“Lorelei is such a great host! I have boarded my puppy with her about 5 or 7 times over the course of December 2015 and January 2016 and I can only say great things about her. Her apt is very welcoming to dogs as she always has fellow playmates around and has a patio area where they can eliminate. One time, my puppy jumped off the furniture wrong and had hurt himself. She called me immediately and also did the courtesy of contacting DogVacay’s own vet for advice. My experience of Lorelei is that she is very attentive to the dogs and cares for them as if they are her own. As a bonus, Lorelei also wrote me thank you cards! I have booked with someone else when she wasn’t available and now I have learned that if you’re going to book on DogVacay, choose Lorelei!”
“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.”
“Matthew was great! This was my first time leaving my Aussie with anyone. It was a two day trial run to see how he reacted being away from me and home for any length of time. He did great! Matthew was very thorough in gathering as much information about my dog, likes, dislikes, daily schedule, etc. Matthew’s home was very clean and roomy. Matthew sent me updates and pictures throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend Matthew to others.”
“Elizabeth was awesome with our dog Oscar. The dog loved her house and yard very much..... I'd strongly recommend her to anyone whose dog likes to play with other dogs and enjoys the outdoors! Thanks Elizabeth for giving Oscar such a great time while we were on vacation.”
“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.”
“Tanya was awesome!! So sweet and accommodating and a great all-around person. She sent lots of pictures and I could tell Zoey had a blast. Already have my next stay booked. Thank you!”
“Alexa was a fantastic care taker to my two border collies. I got frequent pictures and videos and it was clear my dogs settled in early! They were right at home. Alexa was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and I would absolutely use her again in the future. Your pets would be lucky to stay with her!”
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.
“Kyah went above and beyond for my dog, Anya. The daily updates and funny videos really made me feel like my dog was in a great home and was being given lots of attention and affection. I look forward to booking with Kyah again and I know Anya will be so happy to go back as well!”
“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!”
“This was Bruce's second time with the girls and he LOVED it! He's currently pouting now that he's home. They sent me photos and videos that melted my heart! It was very obvious he felt at home, and for a old man that's really important. I'm moving a few hours away at the end of the month, but I'll absolutely be saving their information for future travel plans flying out of SeaTac. One thousand percent recommended these ladies! 💛💙”
“James is a natural with dogs and made sure both our dogs were well cared for, walked, and comfortable while we were away. We have enjoyed meeting James, and hope to use his services again in the future for our boys, Bear & Arrow!”
“Awesome pet sitter, treated our pup like his own. Great communication and very inviting. Our pup didn’t want to leave. Definitely top tier pet sitter he’s worth the money!”
“Renton and Jordan took exceptional care of Bagheera and Baloo. From the moment we left, it was clear how attentive and loving they were—making sure both dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. They sent tons of pictures and updates every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind and honestly made us smile constantly. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters and would trust them again without hesitation.”
“Corrine has a great place for the dogs. She was considerate of the old boy. He is deaf but she rolled with it just fine. She sent pictures or video every day. I got back early and picked up a happy dog.”
“Jenny is excellent as always. We were gone for an extended trip to the Philippines, and she provided regular updates and cute pictures of Bouncer while we were away. I also asked if she would be able to give Bouncer a bath since we were gone for a while. Jenny kindly agreed. I gave Jenny additional compensation for this. I could tell that she went above and beyond for my dog. I'll be asking Jenny again for help with Bouncer in the future!”
“SJ is such a blessing! She helped my out in a pinch by watching my two 8 month old kittens in her home while fire alarm testing was going on in my building. She is so kind and took extra care to communicate with me how the little ones are doing and being overall such a pleasure. I’m glad I found her and can only highly recommend her, your pets will be in the best care you can wish for! Thank you SJ”
“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.”

“Couldn’t have been happier with Jessica’s care. This is the first time we’ve used Rover, and we absolutely will again. Our nervous cat took to her immediately! I had come to terms with the likely event that she would hide under the bed all three visits, but I received pictures of our cat snuggling up to Jessica the very first day. Such a relief to know our cat was safe and well cared for. Cannot recommend Jessica enough!!”
