Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ballard
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ballard
“Vadzim was an angel dealing with our very finicky elder dog who experienced from separation anxiety. He really went above and beyond to understand him and provided very reliable frequent updates every day which showed the progress and how much our dog was able to relax with him. We’re incredibly grateful!”
“Maria is amazing!! Our pup can be a little nervous in new environments and Maria went out of her way to make sure she was comfortable and getting lots of time outside!! We got tons of updates and photos and I felt so confident that my girl was being well taken care of! I will certainly use Maria’s services again!!”
“Jessica was the perfect pup sitter for our little Carl! We received frequent updates and beautiful photos each day. Communication was quick, clear and timely, and pickup and drop off was super easy. We were so happy knowing Carl was having such a relaxing and enjoyable time with Jessica and we would highly recommend!”
“Megan took great care of Tiny! She was attentive, sent great updates (loved the videos of her playing!), and had no issue distributing her eye ointment. Her two doggos are sweetie pies - I highly recommend Megan and will be using her again in the future! Thank you for taking such great care of my special girl 💓”
“Devan was excellent with Pepper, and was extremely meticulous in his communication. We received constant text and photo updates during his stay and that’s one of the most important qualities when caring for a pet.”
“Sofia was amazing and super communicative! She loved on my dog so much and made me feel super comfortable leaving her for a long trip abroad. Plus, my dog and her dog got along great as well! She was always sending photos and providing updates when needed. Will be booking again with Sofia for sure!”
“Michael was an amazing sitter for my dog and communicator for me!! We had a last minute schedule change and were traveling to Seattle unexpectedly. Michael was so helpful and accommodating to make this work with less notice than usual! He was prompt and communicative sending me pictures of Sox updates along the way. His dog Ellie was very chill and seemed to get along with Sox great. I definitely would (and will!) work with Michael again!”
“Great sitter! Very accommodating and attentive to my dog, asking lots of questions and giving updates throughout his stay. He looked super relaxed and comfy with them in his update pics. Would definitely book again!”
“My dog did wonderfully with Eric!! He sent consistent pictures and was super communicative about how my dog was doing. He was great with my quirky goofball and we're planning on coming back!! ☺️”
“Tianci took good care of Bagel! I enjoyed the shared Google photo album very much as they walked Bagel around the city and kindly also took him to the treat store.”
“Joey had the most wonderful stay with Debra! She was so kind and sweet, and understood Joey’s needs as a senior citizen pup. As he’s an old pup his legs are a bit weak; Debra went the extra mile to set up a carpet path and extra bedding to make sure he was comfortable and could walk around. She sent consistent updates and lots of photos. Truly made Joey feel welcome and was the best experience we could have ever had!”
“Cheryl is awesome! She loves pups. Took our 2 pups on lots of walks and sent many pics / updates about the dogs days. When we got back the pups were already exhausted.”
“This was my first time boarding Nico with Ana. Our meet and greet went very well. Ana is kind, friendly, and asked plenty of questions about Nico’s needs and preferences. I left feeling very comfortable moving forward with the booking. Nico was so well cared for while staying with Ana. Not only does she care deeply for animals, she understands how it must feel to leave your pet with someone else. She was very quick to reply to any messages and sent lots of updates and photos while we were away. Great communication and I would 100% recommend Ana as a fantastic pet sitter! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ll definitely have Nico stay with Ana again in the future.”
“Wonderful man! My dog loved him and had a great time. I was nervous leaving my dog with a rover sitter, but Philip kept me updated and sent me pics. I felt at peace knowing Stitch was with someone who truly cared about him.”
“Alexa was a fantastic care taker to my two border collies. I got frequent pictures and videos and it was clear my dogs settled in early! They were right at home. Alexa was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and I would absolutely use her again in the future. Your pets would be lucky to stay with her!”
“Brenda was super sweet and communicative throughout my pup’s weekend stay. I received several picture updates of Koda eating, cuddling, and going on walkies. Felt that my pup was in great care and would book again!”

