Highly-rated overnight sitters - Venice
“This was our second time having Casie care for our pups. She remembered details from their first visit to keep them comfortable while in her care. She's a great communicator and, most importantly, our pups are excited to see her.”
“Peter took lots of pics and gave me lots of updates on how my dog was doing. It looks like she got lots of love and was happy in every pic. Plus he has super sweet dogs for your dog to play with. I would use Peter and his family as dog sitters again.”
“Matthew was amazing with my very nervous and anxious dog, Tucker. We did a test night before a longer trip, and while Tucker was hesitant and unsure at first (including some growling and barking), Matthew was incredibly patient and kind. He let Tucker set the pace, waited for him to feel comfortable, and never rushed the process. While we were away for over a week, Matthew regularly sent updates and photos, which was reassuring. It was wonderful to see Tucker gradually looking more relaxed, confident, and comfortable in his care. Seeing that progress made a huge difference for my peace of mind. I would absolutely love to board Tucker with Matthew again in the future and highly recommend him, especially for dogs who may need extra patience and understanding.”
“Flex has an amazing time visiting Trenton and Jordan! He comes back happy and tired from so much play time. He’s already looking forward to next time.”
“Tanya is wonderful! She cared for our puppy as if it were her own. Sent pictures of him playing with her dog and being pampered. She is fantastic and I would book with her again in a heartbeat!”
“Kristina took such good care of my baby! Arya stayed with her for two weeks and she was amazing! I am so happy to have found her. She is very flexible and has a great home and environment to board your baby! Highly recommend”
“My dog is still rather young, is pretty anxious in new settings and around new people, and takes a while to warm up. After meeting Lorelei I felt like she really understands dogs (even neurotic ones!) and I was confident that my baby would do just fine there for the weekend. And on top of it, she took the booking less than a week in advance as I scrambled to make arrangements I'd forgotten to make sooner! I would definitely bring my pup back to her in the future.”
“I am living for a few months near Poulsbo and needed to find a dog sitter in the area. I connected with Brianna and we visited briefly before my trip. I immediately felt comfortable with her. She took great care of Romeo, sent me photos and updates and was easy to communicate with. My dog is small and he got along with their much larger dog. I highly recommend Brianna as a caring dog sitter.”
“James is very easy to work with. He provided great care to my girl with frequent updates. There’s no better peace of mind than knowing your fur baby is in good hands while you’re away.”
“My dog Lucy had such a good time with Christina and her doggos. I loved all the updates and pictures, she was really being loved like she would’ve been with us. She was sent home with the cutest Easter picture. I would definitely bring Lucy back to her again. Thank you so much!”
“David and his family were so great taking care of Mr.Weenie! It was a huge sense of relief knowing he was in good hands during his stay. David sent updates with pictures and videos. Mr weenie was given a lot of love and attention along with baths and play time. I will definitely be using David again in the future!”
“Jennifer went above and beyond to ensure our families fur babies felt loved and comfortable! We received wonderful updates during their time with Jennifer that made my heart and mind feel at ease. I will use Jennifer for any future boarding needs!”
“Celia and her family took great care of our dog while we traveled out of the country. Our dog loved playing with the kids and being outdoors. She was treated lovingly by the family and we couldn’t ask for more than that. Celia was very flexible and accommodating as our flight was delayed. We are so grateful to have peace of mind while we were so far away. Thank you all so much!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who friends and family regularly trust to care for their pets while they travel. I have two friendly golden retrievers who truly love other dogs and are gentle, playful, and well-socialized. I’m experienced with a wide range of personalities—from high-energy pups who need lots of playtime to senior dogs who prefer a calm, cozy environment. I treat every dog as if they were my own, paying close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and individual quirks. Your dog will enjoy plenty of love, supervised play, and a safe, comfortable home where they’re never just “watched,” but genuinely cared for. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and a calm, structured environment. I’m available for both short-notice needs and bookings well in advance as you plan your travels. My goal is to be your go-to sitter whenever you need reliable, loving care. I have a large fully fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized golden retrievers who enjoy playing in the backyard by a game of chase and/or fetch. I closely monitor playtime and all interactions, follow each dog’s routine, and can crate, separate, or provide quiet space if needed in order to keep all dogs in my care stress/free, comfortable and happy. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities. This isn’t just a place where you drop your dog for the day or for a trip. It’s a calm, loving environment where dogs feel safe and loved while you’re away. I choose thoughtful exercise and enrichment to keep them happy and give them plenty of opportunities to burn energy and excitement.
