“Maria is the absolute best! This is our second visit. Our pooch, Theodore is so welcome and loved at Maria’s senior center for small dogs. She is so caring and compassionate. Dogs are lucky to be able to stay at Maria’s. Looking forward to having him back soon.”
“Maria & Kalyan (& Nikko) took such great care of Pongo! This was my first time boarding my dog so I was a bit nervous leaving my dog’s care in someone else’s hands for the first time. Now I’ve found the perfect place to take my pup when I need him to be taken care of while I’m away! They sent plenty of updates and pictures and videos each day to ease my worries. It was very comforting and I loved seeing how Pongo was doing. They asked all the right questions beforehand and made sure Pongo’s needs were met. Nikko and Pongo were such a good match for high energy and loved playing together. Maria and Kalyan went above and beyond my expectations taking Pongo on adventures and long walks and making new puppy friends! I can tell Pongo was treated very well and his mind was even exercised. He was a happy boy when I picked him up and he went straight to sleep when I took him home. Definitely recommend and will be back in the future!!”
“Kirsten does an amazing job! I was apprehensive about leaving my dog Piper with someone I didn’t know since we just moved here but Kirsten made both of us feel very comfortable! She provided updates throughout the trip and piper had so much fun! I’m sure Piper is excited for her next stay!”
“What a staycation for our dog, Levi! Richard sent me pictures two to three times a day. And best part, when we got Levi home he was happy and satisfied. Fun, exercise, care and love. Thank you!”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“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.”
“Kimiko was the best dog sitter we have ever had for our dog. She sent lots of updates with both text and photos. Our dog clearly had a great time! We will definitely hire her again.”
“Daisha and her husband are kind and welcoming! I knew my dogs were safe and comfortable. It was so helpful to have them stay with her. I loved the picture updates. I would highly recommend Daisha to friends and family who need a great home for their dogs to receive excellent care.”
“Jeremy was incredible with our two babies. He went above and beyond to make sure they felt welcomed, loved and comfortable while we were out of town. He took them for fun daily adventures, and when we returned they almost didn’t want to leave with us. It was clear they had the best time! 1000% recommend; and will definitely be using again! Thanks Jeremy!”
“Molly was great! We got plenty of updates and pictures throughout the day. One of our boys is slow to warm up and can be grumbly/barky with new people and she was very patient with him and both dogs seemed to have a great time!”
“Martha was so great with Simon.This was Simon's first time with a sitter and he is a rescue pandemic puppy. She sent us lots of photos and kept us updated throughout his stay. Already booked Simon's next stay with Martha!”
“Gregg was wonderful at caring for our dog Koda over the weekend! He was easy to communicate with prior to Koda's stay -- we set up a meet-and-greet to make sure they were a good fit, and he took notes to make sure he understood Koda's needs and quirks. During her weekend at his home, he sent great photos and updates to show they were both enjoying each others' company. Koda seemed really happy and well cared-for, and we would look forward to having Gregg watch Koda again in the future. Thanks so much!”
“Tamar is an awesome sitter for our dogs and they always have a great time while staying with her. She is great at communicating and was very accommodating for drop off and pick up. Also the location is super convenient for the airport!”
“My dogs had such a good time...they didn't want to leave 😄. The way my fur babies became part of the family was FANTASTIC. They were given sooo much love and attention and got to play with the other fur babies inside and out. We can't wait to come back 💜🐕💜”
“Brenda is awesome. She gave our two pups the BEST weekend while we were gone. Brenda goes above and beyond, and we will 1,000% be calling her again. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Brenda!!”
“Our pup loved staying over with Francesca for a few days and we equally loved her watching our pup. Francesca was great sending daily updates with photos and videos of how our pup was adjusting to a new environment. From start to finish her communication was excellent and our pup is already hoping for another slumber party with Francesca!”
“Morris and Bryan were great! We could tell our dog loved being around them and she was very well cared for! They are extremely communicative and great with dogs!!”
