“Our girl Rebel was so happy to and well taken care of. We got lots of photos and updates daily, it gave it peace of mind trust our baby was well taken care of and being loved.”
“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.”
“My 2 year old Springer Spaniel Boxer mix, Edie, had a wonderful time with Jana and her family! When I normally leave Edie at her doggy daycare to travel, she barely eats and seems anxious when I come to pick her up. Not the case this time! Edie ate all the food I had packed for her along with all the treats! She loved running around and puppy style wrestling with Hazel! Jana gave me updates twice a day with pictures and videos of the ladies playing. I truly do believe that Edie had a dog vacay with Hazel and Jana!”
“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.”
“Rachael was great. She provided me regular updates on my pup while he stayed with her, which I very much appreciated. She also responded to any and all of my communications quickly and was very flexible. Would definitely recommend.”
“Pixel absolutely adores his visits with Melissa and Allan. They provide great, regular updates and treat him like one of the family. Thanks for another fantastic stay!”
About: From energetic puppies requiring constant supervision and socialization to senior dogs needing gentle, specialized care, I have successfully owned and cared for dogs at every stage of life. My comprehensive approach includes maintaining feeding schedules, administering medications as needed and providing appropriate exercise based on age and ability. Of course companionship and attention that keeps dogs happy and stress-free is the main goal. Whether your furry friend is a playful young pup who needs active engagement and training reinforcement, an adult dog requiring reliable routine maintenance, or an elderly companion needing extra patience and comfort, I adapt my care style to meet their specific needs. I'm a stay-at-home dad, available throughout the day to give your furry friend(s) attention & routine walks to provide the personalized attention they need to feel happy and comfortable. Our home features a fully fenced yard, and we can easily adapt our living space to suit your dog's specific needs. Senior dogs who struggle with stairs can enjoy our spacious main floor area, with direct outdoor access via just a few easy steps. Puppies still working on house training can stay in our dedicated tiled room, which can be safely sectioned off, while nervous or skittish dogs can have their own quiet, comfortable space to feel secure.
“Ana took amazing care of my dog! She gave me frequent updates and pictures about how my pup was doing. I could tell how much love, attention, and care her and her daughter were giving to my dog. They took her on frequent walks and even took her hiking! I very strongly recommend Ana!!”
“Jerica and Nori were amazing! Nori was playful and accommodating with a new dog on his turf and he and Toby played so well together! I got lots of photos and updates from Jerica during Toby’s stay and it was clear Toby had a great time and was well cared for. Highly recommend Jerica! We will re-book in a heartbeat!”
“We gotta say, we’ve had rover sitters before (some good, some not so good) but Gregg by far has exceeded all of our expectations. We asked him beforehand if he was okay with one of our reactive and pulley dogs, and he said he was. We set up a meet and greet before booking and both our dogs took to Gregg immediately. He just had such a kind, warm demeanor to him, and although we had other meet and greets scheduled throughout the week, no one even came close to Gregg. The booking itself was exactly what we thought it would be — amazing. Gregg was very communicative, with constant updates/photos/videos throughout the day, was very attentive towards both of our dogs needs, kept them engaged throughout their stay, followed all instructions on feeding/walking times, and even kept a close eye on one of our dogs paw chewing. When we came to pick them up, it was very clear they had a blast with Gregg, and even bonded with him as well!!! Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and because of that, we are just so grateful to have found him!!! He is going to be our go-to sitter going forward, and we know our dogs can’t wait for their next adventure with Gregg!!!”
“Mimi took phenomenal care of my very old and fairly awkward pup. My dog takes a very long time to warm up to anyone, and within a day or two of her stay with Mimi she was snuggling right in and seemingly very happy. Mimi shared regular updates and was very attentive to my dog — even arranging for a nail trim and picking up a prescription that we unexpectedly ran out of. I would recommend Mimi to anyone, especially folks with dogs who may need some extra TLC. Thank you, Mimi!”
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.
“Erin and Kevin, you were both so wonderful with Pip. Thank you!!! My dog Pip is high energy and always wants attention. Kevin tired her out on runs and on top of that sent me some beautiful pictures. I'd highly recommend Erin and Kevin to anyone looking for a loving temporary home for their furry family member.”
“Matt is the best!!!! I hate leaving my puppy but Matts 16 pics a day made it WAY easier. :) Loved all the play and stimulation that Bernie got from the other dogs too. Will def book Matt again. Thank youuuu.”
“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!”
“Micaela agreed to watch Birdie and Violet, our two small chihuahua/terrier mix pups, for the weekend. We did a meet and greet first which was lovely and helped ensure Birdie and Violet were a good temperament and match before doing overnight boarding. Micaela is a skilled, considerate and thorough caretaker. She ensured our pups got great care and it is clear she spent time reading our Rover profile and care details (which are admittedly rather lengthy 😂). I’m glad our detailed descriptions for the dogs’ care is helpful and am so glad Micaela is such an attentive and kind sitter. She provided great updates along with photos from her time with the girls. She was even able to get our rather shy one-year-old Chihuahua to warm up to her within just a day, which is no small feat!! The pups came back from their stay very happy and with a good review! I’m so glad we met Micaela and we will absolutely look forward to working with her again in the future. Thank you, Micaela!”
“Jessica and family are amazing hosts! They took care of our pup like she was one of thier own. Super flexible and communicative. Would ABSOLUTELY book again. Can’t recommend enough!”
“I’ve booked them several times for two dogs. I could tell my fur babies get a lot of love and affection in their home (e.g., cuddling on the sofa together). They are highly responsive, friendly, stay connected with photos, and accommodating. I’m so glad l have a reliable sitter close to me. I can always count on them if they are available.”

