“Sadie had a wonderful weekend away with Ali and family - she came home a tired, waggy pup. We got a lot of pics and videos of her playing with Pepe during her stay. By all accounts a great weekend!”
“Sunny had the best time with Tenzin and his family. We got so many updates and it looks like he went on lots of walks and got lots of walks. Would highly recommend!”
“My dog had the time of his life! I know my dog hopes we go on more vacations so he can spend time at Charmaine's. I had total peace of mind knowing my dog was with such a lovely family. We loved that Charmaine sends us daily photos, and that my dog could be around humans + dogs all day, even at night (and not in a crate). Charmaine and family took such great care of my dog, thank you!”
“We are repeat customers. I’ve started referring to them as his Rover grandparents to Ollie. When he arrived he happily trotted in. The love and care they show to the dogs in their care is obvious to anyone who brings their dog there. A+++++++”
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Our dog was so well cared for, and it truly felt like a home away from home. We loved receiving daily photo updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!”
“Good stay for our girl! Colleen was great at sending feedback on our pups activities and well-being with frequent texts and photos. We felt secure in knowing she was safe and happy. 🙂”
“Nathan was great with communication before and during our boarding. Our dog loved his place and we will probably use him again for the future. Also, our dog needs medication and he gave it to her with no issues.”
“Thank you so much for everything!!! Caitie is the best!! We can finally be happy with a sitter like her, I can tell my dog Stella was perfectly taken care of, like a one of her own, and when we pick her up she was so happy and clean. 💞💞 see you next time!!”
“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.”
“Great place for your pet. Good communication and daily reports with pics. Very attentive making sure usual routines are followed. Lovely person and home. A+”
“Kathryn and Mark took such great care of Rhubarb! I got so many pictures throughout her stay of rhubarb on walks, playing in the backyard, and cuddling. I would definitely recommend Kathryn and Mark and would board Rhubarb with them again in the future!”
“Craig and his wife were amazing hosts. I’m sure my pup loved spending time with Guinness and the family. Craig was really responsive and kept us informed everyday of my pup’s acitivity.”
“Here’s a polished version of your review: Dror and Moran took amazing care of Frida for two weeks while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, they were incredibly proactive and suggested a meet-and-greet before Frida’s stay. That thoughtful gesture immediately put me at ease and gave me confidence that she would be in great hands. Frida is a senior pug with special needs, and they took every detail of my care instructions seriously. I was genuinely touched to see that they had already made adaptations around their home before she arrived to ensure she would be safe, comfortable, and well cared for. The entire family welcomed Frida with so much love and attention. Their regular updates showed just how happy and relaxed she was, and it was clear she was being treated like part of the family. Seeing her so content while I was away gave me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Dror and Moran to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy pet sitters. They are a wonderful family who genuinely cared about Frida, and I will absolutely be using their services again in the future.”
“Mason was so great to work with. He was accommodating and professional and has a great place for boarding, including a fully fenced grassy yard. He has experience training dogs and seems to enjoy having dogs around and spends time with them. My mopey sleepy English bulldog found his puppy energy again while staying with Mason and his lovely dog Apollo. Highly recommend.”
“These two are all about dogs and it shows! They also took a lot of great pictures and gave us daily updates on our dog's 12 day stay which was very much appreciated.”
“It was our first time using rover and Sarah was great with our dog Kora. We got to meet up beforehand for introductions and compatibility. We also got photo updates throughout her stay. Sarah was easy to communicate with and we definite recommend her!”
“Hong & Yuchen were really friendly and attentive. They give daily updates on Pixel. Pixel looks really happy and calm during the 3 weeks we board him. We really recommend Hong & Yuchen for your boarding needs!”

“Merddyn came over to meet and she was very nice and took notes. She spent time getting to know my cat and was easy to connect with. I would use her again, my kitty is a little on the shy side at first so it was nice to see her interact with her before i left. Will use her again.”
“Zoe was awesome with my cats and took care of them very well. She was on time and followed the instructions. Her check in notes and prompt communication helped me feel relieved when I was away for a week. I highly recommend Zoe. She is punctual and diligent with her cat sitting service.”
