“Devan was excellent with Pepper, and was extremely meticulous in his communication. We received constant text and photo updates during his stay and that’s one of the most important qualities when caring for a pet.”
“Isabella was so so great with our dog, Benji! She kept us updated on how he was each day and really went the extra mile with making sure Benji was comfortable. Really appreciate the great care and I wouldn’t think twice about leaving my dog with her again ! ❤️”
“Lauren and Kelvyn were amazing! Our pup is usually nervous and upset about boarding with a sitter, but they sent tons of pictures and updates, so we knew our Kirby and their Kota were getting along well and having fun while we were away. They were flexible to accommodate for shifts in plans, extremely communicative, and very caring. We’d definitely love for Kirby to stay with them again!”
“Peter was the best dog sitter I could have found for my pup. Luke is 14 yo, so leaving him with someone isn’t always easy. Peter made the whole process incredibly smooth and friendly, and he made Luke feel right at home. He even took him on little adventures with Nova, while being very mindful of Luke’s needs and limits. Not only did he make Luke feel like part of his pack, but he also gave me great peace of mind with daily updates and photos where I could clearly see that Luke (even though he probably missed me) couldn’t have been in better hands. I’m especially grateful to Peter because when my return travel plans got complicated and the schedule didn’t quite line up, he was extremely flexible and helped me so much, making sure Luke got home safe and sound. Without a doubt, he will be my go-to person to take care of Luke the next time I have to travel.”
“Jessica is amazing! She sent TONS of high quality photos of our dog every day. We can tell she took great care of him and he had an awesome time. We would definitely recommend her and plan on boarding our dog with her again!”
“Jerica and Nori were amazing! Nori was playful and accommodating with a new dog on his turf and he and Toby played so well together! I got lots of photos and updates from Jerica during Toby’s stay and it was clear Toby had a great time and was well cared for. Highly recommend Jerica! We will re-book in a heartbeat!”
“Davis was fantastic with our dog, a 75 lb mixed breed. She is very anxious when we leave her with a sitter. She’s also sometimes stand offish with men she doesn’t know, but she liked Davis immediately when we met him in a meet and greet before our trip. Davis’ calm, confident way with dogs put us at ease, and we felt comfortable leaving our pup with him for a full week. A few days before our trip, our dog got a dog bite that got infected, so we had to leave her with new medications and care instructions. Davis handled everything with no stress, made sure she got her medication, and took great care of her while she healed. We came home to a happy, healthy dog and would absolutely hire Davis again and recommend to others.”
“Ponyo was great - she consistently updated us with photos and notes so we knew our pup was well taken care of. We'd happily have Ponyo and her family board Willa again in the future.”
“Such a great experience. Our dog was cared for by a wonderful family who treated him like their own. I’m not even sure she missed us—which is the best compliment possible ☺️”
“Regina is the best! My pup came back happy, tired, and clean - a tough combo to achieve! I loved all of the pictures and videos Regina sent and definitely plan to have her hang out with my pup again.”
“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.”
“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!”
“I always appreciate booking with Adam! He always makes time for my girl and she comes home so happy! When I ask her about her day with Adam she wags her tail with joy!”
“Thu was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated with plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We had a last-minute emergency and needed to extend our pup’s stay by an extra night, and she was so understanding and accommodating. We would happily book with her again, and I know our pup would be thrilled!”
“Mengyuan and her husband were absolutely wonderful with my girl Olive during a longer boarding stay (1 week). Her visit included lots of updates and Olive even went on some local hiking adventures along the way. They delivered great peace of mind, and I had full confidence that my pup was in capable, caring hands.”
“Ellie was a fantastic host to our husky Pepper. She is extremely attentive and made sure that Pepper got enough daily exercise and also plenty of snuggles during their downtime. We love that Pepper gets along so well with Ellie’s sweet dog Bear. Overall our dog had a great time and would absolutely book with Ellie in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful taking care of Teddy. Teddy had lots of fun playing with Samantha, meeting her friends and taking very long walks with her! Samantha was so patient with Teddy when he was first nervous. She sent me consistent updates on Teddy & each time, it looked like he was having a blast. In fact, after she took care of Teddy, Teddy & I ran into her on a walk and he was soooo excited to see her again. Definitely recommend Samantha - she was kind, responsive, and made Teddy feel right at home in her place.”