“Corey is my go-to dogsitter every time I visit this area of Washington. She is the best dogsitter I’ve had in my past five years of using Rover. You can count on her for great care and excellent communication.”

“Lisa is a treasure!! She took wonderful care of our shy kitty for 2 weeks while we were traveling abroad. She kept in contact and gave great updates, and got our usually shy cat to come out and play. I'll absolutely re book with Lisa for future travels.”
“Hannah did a wonderful job taking care of our cat. She came every day and made sure of food/water refreshed and kept litter box clean. Our cat is very shy but warmed up to Hannah. We felt our cat was very safe and well cared for. Hannah sent details each day and pictures. We definitely will book her again on our upcoming trips.”
“Ryan is a reliable, good communicator and has a lovely calming presence around animals that was perfect for our shy kitties. She is a seasoned pet sitter in high demand, and we’re grateful she fit us into her busy schedule!”
“Micaela is an exceptional pet sitter and a true animal lover. She looks after our 2 cats, Timmy and Panda. She is reliable, sends great photos, and the cats love her visits. They are always calm, relaxed, and happy when we get home. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, and am currently a dog mom to my wonderful fur baby. Throughout the years I have been entrusted to go to peoples houses and care for their dogs, take care of dogs in my own home, and have even been entrusted to care for newborn puppies until they were old enough to go to their homes. I have a special place in my heart for dogs, and I absolutely love any opportunity to meet all kinds of new furry friends and personalities!
“So nice and responsive! She kindly offered many services that were beyond the scope of what we booked (we just needed someone to watch our cats but she asked about various house sitting tasks). Our cats seemed healthy and happy when we returned home which is all we wanted :). Would definitely book again!”
“I am new to Rover and needed a sitter in a very short period of time because of a death in the family…. and a funeral that I needed to attend to out of town. Chris answered my query in a very short period of time and we met the next day to go over what was needed while I was gone. He asked good questions about needs and wants and while I was gone gave me updates about their well being. He certainly understands our feline friends. Both my cats are seniors one has been quite ill, and Chris understood exactly what was needed. I do believe Chris is a cat whisperer. Both my cats took to him without a formal introduction and upon my return were quite content. I would recommend Chris to any person who needs a sitter and has cats,”
“Kalea was a great sitter for my cat while I was away! When my travel plans were pushed back, she was willing and available to come back for an extra day last minute.”
“Jennifer went above and beyond for our two cats while we were away on vacation for a week. Our flight home was delayed by 4 hours and she made sure they were taken care of. We arrived to a clean apartment and healthy kitties. We highly recommend Jennifer!”
“Jacob looked in on our young cat for 5 days the first time we left her alone. He is a natural with animals. Our experience was great! Cat did great with him and we would definely book Jacob in the future!”
About: Hello! I have grown up around animals my whole life, caring for a wide variety of fur babies; horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, even birds. I would love to help you enjoy your travels stress free while providing quality care for your pet(s). I have around 10 years of experience around dogs, and three years ago have become a cat owner. I have experience taking care of animals with difficult care schedules and behavioral conditions, as in the past I have volunteered at animal rescues. I provide a gentle approach around animal’s and aim to provide only the best care for your pet! I am a grad student with a flexible summer schedule, up until mid-August, as I will be moving for school. Until then, I am happy to help look after your pet. I am new to Rover but am a reliable caretaker for pets of friends and family. I follow care schedules very diligently to ensure your pet is healthy and happy while your away :)
About: While I’ve never owned a cat myself, I’ve cared for cats for neighbors and lived with a cat in college, where I helped with feeding, playtime, and general care. I know that cats all have different personalities and comfort levels, and I’m happy to give them attention when they want it or space when they need it.
