“We were extremely happy to find a sitter that knew Benesse Mountain dogs. Kristina did an outstanding job taking care our pups. Needless to say, we are extremely pleased and will be using Kristina again.”
“Thank you for you willingness to extend Mikkos stay with such short notice. There was an urgent family health concern , and Elizabeth and her husband were very helpful.”
“Tanya has been so sweet and sending regular photos and update. Punhu was well taken care of and came home even with a bath already. Will recomand Tanya and will book again for sure.”
“Will definitely book again!! Kyah was very responsive and my 2 dogs loved the weekend they spent at her house. Followed my older dogs feeding instructions due to her diet and our puppy was well entertained! Definitely Recommend!?”
“Casie is amazing! She was so sweet and took great care of my girl! She sent daily updates and pictures, her dog cognac was such a nice boy and played with my girl so good. I will be only using Casie from now on!”
“Lorelei is such a great host! I have boarded my puppy with her about 5 or 7 times over the course of December 2015 and January 2016 and I can only say great things about her. Her apt is very welcoming to dogs as she always has fellow playmates around and has a patio area where they can eliminate. One time, my puppy jumped off the furniture wrong and had hurt himself. She called me immediately and also did the courtesy of contacting DogVacay’s own vet for advice. My experience of Lorelei is that she is very attentive to the dogs and cares for them as if they are her own. As a bonus, Lorelei also wrote me thank you cards! I have booked with someone else when she wasn’t available and now I have learned that if you’re going to book on DogVacay, choose Lorelei!”
“Cathleen has a wonderful setup and treats your dog like family! She took my golden retriever on walks and has outside time and sent photos and communicated well! My dog had a good visit and we will be back!”
“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.”
“Our 40 pound aussiedoodle, Pico, seemed to have a great weekend at Timothy’s. Having another pup to play with around Pico’s size was a huge bonus. Pico came home happy and clean!”
“Our dog loved playing with the other pups at David‘s house, and came back happy and tired! It is definitely clear that he cares about dogs and provides them with an awesome space to run around in together!”
“Maria is amazing!! Our pup can be a little nervous in new environments and Maria went out of her way to make sure she was comfortable and getting lots of time outside!! We got tons of updates and photos and I felt so confident that my girl was being well taken care of! I will certainly use Maria’s services again!!”
“Jill took wonderful care of our pup. He can be slow to warm up to people and she was very patient and knowledgable with how to approach him to make him feel comfortable. Jill provided updates and pictures every day and he was clearly happy and well taken care of when we picked him up. I will definitely be asking her to care for our little guy again!”
“Celia has kept my dog Penny twice now and had been great both times. She's easy to communicate with and I can tell the amount of love that Penny receives from her and her family and her cute dog Milo. I highly recommend her!”
“Amanda watched our working line GSD for over a week while we were in Hawaii and she has watched him in the past for doggy daycare. She is the real deal and it made all the difference knowing he was safe and well cared for while we were gone. You can tell she has a ton of experience with dogs and other animals. She loves them yes but also understands how to keep them safe and set reasonable boundaries. Her property is ideal for dogs too with a big fenced yard and kennels. 10/10 recommend!”
“SJ is truly amazing. She has watched our old man French Bulldog multiple times. She leaves our home CLEANER then we left it! She is a great communicator and sends updates on the pup throughout our trip. Knowing SJ is with our dog and caring for our home while we are away gives up ease to enjoy ourselves on our trip. She is an absolute gem!”
“Kevin and his partner took great care of our dog, Ozzy. We got nice pics everyday, so we could see how he was doing. They took Ozzy on walks, and the communication was excellent. The whole process was smooth and easy. I highly recommend Kevin.”

“It was tough to leave my two ginger kitties for 10 days but Micaela and Beau did a great job watching them and keeping me updated. I won't hesitate to reach out to them next time I'm taking a trip.”
“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!”
“Grateful that my very shy cat took to Lisa quicker than I thought possible. Her care left us with no worries while we had to be away. The photo updates Lisa provided regularly were reassuring and kept us close to our pet at heart. It is obvious our cat had TLC.”
“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!”
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.
“Zoe was a great communicator and took good care of my two cats. I have shy cats and she was able to connect with them right away. I especially appreciated her notes while I was away letting me know how they were doing but also leaving comments that made me smile about their specific personalities. I would definitely book Zoe again.”
