Personalized care for your dog or cat - West Seattle

Highly-rated overnight sitters - West Seattle
“Jessica was great! She was communicative throughout, and I felt really comfortable leaving Dakota with her. Her dog, Ollie, is super sweet, and he and Dakota got along really well. I’d definitely book with her again!”


“Brenda took wonderful care of our dog, Zelda, during our 4 day trip. Zelda can be a finicky eater and also chews up paper, so leaving her with a caring and attentive Rover really helps us be able to travel with ease. Zelda did great under Brenda's care, and came home happy and healthy. I definitely recommend booking with Brenda and will rebook in the future! Thank you so much!”

“Jana and her family have been an absolute gift. Summer is a very reserved, apprehensive little dog who has never stayed in someone else's home before, so I was understandably nervous. From the moment we met, Jana and her family were patient, gentle, and took the time to earn Summer's trust rather than expecting it. They cared for her as if she were their own, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was safe, comfortable, and in such a calm, loving home while our house was filled with the chaos of repairs, packing, and moving. Summer came home happy and relaxed, and I've already booked Jana again for several more stays. I couldn't recommend her more highly.”


“Gregg is so kind and awesome with doggos! He was great with Leo, giving him lots of walks and time playing with the ball. Gregg shared regular updates and it was clear Leo was in a safe, fun place. Thank you!!”

“I’m so grateful to have found Maria! My little guy had such a wonderful time with her and her and the little friends she had ready for him to play with. I’m sure he is looking forward to the next time I have to leave town and he gets to go back for another beach vacation!”

“Kevin and Kandice were fantastic! My pup loved them since the first moment he met them. They kept me updated and my pup looked so happy! I highly recommend them!”

“This is the longest my pup has stayed with Matt and I was afraid she wasnt going to want to come back home from how much fun she had. You wont regret using Matt as your dog boarder”

“Maria, Kalyan, and Nikko do it again! We are so so lucky to have found this little family who welcomes Millie into their home and treats her like one of their own. We left her with them for two weeks over the holidays and they showered her with love, treats, attention, walks, and even gifts. It’s really hard to imagine better sitters! They are super communicative and take safety and health very seriously (adapting to our dog’s injured knee). A big bonus is Maria’s hilarious video voiceovers of Millie and Nikko’s silliness together :) They are the best!!!”

“Jennifer is AMAZING! Very easy to work with, communicates well, and is flexible. She took Lola Rae on two walks a day and sent updates with pictures.”

“My pup had a great time staying with Lorrie and Andrew. Highly recommend, and I will book again. Lorrie and Andrew are easy to work with, had great communication, and sent me lots of pictures of my pup playing and enjoying his stay.”

“My dog came home tuckered out and completely happy. Her home and yard are set up for dogs and it is clear that she lets them cuddle at will. I appreciated all of Kimiko's updates. It is clear how much she likes caring for critters. HIGHLY recommend.”

About: From energetic puppies requiring constant supervision and socialization to senior dogs needing gentle, specialized care, I have successfully owned and cared for dogs at every stage of life. My comprehensive approach includes maintaining feeding schedules, administering medications as needed and providing appropriate exercise based on age and ability. Of course companionship and attention that keeps dogs happy and stress-free is the main goal. Whether your furry friend is a playful young pup who needs active engagement and training reinforcement, an adult dog requiring reliable routine maintenance, or an elderly companion needing extra patience and comfort, I adapt my care style to meet their specific needs. I'm a stay-at-home dad, available throughout the day to give your furry friend(s) attention & routine walks to provide the personalized attention they need to feel happy and comfortable. Our home features a fully fenced yard, and we can easily adapt our living space to suit your dog's specific needs. Senior dogs who struggle with stairs can enjoy our spacious main floor area, with direct outdoor access via just a few easy steps. Puppies still working on house training can stay in our dedicated tiled room, which can be safely sectioned off, while nervous or skittish dogs can have their own quiet, comfortable space to feel secure.
“5/5 stars! We’ve only trusted our pup with Jessica and family since finding her. The entire family takes wonderful care of our dog and will absolutely book again!!”
“Mimi is incredible! I was very pressed for time and anxious about finding a stranger to watch my dog after my original plans fell through for a trip. She was very responsive and a great communicator, set up a meet n greet the day I messaged her, and asked lots of great questions and I was very comfortable knowing what the plan was and that I'd be leaving my dog in good hands! She took such good care of my dog, and sent me lots of photos and updates! She was very caring as my dog was a bit unsure the first few days, and got her comfortable so quickly. She was incredibly attentive and responsive. I'd recommend Mimi to anyone!”