“Juliette and our cat Bartleby got along right from the start. We were gone for an entire week, but our cat was doing just fine when we returned. If anything needed doing that we had forgotten to mention, Juliette would reach out for clarification which we really appreciated. We would definitely recommend Juliette for others needing a professional and communicative sitter.”
“My cats obviously loved Gargi! My semi-feral, shy Jasper hides from EVERYone, but not from Gargi! She may be the only other person who can pet him. It’s so important to have someone the cats like and trust. I hope Gargi will be available every time I travel.”
“Shelly was the perfect caregiver for my senior kitty. She’s punctual, communicative, and my girl loved her from the first encounter. I felt totally at ease knowing my girl was in trust-worthy hands while I was away. Thanks, Shelly, you’re the best!!”
“Kendra made me feel so relieved to leave my baby with her. She was thoughtful and gave me any necessary feedback. She also was so good with my kitty. He was happy and healthy when I got home. Kendra also used a lot of common sense about small things. I would recommend and use her again.”
“Sara is amazing with my "most evil of all evil kittens" queen of the house. I don't know how she does it, but the cat who hates everyone and everything has made friends with Sara and goes so far as to let Sara touch her. This means a lot. Sara is great to work with, trustworthy, and a genuinely nice person wherein you can tell that she enjoys the time she spends with your pets. Travelling for work is far less stressful knowing I can rely on her to drop in and check on the house and needs of the Queen. Highly recommend.”
“Deyaneira did a wonderful job with my cat. Very attentive and met my expectations. She took pictures of food in bowl, clean litter box , and played with her! I highly recommend her !!! and will use her when available.”
“Jeanne was absolutely wonderful with our cat. We are very worried cat parents and tend to have a long list of little things we care about, but Jeanne checked every single box and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was very communicative throughout the stay and sent lots of great photos and updates, which we really appreciated. One of our biggest concerns when we travel is whether our cat will get enough attention and playtime, but Jeanne went above and beyond. She spent a ton of time at our house playing with her, and even brought her own wand toy to keep her engaged and active. Jeanne was on time, took great care of our home, and left everything clean and tidy. She was also extra careful coming in and out of the house to make sure our cat wouldn't sneak outside. We also really appreciated that she brought in packages that arrived while we were away and rolled our trash bins back in from the curb without us even having to ask. We would happily book with Jeanne again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, communicative, and who genuinely loves spending time with cats.”
“It was the first time using Rover. Kiki was perfect and I was able to have a great trip knowing my girls were in good hands. I definitely will use Kiki again and Rover is amazing.”
“Abigail is the BEST! She took amazing care of my cat, Oliver, while I was away. Her loving attention and thoughtful care went above and beyond. I especially appreciated her detailed (and hilarious) updates as they gave me much needed peace of mind while I was gone. It means the world to know that Oliver is not only safe, but also loved and understood, especially since he’s such a shy boy. She was reliable, warm, and completely understanding of his needs. I’m so grateful to have found her, and I’ll definitely be rebooking with her for my next trip.”
About: My pets aren’t just animals, they’re my babies. I consider myself a pet parent rather than simply a pet owner, and that’s exactly how I’ll care for yours. I know how hard it can be to trust someone with a member of your family, so I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved until you’re home again. Pet care is already a part of my everyday life. I care for my two dogs and cat daily, so adding your pet to my routine feels natural. I work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, companionship, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I know every pet is different, so I’ll follow your care instructions exactly to help maintain their routine and reduce stress. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. As a pet parent, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. I don’t consider my pets “just pets”—they’re my babies, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and respect. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Also, I want to keep this option available. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly. My dogs are friendly and well-socialized, and I always supervise introductions to make sure everyone is comfortable. If your pet needs their own space, I’m happy to separate pets or crate them if that’s part of their normal routine.