“Roman was a great cat sitter. He played with him, made sure his water bowl was full, and sent updates and pictures every day. My cat also seems to have really liked his company! It was so nice to have peace of mind while I was gone. Thank you!!”
“Carly was amazing! Very flexible as I had to schedule the visits last minute. Excellent communication and she took lots of photos of my two boys! My one cat is very skittish and tends to hide around new people but he came out for her and let her give him pets! They clearly liked and trusted her. Very grateful to know they were taken such good care of while I was away. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Amy stayed at my apartment and watched my cat for 10 days. She truly went above and beyond and I can’t be more grateful and amazed. She sent photos and updates the whole time, left my place so tidy and clean, even left a few Polaroid photos of my kitty? I have already bragged to all my friends and family about Amy—would recommend her to anyone!”
“Sarah was so helpful and I could tell cared about my pets well. I loved receiving pictures of my cats and updates about how it was going. Planning on booking with them again for future trips! Happy to know there is someone I can trust :)”
“I booked Natalia again to take care of my cat, and once more she was absolutely amazing. She’s extremely communicative, takes wonderful care of my cat, and is incredibly sweet and trustworthy 🩷”
“Angela takes such good care of our cat! Our cat was very anxious while we were away and Angela was very attentive in making sure she felt safe, was well fed, and got lots of attention. Angela is also very proactive in communicating and sharing updates. I highly recommend entrusting Angela to care for your pet!”
“Katelyn was awesome! We’ve never booked on Rover before so we weren’t sure what to expect, and were nervous to leave our cats with someone new, but we were blown away by the level of communication and photos sent each visit. Katelyn made our vacation stress free knowing our babies were safe, happy and taken care of! I also appreciated that Katelyn sent updates about things outside of our cats, like packages arriving at the apartment and how our place was left after a contractor made some updates. Will definitely book again, thank you Katelyn!”
“Stephanie was great! She took great care during her drop-in visits to feed and play with our kitty, sent us photos and nice updates, and was overall super easy to work with.”
“Rachael was incredible! Very responsive and easy to work with, and she gave great updates and sent photos every day. Our extremely shy cat warmed up to her quickly, which doesn’t happen often!”
“I needed a sitter last minute and Riley came through! She was very professional and left me with lots of photos and detailed updates for my sweet, old boy. She and my cat seems to have gotten along quite well :) I recommend Riley!”
About: I’ve taken care of my beloved family dog, a Miniature Schnauzer, since her adoption when I was 11 years old. Over the years I’ve done petsitting for dogs of small-large sizes, and ages 1 year-14 years, for families close to mine or with a more distant connection. I pride myself in my close attention to your pet’s health and safety: strict diet adherence (sorry doggos, I know you would prefer all the human food!), responsible leashing on walks, restraint in the car, and plenty of love and play. Most recently I cared for a very sweet medium-large Australian Shepherd who loves frisbee fetch and his squeaky toy :) My motivation for seeking pet care roles comes from my love for spending time with dogs and cats, and (let’s be honest) I’m a college student who could use a little more cash and a little more critter cuddles. I am most available on weekends, starting Fridays in the early afternoon and ending Monday early mornings. As a college student, I do have other gaps throughout the week and on breaks that I would be happy to discuss. I care deeply about safety in everything I do, and especially with your fuzzy family member. I also work in a research lab, so I am no stranger to following procedures- however complicated your pet’s routines are, I will stick to them! If your pet likes to visit parks a little bit away from your home, I’m happy to take them on short drives. I have a valid driver’s license and have never gotten a ticket, and I will only allow drives if your pet has a soft carrier, harness seat belt, or other restraints. I believe keeping pets entertained helps them stay out of dangerous mischief, so it’s a good thing scritches and play are some of my favorite things to do too :)
“Edward was absolutely phenomenal. Everything was fantastic, from the meet & greet, to the excellent communication, and how well he got along with the cats. I highly recommend Edward's services and will be using him again.”
“We cannot thank Jessica enough for taking good care of our cats. We could enjoy our vacations abroad because we know that our cats are in good hands under her care. Jessica is always going to be our go-to pet sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was young, and would often watch after my friends and neighbors cats. I’ve taken care of kittens and senior cats as well, some with special diets and feeding schedules. I will ensure that both the car and your space is well taken care of.