“Colleen and her husband were perfect. It’s clear they understand dogs and know how to make them feel comfortable. Odin enjoyed our initial visit, and when we came back two months later for the drop off it was clear he was excited and happy to be there. We will absolutely ask them to watch Odin again.”


“Kirsten and her family are wonderful furbaby sitters. Bodhi always has a great time while he’s there and comes home exhausted! We enjoy the pictures she sends and know that he’s having fun, while we are too!”

“Erin and Kevin are wonderful. Very organized and detailed oriented. We got great pics each day, and felt confident our dog was in excellent hands. Highly recommend.”

“Wow! My dog Issa’s stay with Richard was the best I could have hoped for. Our first meeting was a relaxed and helpful meet and greet before our trip to make sure Issa would get along with Richard’s dogs (who are super cute by the way). During the stay Richard sent me very frequent updates, pictures, videos. It was obvious Issa warmed up to her new temporary home quickly and got LOTS of love from Richard and his partner. The whole experience exceeded my expectations and I look forward to booking with Richard again.”

“Unfortunately Whitley got confused with the time that I had scheduled, and I had to contact Rover support to get a hold of her and she arrived three hours late.. aside from that she did everything I asked.”


“Melissa is a wonderful cat sitter! She communicated with me while I was on vacation and was flexible when my plans changed and I came home early. I would definitely recommend hiring her to take care of your fur babies!”


“I recently hired Lucas to take care of my cats, Daisy and Frank, for four days while I was away, and I couldn't be happier with his services. From the very beginning, when I first reached out to him, Lucas was extremely communicative and friendly. He came over to get an overview of Daisy and Frank's care instructions and to meet them, which I really appreciated. During my time away, Lucas followed my care instructions to the letter, visiting in the morning and afternoon. He sent detailed visit reports along with pictures of the kitties, which gave me great peace of mind. It's clear that he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. I highly recommend Lucas to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter. He did an excellent job, and I'll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future.”

“Salena has been great, and I look forward to may repeat bookings! She was very calm and patient during the initial meet and greet - especially with my younger one who was a bit skittish and unsure. She went above and beyond in caring for my 2 kitties, giving meds, cleaning and refilling the auto litter and auto wet food feeder and more! Very easy to communicate with and conscientious all around. Would highly recommend her.”


“Zenia was wonderful! She came by four days in a row while I was out of town, including over the Thanksgiving holiday, and took such great care of my kitties. She followed all of my directions perfectly, was patient and gentle with my nervous kitty, and made sure both cats were fed, happy, and comfortable every day. She also handled the Litter Robot for me, which made my trip so much easier and stress-free. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend Zenia!”


“Gillian was wonderful! It was her first time watching Niko and I won’t hesitate booking her again. Not only was Gillian responsive, attentive, and flexible, she is amazing at what she does and clearly has a passion for caring for animals. I knew Niko was in great hands the entire time I was away!”
“Morgan was so wonderful! Communication was on pointe, and she was so excited to meet my kitties and give them love! I appreciated the updates and Rover report cards that she sent; I knew the cats were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Matt is great! We appreciate his patience and calm demeanor. Our dogs really like him and we trust that he treats them the same way we do! We will continue to book with Matt.”

“Nancy is terrific. She is wonderful with our dogs (they love her). She is reliable and provides us with peace of mind knowing our pups are on good hands.”

“Allie did a great job visiting our three cats for four days. Food, litter, and meds, and attention were all handled correctly and professionally. She spent time with the cats and took great pictures of the cats and their care. She also watched for a package delivery and brought it in when it arrived. Thanks Allie!”

“DaAnna was great with my 2 cats! She was super flexible and responsive with a last minute booking request, and took excellent care of my girls. Great photos and updates as well. Highly recommend.”

