“Randsell was an amazing sitter. My dog was so well taken care of, monitored, and loved. I would absolutely recommend her to watch your dog. She clearly has a passion for dogs, and she is always keeping them entertained and sending photos and videos along the way. Thank you for taking such good care of her! I hope to book with Randsell again soon :-)”
“Danielle and Joy took great care of my sweet dog while I was away for a week. Great communication and daily photos let me know she was having a great time. Danielle was very responsive to changes in my schedule. Will definitely leave my girl in their care again.”
“Joey had the most wonderful stay with Debra! She was so kind and sweet, and understood Joey’s needs as a senior citizen pup. As he’s an old pup his legs are a bit weak; Debra went the extra mile to set up a carpet path and extra bedding to make sure he was comfortable and could walk around. She sent consistent updates and lots of photos. Truly made Joey feel welcome and was the best experience we could have ever had!”
“Catherine takes care of our Oreo so well! She has such a calming energy and so friendly. She always send pictures and updates! I can not rave enough about her!”
“Brenda took wonderful care of our dog, Zelda, during our 4 day trip. Zelda can be a finicky eater and also chews up paper, so leaving her with a caring and attentive Rover really helps us be able to travel with ease. Zelda did great under Brenda's care, and came home happy and healthy. I definitely recommend booking with Brenda and will rebook in the future! Thank you so much!”

“This was my first time boarding Nico with Ana. Our meet and greet went very well. Ana is kind, friendly, and asked plenty of questions about Nico’s needs and preferences. I left feeling very comfortable moving forward with the booking. Nico was so well cared for while staying with Ana. Not only does she care deeply for animals, she understands how it must feel to leave your pet with someone else. She was very quick to reply to any messages and sent lots of updates and photos while we were away. Great communication and I would 100% recommend Ana as a fantastic pet sitter! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ll definitely have Nico stay with Ana again in the future.”
“We love Janet - she was so great with Luna and sent lots of photos and videos. I could tell Luna was having a great time and was well taken care of, so I never had to worry. Janet also clearly read our notes about Luna. I really appreciated her spending time with Luna this week, and will definitely use her again!”
“Celeste was incredibly friendly and communicative throughout the entire process. She was patient with my anxious dog and made sure to create a comfortable environment for her for the weekend. I plan to work with her for any boarding needs in the future!”

“Ramon was amazing. He was on time, took care of my dog and sent me great pictures daily outdoor. My favorite part is that he worked from home and he was with her pretty much all day. My dog was extremely happy. Would definitely rebook with him again.”

“Michelle did an excellent job and caring for our elderly cat Luna. We got pictures after each visit and that helped seeing her enjoying Michelles company. I will definitely book her again when the need arises.”
About: I’ve been around cats for as long as I can remember. I’ve had my own cat for five years and regularly care for my neighbors’ and friends’ cats. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each cat’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away.
“Elizabeth did a great job watching our two cats while we were away! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of them. We’d definitely recommend her and would book her again!”

“Marta was absolutley amazing with my cat, Mushu! From the moment we connected, she was professional, kind, and super attentive.Marta sent regular updates, photos, and little videos, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She followed all my instructions perfectly and even went the extra mile to give Mushu extra playtime and cuddels. You can really tell how much she cares for animals. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a spotless home. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I’d reccomend Marta to anyone looking for someone reliable, responsbile, and truly wonderful with pets. Mushu already misses her!”
“Booked with Sarah for a few drop-in visits with my cat who needed some medication administered while I was away. Sarah was very communicative, flexible, and kind. I felt very comfortable having my cat in her care and would book her again in the future!”

“Maryia always takes great care of my cats! She promptly communicates any concerns. Takes amazing action shots of their antics and is overall a fantastic cat sitter. She’s my go to sitter and I can’t recommend her enough”
About: I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone brand new, but rest assured that I’ll keep you updated every step of the way. * I'll send plenty of photos * communicate with you throughout their stay * and make sure they receive lots of pets, cuddles, playtime, and attention. I even talk to them throughout the day because I believe they deserve plenty of interaction and stimulation too! I’ve loved animals since I was a kid. My very first cat was named Sparkle, after the cat from Barbie and the Diamond Castle, and she started my lifelong love for cats. As long as we communicate about your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs, I’ll do my best to cater to them and make them feel comfortable and at home. I’m a full-time teacher, so caring for others comes naturally to me. I’m patient, attentive, nurturing, and responsible, and I’ll care for your pets with the same love and kindness I give to my students. I’ll treat them as if they were my own 🧡
“Carter is the best! He truly went above and beyond in every way. He was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and made sure our cats received excellent care, attention, and love. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands, and we would absolutely book with him again.”
