“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.”

“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!”
“My moose had the best time with Kathryn and Mark! I’ve never boarded her at someone else’s house before and I wasn’t sure how she’d do, but she made herself right at home and had so much fun with the kids. The photos I got were absolutely perfect! Will definitely book again next time I travel. Thank you all!”
“Cathleen was absolutely wonderful. With her enthusiasm and interest in my fur babies, I knew they would be well taken care of. She was very communicative, sending frequent photos and updates - I never worried how they were doing!”
“Jessica was the perfect pup sitter for our little Carl! We received frequent updates and beautiful photos each day. Communication was quick, clear and timely, and pickup and drop off was super easy. We were so happy knowing Carl was having such a relaxing and enjoyable time with Jessica and we would highly recommend!”
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.
“Angela provided my dog with exceptional care! I would highly recommend her services for walks or boarding. My dog came home healthy and happy and Angela responded attentively to any of the questions or concerns I had prior to boarding.”
“Sofia was amazing and super communicative! She loved on my dog so much and made me feel super comfortable leaving her for a long trip abroad. Plus, my dog and her dog got along great as well! She was always sending photos and providing updates when needed. Will be booking again with Sofia for sure!”
“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!”
“Wonderful man! My dog loved him and had a great time. I was nervous leaving my dog with a rover sitter, but Philip kept me updated and sent me pics. I felt at peace knowing Stitch was with someone who truly cared about him.”
“Maiko took such great care of Iggy. She sent so many adorable photos, and it’s clear he loved his time there a lot! It’s always a little nerve-wracking to have my dog stay with someone new but I felt completely at ease with her frequent updates. I would definitely recommend Maiko and her family to take care your dog as well, and I would absolutely book with her again 😁”
“Nathan was amazing with our pup, and provided us with plenty of pictures! It was very obvious that he was an animal lover through and through, and we felt very at ease knowing that he and his family were taking care of him.”
“Anna watched our 16-lb Havanese mix, Fergus, over the holidays, and we would 100% not hesitate to book with her again. She was super responsive in her communications and sent loads of photos, in which it was apparent that Fergus was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Thank you, Anna! We are happy to have found you and will be calling on you again. :)”

“We had a wonderful first Rover experience with Qian! She was super communicative, detail oriented and gave top notch care for our kitty, Gigi. We were away for 11 days and didn’t quite know what to expect using Rover sitting for the first time but we got very thorough updates after each visit and we could tell Gigi loved spending time with Qian from all the sweet pictures and notes she took of their time together. Qian even got her some new treats that Gigi is obsessed with! Highly recommend Qian for kitty care!!”
“Ana took great care of our two kitties while we out on vacation! She was very friendly during our meet and greet and our cats instantly liked her. Ana was able to feed them twice a day and provided photos each time. We came back to happy kitties and a clean home :-)”
“Sabrina was fantastic! She was very prompt for both our drop-off and pickup times, was highly attentive as I explained my cat's care instructions, and overall just has a very kind demeanor with an obvious love for cats. She was super communicative during the 10 days she had my cat and sent pictures and/or videos every single day. She even responded to all my "worried cat dad" questions within about 10 minutes lol. It seemed pretty clear that my cat really enjoyed her stay with Sabrina and she was very happy and in good health when I picked her up. As far as cat-sitting experiences go, it really couldn't have been better! Thank you, Sabrina, I will def be booking you again!!”
About: It's a cat's world, we're just living in it. Your cat gets to decide how close (or far) we are while they're in my care. I love all kitties whether they're cozy snuggle bugs, energetic chaos demons, or brooding Bond villians.
“Rebecca was fantastic! She went above and beyond to make sure my cat was safe and comfortable, and he warmed up to her right away. She provided detailed feedback and adorable pictures. I highly recommend her services.”
“I loved the long descriptions and pictures of our cats, Joyce took great care of them and earned Cheetah’s heart with pets and treats 💕 Joyce also respected Elise’s boundaries, which I appreciate because she is an extra shy kitty. We found them happy, healthy and playful ❤️”
“Desiree and Lucas were the absolute best sitters we could have asked for. Super consistent, great communication, and left us very confident Kitty was in good hands. Kitty had a UTI and they were great about administering her meds and taking care of her litter so that she could start feeling better. Couldn’t recommend more highly!”