“On Rachel's 2nd visit with my cat Biscuit he actually hung out with her. He even let Rachel pet him. This is amazing as Biscuit never hangs out with people that come to my house. He always hides. I couldn't be more pleased and relieved. Rachel has a gift, a calm presence. I believe this is why Biscuit felt so comfortable. Thank you Rachel for taking such good care of Biscuit.”
“Kevin has watched both our cat and dog. We are repeat customers because he does an excellent job. It’s a great feeling to know our pets are under Kevin’s care while we’re away.”
“Sara was great with my elderly cats and made me feel so much better about leaving them for the weekend. She rolled with the constantly changing medical and food needs in the lead up to my trip. We'd all happily have Sara come stay again!”
“Look no further for the best care for the best price! Zenia took amazing care of my little guy, Indigo. Very caring, trustworthy, and friendly! Highly recommend! Thanks Zenia, Indigo says hi!”
“Second time Kelly has watched Fiona! Really appreciate the care and fun play time she gives Fiona during her visits. I can tell Fiona is happy and enjoyed herself. Thank you!”
“We love Allie and so does our kitty Lolly!! She always is so thorough and treats our cat like she’s her own. Allie is our main go to for all our out of town trips.”
“Glory was fantastic. She took such good care of our home and our kitties really were smitten with her. We felt very at ease during our vacation and would definitely hire her again for future trips.”
“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.”
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.
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.
“Susan was a great sitter for my two cats! Her updates were engaging and fun to read, giving information on the day’s play and eating events. The cats loved playing and cuddling with her during their visits. The cats and apartment looked great upon my return. Definitely recommend!”
“Kevin is a wonderful sitter!! He notices small details if anything seems new or different for either of my cats, and is gracious about managing any messes they might leave behind. They are super comfortable with him, and I always feel good about leaving them in his care.”
“Marni boarded our cats for the second time and she was as wonderful this time as she was last time! It was very easy to communicate and book the stay, she was super responsive, and gave us regular updates and photos of the kitties while we were gone. We felt very comfortable that the cats were safe and happy in her care.”
“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.”
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.
“I appreciated Lauren taking care of my cat on shorter notice. She was communicative about the visits and kept an eye out for the place as a whole. Would definitely consider reserving Lauren again!”

“Rachael is the absolute best! Quick to respond and keep me updated on my doggo with pics. It’s my first time using Rover and she made the experience a great one. She came in as a lifesaver when i needed a super last min sitter. She took care of my Luna like it was her own. Super recommend ❤️”