“Sheelagh was amazing with my two cats! They loved playing with her. Even my shy cat warmed up to her instantly. She kept communication consistent so I felt in the loop while I was away.”
About: I have been a pet lover my whole 44 years. I have owned cats and dogs of many breeds, ranging from kitten care to senior pooches needing med regimens. Currently loving on a chinchilla at home, I am delighted to care for pets of all shapes and sizes. This is currently my only gig, so I have all the time to spend with your loved ones. Always happy to discuss complicated pet needs. Care in a client home is at each client’s discretion. You tell me what your love needs and I’ll get it done. You can trust me to communicate important issues and just take care of the small stuff.
About: I am a genuine happy pet loving guy. With at least ten years caring for my own pets (2 cats, 3 dogs). I have my own transportation and have been first aid certified so I know what to look for at the first signs of any trouble with pets. My days and weekends are perfect time for walking and caring for dogs and cat sitting. I work part time at night as a caregiver, but I can plan house sitting around my other work. I like pets and can’t wait to meet yours. I have a big home and am open to one or two animals a week, but no double booking and no outside cats. However, in a client’s home they set the rules and I respect their space.
“Elizabeth was absolutely great. We have a very shy cat and on day one she established a relationship with her and all was good. She sent us photos daily along with a brief message so we never worried about our cat at all. I highly recommend her for cats and/or dogs. She is wonderful to work with and great with our furry family members. She will alway be our first call when we need our pets taken care of.”
About: I have always LOVED animals. I grew up with two English bulldogs, and now have a rescue pup of my own (he is 2 now, and dog friendly!). I volunteer at Animal Friends Alliance, a shelter in Fort Collins, so I also have experience with endless breeds and ages of dogs. I love going on walks and runs, so I would love to walk an active pup. I also love watching movies and taking it easy, so I also love more chill pups! I run my own marketing agency and work from home, so dogs are rarely left alone. On weekends the most I am gone is 4 hours at a time. I do crate my dog Bodhi and would prefer that your dog is also ok with crates. I take pet walking very seriously, so your dogs' safety is my top priority. During walks, I stay away from other dogs and know how to redirect reactive dogs as well.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Venice
“Karl was a great host for our 6 month old puppy who needed lots of interaction with people. He worked with our schedule and made sure Albie felt at home from the moment he was dropped off to pick up. The whole family interacted with Albie, giving a balanced amount of play vs rest so I picked up a happy calm puppy.”
“Kristina is so kind and I just know my pup will have a blast each time she goes over. Very attentive and sends updates in the day which is nice. I definitely trust and recommend Kristina for future dog care”
“Trenton and Jordan were our lifesavers. They took Daisy on short notice and let us drop her off at 7am! We got plenty of photos of a happy Daisy throughout the day. As soon as Daisy got home, she happily passed out, exhausted from running around and exploring on their property.”
“I’m so grateful that I found Cathleen! I was in a pinch and she saved the day! I can’t speak more highly of how much she helped and made puppy at home! Would definitely recommend and use again!!! If I could give 10 stars I would.”
“I love that Rhonda and her family created a secure and fun back yard for the dogs to play. I also love that the whole family helps with the dogs and that there is usually someone home. It gives me great peace of mind to know that my dog has humans around most of the time. Rhonda's dogs are playful and my dog seemed to be at ease even though she is often fearful of new dogs and new situations.”
“Storm loves coming here when we're in town and I'm pretty sure zi and her pup feel the same way about storm. Always huge smiles and quick tail wags when they see each other. Always contact her first when in the area, highly recommend.”
“Brianna was great, ready for our arrival and Mila took to her just fine. I put a lot of stock into how my Pup greets someone, and it was very comfortable. I appreciate that the house was close to where I needed to be and the calendar was open. Thank you for taking care of my girl”
“So grateful to have found Brooke! She was accommodating and welcoming for our first visit. Her home, big yard, and access to the beach are a pup’s paradise. She did a great job learning the somewhat complicated set of dog obedience cues that we use. Our lovable but anxious dog had a wonderful time and we will definitely be back!”
