“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 :-)”

“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.”
“She was lovely and flexible! My dog had never been boarded before and it went beautifully. Then, when my flight got canceled she was willing to extend his stay.”

“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.”
“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!”
“We are so thankful to Egor for taking such good care of our dogs! He kept us updated with messages and photos, so we didn’t have to worry about how the dogs were doing while we were gone. The dogs came back happy, healthy, and clearly well looked after. Egor made sure their stay at his home was as comfortable and stress free as possible. We truly appreciate his thoughtful approach and care.”
“I scheduled a trial run for my dog before we take a long international trip and feel at ease with Danielle and Joy. My senior dog can be a handful but they seem to have a lot of experience with various ages and temperaments.”
“Ramon was great with Nito. Drop-off and pick-up were smooth and quick, and Nito seemed comfortable with him right away. Nito came back happy, which always says a lot. I also really appreciated the daily pictures. Would happily book again.”
“Mengyuan and Matt are great sitters. I could tell by my dog’s mood in the days following that she was happy and cared for and seemed in great spirits. I left my baby with them for 10 nights and I can’t thank them enough for helping me have peace of mind while away for that long. This was my second experience with Mengyuan and I would absolutely recommend!”
“Jennifer was amazing. She sent frequent pictures and videos and handled our anxious dog’s first time with boarding with such professionalism and care! We will be rebooking without a doubt.”
“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”

“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!”
“Miriam was amazing! She was really flexible which I appreciated because my schedule was a little chaotic, and she got along really well with my cat Edel. Edel seemed like she was vibing in all the picture updates, and Miriam was also very through in her notes for each visit.”
“Carter was incredible, and deserves more than 5 starts! With a high sense of ownership and initiative, Carter proactively moved the air purifier for the cats' well-being, washed the kitties' water fountain and food bowl, and replaced the litter robot's waste bag - all without me asking! The cats loved Carter and I loved knowing they were in capable hands. Would definitely book again for a worry-free experience!”
“Marie-Rose was the best Rover cat sitter I’ve ever had! She is very kind and took extremely good care of my cat Dot. She is detail oriented, making sure to ask specific questions about logistics, pet care/cleaning, and how to make your pet the happiest they can be. I received many amazing videos and photos of Dot, which showed her playing, getting treats, and overall attention. Marie-Rose even left Dot a new wand toy and left a hand-written note with a drawing of Dot, which really warmed my heart. Highly recommend you book Marie-Rose in the future!!”

She goes above and beyond and cares for them as if they are her own. Thank you Val! The kitties are excited to see more of you.”
“Brenda watched my two cats while I was away for a week and did a great job! I appreciated the updates and pictures while I was out and the cats seemed very happy when I got back. I’d happily book her again.”
“Amelia took such good care of our cat! She's mindful, attentive, and shared pictures and updates with us every day. This is our second time hiring Amelia and we'd definitely book her again. Thank you Amelia! 😻”