“Thank you so SO much for taking such good care of the kitties while I was away and for even taking time out of your own holiday weekend to check in on them!! We're so lucky to have your help🤗”
About: My name is Anna, I am currently working as an infant teacher at a daycare. Being able to look after and care for others is something I enjoy doing on a daily basis. I have pet-sat various times throughout the years and have always enjoyed spending time and caring for the animal(s). I am a happily married to my wife Cinthia and we are fur mama’s of 2 cats, Maple and Copito and 1 dog, Mowgli, we are obsessed with them. I love animals and look forward to connecting with you and your furry companion. I'm open to both dogs and cats alike. I assure you, I will not disappoint you or your pet. Talk soon! I am a stay at home mom who is currently looking for work so my schedule is pretty open for the most part. I need to remain available to drop off/pick up my son and wife at daycare and work. Outside of those times I am available to assist in caring for your pet(s). My goal is to provide your furry friend with good, safe, company while you are away from home. Treating your furry companion with respect and ensuring to build a trusting relationship between each pet I come into contact with.
About: I have been a pet owner all my life, from dogs and cats in the household, as well as farm animals all across the board. I currently have 3 kitties of my own, 9 months and 2 two year olds. They are my world! I have had previous disabled/ elderly cats with specific diet, and am confident in my ability to treat your pets as if they were my own. I have lots of flexibility as I am a substitute teacher and get to pick the days I work. This also allows me lots of weekend time! I currently have three cats of my own, 2 two year olds, and a 9 month old. I do not currently let them outside but they have lots of room to play, with interactive toys, supervised catio time, and the occasional catnip session
“We 100% recommend Theresa. She is punctual, reliable, and wonderful with our dogs. They adore her and are always excited for their visit. Definitely will book again! Thank you ☺️”

“Winnie is the most accommodating, doting, flexible, and overall wonderful dogsitter! She's attentive to my dog's needs, as my dog is very energetic! She is really good about following the routine that my dog is accustomed to and send lots of pictures throughout the day. Safe to say, my dog had a fantastic day with Winnie and I will most definitely book with her again!”
“Super grateful Gargi was able to watch my pup last minute when I went into work this week. I appreciate all the updates in realtime she provided as well. Gargi’s dog, June, and mine became instant pals! By the end of the day I can tell she had fun playing and got some exercise in. Thank you Gargi and June!”
“Theresa is absolutely amazing! My puppy gets so excited when she gets to visit and comes home happy and relaxed. She is reliable and so caring. 100% recommend - we look forward to our next visit :)”
About: I’ve lived with and cared for dogs of many breeds for over 10 years. I’ve raised my own dogs and helped care for rescues and friends’ pets. I understand dog behaviour, body language, and how to communicate with them. I’m calm, reliable, and genuinely care about animals. I work from home and am available throughout the day. I can take your dog for walks as needed and give them attention and care without long gaps. My schedule is consistent, so your dog won’t be left alone. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. My senior dog is calm and friendly with other dogs—she’s never had issues and can be good company. I always keep an eye on interactions and make sure the environment stays low-stress and safe.
“Caitie is awesome! She did a meet and greet with my corgi first (my corgi doesn’t always get along with all dogs). Our corgi got along very well with Caitie’s fur baby and we set up a daycare date. My pup thoroughly enjoyed the stay and came back home satisfied and sufficiently tired. Caitie also kept in touch the whole time so I felt super at ease.”
“Le is amazing! she was very responsive at all times, kept me posted about updates. Made me feel at ease when I was a little nervous about my dogs being too much too handle. She has the perfect set up at her home my pups are so loved! I'll definitely leave them with her again and again.”
About: Hi! I recently moved to Seattle from Vancouver, and I’m away from my own fur baby (a 7-year-old bichon who knows 30 different tricks). I’m a very attentive pet owner and frequently babysit my friends’ cats and dogs. I also love studying pet nutrition, and enjoy (allergies and preferences permitting) making yummy and healthy pet treats! Being in Seattle and away from all the animal friends in Vancouver, I understand the difficulties of making time for our pets, and I’d love to give back to the community by offloading your pet care when you’re stretched thin. My apartment is very animal friendly with lots of safe and fenced off outdoor areas, where I can provide dedicated attention and enrichment for your fur babies. I work remotely from home with lots of flexibility, so I have dedicated time and attention to take care of pets in my routine. I would be able to walk, play with, and attend to their potty needs throughout the entire day. I’m a very attentive pet sitter, and will communicate with you to make sure I’m meeting all your baby’s needs. My apartment is equipped with new pet amenities, notably a pet spa and safe, fenced off outdoor areas. I also live near 3 parks, and can easily drive to your home for any in-home pet care.
