog could meet hers and both of us assess if it would be a good fit.”
“James was fabulous with our Ace. As a senior dog, he's a little bit of a slow mover but James made sure he was well cared for and we will definitely book him again when we travel.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who friends and family regularly trust to care for their pets while they travel. I have two friendly golden retrievers who truly love other dogs and are gentle, playful, and well-socialized. I’m experienced with a wide range of personalities—from high-energy pups who need lots of playtime to senior dogs who prefer a calm, cozy environment. I treat every dog as if they were my own, paying close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and individual quirks. Your dog will enjoy plenty of love, supervised play, and a safe, comfortable home where they’re never just “watched,” but genuinely cared for. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and a calm, structured environment. I’m available for both short-notice needs and bookings well in advance as you plan your travels. My goal is to be your go-to sitter whenever you need reliable, loving care. I have a large fully fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized golden retrievers who enjoy playing in the backyard by a game of chase and/or fetch. I closely monitor playtime and all interactions, follow each dog’s routine, and can crate, separate, or provide quiet space if needed in order to keep all dogs in my care stress/free, comfortable and happy. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities. This isn’t just a place where you drop your dog for the day or for a trip. It’s a calm, loving environment where dogs feel safe and loved while you’re away. I choose thoughtful exercise and enrichment to keep them happy and give them plenty of opportunities to burn energy and excitement.
“My almost 8 month dog Nugget had a great time while Mommy & Daddy were at work... he got to interact with other humans & socialize with other dogs. Amanda has a huge backyard to help release all the doggy energy. Pic of Nugget playing with one of Amanda's dogs.”
“We had a great experience with Cara. She was very kind and attentive with him, sent us pictures and updates while we were away, and was also very understanding when we ended up running late to pick him up. What stood out most was how happy and comfortable Meeko was when we picked him up. He came home completely himself . He was relaxed, happy, and settled right back into his normal routine. That gave us a lot of confidence that he felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for during his stay. We really appreciated the care she gave Meeko and would definitely book with her again!”
“Scooby was treated like a king! Kayla’s kids always made sure he was nice and comfortable. Her husband took him on runs and he was made to feel like part of the family. We will definitely use Kayla again.”
“Charis (and family) did a great job with our two fur babies. We were very concerned leaving them behind for the first time but after visiting her we felt comfortable leaving them with her. She sent us pictures the day after we left and had them all cleaned up (I know they were a mess after being in this wet nasty weather) and ready to go with more updated pictures the day we picked them up. Thank you!”
“Our dogs had a great stay with Alexander and Sarah! We appreciated the photos and quick communication and felt great knowing our dogs had a good place to stay while we were away.”
“Sarah took great care of our high energy dog Fiona. I was very thankful for the responsive communication and frequent photos, as well as the flexibility in late pick up time when our flight was delayed.”
“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.”
“Will definitely book again!! Kyah was very responsive and my 2 dogs loved the weekend they spent at her house. Followed my older dogs feeding instructions due to her diet and our puppy was well entertained! Definitely Recommend!?”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Celia and her family treated Roo like one of their own, and she came home happy and relaxed. We felt completely comfortable and will absolutely book with Celia again.”
“Elizabeth was amazing with our reactive dog Chicken. She is extremely kind, communicative, and reliable. Chicken is an Aussie and they can be selective with new people and she did great with Elizabeth and her family. She sent regular updates and photos which was super helpful. I can tell Chicken feels really comfortable and well taken care of when she’s at Elizabeth’s.”
“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. Walter loved all the attention from this family that he didn't even want to come home with us. He had a very fun staycation while we were away and would definitely book with them again in the future.”
“Seth was amazing with our dog. We have a very strong dog that has had some issues with reactivity and resource guarding. He has been through training, but isn’t perfect. Our dog really needs someone that will provide him with structure and hold firm boundaries. Seth did all that with so much care. I didn’t want my dog to impose too much on their family, so my expectations were just to give him walks and yard play time. Seth made sure he got walks, a ton of yard play, and indoor cuddles with his family. I highly recommend Seth! Thank you so much!!!!😊”
