“Laila was Amazing! She shared photos and videos that made me feel so relaxed and comfortable as this was the first time I've been away from my baby. I highly recommend Laila!”
“Kenny was great about all his communication and took wonderful care of my dog Barney. He came home relaxed! I look forward to future appointments with Kenny.”
“Sarah is an excellent sitter! We got daily and frequent updates on our pup and our pup got so cozy with Sarah that she felt at home and was happy to see us when we picked her up.”
“This was our second time leaving Momo with Malvika & her family! Momo was anxious this time & they were so understanding and helpful with her. Once again, highly recommend Malvika!”
“Elise and James have boarded our girls twice now and we’ve booked them again for an upcoming trip. They take great care of them, send daily updates, and clearly love dogs. Couldn’t ask for better sitters!”
“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!”
“Jessica was great! She was communicative throughout, and I felt really comfortable leaving Dakota with her. Her dog, Ollie, is super sweet, and he and Dakota got along really well. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Christopher went above and beyond by providing multiple updates and photos each day, and checking in when our dogs energy levels seemed to be low (which is normal for our anxious older dog). He set up a meet and greet so we could make sure that our dogs got along before accepting the booking, which I appreciate. 10/10 would book again next time I am in need of a dog-sitter!”
“I was nervous to leave my dog with someone other than family, but Vivian was great! She sent pictures regularly to let me know how my dog was doing, and treated him like one of her own!”
“Jerica is great! We found her on Rover 3 weeks before our 8-day trip when our regular dog sitter would not be available. I was nervous leaving Archie with a new sitter at first, but she took great care of Archie. Jerica works from home. She has a yard and an adorable corgi so our beagle had someone to play with. Jerica took Archie on walks with her corgi and let Archie snuggle with her at night. It worked out great. She kept us updated every day and sent us lots of photos. We would definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Maria and Kalyan (and Nikko) provided excellent care for Hazel while I was away. Hazel can be a bit anxious when I leave her with a Rover, but they helped her settle in right away. They sent lots of photo and video updates, so I could trust that Hazel was being well-cared for. They really understand Aussies. And by the end of the weekend, Hazel was even caught holding hands with their dog Nikko! New bestie acquired! I would gladly book with them again, and I think Hazel would be thrilled as well.”
“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.”
“Colleen and her husband were perfect. It’s clear they understand dogs and know how to make them feel comfortable. Odin enjoyed our initial visit, and when we came back two months later for the drop off it was clear he was excited and happy to be there. We will absolutely ask them to watch Odin 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!”
“Bean loved staying with Maureen and her cute pup Lucy! Maureen communicated promptly with us and was super accommodating to our travel schedule.”
“Mckenna was absolutely the best! I felt reassured knowing my dog Sebastian was in good hands. Thank you for being kind, communicative, and keeping me in the loop with daily updates, especially daily Sebastian photos! 🐶 I’m really happy to hear he made new Shih Tzu friends as well. Sebbie and Ollie and Jaxx forever! Thank you for providing a safe and welcoming environment for my dearest pup. Thanks again for everything - I hope to stay in touch for future bookings on Rover. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“I’m so grateful to have found Maria! My little guy had such a wonderful time with her and her and the little friends she had ready for him to play with. I’m sure he is looking forward to the next time I have to leave town and he gets to go back for another beach vacation!”

“Maura was fantastic! She was very communicative and I really appreciated her flexibility when my travel plans changed last minute. My cat can get lonely and anxious when I'm gone and she was in such good spirits when I returned. Maura's visits made Juniper feel comfortable and cared for and it was wonderful to know she was in good hands while I was gone. I would definitely recommend Maura!”
“Mandy is my cat Larry’s spirit animal it seems. She’s super kind and reliable and I love all the pictures and little stories I get from her while far away. Super duper recommend her!”
“Ally was sweet and caring with our two cats while we were away. She gave them lots of love and provided clear and thoughtful updates during our time away. I would highly recommend Ally - we could rest assured that our cats were in good hands while we were away.”
“Stephanie is great, very professional, and extremely attentive. It was a bit of a last minute booking. She took care of my cat, making sure she was safe her first time I was away after we lost her brother. I would book her again.”