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.
“Jacob was an outstanding pet sitter for our two cats while we were gone for a week. He made sure to check in with us every day and was extremely communicative about any changes or updates, and even put up with my over the top helicopter pet mom instructions :) Huge thanks, Jacob!”
“Jennifer is amazing!! She has watched my cat before and I felt so much better leaving town, knowing she was going to be there to check in. Jennifer sends detailed notes about how your animal is doing and sends great pictures. Highly recommend going with Jennifer for her services!”
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 recent college graduate with a very flexible summer schedule. I will be available to check up on your pet during any day of the week, time is not a problem for me. 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 :)
“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,”
“This was our first Rover caregiving experience for my senior, shy cat Coal, who has medical needs, since moving out of our tiny apartment (where Coal had few places to hide). Elizabeth successfully discovered his new hiding places, encouraged him out, and gave him his medication on schedule. She also followed all other feeding/treating instructions. It couldn’t have been easy job, given his reluctance to strangers, and she completed it and sent some hilarious photos of Coal in hiding.”
About: Growing up I have had experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I have a love for animals and do my best to ensure they are always safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I will always take the extra step to ensure everything goes smoothly and seamless. I am currently a full time student at Washington State University so my availability is mainly any of the long weekends from August-April and almost anytime from May-July. I provide my services strictly at other peoples homes. I am able and comfortable to take you pet(s) on walks, feed them, kennel them up, give them oral medication, and other basic pet needs.
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.
About: Cats have always been a part of my life—not just as pets, but as beloved companions. With years of experience living with and caring for cats of all ages and personalities, I understand their unique needs, moods, and quirks. Whether your kitty is shy, playful, or a little sassy, I provide calm, loving care that respects their rhythm and makes them feel safe and at ease while you're away.
About: I will provide a fun and loving vacay for your pet, while you are away. Your fur baby will be well taken care of and loved in my home. I am well versed in puppy training from potty training to crate training and learning to walk on a leash, through positive reinforcement. I will love, care for and play with your loved one as they are my own. My home has a fully fenced in yard that is easily accessible via a doggy door. For senior pets, there are no stairs in the home. I own the property next to me so there is also plenty of room there to play and chase balls. I am happy to discuss with you how I can best care for your animal while your are away to ensure a smooth and stress free experience for both. I currently work full time M-F from 7am until 3:30pm. I am available for boarding at my home 7 days a week. I will ensure your animal gets plenty of play time before I go to work and upon my return. I have a fully fenced in yard that is accessible via the doggy door of their own personal play room in my home. Your fur baby will be kept company by my loving and playful Australian Cattle Dog. While I am away from the home dogs are kept in the back playroom. I am willing to help and assist in crate training if needed or desired. While I am home your pet will be welcomed to be apart of my family whether it’s hiking, going for walks or just a night in chilling by the fire and watching TV. Your animal we be treated and loved as my own.
“Mel and Kelly were perfect. They seemed to genuinely enjoy our cats! They were diligent about checking in and out on the Rover app. We were so happy to see fantastic photos added to their daily report card. Just a wonderful experience that provided us piece of mind while away AND gave our social cats daily pets and attention.”

“Cathleen was so friendly and helpful- taking care of our pups with just a few day's notice when we wanted to visit the island. She made Vivi and Bijou feel comfortable and at home- as evidenced by the photos of them relaxing and snoozing without a care. We were so glad to find her and wouldn't hesitate to have our pups stay with her again.”
“Muggzy had a great day with Trenton and Jordan! They genuinely seemed to enjoy him and understand his needs. He didn’t want to leave! We hope to have him visit there often.”