“Minerva was excellent with our two cats. She gave detailed daily updates and photos. Even got our shy cat to come out for pets. Will definitely be using her again.”
“Cathleen was so great with my cat Curtis! She sent daily updates and pictures and I could tell Curtis was well taken care of. He also loved playing with her cat Barbara. I will definitely be bringing Curtis back to her place when I go out of town again.”
“Alice was great! She is reliable, consistent and thoughtful. She made sure we got our Rover cards every day and checked in on the best time to visit Jake. Thanks, Alice!”
“Mandi is amazing. She took wonderful care of my shy cat as well as my house! With other sitters my indoor/outdoor cat would stay outside a lot but my cat was super comfy with Mandi and clocked in her daily nap-intensive schedule inside. The house was in great shape upon our return - tidy and in good order. Mandi was a great communicator and sent pics & updates daily. Highly recommend.”
“Rebecca is amazing and took excellent care of our crew. Very kind and thoughtful, great communication and all round cannot recommend more highly. We will be reaching out for future vacations.”
“Stephanie is a go-to sitter for me. I'm always happy when she's available to sit for my kitties and not worried about them when I'm away. She sends me pictures and does a quick check in everyday which I appreciate, and she treats my home like it's her.”
“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've had both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I love animals big and small and there's no pet-related problem that I can't handle! Dogs love my fun energy and positive reinforcement and they feel confident with me. Cats trust my calm demeanor and know they are in charge of all our interactions. As a dog & cat mom, I'm a pro with all aspects of pet care, even the gross parts. It's important to me to stick to your routine as much as possible to give your pet the best walking or sitting experience! All dogs who stay with me at doggy daycare or overnight boarding will get a goodie bag to take home. Let me know ahead of their stay if they have dietary restrictions, allergies, or if we're staying away from treats :) I'm 100% focused on pet care right now and can adapt to your schedule or routine depending on your pet's needs. I spend a few hours with my own pets each day which can flex around your schedule or be combined with time I spend with your pet, if agreed upon ahead of time. My house is a dog wonderland! All furniture is dog friendly and there is a fully fenced, private yard for dogs to access whenever they want. Meals are served in separate rooms to keep everyone safe and happy. Cats are welcome here too - the entire upstairs can be closed off so they can have private space away from my dog with no risk of accidental escapes outside.
“Absolutely fantastic daycare for my little pup Bella! She had so much fun and Caitlin was excellent in both planning and keeping me updated on how she was doing throughout the day! Would definitely recommend especially if you have a younger dog who needs a playmate during a long day at work 🐶”
“Felix has worked so diligently with our Tony and his patience has been such a breath of fresh air. He understands our dogs breed so well and really gets to the root of training so Tony can be the best dog he can be! Felix will continue to be a long term friend and go to for anything Tony wise. Thank you, Felix!”
“Cathleen is a kind and compassionate animal lover! She’s great with my Buggs! They’re an adorable mess and she is charmed by them in the best of ways!”
“Sofia was wonderful! She was super communicative throughout the day and was happy to accommodate some of the specific requests we have for our puppy around feeding and daily routines. We've found with our young GSP that not everyone is aware of some of the crazy that comes with high-energy breeds and puppies, but Sofia was fantastic. Our dog got plenty of exercise and activity, and we would definitely recommend her to anyone, especially if you have a working breed or younger dog.”
“I'm so glad I found Matthew! Our pups are on the anxious side and he has been an amazing person to work with and help them feel at home. We had a successful meet and greet so I could ask a bunch of questions, see his massive backyard, meet his adorable son and get to know his lovely old fur baby. Matthew kept me updated with how they were doing, provided photos throughout the day and was even kind enough to keep them for an extra 30min because I had a work conflict. It's taken us a while to find someone who is chill, reliable, provides a warm home and helps our pups flourish. Matthew is now our go-to daycare and boarding support person.”