“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!”
“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.”
About: Hi, I’m Jessica! I have grown up with all sorts of animals: dogs, cats, rabbits, fish and cows. Currently, I am an Aunt to one energetic golden retriever and 2 cats. Over the past 5 years I have watched dogs and cats in the city for friends and co workers and would love to watch your fur baby too! I have experience with caring for dogs with anxiety and elderly pets. I am a pretty active person who loves hiking and checking out new places in the city. I work full time from home. Usually my work hours are set in CST so I start early and end early afternoon, leaving a very flexible schedule with lots of time and energy to spend with your pets! I am very easy to communicate with and love spending time outside. I am easy to work with whether it’s for a quick check in, walks while you are away or reliable boarding. I live in an apartment but there are fenced in pet areas on the property. I also own a vehicle to take pets to the park, drop off/pick up or sitting at your home. I have worked in hospitality for over 15+ years. I know exceptional care is all about trust, attention to detail, and personalized service. I’ll treat your beloved pets with the same level of care and dedication we provide to guests at our five star properties.
“Hands down the best sitter I’ve found in this city. Erica is super communicative and friendly. She has a lot of experience with dogs and she understands their behaviors well. My dog picked up on her warm energy and I could tell she had a great time. Can’t recommend Erica enough!”
“Tiffany was such a wonderful sitter for my pup! She was very sweet with him and sent pictures along the way. I could tell my pup had a great time once I picked him up.”
About: First Hill minutes from downtown • weekday day care for office workers • private-room setup for reactive dogs. I grew up in a village in Turkey where dogs were part of everyday life we always had our own dogs, and caring for animals was something I learned as a child, not from books. Since then, animals have never left my life: for years I cared for my son's dog as if he were my own, and today I still help care for my other son's dog here in Seattle every week feeding, walking, playtime, and plenty of affection. I'm a retired grandmother, so I'm never in a rush; your pet gets my calm, full attention on every visit. I'm reliable, always on time, and I'm happy to send photos and updates from each visit. My English is simple but I always understand care instructions clearly. It would be my joy to care for your furry family member. I'm retired, so pet care fits perfectly into my daily life I have a flexible schedule and I'm available seven days a week, morning to evening. I'm never in a rush between visits: your pet always gets my full time and attention. I already care for my son's dog here in Seattle every week, so regular visits are a natural part of my routine. All my visits take place in your home, where your pet feels safest. I follow your care instructions exactly feeding amounts, medications, house rules and I never let a dog off leash outdoors. I always make sure doors and gates are securely closed, keep your home clean and tidy, and treat it with full respect. After every visit I send you photos and a short update, so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved.
“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!”
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!
“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.”
“Abbie and her partner were wonderful with Bodie! They took him on plenty of adventures and even made sure our picky boy ate his dinner. We would love to have them watch him again!”
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!
“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.”
“Shu did an amazing job looking after my dog Violet for a week of daycare. Violet experiences a lot of separation anxiety and Shu handled that very well. I loved receiving photo updates every day. Super on time and efficient — would definitely recommend her!”
“Ada's stay with Myriam was fantastic! I felt like Ada didn't even want to come home. Myriam took her to the park and wore her out, and also worked on some training with her. Myriam also sent updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind. I will be rebooking for sure.”

“Gabriel has been amazing with Murphy this week! He’s communicative and reliable. Murphy can sometimes be reactive or a little stubborn about walking, but Gabriel handled him so well and was very patient with him. I really appreciated the updates, photos, and extra care during the walks. As I’ve been working long days, I had a last-minute care request and really appreciated that he was able to accommodate it. It gave me peace of mind knowing Murphy was in good hands.”
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.
About: I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats my whole life, so I’m very comfortable caring for them and understanding their different personalities and needs. I’ve always loved animals and enjoy giving them lots of attention, playtime, and affection! 🐶🐱💕 I am currently a student! So I have a lot of free time to hang out and care for your pet/pets!! Especially early in the morning or in the evening! I care for every pet with lots of love, patience, and attention. In a client’s home, I follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. I also make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away.
“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: As a kid I helped care for our family’s dogs and occasionally watched my friends’ and neighbors’ pets. Now I’m a proud cat father of 10 years and still occasionally watch my friends’ and neighbors’ pets. I’m an RN between gigs and my cats are at home on the other side of the country- in short, my schedule is wide open! I like to care for pets on their terms whether they need long walks, active play at home or just a quiet check in. Boarders can expect a secure one bedroom flat with no other pets.
“Jana is the best. She has been very reliable and helpful with my senior dog on walks she has been recovering from surgery. Very appreciative of Jana’s care and professionalism!”
“Hi I just wanted to a minute and talk about how amazing Heidi is! Heidi is so great with Bruno, I've seen such a change in him since she's been in his life. When I get home and take him out he's happier and more relaxed than before. With my partner's and my schedules being so different Heidi has helped us to not worry about Bruno being anxious waiting for us to go outside. His quality of life has gone up and it shows! We love having Heidi we're very grateful at how skilled she is with Bruno, she's so amazing😁❤️”
“I was away on a work trip and needed someone to walk my husky throughout the week. Katelyn was patient with our crazy husky who likes to pull on the leash. She is great at communicating and was super easy to work with. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Ludo, who I adopted two months ago, has been adjusting and having some accidents. Bruce has been so communicative and has cleaned up his accidents even though I absolutely do not expect him to and have not asked him to. I cannot express how grateful and relieved I am to have him coming to walk Ludo while I am working. I know my special needs dog, who has seizures, is in great hands!!!!”

