“Tianci was an amazing host for Cannoli! The level of care and attention to detail that she and her husband gave during his stay was nothing short of impeccable. They took Cannoli on tons of walks, showered him with toys and treats, and gave him an adorable bath and spa-treatment. I highly recommend Tianci as a sitter!!!”
“Dani and Joy were lovely to work with and they really looked after our dog. They had another little dog staying with them too and were so thoughtful about introducing them to one another and went to great lengths to make sure our dog (and we) would be comfortable with the arrangements. They sent pictures and kept us updates regularly which I always appreciate. They clearly love looking after dogs! I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.”
“Ana took amazing care of my dog! She gave me frequent updates and pictures about how my pup was doing. I could tell how much love, attention, and care her and her daughter were giving to my dog. They took her on frequent walks and even took her hiking! I very strongly recommend Ana!!”
“Carolyn was a fabulous sitter! My dog had the absolute best time going to the dog park daily, hanging out with her dog, and getting lots of love cuddling on the couch. She sent lots of fun pictures and videos the whole time, so we felt super confident and at ease knowing our dog was in great hands. Definitely the best Rover experience I've had :)”

“Anna was great! She was really communicative and so accommodating, especially on short notice. Dakota warmed up to her quickly and also got along really well with her dog, Cooper. I felt completely comfortable leaving Dakota with her and would definitely book with Anna again.”
“Marden took great care of our dog and was very flexible with drop off and pickup times. He sent us photos and updates and made sure our dog was comfortable and happy during her stay. Will definitely be boarding with him again!”
“Kai was very communicative, always quick to respond, and sent lots of photos and videos of my cat Felicity while he was watching her! He was friendly and flexible with timing, which I really appreciated. My cat was very shy and a bit anxious to be staying away from home but Kai was watchful and did his best to make sure she was comfortable and cared for!”
“Isabella and Gui were the best hosts! Bobo truly had his own vacation in form of dog parks and couch snuggles. Your pup would be lucky to be cared by them!”
About: As a 4th‑year Informatics student at the University of Washington, I’m naturally detail‑oriented and dependable — but my real foundation in pet care comes from growing up with 20+ breeds and species of animals. I’ve spent my whole life learning how different personalities communicate, what helps them feel safe, and how to build trust at their pace. I currently live with three cats, so I’m especially tuned in to the little things: body‑language shifts, routine preferences, and comfort cues. Whether I’m caring for a cat or a dog, I focus on creating a calm, predictable day — fresh food and water, clean spaces, gentle enrichment, and companionship that matches their energy. Every pet I care for gets the same patience, warmth, and respect I give my own. I’m a part‑time UW student and part‑time worker, so my schedule is steady and predictable. I build pet care into my daily routine — morning and evening check‑ins, fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, walks or playtime, and calm companionship. Weekly, I make sure pets get extra enrichment, light grooming, and a tidy, comfortable space. No matter how full my week is, your pet’s routine stays consistent and cared for. I share my apartment with three cats, so the environment here is naturally calm, pet‑friendly, and set up with animals in mind. There are plenty of cozy resting spots, clean spaces, and enrichment areas that keep pets comfortable and stimulated. Living with multiple cats has taught me how to maintain a peaceful, well‑managed home where routines stay consistent and every pet has room to feel safe and relaxed. Whether I’m caring for your cat or your dog, they’ll be in a space that’s warm, tidy, and designed with animals’ comfort in mind.
“My 2 year old Springer Spaniel Boxer mix, Edie, had a wonderful time with Jana and her family! When I normally leave Edie at her doggy daycare to travel, she barely eats and seems anxious when I come to pick her up. Not the case this time! Edie ate all the food I had packed for her along with all the treats! She loved running around and puppy style wrestling with Hazel! Jana gave me updates twice a day with pictures and videos of the ladies playing. I truly do believe that Edie had a dog vacay with Hazel and Jana!”
About: I called my dog my sister until I was 11. She and I did everything together! A bond that was truly one of the greatest is loving an animal! I currently work full time but I am available in the mornings and evening times for 2 meals a day if needed and long walks in the morning and night!! I have a fenced yard a 3000 square foot house with no other animals! I don’t have too much furniture in my house currently! I do have a deck that’s covered as well!