“Lee was wonderful in communication (esp for a last min holiday time booking), took care of a plant that Momo knocked over, and they also sent a vid of Momo's shenanigans which I loved! 😸”
About: I have two cats of my own, Marnie and Arya. My life has been made all the better ever since adopting these two. I got them when they were kittens, so I have experience caring for younger cats. Marnie has had several health issues on and off, so I have plenty of experience administrating oral medicine. I am also happy to do claw trimmings and clean up after all the potential messes our furry friends can leave behind-from litter boxes, toileting accidents to throw-ups. I am very detail-oriented and believe that good communication is essential: you can expect thorough reports of each visit and many pictures of your cats throughout my time with them. I always worry for my girls when I am away from home, so I empathize with the potential anxieties any of you may have while being away from your pets.
About: I've taken care of cats for 10+ years and have a couple cats of my own at home! I'm a big believer that they have big personalities and demand more trust building than a lot of other animals. I love creating safe environments for cats and easing their time away from their families.
“I had a wonderful experience! Lex was reliable, sent lots of great photos and updates, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my cat, Charlie, was happy, comfortable, and well cared for—and even seemed to adore her. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Eric gave AMAZING care for my ultra-shy kitties! He spent a lot of time with the cats and the diligence really showed when they actually hung out with him! Usually they flee from any human aside from me. It was such a relief knowing they were getting more than just their food and water topped off, and I also appreciated the thorough communication.”
“Brandi did an amazing job with our two young ragdolls. I would give her 10/10 in literally every category - communication, updates, photos, cleanliness, directions - everything was amazing. I am usually very anxious about leaving them, but Brandi put us at ease entirely. Would book her every time if I could.”
“Jennifer was fantastic! She came by a week before the booking to meet Nemo, which helped ease both his and our nerves. Throughout the stay, she sent timely, detailed, and honest updates—always including sweet photos that reassured us he was doing well. She was gentle and thoughtful with our kitty, making sure to play with him, brush him, and do everything she could to ease his anxiety while we were away. It was clear Nemo was in great hands. We’re so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Jessica is a great pet sitter! I've had the same cat sitter for years, but she was unavailable. Stressful trying to determine who to trust w/my cat who has some anxiety. Jessica was amazing from the beginning at our meet and greet. She provided amazing details and photos during her visits and any of my initial fears quickly subsided. She understands the importance of her role and is incredibly kind and professional. Wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!”
“Talia was our first Rover catsitter, and we had a great experience with her––we'll absolutely book her again. She came over for a meet-and-greet before the trip and was friendly, professional and engaged with our cat. During the trip, she sent us sweet photos and spent time socializing with our cat who can be a bit "bitey." Talia even called for our cat when she was outside, and waited for our cat to come back to get some pets and treats.”
“Emily was fantastic with our boy and would definitely book again! Emily was great at communicating with us and even sent us pictures which was great to be surprised with while at work. Thank you again Emily and you will hear from us again shortly!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for friends for many years and understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine. Whether your cat is social and playful or shy and independent, I’m happy to provide care that matches their needs. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of affection on their terms. During house sits, I treat your home with respect, keep things tidy, and provide regular updates and photos so you can travel with peace of mind. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to details, and I strive to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away.

“Chris has been absolutely amazing. I just moved from across the country with one of my three dogs, and he has been having a hard time adjusting to apartment life (aka screaming his head off). After I got an email from my property manager after my first day of work I was frantically looking for a sitter for the next day. Chris was not only able to accommodate Casper the following day after my request, but also last minute on a weekend for an event I was hosting. I cannot thank Chris enough for his help and for putting up with some of Casper’s antics.”
“Michelle was awesome! She sent lots of photo updates, and kept us posted about Charlie’s activities throughout the day- walks, bathroom breaks, etc. He had a great time playing with her dog and was always nice and tired coming home at the end of the day after getting good play and exercise. We’d tooootally recommend her and will definitely be trying to book her in the future!”
