“Our Mini Schnauzer Carl had a wonderful time again with Jessica and Mochi. We receive multiple updates and photos per day. Carl got lots of walks and play time. Timeliness and detail of communication is always perfect. Thanks so much!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Lauren was amazing! Our pup was super happy and well cared for. She quickly picked up on all of his quirks and funny routines, and stayed in great touch along the way. Highly recommend Lauren!”
“Regina was amazing!!! She kept me informed with photos and even let me extend my dogs stay an extra five hours! She was very caring for Cooper. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“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!”
“Ningning is a great sitter, and her own dog, Chase, is a sweetie. She provided lots of walks and playtime for our active dog, Murphy, and accommodated Murphy’s schedule even though it didn’t align with her usual one. Chase was a wonderful companion to Murphy as well! She sent lots of pictures and videos of their activities and the dogs playing together. 10/10!!”
“Ana took amazing care of my dog! She gave me frequent updates and pictures about how my pup was doing. I could tell how much love, attention, and care her and her daughter were giving to my dog. They took her on frequent walks and even took her hiking! I very strongly recommend Ana!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“We also appreciated Adam’s communication and flexibility, as well as his comfort with our sometimes nervous yet larger dog. He updated us and was very thorough and Greta was a happy and comfortable pup at pickup. Highly recommended!”
“Mengyuan did such a great job with both my cat and dog. I received updates and pictures from her daily, she is very attentive and communicative, I would book her again and would also recommend her to anyone!”
“Joey had the most wonderful stay with Debra! She was so kind and sweet, and understood Joey’s needs as a senior citizen pup. As he’s an old pup his legs are a bit weak; Debra went the extra mile to set up a carpet path and extra bedding to make sure he was comfortable and could walk around. She sent consistent updates and lots of photos. Truly made Joey feel welcome and was the best experience we could have ever had!”
“Vadzim was incredibly responsive with updates and photos of our pups. We felt very comfortable with them in his care. He let them get cozy on the couch and bed like they do at home and took them on walks! Highly recommend! Will be using Vadzim any time we need a dog sitter 🙂”
“Amazing 5 star sitter! Lili was obviously so comfortable and snuggled Eric several times before we left because she was so at home. Eric is a great communicator and we got regular fixes of photos of our princess while we were gone.”
“Davis was an incredible sitter for Cannoli! He was flexible, communicative, and most importantly, took Cannoli everywhere with him. For anyone looking for anything from a sitter for several days to a walker, I highly recommend Davis.”
“Maria took great care of Scout and gave him lots of love and attention and took him on nice walks. She is A#1! Highly recommend! I wouldn't hesitate to leave Scout with her anytime.”

“Erin was awesome! We’ve been having trouble recently with Kitty not wanting to interact with any pet sitters. Erin was able to coax Kitty out of her den and made sure she got some playtime. We really appreciate the time and effort she put in with Kitty!”
“Olena was great with our cats! We reached out to her very last minute, but she responded quickly and made herself available for a Meet and Greet before we had to leave on our trip. She took lots of pictures of our cats and was responsive to all of my messages while we were traveling. I felt very comfortable that our cats were well taken care of while we were gone ☺️”
“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!”
“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!”
“We are so grateful for Amy! Our kitty took to her right away despite sometimes being a shy guy, and we knew he was in good hands. Communication and services were excellent! I feel relieved knowing our sweet cat is in her care. Thank you Amy!”
“Kimberly did a fantastic job taking care of our kitty cat. We always received a very detailed write-up and photos after every visit. Our cat gets wet food with medication, Kimberly made sure she received her medication, and even cleaned all the dishes after every feeding. Our cat is very particular about who she likes and she and Kimberly got along very well. We would definitely hire Kimberly again to take care of our fur baby 💕.”
“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!!”
“Great attitude of friendliness and helpfulness. Easy to talk to and a real cat friend. My Laza was grumpy but Katelyn was very patient with him and so he came around which is a big deal for us. Thank you!”
“Noele goes above and beyond! Being away from my kitty is always hard and knowing Noele is checking in on him gives me great peace of mind when I’m away. She’s so thoughtful and attentive to his needs.”
“Sami was super awesome and considerate! Tuna was well taken care of and very happy with her. She did everything I asked and the communication was excellent. I would definitely get her to look after Tuna again.”
“Laura was able to cat and tortoise sit for us with just a few days notice. Both animals were very content when we arrived back home and she sent lots of photos to keep us updated. We will definitely have Laura back in the future.”
“Stephanie has been amazing with drop-in visits with our kitty. We have contacted her a few times the last couple of months and come home to a very happy kitty! Thank you!”
“Braxton watched both our cats while we were away. He did a pre meet and greet with us which made us way more comfortable. I could tell he cared and paid close to attention to all the instructions. He sent photo and video updates each visit, and took the time to play with our babies. We’ll definitely be using him again in the future!”