“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!”
“Rand took incredible care of our dog! He’s a big, energetic chocolate lab and Rand kept him safe, fed, and so happy! We will absolutely be coming back to her as long as she’s available!”
“Kizzie has a great setup at her place for cat boarding. She’s was very timely with communication, sent us photo and videos of our kitty throughout the stay, and helped us by dropping him off at the end. Will definitely board our cat with her again.”
“Yizhe looked after Momo very well! He gave us regular updates and even sent many pictures and videos. We could that he was very attentive to Momo’s behavior and checked in with us. We felt stress free on our trip knowing Momo was being well cared for! He also got along well with Yizhe’s dog Mauti. Overall very satisfied and would book him again for Momo. Thank you!”
“Emily was excellent with our dog and great to work with. Her excellent communication skills made us feel at ease throughout her time with her. She appeared knowledgeable and genuinely wanted to ensure her comfort at all times. As a senior dog, her presence was reassuring, and it gave us peace of mind knowing that she was in capable hands. I highly recommend Emily and would definitely book her again for future stays. .”

“Winston was kind and diligent and Toast clearly liked him a lot. He gave detailed updates, made sure she got her meds, and even tidied up after her. I felt like she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend.”
“Maryia is a fantastic sitter. She came in time every time and played for the full hour with our cats, leaving our house pristine for when we came home. We have one shy cat and he loved her since her first visit as he could feel her good vibes. Both Anakin and Kenobi are very happy they got to spend time with her :)”
“I am beyond grateful for the continuous exceptional care provided by Katie while I was overseas. She went above and beyond to ensure my cats were well taken care of, especially when one of them developed stomach issues. Her constant communication gave me peace of mind, and she even took the time to pick up medication from the vet and administer it with great care. Katie has developed a wonderful bond with my fur babies—they waited for her at the door every day and absolutely loved the pets, attention, and companionship she provided. I couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and compassionate caretaker for them. Thank you for being wonderful Katie!”
“I just moved to a new neighborhood and Kenneth is such a great find! He did such a great job with my two cats while I was away for a short trip and I will definitely book him again. He seemed to win over even my slightly shy and skeptical cat in just a few days haha. He took great pictures and was very responsive. He also helped retrieve a package that was delivered to the wrong place in the apartment complex while I was away.”
About: I have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone reliable caring for your pet while you’re away. I’ve also cat sat for friends and family, including feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and sending photo updates. I love getting to know each cat’s personality and making them feel comfortable and cared for.
“Aya was so great with my cat Jackson... he's still adjusting to being in a new space and Aya was fantastic giving him attention when I couldn't be there. Totally recommend!”
“This was our second time working with Eleanor and it was just as great as the first! We were worried about leaving Bobo for a week, but Eleanor gave detailed updates with many photos. We were able to relax knowing Bobo was in great hands! Will definitely be reaching out again the next time we’re away :)”
“Cassandra was amazing!! We really appreciated her watching our kitty. She played with him, sat with him, fed him, and even cleaned up a little spit while we were away on vacation. She sent loads of photos of her visits and was very thorough with her updates on how he was doing! She's the best!”
About: I currently care for pets for a few neighbors in my condo building and love doing it. What ever your pet's needs and no matter how intricate your care instructions are, I will do my best to follow them. Also experienced administering medicine for pets, especially cats.
“Akiko gave us such peace of mind leaving our cats in her care for a weekend trip. She was awesome with communicating about when she was going to visit them and how they were doing. Our one cat is very high energy and Akiko did a great job of giving her plenty of attention and playtime during her visits. She provided wonderful pictures and videos too! She also was great about cleaning up a couple of messes and making sure the litter boxes were cleaned. We highly recommend Akiko!”
“I’ve used DeAnna a few times and always so pleased with her services. She takes great care of my pet and always shares updates and pictures. Her communication is great, as my travel schedule is a little hectic and can be flexible with my schedule.”
“This was our second time booking Anna for drop in visits with our cat. She was great at communicating and spent lots of time playing with and taking care of our boy! We really appreciated all the pictures and notes she left about him while we were gone.”