“Emily and Steven were amazing!! First time using this app and leaving my dog with strangers. My dog has severe separation anxiety and Emily and Steven were able to make her feel comfortable and calm. I received updates throughout the day for both stays and will be contacting them the next time we need care for our pup. Thank you!!”
About: Whether I’m babysitting, just going for a walk, or a play date, I’ll take care of your fur baby as if it was my own. I am the kind of person who sits on the floor with dogs I don’t even know just to get kisses. I also go to the off-leash park by myself just play with different races, sizes, etc and be more familiar with each. Who knew you couldn’t treat a chihuahua like a Great Dane? Or that greyhounds are quite lazy! I have the best vet in the area on speed dial but I’m also trained in dog cpr for minor scrapes or incidents. I don’t hesitate to act and like to solve problems myself instead of passing them on to you! That way you can come home to a happy pampered pooch! I absolute adore cats as well and I have 3 of my own. I can’t wait to meet and care for your 4-legged babies In the morning I pick up all the pups (for free!) then I bring them to daycare where we have a full day of fun making friends, playing, resting, etc until it’s time to drop the off with their mommies and daddies all over again Daycare and boarding have their own room with access to the yard and individual suites for pups that need breaks from the pack setting and mealtime
“Christine was great! Super kind and communicative. Her updates were super helpful and it seems like Bitty had a great time! I would feel very comfortable having Bitty visit again.”
About: Hi, I’m Ali! My family and I provide a calm, loving home where dogs become part of the family during their stay. I work remotely full-time, which means your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pup loves long walks and outdoor adventures or prefers lounging on the couch and soaking up affection, I tailor their stay to their individual needs and personality. I intentionally keep the number of dogs in my care low so that every guest receives personalized attention, a consistent routine, and a comfortable home environment. My goal is simple: I want your dog to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My experience caring for dogs spans a lifetime, including nearly 16 wonderful years with my soul dog, Rudy. Caring for him through every stage of life, including his senior years, gave me firsthand experience with aging dogs, medications, mobility challenges, and the extra patience and care some pets need. Because of that experience, I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and those with unique needs. What Your Dog Can Expect ✔ A safe, family-oriented home environment ✔ A sitter who works from home and is present throughout the day ✔ Personalized care with a limited number of dogs at one time ✔ Daily walks, playtime, enrichment, and companionship ✔ Experience with senior dogs and medication administration ✔ Frequent photo and video updates so you can relax while you’re away ✔ Flexible care tailored to your dog’s routine, energy level, and personality Our Home We live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with access to parks, walking trails, and plenty of opportunities for exercise and exploration. At home, dogs have comfortable spaces to relax, play, and feel at ease. Whether your dog is energetic and adventurous or prefers a slower pace, I’ll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they need to feel comfortable and cared for. A Good Fit I love building relationships with both dogs and their owners. Before every stay, I like to learn about your dog’s routine, personality, preferences, and any special needs so I can provide the best possible experience. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for as if they were one of my own. Meet Pepe! Our resident pup, Pepe, is a friendly and social Bichon Frisé who loves making new friends. He’s playful, gentle, and does a great job helping visiting dogs feel comfortable and welcome in our home. If your dog enjoys having a buddy around, Pepe is happy to show them the ropes (and the best spots for naps). Schedule / Routine: I work remotely full-time, so my flexible schedule allows me to have plenty of time to walk, care, and play with your dog. We have a grassy, flat front yard lined with trees with an anchored run for dogs to play and explore. We live close to several parks with great trails for walking. Whether your pup is high or low energy, I can accommodate any needs for exercise.