“Elizabeth did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Dulce, while I was on vacation. My cat is not the friendliest, but she really understood her and took time to make her feel as comfortable as she could be. Definitely recommend!”
“Catherine was a perfect pet sitter! Executed directions as intended, communicated proactively, went above and beyond to help clean up unexpected messes, and sent me pics of my fur baby while I was gone. I’ll definitely be hiring her again!”

“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!”
“Nahiely took great care of my dog Piper while I was out for the day. She was very communicative and flexible when my pickup time was later than expected. I would book 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!”
“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!”
“Devan was awesome! Great communication and a natural at connecting with dogs and keeping them engaged. Benji did not want to leave! We hope to see Devan again!”
About: I 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.
“Zhongni was reliable, attentive, and took great care in creating a fun and comfortable space for Benji. I appreciated the walks and photo updates. Benji was sad to leave! We hope to see Zhongni again soon!”
“Scott has been a great sitter for Millie! He is reliable and punctual, always meeting me downstairs at the arranged time for an efficient pick-up/drop-off. Millie loves going to daycare in the morning and comes home happy and well taken care of!”
“Thư was great with our dog, kept him engaged and entertained and kept me updated with photos and videos. The dog was very quickly comfortable with her and was sad to see her walk away when I picked him up. A really good sign that he enjoyed his stay. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“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.”
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.
“we had a great experience with eric! He watched our two pups for daycare and was incredibly communicative throughout the day—sending lots of photo updates and checking in often. One of my dogs is usually very fearful of new people, but he was patient and kind, and she warmed up to him quickly. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We highly recommend eric !”
“My 1yo pup can be anxious alone and when left with new people, but Jeremy and him instantly became buddies. Jeremy shared regular updates, was super communicative, and even did research on my dog’s breed to better understand how to best make him comfortable! Highly recommend!”
“Ling has taken great care of my dog. She communicates quickly over messages, takes my pup on frequent walks, and provides detailed updates throughout the stay. I don't think there's anything she could do better and my dog always comes back happy 🙂.”
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 did a lovely job watching our dog. She is such a professional - asks all the right questions, communicates well, and provides a great experience for the pup. We were very happy to have her look after the big guy for an afternoon and were really pleased! We highly recommend her.”

“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.”
“Elizabeth has been such a great dog walker for my pup Mila! She sends me the best updates throughout the walks and I feel great knowing that she’s taking good care of my girl. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a walker 😊”
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.
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.
“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”
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 been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. I grew up with cats and small animals, including gerbils, guinea pigs, and hamsters, and I also helped care for my sister’s dog when he was a puppy, so I’m very comfortable with high-energy, playful dogs and understand the patience and consistency puppies need while they’re learning and growing. My senior cat recently passed away from old age and kidney disease, which gave me extensive experience administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and providing extra care and comfort to pets with special needs. I bring that same level of attentiveness and care to every animal I look after. I’m very active, love dogs, and enjoy being outdoors—so long walks, playtime, and exercise are something I genuinely enjoy providing. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a relaxed companion, or a senior needing extra support, I’ll adjust to their personality and routine so they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Born and raised in Seattle’s Central District, I know the city well and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and reliable. I will always treat your dog like part of my own family. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home as a Program Manager at a nonprofit that helps people with disabilities find employment, so I have a flexible schedule throughout the day. My work is computer-based, which means I can easily adjust my day around pet care needs, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication schedules, and companionship breaks. If your pet needs company during the day, I’m also able to work from your home since I only need my laptop to do my job. This allows me to provide consistent presence, attention, and supervision for pets who do best with someone around. Overall, my flexible remote work setup makes it easy for me to integrate pet care into my routine and ensure your pet is well cared for, comfortable, and not left alone for long periods. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I always follow the pet’s established routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication instructions, and any specific behavioral or medical needs. I take time to understand each pet’s personality so I can help them feel secure and reduce stress while their owner is away. I am very clean, tidy, and respectful in other people’s homes, and I always treat each space with care and consideration. I understand I am a guest in your home and make sure to leave everything as I found it. I am very attentive to safety during walks and outdoor time, always using secure leashes and staying aware of surroundings, other animals, and potential hazards. I also make sure doors, gates, and entry points are properly secured in the home so pets cannot accidentally get out. If a pet needs medication or has special care requirements, I am experienced and comfortable following detailed instructions and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. Most importantly, I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and never alone for too long.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since high school and raised my own pup for 16 wonderful years, so I have real experience with senior dogs and their special needs. I offer regular walks and overnight stays at your home, giving your dog the comfort of familiar surroundings. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a senior who needs a little extra gentleness, I’ll treat them like family. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to give to your pets! I do walking trails almost everyday and I recently lost my fur family member of 16 years, so my walks need a companion. I love giving attention to high energy dogs or just chilling with the dogs that love to sniff. My passion is in giving dogs the best lives possible in their short time with us. I want to walk dogs to stay active and keep your pup healthy for many years to come. 🐾🎾🌳 I like to be with the dogs as much as possible when I am dog sitting in someone else’s home. Because I find most dogs like the company, I’ve even managed to get the grumpier old dogs to cuddle next to me. You can expect clear and timely communication from me when looking after your pets as well as a few cute photos!