“Ari is a young pup and is still getting used to being outside the home without her puppy parents, and Heather provided a great experience for her. This was Ari's second daycare visit, and we are looking forward to more bookings in the future!”
“Thanks to Cara we had a wonderful first-time experience on Rover. Yoshi did his first Rover doggy day care and he had a blast. Cara took great care of him and her little girls took to Yoshi. He came home and promptly passed out. Expecting a lot more play dates in the near future. It's awesome to find another Corgi Mom. Thank you, Cara, for welcoming Yoshi into your home. We loved the photos you sent to us throughout the day and hope to add more memories.”
“Christina is our favorite, George gets so excited when we pull up to her house he forgets all about me. He loves playing with her dogs and any other dogs she might have at doggy daycare and I also love that she's great at communicating and sending updates.”
“Emily has the setup when it comes to caring for dogs. Our pup, Bowie, was picked up both days happy as can be. Emily updated us throughout the day with pictures and engaged with Bowie with some of his favorite games, tug and Frisbee. He even made other dog friends! What more can you ask for. I'm handsdown booking with Emily/ Pacific Paws again ☺️”
“I am worry wart dog mom and have been somewhat hesitant to sign Stormy, my tiny, timid Pomeranian puppy, up for daycare. Linda put my worries at ease during our meet and greet. If you have a tiny dog and need a sitter/boarded- book with Linda right now!”
“Somya and josh are great with my dog. We just moved here and Smokey was a little frightened because he was used to being home only with me for last 11 months but they made him feel right at home with them. I would definitely recommend them.”
About: Hi! My name is Maya. I am 28 years old and grew up on the island. I’ve had animals all my life and know how to care for and pamper them. I believe our animals are additional family members and are to be treated with the same respect and love we give to our human family members. I love long walks on the beach (or forest or neighborhood), playing fetch, and just generally loving on your animals. I currently have medically sensitive pets so I am capable and adept at giving medication, surgery recovery, food allergies & skin issues and more. I do full time animal care so have a fair amount of flexibility in my day! I am able to do early mornings and late nights on request. I have one friendly dog, but unless you request a playmate for your dog, or we discuss beforehand, they will stay home. I am very good with instructions/taking notes if you don’t leave set instructions. I will respect your wishes and always be communicative if an issue arises. I believe you know your pet best and I will respect your wishes down to the T whether that be in regards to their walks, their feeding, their home treatment or anything else. I’m here for your pet and your peace or mind!
About: We both grew up with dogs and have fostered 4 times. We currently own a 3 year old rescue pup. We’ve cared for the smallest of dog breeds (Havanese and Boston Terrier) to the largest of breeds (Labs/retrievers, German shepherds, Belgian malinois, pit bulls, etc) so we’re comfortable with all dogs! I work from home, so I’m available all day every day to play and take care of your pups! We’re open to boarding every day of the week. We do have a 3 year old Lab/Border Collie mix, so your dog must be good with other dogs. I will treat your dogs just like my own! We do live in an apartment, but I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks and playtime. I have a friendly dog that would love to keep your pup company :) I’m also comfortable crating dogs if that’s something you need!
“Amazing sitter. Could not have asked for a more professional and dedicated person who genuinely cares for dogs and went above and beyond what we have seen in sitter. Highly recommend as a sitter and will keep her in mind for next time.”

