“Brenda was a wonderful sitter for Penny! She was responsive, detail orientated, sent the best pictures, and I could tell she really cared about Pennys wellbeing! Would highly recommend.”
“Kevin and his partner were fantastic! They took excellent care of Edgar while I was gone, and pampered him to boot! Edgar was very sad to leave Kevin's side, and he had to be carried out.”
“Jana and her family have been an absolute gift. Summer is a very reserved, apprehensive little dog who has never stayed in someone else's home before, so I was understandably nervous. From the moment we met, Jana and her family were patient, gentle, and took the time to earn Summer's trust rather than expecting it. They cared for her as if she were their own, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was safe, comfortable, and in such a calm, loving home while our house was filled with the chaos of repairs, packing, and moving. Summer came home happy and relaxed, and I've already booked Jana again for several more stays. I couldn't recommend her more highly.”
“This is our third time with Rachael, and our dog gets so excited when she realizes where we are when I drop her off. Rachael is so communicative and puts us at ease with pictures videos and updates. We are so grateful we found her!”
“Melissa and Allan were great hosts and truly cared for our two high energy dogs. They took them for several walks a day and kept up constantly updated on our dog’s stay while we were away. 10/10”
“Chewie had a great day with Erin & Kevin. This was his first stay with them and he started out nervous, but E&K helped him through it. In the end, he was all wags and smiles.”
“Bentley had his own vacation while we took ours! Devan was communicative and make sure to keep my little guy active. Bentley even cried when he left he had so much fun! I highly recommend!”
“Tianci was an amazing host for Cannoli! The level of care and attention to detail that she and her husband gave during his stay was nothing short of impeccable. They took Cannoli on tons of walks, showered him with toys and treats, and gave him an adorable bath and spa-treatment. I highly recommend Tianci as a sitter!!!”
“Seth took such great care of my dog Peaches. He sent updates and pictures everyday and was a great communicator. We would definitely use him again and would recommend him to anyone to watch their furry friends!”
“Danielle and Joy took fantastic care of our Boston Terrier, Patrick. He requires medication and has some anxiety and Danielle and Joy did a great job handling these special needs.”
“Cannot recommend Jessica and her family enough! They treated our dog Pepper like their own and were incredibly patient with her quirks. Their dog Taro was also incredibly sweet with Pepper and it was heartwarming to receive photos and videos throughout the week of their excursions together!”
“Tomas is an *incredible* sitter. We left our two pups with him for a long weekend and didn’t worry for one single minute while we were gone. Tomas is very thorough in understanding what the pups need and who they are well before drop off, and he has a beautiful clean home with a great backyard. Plus, he’s a great human, too. I received regular updates and photos (the photos were so cute and so sweet), and he gave them SO much love while we were away! He went above and beyond to make them at-home and comfortable. My bigger dog even made friends with his dog, Karma, and they are buds now. I got a video of them playing so hard in the backyard, and it made me happy to see she was getting plenty of love and attention. We came back to two very happy dogs, and I will absolutely send them to Tomas’ house for our next trip. Highly recommend!!”
“Mimi was a joy to work with in boarding my special needs dog. I really appreciated her frequent updates in addition to her professional, yet down to earth nature. I would strongly recommend Mimi (and her resident dogs) to anyone looking for top notch dog boarding!”
“Matt's excellent! My dog Toby has so much fun with him and I'm at completely ease when Matt has him. I've had Matt watch Toby twice now and he's definitely the first person I ask when I'm going out of town. Matt is incredibly flexible with timing and accommodating. I would highly reccomend Matt to watch your furry friend. ”
“Maria is a saint and took such amazing care of our little guy- he didn’t want to leave! Her updates were so heartwarming and you can see how much she cares. Would definitely recommend!”
“Gregg took the best care of Misha! So many pictures and videos of her having the best time. He truly spoiled her and made me feel so at ease knowing my little fluff was being loved and adored. I’m looking forward to having him watch her again soon.”
“Shamaeka was an INCREDIBLE sitter for my dog! She consistently kept me up-to-date on his status, provided lots of pictures twice a day, gave him lots of love and attention, and was extremely understanding and accommodating when I had a delayed flight. I would absolutely recommend Shameka to anyone looking for a dog sitter. I intend on using her again. 5 Paws from Cannoli as well!”
