Highly-rated overnight sitters - Arbor Heights
“Wow, I am SO happy to have found and met Maria. She loves dogs so much and considers each one for their individual personality and needs. She got to know my two girls so well, just really observing their behaviors and genuinely wanting what’s best for them individually. She sent me so many photos and videos. There was not a single second that I was worried about their care. This was truly a vacation for my dogs and they had the best time with Maria. I can’t even say enough about what an incredible, kind and thoughtful woman she is. My girls and I have found a new friend and we just adore her!”
“We were beyond happy with the level of attention and care Richard provided to our mini golden-doodle, Clark! Richard was extremely communicative before and during Clark’s stay and sent us lots of photos and videos of Clark to help ease our minds while we were away on a work trip! This was one of the very few times I felt worried or had concerns for leaving my pup with a sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with Richard again and I’m sure Clark will be excited for his next stay with him as well!”
“Maria and Kalyan continue to be our go-to Rover for our dog, Feliks. We know Feliks is in the best care when he’s with them, which allows us to truly enjoy being out of town without worry. Feliks also loves getting to spend time with his friend Nikko! 😊”
“Kirsten is the absolute best. She was very thorough when we first met to understand if our dog had any special requests she needed to accommodate. When dropping our dog, Riley, at her house she gave a tour to show where the dogs were allowed which was very reassuring. Kirsten sent daily updates from their walks and time at the park. I without a doubt leave our dog with Kirsten again and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone.”
“Jeremy was great with our pup. Our dog is often anxious with new people/spaces, but Jeremy and his dogs seemed to put ours at ease. Jeremy was also extremely friendly and a great communicator. Thanks Jeremy!”
“I highly recommend Molly for dog sitting in her home. She did everything possible to ensure my anxious Chihuahua was happy and comfortable. He ended up having a great time! We will definitely book with her again.”
“We are so grateful for Daisha and Tam for taking such excellent care and loving Cocoa. When we picked up Cocoa, she was clean, smells good, happy! Thank you for all the photos/updates you sent us everyday. Daisha and Tam and their clean home and beautiful big yard are just perfect!!!!”
“Once again, another wonderful vacation for my love with Kimiko. She takes such loving care of my girl, this time cleaning her waxy ears daily. Until next time. Thank you so much!”
“Our dog had a great time during his stay with Miriam. She sent pics every day. Our fur baby also enjoyed hanging out with his new friend Betty (Miriam’s dog)! He was all puckered out when we picked him up. We will definitely reach out to Miriam in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Jennifer is AMAZING! Very easy to work with, communicates well, and is flexible. She took Lola Rae on two walks a day and sent updates with pictures.”
“Martha is lovely!! Our little Felix spent a weekend with Martha and family and received great care. We received regular updates and knew the little guy was having a blast hanging out in the yard. Martha was kind, low key, and just lovely. Thank you to Martha and family for taking care of Felix while we were away :-D”
“Joe was wonderful with our pitbull and shih tzu! He was thoughtful, communicative, and attentive both before and during their care. He gave them plenty of walks, made sure they were comfortable, and kept us updated with pictures and messages. Joe was also very flexible and accommodating, which gave us great peace of mind. We would absolutely book with him again!”
“Brenda took wonderful care of our dog, Zelda, during our 4 day trip. Zelda can be a finicky eater and also chews up paper, so leaving her with a caring and attentive Rover really helps us be able to travel with ease. Zelda did great under Brenda's care, and came home happy and healthy. I definitely recommend booking with Brenda and will rebook in the future! Thank you so much!”
“Greg was a phenomenal sitter to my best friend! He sent daily updates, pictures, and clearly devoted a lot of 1 on 1 time with my dog throughout his stay. He was quick to communicate and my dog fell in love with him immediately. I would highly recommend Greg and will absolutely request him in the future without hesitation.”
“Erica is just great! Very responsive, responsible, and has her home set up in a way that any dog would enjoy. My dog is always exhausted when she comes home. :) She is my go-to sitter, hands down.”
“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.”
“Laila was superb - close-by and flexible with our pickup/dropoff timing. She was very caring with our pup and we loved receiving so many adorable updates. Will book care with her again for sure.”