“Our dog Dany had a great time during her stay. Lesley was excellent in communicating how she did through the day, and took really good care of her. Lesley's dog Otto was also super friendly and Dany enjoyed all the play time through the day. Looking forward to more stays at Lesley's.”
“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!”
“Julie is an amazing doggie sitter! Our dog loved going to day care at her place for the evening, while we went out to celebrate a friend's birthday. We got pictures and updates throughout his stay with her, they went on a walk, and when we came back we found him super relaxed and happy; us coming back for him was not a big deal for him, he had THAT good a time. Her home is really lovely too. Julie was also really understanding with our changing schedule the day of the stay, and kindly looked after Victor a bit later than originally agreed upon so that we could wait for my friend's birthday cake to arrive :) A truly fantastic experience!”
About: I am comfortable with any dog, no matter the breed, age, activity level, or behavior! If your pup is dog friendly come join us for daycare! I offer pack walks with my pup as well as solo walks! I have experience with senior dogs as well as puppies and various behaviors/temperments! I have volunteered with shelter dogs in the past as well as experience working in daycare facilities and grooming salons! I currently am working as a junior groomer and typically am home all day during my days off unless I have something planned! During daycare we spend lots of time playing and going on adventures! I have all the time and attention to give to the pups! I treat every dog like they are my own! I believe every dog deserves the most respect! I give the dogs the highest level of my attention! I make sure to keep pet parents updated with lots of check ins and cute pictures of their pup! :)
“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.”
“Alba had a great time hanging out with Jenny & Ryan while we explored Seattle. We would absolutely book again if we are back down this way in the future. Thanks again”

“Lauren helped us with a couple last minute dog walks and took great care of our puppy! She gave her extra cuddles and a great walk that left her happily exhausted from the good exercise and sniffs. We appreciated her thoughtful and clear communication and updates. We will definitely work with her again.”
About: I’ve been fostering and caring for cats since I was in first grade, giving me lifelong hands on experience with animals. I also worked at a doggy daycare for 3 and a half years, where I developed a strong understanding of animal behavior, group dynamics, and body language. I had a dog of my own, previously worked at a veterinary clinic, and currently work part-time as a veterinary assistant at an animal shelter. I am currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to spend time and give lots of love to your puppies! I’m available during the weekday after 1 o’clock and then anytime on the weekends I offer dog walking and daytime care, with plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. In a client’s home, I’ll keep their pet’s routine as consistent as possible, follow their normal feeding and walking schedule, and give them plenty of patience and reassurance so they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I live in a first floor apartment with easy outdoor access for regular walks and potty breaks. I don’t currently have any pets, so I can provide a calm, pet free environment for dogs to stay. I’m also happy to accommodate crates or anything else that helps a puppy or dog feel secure.
About: I have 10+ years of experience of owning a high energy Lakeland Terrier. I can handle small and big dogs and we will have fun along the way! I’m currently a stay at home dad of three boys (2 humans and 1 doggo) with a fairly flexible schedule during the day. I’m confident that I can give all the care and attention that your dog needs! I live close to Soundview Playfield and Baker Park to give your dog a proper walk and tons of exercise. I am adaptable to your dogs needs and can follow any instructions to care for them.
About: I absolutely adore all dogs and love to help dog owners give their pets the love and lifestyle they deserve. I have lived with dogs my entire life and consistently pet sat. I’m very organized/punctual and will consistently provide updates on your sweet pup. I’m available for dog walking, play/potty breaks, house sitting, and boarding (provided it is a good fit). Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions! I have a flexible schedule so am available to walk or provide a play/potty break for your pup throughout the work day. I have availability for dog sitting or boarding any day of the week as long as I have 2-3 days of a heads up given. I tailor my care to each specific dog. I’m happy to provide long or short walks, brain/sniff games or fetch! I’m always always always ready to give the pup a snuggle or pets if they enjoy physical touch. At my home I have a small fenced yard that dogs can explore while I am outside with them. I live on a quiet street with a pedestrian first street which is perfect for walks. Dogs are allowed on the couch (we have to have a place to snuggle!) and will be crated when I am gone (never more than 3 hours during the day) and for bed time.