About: I cared for my own two cats for over 5 years (they’ve since passed), and I’ve always loved being around animals. I’ve lived with dogs (thanks to dog-loving roommates and family) and I’ve dog-sat for friends for many years. I’m an expert cuddler, feeder, walker, and all-around caretaker. Whether your pup loves playtime or prefers a calm, cozy environment, I’ll treat them like family. I work hybrid, so I’m home most days, and my husband is also home most days. Between the two of us, your dog will always have company, we make sure pups are never left alone for more than 3 hours at a time. We have two kids (5 and 2), so we need dogs who are very kid-friendly and can sleep through the night. If you’re unsure about either of those, our family might not be the right fit. I’m especially great with affectionate dogs and seniors who need a little extra care and patience. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and belly rubs while you’re away! (Additional note: I’m happy to board larger dogs, as long as they’re older and super mellow. As a short woman, I just want to make sure I can stay in control on walks, and with small kids at home, I’m mindful about dogs who won’t jump up or accidentally knock them over.) I work hybrid, so I’m home most days, and my husband is also home most days. Between the two of us, your dog will always have company and they will get lots of love & attention. We make sure pups are never left alone for more than 3 hours at a time. Overnight Stays: We have two kids (5 and 2), so we need dogs who are very kid-friendly and can sleep through the night. If you’re unsure about either of those, our family might not be the right fit. Doggy Daycare: Happy to host your dog during the weekdays, and provide plenty of cuddles, company, and walks. In my home, your dog will be treated like family! They’re free to roam the house, lounge on the furniture, and cuddle up with us. We have a large, almost fully fenced yard with plenty of space to explore and play (while we keep a close eye during outside time just in case). We also have great walking paths nearby for daily strolls. Whether it’s playtime, nap time, or cuddle time, your pup will get lots of attention and love throughout the day.
“Rose was an excellent sitter for Quoia! Playing in the backyard & exploring the hood during her stay. Q was super excited to arrive the next morning & we were both surprised by a very, very thoughtful touch day 2 when Rose laid out little rugs for Q having noticed she can be hesitant on wood floors - so sweet! Would gladly pick Rose again when we need another sitter. Thx! - Tori & Matt”
“Outstanding care for Maggie-Roo. Perry's communication was excellent from the start. He was very welcoming and Maggie-Roo had a great time. He's clearly a "dog person" and specifically has experience with GSDs. Highly recommended. Thank you, Perry!”
About: I have cared for my own pug for over 13 years, so I understand the daily needs of dogs at different stages of life, including senior care. Our home environment is calm and comfortable, which works well for dogs that enjoy a relaxed setting. Both my husband and I work from home most days, so dogs staying with us receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. We also have a private rooftop area that can be used for quick potty breaks if needed. Because we have a gentle senior pug at home, we typically do best with dogs that are friendly and not extremely high energy. We aim to provide a safe, comfortable place where dogs can relax and feel cared for while their owners are away. Both my husband and I work from home most days, so we are around throughout the day to give dogs attention, regular potty breaks, and walks. This also means dogs are rarely left alone for long periods of time. Our schedule is generally flexible, and we are able to accommodate regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, and walks throughout the day. Because we are home most of the time, we can keep a close eye on the dogs and make sure they are comfortable and well cared for. We provide a calm, safe home environment for dogs. We have a gentle senior pug who is very used to sharing space with other dogs, so we typically do best with dogs that are friendly and not extremely high energy. Our house has a private rooftop area that can be used for quick potty breaks if needed, and we also take dogs out for regular walks. Because we work from home, dogs staying with us receive plenty of supervision and attention throughout the day. We usually host only one guest dog at a time so we can focus on their comfort and make sure they feel relaxed and well cared for during their stay.
“They were excellent hosts, clearly our lil guy had such a nice time with them, I’ll definitely reach out to them if I were in town again, and need someone to take care of Olaf! The entire family engaged with Olaf and kept him company, can’t recommend them enough!”
“Our dog Nico LOVES coming to see Tien, Jeanyee, and Bowser! He can't wait to get to their front door to start playing, and he's always so happy at the end of the day. These guys are AWESOME!”
