“Sitter was super nice, place is super clean and has a backyard for dogs to play. She took great care of my dog he seemed happy in all the pics and when I picked him up. I’m glad to find a sitter I trust!”
“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!”
“Always happy Winston is with Sofia when we are away! Sofia accommodates our schedule so well and takes the best care of Winston. It has been a great match for everyone!”
About: Over the years, my husband and I have shared our lives with all kinds of dogs: farm dogs, little dogs, a Great Dane in a studio apartment, and now our Mini Australian Shepherd. We have learned and refined our dog ownership skills over time, finally investing in professional training for both our dog and ourselves in 2025. That experience shaped the kind of care I offer today. I believe dogs thrive with clear structure, consistency, and calm communication. I strive to provide the kind of boarding experience I wish I could find for my own dog, where training, routines, and boundaries are respected while you're away. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my day. We have a large, fully fenced backyard, daily walks, and a very friendly Mini Australian Shepherd who enjoys canine company. Your dog won't be left alone for a typical workday. I do leave the house for school drop-offs and pick-ups, errands, or weekend activities. Dogs should be comfortable being alone for a few hours. Because I have both a young child and my own dog, I only accept dogs that: -Are friendly with children and other dogs. -Are up to date on vaccinations and flea prevention. -Can comfortably settle into a family home.
“Felix gave regular detailed updates about Monty’s stay with him! He made sure Monty had everything he needed and sent pictures of his days. I appreciated the dedication!”
“Ellie was a fantastic host to our husky Pepper. She is extremely attentive and made sure that Pepper got enough daily exercise and also plenty of snuggles during their downtime. We love that Pepper gets along so well with Ellie’s sweet dog Bear. Overall our dog had a great time and would absolutely book with Ellie in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Finding sitters who truly care about your dog is tough, but Kelly and Karen exceeded all expectations. Tony is usually a bit anxious, but Kelly makes him feel better. Their communication was excellent, and gave me update(pic/vidoes)about Tony during i was on my vacation. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of my boy…”
“Maria took great care of Scout and gave him lots of love and attention and took him on nice walks. She is A#1! Highly recommend! I wouldn't hesitate to leave Scout with her anytime.”
“Phillip and his family created the most loving and relaxing environment for Grouter’s stay with them. He was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. Grouter had a great time and I had a wonderful vacation knowing my pup was in great hands!”
“Gabby was warm and very personable. We did a meet & greet with her family and dog and felt very comfortable with everyone. She took great care of Maya, and we love that she's in our neighborhood. We will definitely contact Gabby when we go out of town next time.”
“Sheena did so well with my two kiddos! Sterling can be a bit of a handful--he has anxiety and special needs (and is a bit of a grumpy old man). I can tell that she followed the most important directions I gave her based on his condition when I picked them up, I am very grateful. 🙂”
“Cathleen took excellent care of our dog. Pictures and updates multiple times a day. Excellent fast easy communication. Cathleen was also so helpful and flexible when our flight was delayed. Will use again!!”
“Jessica was an amazing dogsitter for our pup who stayed with her for a full week. Jessica communicated with us often while our dog was with her and cared for him as if he was her own dog. It's clear she has a love for dogs and a lot of experience caring for them. Jessica's care gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were on vacation. I would fully recommend Jessica without any reservations. ★★★★★”
“Don truly cares for dogs and is flexible and easy to work with. He watched our senior schnauzer for a week and was very attentive to the needs of an older dog. He has had several of his own and obviously loves the companionship. Thanks Don!”
“Our old dog was hard to leave as he is getting very close to the end. He made it through with Chris, and we are very grateful. Chris was communicative about Bravo’s missteps and let me know when all was well too and sent reassuring pictures. He was accommodating about drop and pick up as well.”
“Absolutely had the best experience with Anna! She took the best care of our Rex. She sent me tons of picture updates showing all the walks, naps, meals, and fun times they had. I sure appreciated every update and photo and it was totally worth every penny. I will be calling Anna again first next time I need the best of the best dog nannies for my little Rex. Thanks a million times over Anna!!!”
“Tiffany was awesome! She gave cal plenty of play time, and sent me updates regularly. She clearly has a passion for animals, and her house is a haven for my #1 guy”
“I loved knowing that I was dropping Buster off to Rose and Bodhi for a fun week of activity and adventure. Rose provided the perfect amount of updates to show me that Buster was being well taken care of. I like that she wasn't just dog sitting him at her home, but he got to meet other friends and go to the dog park. A vacation for everyone!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats throughout my life and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. As a cat owner myself, I currently share my home with three cats, including an orange tabby who keeps life entertaining. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and attention to detail when caring for animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm and reliable companion nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Qian was wonderful with my two high energy pups! She was super communicative and sent a bunch of pictures with updates. I highly recommend Qian and will rebook in the future!”