“Katie is amazing! She is so attentive and caring for our cat which makes it so comforting to travel knowing she is in great hands. Katie’s communication is superb and gives us peace of mind when we are gone.”


“Nicole was great with my cats, even my shy one! She was prompt and reliable every day, and watered my plants as requested. My kitties received lots of attention while I was away.”


“Kevin is wonderful! He recently cared for our cats over a longer stay, and we appreciated his consistency and helpfulness while we were gone! Even our more skittish cat came out to play and hang out with him. Thanks so much!”


“Christina was amazing! She took care of my energetic kitten while I was away and gave me so much peace of mind. I was so worried because he's very social, but she took such great care of him. Even helped to take care of my place while I was out if she noticed something wasn't right! Would absolutely rebook :)”


“Alexa did a fantastic job looking after our five kitties. She was very flexible, and adapted to changing needs on the fly. Would 100% trust her with our babies again.”
“Yeji is now at the top of our short list of sitters. She took meticulous care notes, and followed all instructions perfectly. Would definitely re-hire. Thanks for everything, Yeji! Happy Holidays!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - West Seattle
“Thank you so much Rachel! She was so attentive, flexible, and understanding of my dog. I felt like he was in good hands all day and I would happily book with her again whenever I need to.”

“Beau is kind, flexible and professional. Both my senior dog and my 7 month old pup went directly to him-exhibiting no separation anxiety at all. He took very good care of both dogs and worked-happily-around my complicated schedule. It was reassuring to trust that my dogs were getting top notch care!”


“Clarissa and Yasiel took great care of Pickles! He's had some separation anxiety lately but he settled in just fine. They kept me updated throughout the day and sent cute photos. We will rebook!”

“Matt took excellent care of our dog. He has great calming energy and Hondo was very happy there. I drove from Snoqualmie Pass to drop him off there and it was a great experience. Thanks Matt”

“Widget had a GREAT time at Ro's house, hanging out with her and her dogs! He came home tired and happy. Ro was right on time, solid communication, flexible and responsive - we will be back!”

“Rachel is kind, patient, and flexible. Evie has had such a wonderful time playing at her house with Jane. She came home tired and happy and I was so happy to have some pet help for a couple of weeks. Thank you, Rachel and Jane!”

“Eileen is a wonderful person and puppy sitter! Pickles looks forward to seeing her every time. She is an excellent communicator and so flexible. We will be back!”

“Kim was absolutely wonderful! Pickles immediately wagged his tail when he saw her for the first time and did not hesitate to go inside for his first day. Pickles has an insane amount of puppy energy, and Kim was incredibly patient with him. He looked so happy at pickup. Kim sent me pictures of Pickles and his new friends. Looks like he had a blast with the other pups. We will be back! We have already rebooked :)”

“Auntie Maria is the best! She has been instrumental in Pickles' growth since he was a small puppy. She takes such good care of him, from pushes in a stroller to introductory walks with neighbors, I always know he's having a good day while I'm at work. She checks in regularly, and even followed up between visits to make sure he was doing well. Thank you again, Maria!”

“Niko loves going here and they take such good care of him! He pulls to the door in excitement and that’s the best sign that there can be to show how good they are to him ! They send me his pictures and keep me updated on what he’s doing throughout the day. Pick up and drop off has been extremely smooth- even at times that I need to drop him off extremely early. Both Lorrie and Andrew were extremely accommodating!”

About: Dedicated dog lover - whether your furry companion is a playful youngster or a distinguished senior, they'll receive my full care and attention during their stay. Currently, we have no dogs, so your pup will receive plenty of one-on-one time. Our home provides a warm, comfortable environment where your dog can relax and feel safe while you're away. All guests must be potty trained. I look forward to meeting your canine companion and making their stay a tail-wagging experience they'll love! I work part-time from home, and will be available for dog walks, belly rubs and backyard excursions throughout the day. My flexible schedule ensures your pup will get plenty of exercise, affection, and outdoor time while in my care. I have a fenced yard, love taking walks with dogs - whether that's one longer walk or multiple shorter walks, whatever it is they need.
“Teddi had a wonderful half-day spent at Mimi’s! She can be pretty skittish with new people, but when I picked her up, she was jumping back to Mimi for more hugs and pets!! Mimi is very communicative, warm, welcoming and eased my worries. Teddi can’t wait to come back and hang! 🩷”

About: We have experience with dogs of various sizes, personalities, and breeds. We own dogs and also care for other people’s dogs.