Cat caregivers near you - Ballard
“Simran did great with our two cats when we needed last minute help. One of our babies is shy and hides from nearly everyone, but Simran was able to get acquainted very quickly. She gave them lots of love everyday. She also made sure to keep the kitty areas clean. We’ll definitely be booking again🙏”
“We are so incredibly grateful to have found August! We left our four cats in their care for a full week, and we were able to enjoy our vacation with complete peace of mind, knowing they were in such wonderful hands. August was professional, responsible, and so clearly a genuine animal lover. We received regular updates (and a few adorable photos!) that showed our cats were happy, relaxed, and getting plenty of attention. When we returned, the house was just as we left it, and all four of our cats were calm and happy—you can always tell! It's not easy finding someone you trust with your pets, especially with four of them, each with their own personality. August handled everything perfectly. We will absolutely be booking August for all our future trips. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our fur babies!”
“We have booked Ally multiple times now and she always does a great job! She gives great detailed updates and sends lots of pictures. Our cat gives her five stars too! We will definitely rebook in the future 😸”
“Sabrina is incredible! This was our first time working with her and we’ll definitely keep working with her for any future needs. She’s incredibly attentive, thorough and a complete sweetheart with our cats.”
“Krista was a fantastic pet sitter - very responsive and went far and beyond. Our kitty loved her and it was so lovely leaving town knowing that our kitty was well taken care of!”
“This was Paula's 2nd sit with my cat Phaedra. As before, communication was prompt, clear and friendly. She is proactive, responsible and used common sense and good judgement when little challenges came up that were not foreseen. Phaedra is diabetic and Paula monitored her appetite and managed her insulin injection appropriately. I trust her to keep Phae safe, treat her kindly and help enrich this blind/deaf kitty's life while I'm away.”
“Marcia was very friendly and great with our kitten. We were nervous to leave her alone for the first time, but Marcia sent lots of pictures and took a lot of our worry away. Will definitely be contacting her again in the future :)”
“From our first initial contact I could tell Conner was thorough, attentive, and caring. He asked great questions that a sitter had never asked before. We felt confident that is something terrible were to happen when we were gone, our cats would be in good hands. Our cats seemed to warm up to him quickly which is impressive for them. Conner was also very flexible and understanding about key drop off when our building had an unexpected issue.”
“Caroline was absolutely wonderful!! My cats loved her and my shyest kitty who had never come out for a sitter greeted her and let her pet him on day two! I felt so good about leaving them with her and will try to book her all chances possible!”
“I'm so grateful for Malaina! She was so patient with my shy kittens and took care of my demon cat. She was so flexible and visited my babies twice a day to try to match their usual routine. She really went above and beyond to help me out, keep me updated with pictures every day. What was really amazing was that she was able to gain the trust of my shy, shy kittens while I wasn't there and played with them daily. It was an amazing thing. I'll definitely re-book Malaina in the future!”
“Lou seemed perfectly content when we got home and we received photos of her enjoying churus and her toys. Chandler even unpacked our hello fresh box as it was delivered prior to our return, which is above & beyond and so appreciated!”
“Briana did a wonderful job taking care of our three kitties! Her communication was great, sending photos and detailed updates twice daily and contacted us promptly with questions or issues. She was thoughtful and asked great questions during the meet and greet, as well. It was our first time using Rover and it was a very positive experience!”
“Heather is hands down one of the most amazing humans, I could not be more pleased with the love and care she gave to my most precious fur baby, I am beyond impressed with the way she kept in constant contact by providing updates and photos, her thoughtfulness knows no bounds, I am so grateful for Heather and look forward to working with her again and again!!!”
“Carissa was such a joy to work with! She gave my cat so much love as if he were her own. It gave me so much peace of mind and I felt that he was in great hands. I'll definitely be reaching out to Carissa again in the future!”
“Hannah was the perfect cat sitter! She sent us great photos of our ?⬛ and made us feel like he was well cared for while we were away. Excellent communication and great to work with! Thanks Hannah!”
