“Really quite terrific: caring for our dog, showing care in managing details, having her kids participate in giving affection, good situation for our older dog re stairs, and lots of pictures along the way to provide assurance. We've already booked again.”
“Max loved his stay with Lorena! He was actually bummed to come home. He got taken for lots of walks and we got daily pics of all the fun he was having. Will definitely book again soon.”
“Kristi (and her family) is absolutely awesome with my dog, Gecko. She sends a bunch of photos of the fun activities they get up to and Gecko always comes home happy, healthy, and ready for a nap after all that play time. It’s so much easier to leave home knowing that Gecko is in great hands!”
“I’ve been using Rover for years and must say Katie + fam was top notch - one of the best Ive experienced! Such a sweet family, sent lots of pics and updates. I could tell my pup was well taken care of and gave me so much peace of mind while away. Couldn’t recommend enough! I will definitely be using Katie again in the future”
“Wonderful man! My dog loved him and had a great time. I was nervous leaving my dog with a rover sitter, but Philip kept me updated and sent me pics. I felt at peace knowing Stitch was with someone who truly cared about him.”
“Amazing! I booked a last minute stay over Fourth of July weekend and Mana was so accommodating. She squeezed in a pre stay introduction for the dogs, then took amazing care of Obi over the three days. I got so many photos (and a video) and she even refilled my poop bag dispenser from her own stash when ours ran out and sent obi home with a little extra treat. Outstanding sitter, would book again without hesitation.”
“Sheena took great care of my dog, Uno. She handled introductions between Uno and her own dog really well. She updated me with photos, and Uno looked like he was having a great time. It was clear he was in good hands and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Sheena to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter.”
“Great communication and Shiro seemed to have an amazing time with the other pups. Will definitely rebook! Thank you for all the photos sent during our time away”
“Cathleen took excellent care of Daisy. Second time we had Cathleen watch her & she ran to the door at drop off. We really appreciated the frequent updates and pictures. Could tell Daisy loved her time there.”
“Ali and her family (and Pepe!) are so great with our dog Hazelnut. I appreciate all the communication and pictures provided during the stay and our dog always comes back a happy pup!”
“Paige and her daughter took excellent care of Rocket. We really appreciated the updates and photos. When we picked him up, he was clean calm and well cared for. We highly recommend Paige. Cheers!”
“Maiko is the best!! She is super communicative and flexible. I got many photo updates throughout the weekend and it was clear my puppy Kenji was comfortable and loved. He is still young so he can be a handful. She was understanding of his quirks and accidents, which I really appreciated. He had plenty of adventures with her family and came home relaxed and happy. I highly recommend and will definitely book her again in the future!”
“Angela provided my dog with exceptional care! I would highly recommend her services for walks or boarding. My dog came home healthy and happy and Angela responded attentively to any of the questions or concerns I had prior to boarding.”
“Margaret and Tony gave us the rare gift of peace of mind. From the moment we met them, it was clear how much they genuinely care for animals. They were wonderful with our two dogs—patient, affectionate, and attentive to their routines. While we were out of the country, they kept us updated and made sure our pups felt safe and loved. We came home to dogs who were content, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We couldn’t ask for better sitters.”
“Andrew is awesome. This is the second time my dog stays with him for an extended period of time. When my travel plans got mixed up because of a contractor, Andrew offered to come to pick up Hazel last minute free of charge. Hazel went to the lake, hung out with a dog buddy and came home happy as a clam.”
“Thank you Jessica for another great weekend with Carl. We always feel so relaxed leaving him with you, we know he is going to get all the best attention, walks and care. Excellent communication and wonderful photos as always. Thanks again!”
About: A life time around dogs turns into exceptional pet care. Growing up, my family always had a furry companion so I believe a happy home is complete with tail wagging. I work remote every day of the week except Wednesdays when I am gone from 7A-5P, while my partner is a caretaker and is home every day, so your furry friend is always in good company. Pickup & Drop-Off 🦴 For everyone’s convenience, pickup and drop-off are preferred between 9 AM–9 PM. If you need an earlier or later time, feel free to ask. We’ll do our best to accommodate your schedule when possible. Safety is a priority, our home is equipped with gates to keep pets away from the front door and stairs while they’re allowed to free roam the main floor. Your pal will enjoy a fully fenced yard of a split level, hardwood home with both grassy and paved areas, offering a variety of surfaces for play. Along with shaded trees and garden beds that provide plenty of natural scents to keep curious noses engaged to sniff and explore during supervised outdoor time.
“Alexa was a fantastic care taker to my two border collies. I got frequent pictures and videos and it was clear my dogs settled in early! They were right at home. Alexa was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and I would absolutely use her again in the future. Your pets would be lucky to stay with her!”