“My dog, a Aussiedoodle, requires lots of exercise and Angelique was up for it. As testimony, my dog has slept hard all morning. My dog is also very social with other dogs. I liked that Angelique boards multiple pets at the same time. I received daily pictures and updates. I don’t know who had more fun last week—my dog or me, and I was on a beach in Mexico!”

Cat caregivers near you - Arbor Heights
“Brynne took excellent care of our senior cat while we were on a week long vacation. She followed our care instructions perfectly and provided detailed notes for each visit. There were times during our trip when we had limited access to cell service and Brynne was patient, reliable and responsive. We would definitely rebook her for cat sitting and drop-in visits.”
“My senior cats loved Yimi. She is gentle and sweet, so they felt very comfortable with her. She is a good communicator and sent lots of photos. we will definitely be using her again!!”
“Joy lives up to her name! She is easy to work with, great at communicating and following directions, and my kitty loves her! Joy did an excellent job! I have felt very relaxed having her in charge while we were gone. I will be hiring her again for sure!!”
“Hunter was so great! He stayed at our house with our two cats and when we got home they greeted us so sweetly and seemed like they had done really well while we were gone. The house was tidy and cared for. We will book again! Thank you, Hunter!”
“DeAnna was wonderful to work with. She was prompt, communicative, and shared photos along with a quick daily update, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. She handled our automatic feeders and our slightly finicky cat door with ease, which we really appreciated. On top of that, she’s a genuinely lovely person. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch our two cats again and would highly recommend her to others.”
“Timothy always goes above and beyond for us, like bringing in our packages even though we didn't ask (thank you Timothy!!). Our cat Pepper loves him very much, which is saying something because she is a very shy girl. We always feel good leaving her in Timothy's care.”
“Holly always takes the best care of my cat. She went above and beyond this time, cleaning up kitty messes, checking in early to make sure he was doing ok in the heat, even watering plants and sweeping up before we came home! I couldn’t ask for a more reliable, caring sitter.”
“Chelsey was great, we felt comfortable leaving our two cats in her care while we were gone for a couple days. She sent the cutest pictures, will definitely book her again in the future!”
“Chis was amazing. We have a very sick kitten, and she was the most perfect caregiver to her while we were away. She was super organized, communicated well, and gave us very thoughtful updates. It was my first weekend away since our kitten being very ill. There isn’t anyone I could have trusted more. We are beyond grateful.”
About: I have been caring for a wide range of pets since I was 10 years old, growing up with dogs, cats, and Guinea pigs. As a kid I would frequently walk neighbors dogs and look after pets when my neighbors were away. My love for animals led me to volunteer at a veterinary hospital when I was 14, which turned into a job at 16. I have 8 years experience working with a local vet and 35 years experience as a pet caretaker and owner. Our family currently has our big boy, Bear. He is a calm and patient 8 year old 150lb silver lab with food allergies and other medical needs, so we have experience in administering oral, topical and injectable medications, as well as dealing with dietary restrictions. We look forward to caring for your dog! We are an active family, so multiple walks a day are standard. I work from home, so we are always around to give your doggo the love and care they deserve. Our home is situated in a quiet neighborhood on a dead end street close by multiple parks. We have a secure, fully fenced 3500 square foot backyard with access into the house through a dog door. Our dog is fed twice a day, but can accommodate any feeding/potty break schedule your dog has.
“Christina did an excellent job caring for our cats while we were away. She spent a good amount of time with them, playing and cuddling, and she took great pictures. She also took great care of our house - everything was just as we left it. She even took out the trash on trash day.”
“Law was fantastic taking care of my two cats! His communication was top notch. And the pix he sent while I was gone were greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend him for anyone with pets as he is thorough, kind and trustworthy.”
About: I know that each pet is an individual with unique needs, interests and temperaments and I will do my best to make sure they are happy and healthy in my care. Growing up I wanted a cat, but my parents preferred dogs. When I moved out I immediately got a cat, then two cats, then my sister moved in and brought her cat. Lots of cats! My beloved cats always had lots of love and cuddles, toys, treats, a kitty condo, and lots places to observe the world from a special spot. I look forward to getting to know your cat too!