“Our cats (and us) love Lisa!!! She's so reliable and takes care of our kitties like they're her own. And we love the notes and photos she sends after each visit. Thank you, Lisa!!!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, and am currently a dog mom to my wonderful fur baby. Throughout the years I have been entrusted to go to peoples houses and care for their dogs, take care of dogs in my own home, and have even been entrusted to care for newborn puppies until they were old enough to go to their homes. I have a special place in my heart for dogs, and I absolutely love any opportunity to meet all kinds of new furry friends and personalities!
“Bailey was excellent! I tend to leave very specific instructions, and Bailey followed them to a tee! My feeders have a light that indicates that they’re working properly and I said “bonus points if the rover pic has the lights on” and every single rover card had a picture with the lights on!! Really allows me to feel like my cats are in good hands when I leave. Also this was a very last-minute trip and Bailey was fast to respond, and available for key pick up before I left. 5/5 for sure!”
“When my previous cat sitter told me she was moving to a different state, I was so upset. I thought I would never get a cat sitter as good as her… I am overjoyed to say I was very wrong. Nicole is amazing! My cat fell for her instantly. She took such attentive care of my fluffy guy. Nicole went above and beyond, and communicated to me through words and pictures throughout the time we were away. I felt confident with her watching out for him, that he was going to be well cares for. Kaisa”
“Shelby continues to provide exceptional care even with the addition of two new kittens. To complete all the tasks involved with caring for the kittens and our older cat, she was very efficient while giving them all equal attention. All of them seemed very happy looking at their daily report cards. We'll continue to use Shelby in the future.”
“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.”
“Went above and beyond! So very thankful for Lisa’s help with my animals. I had a cat and rabbit and she took excellent care of both, even cleaned their cage areas and gave them lots of love and pictures!”
“Deanna is fantastic! We were initially nervous about leaving our cat but Deanna took great care of him. We loved receiving the text updates and photos from her each day - he looked like he was having a lot of fun which was very reassuring. We would definitely book Deanna again.”
“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!”
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 :)
“Luna was so awesome and went above and beyond. She was really great at keeping me updated with lots of pictures. She also did a great job making sure my kitten was super well entertained and cared for. Her communication was awesome and super fast. Everything was very organized and she was incredibly respectful of my home. Can’t recommend her enough!!!”
About: I have a flexible schedule that can work around your needs. I have experience with several different dog breeds and have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I have a very flexible schedule and I can shape my schedule around the needs of you and your dog and give them the time and attention they need. I have a fenced in yard where they will be free to roam, along with abundant room inside where they will receive lots of care and attention. Will support crate or free sleepers depending on your preference and the dogs needs.
“Natasha does an exceptional job caring for my dog, Sloan! She goes above and beyond during every drop-in visit, incorporating puppy training seamlessly into their play and care time. I’m always impressed by how well she adjusts to Sloan’s needs each day—whether that means extra exercise, mental stimulation, or just some calm companionship. Natasha literally speaks dog—I’m convinced she’s a true dog whisperer. Her understanding of canine behavior and her gentle, confident approach make all the difference. As a nurse with a busy and unpredictable schedule, it gives me such peace of mind knowing Sloan is in her capable and loving hands. I couldn’t recommend Natasha more highly!”
“Princess help me out tremendously for my 30 day trip abroad. Did two weekly visits and followed the -admittedly- overly specific instructions required for all of my cats including their food, litter-robot, and more. Made my trip so much less stressful!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Scandia
“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!”
“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”

“Kyah was a great help with my pup Tikka for doggy daycare. Kyah was very caring, calming and accommodating to my puppy as she needed some extra comfort from a recent spay surgery. I really appreciated the great communication and updates throughout the day. A relief knowing your pup is being cared for. Will definitely book again!”