“Just the sweetest person and so good with our babies. Also, quite the photographer I might add. She sent me quite a few good shots of my boys that will now be my phone background. 100% would recommend Qian.”
“Emily took great care of our kitties for the second time. Both are usually very scared of anyone other than us, but they were braver this time and came out from hiding more often!”
“Natalia is so great! She takes such good care of our kitties and they love her! She went above and beyond to care for our garden while we were away and it was super hot in Seattle. Don’t hesitate to book with Natalia!”
“Emily is fantastic! She's very communicative, easy-going, willing to go above and beyond without being asked to, and most importantly is obviously a huge pet lover and took excellent care of my rambunctious two kittens. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
“Ren makes an impression of reliable and responsible person from the very first minute. Good energy, proved by my cats’ behavior around her! Follows the directions, quick to reply, very thorough, spends enough time with pets. You can see she enjoys their company 🥰 I hope to work with her again, I can trust my babies to her 🐱”
“Megan did a great job taking care of our kitties. She sent great pictures, updates, and responded quickly. She was also accommodating with sending updates to both another family member and I, since I didn't have cell phone service on my trip.”
“Sara has been very responsive during the entire pet sitting for my cat Yuanbao. She is very kind and patient sitter who loves animals. And she listens carefully to all my special needs for Yuanbao, and she shows up on time for every visit and made sure my bay cat eat and drink and play with him. Would recommend her to all people who look for pet sitter in the future.”
“Emmeline is great. Clear communication and great with our cats with quality time when we were away. We will definitely use her again if we get the chance.”
“Audie was a fantastic cat sitter for our kitty, Shio. She went above and beyond to ensure that Shio was feeling comfortable and getting sufficient enrichment while we were away. For example, Audie brought over new toys, brushes, treats, and plates for Shio to try out-- and she let us know what Shio liked most. Audie was also willing to make an emergency visit to feed Shio when we realized that we accidentally left her food bowl empty. We definitely recommend Audie to anyone who wants to make sure their cat gets the care they deserve!”
About: My experience with dogs: -obedience training -puppies -energetic breeds -grooming/bathing -giving medication I live in a pet-friendly house with a fenced yard and near Greenlake and I have have hosted many dogs prior. I am an active individual (I teach Martial Arts) and I would rather hang out with animals than just about anything else. I am patient and consistent and will give my full attention to you pet when they are under my care. I am also more than happy to reinforce any training and behavior correction etc. you are working on with your dog. My teaching schedule offers some flexibility and I start my workday at noon during the week. Wednesdays and Sundays I have available and devoted specifically to dog-walking and sitting.
“Meagan always goes above and beyond when caring for our cats. We know they are in the best of hands everytime she comes by!! Wouldn’t recommend anyone else to someone looking for a sitter.”
About: Ive taken care of a variety of pets throughout my life. Often I have watched pets for friends and family, mostly dogs and a few cats. Ive owned exotic pets myself so I'm comfortable watching those too if need be. I'm currently on the hunt for a job and I need to earn some money in the meantime, so why not do that with one of things I love most- animals! I have lots of freetime, but I'd rather not start too early or go too late if possible. I have a pretty roomy apartment with two roommates who are all for having pets visit as we don't have any of our own. The neighborhoods near me are perfect for walks! If I'm at your place just tell me what I need to do and I'll do it. Feel free to leave me a list of anything you can think of!
About: For me, caring for cats isn’t just a job—it’s a chance to spend more time with a little soul who might otherwise be alone while their person is away. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love cats. I commit my time fully to every visit and always arrive on time without rushing or cutting visits short. I want each cat to feel comfortable, cared for, and never forgotten. I also enjoy building a bond with cats through play, patience, and positive reinforcement. With my own cat, I’ve taught tricks like shaking paws, spinning, and going to a designated spot. Every cat has their own personality, and I love taking the time to understand and respect it. During Each Visit, I’ll: 🥣 Refresh food and provide fresh water 🧹 Scoop and clean the litter box 🧸 Play with your cat or provide companionship based on their personality 🧼 Keep their feeding and litter areas clean and tidy 👀 Check on their overall well-being and look for anything unusual 📸 Send photos and a detailed update after each visit 🏠 Make sure doors, windows, and their space are safe and secure
About: I have taken care of dogs for 10+ years including medium and smaller dogs. I have always loved all animals and have recently been able to take care of a cat, so broadening my horizons. I’m a student teacher that is available before 7:30 and during my planning period and lunch as well as after school. I am done at 4 everyday and have my evenings and weekends free! I make sure the dog’s bathroom needs are taken care of, as well as giving them treats and feeding them. I play with them a lot and fun is very important to me! When I walk them, I am sure to follow all safety rules to ensure their protection. Safety and fun are my priority!
About: I’m comfortable caring for cats with different personalities and different levels of care needs. I’m patient with shy or cautious cats and always let them approach me at their own pace. I also have personal experience caring for a cat through a serious illness. When my own cat was young, he became very sick and required frequent trips to the vet and careful daily care. Going through that experience taught me to be attentive to changes in appetite, behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being. For every cat I care for, I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’ll make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, and a clean litter box, while also giving them playtime, attention, or simply quiet companionship depending on what they’re comfortable with. I know how hard it can be to leave your cat at home while you’re away, so I’ll do my best to give both you and your cat peace of mind.