“Widget had a GREAT time at Ro's house, hanging out with her and her dogs! He came home tired and happy. Ro was right on time, solid communication, flexible and responsive - we will be back!”
“Rachael was great! Sadie can be a little shy and nervous at first but she warmed up quickly to Rachael. We loved that she got a trip to the dog park too! Rachael had great communication and sent us some videos of Sadie playing.”
“Lydia took Aggie in at last moment. Aggie is a shy dog but Lydia was able to get her comfortable in her. I loved the regular messages and video she kept sending us. Anytime we are in Seattle she will our go to person to care of Aggie. Thanks again Lydia.”
“Maureen (and her Frenchie Lucy!) do a great job hosting Bender. She clearly understands dogs and knows how to handle our rambunctious puppy. Flexible and communicative - we highly recommend booking with Maureen!”
“Joseph was so nice and helpful with my pup!! She loved her stay at his house and he sent me a bunch of pics and videos as well as texting me during the day with updates! Thanks so much Joseph!!!”
“Auntie Maria is the best! She has been instrumental in Pickles' growth since he was a small puppy. She takes such good care of him, from pushes in a stroller to introductory walks with neighbors, I always know he's having a good day while I'm at work. She checks in regularly, and even followed up between visits to make sure he was doing well. Thank you again, Maria!”
“Eric has been great with our Dog Big Mama. She is usually very nervous with new people and places, but she warmed up to him immediately. Eric is super responsive and took amazing care of her while we were out of town for the week. We have rebooked with Eric multiple times and he has become our go to dog sitter. I would highly recommend Eric and just wanted to say thank you for being so great with our dog.”
“We are so grateful to have found Todd. He took wonderful care of Kona and made sure she got daily walks and plenty of attention. Kona got along great with Honey, who is such a sweet, chill pup. The two of them did really well together. Todd was always responsive, reliable, and kept us updated. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and are so happy to have found him. We will absolutely continue to use Todd in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter.”
“Evlyn was so wonderful with my dog Coco and we were lucky she was able to accept the booking despite a last-minute notice. She sent several photos throughout the day and was quick to respond both prior to and during the stay. Communicating with her was so easy and Coco seemed to have a good time with her and her dog Mikey. :) Thank you again Evlyn! We will be returning for sure. :)”
“We could tell Malawi had an amazing time! After the first day, he pretty much ran up the stairs - didn’t even turn around to say Goodbye to us. After we picked him up on his last day, he just laid around sighing to himself. He missed his new friends so much.”

About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routines, and I make it my mission to treat each one like family. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll provide the personalized attention and care they deserve. I’m extremely responsible and follow instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding schedules, specific walking routes, or administering medications. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency, so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. Your dog’s happiness is my top priority, and I’m committed to making sure they feel secure and loved while you’re away. I currently work from home, which allows me to be flexible with my schedule. I’m generally available after 3:30 PM on weekdays and can accommodate requests during that time. On weekends, I have open availability and am happy to adjust to your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I provide a secure, attentive environment where your pet is never left unsupervised during visits or walks. I closely follow your care instructions—whether it’s leash preferences, feeding guidelines, or home routines—to ensure consistency and comfort. I’m also alert to any signs of stress or health issues and will always keep you informed. You can trust that your pet is in loving, responsible hands every step of the way.
“Mandy walked our dogs for months and they absolutely loved her (they'd excitedly wait for her at the gate). Mandy made the logistics so easy, she was always on time, and she always left a detailed report.”
“Super thankful that Ally was available to walk our 40-lb 1.5 yr-old heeler mix. It gave me peace of mind during a busy week while my partner was out of town. Excellent communication. I would hire her again!”
About: *accepting up to 3 night stays at this time* We’ve had dogs as small as a Maltese to as large as a Rottweiler. We’ve had dogs from puppies and have rescued dogs. I also used to volunteer at the local dog shelter as a dog walker. We recently said goodbye to our family dog of 10 years. We love being around pets, but are not ready to have our own yet. We have watched many of our friends dogs and treat them as our own! One of us is home with 2 children every day of the week. If we are pet sitting, we mostly hang around home. We would fit in walks and outside time. Our pets would roam openly in our home and hang out wherever we were. We offer lots of play, pets and walks. With our fenced yard, they could easily run out for a quick potty break as well.