About: I've cared for cats for roughly 10 years and have grown up with them my whole life! I've gotten to learn their routines, quirks, and how to help them feel comfortable when their owners are gone. I've also dog sat for family friends for around 3 years, and loved every second of it! I had a senior dog for some time and have experience giving daily medication. I look forward to providing your pets with the care and attention they deserve! I'm currently working part-time usually in the evenings, but my shifts tend to be short, so I have plenty of free time during the day for pet care. With enough notice, I can also request time off to accommodate longer stays or special needs. I usually prefer caring for animals in their own homes, since it's less of a change for them. I keep a close eye on their comfort and safety at all times, stick to their established routines, keep harmful foods and items out of reach, and make sure doors and gates stay secure and closed.
“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!”
“Always love rebooking with Ray! Very grateful he takes amazing care of my girl! He has great patience with her and always leave great rover cards! Miss having you as one galaxy's permanent walkers! You will never go wrong with booking with Ray!”
“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: 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: Currently offering drop ins (cats and dogs) and dog walks! I have ample availability during the week and would love to hang out with your pet. 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 and Greta the miniature schnauzers 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.
About: My experience with dogs: -obedience training -puppies -energetic breeds -grooming/bathing -giving medication I live in a pet-friendly house with a fenced yard and near Greenlake and I have have hosted many dogs prior. I am an active individual (I teach Martial Arts) and I would rather hang out with animals than just about anything else. I am patient and consistent and will give my full attention to you pet when they are under my care. I am also more than happy to reinforce any training and behavior correction etc. you are working on with your dog. My teaching schedule offers some flexibility and I start my workday at noon during the week. Wednesdays and Sundays I have available and devoted specifically to dog-walking and sitting.
About: We're new to Seattle after moving from North Carolina, and we'd love to meet some new four-legged friends! Between the two of us, we've spent our lives around animals. We both grew up with dogs as beloved family members, and today we share our home with cats and a rabbit. While we adore our own pets, we miss the joy of spending time with dogs and would love to give yours the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Lucas is a former dog trainer with experience understanding canine behavior and reinforcing good habits using positive interactions. Des is happiest with a tennis ball in hand and is always ready for a game of fetch, a long walk, or plenty of belly rubs and cuddles. We enjoy caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to gentle senior companions and everyone in between. We also have experience with cats, rabbits, and other small animals. We're comfortable administering oral medications and have experience giving subcutaneous fluids to senior cats, so we're happy to care for pets with extra medical needs. Although we can't host pets in our apartment, we're available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your home. We'll follow your pet's routine closely, treat your home with respect, and send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing they're in caring, capable hands. Every pet is unique, and we'll make sure yours receives the love, patience, and individualized care they deserve. We can't wait to meet you and your floofy family member! We both work remotely and have flexible schedules which means we can work around your pet's routines and needs. Fitting in multiple visits or walks per day is not a problem. Safety is my #1 priority when it comes to my own pets and it will be with yours as well! Dogs will always be on a non-retractable leash (I have my own, if you do not) and we will be sure to follow whatever house rules you have in place. Cats will never be allowed outside unless that is something you prefer and specifically request.
About: My family and I have had dogs for 15 years now. I currently have two dogs of my own. One is a 3 year old mini golden-doodle and the other a 1 year old mini labra-doodle. I enjoy going on walks, playing with them or even just lounging around if that’s what they feel like doing. I just moved to Seattle with my wife. I currently don’t have a job so my availability is open for anything. Feel free to reach out or ask questions! I’m pretty flexible with whatever you need for care in your home. Just let me know exactly what you need from me to create a fun and safe environment for your pet!
“Carly was great!! Responsive and professional. I made an error and had not updated my new address causing her to go to my old address. Thankful not to far away. She was very understanding and I really appreciated that. Thank you Carly and I will definitely reach out with any future dog care needs.”