“Morgan was such a lifesaver and gave our doggie excellent care and attention! We are so grateful she worked with us on his individual needs. He really enjoyed going to her house to visit and take walks!”

About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, including raising three of my own from puppyhood. I'm comfortable with training needs, exercising pets, administering medication, and the special needs of puppies and seniors. I have extremely high standards for the people I choose to care for my pets, and I hold myself to those standards when caring for others. Leaving your pets doesn't have to be worrisome or stressful when you know they are receiving quality care under a watchful eye. I provide safety and affection for all animals and would be honored to help care for your pets when you have to be away. I am currently going back to school as an online student and have an extremely flexible schedule. I'm available for drop ins, walks, and boarding in my home seven days a week. Drop ins and walks can occur between 6AM- 8PM. When I do drops in and walks at your home, your pet is with me and under my watch the entire time. I am happy to follow any rules you provide. For boarding in my home, I have a fully fenced back yard with a designated dog potty area. Even though the yard is fenced, I supervise all outside breaks to ensure your pet's safety and security. I do have two dogs of my own, both females, and currently only board female dogs. One of my dogs is a 15lb rat terrier mix, and the other is a 70lb lab mix. Both are well socialized with animals and people, and are accustomed to other dogs being in our home. I constantly monitor dog energy levels and body language to ensure breaks are taken when needed and that your pets don't experience overstimulation.
About: Hi, I'm Thuy ("Twee" or Nikki). Former social worker and teacher, now a stay at home mom working part time on my art program for neurodiverse children. Animals are my other love! I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child, but more so recently after leaving my career. As a stay at home mom, I have the extra time and attention to care for your pet. And I will love them as they are a part of my family! Since we don't have pets, Rover has been the next best thing to happen for us. I am at home full time 7 days a week. If I'm not doing home duties, I am spending time with my kids outside. I have two boys ages 5 and 7 who I homeschool. They are sweet boys and love animals as well. We'd love to have a companion to join us on our walks and small adventures (if that's their thing). Otherwise, staying in is so nice too - we love doing art, making food, and having company at our cozy home ❤️ We have AC for the hot summers for added comfort. I have most experience with small and medium dogs that require gentle care, administering medication, and providing care for their special needs. I am at home full time 7 days a week. My husband is a small business owner/chiropractor with very flexible schedule so if I need to run errands, he takes over. Someone is always home so your pet will never feel alone. Providing safety is essential in building trust and a good relationship. Providing the environment for rest and play is secondary but equally as important. I strive to make every pet comfortable in our home, respect boundaries, and cater to their specific needs.
About: I have had pets my entire life and truly love them. Dogs absolutely love me and I feel the same towards them. I love Cats because they have their own special language, even though I am new to this professionally I will take care of your pet as if they were my own. I am retired and home all day to take care of them. You can trust your pet in my care. I am retired and home every day, to take care of your pets needs. Lots of love and attention here. You can trust me. ! I have a Fenced Yard , and an older pug a poo who is very friendly and loves all cats and dogs..very easy going! Thank you for putting your trust in me.
About: Going to give them all the love and care ❤️ like I do for my own pup, I have a frenchie as well who gets along with other dogs so there is a play buddy. Can handle 2 dogs,and they are welcome to be couch potatoes with my dog.😊 Due to us staying in an apartment I cannot accept big dogs at the moment. In my daily routine as a Rover sitter with a hybrid work schedule, I prioritize the well-being of the pets under my care at all times. Mornings typically involve feeding, walks, and playtime to ensure the pets start their day on a positive note. During my hybrid work hours, I make arrangements to guarantee the pets' needs are met, whether it's through midday check-ins, the presence of a trusted individual, or independence if they're comfortable being alone. Post work, I dedicate quality time for additional walks, feeding, and companionship. On days when I work from home, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my work schedule, providing them the attention they deserve throughout the day. Weekends are dedicated to extended and leisurely activities with the pets, ensuring they receive ample love and care. I am committed to maintaining a flexible schedule, accommodating last-minute bookings, and addressing any specific requirements or considerations for the well-being of the pets in my care. I live in an apartment so it's very safe. The area we live in is also extremely safe and makes for very pleasant walks. 😊 I have left our dog in daycares before only for him to come back with one problem or the other, so I understand the concern pet parents can have. I will love your pup as my own.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - West Seattle
“Matt is a dog whisperer! He did a fantastic job walking our 75-pound pit mix, Rosie, for an hour each morning for 8 days. He was very punctual, great at dealing with Rosie’s habit of scrounging for food and her dog reactivity. He also took the sweetest photos for Rosie’s walk report cards. We will absolutely book Matt again!!”