“Yuliia and her family were genuinely happy to be with our Cinnamon. They impressed us with their kindness, happy go lucky ways and sincere care for Cinnamon. I highly recommend this family not only for the aforementioned items but also because: + Their home is easy to get to. Parking is always available. + Inside, their home is very organized and clean. + The children and the adults made for happy play-mates with Cinnamon. + This family has an integrity beyond reproach. I could trust them with my human children if I had any. + They sincerely care for our canine kid. + Yuliia is very responsive and quick to reply. To close, I never worried about Cinnamon. There outdoor deck is sturdy, the green area outside is kept nicely and they are very good neighbors to all around them. Book this family to watch your four legged pals; you will have ZERO regrets. You will be super fortunate.”
“Sarah is really responsive and nice. My puppy had a great first day at her place and got along well with her dogs. I will definitely have her care for my puppy again. Thanks!”
About: I truly love animals and have over 7 years of experience caring for my own pets. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Friends often trust me to take care of their pets when they travel, including feeding, cleaning, and spending quality time with them. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always adjust my care to match. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding routines, litter/cleaning, and basic health monitoring. I’m very detail-oriented and will follow your instructions carefully to ensure your pet stays happy and healthy. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own. I’m currently a full-time student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. I will provide consistent attention, timely feeding, and regular check-ins. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I always keep pets in a secure and clean environment and closely follow the owner’s instructions. For dogs, I always use a leash during walks and stay attentive to surroundings. For cats, I make sure doors and windows are secure to prevent any accidents. I also pay attention to small changes in behavior or health and will keep you updated regularly with photos and messages.
“Our guy has a great time today! We were in town for a family event and needed to have him somewhere fun and safe while he couldn’t be with us. He was tuckered out at pickup. We’ll be back if needed!”

“Wenlin has been great with my dog, Bobby. She’s thoughtful, communicative, and clearly attentive to his needs, which I really appreciate. She’s also been very understanding of Bobby’s quirks—like his refusal to go 💩 off-leash. 😊 They’re building a great connection, and I’ll definitely be booking her for future walks!”
“Kendra followed the instructions that I gave her perfectly! I felt super comfortable leaving a key for her to walk my dog, she sent me photos after the walk while I was at work which was super comforting. She even put eye drops in her eye. I would 100% book her again.”
“Jenifer is spectacular. The first day we met her, every animal in my home instantly loved her. She’s super reliable, very communicative and loving to my dog. She’s been walking my dog off and on since she was a puppy for about a year now. Highly recommend her!”
“Greyson absolutely adores Finn. She treats him so well and they have a special bond. We have completely trust and confidence that he will have an amazing, enjoyable walk.”
About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking for 20 years! I have experience administering medication. I absolutely love dogs and would love to meet yours and give them love! I have plenty of time to take your dog on long walks and spend time playing with them! I have a lot of availability during the work day, especially after 1:30pm, though often available all day. My dog, Milo, has a yard to play in and typically gets two long walks a day and we are working on short runs (3 miles or less) together and this is how I will take care of your dog!
“Daniel was great with Benni (who can be shy with new people). She was happy and excited after her walk - thank you very much! We definitely look forward to more walks with Daniel!”
“Amanda has been great with our dog! She has been a strong communicator, responsive, and reliable which we so appreciate. We look forward to continuing to work with her!”
About: I grew up with a Samoyed, parakeets, and lovebirds. I've taken care of: - a Belgian Malinois puppy. - a Chihuahua/German Pincher mix. - my friend's cat for a 3 month long period. - (three times) a household consisting of an alpha female German shepherd puppy with leash induced aggression and two cats. - a guard dog rescue mutt I workout everyday so walks and runs are a given. I pay attention to details and am consistent. I WILL use the commands YOU use for your beloved pet(s). I'm a PhD student at UW but I work from home. So my schedule is super flexible. I wake up between 7-8am and go to bed around 11pm. I workout in the morning/afternoons usually but can shift things around as needed. I can fit into your pets schedule. I will follow all your rules. I will not leave your pets alone for extended periods of time. I'm unable to keep pets at my own place right now.

