“Trenton and Jordan are amazing! Our husky loved her time with them - so content, comfortable and perfectly worn out at pick up. She’s all husky - vocal, a bit bossy, independent but a snuggler and playful. They met her exactly where she’s at. It is obvious they are incredibly intuitive with dogs, speak dog and love them all. Thank you Trenton! Mara will be back!”
“This was Bruce's second time with the girls and he LOVED it! He's currently pouting now that he's home. They sent me photos and videos that melted my heart! It was very obvious he felt at home, and for a old man that's really important. I'm moving a few hours away at the end of the month, but I'll absolutely be saving their information for future travel plans flying out of SeaTac. One thousand percent recommended these ladies! 💛💙”
“Izzy and family were great! It was our first stay, and our golden retriever, Briggan, settled in quickly. Izzy sent pictures regularly, which eased our mind immensely. We had to make a couple last minute changes and she was very accommodating. I think fun was had by all. We won't hesitate to call Izzy the next time we plan to be out of town.”
“Pickle didn't want to leave because he had so much fun! Casie was very knowledgeable about dogs and took great care of our boy. She even gave him a bath because he was so muddy from playing all week. Would definitely recommend her to anyone and would definitely use her services again.”
“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!”
“This was my first time using Rover, or any pet sitting service, and I couldn’t have been more content with how easy the process was to book the service. Our sitter, Lorelei, was beyond amazing with our fur baby. She consistently keep us updated with pictures and daily details of their day. It made me feel at ease about traveling without our fur baby. I completely recommend Lorelei and will be booking with her again in the future.”
“Reggie loves Cathleen and her husband! They are his second family. We just picked him up from an extended stay over Easter and he was happy and well cared for. He was given his eye drops as needed, walks, socialization and lots of fun. I never have had a second thought about leaving him in their care.”
“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!”
“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.”
“I got multiple images throughout the trip, often multiple a day. I could tell that Mortdecai was really integrating into family life based on the types of poses and posture. I was so happy with this visit and if I have to travel again I would definitely try to book with Kyah again.”
“Maui is always well taken care of when she is with James. When we used to take her to a different boarder we could always tell she had been stressed, but that has never happened with James. He sends pictures and videos while we are away and I am always glad to see Maui playing and going for walks. We will happily continue to have James watch our girl!”
“Matthew provided excellent care for our dog Basil and frequent updates while we were out of town. When Basil got sick unexpectedly, he took him to the vet twice, made homemade chicken and rice, and helped administer medicine. This was a huge relief to us and his care was above and beyond! We would definitely use Matthew again to board and care for Basil”
“This was our first time using Rover. We are in love with Corinne! She made the entire process easy and made us feel really comfortable leaving Bodie for the first time. She payed attention to all the details and would send us daily updates and photo's. Thanks Rover and Hugs and tail wags to Corinne!”
“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!”
“I've used a lot of people on Rover and I've always been happy but this time I am extremely happy he did such a great job with communication my dog was extremely happy and I couldn't ask for a better person to watch my dog”
“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!”
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.

“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!”
“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.”
“Lisa is a fantastic cat sitter - she took great care of our three cats including the one cat that have some eating disorder and we couldn't let the cat loose any more waite while we were out for 2 weeks. She spent a lot of time learning this cat's preference and habits and gave a great care while we were out. In addition, our beta fish got sick suddenly while we were out and she got medication for the fish and recovered him. We are so greatful for everything Lisa has done and strongly recommended.”
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.
“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.
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: 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.
“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: 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: 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!
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.
“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,”
“Leaving a pet at home when we go on a trip has always been stressful for us. This was our first time using Rover and we are so glad we did. Kim did an amazing job looking after our cat while we were away. She was punctual, which we were grateful for, so as to keep our kitty's routine as normal as possible. We received daily pictures, as well as texts, on how each visit went. She was quick to respond to all of my text messages and just gave us such peace of mind knowing things were being done just as we would do them while were gone. We will absolutely be contacting Kim in the future for all of our pet sitting needs. Couldn't be happier!”
“Izzy is always amazing with our pets. She is easy going and communicative and always sends lots of pictures of her drop ins. She consistently spends over 30 minutes with our cats and is great! We’ve used her for about 8 months now for week long and weekend trips.”
“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!”