“Mimi is awesome. She knows her niche of dog is provides wonderful care. Additionally she is super communicative, consistent, and responsible. Turtle loves staying with her! Thanks Mimi!”
“We absolutely cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Lorrie and Andrew. They are responsible, proactive, and thoughtful. Throughout the weekend we got the sweetest updates about Fran and her adventures with Maisy (who is the sweetest pup and such a great buddy to our dog!) We have no doubt that our dog had the best visit ever!!! When our flight was suddenly cancelled, Lorrie and Andrew didn’t hesitate to help us make sure that our dog was in great hands while we scrambled to get back home. We are forever so grateful for them, and really looking forward to working with them again!”

“Rachel did a great job taking care of my cat Biscuit. He usually runs away when people come over. He was actually curious and checking her out. Rachel sent pics and communicated with me. I believe Biscuit has a new friend.”
“Kevin and his partner are the absolute best! Not only did they take great care of Mr Winston (our cat) but they had their eyes out for little things around the house that really helped when we were traveling.”
“Allie was great! She sent a ton of photos and was very communicative. When the weather got hot she made sure Rooster was still comfy and hydrating. I came home to a very happy cat!! I was super late leaving for this trip and had to leave some dishes in my sink that she even cleaned for me 😭”
“We’ve had lots of different Rovers over the years and Casey is definitely THE BEST Rover we have ever had. He spent so much time getting to know our cat, Gracie, and making her feel comfortable with a new caregiver. I cannot recommend him more. 12/10.”
“Thanks to Kelly for coming by to check on my two cats while I was away this week! They are a bit skittish but she did her best to draw them out. Would definitely book Kelly again in the future!”
“They took fantastic care of our cats! We were given photos and info with every update we scheduled. They understood instructions clearly and were very kind!”
“Susan watched Willow while I was away for the holidays and I was so comforted with her extensive experience with pets and didn’t have to worry one bit. Susan absolutely loved on my girl and sent fantastic updates and pictures along the way. I will absolutely be using her again!”
About: Dedicated dog lover - whether your furry companion is a playful youngster or a distinguished senior, they'll receive my full care and attention during their stay. Currently, we have no dogs, so your pup will receive plenty of one-on-one time. Our home provides a warm, comfortable environment where your dog can relax and feel safe while you're away. All guests must be potty trained. I look forward to meeting your canine companion and making their stay a tail-wagging experience they'll love! I work part-time from home, and will be available for dog walks, belly rubs and backyard excursions throughout the day. My flexible schedule ensures your pup will get plenty of exercise, affection, and outdoor time while in my care. I have a fenced yard, love taking walks with dogs - whether that's one longer walk or multiple shorter walks, whatever it is they need.
“Yeji was great! Her updates and pictures from check-ins were the highlight of my day. It was very reassuring to see that my kittyboy getting some love while I was away. Definitely a great experience!”
“Christina did a great job with our 18yo cat with mobility issues. She easily handled all of our instructions and requests, communicated well, and went above and beyond to make Jonesy feel comfortable and safe. I highly recommend Christina; we hope to re-book her for any future trips we make.”
About: I have a balanced love for both dogs and cats, and I'm equally comfortable caring for both! I bring the same dedication to reliable feeding, thorough litter box maintenance, and playtime. I really enjoy learning each cat's unique personality—whether they want to chase a laser pointer or just prefer some quiet company—and I make sure they feel completely safe and comfortable on their own terms.
“Rachel was wonderful, very thoughtful and reliable for cat-sitting drop ins. I would definitely use her again! Prompt replies, showed up when she said she would, all in all, very professional.”
“We would highly recommend Marni. She was very responsive when we first reached out about booking a stay for our two kittens. She was very friendly and responsive to all our concerns. We had a concern about one of our cats who likes to dash out of open doors and Marni was very reassuring that she would take extra care. Marni was really friendly and communicative in the time leaving up to our kitties’ stay with her. She was very accommodating to all our requests. Marni took great care of our kittens and sent photos and updates daily. We were really happy with our kitties care and felt very comfortable while we were away.”
“Lauren was the best sitter I have ever had here on Rover. She was always quick to respond with any questions or concerns. She also took the time to really learn about the automatic feeders that use for our cats. She really made it easy for me to relax on vacation instead of worrying. My husband and I came home to a clean home and happy kitties.”