“Wow! Cathleen is SO good! Mooch had a very successful first doggie day care and we will have him back. Cathleen is calm, loving and responsible. She is also very in tune with Mooch and his surroundings which contributed to his successful time away. Mooch is a Covid puppy with separation anxiety but you couldn’t tell with his time at Cathleen’s. She is a pro and a great choice ❤️”
“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.”
“We had a great experience with Trenton & Jordan. They were awesome about checking in regularly and sent plenty of picture updates. Kona made a new little puppy friend and had the best time running around their beautiful property. It’s clear he was well cared for and had a blast- highly recommend!”
“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”
“Emily has the setup when it comes to caring for dogs. Our pup, Bowie, was picked up both days happy as can be. Emily updated us throughout the day with pictures and engaged with Bowie with some of his favorite games, tug and Frisbee. He even made other dog friends! What more can you ask for. I'm handsdown booking with Emily/ Pacific Paws again ☺️”
“Christina was terrific! Our dog spent 1 night in her care and everything went flawlessly. We received frequent updates and pictures. Drop off and pick up was a breeze; and she even gave us a framed picture of our dog, very kind!”
“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.”
About: We both grew up with dogs and have fostered 4 times. We currently own a 3 year old rescue pup. We’ve cared for the smallest of dog breeds (Havanese and Boston Terrier) to the largest of breeds (Labs/retrievers, German shepherds, Belgian malinois, pit bulls, etc) so we’re comfortable with all dogs! I work from home, so I’m available all day every day to play and take care of your pups! We’re open to boarding every day of the week. We do have a 3 year old Lab/Border Collie mix, so your dog must be good with other dogs. I will treat your dogs just like my own! We do live in an apartment, but I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks and playtime. I have a friendly dog that would love to keep your pup company :) I’m also comfortable crating dogs if that’s something you need!
About: I’ve raised dogs my whole life — Shelties, German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, Boxers, and now a Great Dane. From puppies to seniors, I’ve had the privilege of caring for them all. I can continue or begin house training, crate training, and basic commands with a gentle, positive reinforcement style. My husband, Bryce, and I work together as a team to care for your pets. We both have years of experience with dogs of all breeds and personalities, and we make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and part of the family. Living with a Great Dane has taught us how to handle giant breeds with confidence, while also being just as comfortable with the tiniest pups. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or reinforcing training, you can count on both of us to give your pets the attention they deserve. We know how important it is for dogs to have interaction and not feel alone. That’s why we only offer pet care knowing that one of us will always be home. Andrea is home all day Friday through Sunday, and Bryce works remotely from home Monday through Friday. Together, that means your pets get consistent love, attention, and companionship every day of the week. We have a large, fully fenced yard that is perfect for lots of running and play time. Our sweet Great Dane, Mercedes, and two children will shower your pet with love and attention!
“This was our first time booking a sitter/boarder for Lola and we had a great experience with Robin. I was fortunate to be able to book with her on fairly short notice for a weekday. We went from a daycare visit to an overnight stay seamlessly. She accepted my unspayed dog, which was also very fortunate. Lola had a fenced in yard, gracious family with kid(s), a clean home, and animals to keep her company during her stay. Overall, I found her responsive, easygoing and very accommodating. I'd feel safe bringing Lola to her again in the future. :)”
“Amazing sitter. Could not have asked for a more professional and dedicated person who genuinely cares for dogs and went above and beyond what we have seen in sitter. Highly recommend as a sitter and will keep her in mind for next time.”
“Very thankful for the great care from Steven and Rachel! My puppy needed some extra attention after a recent surgery and they were so patient, accommodating and caring to my pup. Good communication and were flexible to my pups needs. Will book again!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, and am currently a dog mom to my wonderful fur baby.

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’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 10-15 hours a week. I always receive my schedule at least a week in advance, so I just need time to plan around that. Otherwise, I’m a fairly open schedule! 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.
About: I'm reliable and have cared for a wide variety of dog sizes and ages. I have cared for senior dogs and other dogs with special care requirements. I'm available to take care of any pets any day of the week at your house. My two dogs are not guaranteed to get along with yours and they are both adverse to new people so I cannot host any pets. I can do overnights at your house as my pets have other carers in the house. I greet your dog when I see them, let them outside if that's an option or go for a walk immediately. I will feed them, refill their water bowl and play with them. We will go on a walk if not already done. I make sure they have enough water and pets before I leave.