“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”
About: I’ve always loved dogs & have had pups by my side my entire life. Caring for dogs comes second nature to me. I’ve worked with dogs of all personalities and ages, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors who need a gentler touch. I’m patient and responsible, and enjoy making dogs feel comfortable and happy. Whether your dog is shy, social, quirky, or full of zoomies, I know how to adjust care to match their needs. My family & I treat every dog like they’re our own and we would love the opportunity to spend time with your furry friend too! My Skills & Experience: - Lifelong dog lover with experience caring for pups of all ages - Comfortable with shy, senior, high-energy, and big-breed dogs - Gentle, patient approach with anxious or first-time boarders - Understanding of dog body language and safe interactions - Experienced with medication routines and special instructions - I provide updates, photos, and videos of your pup while you're away! I am home most of the time with my 1 year old currently so am able to accommodate and care for your dog(s) most days and times! I’m able to give dogs plenty of interaction and attention throughout the day. My calendar is always up to date, but feel free to message me with any schedule-specific questions. About My Home: Your pup will feel safe, loved, and comfortable here! I have a fully fenced yard perfect for playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of sniffing. I also have two friendly dogs who enjoy company, though all interactions are based on your dog’s comfort level. Inside, I’ve created multiple gated areas so every dog has their own calm, secure space. Crates are available if your dog prefers them or if you request it. I use a Furbo camera and happily will send photo and video updates so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. When the weather cooperates, I love taking dogs on peaceful neighborhood walks, and I can provide baths if needed as well. *Important: I do have a 1 year old at home, so I’m only able to host dogs who are gentle and comfortable with young children. Safety and a calm environment are top priorities in our home. Safety: Your dog’s comfort and safety , and my family’s, are my top priorities. I do slow, careful introductions with my dogs, or no introductions if requested. Gated “safe spaces” are always available. I follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions exactly as given.
“Zi did a great job watching Yuki, even though he had an accident at her apartment and hyperactive with her dog. She sent plenty of photos, videos and updates, and was honest with how my pup did at the end. I'd recommend her with anyone who has a small/medium sized dog.”
“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.”
“Our boys had a great time with Brooke and her gang and we felt welcomed, safe & cared for. Also the communication was first rate and we really appreciated the pics during the day. We’ll be back if she’ll have us!”
“Christina's house is full of puppy love! She's so warm and welcoming, and my dogs felt the same way. I could tell from the photos she sent that they were relaxed and happy. Thank you Christina for your awesome care, and for having such a loving environment for my pups to hang out in.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I was a little nervous to leave my 5 month puppy, but she enjoyed playing with other dogs and getting extra love from Heather. When I dropped her off for another daycare visit, she was so excited to see Heather.”
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!
About: I grew up around various different dogs and have experience ranging from dog sitting, working at boarding facilities, fostering, and basic training. I’ve worked with many different breeds and work on positive reinforcement based training on my walks to improve leash manners and confidence. Dogs in my care receive both physical and mental exercise through walks, play, scent games, and training. I am open to working with reactive dogs or fearful dogs. If you have an intact male, please message me prior to booking. I look forward to loving your pup! I’m a teacher which means I’m home for the summer! I’m available all day, everyday to give your pup all the love and attention they deserve! I always like to do a meet and greet with dogs prior to boarding so I can better understand their needs and so they can get to know me. I take various safety measures based on each dogs needs. This may include double leashing, using a slip or martingale collar, or walking in quiet locations.
About: I have had dogs my whole life but for the past 23 years I've raised 3 dogs with my husband. I have gone through all life stages with my dogs. I can provide play time, take them for walks or just let them play in our small enclosed deck. Since I work from home for the past 14 years I can give them lots of attention. I recently lost my senior, she was 16 and half years old and now only have one dog. So plenty of time to take care of your fur baby. I'm experienced with seniors dogs, giving medications and general care. Because we have a small 10 pound dachshund we prefer a smaller friendly non-aggressive dog. Please reach out if you have any questions! I love dogs and since I work from home I feel I'm in the best position to care for one. Bonus is that my dog will have a friend. I would be available to provide walks, cuddle time and supervision throughout the day. I can work around your pet's needs and create a stable continues environment.
“Danielle was very sweet and worked with my schedule. My puppies loved going over there and all of their energy is GONE from having so much fun! She provided pictures, and was communicative. Would be happy to rebook with her again anytime. Thank you for taking care of my boys<3”
“Kyah was great. She was willing to learn about all our dogs particular needs. She took him for a walk and gave us plenty of updates. Kyahs dog is calm and well mannered, the perfect companion pup. We will definitely use her services again!”

“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’ve been around dogs my whole life and have helped take care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors for years. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats, including a puppy, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I can also do overnights! I have experience with rescue dogs and dogs from abusive households - I understand that every animal has a different personality and needs different levels of patience and attention. I love animals and always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have two dogs- a Black Mouth Cur named Koa who was a rescue from Hawaii and an Anatolian Shepherd/Great Pyrenees Mix named Chung from a shelter in Tacoma. I have a flexible schedule and can work with a variety of pet care needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe while their owners are away. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I also have experience with rescue dogs and understand the importance of patience when working with shy or nervous pets.