“It was my first time away and she took such great care of Neo! She is very responsive, asks questions, and takes greats pictures and notes. I would highly recommend Marie-Rose for any cat drop-ins!”
“Julia is simply amazing. She was friendly, kind and took really good care of my cat. She scheduled time to come visit and familiarize herself before the appointed visits, and she sent me updates and pictures of my cat everyday. She is also super good with the my cat who loved her. Will definitely book her service next time. Thank you Julia!”
“A great drop in cat sitter for my 3 year old darling cat. Valeriya was responsive and attentive and caring and easy to communicate with. I will absolutely use her again.”

“Ozzy and I really like Zhongni! She is very thoughtful, caring and really paid a lot of attention to his needs. I know she took excellent care of Ozzy while I was at work and felt very comfortable dropping him off with her. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. I highly recommend her as a sitter and will use her again for boarding!”
“Samuel was absolutely amazing taking care of Flex for the day! He was attentive, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. I felt completely at ease knowing Flex was in great hands. Samuel kept everything smooth and stress free, and Flex came back happy and well cared for. I truly appreciate the care, communication, and professionalism. I would 100% trust Samuel again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable to watch their pup”
“Erica gave us the confidence to leave Mookie for the afternoon so we could go enjoy a baseball game. He is with us 100% of the time so it was a big deal to have him with a sitter. Communication was excellent, as we received updates and pics throughout the day. Her place of residence was perfect for the pups. This was an all-around positive experience. We are grateful. Thanks Erica!”
About: Several years of watching friend's and family's dogs and cats! Have fostered dogs and I nursed my rescue puppy back to perfect health. I have had her for 4 years now. I work from home, so I can provide attention to your dog all day! We are very active, with multiple walks a day around the city, off leash dog parks (if you are ok with it), and weekend visits to bigger parks! I am flexible with dropoff and can even provide pickup/dropoff within a reasonable distance of Seattle. I will tailor my schedule to accommodate your pup's bathroom schedule. In my home, the dogs are allowed everywhere. I can crate the dog if necessary. We can do a meet and greet so that your dog can get comfortable with me and my pup. I will tailor my care to your pup!
“Andy is so amazing! She is always so positive when she greets me at pick up and drop off. She was able to start watching my dog Obi on a short notice when my pet care method changed suddenly. She was accommodating and flexible with the hours based on my needs. She informs me of any changes in his health or behavior. She also tried multiple methods to make my anxious pup more comfortable with his separation anxiety. My dog absolutely loves her and I am so happy that I have her as a resource for my pet care needs. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Randsell was wonderful with our dogs. She communicated clearly, was flexible and thoughtful, and clearly took the time to understand our dogs and their personalities. We felt very comfortable leaving them with her and really appreciated the care she gave them.”
“I've recently relocated to Seattle for work, and while waiting for my residence to become available, I needed assistance with watching my dog, Fat Boi, during business hours. I connected with Keith, and he's been such a great help! Fat Boi is shy and very attached to me, he's prone to getting a little depressed when we aren't together, but Keith helps to enrich his days and gives him some extra socialization. Fat Boi gets to people watch out from the balcony, and go on walks to see the water, and enjoys some great snacks while hanging out with Keith! I'm grateful that he's been there to look after Fat Boi and give him attention while I'm at work. I'm a long way from home, and so is Fat Boi, and it's one less source of stress in this huge transition to have the peace of mind that my little fuzzy guy is being thoughtfully taken care of until we are reunited at the end of the day.”
“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!”