“Deanna did a great job with my dog! He's large and has a lot of energy so it takes a skilled dog walker/sitter to wrangle him. He was happy and well taken care of. Would recommend!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ballard
“We are so grateful to have found Felix! We asked him to help get our high-energy puppy used to in-home daycare, and he has gone above and beyond from day one. Before starting, Felix provided a detailed, thoughtful plan of how he intended to introduce Loki to his routine, which immediately put our minds at ease. After each session, he follows up with thorough feedback on how it went. He even takes the extra time to share practical tips and exercises we can practice at home to help Loki feel more comfortable in new environments. Loki is a work in progress, but Felix has been incredibly patient and genuinely willing to work with him to help him get the support he needs. We couldn't ask for a more attentive or dedicated dog sitter!”
About: I am comfortable with any dog, no matter the breed, age, activity level, or behavior! If your pup is dog friendly come join us for daycare! I offer pack walks with my pup as well as solo walks! I have experience with senior dogs as well as puppies and various behaviors/temperments! I have volunteered with shelter dogs in the past as well as experience working in daycare facilities and grooming salons! I currently am working as a junior groomer and typically am home all day during my days off unless I have something planned! During daycare we spend lots of time playing and going on adventures! I have all the time and attention to give to the pups! I treat every dog like they are my own! I believe every dog deserves the most respect! I give the dogs the highest level of my attention! I make sure to keep pet parents updated with lots of check ins and cute pictures of their pup! :)
“Sofia was wonderful! She was super communicative throughout the day and was happy to accommodate some of the specific requests we have for our puppy around feeding and daily routines. We've found with our young GSP that not everyone is aware of some of the crazy that comes with high-energy breeds and puppies, but Sofia was fantastic. Our dog got plenty of exercise and activity, and we would definitely recommend her to anyone, especially if you have a working breed or younger dog.”
“Kiko had an amazing couple of days with Ms. Elise. She kept me updated with how the days were going and provided some great photos. We are looking forward to the next visit!”
“Brandon and Ashley took great care of my pup on short notice. He was clearly happy in their care and was pretty sad about having to leave! Much appreciated and hope he gets another chance to visit them”
“Julie is an amazing doggie sitter! Our dog loved going to day care at her place for the evening, while we went out to celebrate a friend's birthday. We got pictures and updates throughout his stay with her, they went on a walk, and when we came back we found him super relaxed and happy; us coming back for him was not a big deal for him, he had THAT good a time. Her home is really lovely too. Julie was also really understanding with our changing schedule the day of the stay, and kindly looked after Victor a bit later than originally agreed upon so that we could wait for my friend's birthday cake to arrive :) A truly fantastic experience!”
“Dylan was very responsive and took great care of June. She was so excited to see him, I could tell she’s in good hands. Dylan took her on a few nice walks and she got to see the Cherry Blossoms bloom too”
“we had a great experience with eric! He watched our two pups for daycare and was incredibly communicative throughout the day—sending lots of photo updates and checking in often. One of my dogs is usually very fearful of new people, but he was patient and kind, and she warmed up to him quickly. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We highly recommend eric !”
“Tiffany took great care of my dog. I was so thankful that she was willing to watch him despite the early drop off and late pick up my job requires. She was great with communication and sent me pictures of him throughout the day. I can tell he had a great day because he didn’t seem to want to leave when I picked him up 😂 I would absolutely recommend Tiffany for any dog sitting needs.”