About: I've had cats all my life, and have been with some of them all the way from kittenhood through their senior years. I've always had a passion for all things cat, and pride myself on being fluent in "cat language". I'll happily give even the shyest or most skittish of cats the calmest atmosphere I possibly can.

“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.”
“This is my second 5-star review after several bookings with Jana. After Summer's first stay, I wrote about how patiently Jana and her family earned the trust of my very apprehensive little dog. Many stays later, I can say they gave her something even more wonderful: confidence and a genuine second family. Summer became completely at home with Jana, Tim and their children—hanging out in their rooms, playing outside, and even walking all the way around the block with Tim. By our last pickup, she seemed more interested in what their son was up to than leaving with me! What began as an urgent need for a safe place during work on our house became such a special connection for both Summer and me. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found this wonderful family.”
“Mimi took our Billie for a half day and socialized her with a few other shy pups she was watching at the same time. She was very accommodating when we were late picking her up due to traffic and our typically anti-social dog came home happy after making some friends. :)”
“Tomas was great with our boxer boy, Hank. Hank played all morning in Tomas’ yard, and he was tuckered out all afternoon. Tomas kept us updated with pictures of Hank playing hard and even a snuggle towards the end of the day. We will definitely reach out again when Hank needs another play day!”
“Matt took excellent care of our dog. He has great calming energy and Hondo was very happy there. I drove from Snoqualmie Pass to drop him off there and it was a great experience. Thanks Matt”
“Pickles had a great time with Maria! He was excited to see her and enjoyed his walks in the puppy stroller. Maria is very attentive and communicative. We loved the cute pictures throughout each day and always knew he was in good hands. Thank you, Maria!”
“Samantha took our sweet puppy when we needed a sitter last minute. Cosmo came home so happy and tired out from the fun day he had. I received updates that were appreciated and even a photo of our dog SMILING with his new friends. Thanks again for everything!”
“Niko loves going here and they take such good care of him! He pulls to the door in excitement and that’s the best sign that there can be to show how good they are to him ! They send me his pictures and keep me updated on what he’s doing throughout the day. Pick up and drop off has been extremely smooth- even at times that I need to drop him off extremely early. Both Lorrie and Andrew were extremely accommodating!”
“Erika was amazing with our girls! As a helicopter puppy parent, she was fabulous about sending lots of pictures and videos while I was at work to get me through the day. We will definitely see Erika again soon, they had so much fun!”
About: After losing my beautiful 11 year old Bernese, Indie, caring for other dogs is my way of honoring the love that I lost. I provide a quiet home with a fenced yard, daily walks, playtime, and lots of love. You get peace of mind. Your dog gets comfort, stability, fun and attention. You can travel worry-free, knowing your dog will be in great hands. I work from home Monday through Friday so I’m always available to keep your dog company and to go for walks. I typically walk each dog 2-3x daily. I have a fenced yard and live a block from the beach near Alki point. I can only accept dog non-aggressive dogs without major separation anxiety issues.
“Beau is kind, flexible and professional. Both my senior dog and my 7 month old pup went directly to him-exhibiting no separation anxiety at all. He took very good care of both dogs and worked-happily-around my complicated schedule. It was reassuring to trust that my dogs were getting top notch care!”
About: I have been a dog parent for 3 years now and am trying to spend more time taking care of dogs and cats in my spare time. I'm currently working part time and since I work from home, I have plenty of flexibility with my schedule to walk dogs, do home visits and board your beloved pet. I live in an apartment complex that is right next to Hiawatha Playfield and if your dog loves walking in the parks, this is an amazing park that my dog Oliver loves visiting every day.