About: I have over 5 years of experience dog sitting for a variety of families, providing comprehensive care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it's managing overnight stays, conducting regular drop-in visits, taking energetic walks, or keeping up with routine potty breaks, I prioritize safety, clear communication, and keeping your dog’s routine consistent while you’re away. In addition to sitting for clients, I’ve grown up with a family dog and frequently care for them during extended stays. Having a dog in my own home has given me a deep, personal understanding of dog behavior, health needs, and how important it is to treat every pet like family. What You Can Expect: Attentive Routine Care: Timely feeding, fresh water, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of play. Active Engagement: Tailored walks, outdoor exercise, and engaging activities to keep your dog happy and stimulated. Frequent Updates: Daily photos and status updates so you always have peace of mind. Respectful House Sitting: Keeping your home clean, secure, and well-cared for during overnight stays. Working part-time from home gives me a flexible, consistent schedule that allows me to prioritize quality time and structured care for every dog I look after. Daily Availability & Supervision: Because I spend most of my work hours at home, pets in my care receive continuous companionship, regular attention, and frequent breaks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. Structured Daily Routine: My schedule makes it easy to maintain your dog’s exact feeding times, medication schedules, potty breaks, and energy outlets. I build my work tasks around their daily rhythm so their home routine stays seamless and stress-free. Mid-Day Exercise & Play: Flexible working hours allow me to block out time for mid-day walks, backyard play, and mental stimulation games when dogs are typically most active. Overnight & Weekend Care: With a home-based work setup, overnight stays and weekend bookings blend naturally into my regular flow, ensuring your pet always has a present, reliable anchor while you are away. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, my priority is keeping their daily routine consistent, safe, and stress-free. Caring for Pets in Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins) Maintaining Familiar Routines: I follow your exact instructions for feeding, potty schedules, and sleep arrangements so your pet feels secure in their own environment. Attentive Care & Company: I provide plenty of one-on-one attention, play, and quiet companionship while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and secure. Frequent Updates: You’ll receive regular photos and daily status updates so you know your pet and home are in great hands. Caring for Pets in My Home (Apartment Living) Frequent Outdoor Excursions: Since I live in an apartment, I schedule regular, structured outdoor breaks for potty times and fresh air throughout the day. Park Walks & Exercise: We take full advantage of nearby parks for long, peaceful walks, sniffing sessions, and controlled exercise to burn off energy safely. A Cozy, Supervised Environment: My apartment offers a calm, cozy atmosphere where your dog can relax nearby while I work. They receive constant supervision and never have to navigate a chaotic or noisy environment. Safety & Park Guidelines Living in an apartment with nearby parks means safety and attentive handling are my top priorities on every outing. Here is how I ensure your dog stays secure, comfortable, and happy: Strict On-Leash Policy: Your dog will remain securely leashed at all times during outdoor walks, park visits, and potty breaks. I do not take client dogs off-leash in un-fenced public areas under any circumstances. Controlled Park Interactions: Nearby parks are fantastic for sniffing and exercise, but I maintain a respectful distance from unfamiliar dogs and high-traffic areas. I always check with you beforehand regarding your dog’s comfort level around other pets or crowded spaces. Double-Check Gear Security: Before leaving the apartment, I double-check that collars, harnesses, and leashes are fitted securely to prevent any risk of slipping out. Weather & Pavement Checks: Before setting out, I check ground temperatures to protect paw pads during hot weather and keep walks shorter on severe weather days. Fresh water and quick paw wipes are always part of our post-walk routine. Attentive Environment Awareness: Apartment living requires constant vigilance—I stay fully off my phone during walks to focus 100% on scan-ahead awareness, watching for bicycle traffic, wildlife, or stray items on the path.
“Antonio watched my dog with not even a 12 hour notice. He was kind and patient with my young pup and demonstrated skills consistent with a quality caretaker for my dog. He provided updates and pictures throughout the day and got my dog some much needed exercise. I am grateful he was able to help me in a time of need. His dog Rubie is a sweetheart too and was patient with my 1.5 year old pup.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life, from dogs to goats. I have a special place in my heart for dogs though. I have a 2 year old Golden doodle named Voli and he loves meeting new dogs. I work from home for my main job (graphic design), and I work weekend nights as a bartender. So I’m home most of the time and am able to give lots of attention to the fur babies. Although I live in an apartment, I prioritize outdoor activities. With multiple parks nearby, we'll take two long walks or park visits each day. Your dog's health, comfort, and happiness are very important to me!
“Thư was great with our dog, kept him engaged and entertained and kept me updated with photos and videos. The dog was very quickly comfortable with her and was sad to see her walk away when I picked him up. A really good sign that he enjoyed his stay. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“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!”