“Francesca is amazing! She not only checked in on our baby but spent time helping her to learn commands! Cupcakke loves her and we will use her any time she is available! Highly recommend!”
“Jeremy was a great match for our big guy Bruce (90 lb Great Dane/American Bulldog mix with lots of energy). Bruce took to him instantly. Jeremy handled walking, feeding and playing. I'll be calling him again.”
About: Dogs teach us some important life lessons, like being in the moment and doing what makes our tails wag! I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and each one has been unique and amazing. Many people say dogs aren’t aware or are even “dumb”. I couldn’t disagree more, and I strive to listen to each dog and meet them from a place of respect. Engaging with a dog is a partnership that I adore. I had dogs growing up and at times as an adult (not right now). I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I enjoy snuggle time, play time, hiking, taking them swimming, and also letting them relax and do their own thing. I am a Reiki Master healer and work with humans and animals. I am also quite intuitive, which is helpful in understanding cues and meeting animals where they are. I’d love to care for your dog(s), and if house sitting will take incredible care of your home/plants/dogs. I am detail oriented, very respectful, and a wonderful communicator. I look forward to working with you and your pup(s)! I work from home Monday through Wednesday and at a retail location in West Seattle Friday through Sunday. I am up early in the morning about 6:00 AM, and am typically in bed by 10:00 PM. I’m generally around quite a bit aside from my retail job. I will not bring guests over while housesitting. I do not smoke. I do not currently offer pet sitting in my home. I can come to your home for all services and am comfortable with whatever setup you have. If you have a cat, I will need a cat and cat hair-free bedroom to sleep in due to allergies (which I can manage well in the home but just need an allergen-friendly bedroom).

Perfect for high energy dogs - Arbor Heights
“Maria is fantastic! Marky is hesitant when it comes to interacting with people and dogs when I am not with him but Maria showed him there was nothing to fear! They take beautiful walks together, naps with his friends, and gets to play all day in a pack. He comes home tired and happy when the day is done. Maria really loves all of the dogs like her own”
“Kirsten took great care of our dog! He came home happy and tired after a fun day of playing. She was also responsive and conscientious to make sure our dog was comfortable and matched up well with the other doggies at daycare that day.”
About: Welcome to Bud’s house 🐾 This is not a “drop your dog and hope for the best” situation — this is a play, cuddle, and feel-at-home experience. I helped build a dog daycare here in Seattle, so I’ve spent years learning how dogs actually behave—who wants to play, who needs a break, and how to make sure everyone stays safe and happy. At home, we keep that same vibe—but way more personal. Our dog Bud (2 years old) is the host. He’s friendly, playful, and great with other dogs—basically the guy who makes sure everyone feels welcome. If your dog likes to play, they’ll have a blast. If they prefer to chill, we’ve got cozy spots for that too. My wife (originally from Colombia 🇨🇴) has been around dogs her whole life and brings a ton of warmth and attention to every pup that walks through the door. What your dog gets: 🐾 Supervised play (no chaos, just good energy) 🐾 A safe, calm environment 🐾 Plenty of attention, affection, and breaks when needed 🐾 A new best friend in Bud We keep things small, intentional, and stress-free—so your dog isn’t just “watched”… they’re part of the pack. Dogs basically run our schedule 😊 We walk Bud three times a day, and since we’re home most of the day, there’s always someone around for playtime, snuggles, or a quick potty break. Your dog just joins right in. In our home, dogs are part of the daily routine—not just “watched.” We provide structured care with three walks a day, supervised play, and plenty of downtime when needed. We do have a partially fenced yard, but we don’t rely on it—dogs are always supervised outside and primarily get their exercise through regular walks. Because of my daycare background, I pay close attention to each dog’s personality—whether they want to play, relax, or have their own space—and make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable.
