“Wow Alexa and her family go above and beyond in making sure your fur baby is well taken care of, and that you are thoroughly communicated with every step of the way. Truly, she is an exceptional sitter, and Stella came home well-rested, comfortable, and anxiety free (rare for her!!!). Expectations entirely exceeded!! Thank you!!”
“Yingqi was outstanding. Very communicative sending photos and videos and took excellent care of our dog. I felt comfortable knowing that she was in great hands and my dog looked really happy being there. Would definitely book again!”
“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.”
“Jessica was an amazing dogsitter for our pup who stayed with her for a full week. Jessica communicated with us often while our dog was with her and cared for him as if he was her own dog. It's clear she has a love for dogs and a lot of experience caring for them. Jessica's care gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were on vacation. I would fully recommend Jessica without any reservations. ★★★★★”
“Jerica is great! We found her on Rover 3 weeks before our 8-day trip when our regular dog sitter would not be available. I was nervous leaving Archie with a new sitter at first, but she took great care of Archie. Jerica works from home. She has a yard and an adorable corgi so our beagle had someone to play with. Jerica took Archie on walks with her corgi and let Archie snuggle with her at night. It worked out great. She kept us updated every day and sent us lots of photos. We would definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Ana was super friendly and easy to communicate with. From all the pictures she sent,’it looks like my dog Oscar had a great time. Thank you so much! I’ll definitely be back”
“Ponyo did a great job helping my pup feel comfortable with a pet sitter for the first time! Thanks for the regular updates so I knew he was doing well and in good hands!”
“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.”
“Adam was super responsive and took great care of boomer, on short notice no less. He made sure to get all the info for care on boomer at a meet and greet and was very communicative! I could tell boomer was happy and well taken care of when I picked her up. Would def recommend Adam for anyone looking for exceptional care!”
“Carolyn was a great sitter for my puppy Pearl! Flexible with timing, sent multiple picture updates, and adapted to Pearl’s puppy behavior wonderfully. She had a positive attitude, good communication, and safe home for my puppy’s stay.”
“Felix was an incredible dog-sitter! Shared lots of photos and videos, plus humorous 2x daily summaries of our quirky dog’s adventures, leaving me confident our Pug was having fun, well loved and cared for! Our dog got along great with Felix and his Boxer! Felix provided prompt and thorough feedback. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“A quick refresher stay for my older dog before a lengthier stay next week. As always Lorena was patient and gentle with Oliver as he gets more nervous as he ages. Reliable sitter, recommend.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Jiani provided attentive care for my cat while we were away for a week. My cat, Todie, stayed with Jiani at her place, and Todie is usually very shy and nervous in new places. With frequent photo updates from Jiani, I was able to tell that Todie grew comfortable in her care rather quickly, and it relieved much stress on my end. Jiani was very flexible with picking up Todie and dropping her back off, too, which made planning easy for me! I will absolutely rebook with Jiani in the future!”
“So grateful to Megan for her amazing communication, accommodating my needs with drop off/pick up and of course, best of all, the amazing love and care that Gemma received!”
“Devan was great! Checked in with us regularly to let us know how Blaze was doing and settling in. I could tell that Blaze was well cared for and had a great time with Devan and his partner! Will definitely use him again!”

“The kitty media posts are raving about Amy, “six paws…she’s the best” amidst chants of “Amy, Amy!” Our cats simply adore her, begging us to invite her back whenever possible. The humans here think Amy is spectacular, and she’s the most amazing pet photographer😻😻😻”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was about 15. I have lots of experience with administering medication, cleaning litter boxes, and understanding a cat’s comfort level with interaction and affection. I have cared for a wide range of cats, from extremely friendly to uncomfortable with strangers.
“Thank you so much Shan for taking care of my kitty. I was able to be stress free during my travel knowing my kitty was in good hands with Shan.

Shan took great care of my kitty, she played with him and gave me lots of videos. Will get Shan again to take care of my kitty.”