“Kevin and his partner took great care of our dog, Ozzy. We got nice pics everyday, so we could see how he was doing. They took Ozzy on walks, and the communication was excellent. The whole process was smooth and easy. I highly recommend Kevin.”

“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!”
“Christina really helped me out of a jam when I thought I had a cat sitter booked, but didn't. But that's not the only reason that I would hire her again: she's super sweet, easy going and our special needs kitty took to her immediately. She offered to strip the bed, run the dishwasher, washed Wobbles pee pads and made sure she used her pee-pen before she left for the day. Everything a special needs fur-mama needs from a cat sitter. Four paws up!”
“Brennyn took great care of the menagerie, finding new ways to engage and play with the cats, and giving our chickens plenty of quality time out in the yard. Exemplary pet sitting. Communicative, detail oriented and thoughtful. Highly recommended.”
“Chris is amazing and we highly recommend her. She came by for a meet and greet, along with multiple drop-ins over 4 days. She’s reliable and wonderfully communicative towards us. More importantly, she took great care with our cats and was able to keep our most anxious one at ease. We would love for Chris to cat sit for us again!”
“Pinar took great care of our cat! She clearly loves animals and got along fantastically with our kitty. She is prompt and reliable, and sent lots of photos with a detailed play by play of each visit.”
“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!”
“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).
“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.”
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 30 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.
“Tim has been fantastic with Sofie! He’s great at communicating and sending updates during his drop‑ins. The photos he sends of her looking calm and happy show how much she enjoys spending time with him.”
“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!
“Francheska was proacative to set up a meet and greet. She was punctual on the day of service and took lots of photos while caring for my pet. I would recommend her in the future and will reach out next time I need help!”
“Chelsey was great to work with and Delia seemed to really build trust with her during the visits (our first with her). She was very communicative and professional. Everything was great when I returned and I feel very confident in Chelsey and her care, and will book again.”
“Carrianne was very attentive and left detailed descriptions of every visit and her observations of the cats. Very happy with service and would absolutely book her again.”

“Maria is amazing!! Our pups got to spend the day going for walks and enjoying the company of other dogs in thr comfort of Maria's home! I think one of our dogs actually got mad that she had to leave 😉”
“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.”
“Csenka took excellent care of our puppy for daycare, with regular updates including photos and checking in for any questions on caring for her. We’ll certainly be back!!”
“Maria & Kalyan are so sweet and incredibly accommodating. They are great with my pup and make me feel very at ease when I’m working long hours. My dog is having very structured playtime with them, going to parks, playing fetch, wrestling with their pup without the dogs getting too wild. They send updates throughout the day, I love being comfortable with who my pup is with and trust them completely. Caine loves going over to them, and I love knowing my dog is well taken care of with a couple who will treat your dog like their own. Can’t wait to use them every other week when I work! Thanks guys!!”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8, from newborn puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I love playing fetch, cuddling on the couch for quiet time as well as running around together in the terraced backyard. If you’re looking for a mini summer camp for your pup, no matter their size or age, you’ve found the right place! I work from home as an artist with 2 small dogs that love meeting new friends! I’m home Monday- Friday and several weekends each month. I also have a separate living room for your cat where it will have the run of the place without other pets. I don’t have children, I have dogs. They sleep in the bedroom and I take them everywhere; camping, roadtrips, and I’ve even taken them abroad with me for vacation!
“Leo had a great time at Eric’s house for daycare! Eric was very easy to communicate with, gave Leo lots of exercise, and provided updates throughout the day. Thank you Eric!”
“Rachel is kind, patient, and flexible. Evie has had such a wonderful time playing at her house with Jane. She came home tired and happy and I was so happy to have some pet help for a couple of weeks. Thank you, Rachel and Jane!”
“Ann took great care of Blue, and sent so many photos which I very much appreciated, as a newer dog mom. She has a lot of experience with dogs, even dealing with medical issues. Blue has a heart condition, so this really put me at ease leaving him with her. This was his first time staying with someone else, and I feel great about having Ann take care of Blue for our longer trips!”