“Once again Kevin did great with my fraidycat - it only took a couple of days for the fur babe to come out to greet him and start asking for pets. I think they are good friends now! Thanks again 🙌🏼”
“Valeriya is reliable and great with my kitten. I love knowing that my little one will be played with and snuggled while I’m gone. Can’t recommend her enough”
“Julia was amazing! My cat George can be grumpy and shy, but she was completely up for the challenge and by the end, even gained his trust and got some pets in! Not only that, we are in the middle of a move and she handled the chaos (and 2 unexpected 50+ lb packages) like a champion! So thankful to have someone we can trust 💜”
“The kitties love Julia -- even the shy one. I love the reports and photos. Always feel confident when I leave the kitty's in Julia's care. We are very happy repeat customers.”
About: I’ve owned 3 dogs in my adult life and love them all like my children, friends always call me to babysit. Weekly baths, treats, and definitely adventures! I’m currently working remote part time with flexible hours so I have a lot of free time for pup play! I travel all over the city to explore the parks with my Dalmatian so I will definitely be doing the same with other pups! I have one male Dalmatian (loves friends) and our apartment is pup proofed for safety! We do let pup on the furniture but no playtime on the furniture, only lay. We stick to feeding schedules, twice daily. I currently work from home so I have all the time to play with the puppies! And if I’m not watching multiple we will definitely be going to the park! I’ve proofed my apartment for safety and I’m a minimalist so I don’t keep anything laying around that they could get to! All dog food is away as well.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Belltown
“Andy is super flexible and willing to work with me on drop offs and pick ups. I never have to worry about Murray when Andy has him. And when I get Murray back from Andy he is always happy and calm.”
“Luciana was simply amazing. She took the time to meet our puppy in advance and consider fit with other dogs she watches, then took amazing care to integrate him with her "pack". She was extremely communicative and shared many pictures each day. She was very thoughtful in getting to know our dog and provide conditions and guidance that brought out the best in him.”
“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!”

“Thu was wonderful with our pup! She was our hero, stepping up and watching him after a last minute cancellation! She took Bodie on so many adventures and it was so evident he was cared for a loved all day. We would love to have her watch him again!”
About: I grew up with pets, from large to small. My sibling and friends always rely on me fostering their dogs and cats. I work from home and won’t leave your pets alone. My husband and I work full time from home, so your pets will always be attended to. They will pretty much hang out with us while we go about our day. My husband starts walking all of the dogs at around 8am. I will open my fenced yard at midday for a midday pee break. My husband will come back at around 6:30pm to give all of the dogs another walk. We usually feed the dogs their morning and evening meals after they come back from their walks. We will open the yard again before bed for a late night pee break.
“Winter had a blast with Alessandra and her dog Baxter! It was clear that she cared very well for my dog throughout the stay and we'll definitely stay with her again in the future!”
“Erica was incredible with my higher need, anxious golden! She was very understanding of her food allergies and patient when she had separation anxiety! She sent multiple updates & kept me informed throughout the stay. Will be staying with her again!”
About: Recently retired and petless at the moment, although I have almost always had a dog. I enjoy getting to know the personalities and needs of dogs and participating in their daily care needs, whether walking for exercise or potty breaks, socializing at home or the park, or ensuring they are fed and cared for when you aren’t available. I live in Belltown, so I’m available in adjacent neighborhoods of LQA, SLU, or downtown areas. Recently retired so finding ways to contribute after my career in education and academic administration. I’m active and in my late 50s with a flexible schedule. Happy to chat or negotiate for ongoing clients. I am committed to protecting, caring for, and understanding your pet and I value being entrusted with the care of this member of your family.
“Jade was amazing! We got lots of pics throughout the day and she went above and beyond to try and get our picky puppy to eat! We would love to have Bodie stay with her again!”