About: I’ve always been a huge dog lover and have years of experience caring for my own pets, as well as helping care for friends’ pets when they’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving dogs plenty of love and attention. I’m patient and attentive, and I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend time with your pup throughout the day and make sure they get the attention they need. I’m also an active person and love going on walks and getting outside, so I’m happy to keep up with more energetic dogs! I understand that every dog has their own personality, preferences, and routine, and I’ll do my best to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the day! My busiest work-from-home days are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 AM–4 PM, but I’m still home and available for breaks and attention throughout the day. Most other days of the week are open or very flexible, making it easy for me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they have a safe, comfortable environment and plenty of attention. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll be respectful of your space and make sure your home is kept secure and tidy. I also understand that every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to learn their personality, boundaries, and needs to help them feel as comfortable and cared for as possible while you’re away.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I understand that every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I currently have a 6-year-old Australian Shepherd, whom I've raised since she was 8 weeks old, as well as two cats. My Australian Shepherd is spayed and friendly with both dogs and cats, making her a great companion for visiting pets. Growing up, I also cared for a variety of animals, including dogs, chickens, a parrot, rabbits, turtles, and hamsters, which has given me experience with many different personalities and care needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've pet sat for friends' dogs and puppies. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or relaxing at home, I'll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they need. I also have experience administering oral medications and am happy to accommodate puppies who need extra potty breaks, structure, or a little more patience. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I'll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I’m currently studying for my pharmacist state board exam, which allows me to spend most of my fine at home and provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to maintain your pet’s normal routine including regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals and any medications they may need. I prioritize creating a safe and welcoming environment for every pet. While I do not have a yard, I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with plenty of opportunities for daily walks, exercise, and enrichment. I have a friendly social Australian Shepherd who enjoys being around both dogs and cats. I also have a crate for my dog if needed to help create a calm environment, provide personal space, or allow pets to have a comfortable adjustment period. I always supervise interactions and make sure each pet feels safe.
“Katryna did great with auggie! She sent frequent pics throughout the day, was really flexible with my work schedule. My dog came home calm, relaxed and tired- would definitely go with Katryna again :)”
“Ayesha was so great! She was happy to accommodate a few last minute changes in our schedule, and she took great care of our dog! He had a great time with her. We hope we can have her take care of our pup again!”
“Devan was awesome! Great communication and a natural at connecting with dogs and keeping them engaged. Benji did not want to leave! We hope to see Devan again!”
“Ramya and Zi are great! Our dog was nervous for the first time, and Zi spent time to walk around the block with us to calm her down. He gave good training tips too~”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Ballard
About: I have been an animal lover since childhood and truly believe that pets are our 'younger brothers' who deserve nothing but respect and affection. For the past 5 years, I’ve been a dedicated dog owner myself, which taught me the nuances of daily care and intuition. Beyond my personal life, I have 3 years of professional experience as a Rover sitter under a previous account. I don’t just 'watch' dogs; I welcome them into my home as family members, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and respected every second you are away. I work a flexible hybrid schedule, splitting my time between the office and home. My typical workday starts early at 6:00 AM and ends by 2:30 PM, though I often finish a couple of hours earlier. This early schedule is perfect for pet care because it means I am home for the majority of the day. On days I work from home, we are together 24/7. On office days, the pets are only alone for a short period before I return to dedicate my afternoon to them. Our typical walking routine includes: Morning: A refreshing early walk to kickstart the day. Mid-afternoon: A long, high-energy walk right after I finish work. Evening: A medium-length stroll before bedtime to ensure everyone is relaxed and ready for sleep. On weekends, we love to go on adventures! We frequently visit local parks to enjoy the fresh air and give the dogs plenty of space to explore. Your pet will fit right into our active and attentive daily rhythm. Creating a secure and stress-free environment is my top priority. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them, I ensure they feel like a true member of the family. A Comfortable Home Environment: Choice of Sleeping: Every guest has a dedicated "safe place" to retreat to, but I believe in total comfort. Pets are more than welcome to snuggle up in bed with me if that’s where they feel most secure and happy! Personal Space: To prevent any stress during mealtimes, each pet has their own designated station for food and fresh water. Play & Mental Stimulation: I dedicate one-on-one time to every pet for interactive play and engagement. We have a huge variety of toys to keep them entertained! Treats & Care: I love spoiling my guests with tasty treats, though I am very strict about checking for allergies or specific dietary instructions from owners first. Safety & Peace of Mind: Because I have a small, cat-friendly dog of my own, my home is already set up to be a pet-safe zone. I am very attentive to body language and ensure that all interactions between animals are supervised and positive. You can expect regular photo updates and messages so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having!