“Aaron came right on time and spent time to get acquainted with my dog, who is often apprehensive to meet new people. He took her out for some good exercise and was very responsive with communication. Thank you, Aaron!”
About: I’m the person who stops mid-sidewalk to crouch down and say hello to every dog I come across! I was fortunate enough to grow up with dogs, but over time I’ve learned that loving them and understanding them are two very different things. Part of that comes from my sweet girl, Remy, an aussie/border collie mix who's been with me since she was ten weeks old. We are truly the best adventure duo. We're outside constantly: parks, forest walks, swimming, camping (but swimming is her favorite). She's extremely well trained, with a calm, shy demeanor and near perfect recall. I don't say this to brag (maybe a little) but to point out that even now, at ten years old, we’re still learning together. That process taught me that knowing a dog isn’t about affection alone. It’s about paying attention. I bring that same mindset to every one of my friend's and family's dogs that I care for. Each one has their own logic and their own way of moving through the world. Fisher, a golden, craves attention, so when she’s with me we build that into the day. She even has a standing date at a local cider spot. Oakley lives for the water, so that’s where we go. And then there are the subtleties, like how Fisher will dodge you if you walk toward her mid-play, but will come straight to you if you ask for a touch. These aren’t things you pick up from a guidebook. They come from watching closely and adjusting. My goal is always the same. Figure out what makes each dog feel safe, engaged, and understood, and meet them there. There’s almost always someone home. My partner works remotely full-time, and I work from home usually 3 days a week, so your dog gets real company instead of long stretches alone if we're boarding or doing a daycare scenario. Our days have a natural rhythm. Mornings and evenings are when we’re most active, with walks, longer play sessions, and time outside (unless it's the weekend). During the day, dogs can settle, move between spaces, or engage depending on what they need. I offer drop-ins, longer walks, extended play time like hikes, and boarding. I adjust based on each dog’s energy and routine. We live on the ground floor with a fully enclosed private patio (not a yard). Dogs can move freely between inside and out through a mesh door, and I’m often outside working in warmer months. It’s a calm, private, low-stress environment. I have a high-energy dog, so we are ALWAYS outside on walks, at the park, hiking etc. despite not having a proper yard. Remy is an easy housemate. She’s well-trained, focused, and usually more interested in her ball than new arrivals. She can be protective of her toys, which I manage proactively to keep things smooth, and I've never had issues with any other dogs. For boarding, I take dogs up to about 45 lbs to keep the space balanced. Walks and hikes are open to dogs of any size.
“As always, Andy was great with George! It made a huge difference knowing he’d be taken care of while I was out in the mountains. I was out of cell service (so I couldn’t get the notification the walk started), but I knew I didn’t have to worry with Andy! That allowed me to fully relax and enjoy my day.”
About: Hi! I'm Maggie, I'm a Seattle based animal caregiver ✨ I care for a wide range of animals through my volunteer work at two local animal sanctuaries. I'm drawn to the animals that need a little extra patience, whether that's a shy rescue or an anxious baby who needs a calm, predictable routine to feel safe. My background is in operations management, which sounds unrelated, but it means I'm able to follow routines and notice if/when something's off. I communicate proactively so you're never left wondering how your pet is doing and I make sure to give each animal real, individual attention. 💖 I am flexible, prompt, and ready to take care of your furry friend. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! 🥰 Since I know no furry friend is the same, I follow each pet's existing routine as closely as possible. Before any stay or visit I make sure the space is secure and safe and I send regular photo updates so owners aren't left guessing. In my own home I maintain a calm, structured environment, and I apply that same energy in a client's space. I treat every home like it's my own and every pet like they're Ky.