“Holly was wonderful to work with and took care of our pup Moira. Moira can be a bit tricky on walks and Holly handled it really well. Would certainly recommend and work with her again!”
About: I have a passion for any and all animals, with particular experience and expertise in dog care. I have walked and cared for a number of friend's and neighbor's dogs over the years, volunteered with newly rescued greyhounds at Greyhound Pets Inc, and worked professionally walking and playing with dogs at 3 different boarding and daycare centers. I also received a certificate in Applied Animal Behavior from the University of Washington in 2023. I am happy to walk your dog of any size, any breed, and any age, in any weather! I am currently in graduate school, pursuing a master's degree, while working one day a week, which leaves me with quite open availability Fridays through Tuesdays. Unfortunately I am unable to care for other's pets in my own home due to landlord restrictions, but I would be open to pet-sitting in your home to give your dog the most comfortable experience! The only constraint is that I have my own dog, a 10 lb chihuahua mix named Acorn, so I cannot leave her alone for extended periods of time while I'm away pet-sitting (she is friendly, but does communicate clear boundaries if large/rambunctious dogs try to crowd or squish her).
About: To my amazing clients and potential new clients! I can officially offer dog grooming as well! I earned my dog grooming certification from Masers Dog Grooming in Kenmore, Washington Graduated in April 2024 I am currently working on earning my dog training certification. I will keep you all posted on those details! Due to the new respiratory virus that’s effecting and affecting our loyal companions I will be limiting the amount of pups in my care and will be requesting current vaccination and current flea prevention prior to boarding. I apologize for the inconvenience. “Life is what happens when you’re making other plans!” - one of my favorite quotes! I am a dog lover and animal advocate. Dogs have always been a part of my life and I feel that each one has an amazing soul. I was a dogsitter, housesitter and substitute teacher before I had my daughter. I just need to make sure that any dog I dog sit is child friendly and will get along with my rescue. My previous rescue, “Shabah” passed away in 2016. Our new rescue, “Todd” has the same spirit of our previous old dog! I have a split level home (unfinished basement). Our home is a comfortable and cozy home that's dog and kid friendly. We have a large fenced in backyard. Our neighborhood is a dog friendly, kid friendly, cat friendly, chicken friendly neighborhood. All our neighbors are respectful of each other and watch out for each other. About this sitter: I’m a survivor of many things and 52 years young ( I stopped counting). I have an amazing, smart, funny and talented tween who consistently keeps me on my toes. I earned my BA in Photojournalism and Film from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University. I love to travel and before my kiddo was born, I had the opportunity to travel to many different countries. I’ve had the opportunity to attend school at the University of Wales and travel throughout GB, Spain, Ireland, Scotland, Oman and the UAE and taught briefly in Salalah, Oman. Dogs are honest, sincere and loving creatures with the right environment. I want to make sure that you know your dog will be safe and loved while staying with me and my family. Why I love dog sitting: I have loved dogs my entire life. I have always owned a dog. From our first family dog, “George” who used to pose for the camera every time I would take my camera out! He would literally pause and stay still for the camera! I’ve always had rescues and they have all been amazing mixed breed mutts! 🥰🐶 If anyone ever needed help with their dogs, whether it was dog sitting, dog walking or helping rescue a dog in need I was always there to help out. I just have a special place in my heart for dogs. Meet my pets I had a 16 year old border terrier mix, “Shabah.” She was wonderful with children and took care of her little 'sis' since the day I brought her home from the hospital. Shabah passed away in 2016 and we continue to miss her everyday. It wasn’t until Covid that I broke down and adopted another rescue, “Todd.” Todd has come a long way since the day I adopted him. He was rescued out of a home in Eastern, Washington. I have worked on training him but continue to work with him daily. I have looked into getting certified to become a dog trainer and use those skills with dog sitting. Our Home: My daughter, dog and I recently moved back to our old house in Shoreline. I am working on remodeling the inside of the house and working on the front and backyard. Since I am doing all of this on my own, it’s taken some time and a constant work in progress. Please excuse the mess during this “construction” time. Do not worry! There’s only weeds and brown grass and dirt for the dogs to play around in. The inside of our home have plenty of places for your dogs to sleep. The dogs will also let me know what other spots they like too! A couple dogs I watched recently loved snuggling up underneath our entertainment center area. I’ve since put a cozy bed in that spot for them! 