“Maria and Kalyan along with their fantastic pup were the best hosts for my 13 week old puppy's first time spending the day with another family and meeting a new dog for some much needed doggie socialization. They sent me many videos, messages, and pictures throughout the day for updates which also greatly assisted in putting my mind at ease, as it was very important for this initial introduction for my puppy to be a positive experience. Ziggy, my puppy, had so much fun and quickly made friends with their pup who provided lots of play, engagement, and excellent role modeling of great doggie behaviors for Ziggy. Highly recommend, they are the best!”
“Jerry was thoughtful, communicative and did a great job caring for my dog! My dog is an escape artist and I felt comfortable leaving her in his care because he has a secure backyard, a double gate system by the front door, and was diligent about keeping her safe.”
“I’m so thankful that Richard could welcome pickles into his home on short notice. I received lots of photos and updates and she had a great time! Thanks so much for the great puppy sitting play date.”
“My border collie mix (high energy!!) had such a great time at Eric's and I'm so thankful he was able to have a space to play and hang out during the day while I was away. Thank you Eric!”
“We did a couple days of day-care and wow my dog LOVED Katherine - he could barely hold his excitement to return the second day. It says a lot when your dog settles in so quickly, he had a great time and got lots of exercise with Katherine. Will definitely be hoping for more care in the future!”
“I am so happy I found Elle for my senior Shih Tzu. If you don’t feel comfortable leaving your dog with just anyone, you will feel good with Elle. This was my first experience with Rover and I was only going to choose someone with the highest reviews, standards and environment, all of which Elle has. She is very communicative and loving with the dogs (so is her husband!) and takes sweet pictures with updates. Great for senior dogs!”
“Pinar is the BEST sitter I’ve had ever. She is super communicative, responsive and leaves the best Rover cards with updates on potty breaks and walks. By the second day Green Bean ran to her, which he usually only does that to me and his ‘auntie’.”
“Clarissa and Yasiel took great care of Pickles! He's had some separation anxiety lately but he settled in just fine. They kept me updated throughout the day and sent cute photos. We will rebook!”
“Ann and Thai took great care of my dog. We did a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure it was a good fit for both them and the needs of my senior dog. They sent updates during her time there. I will definitely reach out to them in the future!”
About: Kona is our first dog but we’ve loved dogs our entire life. We live a very active lifestyle with lots of walks/hikes. He would also love to have other friends to play with! Hi! I’m a full-time student who loves dogs. I offer dog walking, and overnight stays which include feeding, walks and playtime. My boyfriend works from home, which allow us a lot of flexibility to care for your pups! Available weekdays and weekends. Will also send updates and photos for peace of mind We have a fenced in yard with a friendly playful dog to keep your pup company! We also have a lot of space inside our home
“Such a wonderful feeling when you finally found a great sitter for your pup! Zoie has never been this happy being away from me! It only goes to show that Daisha and Tam did a fabulous job of caring for and treating my pup like their own. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommended.”
“Alejandra and Raul were so good with our pup!! Rango loved it there and they were very interactive with him and his energy level :) super good communication with us as well! Will definitely keep them in mind for the future”
About: Our family had a wonderful lab - Mabel Mae - for 13 years. We miss her dearly. We cherish dogs (and pets broadly) and want to help ensure peace of mind for families when they need dog care. Each dog is treated like a family member in our house. We would be honored to help provide a service for pet families. We currently have one parent that is part of hybrid work - in the office 3 days/week - and another parent who is currently out of work. Given our schedules, we will be home with your dog throughout the time they spend with us. We have a fenced-in back yard. Most importantly, we have a love of all dogs and a family that cherishes the opportunity to spend time with lovely pups. The dogs are welcome in any room and on furniture in our home.

“Deanna was wonderful! She showed up on time and was incredibly patient with my 14-year-old Australian Shepherd. It’s clear she truly loves animals and has a calm, caring presence. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Law does really well with our sometimes aggressive and difficult to walk dog. He walks the dog and the dog really respects his command. Great energy! We work with him weekly and it’s always been good.”
About: Cat mom of two who truly loves what I do! I treat every pet like my own—getting to know their personality, habits, and what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m reliable, patient, and especially gentle with shy or special-needs pets. Your furry friend will be in loving, trustworthy hands! I have a flexible routine that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s feedings, walks, check-ins, or overnight stays, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

“They are fantastic! They are dependable and will take good care of your pet. While on vacation, the daily reports and pictures brought a smile to our faces. Thank you!”