“Desiree & Lucas are amazing! They came to meet Nebula first and they are just the coolest humans. It's clear they love pets and it matters to them that your baby is happy and comfortable. Even though Nebula can be tough to win over, they managed to do it in just a few visits. We're definitely going to be repeat customers!”
“Victoria took such incredible care of our cat! Our cat is very shy with people sometimes but she had no issues at all with Victoria, which speaks volumes about her care and comfort level with cats! We received photo and video updates with each visit, and despite being away for a few days, we never had to worry about our cat because we knew she was being taken care of!”
“Ana did a great job! My cats are on the skittish and shy side when it comes to strangers, and the fact that one of them was comfortable enough to greet her was a huge plus! It'll take time for them to adjust, but Ana's patience and calm demeanor makes for a perfect combination for anyone looking for a cat sitter.”
“Joyce was great with my two cats and clearly enjoys being around pets. She was reliable, showed up on time, and took plenty of photos to show me how the cats were doing.”
About: I first adopted a cat 7 years ago, and his name was Ren. He was an older cat who had FIV. At the time of adoption, he was very malnourished. I was able to build up his trust in me and rehabilitate him to have a great coat and healthy weight. Due to his FIV, he also frequently needed various medication. I grew very comfortable giving him different medications, including an inhaler, as he needed it. While he did pass away from cancer recently, caring for him gave me a ton of experience with a cat who needed immense and frequent care. We still have our other cat Kirra that I care for, who is a very normal cat. I am confidant I can help out with your cat as well!
“Minerva did an amazing job taking care of Luna! She was very responsive and provided such fun and detailed updates and photos during her check-ins. Luna seemed very happy and received lots of attention and cuddles from Minerva.”
“Rebecca is an all star. Her communication was perfect; she was competent and reliable; and I felt completely at ease knowing that my cats were in such good hands. I highly recommend Rebecca!!!”
“Amanda did a wonderful job caring for my two cats while I was out of town! They’re normally quite shy with new people but warmed up to her right away. Her communication was excellent and she sent great photos and updates. I highly recommend her for any cat sitting needs!”
“Lauren is a wonderful sitter! She sends incredible pictures of my cat and makes sure to give him lots of special attention so I know he’s well cared for 😊”
About: Hi! I'm Jason, a devoted cat parent to two amazing cats—a 9-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl. I absolutely love cats and enjoy spending time with them every day. I'm patient, attentive, and understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine. Whether your cat loves playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion around, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away. I'll also provide plenty of updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is in good hands.
About: I have a huge love for animals! I’ve been looking to take this opportunity as a way to spend more time with dogs/cats/etc, and create a healthier work/life balance. I’m super active and love getting outside to walk and want to take some animals with! Even though I may not have specific training, I always make sure others animals are safe to play around when in public and am always gentle when approaching/greeting new ones. I work Wednesday-Saturdays from 7:30am-5:30pm. I’m happy to sleep over, stop by for check ins, or take walks! I have a very reliable car and don’t mind driving whatsoever, nor do I mind getting up early or staying up late. My schedule is 100% set so I will always be available Saturday afternoon-late Tuesday. I have an 11 year old Labradoodle named Milo. He’s my first dog but he’s been a ball of love and an absolute blessing in my life. I unfortunately do not have a fenced backyard but a very safe neighborhood where I am constantly out on walks. I also live very close to a private beach/and two private parks. The beach and one park is fully fenced and plenty of room to explore and run, lots of other friendly dogs live in the area so there’s always more friends around. I always make sure dogs/cats have extra water and are fed on time as well as never leaving without giving them lots and lots of attention/playtime/ treats.
“Kymberly was fantastic! She took such good care of our 17 yo kitty that takes multiple meds as well as our house...she left everything spotless and had wonderful communication the whole time we were gone to let us know how Lucy was doing. Already booked her for next time!”
About: I have had and taken care of cats for my whole life. My own, and friends and families. All of my cats have been rescues, some with anxiety disorders, and others with trust issues. Because of these experiences I really understand what it takes to build a relationship, and build trust with cats. I will have have patients with them if they need it, or I am so happy to just give cuddles to a needy cat.
“Liza is amazing! She’s taken care of my cat Phoebe a few times while I’ve been out of town. Phoebe loves her, and I know Phoebe is in great hands. Liza also picked up some packages for me that were delivered when I was gone, which was very helpful. I will definitely book Liza again.”