“Ozzie seemed to be comfortable with Purbasha . He’s usually an anxious pup with new people but he was comfortable and really happy over there. She sent regular updates throughout the day and he was one happy pup when I pick him up! :)”
About: With 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities, I bring a calm, confident presence, and deep understanding of animal behavior and support. Whether it’s energetic puppies who need love, socialization, and playtime, or senior pets who require patience, gentle handling, and medication support—I’ve done it all with compassion and consistency. I treat every pet like family and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness above all else. From long walks and enrichment play to cuddles and routine updates, I’m here to provide dependable, loving care you can trust while you’re away. Pet care is a meaningful part of my weekly routine, and I make it a priority to ensure your pets get the attention and consistency they need. I work Monday through Thursday from 9–5, but I offer flexible availability outside of those hours—including early mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, playtime, or overnight care, I’m happy to tailor my schedule to fit your needs. I also work with families, which provides extra support and ensures your pet always has someone dependable around when needed. Your pet’s comfort and routine are important to me, and I’ll work with you to make sure they feel safe, seen, and well cared for. I tailor my care to match each pet’s unique needs, routines, and personality—whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. In your home: I prioritize keeping your pet’s environment familiar and comforting. I follow your routines closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, walks, litter box care, or quiet time. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for in their own space, and I also respect your home as if it were my own—clean, secure, and well-maintained throughout my visit. In my home (if offered): Pets have access to cozy, pet-friendly spaces with plenty of love and attention. I create a calm environment, offer enrichment and playtime, and ensure they feel comfortable and included. Whether your pet is social or prefers their own space, I adjust the setup to suit their needs. No matter the location, I always send regular updates, photos, and notes so you feel confident your pet is happy and in good hands!
“We are from out of town and were traveling with our mini golden doodle. Abbigail watched our Bella so we could go to the Mariners baseball game. Her location was very convenient for drop off / pick up before and after the game and she made it so easy by meeting us outside her apartment. She was super sweet and sent me lots of photos during the 5 hours she had Bella. We are in need of a dog sitter in the Seattle area and will definitely use Abbigail the next time we are in town with Bella.”
About: I may be new to Rover, but I’m far from new to caring for dogs. I’ve spent years looking after my own pup and pet sitting for friends and family, all out of a genuine love for animals. For me, this isn’t a side hustle; it’s something I truly enjoy. I have a Shih Tzu of my own named Cooper, who is my whole world. When it comes to walks, I’m a firm believer in dog-centered outings. Want to sprint? Let’s go. Need five minutes to thoroughly investigate that one bush? Take your time. We move at your dog’s pace, in your dog’s direction, because that’s what makes a walk genuinely enriching, not just exercise. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I’ll treat them exactly like I treat Cooper, like family. You can expect regular photo updates if I’m watching your pup, I know firsthand how hard it is to be away from your baby and how it can put a damper on your trip thinking about them missing you. I work from home full-time, which means your pet gets attention throughout the entire day, not just before and after a 9-to-5. No long stretches alone, no waiting until evening for a walk. I’m based in Lower Queen Anne and live in a cozy apartment with my boyfriend and our Shih Tzu Cooper. No children, no yard, but don’t let that last part worry you. Cooper and I do at least one 2.5-mile walk every day, and if I’m watching your dog, they can expect the same. Queen Anne has wonderful walkable streets and green spaces, so there’s plenty to explore.
“Pablo and Patricia were amazing! They were able to watch Bear on very short notice, were super kind and communicative, and took great care of him. I really appreciate them helping out last minute. Thank you both!”
“Lizzy helped us out when we were in a bind last week, and she provided daycare three days in a row for our 15-week-old puppy. Maya is naturally high in anxiety and doesn't take well to strangers, but she warmed up to Lizzy instantly and seemed to come home in high spirits every night. We will absolutely be using Lizzy for all of our puppy-related needs (doggy daycare, boarding for weekend trips, etc.) - she has been so accommodating, communicative, and flexible with scheduling, and we're so glad we met her through Rover!”