“Tim has been really great with my dogs. They get so excited to see him when he arrives. Its been a great help as I recover from an injury to know they are in good hands with their afternoon walk. He has also been very flexible with the schedule and adjusted a walk time as my schedule changed. My dogs are 90 and 70 lbs and he has had no issues with them.”
“Joy has been great! She has been consistent, dependable, considerate and our dog loves her! He always comes back super excited but exhausted - its hard to exhaust a 2yr old lab so credit to her!”
“Kirsten is wonderful! Extremely knowledgeable about animals and a joy to arrange our walk with. You can tell she loves animals and will treat yours like they are her own!”
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. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take the time to get familiar with their personality, routines, and specific needs before our time together begins. From ensuring their safety during walks to creating a calm and comfortable atmosphere at home, I’m committed to providing attentive care. 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.
“Skippy has been great with my 90lb hound, Sydney! He walks her once a week and is consistent and reliable. I know she’s safe and happy when she’s out walking with Skippy!”
“Carrianne was amazing! Very accommodating to an address mix up which I greatly appreciated and overall I think Aspen enjoyed himself very much. He came back with most of his energy out and he was ready for bed. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“Pam was a dream for our first Rover experience. I'd just adopted Coco and was a little nervous leaving her with someone new, but Pam put me completely at ease. The photos she sent were ridiculously cute, and you could just tell Coco was having the best time, I think she was smiling in one of the pics. Would 100% recommend her to anyone, especially if you've got a nervous new pup.”
About: I love pets and recognize each pet is an individual with unique needs, behaviors, temperaments and interests. I have always had pets including many dogs and cats throughout my life. I have also had guinea pigs, gerbils/hamster's, fish and even a rat! Throughout my life I have studied animal behavior too. I have taken many dog training classes and even pet first aid. My schedule is flexible and I am reliable, organized, and tidy. I also know a lot about greener living because I am an environmental educator. My schedule is flexible and I am available most days including weekends and evenings. I have a lot of time to care for your pets including walks, feeding, activities and lots of pets and lots of love. I have 25+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats and smaller pets too (rabbits, gerbils, and fish). I have lots of experience walking dogs in our local neighborhoods and parks. Your pets safety is my #1 concern and a close second is making sure they are happy and getting the love, attention and exercise they need while in my care.

About: Thank you for viewing my profile. Please read it in its entirety before sending a boarding request, as a lot of your questions can be answered in the text. The two questions i get the most are am I home all day with the dogs and how many dogs do you watch at one time? I am retired so except for running errands, etc, your dog(s) will be supervised at all times.I DO watch dogs from different households at the same time, having had as many as 8 Rover dogs at once If this is a concern I invite you to come down and meet us, to see how mellow and manageable it is, and how happy the dogs are to be in the company of other dogs. I never watch a dog without meeting it first so this ensures that everyone gets along and it's a good fit. My mom runs a no-kill animal shelter in Florida so I guess you could say it's in my blood. I currently have 2 dogs (the last dog i adopted was from an elderly Rover client who could no longer take care of him) but i've had as many as 4 at one time. Always small dogs, which is what I'm most comfortable with. I've adopted, loved and cared for dogs through all their stages of life, in "sickness and in health", so I'm quite aware of the quirkiness that comes with a dog that has a history. At the moment I’m not boarding puppies because my older dogs can’t handle all the high energy of the youngsters. Nothing brings me more joy than watching these little dogs come out of their shell during the stay. Their tail going from tucked, unsure, "what am I doing here", to full wag! Many owners have told me that when they get to the top of my hill their dog starts getting excited, they know they're coming to my house and they are happy about it. They march right up my steps with zero hesitation. They might not sleep with us on day one, but they almost always find their way into the bed by the time they leave. My goal is to have them feel like one of the pack, loved and secure, safe and happy. I recently retired after 40+ years in the hospitality industry so I will be home with your dog(s) day and night. There's nothing i love more than being in the company of dogs, so watching them is my passion. I will treat your dog(s) like my own. I live in the Arroyo's, a private beach neighborhood in Arbor Heights, West Seattle. I have a gate on the front door so the dogs can't run out if the door opens, though there's hardly any traffic where I live. I have a fully fenced in backyard, perfect for potty breaks and sunbathing. Your dog will never be left unattended in the yard .Inside I have dog beds throughout the house that move with the sunspot. I have cameras to watch the dogs when i'm not home (spoiler alert, they sleep), and WE HAVE AC!