“Savannah did an amazing job! She watched my house and my cat while I was away. I received pictures and updates everyday. My cat really loved her as well. Not to mention my house was cleaner than when I left it :) I will definitely be booking her again!!!”
“Elizabeth was amazing with my cat. I couldn't be more grateful to her for the good care to Sophie. Elizabeth was very responsive to my messages, sent me a lot of details about Sophie, spent time getting to know my cat, and kept the house clean. I will definitely reach out to her again for drop-ins during future trips :)”

“Ozzy really enjoys going to see Jerica and playing with Nori and Yuzu! He has a blast getting out his puppy energy all day and I know he's in good hands. Jerica is extremely responsive and communicative and I feel safe leaving Ozzy with her. Will book her again for any daycare and boarding needs!”
“Erica was incredible with my higher need, anxious golden! She was very understanding of her food allergies and patient when she had separation anxiety! She sent multiple updates & kept me informed throughout the stay. Will be staying with her again!”
“Lauren provides outstanding care for my dog, Phoebe, during daycare. I love receiving regular updates and photos, which gives me great peace of mind while I'm at work. When I pick Phoebe up, she’s always happy and relaxed, and now she gets excited when we arrive for drop-off. I rely on Lauren’s daycare services weekly and will definitely be booking Phoebe for overnight boarding when I go away. Highly recommend – 5 stars!”
“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!”
“Anne is amazing! Flexible, communicative, and wonderful with my pup, Senna. Whenever we walk by Anne’s House, my dog pulls to go inside and spend more time with her. I’m a repeat client and always feel comfortable and so happy interacting with her :) thanks, Anne!”
“Amazing rover! Communication, flexibility, and punctual. My dog is usually shy and warmed up immediately. I felt my dog was safe and in good hands. I recommend and will use again thank you!”
“Samuel was great! I could feel that he really loved and cared a lot about dogs. He sent me pictures and updates throughout the day so I could see how she was doing. My puppy is a very energetic 5 month old, and when she came home she was all tired out which couldn’t have been an easy task. He was very accommodating with my early drop-off time as well.”
“Davis took amazing care of Flex for 4 days and did such an incredible job! He went above and beyond by sending us pictures of Flex, taking him to the dog park multiple times, walking him, and making sure he was well taken care of the entire time. He followed everything I asked and even taught Flex new tricks! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Flex was in such great hands. We are so thankful for all the care, attention, and love he gave Flex. I highly recommend Davis to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and amazing to care for their”
About: We're young professionals living in Cap Hill with several years of dog-care experience. We started sitting through Rover 3 years ago and have since added our own dog to the mix! Oliver is a 2-year-old mini poodle who we rescued just over a year ago. PLEASE NOTE: To make sure your pup has a comfortable stay, we require a meet-and-greet playdate prior to booking. We want to make sure that we are a good fit for your dog's needs! While we love all our furry friends, due to allergies in our family we are only able to take low-shedding, hypoallergenic dogs right now. One of us works from home, so your pup will get attention and care throughout the day. We like to start and end our days with a long walk in Volunteer Park. Oliver's other favorite activities include sleeping on the couch next to me while I work or perched on the back of couch, where he can look out the window and get a great view of all the neighborhood happenings. Your pup would be cordially invited to do the same! We use positive reinforcement training with Oliver and bring treats on all our walks to reward good behavior. If there are specific behaviors you want us to upkeep during your pup's stay, please don't hesitate to let us know. We know what a bummer it can be to have to retrain behaviors after just a few days away! We can't wait to meet your pup and make them feel at home during their stay! One of us works from home full-time and will be around for all your dog's needs. We typically start and end our day with a walk in Volunteer Park. Oliver will be happy to show your pup all his favorite spots to sniff! We take great care to make sure that all your pup's needs are met! Feel free to provide any specific instructions on the best ways to care for your pet (e.g., preferred schedule, training you'd like us to upkeep). We know how it can feel to entrust the care of your dog to someone else and want to make sure that they feel at home during their stay with us.
“Mariia took amazing care of Frankie, and on short notice too! She took Frankie on a long walk in the afternoon and showed me lots of cute pictures where Frankie looks very happy. She left very detailed notes on Frankie’s stay, which I enjoyed reading. I wouldn’t hesitate to book care with Mariia again!”