About: I've been caring for dogs for nearly 20 years. Growing up with three family dogs taught me how to care for pets through every stage of life. From daily walks and playtime to swimming, feeding, and plenty of affection. I also grew up in a neighborhood full of dogs and regularly walked, checked in on, and cared for neighbors' pets while their families were away. Friends and family have continued to trust me with their pets over the years, and for four years I lived with my roommate's dog, helping with daily care and treating him like he was my own. I'm comfortable following routines, adapting to different personalities and energy levels, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. As a freelance photographer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm typically available Monday through Friday between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. for walks and drop-in visits, and I'm often able to accommodate weekend requests as well. Whether your dog is ready for a long walk or your cat just needs some company and care while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. You can also expect thoughtful updates and plenty of photos during each visit. I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy while you're away! I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll always respect your space, follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, and care for your home with the same attention and respect I would my own. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. Whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning up after walks, scooping the litter box, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: I’ve cared for animals most of my life. I grew up with a dog who is now 18 years old, so I’m very familiar with the patience and consistency required to care for pets through every stage of life, including senior care. A few years ago an orange stray cat showed up at my door and decided to stay. Since then I’ve become very much a cat person as well. Caring for her taught me a lot about earning an animal’s trust and working with different personalities, especially with independent or cautious cats. I also enjoy interacting with pets beyond basic care. I’ve trained my cat to do several tricks and she even uses communication buttons, which has been a fun way to engage her mentally and build a strong bond. Overall, I’m attentive, patient, and very observant of animal behavior. I try to understand each pet’s personality and routine so they feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I work in tech and have a relatively flexible schedule, which allows me to plan pet visits throughout the day. Because my work is not strictly tied to a fixed schedule, I’m usually able to accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits depending on what a pet needs. I’m generally available on weekdays and weekends for drop-ins or walks, and I try to keep my schedule manageable so I can give each pet proper attention rather than rushing between visits. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any specific habits your pet has. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and body language so I can respond appropriately, especially with shy or anxious animals. I also make sure doors, gates, and food storage are secure and that the home is left clean and tidy after each visit. I provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well. My goal is to make sure pets are comfortable, well cared for, and stress-free while their owners are away.
“Emily has walked our dog several times over the past month or so and has been so good with him. He is a little nervous around strangers, and she is kind and patient and he has grown to be comfortable around her. I also appreciate her communication, promptness, and friendliness.”
About: Hi, I’m Jessica! I have grown up with all sorts of animals: dogs, cats, rabbits, fish and cows. Currently, I am an Aunt to one energetic golden retriever and 2 cats. Over the past 5 years I have watched dogs and cats in the city for friends and co workers and would love to watch your fur baby too! I have experience with caring for dogs with anxiety and elderly pets. I am a pretty active person who loves hiking and checking out new places in the city. I work full time from home. Usually my work hours are set in CST so I start early and end early afternoon, leaving a very flexible schedule with lots of time and energy to spend with your pets! I am very easy to communicate with and love spending time outside. I am easy to work with whether it’s for a quick check in, walks while you are away or reliable boarding. I live in an apartment but there are fenced in pet areas on the property. I also own a vehicle to take pets to the park, drop off/pick up or sitting at your home. I have worked in hospitality for over 15+ years. I know exceptional care is all about trust, attention to detail, and personalized service. I’ll treat your beloved pets with the same level of care and dedication we provide to guests at our five star properties.
About: I am Jinok, and my husband David and I truly care about every dog we look after. We treat each pup like part of our own family, taking the time to understand their unique needs, routines, and personalities. I work as a freelancer, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule, and David is retired, so he is also home and available throughout the day. This means your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care. We have experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who may need a gentler pace, medication, or extra comfort. We are patient, calm, and confident with all temperaments, and we are familiar with basic training techniques to help reinforce good behavior during their stay. Whether your dog needs playtime, cuddle time, or simply a calm and loving presence while you’re away, we are here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved every step of the way. As a retired pet lover, David has the time and flexibility to give your pet the care, attention, and companionship they deserve. He will treat your pet like family, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they are in loving and reliable hands. When caring for pets in a client’s home, We prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in their daily routine. We make sure pets have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise, and a clean, cozy environment. We follow any special instructions regarding diet, medications, or behavior needs to ensure each pet’s health and well-being. In addition, We provide companionship through playtime, walks, and affection, so pets feel loved and secure while their owners are away. We keep a close eye on their behavior and health, communicating updates to clients so they have peace of mind. Our goal is always to treat every pet as if they were my own—reliable, loving, and attentive care in a familiar, stress-free environment.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and grew up around dogs of all sizes. I helped care for and train my parents 2 dogs and I have experience assisting with taking care of previous roommates dogs. I currently pet sit for friends and family when they are out of town. I’m free mornings and afternoons on weekdays (can be available in the evenings if needed) and have flexible availability on weekends for pet care. I can care for your pet in your home by taking them out for bathroom breaks, taking them out of walks, playing with toys, feeding them on schedule, administering any medications, and offering lots of pets!