“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!”
“Lisa saved us and Oakley because I had to be gone much longer than planned. She knows the drill with Oakley and he seems to feel very comfortable with her. She's a keeper for sure!”
“I used Ashley for several months for weekly dog walks with my dog Murphy and she was wonderful! Very easy to communicate with, flexible and very reliable! She took great care of Murphy and he looked forward to seeing her every week! I highly recommend Ashley!”
“Allison has been an excellent dog walker for me and Rhuby. She has been walking Rhuby for about a month and has never missed a day. She is very communicative and has been available whenever I've needed her.”
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.
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 5 years, to include handicapped, young, and senior dogs. I also have 3 years of experience with caring for cats. I live in a single person apartment with access to a dog park and walking trails. I am home everyday of the week and work full time through Rover. I will be able to care for your pet the entire day and can take them out as needed. I live in a safe and quiet neighborhood that is very walkable. I am a 2 minute walk from a dog park which I can take your pet to daily.
“Mary Elizabeth instantly made and my pups feel at ease. She’s very personable and has great experience with pups of all kinds. Even ones with quirky behaviors like mine!”
About: I have been caring for my own animals for 15 years and have been doing so professionally for 6 years. I have experience with a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, fish, and birds. I am currently on summer break from my job as a teacher, so I have plenty of availability to care for pets throughout the work week. I put my client and their pets' needs first. Their comfort and safety are of upmost importance to me. I follow all directions given to ensure that all animals are cared for properly.
About: I love dogs! I'm happy to reinforce any training as needed. I also love to take dogs on local adventures and walks in the surrounding areas. I'm currently a grad student and will be needing to make some extra money starting next month. I will be on a semi flexible schedule allowing for pet sitting and house sitting. I'm trustworthy and will follow through on any needs expressed. I appreciate clear and direct communication. If a specific request is unclear, I will ask.
About: Responsible dog lover with experience caring for rescue dogs and elderly dogs! Need help with your fur-baby? I love dogs and have experiencing walking dogs, fostering shelter dogs, and house sitting. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and ages and will reinforce any behavior training you and your dog are working on. I’m organized, caring and very responsible. Looking forward to hearing from you! I am a travel PT with a love for animals but move around too much for work to have my own pets t the moment. I work outside of the home so I can accommodate morning and evening walks/potty breaks and evening cuddles! I prefer to care for your pets in your own home (house sitting and drop-ins, not boarding or day-care), as the environment is familiar and it makes everything less stressful for them. I ask for detailed instructions on any routines and schedules your dog is used to and any behaviors you want me to reinforce to make the transition as smooth as possible for your pet.
About: I take care of our three dog, i make sure they have water and they are walked and they are clean, i also watched a puppy for a friend for a week and a half I love hanging out with any animal, they are so cute and cuddly, i couldn't imagine my life without any animals, they are a part of me I like to watch at the clients home, but if they need the dog out for the day i can take them to a dog park or if they don't get along with other dogs we can go to a park somewhere away
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages—everything from newborn puppies and kittens to sweet senior pets. I'm comfortable with puppy training basics like potty breaks, crate training, and building a routine, and I know how to support older pets with a calm and patient approach. I also love staying active, so I enjoy taking dogs on long walks or hikes to keep them happy and healthy. I offer house sitting too, making sure your pets feel safe and loved, and your home is treated with respect while you're away. As an online student, I have a flexible schedule that lets me balance my studies with pet care. I can easily accommodate regular walks, feeding times, or house sitting, ensuring your pets receive the attention they deserve :) When I care for pets in your home, safety and comfort come first. I make sure to follow any routines or specific instructions you’ve provided, so your pets feel relaxed and secure. I always ensure the environment is safe, clean, and pet-friendly. Most importantly, I give your pets the attention they need, keeping them happy and comfortable while you're away. You can trust that I’ll treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I’d give my own.