“Yufang took such great care of Taco! Her home is well set up for dog care — safe, clean, and comfortable. Taco got plenty of playtime, attention, and belly rubs, and came home happy and relaxed. I really appreciated all the pics and video.”
“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!”
About: I consider myself to be a loving and caring person, saving the most room in my heart for dogs and other furry friends. Dogs have always been part of the family - from my grandparents’ tradition of always having a little white dog to caring for large rescue dogs with difficult pasts. I’m always sensitive to a dog’s feelings, trying to anticipate their needs and making sure they always feel safe and comfortable. This was most apparent in my relationship with my own dog, Fille, who passed in June 2025. She was a scared and traumatized rescue that was found lost wandering the desert in Arizona, but after adopting her in 2018 and spending 7 wonderful years together, she blossomed into a confident (albeit stubborn) pup who received lots of love and support so she could explore the world with me. During our last year together, I got first-hand experience with not only senior care but disabled dog care; Fille was living with partial paralysis in her hind legs, and so I learned how to best support her mobility on walks and take care of pain management, physical therapy, and other special needs as they arose. I would love to treat your dog with the same compassion and love and look forward to many future walks and visits! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can care for pets on any schedule. I do sometimes travel for work, but my availability will surely be updated with plenty of advance notice to accommodate any pet parent’s needs! Pets would be allowed full range of my home, and I ensure that any potential hazards (cords, garbage, etc.) are properly stowed away and cannot be accessed by any four-legged friends. If desired, I have space to accommodate a kennel. Living very close to a big park, I’m an avid explorer of the grounds and loved to take breaks out there with my furry friend, Fille. My apartment building has a shared entrance, but I have a good rapport with my neighbors and can take any precautions if requested. There are stairs and a functioning elevator for any dogs with mobility issues.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since a was young and love being around them! I’ve also trained a few of my family’s puppies. My older dog recently crossed the rainbow bridge, so I have extra snuggles to give your dog! I am used to potty accidents or dribbles in the house after having an older dog. I currently work 12 hr shifts at UWMC so I have blocks of days off depending on my schedule. My husband works from home and was previously taking care of our chihuahua when I was at work, I love playing fetch at the dog park and going on walks. If your dog wants to stay the night, no problem! I have extra dog beds and toys to make your dog comfortable, except for rawhide or other bones. Dogs are allowed on the couch and can sleep at the end of the my bed. I’m also able to give your dog any medication or special diet if necessary.
“Mandy and Ellie are the absolute sweetest!! So communicative, kind, and thoughtful. My little anxious guy has separation anxiety and she makes him feel right at home! So so grateful for Mandy and Ellie’s care!”
About: I grew up with pets, from large to small. My sibling and friends always rely on me fostering their dogs and cats. I work from home and won’t leave your pets alone. My husband and I work full time from home, so your pets will always be attended to. They will pretty much hang out with us while we go about our day. My husband starts walking all of the dogs at around 8am. I will open my fenced yard at midday for a midday pee break. My husband will come back at around 6:30pm to give all of the dogs another walk. We usually feed the dogs their morning and evening meals after they come back from their walks. We will open the yard again before bed for a late night pee break.
“We booked Felix on short notice for evening daycare, and he was very thoughtful in assessing whether our dog would be a good fit for his setup. We really appreciated the detailed updates and feedback throughout the stay. Felix has a strong understanding of dog behavior and group dynamics, which gave us peace of mind, and our somewhat nervous dog seemed to fit right in with his pack. Thanks Felix!”

“Elizabeth is AWESOME! She always goes above and beyond in the care and attention she gives to my pup, Finley. She is an excellent communicator, consistent, and kind. I can rest easy knowing Finley is getting what she needs with someone I trust!”
About: I've had rabbits for the last decade, so I am thoroughly experienced in small animal care. I have supported friends and family by dog-sitting for about the same amount of time. It the 4 years, I've been able to provide housemates and friends with dedicated care for their feline friends. My overall experience includes, walks, feeding, changing litter, overnight sitting, and playtime. I also feel comfortable caring for more than one animal at a time. I care for my own rabbit daily giving food, water, exercise, and enrichment time. I want to provide the same care to your pet. I have my weekends reserved for pet care of others' animals and find time for the weekly tasks that support my own rabbit during the week. I always review instructions that are left regarding the needs of pets. I appreciate clear communication and I will go above an beyond to make sure your pet has whatever they need. I would hope to be able to spend more of the day and/or drop in multiple times throughout the day to check on them. I hope that I can put you at ease as you are away from your pet.