About: I’ve lived alongside animals almost my entire life...from cats and dogs to ferrets and chickens. Having cared for animals at all stages of life, I will strictly respect any accommodations your pet needs. I also know how hard it is to leave them! So whether your pet has endless zoomies or is a total couch potato... they’ll be safe, understood, and cared for exactly as they are. 💛 I work a balanced schedule of WFH and in-office hours. My availability reflects days that I am either off-work or can be flexible and WFH. You have a guarantee that I will be able to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout listed days. I have a non-fenced 800 sq-ft townhouse on a pet-friendly shared lot. Care in home (both in my home and your's) is negotiable and based on your preferences! In my home, your pet will be allowed on furniture and will be supervised during potty breaks outside. Please specify any crating preferences. (You will need to bring their crate and supplies with you.) I have a small, 13 y-o chihuahua mix who does well with other pups and may be in the home at the same time, if not with his spare humans! Potty breaks throughout the day. Walks usually occur in the afternoon unless otherwise specified.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and know that every doggo has their own unique personality and needs. Whether your best friend is bursting with energy and needs long walks, or just wants a patient companion to chill on the couch with, I’m ready to adapt to their pace! I pride myself on being highly attentive, affectionate, and patient with dogs of all breeds and personalities. I am also fully comfortable administering medication and strictly adhering to your special care instructions.

Because I work from home, pet care fits seamlessly into my everyday life! My flexible schedule means your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive round-the-clock companionship.

Working from home also allows me to strictly adhere to any specific feeding or medication schedules your pet might have. Having cared for pets for years, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I am highly attentive, patient, and strictly follow all of your care instructions, including administering medications if needed. If I am hosting at my place, I have a fantastic window setup that cats absolutely love for bird-watching! No matter whose home we are in, I tailor my care to your pet's energy levels and send frequent photo updates so you always have peace of mind knowing they are safe and happy.
“My dog had a wonderful time at Kelly’s place! My dog is an escape artist and I appreciate that Kelly has experience caring for dogs who are like this. Kelly was very communicative and did a wonderful job caring for her.”

“Stella was happy and tired after her walk with Matt! She felt safe and happy with him right away after our meet and greet the day before and he reported that she did well on her walk :) a tired dog is a happy dog! Thank you Matt!”
“Katie was amazing! Always let me know if she was running a few min late. My dogs loved her, and she handled them well (they're strong pullers). Very positive attitude, even when the rain was just bucketing down! Would definitely recommend, and will use her again next time I need a dog walker :-)”
“Jenae was great with my dogs. Both my 15 year old senior dog and 8 month old puppy were well cared for and had fun with Jenae while I was at work. I’d recommend booking with Jenae for your pet care needs. Thank you for your help! 🙂”
About: Pets have always been my saving grace navigating through life. I don’t cry at funerals, but when my late bulldog passed the only thing that got me through was his little sister, Connie - my little girl English Bulldog. I currently have a full time job (fly fishing industry) and am available mornings and evenings everyday, with mondays and Tuesday being open all day and night. I have one young olde English Bulldog named Connie, she’s a lover and very affectionate. We live on the beach down on Alki in a small studio. She’s my entire world, comes to work with me occasionally but prefers to lounge and nap most of the time (she’s a bulldog after all…)
About: I am the one at the party hanging out with the dog/cat instead of the people…probably because I grew up with lots of cats and dogs (foster and forever home). I volunteer at the shelter as a dog walker several days a week. Between the shelter animals and my pup, Isla (11 y/o), I am especially experienced with reactive/anxious or shy animals. I was raised with a large variety of animals around constantly, as my father was a vet who worked with both domestic and exotic species, so I learned a lot, including being very comfortable giving medications. I have also been raising my own dogs since middle school and have roughly 12 years of experience watching other people's animals. I currently work freelance from home and I don't have any other obligations that aren't flexible. I have plenty of time to hang with your pets for as long as they/you need. I offer drop ins for potty breaks and playtime, as well as dog walks. Walks would vary based on the pets needs, but I am fully willing to accommodate most requests while giving walks. I volunteer regularly at the shelter and have experience handling pets with high anxiety.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, so caring for them feels natural to me. I’ve learned that every dog has a different personality, energy level, routine, and comfort zone, and I take the time to meet them where they are. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, a slower pace, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to adjust my care to what works best for them. I pay attention to feeding routines, exercise, behavior, and the little things that help a dog feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy being around dogs. I want your pet to feel relaxed, cared for, and excited to see me, not like they’re just another booking on my schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m comfortable building my day around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and companionship while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I take safety seriously and always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, house rules, and anything specific to their pet. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet and the space, and I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details are handled carefully.
“Christina was super flexible with a last minute request to walk my very high energy German shepherd puppy. She took him on a great loop around the neighborhood and provided picture updates from the walk. Absolutely would book 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).