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.
About: I've had pets since I was little. I started cat sitting and pet sitting for neighbors once I graduated high school, animals are a big part life! I'm working full time, so I'll be able to work from 8am-9pm Sunday through Saturday for pet sitting and walking! House sitting can be any hours. My home has a grey kitty who's not the biggest fan of other animals, I'll be working outside of it! Whatever is needed, I will happily do in my client's house and neighborhood.
About: I have two cats! Raised my gucci (tuxedo) for almost four years since baby, and recently adopted a new black cat called luna! I love love love kitties so much they’re my favorite! I know to always respect them and be patient and not push their boundaries and that their needs are very different from dogs. But I will try my best to play with them and even give them pets if they let me :3 Oh! I also have 10+ cats in the philippines! Pet all the kitties I see on the street! Pspspsps at the ones behind windows haha
“Isabella did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was on vacation. She reached out before her visits and even offered to do a meet up before I left town. She was very responsive with messages and sent me pictures every visit to show me that my cats were doing well and that their food and litter box were taken of. I would definitely recommend her for your cats.”
“Brittany did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats! She was extremely quick to respond and I received pictures and updates for every visit. One of them typically disappears when new people are in the house, but she was completely comfortable with Brittany and did not hide away. It was very comforting to know that the kitties were happy and well taken care of while I was away. :)”
“Hannah’s so great with Beau! Thanks for being so communicative with me the whole time and sweet with him, looks like he had a blast with you and got some good cuddles/play time in.”
“Allison was a fantastic cat sitter for our opinionated cat! She took great photos and updated us on Cali’s condition in detail. We’d definitely ask her to cat sit again if she is up for it!”
“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 ☺️”
“Nicolas is a fantastic cat sitter! I got photos and updates after each visit and my anixous kitty warmed right up to him. My cat had a slight dental emergency while I was away and he kept me updated”
“Tori was great with my two senior kitties! Very responsive, flexible, and diligent. She has a calming presence my boys really appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“Caleb was a fantastic cat sitter! He was reliable and communicative. He sent us daily updates with pictures and most importantly, Caleb gave us peace of mind knowing our cat was in good hands. We'll definitely be using Caleb again next time we need a sitter.”
“10/10 recommend!!! Allison sent constant updates on my 17 yr old kitty while I was on a long trip. She made me feel informed and relieved that my old guy was in such loving hands. Thank you so much Allison and I will reach out if I need your help again!!!”
“TingTing is such a wonderful cat sitter. She was very caring to our older cat and she was a great communicator letting us know how everything was going. I especially appreciate how accommodating she was of his special needs as an older cat. She helped encourage him to eat and drink which gave me a lot of peace of mind while away. I would definitely hope to have TingTing care for our cat in the future.”

About: I have a variety of experience house, dog, and cat sitting for animals of all ages, and many with medical needs. I am personable and punctual, and have a very flexible day-to-day schedule and love to meet new pets! Open for short notice bookings! I work fully remotely, and so have a very flexible daily schedule, into which some pet time fits great. I have plenty of free time on a weekly basis for unique needs and timing.

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.

About: I have always had a soft spot for animals and lived with cats. I started getting into pet sitting when I would walk an elderly neighbor’s little terrier, and I thought hey, why not turn this into a business? Now, I’m happy to care for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! I am currently working my main job on a flexible schedule, so I am happy to accommodate pet care at most times of the day and accept last minute bookings. I have completely open availability on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. ** I am moving on August 18, so I will not be accepting bookings for now after that date. My approach is to adapt to whatever routine is best for your pet in your home. Especially with cats, I find it best to follow their lead.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 10, and have had dogs my whole life. I have experience with elderly animals, and some experience with training and reinforcement of training. I have experience caring for animals with separation anxiety and can follow any special instructions you may have regarding your pet! I am a part-time student taking online classes and have a very flexible schedule. I am generally available at any time of day, any day of the week. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, and will treat your home with the upmost respect. I understand that your home is where your pet feels the most comfortable, so I will do my best not to disturb that environment and ensure both their comfort and safety while you are away.
About: I have 6 pets as of now, but have had a total of 8. I am very experienced in caring for both cats and dogs, having grown up with them, and am well-versed in walking, feeding, and loving these animals. I have experience in dealing with health issues and administering medication in the form of oral syrups/pills and injections (diabetic and acid reflux). I am currently a student at UW, but have an open schedule over the summer. I am available over the weekends and weekdays between 9 am and 11 pm for drop-ins. But if there are special instructions, we can always sort out a plan that suits both parties, as I am flexible! My services will mostly be given at my client's house as I live with roommates who have allergies. I am incredibly open and encourage scheduling meetings and interviews beforehand to ensure that this arrangement works for both parties. Regarding caring for the animals, I would spend ample time getting to know your pets, not only to make sure that they are getting emotional care, but to build a trusting relationship that will allow me to walk, feed, and care for them. As mentioned, I have experience in handling medication should the situation need it, as long as I am told and shown the procedure beforehand.
“Isabella is awesome! We’ve used her several times for walks now and Frankie always comes back super happy. Will definitely continue using Isabella for more walks in the future”
“Samantha was a fantastic help with morning walks during our last vacation. She was so good with our older, special needs dogs and even our younger dog, who’s nervous around strangers, was eager to go on walks with her. Thank you for all the awesome TLC for our pack!”
“My dog Doja has a lot of energy, is still a puppy, and weighs 65 pounds. She is not an easy dog to handle. Brittany handled Doja very well and she came back a happy dog. I will definitely be booking Brittany again in the future.”
“Sebastian is kind, honest, reliable and communicative. He’s gone above and beyond to support my app-related questions, and he’s becoming an invaluable asset for Toby’s quality of life.”
About: I've taken care of people's pets, and my own, since childhood. From dogs of all sizes, to bunnies, and more, I'm comfortable with it all! I look forward to caring for your furry loved ones! I currently have a relatively open schedule to meet your pet or house sitting needs. Let me know and I can likely accommodate your requests! I hope to bring a kind and fun presence for your pet in their own home and am well versed in gentle introductions. I know every pet has their own preferences and needs, and I enjoy both a calm, relaxing drop in visit, and an energetic trek through the park, depending on what's best for them!