“Lucas went above and beyond and took great care of my pups and he gave my chickens some loving too, which I didn't even ask for. Great pictures from their walk. 10/10 would book Lucas again!”

“I just loved meeting Morgan when she came for meet and greet with my two puppies. She had a great attitude, the dogs immediately gravitated to her, and I could tell they would have loving and safe care. Everything went well on their walkabout, and I look forward to booking her again. Morgan, you’re awesome!”


“Kristin is fantastic! She’s communicative and attentive. She balanced giving our dog exercise with getting him settled down before she left him and we came home to a very happy pup! Thank you, Kristin!”

“I am new Rover user and Katie has been a godsend. She house sat/watched my pup when I was in Hawaii for a bit and did a great job. She's very good at providing details about the day and sending pictures of Biscotti. She also helped me out last minute when I ran up to Bellingham to see a friend. She rules. You should book her.”

“Jessica took great care of Bailey! He had a fun walk in the snow. She was kind enough to clean him off after being him back inside. Would love to book with her again in the future!”
About: All my life my family has had dogs, and taking care of them has brought me such joy. I love being able to take walks and play outside with a canine companion. I’m very familiar with taking care of both the large dogs I grew up with and the smaller dogs I’ve previously taken care of. I’m home for the summer from college and planing to take care of pets while I’m back. My schedule is incredibly open while I’m in Seattle. I’m available to take walks or yard play time with your dog as needed and am able to stay with your pets through the night or drop by depending on schedules and needs. I can provide both company or playtime inside and exercise outside. Whatever the dog needs whether it's to be able to go in and out from the yard freely or walks I can be there to provide.
“We recently started working with Gillian for weekly walks for our senior pup, and are so happy that we connected with them! Our experience so far has been wonderful. Gillian is thoughtful, responsive, and given their experience as a vet tech we are confident in their ability to take care when spending time with our dog, who is arthritic and has some medical issues. Gillian communicates well, and when we come home after work our dog is chipper and relaxed and we know he had a good day.”

“Alexa is great! She takes our dog Hazel (who can be real stubborn about walking haha) on great hour long walks, and sends adorable photos of her along the way. She’s super responsive and flexible which we always really appreciate as well!”


“I had a walker for over two years. He recently decided to step away from Rover. Reagan (my fur baby of 15 yrs) and I were devastated. We needed a new sitter. Based on reviews, we chose Billy. What a heaven sent! He did such an amazing job of taking care of Reagan that our quest for a new sitter is now over. Billy is our guy. He’s booked for my next two trips and counting. I highly recommend him!”

“Anastasiya was great with Nacho during a last minute switch to my schedule! She was flexible and came at the time asked for. Really appreciate her taking out my little guy for a walk. Will be using her next time!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, and quail. I have a multitude of experience taking care of large/extra log dogs, pitties, frenchies, and senior dogs. Monday through Friday, I’m available after 3:00 pm, for drop ins and walks. I’ve available 7 days a week for boarding or in-house sitting. Please contact me for more information. The situation really depends on the pet. I usually leave the dogs loose in the house, unless the owner prefers that the dog be crated, I think the dog would get injured, etc. Currently, I am pet free. I can explain more about that when we meet.
“Nina was great with my sweet lady while I was on vacation. She did a great job meeting all of my expectations for my senior pooch. I returned to a happy smiley face and wagging backside. I'd definitely rebook. Highly recommend!”