“Alyssa is quickly becoming Rowdy’s favorite… I know because he does his little howl every time he sees her! He loves spending time with her and he came back from his walk exhausted! Alyssa is a godsend, making my crazy life easier!!! 😍”
“Saghar is fantastic! She’s great with my pup and kitty, knowkedable and kind, but also highly engaging with me as a pet-owner. She helped me troubleshoot my cat’s litter box issues and resolve them. I trust her completely and feel very relaxed knowing she is doing the best for my fur-babies at all times. I highly recommend her!!”

About: I’ve been loving and caring for animals for as long as I can remember. My oldest cat is 18 and was the very first pet I brought home on my own. We’ve been through so many of life’s ups and downs together, and along the way, we’ve welcomed more furry family members into our life. Each one has taught us something new—especially about the wide range of cattitudes and unique personalities we can all have. It’s always been important to me that my pets feel loved and safe, even when I’m not right there with them. I want your pets to feel that same love and comfort when you’re away, too. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle and routine, making pet sitting a perfect extension of how I live day to day. I work in healthcare operations in a flexible hybrid role, which allows me to adapt my schedule based on the needs of the pets I’m caring for. When I’m booked, I stay in the pet’s home to keep their environment as comfortable and familiar as possible—something I’ve found really helps them feel safe and relaxed while their people are away. I’m based in West Seattle and love spending my time walking or running around our beautiful neighborhood—anywhere from 4 to 13 miles a day—so active dogs especially enjoy staying on the move with me. I’m an explorer at heart, and having a furry companion by my side just makes every outing that much better. I am a quiet solo cat mom who cherishes every opportunity to spend time with animals and let them feel loved when their main squeeze is away. I strive to keep a pets routine the same as it always is to not add to the stress of their already missing you, even if they don’t want to admit it.

About: Hi, I'm Stella! My legal name (which Rover requires me to display) is Leigh, but in day-to-day interactions I prefer to go by Stella. :) Although I've been a cat person all my life, I've also always loved dogs. Recently my family members have been adopting dogs into their various collections of pets, including a Manchester terrier who has decided I'm his second favorite person (besides my mom, and I can't blame him there!). I've absolutely loved the opportunity to care for him when my parents travel a few times a year, and will absolutely bring that same level of enthusiasm to caring for your pup! I'm primarily self employed, as well as doing gig work, so I have a lot of flexibility to give your pet the care they need on a schedule that works for you! I'm most often available on weekdays, as the gigs I do usually fall on weekends. I'm very interested in learning your pet's personality, and taking the time needed to get them comfortable with me. I'm particularly good at "cat language", but am dedicated to learning "dog language" as well. I'd also love to hear from you about your pet's likes, dislikes, preferences, and anything else I should know to give them the best experience possible!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life! I love being with dogs of all shapes sizes and personalities! I will bring upbeat, energy for puppies and low chill days for all of our older dog friends. Growing up I’ve always helped train our dogs to sit lay down roll over and potty train properly in my entire lifetime. I have had four dogs. I have had a Pomeranian a teacup Chihuahua a golden retriever and I currently have a chocolate lab I’ve given them all love and taking care of them and love them as much as I could, and now I want to love on your pup! I am currently only attending college around 2 to 3 days a week so I am pretty open any of the other days to take care of your pups! I have one dog who is six years old. I have a large fenced in backyard and I live in a very large neighborhood where I can walk dogs and take them to leashed parks.

“Jana and her family have been an absolute gift. Summer is a very reserved, apprehensive little dog who has never stayed in someone else's home before, so I was understandably nervous. From the moment we met, Jana and her family were patient, gentle, and took the time to earn Summer's trust rather than expecting it. They cared for her as if she were their own, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was safe, comfortable, and in such a calm, loving home while our house was filled with the chaos of repairs, packing, and moving. Summer came home happy and relaxed, and I've already booked Jana again for several more stays. I couldn't recommend her more highly.”
“Chewie had a great day with Erin & Kevin. This was his first stay with them and he started out nervous, but E&K helped him through it. In the end, he was all wags and smiles.”
“Seth took such great care of my dog Peaches. He sent updates and pictures everyday and was a great communicator. We would definitely use him again and would recommend him to anyone to watch their furry friends!”