About: I've been around animals of all kinds since I was a kid. I've cared for older more needy pets, as well as those who need lots of play and attention. Each animal is a unique individual, and I love getting to know their different personalities and quirks. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and as a cat parent of 3, I understand how to "speak" cat vs dog! But don't be fooled - I may be a "cat lady", but I love dogs just as much! I'm experienced in walking, playing, and caring for dogs of all sizes. I also love to send pictures and updates so you continue to have peace of mind while away from home. I'm a self-employed artist, so my schedule is super flexible! Whether you need a quick drop in or an extended stay, I have plenty of time to spend with your animal friend! My goal is to provide individualized care, so when you book with me, we'll chat about your specific pet and home needs. I know how important it is to have someone who trust taking care of your pets (they're members of your family)! I've cared for pets in both small apartments, and big homes with yards, so happy to accommodate in whatever way you think is best for you and your pet.
“Paula was super responsive and showed up promptly for her walks with Brandy. We got very detailed cards after each walk and Brandy was a happy pup when we got home. We’ve already booked Paula for future walks and dog sitting!”
“Sabrina was very communicative and it was easy to schedule a walk for my pup with her! Even though it was a short walk, she went above and beyond to make sure Gunther enjoyed his time with her.”
“Felix is an absolutely phenomenal dog walker, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From day one, it was clear how incredibly detail-oriented he is. I always looked forward to his playful, creative reports after every single walk, not to mention the steady stream of great photos and videos he sent. It gave me so much peace of mind during the day. What really sets Felix apart is his professional background. Knowing he has experience training champion boxers made me completely confident during our initial meet-and-greet. I have a 65 lb reactive Belgian Malinois mix, Murphy, and finding someone who can safely and confidently handle him is tough. Felix’s expertise shined through immediately, and he handles Murphy like a total pro. If you need someone reliable, highly skilled, and genuinely invested in your dog's well-being, Felix is your guy!”
“Justin was great! He was always on schedule and even walked JJ a little longer than planned a few times. He was also kind enough to do a free introductory meet-and-greet to make sure everyone was comfortable. Highly recommend his services!”
About: I have over 20 years of experience working with animals both personally and professionally. I worked professionally at the Tulsa Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals from 2005-2008 and became the manager of puppy care. Upon returning to Seattle, I volunteered for PAWS Animal Shelter in Lynnwood, providing foster care for kittens that required bottle feeding, as well as litters too young or too sick to stay in the shelter. My former pets include three rescue cats (one with special needs), and one rescue dog. I currently have a 5 year old American Pit Bull Terrier / American Bulldog that I also rescued from PAWS Animal Shelter about a year ago. We love going for walks and hikes together, and visiting Sniffspots around the Seattle area. I love caring for animals and will treat your animals like I treat my own. I currently reside in Ballard and work from home. My work schedule is flexible which makes last minute walks and drop-in visits easy for me. I have recently reopened my Rover account and hope to get some new clients over the summer months! I work a flexible, part time schedule from home. Both my flexible work hours and the fact that I work from home make both regular and last minute walks and drop-in visits easy for me to do in Ballard and surrounding areas. I always offer free meet and greets either around the neighborhood or in your home to make sure that I am a good for for both you and your pet. When I come to your home for drop-in visits, your animal(s) will be my one and only focus. I am highly respectful of privacy and understand that having a new person in your home can feel vulnerable, especially at first.
About: I have been trusted with friends and families fur babies for almost 8 years, and had many years living with dogs as well. I have experience giving medication, caring for dogs in times of stress and anxiety, and of course going on daily walks. I have stayed overnight with dogs whose parents are out of town and I have experience with bigger dogs, as well as smaller breeds. I have also cared for a wide array of personalities as all dogs are very different, I enjoy learning about each dog I meet and how to have a good time with them. I work part time and have plenty of mornings available for pet care, I only work late nights once or twice a week and am almost always available after 8/9pm if needed. I am often going on a walk daily and bringing a dog along with me is even better! I am always making sure to cater to a dogs wants and needs, whether that be outside time running laps and playing fetch, or having down time inside and just hanging out. I understand that each dogs needs are different and being able to provide them with a fulfilling day is something I love!