“Maria was great! She showed up on time every day and sent photos and updates of my dog's walks. He looked happy, and I'm glad he got to get outside during my work day. I'll definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I learned how to care for dogs when I found my soul pup as a 19 year old college sophomore. I researched high and low, consulted with any and every dog expert I could get ahold of, and have since tried every single day to give my baby the best life he deserves. That’s the level of passion and care I bring to pet sitting. I truly understand how important our pets are, from setting routines with them to managing their healthcare, to training and (they might say most importantly) playtime. 😉 When it comes to dog walking, sitting, training, or just a midday check in & fetch, I’d love to help you live your life comfortably knowing your pet is in the best hands. I currently work part-time as a barista and part-time as a remote social media assistant so my schedule is incredibly flexible. This gives me ample time to support you and your pet’s schedule, providing care when you need it! I live in a 2 bedroom apartment in a very walkable neighborhood with multiple parks nearby. My dog is incredibly friendly (we used to live with two other dogs) and he loves to have play dates or sleepovers with fellow furry friends. If your pup ever needs a friend, he’s here :) If you’d like in-home care for your pet, I’m happy to do so as well! In these cases, my partner takes care of our dog at our home and does not need to come along.
About: I've grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life and have spent years caring for the pets of friends and family — so I bring genuine, hands-on experience to every booking, not just enthusiasm. I'm equally at home with a slow, sniff-heavy stroll with a senior dog as I am with an energetic pup who needs a real workout along the Burke-Gilman. I love cats and miss having one so would love to care for yours meantime. I'm comfortable administering medications and managing special needs, and I take the time to learn each animal's individual routine, quirks, and preferences before we ever head out the door. You'll get photo updates, honest communication, and a caretaker who is calm when it counts, structured when your pet needs it, and genuinely flexible around your schedule. Your pet is in good hands — and you'll know it. My work-from-home schedule gives me genuine flexibility that most walkers can't offer — I'm available most weekdays after 10am and can often accommodate same-week requests. Midday walks are my sweet spot, but I'm equally happy doing weekend adventures or overnight house sitting when you're out of town. If your pup needs an extra-long outing or your cat just wants some unhurried company, I have the time to give it. I can't host pets at my place, but honestly? That just means I show up to yours fully present and unhurried. I've been the trusted go-to for friends' and family's pets for decades — it's just always been my thing. Your pet's safety and comfort is my first priority on every single outing. I keep dogs securely leashed at all times, stay off high-traffic streets, and always match the route and pace to your pet's energy level and physical needs. I'm calm under pressure, attentive to body language, and know when a dog needs to slow down, take a break, or just sit and watch the ducks on Portage Bay for a minute. Cats get genuine attention, not a quick scoop-and-dash. Your home is treated with total respect and you'll always get a real update — photos, notes, the good stuff.
“He has been doing great job! On one of the walks, our dog was having an issue that he helped take care of and then was able to swing back by later to check in on her before I was able to get home. This was much appreciated!”
About: Growing up, my family had a poodle named Fluffy. After graduating college, I adopted my first puppy, Frankie! I've had Frankie for 4+ years now and trained her myself. I've taken care of dogs of all shapes, sizes and ages! I work full-time at UW Medical Center M-F. I am available weekends to board/walk with flexible time frames. I could be open to house sitting for the right dog. I live in a studio apartment with an unfenced yard. I have one dog. I go on lots of walks and could take to parks to run around.
“We are so lucky to have found Biancana on Rover! She was amazing and so sweet with our Clancy. She texted us upon her arrival and departure and texted pictures during their outdoor walk adventure. She is sweet, caring and very attentative to our needs/desires for our dog. We will most surely be using her again and recommend her as an A++++ for your needs! We simply can’t thank you enough, Biancana! ~ Clancy, Anna and Grant”
“Today was our first walk with Sebastian, and everything went well. Sebastian is professional, courteous, and reliable. My dog is thrilled to have a new friend.”