About: I got my first pup when I turned 11 and have cared for them ever since, going on 14 years of owning a pet. Both dogs and cats! I enjoy interacting with pets and making them feel special on walkies or just hanging out with them. I currently run a small business so I am able to set my own hours and attend to other things such as walking or caring for your pet. I have a fenced in yard and three fur children in my household. Two dogs and a cat. I can also crate if needed for your pet.
“Andy was great! He met us beaucoup early in the AM on a weekend to come and pick our puppy up from a hotel where we were catching a tour bus. He then sent copious videos for our perusal throughout the day, so we could see our puppers having as much fun as we were having on tour. Andy was very accommodating and communicative about both pickup and drop-off times too — highly recommend!”
“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!”

“Sarah was amazing with my dog! He was very anxious and had some adjustment issues, and she communicated with me through it all and was very patient managing through it. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I have 14 year old black lab and have raised her for all 14 years. Taking care of a senior dog has its challenges and I’m proud to say I’ve risen to meet them. I’m looking to walk some dogs in my spare time and meet some cool dogs along the way I have 3 days off a week and am looking for something to fill Sundays - Tuesdays. I can be flexible with my schedule if our proximity meshes well I have a doggy gate in my apt and can isolate my dog if needed. She’s 14 and lived with cats before, shes very chill around cats
About: I grew up with dogs and have been helping care for them since I was a child. My family had a Black Lab, a Dalmatian, a Basset Hound, and a whole lot of Beagles, so I’m very familiar with dogs that have plenty of energy and personality. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and activity levels. I offer relaxed, one-on-one weekend daycare and only host one dog at a time, so they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and company throughout the day. I live on Capitol Hill just a few minutes from Cal Anderson Park, where I already spend a lot of time walking and relaxing. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and care routine. I keep my daycare day completely free, so your dog will have my full attention throughout the day. We’ll have plenty of time for walks, play, relaxing, and whatever routine your dog is most comfortable with. My home is clean, open, and uncluttered, with no obvious hazards for a visiting dog. I only host one dog at a time, so I can keep a close eye on them and give them plenty of individual attention. I’ll also follow any specific routines, rules, or instructions you provide.
“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.”
About: Think of me as the cool aunt who skipped kids (dogs) because #broke and now has so much pent up love to give to your fur babies! Through high school/ college I raised a mini poodle named Teddy who now lives back home with my mom <3 I was a personal assistant for 1.5 years where my duties included walking/ feeding a poodle and a mini poodle 2-3 times a day, 5x/week. I would also house/ pet sit, and take dogs to grooming appointments. I have also done pet check-ins for friends over the years! I have most experience with 1-2 dogs at a time, and with smaller to medium sized dogs. I work from home 9-5 M-F, so I have a very flexible schedule :) I can do overnights no problem, and I can also do prolonged stays if you wouldn’t mind me using your dining table to take a couple work meetings on my laptop here n there! My schedule allows for me to helicopter parent your dog if you want me to! I can spend as little or as much time as you need, and I can work pretty well with your current feeding/ walking schedule to reduce stress on your dog. I can send you frequent updates (including cute pics) and take care of some household tasks if it makes sense to! (I am a Capricorn)

About: I have 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of many breeds, including paid and volunteer pet-sitting services. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, check-ins, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I especially love taking dogs on long walks and giving them plenty of exercise and attention. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while their family is away. I work Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 4 PM, so I’m available for pet care before or after work and on weekends. I’m happy to provide dog walks, check-ins, and pet sitting. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I have lots of experience caring for pets in their owners’ homes and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and carefully follow all instructions from their owner. I treat every home and pet with respect and make safety, trust, and your pet’s happiness my priorities.
About: Experienced in day-caring and boarding dogs. Have a two year old Cavapoo at home in which I can provide a clean, safe, and entertaining place for your doggy. I walk pets as a way to relief myself from home working environment. Furthermore, interacting with pets also helps my stress relief and I am happy to keep this a daily routine. I had a cage and fence for my dog when he was a younger one, we have potty trained him and rewarded him. He was free ranged in living room and common spaces besides bedroom and bathroom now.