“Melanie is our dog, Rowdy’s FAVORITE!!! And I’m not even kidding. He forgets all about us when she strolls up! And she sends us the cutest pics of their adventures! I kinda want to keep her a secret ... but that would be bad ... right?? We love her!!!”

About: Hi! I’ve been walking dogs for over 10 years just for fun, and now I’m offering my services. I’m reliable, friendly, and know all the best parks and walks in the West Seattle area. Your pup will be safe, happy, and well-exercised! I will also have more days available in February, since I’ll be going remote so stay tuned! In the meantime I do have evening check ins available through it the week just send me a message asking my availability :) To ensure your dog receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they need, let’s structure their daily routine with me :) during each visit we can have a nice walk that serve as both physical exercise and mental stimulation, helping to keep your dog happy and healthy. In addition to walks, I set aside time to relax outdoors together, especially when the weather is nice. Whether it’s lounging in the sunshine, playing in the yard, or just sitting on the porch, these calm moments help me bond and allow your dog to enjoy fresh air and natural surroundings. Caring for pets—whether in my own home or a client’s—is all about creating a safe, loving, and consistent environment. My approach varies slightly depending on the service, but my commitment to the pets’ well-being stays the same. In My Home: When pets stay with me, I treat them like part of the family. I maintain their usual feeding schedules, offer plenty of playtime, and provide a cozy, clean space for them to relax. Daily walks, outdoor time, and lots of affection are always part of the routine. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level, and I’m always happy to send updates and photos to the pet parents. In Clients’ Homes: When caring for pets in your own environment, I make sure to follow all instructions closely—from feeding and medication to preferred walk routes and routines. I aim to keep everything as familiar as possible to reduce stress and keep pets feeling secure. I also take time to tidy up after each visit, give them affection and interaction, and provide updates so clients know their pets are in good hands. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I focus on building trust with each pet, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for.
About: I have cared for several cats and dogs from kittens and puppies to seniors. I attended obedience training years ago with our dog and learned many skills. I am retired and have a lot of time to devote towards your pets, be it on walks, potty breaks or playing with toys in the house. I really enjoy dogs & cats as they are great company. Our 2 cats are indoor only and get plenty of attention through play daily. Play is an important part in owning a pet as is attention. Our pets are part of our family. I will make sure to secure your home and keep your pets safe.

“Jana and her family have been an absolute gift. Summer is a very reserved, apprehensive little dog who has never stayed in someone else's home before, so I was understandably nervous. From the moment we met, Jana and her family were patient, gentle, and took the time to earn Summer's trust rather than expecting it. They cared for her as if she were their own, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was safe, comfortable, and in such a calm, loving home while our house was filled with the chaos of repairs, packing, and moving. Summer came home happy and relaxed, and I've already booked Jana again for several more stays. I couldn't recommend her more highly.”


“Gregg is so kind and awesome with doggos! He was great with Leo, giving him lots of walks and time playing with the ball. Gregg shared regular updates and it was clear Leo was in a safe, fun place. Thank you!!”

“This is the longest my pup has stayed with Matt and I was afraid she wasnt going to want to come back home from how much fun she had. You wont regret using Matt as your dog boarder”

“Maria, Kalyan, and Nikko do it again! We are so so lucky to have found this little family who welcomes Millie into their home and treats her like one of their own. We left her with them for two weeks over the holidays and they showered her with love, treats, attention, walks, and even gifts. It’s really hard to imagine better sitters! They are super communicative and take safety and health very seriously (adapting to our dog’s injured knee). A big bonus is Maria’s hilarious video voiceovers of Millie and Nikko’s silliness together :) They are the best!!!”

“My pup had a great time staying with Lorrie and Andrew. Highly recommend, and I will book again. Lorrie and Andrew are easy to work with, had great communication, and sent me lots of pictures of my pup playing and enjoying his stay.”