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. Over the past three years, I've helped raise and care for three family dogs, including puppies, and I've regularly looked after dogs for family members and friends. Those experiences have taught me how to care for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether a dog enjoys long walks, lots of playtime, or simply taking things at a slower pace, I'm patient, dependable, and happy to adapt to what makes them most comfortable. While I'm new to Rover, I'm committed to providing every dog with the same care, attention, and respect I'd give my own. I currently work part-time, so I have the most availability Monday through Thursday, occasionally Fridays and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and many evening walks. I keep my Rover calendar up to date and appreciate booking in advance whenever possible. Once your walk is scheduled, you can count on me to arrive on time, communicate clearly, and give your dog the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. If my availability ever changes, I'll let you know as soon as possible. I treat every dog as if they were my own because I understand the trust that comes with caring for someone's pet. Safety is always my top priority, and I carefully follow each owner's instructions and routine. I'm patient with shy dogs, energetic with playful dogs, and always adapt to each dog's personality and comfort level. I'll communicate throughout the visit with updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Ana really saved us with a last minute booking! She did an incredible job with our chaotic golden retriever puppy and was a true expert with her. She sent the most thoughtful pictures while I was at work and was so communicative. We'll absolutely be booking with her again- thank you so much Ana!”
“Shaina went above and beyond on her walk with Maxi. She took him to a nearby park and he looks like he had so much fun!! Very thankful also for her accommodation to my last minute bookings :)”
“Ponyo was so caring! She kept me apprised of her arrival, throughout the visit, and end times. She followed all of the instructions from our meet & greet, gave meds and put the thundershirt on my dog. My dog was not easy for Ponyo’s first visit because there was a pending storm and thunder. I got home several hours after this passed and the dog was doing fine by then. Thank you Ponyo!”
“We have a fear aggressive dog toward strangers so we were nervous about introducing him to someone on Rover. Juliette agreed to help us introduce slow and do a few casual meet ups at first. She was sooo flexible and willing to do whatever our dog was comfortable with! Her calm demeanor really helped! After a few meet ups, our dog let someone in his house and take him on a talk for the first time in YEARS. Juliette was so patient with him and worked hard to make him feel comfortable with giving his space and treats. She definitely has experience with reactive dogs. She is so sweet to him and has done an amazing job and we are so grateful for her!”
“Akiko helped us out for a week with doggy daycare for our puppy Zoe. She was super communicative, sent lots of great photo and video updates, and did a great job making sure Zoe had an adventure-filled day around the neighborhood! We would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“We were so appreciative that Alison was able to help us on short notice while our regular dog walking crew was out of office! She was kind and responsive and a great fit for our puppy Leo.”
“Heather did an excellent dog with our nervous, reactive dog. She knew just how to handle him as soon as she met him, and I could see her building trust with him. She gave us some great tips on how to help improve his behavior. She was friendly, professional, and responsive, and I look forward to working with her again. I know our little guy is in good hands!”
About: Growing up, I was surrounded by cats, birds, and other animals, which gave me a deep love and understanding of pets of all kinds. I’m naturally drawn to animals, they sense it too, and tend to feel comfortable and relaxed around me quickly. I love being outdoors and go on walks regularly, so your dog will get plenty of fresh air and exercise. Since I can’t have my own pet right now, caring for yours is genuinely something I look forward to your animal won’t just be watched, they’ll be loved. I’m attentive, calm, and reliable, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and safe. I’m currently on a flexible schedule with plenty of free time, which means your pet gets my full attention throughout the day. I enjoy going on walks regularly, so dogs in my care will get outdoor time and exercise daily. I live in a cozy apartment in downtown Seattle where your pet will feel safe and comfortable. I’m calm and attentive by nature, which helps animals settle in quickly. I keep my space clean and pet-friendly, and I’ll always communicate with you — sending photos and updates so you feel connected to your pet even when you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and safety is my top priority.