“Felix has worked so diligently with our Tony and his patience has been such a breath of fresh air. He understands our dogs breed so well and really gets to the root of training so Tony can be the best dog he can be! Felix will continue to be a long term friend and go to for anything Tony wise. Thank you, Felix!”

“Mana kept us updated for our first doggie care experience. Our pug came home happy and relaxed! We appreciate Mana’s professional demeanor and help as we navigate leaving our fur baby on travel.”
“Sheena did an excellent job providing daycare for my pup, Hati. Hati was able to socialize with other dogs in a more personalized environment, play and be her silly self. This is so important for my partner and I since we work 9-12 hour shifts. Sheena sent us pictures of Hati having fun and an overall review. I’m beyond grateful for her services and would recommend Sheena to anyone.”
“Our puppy had such a great time with Carmen at daycare! He made so many friends and got a full day of fun - I couldn’t have asked for more! It was such a great opportunity to socialize and”

“My experience in working with Spring was excellent. She was extremely responsive in scheduling and throughout watching our pup. She took multiple photos throughout the day and was accommodating with our schedule. Highly recommend and will absolutely reach out to Spring again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. I had two dogs as a kid and now I own an amazing German Shepard Husky mix. I love and enjoy being around dogs and puppies. I work as a catering contractor. My job is very flexible and I create my own schedule. I have lots of free time to take care of your dogs. I have a large fenced yard at my house for my dog to run around in. I am good with crates and crate training if needed.
“Wonderful experience! My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable during her time with Margot. Communication was great, and I really appreciated the care and attention. I've already booked again! Highly recommend!”
About: We are a loving married couple of 14 years. Animals have been part of our lives for 25 years combined, starting well before we met. Lindsay grew up in a busy household with large dogs and cats, learning early on how to read animal behavior and stay calm under pressure. Zachary brings the same instinct, along with hands-on experience giving medications and caring for elderly pets who need extra patience and a gentle touch. Most recently, we said goodbye to our own dog, Wesley, a Yorkie who was part of our family for 16 wonderful years (yes, named after the hero in The Princess Bride). Caring for him in his senior years, including managing his medications and adjusting routines as his needs changed, gave us hands-on experience with the kind of attentive care that older pets and their owners deserve. We thrive on routine and understand how much pets and homes benefit from consistency. We will follow your schedules and feeding instructions closely. At the same time, we're genuinely flexible and comfortable adapting on short notice, whether that's an early arrival, a sudden schedule change, or a last-minute request. Lindsay is currently home full time and will be able to spend lots of quality time walking & loving on your pets. Zack is also working a hybrid, flexible schedule and will be around to give attention, cuddles and play time. We have a 3 story townhome with a large enclosed patio and a rooftop deck. We have dog gates and a medium sized dog door to allow in and out privileges if desired. We are able to accommodate crates, pets on furniture and pets in bed if that is their preference.