About: Hi! I’m Dawn. I’ve spent over 10 years professionally working with dogs in training, veterinary care, grooming, and enrichment-based pet care. More importantly, I genuinely love getting to know dogs as individuals. My approach is patient, science-based, and centered around what your dog actually needs. I believe walks should be more than just getting from point A to point B. I give dogs opportunities to sniff, explore, decompress, investigate their environment, and move at a pace that makes sense for them. Sometimes that means covering a lot of ground, and sometimes it means spending five minutes investigating one really interesting patch of grass. Both can be a successful walk! My training background is rooted in positive reinforcement and understanding canine body language. I’m comfortable working with shy, sensitive, excitable, strong, reactive, adolescent, and senior dogs, and I’m especially attentive to the little signals dogs give us before they become overwhelmed. I also have experience in veterinary settings, so I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs and dogs who may need a little extra patience or attention. Safety is extremely important to me, and I take handling, equipment, environmental awareness, and each dog’s individual limitations seriously. When your dog is with me, I want them to feel like they’re going on an adventure with someone they know and trust—not just being checked off a schedule. I love building relationships with the dogs I care for and figuring out what makes their tail wag, whether that's a woodland sniffari, practicing some fun skills, exploring a new trail, or simply taking a slow neighborhood wander. And yes—I will absolutely take too many pictures of your dog and tell you all about what they got up to. 🐾🌲 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to the animals in my care. Pet care is a major part of my day-to-day life, and I intentionally leave enough time between clients so visits and walks don't feel rushed. I'm available for regular weekly care as well as occasional visits, and I love building consistent relationships with both pets and their people. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I have professional experience in dog training, veterinary care, grooming, and pet sitting, and I'm comfortable reading body language and adjusting my handling to the individual animal. I use positive reinforcement and science-based handling methods, and I take introductions slowly when a pet needs extra time. I carefully follow your instructions regarding leashes, harnesses, doors, feeding, medications, reactivity, and household routines.

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.”
“Ramon was great with Nito. Drop-off and pick-up were smooth and quick, and Nito seemed comfortable with him right away. Nito came back happy, which always says a lot. I also really appreciated the daily pictures. Would happily book again.”
“Jennifer was amazing. She sent frequent pictures and videos and handled our anxious dog’s first time with boarding with such professionalism and care! We will be rebooking without a doubt.”
“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”
“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 :)”
“Joe was great! Cory (our dog) came back super relaxed so I know he had a great stay. Joe sent lots of videos, and had a quick response time. We had a last minute change in plans and needed to stay a day early due to covid and he quickly responded and helped us find a way to make it happen, thanks Joe!”
“Another wonderful stay! It’s always a mini vacation for Zella when she stays with Janet. We’re so appreciative of the adorable daily updates of Zella’s adventures around Seattle! :)”
“Our pup had the best stay with Stephanie and Scotty! They were great about accommodating all of my and my husband’s requests, especially because our girl can be anxious around new environments and people. Frequent updates kept us at ease, and we look forward to booking with them again very soon!”
“Blizzard had another great stay with Kandice and her family. He loved lounging in the yard on the sunny days and spending a rainy day inside with them. Even though he wasn't on his best behavior this time, she did a great job trying to make sure he was comfortable and happy, and kept an eye out for signs he might've been getting sick. Thanks!!”
“Isabella was so great with CC! She was great to communicate with, pick up and drop off was super easy, and I got back a very tired dog! I would love to have CC stay with her again.”
“Adam was super responsive and took great care of boomer, on short notice no less. He made sure to get all the info for care on boomer at a meet and greet and was very communicative! I could tell boomer was happy and well taken care of when I picked her up. Would def recommend Adam for anyone looking for exceptional care!”
“My 2 year old Springer Spaniel Boxer mix, Edie, had a wonderful time with Jana and her family! When I normally leave Edie at her doggy daycare to travel, she barely eats and seems anxious when I come to pick her up. Not the case this time! Edie ate all the food I had packed for her along with all the treats! She loved running around and puppy style wrestling with Hazel! Jana gave me updates twice a day with pictures and videos of the ladies playing. I truly do believe that Edie had a dog vacay with Hazel and Jana!”
“Erica was fantastic! She took great care of Georgia. She had so much fun, and was looking for them when she came home. I would absolutely recommend Erica for your pet sitting and daycare needs.”