“Kinsley is great! She took the extra time to make sure my pups felt comfortable before taking them for a long walk! I am very particular with whom I trust my dogs with, and felt very at ease and comfortable having Kinsey in my home. She is very professional and put together a nice post-walk report card with a summary and pictures of my pups on their walk. Overall, I would highly recommend Kinsley for dog walking services!”
“Caroline was so helpful with our little dude! He can be skeptical at first but he warmed up quickly to her. She helped us out on short notice too- will definitely use her again next time!”
About: Here’s a warm Rover profile paragraph that speaks directly to dog parents: As a fellow animal lover, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog. I provide safe, reliable, and personalized care tailored to your dog’s needs, whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, daycare, or overnight boarding. With 25+ years of pet care experience, I’ll keep your pup active, comfortable, and well cared for, with regular photo updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Here’s a natural, Rover-friendly response: Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and consistent care throughout the day. Living in Ballard with access to a secure dog run and nearby parks makes it easy to provide daily walks and outdoor enrichment. I also build time into my day for feeding, administering medications if needed, maintaining routines, and sending photo updates so pet parents always know how their furry family member is doing. Here’s a polished version for the “Home & Environment” section on Rover: I provide a clean, smoke-free, pet-friendly home where pets are welcome on the furniture if that’s part of their routine. My building features a secure dog run, a pet washing station, and we’re within walking distance of several parks and green spaces for daily walks, potty breaks, and outdoor enrichment. I strive to create a calm, comfortable environment where pets can feel safe, relaxed, and at home while you’re away. I also provide regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind throughout their stay. 🐾
“Malaina was amazing! She provided three walks a day for my boy Ollie for 8 days and left detailed updates for each walk with plenty of photos! Highly recommend!”
About: Dog and cat lover with senior experience and medication care. Reliable, attentive, and committed to treating every pet like my own. I know how important pets are to families. My routine is flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I work only as a pet sitter and manage my own schedule, so I’m able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and other care needs. I’m intentional about only accepting bookings that I can fully accommodate, and I’m happy to structure my schedule around a pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. Pet safety is my top priority. Before a booking, I make sure I understand the pet’s routine, personality, triggers, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, and any special needs. I also like to do a Meet & Greet so I can make sure I understand the owner’s expectations and the pet’s behavior.
“Stacey is super communicative and kind, and great with our extra-sniffy Lab. We just moved to the area and are so happy to have someone great in the area we can rely on!”
“Adrian has been a wonderful companion to Beckett for the last few weeks. She is calm and happy, punctual, and takes great care of him on their walks! I look forward to working with Adrian for as long as she is willing and able!!”
“Always love rebooking with Ray! Very grateful he takes amazing care of my girl! He has great patience with her and always leave great rover cards! Miss having you as one galaxy's permanent walkers! You will never go wrong with booking with Ray!”

“Michael was an amazing sitter for my dog and communicator for me!! We had a last minute schedule change and were traveling to Seattle unexpectedly.

His dog Ellie was very chill and seemed to get along with Sox great. I definitely would (and will!) work with Michael again!”

“This was my first time boarding Nico with Ana. Our meet and greet went very well. Ana is kind, friendly, and asked plenty of questions about Nico’s needs and preferences. I left feeling very comfortable moving forward with the booking. Nico was so well cared for while staying with Ana. Not only does she care deeply for animals, she understands how it must feel to leave your pet with someone else. She was very quick to reply to any messages and sent lots of updates and photos while we were away. Great communication and I would 100% recommend Ana as a fantastic pet sitter! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ll definitely have Nico stay with Ana again in the future.”

“We left our golden Lou with Don for over a week while we were traveling abroad. Don is always great to communicate with, and he’s great with Lou. He provided photos and video updates and takes such great care of our boy. We returned home with a very happy and tired pup.”

“Watched my dog for the weekend and it couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Very good communication and you can really tell that Adam is a dog lover. Would book again without hesitation.”
“Maiko is the best!! She is super communicative and flexible. I got many photo updates throughout the weekend and it was clear my puppy Kenji was comfortable and loved.

I highly recommend and will definitely book her again in the future!”