“I can't express how glad I am that I found Kimberly. My dog absolutely loves her. Super excited at drop off and reluctant to leave at pick up. He comes home happy and healthy, and I get a much needed break.”
“Kim was absolutely wonderful! Pickles immediately wagged his tail when he saw her for the first time and did not hesitate to go inside for his first day. Pickles has an insane amount of puppy energy, and Kim was incredibly patient with him. He looked so happy at pickup. Kim sent me pictures of Pickles and his new friends. Looks like he had a blast with the other pups. We will be back! We have already rebooked :)”
“Maria is an absolute gem. My 14 week old puppy was in the loveliest of care with her! I’m an anxious pet parent—Maria put me at total ease with her warm demeanor, frequent updates, and sweetest photos. I’m beyond grateful.”
“Absolutely loved our experience! Matt took such great care of my dog and kept me updated with tons of sweet photos throughout the day. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Ollie always has the best time with Beau and Mellow! We feel so comfortable sending our boy to Beau's and he comes back happy, healthy and tired from playing, every time!”
“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!”
About: I offer a highly attentive, adaptive, and active environment for your dog, backed by over nine years of dedicated, hands-on experience. Raising my own dog, Toby, gave me a deep understanding of complex canine needs. He was reactive, which taught me how to read body language, advocate for a dog's space, and safely manage environments so he could still enjoy a life full of hiking and cross-country adventures. As he aged, I gained extensive experience in senior care, navigating his slowed pace and confidently managing canine epilepsy, including precise medication administration. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have a long history of pet sitting for family and friends. Whether your dog is an active adventurer who wants to hit the trails or a senior who prefers a quiet day on the couch, I tailor my care to their specific pace and personality. What Sets Me Apart: - Proximity to Alki Beach & Trails: We love taking dogs on outings to nearby Alki Beach or local hikes, making us a great fit for high-energy dogs who thrive outdoors. - Deep Respect for Boundaries: Because of my experience with a reactive dog, I never force interactions. If your dog is anxious, selective, or uncomfortable in crowded spaces, I strictly respect their boundaries and keep them in environments where they feel safe. Full-Time, Double-Coverage Remote Care: Both my husband and I work from home full-time. Your dog will never be left alone for long stretches, and our schedule allows for flexible potty breaks, frequent walks, and constant companionship. We are a true dog-loving family with a safe, secure home environment designed to give you complete peace of mind while you are away. We no longer have a dog at home so your best friend will be the sole animal in the home. We live in a townhome with a small, unfenced patio area.
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.

“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.”
“Amazing! Very responsive and communicative - Lorrie messaged me photos, videos, and kept in contact throughout the day to let me know Birdie was safe and having fun. I highly recommend 😊”
About: Hi, I'm Thuy ("Twee" or Nikki). Former social worker and teacher, now a stay at home mom working part time on my art program for neurodiverse children. Animals are my other love! I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child, but more so recently after leaving my career. As a stay at home mom, I have the extra time and attention to care for your pet. And I will love them as they are a part of my family! Since we don't have pets, Rover has been the next best thing to happen for us. I am at home full time 7 days a week. If I'm not doing home duties, I am spending time with my kids outside. I have two boys ages 5 and 7 who I homeschool. They are sweet boys and love animals as well. We'd love to have a companion to join us on our walks and small adventures (if that's their thing). Otherwise, staying in is so nice too - we love doing art, making food, and having company at our cozy home ❤️ We have AC for the hot summers for added comfort. I have most experience with small and medium dogs that require gentle care, administering medication, and providing care for their special needs. I am at home full time 7 days a week. My husband is a small business owner/chiropractor with very flexible schedule so if I need to run errands, he takes over. Someone is always home so your pet will never feel alone. Providing safety is essential in building trust and a good relationship. Providing the environment for rest and play is secondary but equally as important. I strive to make every pet comfortable in our home, respect boundaries, and cater to their specific needs.
About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, including raising three of my own from puppyhood. I'm comfortable with training needs, exercising pets, administering medication, and the special needs of puppies and seniors. I have extremely high standards for the people I choose to care for my pets, and I hold myself to those standards when caring for others. Leaving your pets doesn't have to be worrisome or stressful when you know they are receiving quality care under a watchful eye. I provide safety and affection for all animals and would be honored to help care for your pets when you have to be away. I am currently going back to school as an online student and have an extremely flexible schedule. I'm available for drop ins, walks, and boarding in my home seven days a week. Drop ins and walks can occur between 6AM- 8PM. When I do drops in and walks at your home, your pet is with me and under my watch the entire time. I am happy to follow any rules you provide. For boarding in my home, I have a fully fenced back yard with a designated dog potty area. Even though the yard is fenced, I supervise all outside breaks to ensure your pet's safety and security. I do have two dogs of my own, both females, and currently only board female dogs. One of my dogs is a 15lb rat terrier mix, and the other is a 70lb lab mix. Both are well socialized with animals and people, and are accustomed to other dogs being in our home. I constantly monitor dog energy levels and body language to ensure breaks are taken when needed and that your pets don't experience overstimulation.