About: I grew up with a Maltese-Shih Tzu mix, so I’ve had experience caring for dogs from a young age. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping up with your dog’s usual routine. While most of my experience has been with smaller dogs, I’m also comfortable caring for friendly medium and larger dogs and would love having a walking buddy! My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m completely free on Mondays! I can easily stop by for check-ins, feeding, walks, and some quality time with your pet. I’m also happy to have pets stay with me, including overnight, if you prefer a more home-away-from-home experience. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a designated pet relief area, and my neighborhood is very walkable with plenty of options for walks and outdoor time. I’ll always follow each owner’s instructions and their pet’s usual routine closely, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home.
About: While I don’t have extensive professional experience caring for other people’s pets, I have been around animals my entire life. My family has always had either a cat or a dog, which has given me experience with the daily responsibilities of caring for pets and understanding their needs. I currently have open availability Monday through Sunday, from mornings through evenings. Since I am not working at the moment, I have a flexible schedule and am available for house sitting or dog walking for extended periods as needed. While I do not currently have any pets of my own, I am committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for every client’s pet. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for while they are with me.
“This is the second time we have used Akiko and for a second time she has exceeded our expectations. At the risk of making her too popular, at least amongst discerning pet parents, I cannot recommend Akiko more highly. She is a delight to work with, a delight to communicate with and the dogs are always improved when we return. That is impressive in itself because our dogs are practically perfect in every way already. ;-) In a nutshell: you would be very fortunate to book Akiko for dog walking or house sitting. Very fortunate indeed.”
About: I’m a caring and responsible pet owner who understands how important it is to have someone you can trust with your dog. I have a 2-year-old dog that I’ve raised since birth, so I have hands-on experience with puppy care, feeding schedules, potty training, basic commands, walks, playtime, and creating a consistent daily routine. When caring for your pet, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Depending on the service, I can provide walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have regarding your pet’s routine, training, feeding, or other needs. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and preferences. I’m patient with younger dogs who may need extra supervision and consistency, while also being attentive to dogs who prefer a calmer pace. I take communication and reliability seriously and will do my best to keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, kindness, and care that I give my own. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine because I have a 2-year-old dog of my own. I’m used to planning my day around feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and giving plenty of attention. Caring for pets fits naturally into my schedule, and I’m comfortable making sure each dog gets the time, exercise, and care they need throughout the day. I care for every pet by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I also follow any special instructions from the owner, including feeding preferences, medications, or training routines.
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.
“Bruce was excellent, communicated perfectly, and clearly loves dogs. He helped me out when I couldn't walk my sister's dog. My sister and I will definitely request his help in the future. Thank you Bruce!”
“Erin has been wonderful to work with! Great communication on scheduling and feedback about my dogs. They loved her instantly on our meet and greet! Thank you Erin for taking care of them!”
About: I have experience with dog sitting for a family member on and off if they were out for the day or on a trip out of town for a longer period of time. I also sat for a friend that has both a cat and a dog. My other skills include babysitting (I have done this while dog sitting at the same time) and some experience in senior home care. For a period of 6 months, I took care of another family member managing their tube-feeding, medications, and working together with the nurse team to communicate updates, issues and check in on appointments. I do work online, currently building a business. I try to schedule my work around typical business hours (between 8am-5pm) but can adjust around for pet care sits or visits since I'm remote. I do most tasks Monday-Friday with the most availability being on the weekends, most specifically Saturdays. I am very good with taking directions on pets' needs. If they have a certain schedule or specialized regimen, I make sure to keep track and make sure the same rhythm is kept as if the owner is still with them. I also respect the ground rules of a client's home knowing that they are trusting to me by allowing me the visit. I also like learning the different personalities so I'd like to try and bond with the pets even if it's for a short time!
About: I have taken care of family dogs for many years, and have raised my own two Golden Retrievers from 8 weeks old. I have always loved animals and love learning how to communicate with them. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can work with whatever requirements you have. I also live downtown with a car, so I can drive to you. I am happy to take your dog for a walk, give them pets/cuddles in your home, or play with them in your yard! I am comfortable walking multiple dogs at once (if you have more than one) or can take your pups for individual walks if needed. I will treat your animals as if they were my own!

“Randsell was an amazing sitter. My dog was so well taken care of, monitored, and loved. I would absolutely recommend her to watch your dog. She clearly has a passion for dogs, and she is always keeping them entertained and sending photos and videos along the way. Thank you for taking such good care of her! I hope to book with Randsell again soon :-)”
“Catherine takes care of our Oreo so well! She has such a calming energy and so friendly. She always send pictures and updates! I can not rave enough about her!”