“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: Demonstrating care, kindness, and diligence with pets is the cornerstone of my approach. Having 4+ years experience as a pet owner and dog-sitter, I’m comfortable around dogs of all temperaments and sizes: nervous, energetic, relaxed, big or small. It’s often the highlight of my day. I’m aware of best practices with pets and willing to adapt to special circumstances/needs. Consider me for your pet care needs and I’ll treat them like family. Very flexible schedule. Weekends and weekdays okay. I love going on walks, so I can take a dog near or far with ease, depending on their needs or capabilities. Regular feeding and walking schedules are essential to keeping pets happy and healthy. Other than being attentive to the pet, my goal is to be as minimally intrusive as possible so the client can leave and return with peace of mind.
“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!”
“Ginger is great! She has been a huge help with walking Murphy and fitting him in at quick notice. She responds fast, has been reliable, trustworthy and kind. I recommend her!”
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.
About: I have had at least one dog in my family since I was born, so I have been constantly surrounded by these wonderful animals my entire life (and wouldn't have it any other way). I thrive on the connections I can make with animals, and know how to curate a calming yet playful environment so both my pets and those I dog-sit feel safe and supported. Growing up, I helped teach my dogs tricks, potty train, walk and do heavy exercise (ball-chasing, etc.), as well as comforting my elder dogs in their final moments of life. From puppies to senior canines, I have been around it all! I am in a graduate student at the University of Washington, currently on a part-time student schedule which frees up time for me to pursue opportunities I care about, such as pet care. Aside from class time on weekdays, I am willing to work with clients on a flexible schedule to care for pets weekdays and/or weekends. I am easily adaptable in new environments and do not mind entering homes/yards in order to provide the best care for your pet. I want to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible for drop-in visits and/or walks around a neighborhood/park/etc.

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!”
“Kathryn and Mark were awesome taking care of my Ruka. Very communicative and sent great pictures. Kathryn went above and beyond with my girl and I'm so thankful for them! Would board with them anytime!”
“Erica was fantastic! She took great care of Georgia. She had so much fun, and was looking for them when she came home. I would absolutely recommend Erica for your pet sitting and daycare needs.”
“Eric was extremely communicative and quick to respond with any questions throughout our dog’s stay. He sent so many photos and we swear our dog has never looked happier in any photos we take of her at home so proof that Eric’s care was wonderful!”
“Sheena did so well with my two kiddos! Sterling can be a bit of a handful--he has anxiety and special needs (and is a bit of a grumpy old man). I can tell that she followed the most important directions I gave her based on his condition when I picked them up, I am very grateful. 🙂”
“Serena and Peter were awesome Rover hosts for Paddington! He's a senior doggy and they were attentive to his needs. They took plenty of pictures and were very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. We will definitely repeat if they will have us!”
“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!”
“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!”
About: Over the years, my husband and I have shared our lives with all kinds of dogs: farm dogs, little dogs, a Great Dane in a studio apartment, and now our Mini Australian Shepherd. We have learned and refined our dog ownership skills over time, finally investing in professional training for both our dog and ourselves in 2025. That experience shaped the kind of care I offer today. I believe dogs thrive with clear structure, consistency, and calm communication. I strive to provide the kind of boarding experience I wish I could find for my own dog, where training, routines, and boundaries are respected while you're away. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my day. We have a large, fully fenced backyard, daily walks, and a very friendly Mini Australian Shepherd who enjoys canine company. Your dog won't be left alone for a typical workday. I do leave the house for school drop-offs and pick-ups, errands, or weekend activities. Dogs should be comfortable being alone for a few hours. Because I have both a young child and my own dog, I only accept dogs that: -Are friendly with children and other dogs. -Are up to date on vaccinations and flea prevention. -Can comfortably settle into a family home.
“Randsell was super communicative and was very caring! I could tell our cat was very reluctant in parting ways with her when I went to pick him up. I'm very grateful she was available last minute for our trip to cat sit.”