“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 :-)”
“Matt is an exceptionally awesome dog walker. My energetic Airedale terrier loves him and I REALLY appreciate the ground he covers with her outdoors in a short period of time!!! With Matt I know she is actually getting a lively energetic vigorous outing (as opposed to an amble and sniff) which makes all the difference when I'm at work. Photos of her are panting/smiling/happy outdoors. If you have a smart/hunting/working dog or a high-exercise needs dog, Matt is who you want. Seriously. Also he gave my pup extra TLC/company when she was in surgery recovery and he didn't even know us then. Such a kind person.”

About: From cats to dogs and anything in between— I would love to take care of your pet! I’ve been around animals my entire life. Currently, I’m an animal foster parent and I’m looking to watch some extra furry friends when I don’t have a foster in my care!

I’m willing and able to let dogs sniff to their hearts content! For feline friends, I’m adept at reading body language and cues. I will meet them where they’re at whether that means playtime, snuggle time, or quiet time.
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: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was seven years old, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. What started as a love for animals grew into years of hands-on experience walking, training, and pet sitting for friends, family, and their extended circles. Over time, I’ve built a reputation for being dependable, patient, and genuinely invested in every dog’s well-being. From energetic puppies who need structure and play to senior dogs who need extra patience and comfort, I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and care needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I take pride in meeting them where they are whether that means high energy adventures, gentle walks, reinforcing training, or simply providing companionship. Pet care isn’t just something I do it’s part of my everyday life. As a full-time sitter, my days are centered around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I know how important consistency and trust are, especially when you’re leaving your furry family member in someone else’s hands. My top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a calm, nurturing environment for your pet. Before our time together, I make it a point to learn their routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide the best care possible. Whether it’s a quick walk, training support, or overnight care, I treat every dog like family because that’s exactly how they deserve to be treated Pet care is at the center of my daily and weekly routine. As a full-time sitter, I dedicate my time to walks, play, feedings, and companionship Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are my top priorities when caring for your pet.

You can trust that I will treat your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for every step of the way.
“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! 🙂”
“Kimberly jumped right in to help me and my mom walk my sometimes anxious dog. She gave full reports on the potty movements while walking and the exciting times she ran into bunnies. Kimberly has been flexible on the days when we need to changes the times and one day when Millie did not want to walk. Photos and walk routes were provided. I will use Kimberly again!”
“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!!! 😍”

About: I've taken care of dogs all sizes and ages. I have experience giving medication, that includes doggies who are reluctant to take it :) I have facilitated general comfort care for dogs in the past that suffered from seizures. I'm no stranger to long walks, giving baths and even assisted with training a friend's puppy. Dogs and cats bring a lot of joy to my life and I would love to help make your life easier, and you can know your furry friends will be in great hands! I work full-time from late afternoon to night, so I have a good chunk of the morning/early afternoon to get walkies in with your dog and give out tons of scritches and treats! I'm also available any time during my days off! For now, I won't be caring for your pet in my home as my dog has trusting issues. However I am available for dog walks and drop-in visits at your home!
“Rachael did a great job caring for our small dog who isn’t the friendliest to strangers. She took him on long walks and was great at communicating with us. Would definitely use her again.”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. Growing up, I had three dogs of my own, and caring for them taught me how much love, patience, and attention they need.

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!
“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!!”