“Cannot recommend Jessica and her family enough! They treated our dog Pepper like their own and were incredibly patient with her quirks. Their dog Taro was also incredibly sweet with Pepper and it was heartwarming to receive photos and videos throughout the week of their excursions together!”
“Tomas is an *incredible* sitter. We left our two pups with him for a long weekend and didn’t worry for one single minute while we were gone. Tomas is very thorough in understanding what the pups need and who they are well before drop off, and he has a beautiful clean home with a great backyard. Plus, he’s a great human, too. I received regular updates and photos (the photos were so cute and so sweet), and he gave them SO much love while we were away! He went above and beyond to make them at-home and comfortable. My bigger dog even made friends with his dog, Karma, and they are buds now. I got a video of them playing so hard in the backyard, and it made me happy to see she was getting plenty of love and attention. We came back to two very happy dogs, and I will absolutely send them to Tomas’ house for our next trip. Highly recommend!!”
“Matt's excellent! My dog Toby has so much fun with him and I'm at completely ease when Matt has him. I've had Matt watch Toby twice now and he's definitely the first person I ask when I'm going out of town. Matt is incredibly flexible with timing and accommodating. I would highly reccomend Matt to watch your furry friend. ”
“Gregg took the best care of Misha! So many pictures and videos of her having the best time. He truly spoiled her and made me feel so at ease knowing my little fluff was being loved and adored. I’m looking forward to having him watch her again soon.”
“We absolutely cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Lorrie and Andrew. They are responsible, proactive, and thoughtful. Throughout the weekend we got the sweetest updates about Fran and her adventures with Maisy (who is the sweetest pup and such a great buddy to our dog!) We have no doubt that our dog had the best visit ever!!! When our flight was suddenly cancelled, Lorrie and Andrew didn’t hesitate to help us make sure that our dog was in great hands while we scrambled to get back home. We are forever so grateful for them, and really looking forward to working with them again!”
“Michaela was so great! She sent many photos of her walks with Nova during her stay. Nova can be a hard puller on the leash but Michaela made sure that she still got her daily walks in. Nova was calm and happy when I got her back so I know she enjoyed her stay! Thank you, Michaela!”
“Angelique was an amazing host for our pup. I can easily tell Koda had a wonderful time during her stay and came back a very happy puppy dog! We super appreciated all the thoughtful updates and photos, and Koda's already looking forward to hey next vacation!”
“Catherine was so wonderful with Pip! Sent lots of photos and updated us on all their activities. They did plenty of walking and playing! Catherine also knew the perfect times to take Pip outside to avoid crowds and other dogs. Highly recommend Catherine!”
“Kevin was very accommodating and let my dog Judy come over for a meet and greet before staying with him. Judy was a tired and happy pup on pickup. We're happy to have a boarding option much closer to home!”
“Michael was an amazing sitter for my dog and communicator for me!! We had a last minute schedule change and were traveling to Seattle unexpectedly. Michael was so helpful and accommodating to make this work with less notice than usual! He was prompt and communicative sending me pictures of Sox updates along the way. His dog Ellie was very chill and seemed to get along with Sox great. I definitely would (and will!) work with Michael again!”
“Another great stay with Maria and Kalyan! Their reliable care, 10/10 communication, and the TLC they give our Rhodesian Ridgeback sets the bar high among the rest. They are our “go to” sitter and we appreciate them so much. Highly recommend!”
“Another wonderful stay! It’s always a mini vacation for Zella when she stays with Janet. We’re so appreciative of the adorable daily updates of Zella’s adventures around Seattle! :)”
“Samantha was totally great with Fergus and the pups played so well together- tons of pictures and updates. We’re looking forward to our next stay with Samantha and team! ❤️”
“Allison was so great with my dog. I could tell my dog had a good time with her. I received a lot of photos so I felt good about leaving Zeta with her and will definitely book again :)”
“Thank you so much for helping us out in such a pinch and also for being such an incredible friend to our pups. We can get nervous every time we need to go out of town hoping our dogs will do well and we can tell they thrived with you. Thanks for taking care of them! Will be back again”
“Randsell watched Milo while we were on a 7 day cruise. She sent lots of photos and videos, and took him on lots of walks and gave him a lot of attention. We would definitely rebook her when we're in the area again!”