“I went out of town for 6 days and Craig was able to walk, feed, and provide companionship for my dog. He was well liked by Obi and when I arrived back he was happy to show me Craig with his tail wagging. Craig provided exactly what Obi needed.”
About: I have walked dogs, watched over cats, fed a turtle, and took care of my two lovely bunnies since I was 14. My main experience comes from the latter. I have bonded a pair, navigated various health conditions, administered medicine, and groomed them for the past four years. I believe the variety of pets that I have cared for makes me a qualified, versatile provider. I am a design student at the UW. Because I have morning classes, I try to get up earlier and need a little motivation to do so :) I commute by bus, so my exact timing does depend on the schedule, but I do my best to be punctual and provide care within the expected timeframe! I am excited to take care of your pet within your home and on walks, keeping them safe and entertained. I mostly focus on playing with pets on my own, keeping a safe distance from other animals to maintain their comfort. While I do not own a cat or dog, previous experiences and transferable experience from my own pet, in addition to consultation with other experienced owners, will help me meet all of your pet’s needs!
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I grew up surrounded by both cats and dogs, caring for them daily—feeding, playing, and learning to understand their unique personalities. My Chihuahua gave birth to 5 adorable puppies 2 years ago, and I took on the full responsibility of raising and training them. From nighttime feedings to early socialization and basic commands, I experienced firsthand what it takes to care for pets with patience, love, and consistency. Whether it’s a playful pup or a shy senior pet, I treat every animal as if they were my own—with love, safety, and attention to detail. I’d be honored to care for your furry family member and keep you updated with photos, videos, and tail-wagging stories while you’re away! My schedule allows pet sitting before 7:30 AM and after 6:00 PM on weekdays, with open availability on weekends for extra attention, playtime and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their usual routine to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I respect the home, provide regular updates, and make sure everything is clean and secure when I leave. Whether it’s feeding, play, litter box cleaning, or medication, I’m thorough and reliable in all aspects of care.
About: I’ve always had a deep love and respect for animals, and caring for them has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. Whether it's walking energetic pups, cuddling with cats, or tending to senior pets with special needs, I bring patience, attentiveness, and compassion to every interaction. I understand the importance of routines, consistent communication, and a calm presence—especially with pets who may be shy or sensitive. I'm happy to follow specific instructions and adapt to each pet's unique personality and needs. Whether it's daily walks, administering medications, or just keeping your pet company while you're away, I strive to make them feel safe and loved. I take pride in being reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of both pets and their homes. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s hands, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I'm a teacher so I have the summer off! Caring for animals fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine—it truly brings me joy! I enjoy building regular schedules for feeding, playtime, walks (when needed), and quiet companionship. Whether I’m doing morning check-ins, afternoon play sessions, or evening snuggles, I make time to give pets the attention and care they need to feel safe and loved. I’m flexible and dependable, so I can easily work around a pet’s preferred routine. Whether it’s a quick visit or a longer stay, I treat each pet like my own and make sure they’re comfortable, enriched, and happy while their people are away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that meets their individual needs. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect the space and follow all instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, litter box care, or favorite toys and routines. I aim to keep things consistent, just like their family would. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I make sure the space is cozy, clean, and pet-safe. I offer plenty of playtime, cuddles, and quiet time depending on what each pet enjoys. I’m mindful of cues and body language and never rush interactions, especially with shy or senior animals. I believe pets thrive on trust and routine, and I treat each one with the same love and attention I’d give my own.
About: I've been caring for cats of all sizes and temperaments. Friends, neighbors and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide loving companionship for their pets. I'm attentive to routines, comfortable administering basic medications, and patient with dogs and cats. I believe every animal deserves gentle, consistent and compassionate care. I maintain a flexible and reliable schedule and plan my days carefully to ensure pets receive consistent attention. I'm available for weekday and weekend bookings, including drop-ins, walks, and boarding. I prioritize quality time, exercise, and structured routines so your pet feels safe, and cared for while you're away. Your pets' safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendlt environment and closely follow your instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and hosue rules. I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. Whether in my home or yours, I create a secure, loving environment where pets feel relaxed and cared for.