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 grew up with a cat and labrador retriever in the house and took responsibility for their care. I have two cats that I love very much :) I have experience in a veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant and have been around a wide range of animals. I have experience with daily care, cleaning, playing, walking, and keeping an eye on anything amiss. I’m currently working part-time, so I have availability majority of the time. My cats are independent so I am able to house sit as well as leave for extended periods of time to care for other animals. I am an active person and am outside very often. I can easily take your dog on walks, as I live near a lot of walking trails. I have a car which provides me reliable transportation. I care most about animals well-being and safety and will communicate as often as possible.
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.
“Sebastian was super responsive!! I appreciated his check-ins and being really responsive about what was going on. He sent videos and photos which was awesome. Would definitely ask him back!”
About: Hi! My name is Emery, and I have several years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Ever since I was young, I’ve helped my aunt care for dogs and cats through her in-home pet care and boarding business, giving me hands-on experience with a wide variety of pets and their individual needs. My passion for animal care began while helping care for my own elderly dog, which taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and paying close attention to each pet’s comfort. I also have experience administering oral medications, including providing my elderly dog with GABA as part of his care. Whether your pet is energetic and loves long walks or is a senior who needs a slower pace and extra support, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. If your older dog still enjoys getting outside but can’t walk long distances, I’m more than willing to accommodate them, even if that means using a stroller so they can safely enjoy some fresh air. I understand how important it is to keep your pet’s routine consistent, so I’m committed to carefully following all instructions and preferences you provide. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I also love keeping owners connected while they’re away and am happy to send regular updates and plenty of photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk, a drop-in visit, or extended care, my goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and secure. I would be honored to care for your furry family member and look forward to meeting both you and your pet! I’m a college student and am currently only taking classes from 6-8:30 pm, Monday and Wednesday. Outside these windows of time I have plenty of availability! I am comfortable walking your dog outside and have had experience with protecting my own dog in hostile situations whether that be at a dog park or on a walk. I am able to crate your dog based on their needs, administer medication as needed (capsule or oral), or even follow strict feeding regimens.

“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!”
“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.”
“Regina was amazing!!! She kept me informed with photos and even let me extend my dogs stay an extra five hours! She was very caring for Cooper. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“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 also appreciated Adam’s communication and flexibility, as well as his comfort with our sometimes nervous yet larger dog. He updated us and was very thorough and Greta was a happy and comfortable pup at pickup. Highly recommended!”
“Amazing 5 star sitter! Lili was obviously so comfortable and snuggled Eric several times before we left because she was so at home. Eric is a great communicator and we got regular fixes of photos of our princess while we were gone.”
“Davis was an incredible sitter for Cannoli! He was flexible, communicative, and most importantly, took Cannoli everywhere with him. For anyone looking for anything from a sitter for several days to a walker, I highly recommend Davis.”
“Pixel absolutely loves his time with Catherine. She is a great communicator, pays close attention to Pixel's instructions sheet, and he is always in great spirits when we get him back. Thank you!”
“Kaia always loves staying with Jennifer! She gets so excited when we're near her home. Jennifer is such a great sitter to work with - she communicates well, is flexible and takes such great care of Kaia. I know our dog is in good hands when we're away!”
“Philip was exceptional at watching our puppy Charlie. While we were gone, he’d send us pictures of Charlie, my kids loved seeing him while we were gone over two weeks. He took him on walks, played with him and let him lounge on his couch together. Very last minute I asked if Philip would be okay administrating medications to our dog that he needed and he was very flexible and had no issues doing so. Our go to guy for future needs. So grateful for honest and kind people like Philip who will treat your pet as their own family member. Charlie is the happiest I’ve ever seen him, truly.”
“Momo had another excellent stay with Kandice, she looks forward to staying with Kandice and meeting all her best buddies. Kandice was great as always, even offering Momo a late brunch when she decided to skip breakfast on some days! Love the absolutely beautiful photographs that Kandice took of Momo on her walks and her play! She came back a happy puppy!”
“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!”
“Michelle loves dogs! She took such good care of our pup, and sent frequent reports and photos. Every picture showed a very happy little dog. I can't recommend Michelle highly enough. Your dog will have a great time, and will be very well cared for.”
“Erica did a great job, Abbi had fun snuggling with her new friends and came back happy and well rested. Erika sent updates daily with pictures which I always appreciate. I would definitely use Erica’s services again in the future.”
“Jeremy did a great job watching my dog for a long stretch at the holidays. He took her on adventures, sent updates and communications, and she came back very happy.”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