“Courtney always does a great job watching our cats. I feel like we hit the jackpot with her - she’s incredibly friendly, communicative, and passionate about making sure the cats feel comfortable with her. I never worry when we go out of town because I know they’re in good hands!”

“Lily had a great time at daycare with Lindsay and Steven! They have a lovely house with a yard for the dogs to play, and I could tell they gave great attention to lily all day.”
About: I have experience dog sitting for friends and want bring that experience to the community. I’m excited to meet your furry little friends in Seattle! My schedule is currently flexible so mid-day visits are no problem. I’m happy to swing by whenever needed, whatever I can do to help your pet! I will be giving your pet my full, undivided attention and make sure that their every need is attended to. Any unique preferences will be paid close attention to.
“We booked Felix on short notice for evening daycare, and he was very thoughtful in assessing whether our dog would be a good fit for his setup. We really appreciated the detailed updates and feedback throughout the stay. Felix has a strong understanding of dog behavior and group dynamics, which gave us peace of mind, and our somewhat nervous dog seemed to fit right in with his pack. Thanks Felix!”
“We’ve been hesitant to use rover and drop off our 5 month old puppy with a relative stranger, but Stephen put us at ease right away! He is kind, communicative and responds instantly. His dog and the few other pups he has on any given day are playful and sweet. We will be asking Stephen to watch our dog when the need arises. Thanks!!!”
About: I’ve watched pets since I was about 10 years old. Lots of experience with drop-ins, overnight stays, and longterm petsitting/housesitting. Am able to administer shots to pets, and whatever one may need. Have great references! Please feel free to reach out if you think this might be a good fit. Thank you for your time🙂 Just moved into my first apartment in Seattle! Working part time as a server at a restaurant in Fremont & am taking classes at Shoreline Community College. Have a lot of free time particularly during the day and work short hours which goes well with watching pets. I am from the San Juan Islands originally, so my pets have a big yard to play around in. I make sure that my pets are active and getting proper care. As for other people, I do what is requested whether that is just spending time with their pet/s, or walking them, or just checking in on them. I know that pets tend to get more lonely when someone isn’t around so I love to be there to help out when I can!

“Bacon had so much fun at Matthew's place. He fell asleep on my lap on the way home. This was the first day care for Bacon and the experience was wonderful! We are looking forward to the next stay! Thank you!!!!!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have had them around most of my life. I fostered an adorable pit/lab mix for almost 4 years recently. He has now found his forever home. With his departure, we now have room to care for your furry companions! Living near parks, I’m more than happy to take your dog for walks and follow their usual routine. Feel free to share any specific details about your pup and let me know how I can make their stay comfortable. I work remotely so am at home most days during the day. Happy to follow what your dog ‘s routine and needs. Just let me know. I live in a residential neighborhood with lots of green spaces around the area. I can also take your dog out walking, exploring the park if they are ok walking on the leash.
“Kelsi and Piper are so great! We have a young and very energetic puppy and Kelsi seemed to really bond with him and he came home so tired! Piper, her dog, is the sweetest! Can’t wait to go back!”
“Dad was an amazing doggy daycare host for my 1 year old Golden Retriever. We recieved frequent updates with photos of her at the park and sleeping at his home on the couch. We would definitely make another request in the future. Thank you!”
“I boarded RaKi with Anand for about a week, and I would definitely recommend him as an amazing caretaker. He was very communicative, responsive, and upfront about any concerns he noticed, while still handling everything calmly and confidently which was incredibly reassuring, especially with RaKi being just 4 months old and me being a new pup parent. Anand showed genuine care and love toward RaKi, and he kept me updated regularly with photos and behavior notes. I truly appreciated the attention, transparency, and kindness he put into caring for my puppy. He even sent RaKi home with a couple of toys he enjoyed during his stay, such a thoughtful gesture! Highly recommend Anand!”
“Michelle was great! Our girl was relaxed and sleeping when we picked her up at end of day and smiling in the photo from their walk. We would be happy to have Michelle watch Soleil again in future.”
“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!”
“Sheena did an excellent job providing daycare for my pup, Hati. Hati was able to socialize with other dogs in a more personalized environment, play and be her silly self. This is so important for my partner and I since we work 9-12 hour shifts. Sheena sent us pictures of Hati having fun and an overall review. I’m beyond grateful for her services and would recommend Sheena to anyone.”

“Kali came over in advance to meet our shy pup and has the best calm energy. She came to walk him and he wasn’t having it so they played in the backyard and he warmed up and had a great time. She sent photos and a review right away! Hope Frank will see her again!”