💗 Our home is approximately 1800 square feet, we have an unfinished basement (I’m working on remodeling), a large kitchen, dining room,l nook, living room and t.v. room. We also have 3 small bedrooms and 1 1/2 bathrooms. The dogs are welcome anywhere they would like. I sanitize daily (dog and kid friendly sanitizers) and vacuum daily (as long as it doesn’t scare the dogs - otherwise it’s sweeping). It's important to me that my home remains a child friendly and dog friendly home. About my yard: I have a fenced in backyard. It's a durable backyard, meaning that it's o.k. that the grass gets torn up and if your dog is a digger. If you are someone who is trying to break the habit of your dog digging, just let me know. I can work on that while your dog is in my care. I will not leave the dogs unattended. With a fenced in backyard it’s easy to think they would be OK, my dog is a “Houdini,” so I make it a habit of never leaving any dogs unattended even with a fenced in backyard. My experience administering medication: Over the years I have administered shots and oral medication for my dogs and friends dogs and dogs I have dog sat for. I am available full time to dog sit and walk, your amazing pups! I do have a busy schedule with my kiddo and her after school activities. As long as you’re O.K. and the dogs are O.K. with car rides, we are all good! I won’t text and drive or take photos while driving! I have a fenced in backyard and brown grass (at the moment) for the dogs to play around in. It’s O.K. to mess up our yard since it’s a “work in progress” yard! I always monitor and supervise the dogs when they are playing in my front or backyard. My front yard is not fenced in yet, so the dogs would be on a leash at all times in the front yard. My schedule is quite chaotic and ever changing. Since I won’t leave the dogs unsupervised, they go with me. Each client I have had has been great with my busy schedule. I take the dogs with to drive my kiddo to school and take them with to pick her up. When she has after school activities - the dogs will come with me to drop her off and pick her up. I’ll take the pups on walks or small hikes or to a dog park with the owners permission. If the dogs are O.K. to be left alone for a short period of time - then I plan accordingly. I don’t like to leave dogs in kennels unless it’s absolutely necessary and becomes a safety issue. Otherwise, they are free to roam their new temporary environment. I can no longer house sit or dog sit in someone else’s home since I have a kiddo and my own rescue pup. In my home, I make sure the dogs are always safe and have a separate room for the dogs who are food aggressive during feeding time. If one dog plays too rough with the other dogs I will plan accordingly on which dogs are safest to play together. There have been times when I had to separate the play times between the dogs who played rough together, compared to the dogs who didn’t. It all worked out great. Dogs get to know each other’s play and personalities rather quickly . I make sure the dogs all have fresh water throughout the day. If it’s a dog that doesn’t monitor their own water intake, I will make sure to monitor the water intake in the evening. I need to sleep too and cannot be kept up throughout the night to let the dogs outside. I’ve had to do this for my own dog and he’s been fine. 😊🐾 Please Note - Due to the potentially fatal new respiratory virus that’s effecting and affecting our loyal companions I will need to request current vaccination records to be emailed and will have to postpone dog sitting and boarding until a vaccination is available to our loyal companions. I will reach out to Rover directly on how they will handle matters like these since this is something none of us could imagine would come up. Thank you and I appreciate you! Monday thru Friday the pups all come with to drop my kiddo off at school. After drop off I take the pups to a local park for a bit. Then back home to get my work done. The dogs all have free reign of the house. I can take them out in our backyard every couple of hours. At 2:30 on M/T/Th/F we head back out to pick my kiddo up from school. Then back home for more playtime. We have breakfast and dinner around 6 am and dinner between 4 and 5 pm - these times for breakfast and dinner are flexible. *please note* I request all dogs be treated with a flea and tick preventive prior to boarding, grooming. Our yard gets frequent visitors such as coyotes, rabbits and raccoons. All of these animals carry fleas. I treat my yard and home with Wondercide but cannot prevent fleas from getting on your dog(s). If your dogs are not on flea prevention - there are no guarantees. We will frequent dog parks and trails and fleas and ticks can live in these environments. I go by the “honor system” when people tell me their dogs are on flea prevention. One walk in the park in this area can cause and create an itchy dog. Please treat your dogs for fleas and ticks as a prevention. Thank you! This keeps my dog safe, my home safe and everyone else’s dogs safe. Please note that frontline and advantage Do Not work on the fleas in this area. The best treatment I found was Simparico Trio that kills the entire flea cycle! The flea prevention that works the best are prescriptions from a vet. Please make sure to get a flea and tick medication that kills the entire flea cycle! Some medications only kill the adults. I cannot begin to tell people how important this is. Fleas are super gross and wreck havoc on a home and animal. Thank you for keeping my home, my dog and especially your dog(s) safe! Thank you!