About: 40 Years of Loving, Experienced Pet Care 🐾 Animals have been a huge part of my life for 40 years. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, rats, hamsters, lizards, and iguanas, including rescues and animals with special needs. I have experience with medications, insulin injections, health and diet management, and caring for pets who need extra patience and attention. I also worked for NE Vet Hospital for several years, giving me valuable hands-on experience around veterinary care. From energetic puppies to senior pets, shy rescues, and everything in between, I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s individual needs. I’m proud to have many long-term returning clients and would love the opportunity to care for your pets like they’re part of my own family. ❤️🐾 Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I understand how important consistency is for animals, and I’m committed to following your pet’s schedule and individual needs. Whether your pet has specific feeding times, a special diet, requires medication, or needs insulin injections, you can trust me to provide attentive, reliable care and make sure they stay happy, healthy, and comfortable while you're away. 🐾❤️ If I’m caring for your pets in your home, I’m always respectful of your space, routines, and preferences. I follow your instructions carefully and want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your home and pets are in good hands. Just let me know what you need, and I’ll be happy to help! Thank you! 🐾❤️
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.
“Reza was great with our pup. He took such good care of her and really put us at ease while we were on holiday. We highly recommend him. He also sends really lovely pics!”

“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.”
“Rose was an excellent dog-sitter for Pizca! She was communicative and active. She kept us updated of how things were going and too Pizca on multiple walk and even a hike!”
“Don is amazing! He was so patient and kind with our older, shy dog. He clearly loves animals and went out of his way to make sure Bella was comfortable. He was flexible about timing and pleasant to work with. I can't recommend him enough!”
“My moose had the best time with Kathryn and Mark! I’ve never boarded her at someone else’s house before and I wasn’t sure how she’d do, but she made herself right at home and had so much fun with the kids. The photos I got were absolutely perfect! Will definitely book again next time I travel. Thank you all!”
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.
“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!”
“Wonderful man! My dog loved him and had a great time. I was nervous leaving my dog with a rover sitter, but Philip kept me updated and sent me pics. I felt at peace knowing Stitch was with someone who truly cared about him.”
“Maiko took such great care of Iggy. She sent so many adorable photos, and it’s clear he loved his time there a lot! It’s always a little nerve-wracking to have my dog stay with someone new but I felt completely at ease with her frequent updates. I would definitely recommend Maiko and her family to take care your dog as well, and I would absolutely book with her again 😁”
“Nathan was amazing with our pup, and provided us with plenty of pictures! It was very obvious that he was an animal lover through and through, and we felt very at ease knowing that he and his family were taking care of him.”
“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!”
“Luna had a great time with Ali and her family! They were so communicative and I felt so comfortable having her stay with them. Luna had so much fun playing with her dogs as well. I will definitely be a repeat customer! ♥️🙏”
“Tracy is a phenomenal dog sitter! She's took good care of Annie and Maci and was super accommodating when we changed our pickup time. She will definitely be one of my go to sitter in the future!”
“Brenda was great! Peanut was really happy to be there and adapted quickly to her new surroundings. Peanut got a bit of stomach issue but Brenda handle it very professionally. Will definitely lol again!”
“My dog did wonderfully with Eric!! He sent consistent pictures and was super communicative about how my dog was doing. He was great with my quirky goofball and we're planning on coming back!! ☺️”
“Sheena took great care of my dog, Uno. She handled introductions between Uno and her own dog really well. She updated me with photos, and Uno looked like he was having a great time. It was clear he was in good hands and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Sheena to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter.”
“Great sitter! Very accommodating and attentive to my dog, asking lots of questions and giving updates throughout his stay. He looked super relaxed and comfy with them in his update pics. Would definitely book again!”
“Cheryl did an amazing job caring for our puppy! She kept him so active and took him to meet some friendly dogs she knows! She also took THE BEST photos of him! Cheryl has great communication and we will definitely book with her again!”
“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.”
“Michael was an amazing sitter for my dog and communicator for me!! We had a last minute schedule change and were traveling to Seattle unexpectedly. Michael was so helpful and accommodating to make this work with less notice than usual! He was prompt and communicative sending me pictures of Sox updates along the way. His dog Ellie was very chill and seemed to get along with Sox great. I definitely would (and will!) work with Michael again!”