“Sol looooved his stay with Elle! She sent me pictures during his stay and walk which he clearly enjoyed. She asked good questions about his personality and needs before his stay to make sure he was was comfortable and happy under her care. I will definitely be using Elle again!”
“My dogs love going to Sean's for doggy daycare! They always come home happy and tired. I appreciate Sean's quick communication, fun photos, and responsible care of my precious boys.”
“My dog got a LOT of exercise with Becky and her dogs. Her yard is perfect for dogs who love to run and play. Becky was very kind, and seems very knowledgeable in caring for dogs. I was extremely comfortable leaving my baby in her care, and plan to have her watch her again while I’m on vacation.”
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.
“Our Lakeland Terrier, Missy, had a great day with Susan and Jack! And we were reassured that she was in a safe and caring home with Susan. We all look forward to her next visit.”
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.
“Eileen is super sweet, and I could tell Beemo was so loved during his stay! She was very communicative and sent photo updates. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
About: I love pups and pets and their unique personalities. I hope that I can help give you piece of mind that your pet is safe and taken care of while you are busy I’m currently working part time so have plenty of time to play with pups or cats and help show love to your pets while you are busy If at my home I take them for walks as needed to get energy out and use the restroom. Because I work part time I’m available for your pets most of the day

“My dog takes a while to warm up to new people and she warmed up to Joy really quickly. I was away at a day long workshop and misplaced my dog’s harness. Joy was great at improvising and keeping me updated. 10/10 would recommend having Joy take care of your baby!”
“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!”
“Pinar is the best dog walker we’ve ever had! Her recounts of the walk always have me laughing and her pictures from each walk so perfectly capture our dogs personality, and our dog loves her!”
“Brennyn demonstrated a high level of patience with Sir Wiggle Bottom during the initial stages. By the end of the week, Wiggles appeared enthusiastic about seeing Brennyn and going for walks. Brennyn provided us with an update, including a report card featuring charming photos of Wiggles enjoying himself. Thank you!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”

About: I have had pets my whole life-- everything from big dogs like golden retrievers or my current German shepherd mix, to cats, to birds, hamsters, and fish. I am here for whatever your pet needs! As a pet owner myself, I know what it's like to leave your pet with a stranger and hope that they understand and accommodate their quirks. I will take the time to get to know your pets and give them the type of care and environment that they're used to. I have lots of experience with big dogs, and can work with all kinds. I have worked with rescues, and am experienced with different types of anxiety and reactivity. I am very attuned to the signals that dogs give when they are feeling anxious or activated and can quickly take action to deescalate, distract, or soothe. I have experience administering medicine, both through pills and oral syringes. I'm active and will love to take your dog for long walks, play in the hard, or find other creative ways to work off their energy! I look forward to meeting you and your furry children! p.s. you can call me Francesca, or what I usually go by, Csenka! I am currently not working, so I'm home 7 days a week, and can direct all my attention to your pet! I can offer frequent potty breaks, long walks, and any type of care your pet may need. My house has a fully fenced backyard that's perfect for fetch, playtime, and simple potty breaks. When I'm at your home, I will treat it as my own, and leave it as I found it, if not better! I know how frustrating it is to come home after a trip and feel like you need to clean the whole house before you can relax-- I will make sure that never happens!
“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: 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: 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.

“Jennifer is so great with Fifi! In just a few weeks my girl has gotten super comfortable on their walks and I love how Jennifer is always helping Fifi on her walking manners and behavior. So happy to be part of Jennifer and Anna’s K9 crew.”

“Brandee was so wonderful with my senior dog. We met before the walks started and she approached my dog with such care. Understanding my pup likes to exercise her nose more than her legs, Brandee tailored the walk to ensure my dog used the bathroom and caught up on the smells of the neighborhood. Brandee is highly recommended for daily walks!”