About: I’ve always had an unusually strong connection with animals—especially shy or anxious ones. Dogs and cats that are nervous around others tend to warm up to me quickly, often surprising their owners. I grew up with four dogs and have experience reading behavior, giving space when needed, and building trust at the animal’s pace. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. I don’t have pets of my own right now, which means I can give your pet my full attention and treat them like they’re my own while you’re away. I’m currently working remote and part time, and I frequently walk around the Seward park and Columbia city neighborhoods for exercise. I have plenty of time and ability to fit pet care into my routine. I will be unable to host your pet, but when I am welcomed into a clients home I do my best to respect the peace and harmony of another’s space and I always strive to leave the home in the exact condition in which I found it.
“Mac was lovely to work with. He came by for a quick meet and greet and our dog immediately loved him. We got daily updates with pictures on all the walks. We will definitely use him again!”
“Jennifer is wonderful! She took our pup on walks and to the dog park when she sensed she needed some time to run around :) really appreciate her communicativeness!”
About: I bred black and chocolate labrador retrievers growing up in Seattle, and trained dogs until I was 15 years old. I started Rover when I lived in Tacoma during graduate school and really enjoyed the time I got to spend with all the dogs. I recently reactivated my account in 2026 since I have weekends and Tuesdays off and would love the opportunity to help you and your dog(s)! If you would like your dog to get outside for walks, run or swim, send me an message! Cheers!

I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in great hands.
About: **Pet Care Experience** I deeply care for dogs, cats, farm animals, reptiles, and amphibians, especially those who struggle with fear, anxiety, or past traumas. With 25 years of personal caregiving experience and 15 years of dedicated training in animal husbandry, I have devoted my life to understanding and nurturing all kinds of animals, whether they are beloved pets or cherished farm companions. My approach is rooted in modern, scientifically-proven training methods that prioritize positive reinforcement, gentle redirection, and fear-free handling. I am committed to building trust, confidence, and safety in every interaction, and I truly believe in meeting each animal where they are emotionally, honoring their unique pace and individual needs. Above all, my goal is to create a nurturing environment where every interaction is restorative, joyful, and filled with unconditional love and patience. I understand the journey of coming out of your shell, and I strive to provide a calm, safe space where animals can heal, trust, and ultimately thrive. I also have experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, and adapting my care to meet special needs. Whether your animal needs gentle reassurance or playful companionship, I am here to offer compassionate, personalized care that respects and supports their unique journey. Pet care is a significant part of my life, and I have set aside time in my schedule to provide attentive and compassionate care on weekends, Mondays, and Tuesdays. I am available Monday and Tuesday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. For an additional fee, I am also available to work on Wednesdays through Fridays starting after 9:00 a.m. I offer flexibility on weekends if extra care is needed, as well as overnight stays and holiday care upon request. By focusing my care on these specific days, I can give each animal my full attention, patience, and love, ensuring a positive and supportive experience every time we are together. Every pet deserves to feel safe, respected, and comfortable in their environment. Whether I'm caring for pets in my own home or in a client's home, I prioritize creating a calm, structured, and positive space tailored to each animal’s needs. In my home, pets enjoy enrichment activities such as lick mats, playtime, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day. I have a fully fenced backyard with 6+ foot tall fences for safe outdoor play and private areas where dogs can rest undisturbed if they need a break from other animals. Every animal is welcome on the couch for snuggles and is encouraged to feel at home. I utilize gentle, positive reinforcement and maintain clear, consistent routines to help pets feel secure. For animals with fear, anxiety, or a history of trauma, I prioritize slow introductions, patience, and fear-free handling to build trust at their own pace. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, ensuring that pets' surroundings remain familiar and stress-free. I follow instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and behavior protocols closely, maintaining consistency and safety. I am also attentive to environmental safety—checking gates, securing leashes, and removing hazards—and I communicate regularly with pet parents to provide peace of mind. My goal is always to provide gentle, reliable care that fosters trust and confidence in both pets and their humans.