“Our girl Rebel was so happy to and well taken care of. We got lots of photos and updates daily, it gave it peace of mind trust our baby was well taken care of and being loved.”
“My 2 year old Springer Spaniel Boxer mix, Edie, had a wonderful time with Jana and her family! When I normally leave Edie at her doggy daycare to travel, she barely eats and seems anxious when I come to pick her up. Not the case this time! Edie ate all the food I had packed for her along with all the treats! She loved running around and puppy style wrestling with Hazel! Jana gave me updates twice a day with pictures and videos of the ladies playing. I truly do believe that Edie had a dog vacay with Hazel and Jana!”
About: From energetic puppies requiring constant supervision and socialization to senior dogs needing gentle, specialized care, I have successfully owned and cared for dogs at every stage of life. My comprehensive approach includes maintaining feeding schedules, administering medications as needed and providing appropriate exercise based on age and ability. Of course companionship and attention that keeps dogs happy and stress-free is the main goal. Whether your furry friend is a playful young pup who needs active engagement and training reinforcement, an adult dog requiring reliable routine maintenance, or an elderly companion needing extra patience and comfort, I adapt my care style to meet their specific needs. I'm a stay-at-home dad, available throughout the day to give your furry friend(s) attention & routine walks to provide the personalized attention they need to feel happy and comfortable. Our home features a fully fenced yard, and we can easily adapt our living space to suit your dog's specific needs. Senior dogs who struggle with stairs can enjoy our spacious main floor area, with direct outdoor access via just a few easy steps. Puppies still working on house training can stay in our dedicated tiled room, which can be safely sectioned off, while nervous or skittish dogs can have their own quiet, comfortable space to feel secure.
“We gotta say, we’ve had rover sitters before (some good, some not so good) but Gregg by far has exceeded all of our expectations. We asked him beforehand if he was okay with one of our reactive and pulley dogs, and he said he was. We set up a meet and greet before booking and both our dogs took to Gregg immediately. He just had such a kind, warm demeanor to him, and although we had other meet and greets scheduled throughout the week, no one even came close to Gregg. The booking itself was exactly what we thought it would be — amazing. Gregg was very communicative, with constant updates/photos/videos throughout the day, was very attentive towards both of our dogs needs, kept them engaged throughout their stay, followed all instructions on feeding/walking times, and even kept a close eye on one of our dogs paw chewing. When we came to pick them up, it was very clear they had a blast with Gregg, and even bonded with him as well!!! Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and because of that, we are just so grateful to have found him!!! He is going to be our go-to sitter going forward, and we know our dogs can’t wait for their next adventure with Gregg!!!”
“Erin and Kevin, you were both so wonderful with Pip. Thank you!!! My dog Pip is high energy and always wants attention. Kevin tired her out on runs and on top of that sent me some beautiful pictures. I'd highly recommend Erin and Kevin to anyone looking for a loving temporary home for their furry family member.”
“Matt is the best!!!! I hate leaving my puppy but Matts 16 pics a day made it WAY easier. :) Loved all the play and stimulation that Bernie got from the other dogs too. Will def book Matt again. Thank youuuu.”
“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!”
“Micaela agreed to watch Birdie and Violet, our two small chihuahua/terrier mix pups, for the weekend. We did a meet and greet first which was lovely and helped ensure Birdie and Violet were a good temperament and match before doing overnight boarding. Micaela is a skilled, considerate and thorough caretaker. She ensured our pups got great care and it is clear she spent time reading our Rover profile and care details (which are admittedly rather lengthy 😂). I’m glad our detailed descriptions for the dogs’ care is helpful and am so glad Micaela is such an attentive and kind sitter. She provided great updates along with photos from her time with the girls. She was even able to get our rather shy one-year-old Chihuahua to warm up to her within just a day, which is no small feat!! The pups came back from their stay very happy and with a good review! I’m so glad we met Micaela and we will absolutely look forward to working with her again in the future. Thank you, Micaela!”
“Our miniature Australian Shepherd pixel always has a wonderful time when he stays with Catherine. She is a great communicator and does a fantastic job ensuring that he gets plenty of activity and interaction. Thank you!!”
“They were so great with our dog Max. He seemed to have a great time. They sent lots of pics and kept in touch. Would love to use them again next time we are in Seattle.”
“Rachelle and Jonathan took such great care of Teddy! They were incredibly communicative throughout his stay, sending updates and lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. They even took him to the beach, and it was clear from the pictures that he was having an absolute blast. It was obvious that they genuinely cared about making sure he had a fun and enjoyable time. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable sitters, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
“Ramon was great with Nilla! He took her on long walks which she loved and even made an employee of the month comic of her (which we loved!) Would book a stay with Ramon again!”
“Jennifer and Ken were so great with my timid rescue dog! They were extremely communicative and sent me an update with pictures every day and even took her on a hike for some extra exercise. I would highly recommend them and will definitely be rebooking in the future if needed!”
“Kim & Jonathan were great! She cared for Lyra like she was her own pup and the pictures she sent of Lyra were fantastic. I could tell Lyra was well taken care of and had alot of attention from Kim & Jonathan the entire time. Would definitley book with again”
“Randsell was an amazing sitter. My dog was so well taken care of, monitored, and loved. I would absolutely recommend her to watch your dog. She clearly has a passion for dogs, and she is always keeping them entertained and sending photos and videos along the way. Thank you for taking such good care of her! I hope to book with Randsell again soon :-)”
“Pramukh is an excellent communicator and was flexible with drop-off / pick-up times. He sent daily status reports with multiple pictures; I felt assured my BFF was in good hands and cared for.”
“Layla always loves going to Regina’s! When I pack her bag to head over there she gets really excited and gets the zoomies :) I always trust Regina with taking care of Layla and love all the pics she sends over!”
“Yalined welcomed my dog Hank into their home, and he had a very nice stay. He was relaxed when I picked him up and I would use Yalined again when I go on a trip.”