“Michelle was great! Our girl was relaxed and sleeping when we picked her up at end of day and smiling in the photo from their walk. We would be happy to have Michelle watch Soleil again in future.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have cared for dogs, cats, and even bunny rabbits. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small to large breeds. I’ve spent a lot of time around my family’s German Shepherd, which has given me plenty of hands on experience and confidence around high energy breeds. I currently have two cats of my own, so I’m also very familiar with caring for cats and all their different personalities and quirks! I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether that means going for walks, playing, keeping them mentally stimulated, or simply keeping them company while their family is away, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pets routine! I recently moved to the Seattle area and currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention! I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and accommodate specific scheduling needs. For doggy daycare, my property is fully fenced, including the front yard, so there’s an extra layer of security if pets are outside. I also have two cats who mostly keep to themselves and enjoy doing their own thing. If I’m doing drop-in visits or dog walking, I’ll treat your home like I would my own and make sure to leave it just as clean, if not cleaner, than I found it. I’m also more than happy to send photos and updates while you’re away so you know your pet is well taken care of! :-)
About: Dogs are family, and I treat every pup in my care like my own. I’m an experienced, dependable pet sitter who enjoys getting to know each dog’s quirks, personality and routine. I have experience caring for energetic puppies who need extra playtime, patience and attention, as well as senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra comfort and a little more TLC. No matter their age or personality, I’ll make sure your best friend feels right at home while their human is away! I work from home so I am very flexible to accommodate your pup’s routine into mine! I like to stay active with long walks with my own pup and going to nearby trails/swimming holes, and then curl up on the couch to unwind after we exercise. I’ll keep you updated with photos, messages and all the little details that help you feel connected so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. My home is a spacious apartment with a large, fenced in patio ideal for lounging in the sun, supervised outdoor time or simply watching the world go by. I also have a friendly 4 year old Golden Retriever named Captain who loves having new friends! I take introductions at each dog’s pace/comfort level and give them plenty of space to settle in. I want your dog to feel like they’re staying with a friend, not being boarded!
About: 🐕 I get it — your dog Is your best friend. I work from home, so I’m here all day for belly rubs, long walks, and neighborhood adventures. I only take one Rover dog at a time, so your pup gets my full attention. Dogs are welcome on the couch — and pretty much anywhere they feel comfortable. My own dog is friendly and playful and is an Einstein when it comes to sensing when another dog needs space. My house has a yard and has a laid back Summer Camp vibe. ❤️ I am self-employed and for the most part am home most of the day, so your dog will have my attention throughout the day. My schedule’s flexible, so I can stick to your dog’s routine. Your dogs needs are my perfect excuse to procrastinate. Neighborhood walks, playing fetch in the yard will give your dog lots of steady, loving attention throughout the day. 🏡 Safety and comfort are everything here. I live in my own home, and your dog will have full run of the space — no crates (unless requested), no off-limits furniture, and plenty of cozy places to relax. I only host one guest dog at a time, so your pup gets my full attention and a peaceful, low-stress environment. I do have one friendly resident dog who’s used to sharing and enjoys having new siblings. I always introduce dogs slowly to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Your dog will be treated like family — with lots of love, supervision, and space to just be a dog.