About: I've had animals a part of my family since I was born. Growing up it was my responsibility to take care of them - feeding, watering, walking, and cleaning up after their messes. I often looked after our neighbors' pets as well. I have experience with large and small dogs, various temperaments of cats, pets in their "baby" phase as well as older pets who need extra care and love. I am good with all breeds of dogs and cats. I like to give each pet time to get comfortable with me before entering into their space. I consider each pet I meet a new friend to bond with over play, walks, and snuggles. :) I am regularly a house cleaner who runs her own business in the local area, so this gives me the opportunity to be available to pet owners and their pet's needs. I currently care for 4 different family's pets throughout the year and have rarely come into a scheduling conflict. I like to give people the freedom they need in their life while not having to worry about their pet's needs. I do not currently have the space to care for other people's pets in my home but am willing to stay in their home overnight to accommodate their needs. I like to have the pet owners make a list of things I should know about their pets. This could be special needs, dos and don'ts, typical schedule for feeding, bedtime, etc., pet's favorite spot to lay or toy to play with. That way the pet(s) can stay closer to what they know for lower stress.

“Matthew was great! This was my first time leaving my Aussie with anyone. It was a two day trial run to see how he reacted being away from me and home for any length of time. He did great! Matthew was very thorough in gathering as much information about my dog, likes, dislikes, daily schedule, etc. Matthew’s home was very clean and roomy. Matthew sent me updates and pictures throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend Matthew to others.”
“Elizabeth was awesome with our dog Oscar. The dog loved her house and yard very much..... I'd strongly recommend her to anyone whose dog likes to play with other dogs and enjoys the outdoors! Thanks Elizabeth for giving Oscar such a great time while we were on vacation.”
“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.”
“Alexa was a fantastic care taker to my two border collies. I got frequent pictures and videos and it was clear my dogs settled in early! They were right at home. Alexa was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and I would absolutely use her again in the future. Your pets would be lucky to stay with her!”
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.
“Kyah went above and beyond for my dog, Anya. The daily updates and funny videos really made me feel like my dog was in a great home and was being given lots of attention and affection. I look forward to booking with Kyah again and I know Anya will be so happy to go back as well!”
“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!”
“This was Bruce's second time with the girls and he LOVED it! He's currently pouting now that he's home. They sent me photos and videos that melted my heart! It was very obvious he felt at home, and for a old man that's really important. I'm moving a few hours away at the end of the month, but I'll absolutely be saving their information for future travel plans flying out of SeaTac. One thousand percent recommended these ladies! 💛💙”
“James is a natural with dogs and made sure both our dogs were well cared for, walked, and comfortable while we were away. We have enjoyed meeting James, and hope to use his services again in the future for our boys, Bear & Arrow!”
“Awesome pet sitter, treated our pup like his own. Great communication and very inviting. Our pup didn’t want to leave. Definitely top tier pet sitter he’s worth the money!”
“Renton and Jordan took exceptional care of Bagheera and Baloo. From the moment we left, it was clear how attentive and loving they were—making sure both dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. They sent tons of pictures and updates every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind and honestly made us smile constantly. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters and would trust them again without hesitation.”
“Fantastic! Lauren and Ryan cared for our dogs like they were one of their own. The dogs had so much fun they didn't want to go home. Lauren provided lots of pictures and updates every day. I liked that our dogs were able to socialize with their dogs in a big backyard. Our dogs settled right in with Lauren and Ryan after a long day of play and fun.”
“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.”
“Kayla and Jacob took amazing care of our energetic lab. The property was great for our dog to play and explore. Their family treated our dog as one of their own, making us feel at ease while we were away for an extended time. Would definitely use again!”
“Very helpful in providing constant feedback and photos. We needed additional input for Apollos training and were very pleased on receiving frequent notes and also a good summary when we picked him up. Looking forward for next visit.”
“I think Reggie had a blast! He was a happy, tired camper when he came home. I think he thoroughly enjoyed being part of the family and going on all the walks and having multiple kids to play with!”