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been part of my everyday world. From a young age, my life has revolved around animals and helping them become the best versions of themselves. Some of my earliest experiences were with cats, including a feral rescue named Misty I bonded with closely as a child. I tend to connect well with animals that are more troubled, reactive, or unsure, and I’m often able to bring out their calmer, more trusting side. Later on in my life, my experience expanded significantly through raising and caring for Golden Retrievers. Growing up around breeding and long-term dog care taught me responsibility, consistency, and how much attention animals need at different stages of life. I’ve been involved in raising dogs from newborns to adulthood, and many of the dogs I’ve helped raise have gone on to become unforgettable adventure companions for their families. Over the past fifteen years, I’ve gained extensive experience working with animals through long-term, hands-on care. My background as a Golden Retriever breeder has given me perspective on how different animals can be, even within the same breed. Every animal has unique preferences, behaviors, and ways of communicating, and learning to recognize those differences has been a major part of my experience. I’m comfortable managing multiple animals at once and handling a range of needs without becoming overwhelmed. I’m most accustomed to larger dogs, but my experience raising puppies has given me the delicacy and awareness needed to care for smaller animals as well. I’m especially familiar with puppies under six months old, including their unpredictable behavior and the extra attention they require. I’ve also worked with dogs that can be semi-reactive in certain situations. While I’m not willing to take on dogs that are broadly aggressive, I retain the right to assess the dog before accepting. I’m most comfortable with working with dogs that are borderline reactive but not reactive-aggressive. I can recognize signs of stress or reactivity, and can manage dogs that are generally well-functioning but may need thoughtful handling in specific situations. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-ins and walks throughout the day, generally between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm, unless I’m staying at a client’s home for house sitting. Animal care already shapes my daily routine, and I’m used to structuring my day around feeding schedules, exercise, outdoor exposure, and rest. I’m comfortable juggling different routines and planning time and resources around an animal’s specific needs. I’m very conscientious about safety and environmental risks. I pay close attention to doors, gates, toxic plants, household hazards, interactions with unfamiliar animals, and changes in an animal’s behavior. I rely on observation and experience to distinguish between normal behavior and something that may need attention. If something seems off, I communicate clearly and directly, providing context and details without being alarmist. I also enjoy sharing updates and photos so owners feel informed and connected while they’re away. I have experience filming and taking photos of animals especially dogs and cats that don’t sit still - so you’re bound to get a good photo or two of them.
“I highly recommend Krista, who cares for my boxer, Sunny. Krista is exceptionally caring and reliable, always making sure Sunny is happy, safe, and well-exercised. She genuinely loves animals, and I have complete peace of mind knowing Sunny is in her care when i am working.”
“Eli did a fantastic job with my dog, Spot! Eli showed up on time, paid close attention to details about caring for Spot, appeared genuinely interested in Spot’s personality and needs, was kind and caring while demonstrating an ability to manage Spot with safety in mind. I will definitely rebook with Eli!”
About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience! I grew up with multiple dogs and have spent years walking and caring for pets, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with different routines, energy levels, and personalities—and I always make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. Mondays–Wednesdays are my off days and my most flexible time. I work Thursday–Sunday afternoons starting around 2, and my mornings are usually reserved for staying active—walks, workouts, or anything that gets me moving. I don’t have pets currently, but I’ve grown up caring for family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with most breeds, prioritizing calm, safe, attentive care.
“Wow, Maya took such great care of our dog. She was really invested in making sure our dog enjoyed her walks, and our terrier is not easy to please! Maya will definitely be our first choice in the future. Thank you Maya!”

“Lisa saved us and Oakley because I had to be gone much longer than planned. She knows the drill with Oakley and he seems to feel very comfortable with her. She's a keeper for sure!”
About: Hello! I love animals of all shapes and sizes, dogs being my favorites to this day. I have my own dog, a rescue, who joined my family at 6 months old several years ago. Ever since I haven't been able to say no to any furry friends! I have experience with both young and old dogs and their needs, having dog sat and owned one in the past. I am very good with all sizes of dogs as well; large or small, I love them all! Additionally, I am an avid distance runner--- I love the outdoors and will happily take your dog for anything from a leisurely walk to a run. I am fully comfortable with walking dogs through various parks, trail systems, and neighborhoods, and know how to assure their safety in a metropolitan area. My own dog and I run together frequently throughout Overland Park. Due to this, I am also very adept at noticing and caring for canine needs before, after, and during exercise. I hope you allow me the chance to care for and walk your dog!
“Alisha took so much care in walking our dog. She made sure she was safe and enjoyed her walks very much. We would definitely love to have her walk our dog again.”