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and can’t imagine life without them. I’ve cared for my own cat through the end of his sickness and regularly helped my neighbor’s chronically ill cat by giving her medication while they were away. I also grew up with dogs, including my family’s very attention-loving pup. I loved taking him on long walks, training him with treats, and playing with him at his favorite spot—the beach. Since my family pets are no longer here, I’ve been able to fulfill my love for animals through Rover, and I am happy to spread some of that love to your pets! I’m at home for most or all of the week, besides having to run errands here and there. Because of this, I have plenty of time and flexibility to provide the attention your pet needs. :) I will abide by the rules of your household and make sure your pet is safe and in my company always, if necessary. During walks, I will make sure they are on leash and cleaned up after! At your house, I will feed them whenever their meal times are and give them the attention they want and love. I will also always keep an eye on them to make sure they behave, and tell them "no" when necessary!
About: We have both grown up with dogs in the family, and we have had one of our own for 11 years now! Armstrong is our whole world, and we totally understand how pets are family. We will do our absolute best to love and care for your companion while you are away, whether that's long walks, playing fetch in the yard or having some dedicated tummy scratch time! We have flexible work days that can allow us to visit your pet whenever is best. We have flexible work days, so we can spend lots of quality time with your pet throughout the day. On weekends, we love to do doggy-centric stuff, like long walks or a trip to the dog park! We'll make sure your companion has all the food, treats, water and love that they need! We are able to administer medicine, and can set up their space in a soothing way before we part with them.
About: Raised on a farm with lots of pets, and puppies. I love dogs, and all animals. I know how to be patient and kind to creatures big and small. I spent most of my formative years caring for animals, and our family dogs were constant and faithful companions. And now, as a mother of three young people, I am in the business of nurturing, loving, and guiding. I'm a calm, and patient mom, but love activities and chasing around my three boys! My own doggie, Butter is my faithful pal. She follows me room to room, always happy to be near. She brings joy to everyone in our family!! I am a homeschooling mom to three sweet boys, and my schedule is very flexible! I’m available most weekdays with varying times throughout the day. I have a loving, calm, and nurturing nature. I love animals, and dogs, and understand that each pet is a valued member of someone’s family!
About: I’ve always felt comfortable and at ease caring for animals. Being away from my family’s dogs is honestly what led me to pet sitting. I treat every pet like they’re my own and take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have plenty of flexibility and time throughout the day to spend with your dogs or cats, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company. I care for pets as if they were my own and always follow the owner’s instructions closely. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are in a safe, calm environment with plenty of attention, fresh water, and regular potty breaks. I keep doors and gates secured, avoid unfamiliar dogs or situations unless approved, and monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners feel comfortable while they’re away.
About: CPR certified, reliable transportation, and patient. I love all pets and have owned cats, dogs( chihuahuas, aissues, pitties) and fish. I’m excited to meet and care for your furry family!! I am a full time graduate student studying from home. I love to run in the mornings and hike on the weekends as well as paddleboarding. I’m often home due to studying demands.

“Maria and Kalyan continue to be our go-to Rover for our dog, Feliks. We know Feliks is in the best care when he’s with them, which allows us to truly enjoy being out of town without worry. Feliks also loves getting to spend time with his friend Nikko! 😊”
“Kirsten is the absolute best. She was very thorough when we first met to understand if our dog had any special requests she needed to accommodate. When dropping our dog, Riley, at her house she gave a tour to show where the dogs were allowed which was very reassuring. Kirsten sent daily updates from their walks and time at the park. I without a doubt leave our dog with Kirsten again and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone.”