“Sadie had a wonderful weekend away with Ali and family - she came home a tired, waggy pup. We got a lot of pics and videos of her playing with Pepe during her stay. By all accounts a great weekend!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Our dog was so well cared for, and it truly felt like a home away from home. We loved receiving daily photo updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!”
“Nathan was great with communication before and during our boarding. Our dog loved his place and we will probably use him again for the future. Also, our dog needs medication and he gave it to her with no issues.”
“Thank you so much for everything!!! Caitie is the best!! We can finally be happy with a sitter like her, I can tell my dog Stella was perfectly taken care of, like a one of her own, and when we pick her up she was so happy and clean. 💞💞 see you next time!!”
“Kathryn and Mark took such great care of Rhubarb! I got so many pictures throughout her stay of rhubarb on walks, playing in the backyard, and cuddling. I would definitely recommend Kathryn and Mark and would board Rhubarb with them again in the future!”
“Craig and his wife were amazing hosts. I’m sure my pup loved spending time with Guinness and the family. Craig was really responsive and kept us informed everyday of my pup’s acitivity.”
“Mason was so great to work with. He was accommodating and professional and has a great place for boarding, including a fully fenced grassy yard. He has experience training dogs and seems to enjoy having dogs around and spends time with them. My mopey sleepy English bulldog found his puppy energy again while staying with Mason and his lovely dog Apollo. Highly recommend.”
“It was our first time using rover and Sarah was great with our dog Kora. We got to meet up beforehand for introductions and compatibility. We also got photo updates throughout her stay. Sarah was easy to communicate with and we definite recommend her!”
“Luisa was very communicative and flexible with drop off and pick up times! provided us with updates as well! Blaze seems like he got a lot of attention and was cared for!! would use her again! thanks!”
“Alex took great care of Gus and he returned from his stay happy and well cared for. Communication was easy and it was great knowing that Gus was with someone we trusted. Would definitely book again!”
“Jesci was amazing with my dog Banjo! She went above and beyond to reduce his anxiety levels and make him feel comfortable. Jesci sent daily updates, which were much appreciated! She displayed great knowledge of dogs and sensitivity to their individual needs. When I went to pick up Banjo, he looked better than when I dropped him off. I would definitely recommend Jesci for future bookings!”
“I loved knowing that I was dropping Buster off to Rose and Bodhi for a fun week of activity and adventure. Rose provided the perfect amount of updates to show me that Buster was being well taken care of. I like that she wasn't just dog sitting him at her home, but he got to meet other friends and go to the dog park. A vacation for everyone!”
“Lola loved her stay! Ina sent regular updates, which we loved. It was great knowing and seeing our pup was doing well and so happy. We'll absolutely be booking with Ina and crew in the future :)”
“Ai took care of our dog for 10 days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Our dog absolutely loved staying with her and her cats. Since he had never interacted with cats before, Ai introduced them gradually. She also has a separate space for the cats, which helped make the introductions safe and stress-free. She took our dog on regular walks, kept us updated with pictures, and was communicative and incredibly flexible the entire time. We always felt confident that he was in great hands. 10/10—highly recommend Ai to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