About: I have a dog at home that I helped trained and have taken care of friends and family’s dogs. I would love to take care of your pup and give it lots of attention. I am a college student home for the summer and am currently for the most part free any day. This could change later on as I find out my schedule. I only offer dog walking services. I can assure you that your dog will be well taken care of and will have lots of fun on their walk. If allowed treats will also be given
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, and even koi fish. I specialize in earning the trust of shy and sensitive animals, including feral and rescued cats, senior pets, and anxious dogs. I’ve bottle-fed kittens, provided comfort care to elderly animals, and supported a large outdoor cat colony with love and patience. What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive presence and deep understanding of animal behavior. I customize care to your pet’s specific needs—whether that’s playtime, peaceful companionship, medication support, or senior care. I’m retired from a career in IT, so I’m reliable, communicative, and available with a flexible schedule. I’ll treat your pets like family and your home with the utmost respect. I’m retired and have the flexibility to dedicate my time fully to pet care. My daily routine already revolves around feeding, observing, and nurturing animals. Most of the animals I care for are rescues with unique needs, so I’m experienced with medications, vet visits, and creating a calm, nurturing environment.
About: When neighbors or friends need a dog sitter, I always raise my hand! I love long walks, playing fetch and canine cuddles. I have experience with all ages (young pup to senior). I am taking time to figure out my next professional chapter. While I do that, I have lots of time to put energy into something I love: being with animals. I'm well-versed in using multiple-dog-lead leashes, spending quality time with pets, and being bad cop when a fur baby tries to get an extra feeding.
“Natalie was on time, conscientious, and great with the pups. She put my mind at ease during a particularly stressful time when I could not walk them daily. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Jamie was amazing with our boy Truckee! The communication and updates she provided were great and she went above and beyond taking care of our pup. We know hes in great hands with Jamie and couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Emily has been great. Our pup (who can be wary of new people) quickly warmed up to her and gets super excited when she shows up for a walk now. Emily has extensive experience with animals and a very similar positive training style to our own. Most importantly for us, she's adept at handling leash reactive dogs, so we feel comfortable when she's out in the world with ours. She communicates well and has been super responsive when we've had to change plans. We feel lucky to have found her!”
About: I grew up in a family that always had at least one dog and as many as 4 at a time. I have owned dogs and cats for all of my 60+ years. Dogs are my fur people. They are beloved members of the family and treated as such. I don’t raise “hup-to” pups but they are sweet, loving friends. I am a retired RN and an End of Life Doula. I am autonomous and flexible with my time. Angus my hound and I walk 1-2 hours every morning. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly couch potato Ridgebacks and a cat with an attitude! I am used to navigating the needs of pets.
About: I have always been an extreme dog lover…growing up I volunteered through various adoption agencies and duties included fostering dogs, helping with walks, and lots of playing and entertaining. I have two absolutely insane pups, so no dog will be too much energy to handle. My partner and I are very active and love bringing our pups along on all of our adventures, and I would love to do the same for your pup, if they like the outdoors. If not, I'm just as happy snuggling up and providing lots of love and attention when you're away. I unfortunately cannot sit inside my home because my one pup, Kona, doesn't always get along with other dogs, but walks, drop-ins and house sitting are definitely something I can do! I'm very flexible when it comes to what you might need, so I can make most accommodations without issue! I'm very excited to take care of your pup while you're out, and I always send pics/updates (if you'd like), because I know I love when a sitter does that for me! Fit in care around work schedule, try to accommodate what your needs are. Depending on the season, my availability changes but I’ll always be upfront about that. Happy to follow any instructions you provide. Happy to play in the yard, take your pup on walks/run, take your pup to the trails…whatever they like best!

“This was our second time having Casie care for our pups. She remembered details from their first visit to keep them comfortable while in her care. She's a great communicator and, most importantly, our pups are excited to see her.”
“Matthew was amazing with my very nervous and anxious dog, Tucker. We did a test night before a longer trip, and while Tucker was hesitant and unsure at first (including some growling and barking), Matthew was incredibly patient and kind. He let Tucker set the pace, waited for him to feel comfortable, and never rushed the process. While we were away for over a week, Matthew regularly sent updates and photos, which was reassuring. It was wonderful to see Tucker gradually looking more relaxed, confident, and comfortable in his care. Seeing that progress made a huge difference for my peace of mind. I would absolutely love to board Tucker with Matthew again in the future and highly recommend him, especially for dogs who may need extra patience and understanding.”