About: I have had many pets over the years and have a soft heart for all animals. I am communicative, follow instructions, and am very responsible. I always treat and care all animals i care for as if they were my own. Currently I have a flexible schedule. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and in home sitting currently. Feel free to message me with questions you may have! I believe that transparent communication and honesty are important to being good with pets. Each visit will get you 2-4 pictures and a detailed Rover card of the visit. Currently, I have a fully fenced in yard, understand leash safety and being a pet owner myself, understand the responsibility of pets.

“We’re so happy to have found such a kind and reliable dog walker! She’s incredibly sweet with our anxious senior pup, and her calm, gentle approach has made a big difference. Communication is always prompt and thoughtful, which gives us great peace of mind and makes it easy for us to schedule more walks with her.”
“Taylor was reliable and sweet with Whisky who loved going on sniffaris with her ❤️ She was great at keeping communication and updating me while I was away on business travel. Put me at ease for my first time away from the pup! Thank you, Taylor!!”
About: I have two British cats of my own, a 7-year-old British Shorthair and a 3-year-old British Longhair. I’ve had both of them since they were just 2 months old, so I’m very comfortable caring for kittens and understanding their needs as they grow. I’ve also helped friends care for their cats while they were away, providing short-term care in their homes. This has given me experience with cats who have different personalities, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is my patience and attention to detail. I understand that some cats are social and playful, while others are shy or independent and need more time to feel comfortable. I’m happy to follow each cat’s individual routine and give them the space and attention they need. During each visit, I can take care of feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I’ll also pay attention to their behavior and well-being and send you photos and updates so you can feel reassured while you’re away. I’ll care for your cats with the same patience, love, and attention I give my own. 🐱 I work part-time, so my schedule is very flexible and I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I can usually accommodate drop-in visits in the morning, afternoon, or evening, depending on your cat’s routine and needs. I’m happy to work around your schedule and make sure your cat receives consistent, attentive care while you’re away. I’ll always follow your instructions and keep you updated with photos and messages during my visits. I currently have two cats of my own, so I can accommodate up to one additional cat in my home at a time. I would make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and separate space to settle in, while carefully following their feeding and care routine. For drop-in visits at a client’s home, I focus on keeping the cat’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’ll provide fresh food and water, clean the litter box, spend time playing or keeping them company, and give them attention based on their personality and comfort level. I’ll always follow your specific instructions and treat your home and your cat with care and respect. I’ll also send photos and updates during each visit so you know how your cat is doing while you’re away.

Sometimes when I open my front door in the morning there are deer in front of my gate waiting to see what will happen at breakfast time. Travel/Work/experience: 1993-1994 Worked for a historical museum in Ukraine. Was responsible for finding and conducting video interviews with Ukrainian Holocaust survivors.

I currently have a staff of over 50 teachers teaching English, German, French, Russian, Spanish, Italian as well as Slovak for the many foreign managers living and working in multinational companies. My school cooperates with most of the large multinational companies in the area. I also cooperate quite closely with the local and state police departments as well as the mayor and city council all of whom are my students. While I will be house-sitting for you I will be managing my private Language School online. I will always have time to take care of the homes that I sit for as well as the pets regular routine. I always try my best to maintain the same pet schedule. 1st of all I LOVE ANIMALS! Our home in Slovakia is located up on the hill in the woods overlooking the lake. We have a large orchard and our nearest neighbor is about 300 m from us. We currently have 7 cats in various phases of either living, hanging out, or adding us to their busy social/feeding routine. During the Summer I take care of 2 friends' homes so I take care of their dogs, cats, fish, and even a very old turtle. as well. I travel to the U.S. regularly to visit friends/family each and this website is a perfect fit for my lifestyle as I manage my school remotely. To be quite honest, for all of the travelling I have done over the past 30 years, I have not travelled nor experienced the U.S. much which is another reason I have joined this website. I thought it would be a great way to see the U.S. as well as spend time with lots of great pets! I could take you anywhere you wanted on the Budapest metro blindfolded but have never been to Washington D.C. for example. Please feel free to contact me so we can speak in person about your pets, home and your requirements.