“Doug has only had one dog walker and I was nervous when I had to find someone new, but Lauren is absolutely fantastic and eased any worries I had within moments of meeting her. Doug adores her and is especially excited when she brings her pup Sophie along. I’m fairly certain Doug looks forward to me going to work now so he can hang out with Lauren. 😁”
“Kim has been great to work with. My dog Kona is a little nervous at first but took to her instantly. She’s very communicative and flexible with dealing with changes as they occur. Thanks for taking care of Kona!”
“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!”
About: Hi! I'm Cassie, and I provide dependable, attentive care for both pets and the homes they live in. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you're away by treating your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. My background includes house sitting, pet sitting, managing residential properties, and hosting my own Airbnb, giving me extensive experience keeping homes secure, organized, and well cared for. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, following detailed routines, administering basic medications when needed, watering plants, bringing in mail and packages, and keeping you updated with regular messages and photos. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or simply wants a calm companion nearby, I tailor my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have a flexible schedule, communicate promptly, and pride myself on being dependable, detail-oriented, and respectful of every home I stay in. My goal is for you to return home to happy pets and a home that's exactly as you left it. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Please note that my sweet lemon beagle, Harper, occasionally accompanies for overnight stays with other friendly pets. She is 3 years old, house trained, crate trained and extremely friendly with other pets, children and other people. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I have a 25-pound beagle named Harper, so my days naturally revolve around regular walks, playtime, feeding, enrichment, and making sure she gets plenty of attention and exercise. I'm attentive to routines and understand how important consistency is for helping pets feel comfortable and secure. Beyond caring for my own dog, I have experience house sitting and caring for pets in their own homes, following each owner's instructions closely to maintain their normal schedule. Whether that's walks, meals, medications, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I enjoy making sure pets are happy, relaxed, and well cared for while their families are away. Because I have a flexible schedule, I'm able to provide attentive care throughout the day and keep owners updated with regular messages and photos for added peace of mind. Every pet has a different routine, so I start by learning their schedule, preferences, and any special instructions before the stay. I follow feeding, walking, medication, and exercise routines as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and reduce stress while their owners are away. In your home, I treat both your pets and your property with the utmost respect. I keep the home clean and secure, bring in mail and packages if requested, water plants, and make sure everything is well cared for until you return. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention during walks, keep pets securely leashed unless instructed otherwise in a safe enclosed area, monitor them for any changes in behavior or health, and follow all household rules and emergency instructions. My goal is for you to come home to happy pets and a home that's exactly as you left it.
“Mira walked my pup Peanut who can be a rascal on the leash and did a great job. Also super accommodating with some issues on getting into the building which was much appreciated! 100% would book again!”
“I hired Sam to walk my dog every day for 9 days while I was on vacation. He showed up on time daily and my dog was very happy (I could see them on Ring). I will definitely hire Sam again!”
“As someone who typically works from home, I was incredibly anxious about having to leave my 2-year-old, 85-pound pup, Colin, for the first time while I was away. Finding Edith completely changed everything and gave me total peace of mind. From the very beginning, she was a true professional. She came over for a complimentary meet-and-greet to get to know Colin before our schedule started, and she asked all the right questions to make sure she understood his routine and quirks. Colin is a giant ball of pure energy, but Edith was absolutely amazing with his size and pace. She was so attentive that during a walk, she even noticed when Colin got super excited and immediately recognized that they were passing his best friend’s house! Edith was incredibly reliable, always on time, and great about sending updates when she was on her way. She left the house exactly as she found it, always making sure Colin’s water bowl was topped off and rewarding him with a treat after his walks. Having a walker like Edith made a stressful week feel completely effortless. She is the absolute best, and I hope to use her again and again and again. If you need someone trustworthy, attentive, and great with high-energy dogs, hire Edith!”

About: I've been a dog sitter with Rover for over 7 years and I love every minute of it. I'm so excited to meet you and your pet! About this sitter: Daycare: In my home with myself, boyfriend and puppy James. Must get along with puppies and ideally want to play. We work remotely so will be home all day with your pup and can provide 2-3 walks and yard play time. Overnight: Dogs are welcome to sleep in the bed or wherever they prefer. They’ll be around me, my boyfriend and puppy. Would be ideal if they like to play, and must like puppies. We go on three to four walks a day and play in the yard once or twice a day. My puppy is very high energy so we are active a lot. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs since I was a knee-high. I picked out my first loveable mutt, a German Shepherd, Chesapeake Bay Retriever mix, when I was in 6th grade. Since then I have always had a four-legged friend of my own. Meet my pets: James the miniature schnauzer About my yard Have a fenced front and back yard and I'm able to take your pup outdoors for a walk around the block as often as he/she needs. My experience administering medication Yes, I have had to administer medication to many pets, though I do not have experience with injections. I work full time remotely, and your dog will join me and my puppy on our daily walks and play time in the yard. We love hiking on weekends as well so if they like that let me know! Otherwise we can find other fun things to do. Also big fan of breweries on the weekend so also let me know if you or your dog aren’t comfortable with that many people around, etc. I have a fenced front and back yard and a puppy if my own. Frequent walks and play time. My puppy loves to play a lot so if your dog is high energy that is awesome.