About: I have spent my whole life caring for animals! My family at one point owned a small independent pet store, where we adopted out rescues: dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I was raised with rabbits and guinea pigs as well, and I'm very knowledgeable about rabbits in particular. I love cats and I know how to handle many special care needs they may have. I have several times gone through the process of caring for a pet in end of life and can handle seniors very well. I also have two immediate family members who ate veterinary technicians and one close relative who is a veterinarian specializing in small animals, all of whom I am available to contact should any problems arise. I promise to treat your animal family exactly as I treat my own--with gentle care, affection, and attention. I am currently between positions and am able to handle any routines. I will be moving to part time work in the future, at which point I will communicate any schedule changes. I am very willing to go on long walks with dogs and to clean up after them. If you are out of town for an extended period I can come do walks as well as get some good social time in for dogs. I am also very willing to come spend time with your cats (even if they just want to be in the same room), as I know my own cats get lonely if they don't see people enough while I am out of town.
“Melissa took great care of Ricky, who can be a challenge to walk. She thought ahead to bring extra potty bags, was right on time, and walked him extra long. Thanks!”
About: I have been around animals since I was in diapers, and pet sitting since I can remember. First for family, then for friends. I have experiences with large dogs (my aunt has two mastiffs), smaller dogs, cats of all shapes and sizes, and even the occasional reptile. I enjoy the playtime and companionship just as much as my furry friends. I am working full-time, transitioning to a lighter work load in the next few months. That being said, I usually have flexibility during the day for a mid-day walk and I always have time in the early morning and early evening. I also spend a lot of time in the city so I can usually be booked during weekends as well. I do not have any pets so I have a perfect home to give your pet undivided attention. No yard but I live a block from Central Park so lots of fun awaits us just around the corner.

“Carolyn was a fabulous sitter! My dog had the absolute best time going to the dog park daily, hanging out with her dog, and getting lots of love cuddling on the couch. She sent lots of fun pictures and videos the whole time, so we felt super confident and at ease knowing our dog was in great hands. Definitely the best Rover experience I've had :)”
“Emily has watched Phil twice now and she has been so good with him. he gets so exited to leave with her, not even giving us a look back. which makes us feel comforted, knowing he’s in a space he enjoys. thanks for loving on him!”
“Catherine was fantastic! She asked a lot of questions to make sure she had all the info she needed and even walked with me and Molly around the block as a meet and greet before. Molly had a fantastic time at the Seattle center and being out and about!”
“Marden took great care of our dog and was very flexible with drop off and pickup times. He sent us photos and updates and made sure our dog was comfortable and happy during her stay. Will definitely be boarding with him again!”
“Isabella and Gui were the best hosts! Bobo truly had his own vacation in form of dog parks and couch snuggles. Your pup would be lucky to be cared by them!”
About: As a 4th‑year Informatics student at the University of Washington, I’m naturally detail‑oriented and dependable — but my real foundation in pet care comes from growing up with 20+ breeds and species of animals. I’ve spent my whole life learning how different personalities communicate, what helps them feel safe, and how to build trust at their pace. I currently live with three cats, so I’m especially tuned in to the little things: body‑language shifts, routine preferences, and comfort cues. Whether I’m caring for a cat or a dog, I focus on creating a calm, predictable day — fresh food and water, clean spaces, gentle enrichment, and companionship that matches their energy. Every pet I care for gets the same patience, warmth, and respect I give my own. I’m a part‑time UW student and part‑time worker, so my schedule is steady and predictable. I build pet care into my daily routine — morning and evening check‑ins, fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, walks or playtime, and calm companionship. Weekly, I make sure pets get extra enrichment, light grooming, and a tidy, comfortable space. No matter how full my week is, your pet’s routine stays consistent and cared for. I share my apartment with three cats, so the environment here is naturally calm, pet‑friendly, and set up with animals in mind. There are plenty of cozy resting spots, clean spaces, and enrichment areas that keep pets comfortable and stimulated. Living with multiple cats has taught me how to maintain a peaceful, well‑managed home where routines stay consistent and every pet has room to feel safe and relaxed. Whether I’m caring for your cat or your dog, they’ll be in a space that’s warm, tidy, and designed with animals’ comfort in mind.