“John helped us with walking our Dachshund, Cody, daily for the past week. He was amazing—I will definitely work with him in the future and recommend him 100%.

And took lots of cute pictures of Cody for us! Very reliable and above and beyond care.”

“Our pup stayed for 16 days with Ina and Curry. We got daily pictures and emails which totally made us feel at ease. She had lots of other dogs to play with and tons of room to run around! I think she had a great time and we are grateful for the care for our furry family member. ❤️”
“As always, our dog had a wonderful time with Celeste and Rafael. They took such good care of him and kept us updated on all of their fun adventures. We will definitely be using them again!”
“I’ve been using Rover for years and must say Katie + fam was top notch - one of the best Ive experienced! Such a sweet family, sent lots of pics and updates. I could tell my pup was well taken care of and gave me so much peace of mind while away. Couldn’t recommend enough! I will definitely be using Katie again in the future”
“Wonderful man! My dog loved him and had a great time. I was nervous leaving my dog with a rover sitter, but Philip kept me updated and sent me pics. I felt at peace knowing Stitch was with someone who truly cared about him.”
“Sheena took great care of my dog, Uno. She handled introductions between Uno and her own dog really well. She updated me with photos, and Uno looked like he was having a great time. It was clear he was in good hands and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Sheena to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter.”

“Maiko is the best!! She is super communicative and flexible. I got many photo updates throughout the weekend and it was clear my puppy Kenji was comfortable and loved. He is still young so he can be a handful. She was understanding of his quirks and accidents, which I really appreciated. He had plenty of adventures with her family and came home relaxed and happy. I highly recommend and will definitely book her again in the future!”
“Carolyn took such good care of Timber while we were away for a long weekend. He was a total member of her house, went to the dog park and even a hike! We felt totally at ease knowing he was in her care. Thanks again Carolyn!!!”
“Best dog sitter I’ve used to date! Our dog seemed so happy in the daily pictures. He got so many walks. It was a relief to take a vacation and not worry! Highly recommend!!!!”
“Margaret and Tony gave us the rare gift of peace of mind. From the moment we met them, it was clear how much they genuinely care for animals. They were wonderful with our two dogs—patient, affectionate, and attentive to their routines. While we were out of the country, they kept us updated and made sure our pups felt safe and loved. We came home to dogs who were content, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We couldn’t ask for better sitters.”
“Don was a great sitter for my dog, Momo! He boarded with him for the weekend and had a great time playing with a couple other dogs. Don was very helpful and experienced in taking care of Momo, even with Momo needing some additional help taking medication. Would happily board with him again!”
“Andrew is awesome. This is the second time my dog stays with him for an extended period of time. When my travel plans got mixed up because of a contractor, Andrew offered to come to pick up Hazel last minute free of charge. Hazel went to the lake, hung out with a dog buddy and came home happy as a clam.”
“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.”
“we’d never left our five year old doodle overnight and were nervous. the nerves changed to total delight as our pup fell head over heels in love with Rachel and she with him. I can’t recommend her highly enough. She really provides a home away from home for your dog.”
“Alexa was a fantastic care taker to my two border collies. I got frequent pictures and videos and it was clear my dogs settled in early! They were right at home. Alexa was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and I would absolutely use her again in the future. Your pets would be lucky to stay with her!”