“Katie has great communication and seemed to genuinely enjoy our dog. Anyone can walk a dog, but these are things that make the difference! We will definitely book with her again.”
About: Hi, my name is Kelsi! I am a responsible and active young woman who loves to work hard and be around loving people and loving animals. I am very patient with dogs and love watching them learn and grow. I have a 50 pound dog who is a ball of energy and loves adventures. We walk and run often and get into the mountains as much as possible. We also frequent the dog park, as she loves playing with others dogs. I have also spent a fair amount of time taking care of friends dogs from anywhere as short as a walk to as long as weeks. I am willing and love to work with any and all dogs, and I can't wait to get to know your beautiful family members! I currently walk 4-5 miles a day with my dog. We get out in the morning, for lunch, and evenings. We also go on regular runs and trips to the dog park. We have a very close relationship and she loves to work hard for rewards! I live in a dog friendly house with a small yard and is very close to multiple parks, dog parks and Golden Gardens. I have lots of toys to play with and a cozy environment that my dog loves! She is very good at reading another dogs energy. If your dog loves to play, she will too, and if your dog doesn't love to, she will leave them alone!

“Phillip and his family created the most loving and relaxing environment for Grouter’s stay with them. He was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. Grouter had a great time and I had a wonderful vacation knowing my pup was in great hands!”
“Sheena did so well with my two kiddos! Sterling can be a bit of a handful--he has anxiety and special needs (and is a bit of a grumpy old man). I can tell that she followed the most important directions I gave her based on his condition when I picked them up, I am very grateful. 🙂”
“Don truly cares for dogs and is flexible and easy to work with. He watched our senior schnauzer for a week and was very attentive to the needs of an older dog. He has had several of his own and obviously loves the companionship. Thanks Don!”
“Our old dog was hard to leave as he is getting very close to the end. He made it through with Chris, and we are very grateful. Chris was communicative about Bravo’s missteps and let me know when all was well too and sent reassuring pictures. He was accommodating about drop and pick up as well.”
“Tiffany was awesome! She gave cal plenty of play time, and sent me updates regularly. She clearly has a passion for animals, and her house is a haven for my #1 guy”
“I loved knowing that I was dropping Buster off to Rose and Bodhi for a fun week of activity and adventure. Rose provided the perfect amount of updates to show me that Buster was being well taken care of. I like that she wasn't just dog sitting him at her home, but he got to meet other friends and go to the dog park. A vacation for everyone!”
“As always, Kathryn and Mark take awesome care of Laika. She’s super comfortable there and very happy when we pick her up. We’ll definitely be calling them again!”
“Ali was able to book me on short notice after other plans fell through. She was very responsive and my pup had a wonderful time with her and her family. I'd book with her again.”
“Matthew was so wonderful. He sent fantastic photos throughout my dog’s stay along with daily updates. It was clear my dog felt comfortable and happy with him! This was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter and Matthew made it a great experience. I will use him for all my pet sitting needs moving forward and both my dog and I can’t recommend him enough!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Our dog was so well cared for, and it truly felt like a home away from home. We loved receiving daily photo updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!”
“Diane was awesome! She kept us updated the entire stay and sent us pictures for some peace of mind :) we are so pleased & relieved to know we have a safe place to board Lola for next time!”
“Margaret and Tony gave us the rare gift of peace of mind. From the moment we met them, it was clear how much they genuinely care for animals. They were wonderful with our two dogs—patient, affectionate, and attentive to their routines. While we were out of the country, they kept us updated and made sure our pups felt safe and loved. We came home to dogs who were content, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We couldn’t ask for better sitters.”
“Such kindness and communication while taking care of our two strange dogs, so much appreciated. I was nervous to leave town but from the first hour of departure we knew they both were in good care. Ponyo sent pictures many times daily, told us of the fun (and sometimes naughty) behaviors and took the time to ask questions to ensure they were sufficiently exercised and entertained. Thank you!”