“My 2 year old Springer Spaniel Boxer mix, Edie, had a wonderful time with Jana and her family! When I normally leave Edie at her doggy daycare to travel, she barely eats and seems anxious when I come to pick her up. Not the case this time! Edie ate all the food I had packed for her along with all the treats! She loved running around and puppy style wrestling with Hazel! Jana gave me updates twice a day with pictures and videos of the ladies playing. I truly do believe that Edie had a dog vacay with Hazel and Jana!”
About: I called my dog my sister until I was 11. She and I did everything together! A bond that was truly one of the greatest is loving an animal! I currently work full time but I am available in the mornings and evening times for 2 meals a day if needed and long walks in the morning and night!! I have a fenced yard a 3000 square foot house with no other animals! I don’t have too much furniture in my house currently! I do have a deck that’s covered as well!
“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!”
“Rand took incredible care of our dog! He’s a big, energetic chocolate lab and Rand kept him safe, fed, and so happy! We will absolutely be coming back to her as long as she’s available!”
“Kandice was an incredible care giver for my sweet Sidney. She sent lots of pictures and videos of him having the time of his life running around with his new friends. She treated him like he was another family member. Could not have asked for a better experience for my first night away from my baby. Will definitely be back!”
“Philip was so good with our first doggy (1 yr old puppy) and his care was excellent with our second (3yr old choc lab). Steve had lovely park walks, mental stimulation and came back very happy doggie. Highly recommend!”
“At the risk of never being able to book her again because she is so popular, Ponyo is the best dog sitter on this site! She is like a dog whisperer, she will text me and tell me 'Aspen or Stella is trying to tell me something I know it they are doing this or that, do you know what they want?' She is always right, I don't expect the sitter to do everything I do for my pets (just happy when they're taken good care of) but my dogs still have expectations lol so they are wanting their usual mid afternoon treat or something crazy. Once she even went to the store because I forgot to pack one of these snacks. My most recent visit was for my daughter's wedding and I was still in town but was going too be busy for my dog's needs so I booked Ponyo well in advance. Coming up to the date my older dog got cancer on her arm and it was not pretty! I asked her if she would still be comfortable watching her, knowing it wasn't necessary but preferred, she said she was really okay with it. Well in that week it grew to an even uglier mess and bless her heart, she took care of her like she was her own pup. After my Aspen had her arm amputated, Ponyo came to my house with a little get well gift and to visit her, even bringing her children which was special treat for Aspen. You just don't get more love from a sitter than this!! I cannot recommend Ponyo enough, 100 stars!!”
About: I've spent years caring for all kinds of animals—from dogs and cats to reptiles and small mammals—and have fostered both short- and long-term pets, helping every one of them find a loving forever home. Since I work from home, your pup will rarely be alone. We enjoy walks along the water, lots of playtime, and indoor adventures in our building's dog-friendly play area. My sidekick is Georgia, my English Bulldog, who has never met a dog she didn't love. She's playful, cuddly, and always happy to make new friends. My goal is simple: keep your dog safe, active, loved, and spoiled with attention while you're away—so you can relax knowing they're having a vacation too!
“Lily was awesome with our big German shepherd. She sent good updates and our Ruby came back happy as ever. Will definitely book for future visits. Thank you!”
“Alexis watched my (very energetic) Goldendoodle Leo over the holidays and she was amazing! I got lots of pictures and updates, giving me peace of mind while I was gone. I will definitely use her in the future, and highly recommend her to others. Thanks again Alexis!!”
“Cheryl was great with my dog Bean! She scheduled a meet up to talk through everything about him and meet him. She also gave great updates every day on how he was doing. He seemed very comfy with her and we would love to have her watch him again!”