About: I have recently lost my 12 year old English bulldog. While I’m not ready for another companion, I am ready to give love to friendly pets. I have experience with special needs dogs, large breeds, and dogs with special medication needs. I am comfortable with dog-aggressive pets as well. I work full time but have a flexible schedule and often work from home. I am available to care for your pet in your home, and mine as well. Looking forward to meeting your pets! I have flexibility and with proper notice I can accommodate most scheduling needs. I have reliable transportation and often work from home. I am open to discussing your pets needs! I have a clean and pet safe home where your pets are welcome to get on the furniture if they are allowed. I will be happy to use a crate if your animals prefer it, but they are also welcome to roam the house if they won’t destroy furniture. I care for animals as if they were my own, and they will be spoiled when spending time with me.

“Sarah is an excellent sitter! We got daily and frequent updates on our pup and our pup got so cozy with Sarah that she felt at home and was happy to see us when we picked her up.”
“This was our second time leaving Momo with Malvika & her family! Momo was anxious this time & they were so understanding and helpful with her. Once again, highly recommend Malvika!”
“Elise and James have boarded our girls twice now and we’ve booked them again for an upcoming trip. They take great care of them, send daily updates, and clearly love dogs. Couldn’t ask for better sitters!”
“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!”
“I was nervous to leave my dog with someone other than family, but Vivian was great! She sent pictures regularly to let me know how my dog was doing, and treated him like one of her own!”
“Maria and Kalyan (and Nikko) provided excellent care for Hazel while I was away. Hazel can be a bit anxious when I leave her with a Rover, but they helped her settle in right away. They sent lots of photo and video updates, so I could trust that Hazel was being well-cared for. They really understand Aussies. And by the end of the weekend, Hazel was even caught holding hands with their dog Nikko! New bestie acquired! I would gladly book with them again, and I think Hazel would be thrilled as well.”
“Great stay with Joe as always! Joe is extremely caring, attentive, and responsive. He got in touch with me quickly when my dog had an upset stomach, and worked with me to figure out a solution. He clearly loves and cares for dogs like they are his own. Your dog is safe and loved in his hands! We will be back!”
“Our pup had the best stay with Stephanie and Scotty! They were great about accommodating all of my and my husband’s requests, especially because our girl can be anxious around new environments and people. Frequent updates kept us at ease, and we look forward to booking with them again very soon!”
“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.”
“Josh is hands down the best dog sitter we've ever had! He took incredible care of my dog, Moose, and treated him like his own. Josh was patient, attentive, and genuinely loving—it was clear from the start that he truly cares about animals. I got regular updates, photos, and could tell Moose was having a great time. It’s such a relief to know my dog is in such good hands. Can’t recommend Josh enough and we are stoked to have him dog sit in the near future!”
“Gregg is so kind and awesome with doggos! He was great with Leo, giving him lots of walks and time playing with the ball. Gregg shared regular updates and it was clear Leo was in a safe, fun place. Thank you!!”
“Kirsten and her family are wonderful furbaby sitters. Bodhi always has a great time while he’s there and comes home exhausted! We enjoy the pictures she sends and know that he’s having fun, while we are too!”
“Our puppy Rooney had the best time at kandices. We got daily photos and an update on rooneys fun filled stay. He had the best time playing with the other dogs and enjoying their backyard. We were afraid rooney wouldn't want to come home to our apartment. We will definitely be using kandices again if we head out of town. Thanks kandice! ”
“Boston had such a blast at Kai's place. He enjoyed the rainy walks on the trail. He literally passed out after coming home. I believe Kai's family provided such great care and attention to our furry baby while we are away. Kai is also very flexible - with our flight being cancelled, he was able to sit Boston for a few more hours with short notice.”
“Scarlet is extremely flexible. We are notoriously late and she is always kind and accommodating. We also love that she only takes one client at a time, so our Rosie gets all of their attention.”
“Yalined welcomed my dog Hank into their home, and he had a very nice stay. He was relaxed when I picked him up and I would use Yalined again when I go on a trip.”
“Ramon was great with Nilla! He took her on long walks which she loved and even made an employee of the month comic of her (which we loved!) Would book a stay with Ramon again!”
“We booked Randsell again for a 6-day stay after a great daycare experience, and we’re so glad we did. She took such great care of our dogs and kept us updated with lots of sweet photos and videos. She was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly understood their personalities. One of our dogs can be slow to warm up, but he became comfortable with her so quickly, which meant a lot to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”