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.
“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: 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.
“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!”
About: I grew up with a dog, rescued a 12-year old senior with lots of medical needs, foster as often as I can (the weeks-old litters are especially fun!), and have had both small and large dogs. I have experience taking care of young puppies to sweet seniors. My husband and I have 3 seniors (12+) who are all rescues. If you are considering me for a service at our home, please know that your pet will need to get along with them. I look forward to a meet and greet so that our pets can get acquainted. For longer stays, I have a questionnaire that covers lots of details, so I'll be sure to share that with you to cover a lot of questions. Thanks for considering me and I hope to meet you soon! ======= First time considering Rover? Use my discount code for $20 off: NORAK01278 I have an open and flexible schedule and can accommodate to your pet’s typical day. Generally speaking, morning and evening walks, with a longer mid-day run or play. Potty-trained and friendly dogs are welcome to slumber party over here with our 3 seniors (20-25 lbs). If yours is better as a solo dog, let me know your needs and maybe we can find a solution.
“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!”
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!
About: I will often take the extra step with animals to make sure that the anxiety or sadness they may feel is settled when their owner is away. I also have experience with senior animals, and kittens/puppies! I am completely free most of the time! I’m a student at the University of Oregon, because of this I have a flexible schedule in the summer time. I am staying on Island until October when I return to school. I would love to meet some special critters before I leave the rock! I care for pets the way the owners see fit. I will follow instructions, and ensure that the time the critters are with me will not be different from their daily routine.
“Piper walked our dog this week as one of us was out of town and the other slammed at work. Piper was perfect! Punctual, super communicative, and our dog loved her! (and even one of our cats did too, though she was only over to walk the dog!). Highly recommend!”
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.
“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.”
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!

Jill provided updates and pictures every day and he was clearly happy and well taken care of when we picked him up. I will definitely be asking her to care for our little guy again!”
“Celia has kept my dog Penny twice now and had been great both times. She's easy to communicate with and I can tell the amount of love that Penny receives from her and her family and her cute dog Milo. I highly recommend her!”
“Amanda watched our working line GSD for over a week while we were in Hawaii and she has watched him in the past for doggy daycare. She is the real deal and it made all the difference knowing he was safe and well cared for while we were gone. You can tell she has a ton of experience with dogs and other animals. She loves them yes but also understands how to keep them safe and set reasonable boundaries. Her property is ideal for dogs too with a big fenced yard and kennels. 10/10 recommend!”
“Such caring people with great communication ! I was so nervous about leaving my dog because he has high anxiety , but he felt right at home and even ate all his meals. Gryffin had healthy play time with their dog and I never felt he was unsafe . I received pictures day and night which was delightful . Will definitely be rebooking for my next vacation.”
“Michael was an amazing sitter for my dog and communicator for me!! We had a last minute schedule change and were traveling to Seattle unexpectedly. Michael was so helpful and accommodating to make this work with less notice than usual! He was prompt and communicative sending me pictures of Sox updates along the way. His dog Ellie was very chill and seemed to get along with Sox great. I definitely would (and will!) work with Michael again!”
“I was confused about the drop off time due to conflicting messages from Rover and Danielle stepped up and made it work. I really appreciated her taking our dog early even though it affected her plans. Our dog had a great 1st sleepover away from home! He is going back for another visit soon. Thank you Danielle!”
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.
“Charis is fabulous as always. The puppies were sad to leave they always have so much fun. She gave us some stuff to work on with them and I appreciate the feedback! Even gave some tips and advise! Thank you Charis!!”
“Christie was a wonderful host to our 2 pugs. This was out first Rover experience and we could not have been happier. Christie sent us pictures and updates every day and even sent us home with portraits that will have us laughing and enjoying for years. We definitely plan to have Christie watch our babies again. They had so much fun and were very loved.”
“100% would recommend! Brooke and her family took wonderful care of Rudy. From the pics and videos, you could tell he was getting a ton of love and attention. I would absolutely rebook with Brooke next time we need someone to watch our boy. Thank you!!!”