“Jeremy was great with our pup. Our dog is often anxious with new people/spaces, but Jeremy and his dogs seemed to put ours at ease. Jeremy was also extremely friendly and a great communicator. Thanks Jeremy!”
“I highly recommend Molly for dog sitting in her home. She did everything possible to ensure my anxious Chihuahua was happy and comfortable. He ended up having a great time! We will definitely book with her again.”
“Joe was wonderful with our pitbull and shih tzu! He was thoughtful, communicative, and attentive both before and during their care. He gave them plenty of walks, made sure they were comfortable, and kept us updated with pictures and messages. Joe was also very flexible and accommodating, which gave us great peace of mind. We would absolutely book with him again!”
“Greg was a phenomenal sitter to my best friend! He sent daily updates, pictures, and clearly devoted a lot of 1 on 1 time with my dog throughout his stay. He was quick to communicate and my dog fell in love with him immediately. I would highly recommend Greg and will absolutely request him in the future without hesitation.”
“Erica is just great! Very responsive, responsible, and has her home set up in a way that any dog would enjoy. My dog is always exhausted when she comes home. :) She is my go-to sitter, hands down.”
“My dog, a Aussiedoodle, requires lots of exercise and Angelique was up for it. As testimony, my dog has slept hard all morning. My dog is also very social with other dogs. I liked that Angelique boards multiple pets at the same time. I received daily pictures and updates. I don’t know who had more fun last week—my dog or me, and I was on a beach in Mexico!”
“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.”
“Meredith is super sweet! Her and her dog Edgar made sure my dog Scrappy was comfortable. My baby had a blast playing with Edgar and cuddling with Meredith! She is a great communicator and would send me pictures! I will definitely be leaving scrappy with them again!”
“Ashley took awesome care of and provided a calm, happy environment for my animal-reactive senior pittie while also rolling with my dog's developing medical/prescription needs in the leadup to her stay. Lots of updates and snuggle photos let me know my girl was well loved while I was gone for the week. Very grateful for such quality care and will definitely be reaching out for future boarding needs!”
“This was our pup's first stay with Elle. We had a day visit and a single night stay prior to leaving him for 10-days. He had initially been a bit anxious going to a new place but by the time I dropped him off for the longer stay, he was SO excited to be back! He's a very sociable dog and I appreciated Elle's observant, caring approach to addressing his excitability. In the daily updates and photos, it was great to see how well he was being cared for and loved as part of a family (he even got his own holiday stocking!). Our pup will definitely be visiting with Elle again.”
“Jennie was very welcoming, warm, friendly and attentive to our dog on this first-time boarding with her. Jennie’s home is spacious, clean, well planned for hosting pets, and has a good-size yard that is safe for pets. Our dog seemed to feel comfortable with Jennie and her space right away, and seems to have had a great stay. Jennie is a great communicator, she kept us up to date and shared pictures with us throughout our dog’s stay. We and our dog look forward to the next time that we may be able to utilize Jenni’s services and highly recommend her to others.”
“Our dog was well taken care of while we were away and came back to us happy and tired. Aaron and his partner were very kind and communicative. Would definitely book again!”
“Steve was great! We needed a last minute sitter and Steve was super flexible with us! He was very careful and receptive to Oliver’s needs regarding interactions with other dogs which can sometimes be overwhelming. His backyard is a huge added plus! Oliver seemed to have a great time staying with Steve for a night and I would definitely book with him again!”
“Ann and Thai were great hosts. We completed a meet and greet before Ryder stayed with them for 6 days. During his stay, we received photos and updates everyday. They had great communication, and we will definitely use them again!”
“Leio and Leah and their family were amazing! They poured so much attention and affection to our dog and it's clear he loved every minute of it. They were communicative and provided great photos during our trip which we really loved as well. Would definitely return to for future sittings!”
“Burrito loves going to Matt’s, and we love seeing his photos from Matt. Matt was very accommodating, and we had very good communication regard pick up and drop off. We had to pick up Burrito unexpectedly late, and he still let us instead of charging for one more day. High recommended especially if your dogs love to play! Plenty of doggy play time at Matt’s!”