“Flex has an amazing time visiting Trenton and Jordan! He comes back happy and tired from so much play time. He’s already looking forward to next time.”
“Kristina took such good care of my baby! Arya stayed with her for two weeks and she was amazing! I am so happy to have found her. She is very flexible and has a great home and environment to board your baby! Highly recommend”
“I am living for a few months near Poulsbo and needed to find a dog sitter in the area. I connected with Brianna and we visited briefly before my trip. I immediately felt comfortable with her. She took great care of Romeo, sent me photos and updates and was easy to communicate with. My dog is small and he got along with their much larger dog. I highly recommend Brianna as a caring dog sitter.”
“James is very easy to work with. He provided great care to my girl with frequent updates. There’s no better peace of mind than knowing your fur baby is in good hands while you’re away.”
“My dog Lucy had such a good time with Christina and her doggos. I loved all the updates and pictures, she was really being loved like she would’ve been with us. She was sent home with the cutest Easter picture. I would definitely bring Lucy back to her again. Thank you so much!”
“David and his family were so great taking care of Mr.Weenie! It was a huge sense of relief knowing he was in good hands during his stay. David sent updates with pictures and videos. Mr weenie was given a lot of love and attention along with baths and play time. I will definitely be using David again in the future!”
“Celia and her family took great care of our dog while we traveled out of the country. Our dog loved playing with the kids and being outdoors. She was treated lovingly by the family and we couldn’t ask for more than that. Celia was very flexible and accommodating as our flight was delayed. We are so grateful to have peace of mind while we were so far away. Thank you all so much!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who friends and family regularly trust to care for their pets while they travel. I have two friendly golden retrievers who truly love other dogs and are gentle, playful, and well-socialized. I’m experienced with a wide range of personalities—from high-energy pups who need lots of playtime to senior dogs who prefer a calm, cozy environment. I treat every dog as if they were my own, paying close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and individual quirks. Your dog will enjoy plenty of love, supervised play, and a safe, comfortable home where they’re never just “watched,” but genuinely cared for. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and a calm, structured environment. I’m available for both short-notice needs and bookings well in advance as you plan your travels. My goal is to be your go-to sitter whenever you need reliable, loving care. I have a large fully fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized golden retrievers who enjoy playing in the backyard by a game of chase and/or fetch. I closely monitor playtime and all interactions, follow each dog’s routine, and can crate, separate, or provide quiet space if needed in order to keep all dogs in my care stress/free, comfortable and happy. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities. This isn’t just a place where you drop your dog for the day or for a trip. It’s a calm, loving environment where dogs feel safe and loved while you’re away. I choose thoughtful exercise and enrichment to keep them happy and give them plenty of opportunities to burn energy and excitement.
“Carl is an amazing sitter! Very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and I could tell our boy was very comfortable and having a great time while we were gone. Carl’s space is fantastic for any pets, our dog loved being there. I will absolutely reach out to Carl first in the future for any sitting needs.”
“Alexa was a fantastic care taker to my two border collies. I got frequent pictures and videos and it was clear my dogs settled in early! They were right at home. Alexa was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and I would absolutely use her again in the future. Your pets would be lucky to stay with her!”
“Our dog had such a great time and came back relaxed from her 10-day "vacation" while we were out of the country. Sarah kept us updated and sent pictures daily. Super sweet family! Can totally recommend 😊”
“The pups had an amazing time with Tim and he was able to watch them on such short notice! I got updates throughout the stay which was really nice to see while away. Would definitely book again in the future!”
“Jill and Max took such great care of my pug Biggie while I was out of town for an extended weekend. Jill was super communicative and provided daily updates on how he was doing. She sent lots of pictures throughout the day, which I appreciated too. I could tell he was getting lots of love and attention from them and having a great stay! I'd definitely recommend booking with them!”