About: Hello! I’ve been taking care of dogs almost my entire life. I have tremendous love and compassion for pets and am incredibly reliable. When your pet is with me, I want to ensure that you feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands <3 I’m currently working full time but come home pretty early from work and will be available most evenings. I don’t have many activities during the week. I have a fenced backyard and live near a park. I have a 2 year old pit-mix named Canela and she loves to play with other dogs. I will walk them together before they meet each other to ensure they’re both comfortable.
About: I've loved and cared for dogs for 20+ years — and it's the senior and high-needs ones that have shaped me most as a caretaker. I've worked professionally as a dog walker and sitter, volunteered on a farm tending to sheep, pigs, and cows, and have logged years of animal care across a wide variety of contexts. My focus and true passion is senior and high-needs dogs. I currently care for Momo, my 11-year-old mini poodle rescue, who requires daily medication, mobility support, and consistent patience with separation anxiety rooted in past trauma. I'm fully comfortable managing medication schedules, specialized diets, and the kind of attentive, adaptive care that older or more complex dogs require. I also guided my previous dog, an Old English Sheepdog, through her full senior journey — including dementia-informed reactivity, significant mobility challenges, and all the nuanced day-to-day care that came with loving a big dog through her final chapter. I share my home with two poodles: Momo, and Stormy — a big, friendly 7-year-old standard who loves meeting new dogs and is equally happy to give them space if that's what they need. Stormy splits his time between my home and family nearby, so his presence varies by stay. I now work from home in a different field, and pet care is my way of staying connected to the animals I love. Your dog gets calm, present, unhurried attention from someone who is genuinely home — and genuinely invested. Senior dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs who need a little extra are especially welcome here! I work from home the majority of the week, so I'm present and available throughout most days. I'm typically in office one to two days a week — usually Wednesdays and/or Thursdays — for roughly 8 hours. Outside of those days, I'm home and attentive during business hours and fully available on evenings and weekends. I have a fully fenced yard, a one-story layout with no stairs to navigate — especially important for senior or mobility-limited dogs — and gate separation available so visiting dogs can be in the mix while still having their own space. Crates are available if needed. I keep pet cameras throughout the home so I can monitor remotely on the rare occasion I'm out. All dogs have dedicated feeding stations and I'm happy to accommodate varying meal times and dietary needs. Animal CPR documentation is posted in the home, an emergency vet is less than a mile away, and I have reliable transportation should anything come up.

“Maria & Kalyan (& Nikko) took such great care of Pongo! This was my first time boarding my dog so I was a bit nervous leaving my dog’s care in someone else’s hands for the first time. Now I’ve found the perfect place to take my pup when I need him to be taken care of while I’m away! They sent plenty of updates and pictures and videos each day to ease my worries. It was very comforting and I loved seeing how Pongo was doing. They asked all the right questions beforehand and made sure Pongo’s needs were met. Nikko and Pongo were such a good match for high energy and loved playing together. Maria and Kalyan went above and beyond my expectations taking Pongo on adventures and long walks and making new puppy friends! I can tell Pongo was treated very well and his mind was even exercised. He was a happy boy when I picked him up and he went straight to sleep when I took him home. Definitely recommend and will be back in the future!!”
“Kirsten does an amazing job! I was apprehensive about leaving my dog Piper with someone I didn’t know since we just moved here but Kirsten made both of us feel very comfortable! She provided updates throughout the trip and piper had so much fun! I’m sure Piper is excited for her next stay!”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“Jeremy was incredible with our two babies. He went above and beyond to make sure they felt welcomed, loved and comfortable while we were out of town. He took them for fun daily adventures, and when we returned they almost didn’t want to leave with us. It was clear they had the best time! 1000% recommend; and will definitely be using again! Thanks Jeremy!”
“Molly was great! We got plenty of updates and pictures throughout the day. One of our boys is slow to warm up and can be grumbly/barky with new people and she was very patient with him and both dogs seemed to have a great time!”