“Isabella was so so great with our dog, Benji! She kept us updated on how he was each day and really went the extra mile with making sure Benji was comfortable. Really appreciate the great care and I wouldn’t think twice about leaving my dog with her again ! ❤️”
“Peter was the best dog sitter I could have found for my pup. Luke is 14 yo, so leaving him with someone isn’t always easy. Peter made the whole process incredibly smooth and friendly, and he made Luke feel right at home. He even took him on little adventures with Nova, while being very mindful of Luke’s needs and limits. Not only did he make Luke feel like part of his pack, but he also gave me great peace of mind with daily updates and photos where I could clearly see that Luke (even though he probably missed me) couldn’t have been in better hands. I’m especially grateful to Peter because when my return travel plans got complicated and the schedule didn’t quite line up, he was extremely flexible and helped me so much, making sure Luke got home safe and sound. Without a doubt, he will be my go-to person to take care of Luke the next time I have to travel.”
“Davis was fantastic with our dog, a 75 lb mixed breed. She is very anxious when we leave her with a sitter. She’s also sometimes stand offish with men she doesn’t know, but she liked Davis immediately when we met him in a meet and greet before our trip. Davis’ calm, confident way with dogs put us at ease, and we felt comfortable leaving our pup with him for a full week. A few days before our trip, our dog got a dog bite that got infected, so we had to leave her with new medications and care instructions. Davis handled everything with no stress, made sure she got her medication, and took great care of her while she healed. We came home to a happy, healthy dog and would absolutely hire Davis again and recommend to others.”
“Ponyo was great - she consistently updated us with photos and notes so we knew our pup was well taken care of. We'd happily have Ponyo and her family board Willa again in the future.”
“Regina is the best! My pup came back happy, tired, and clean - a tough combo to achieve! I loved all of the pictures and videos Regina sent and definitely plan to have her hang out with my pup 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!”
“I always appreciate booking with Adam! He always makes time for my girl and she comes home so happy! When I ask her about her day with Adam she wags her tail with joy!”
“Ellie was a fantastic host to our husky Pepper. She is extremely attentive and made sure that Pepper got enough daily exercise and also plenty of snuggles during their downtime. We love that Pepper gets along so well with Ellie’s sweet dog Bear. Overall our dog had a great time and would absolutely book with Ellie in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful taking care of Teddy. Teddy had lots of fun playing with Samantha, meeting her friends and taking very long walks with her! Samantha was so patient with Teddy when he was first nervous. She sent me consistent updates on Teddy & each time, it looked like he was having a blast. In fact, after she took care of Teddy, Teddy & I ran into her on a walk and he was soooo excited to see her again. Definitely recommend Samantha - she was kind, responsive, and made Teddy feel right at home in her place.”
“Catherine was absolutely wonderful. This was our first time boarding Hiro, and she was so great through the whole process. We would 100% book again with her in the future.”
“Emily is wonderful. She was incredibly responsive from the start, extremely loving to our pup and kept in exceptional contact with us while we were away. She gave our 11-month-old golden the time of her life! Our Maple had an absolute blast and we could tell she was being cared for like family. I highly recommend Emily and will definitely call on her again!”
“Babu stayed with Jennifer and Ken for the second time. What’s best about them is that they are both passionate about dog care and equally experienced with dogs. This gives me a great peace of mind. They shared a ton of pics and videos of Babu playing and then dozing off exhausted from the fun. I am grateful he got that attention, time and care from them and they went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of just as their own dog, who Babu gets along with super well. I am super comfortable with them. Will book again for sure.”
“It’s so nice to know that Egor will always take such good care of our reactive dog. It makes life feel way less isolating and is such great socialization for Tigger!”
“A true dog lover who treated my pup like her own. From daily park visits to allowing my dog to sleep in her bed, I really appreciated the care to making sure my dog both her daily exercise and love.”
“Cheryl was great with our active 1 year old rescue pup. They had a great time at the park and we got daily updates, which was important since it was our first time away from our new family member. We’ll definitely rebook with Cheryl.”
“As usual, our holiday in Europe is made more complete by the attentive care and beautiful pictures provided by Kandice. She makes our furry family part of her family, walking them regularly, and sending us frequent updates and pictures. My only hesitation in offering you this input and review, is that if she is not available next time I want to go on holiday, I should be very put out with you the reader. LOL”