About: From energetic puppies requiring constant supervision and socialization to senior dogs needing gentle, specialized care, I have successfully owned and cared for dogs at every stage of life. My comprehensive approach includes maintaining feeding schedules, administering medications as needed and providing appropriate exercise based on age and ability. Of course companionship and attention that keeps dogs happy and stress-free is the main goal. Whether your furry friend is a playful young pup who needs active engagement and training reinforcement, an adult dog requiring reliable routine maintenance, or an elderly companion needing extra patience and comfort, I adapt my care style to meet their specific needs. I'm a stay-at-home dad, available throughout the day to give your furry friend(s) attention & routine walks to provide the personalized attention they need to feel happy and comfortable. Our home features a fully fenced yard, and we can easily adapt our living space to suit your dog's specific needs. Senior dogs who struggle with stairs can enjoy our spacious main floor area, with direct outdoor access via just a few easy steps. Puppies still working on house training can stay in our dedicated tiled room, which can be safely sectioned off, while nervous or skittish dogs can have their own quiet, comfortable space to feel secure.

“Kirsten and her family are wonderful furbaby sitters. Bodhi always has a great time while he’s there and comes home exhausted! We enjoy the pictures she sends and know that he’s having fun, while we are too!”

“Erin and Kevin are wonderful. Very organized and detailed oriented. We got great pics each day, and felt confident our dog was in excellent hands. Highly recommend.”

“Patty was incredible! She’s everything you’d want in a sitter - kind, calm energy, active, and attentive. We got frequent updates from her, and she took the time to really get to know my dog. Plus, her large grassy yard is awesome and she’ll leave the door open when it’s nice out. I felt at ease the whole time my pup was with Patty and would certainly recommend her to others!”

“Our pup is the most anxious girl and hates not being home. Jennie was so patient with her, kind, welcoming. She provided plenty of updates and our pup was so happy in her care. We are deeply appreciative and would rebook with Jennie without hesitation. You can’t find better care for your pup.”

“Yalined welcomed my dog Hank into their home, and he had a very nice stay. He was relaxed when I picked him up and I would use Yalined again when I go on a trip.”

“Micaela agreed to watch Birdie and Violet, our two small chihuahua/terrier mix pups, for the weekend. We did a meet and greet first which was lovely and helped ensure Birdie and Violet were a good temperament and match before doing overnight boarding. Micaela is a skilled, considerate and thorough caretaker. She ensured our pups got great care and it is clear she spent time reading our Rover profile and care details (which are admittedly rather lengthy 😂). I’m glad our detailed descriptions for the dogs’ care is helpful and am so glad Micaela is such an attentive and kind sitter. She provided great updates along with photos from her time with the girls. She was even able to get our rather shy one-year-old Chihuahua to warm up to her within just a day, which is no small feat!! The pups came back from their stay very happy and with a good review! I’m so glad we met Micaela and we will absolutely look forward to working with her again in the future. Thank you, Micaela!”

“Jeremy was incredible with our two babies. He went above and beyond to make sure they felt welcomed, loved and comfortable while we were out of town. He took them for fun daily adventures, and when we returned they almost didn’t want to leave with us. It was clear they had the best time! 1000% recommend; and will definitely be using again! Thanks Jeremy!”
“Nancy is the best! Trot gets excited when we tell him he's going to visit his friend Nancy, and he always comes home happy. Nancy is great about communicating and sending great pictures!”

“Sandie was a great sitter for my dog. She has am awesome backyard and is very thoughtful about how to make sure dogs are comfortable and secure. Highly recommend!”

“Blue had a fabulous time with Kim & Jonathan. I was so happy she was able to stay with other dogs and play while we are ere out of town. Kim kept us well updated and pays close attention to the dogs and their needs. Their home is clean, spacious and well set up for dogs with gates sectioning places off and plenty of room to play outside.”


“Ponyo and her family took great care of our sensitive pup! She was very attentive and sent lots of helpful updates. We are very grateful! We highly recommend Ponyo!”

“Pamela was an amazing sitter and I will not only use her again, but I highly recommend her. She was very responsive, kept me updated on my dog, sent pictures, asked about how to best care for my dog, etc. Her place was dog friendly/safe. She took my dog on walks, played with him, gave him treats, took him to the dog park, etc. I felt very good about leaving my dog with Pamela - I knew he was in good/safe hands. She gets all the stars! Thanks again, Pamela!”