“Gregg was wonderful at caring for our dog Koda over the weekend! He was easy to communicate with prior to Koda's stay -- we set up a meet-and-greet to make sure they were a good fit, and he took notes to make sure he understood Koda's needs and quirks. During her weekend at his home, he sent great photos and updates to show they were both enjoying each others' company. Koda seemed really happy and well cared-for, and we would look forward to having Gregg watch Koda again in the future. Thanks so much!”
“Tamar is an awesome sitter for our dogs and they always have a great time while staying with her. She is great at communicating and was very accommodating for drop off and pick up. Also the location is super convenient for the airport!”
“My dogs had such a good time...they didn't want to leave 😄. The way my fur babies became part of the family was FANTASTIC. They were given sooo much love and attention and got to play with the other fur babies inside and out. We can't wait to come back 💜🐕💜”
“Ashley was awesome! I had major oral surgery and needed him cared for so I could heal without having to worry about my dogs care and she took such good care of my migi and sent me lots of updates and photos in the 6 nights she had him. She was very accommodating as well when we needed to change or do things differently in migi’s favor. Will def book her again in the future! Highly recommend 10/10.”
“Ale and Raul did a fantastic job with our pup. They watched her over the 4th of July which is the worst day of the year for her as she gets very anxious. Ale and Raul kept me up to date on her progress and did everything they could to keep her calm and feeling safe. I recommend them with 5 stars!”
“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!”
About: My 3.5 y/o corgi, Kiko, would tell you I love all dogs, almost too much. For the last 13+ years, I’ve been fortunate enough to be responsible for at least 1, and most of the time 2 dogs of my own. While I have no formal training or certifications , I’m great with puppies still learning a routine, senior dogs who need a strict routine and everyone in between. I’m a very calm human so even nervous dogs are comfortable with me. I currently work from home, so I’m really good for dogs who require a little extra attention or struggle being left alone for long periods. I have a spacious two bedroom apartment with one flight of stairs and a nice balcony/patio for bird watching and sun bathing. When Kiko is here, we go on at least 3 walks a day, weather permitting, and make regular trips to various dog parks to see his friends throughout the week. When he’s not, we’ll still walk a lot but maybe fewer dog park visits unless that’s your dog’s thing too. If the cheapest sitter you can find is what you’re looking for, I’m not your person. However, under my watch, your dog will be safe, extremely well cared for, and loved like they are my own. Your dog will get the same care if I’m at your place and I share custody of Kiko, so his presence is not always guaranteed.
“Elle and fam were wonderful, they kept me updated on their goings-on with texts and photos, and she’s got a sense of humor in her captions! I was relieved to know that they were very familiar with elder dog care and had two cutie furbies of their own. My eldest dog hadn’t been displaying much of an appetite when I returned from my last trip during which they stayed at a kennel, this time he had increased his daily intake to nearly pre-kennel levels while in their care. My dogs showed no signs of distress and my lab made himself at home as soon as we walked through their front door. I highly recommend them to anyone regardless of your dog breed or age. Plus, you can’t beat the attention provided by someone who works from home. It was an all around excellent fit!”
“We are so thankful for Allanah watching our pup while we were out of town! This was our first time leaving our girl and Allanah was absolutely amazing. She communicated frequently and we appreciated all of the pictures and videos of our pup playing and enjoying her stay. We knew our pup was in good hands and we look forward to reaching out again if we need a sitter. Thank you, Allanah for boarding Billie Jean!”
“My pup had the best stay over with Matt! He also sent a ton of pictures, it was so great to see my pup having such a great time! I highly recommend Matt and definitely will use him again in the near future! ?”
“Amazing experience with Tomas. He was super communicative, thorough, and sent us tons of pictures. Incredibly nice and thoughtful guy who clearly loves animals and is educated on how to properly care for them. Our dog Goose came home in amazing spirits before plopping on the couch and snoring the night away. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Pongo had a great weekend with Pamela. He was well taken care of and seemed to be very happy throughout his stay. Pamela provided daily photos and videos to keep me updated. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking to give your dog a stay full of love and affection.”