“Ken and Jennifer were amazing with our pup! I could tell that they really cared about him, and kept us updated with lots of great videos and photos. We will definitely be back.”
“This was my first time boarding Nico with Ana. Our meet and greet went very well. Ana is kind, friendly, and asked plenty of questions about Nico’s needs and preferences. I left feeling very comfortable moving forward with the booking. Nico was so well cared for while staying with Ana. Not only does she care deeply for animals, she understands how it must feel to leave your pet with someone else. She was very quick to reply to any messages and sent lots of updates and photos while we were away. Great communication and I would 100% recommend Ana as a fantastic pet sitter! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ll definitely have Nico stay with Ana again in the future.”
“We love Janet - she was so great with Luna and sent lots of photos and videos. I could tell Luna was having a great time and was well taken care of, so I never had to worry. Janet also clearly read our notes about Luna. I really appreciated her spending time with Luna this week, and will definitely use her again!”
“They were very excited to watch Pepper. These are Dog People who stopped at nothing to make sure Pepper was well exercised and well taken care of. Will be booking with them again”
“Ramon was amazing. He was on time, took care of my dog and sent me great pictures daily outdoor. My favorite part is that he worked from home and he was with her pretty much all day. My dog was extremely happy. Would definitely rebook with him again.”
“Recently had our first stay with Kandice and couldn't be happier with the experience. We did a meet and greet before the stay and it was obvious that Kandice is an experienced professional. We felt very comfortable entrusting her with our pet for a 8 night stay. Throughout the stay, Kandice gave wonderful updates. Overall, it was a very positive experience for us as owners and judging from the updates our dog had a great time too! We will definitely re-book with Kandice for our next trip.”
“Pramukh was amazing with Opal! This was my first time leaving her with him, and I felt completely at ease the entire time. He sent me tons of photos and updates, kept me posted on how she was eating and doing, and took her on lots of walks and outings. She also absolutely loved spending time with his dog, Kona—they became little best friends by the end of her stay! It was so obvious from every update that Opal felt comfortable, happy, and right at home with him. I honestly think she was a little disappointed to come home 😅 I would absolutely trust Pramukh with her again and highly recommend him!”
“Erica and Sloane are real pros, they went out of their way to make Georgia part of their family and I can't express how much they went above and beyond our expectations!!”
“Watched my dog for the weekend and it couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Very good communication and you can really tell that Adam is a dog lover. Would book again without hesitation.”
“My dogs were cared for in a very professional manager. Sena and her son take care of the dogs together. I left my two pit bulls with them and they had the comfort of their own room for the duration of the booking. I received frequent updates on the status of my dogs and pics and videos. I was glad to get back to them but had no problem leaving them in her care! Highly recommend.”
“Jana and her family have been an absolute gift. Summer is a very reserved, apprehensive little dog who has never stayed in someone else's home before, so I was understandably nervous. From the moment we met, Jana and her family were patient, gentle, and took the time to earn Summer's trust rather than expecting it. They cared for her as if she were their own, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was safe, comfortable, and in such a calm, loving home while our house was filled with the chaos of repairs, packing, and moving. Summer came home happy and relaxed, and I've already booked Jana again for several more stays. I couldn't recommend her more highly.”
“Xena has stayed with Marden twice now. Both times she's come home happy, healthy, and tired from all the fun with the other pups. He's done a great job and I wouldn't hesitate to book through him again”
“Andy is the best and most reliable sitter I have found for my 2 year old poodle mix, Freddie! Freddie always comes back from his visits happy and healthy, and I love getting pics of all their adventures together!”
“Allison was so great with my dog. I could tell my dog had a good time with her. I received a lot of photos so I felt good about leaving Zeta with her and will definitely book again :)”
“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!”
“She was amazing with my shy boy Gus Gus! So attentive, patient, and really made him feel comfortable. I loved getting daily updates and pictures—it made being away so much easier. I’m so glad I found someone I trust to take care of Gus Gus when I travel. Definitely booking again!”
“My dog Rambo spent two nights with Joe. Joe did an amazing job keeping me updated throughout all of Rambo’s stay! He made Rambo feel comfortable and welcome and I really feel reassured leaving Rambo with him! Thanks!!”