“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.”
“Why is there only 5 stars option, she did absolutely amazing and has helped us take care of our baby pandora. She has an amazing heart and love for all the puppies. If I could give more stars for how amazing she is I would”
“We are very pleased with Cathleen and how well she cared for Lucy. We had a meet & greet first and then scheduled Lucy’s first visit for today. All I can say is that it’s a good life for a dog if they spend the day with Cathleen! Walks, beach, and naps!”
“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.”
About: In our home, dogs aren’t just guests — they’re family. We live on a quiet private street on Bainbridge Island with a spacious yard, including a securely fenced section — perfect for safe play and fun. Dogs who stay with us are treated like family. We’ve owned many breeds over the years, from Golden Retrievers to Huskies to Terriers, and love meeting each dog’s unique needs. Our two boys (10 and 13) adore visiting pups and keep them busy with games, backyard adventures, and plenty of exercise. Along with playtime in the yard, we take dogs on daily long walks to keep them happy, healthy, and tired in the best way. You’ll get daily photo and video updates so you can see your dog having a blast. We’ll love and care for your dog as if they’ve always been part of our family. As a stay-at-home dad, I’m home most of the day to give visiting dogs plenty of love, attention, and supervision. Mornings start with playtime and a walk to get tails wagging. Throughout the day, we include walks, yard time, games, and plenty of exercise to keep pups happy and engaged. In the evenings, we enjoy long walks at beautiful Battle Point Park or along wooded trails, followed by cozy snuggles to help every dog wind down feeling safe and loved. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first in our home. We have a securely fenced section of our yard for safe, supervised play, and dogs are always leashed when outside that area. Visiting pups meet our two friendly resident dogs gradually, ensuring a smooth and comfortable introduction for everyone. If dogs need their own space, we have plenty of separate areas inside the house to keep them relaxed and stress-free. Someone is almost always home to supervise, and walks at beautiful Battle Point Park or nearby wooded trails give every dog fresh air, exercise, and enrichment in a safe environment.
“Mac & Rocky had a great time at Christina's house, and we love her "pack", Finn and Dante. Christina is super-professional, inspires confidence, and kept us posted on how our guys were doing. We really appreciate her!”
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.
“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.”
“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 ☺️”
“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.”
“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!”
“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”
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!
“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!”
About: I’ve raised dogs my whole life — Shelties, German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, Boxers, and now a Great Dane. From puppies to seniors, I’ve had the privilege of caring for them all. I can continue or begin house training, crate training, and basic commands with a gentle, positive reinforcement style. My husband, Bryce, and I work together as a team to care for your pets. We both have years of experience with dogs of all breeds and personalities, and we make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and part of the family. Living with a Great Dane has taught us how to handle giant breeds with confidence, while also being just as comfortable with the tiniest pups. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or reinforcing training, you can count on both of us to give your pets the attention they deserve. We know how important it is for dogs to have interaction and not feel alone. That’s why we only offer pet care knowing that one of us will always be home. Andrea is home all day Friday through Sunday, and Bryce works remotely from home Monday through Friday. Together, that means your pets get consistent love, attention, and companionship every day of the week. We have a large, fully fenced yard that is perfect for lots of running and play time. Our sweet Great Dane, Mercedes, and two children will shower your pet with love and attention!

“Krista has been such a great walker for my 2 dogs. Very trustworthy and communicative. She switches up walks and is reliable with scheduling. My energetic dogs can be a handful together and Krista handles them both with confidence and care. She always sends updates and photos, which I really appreciate. I can tell my dogs are excited when they see her, and they come back happy and well-exercised. Also wonderful for checkins- Highly recommend!”

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.

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.”
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.
“Thank you so much for hanging out with my boy today. I love the info that you gave me while you were with him. It totally set my mind at ease and when I got home he was in such a happy mood. Cheers!!”
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!
“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: My friends call me "The world's best dog mom" I've had a strong connection to animals since I was a child. I've raised puppies and cared for them in their senior years, managing their aches and pains with the best care, post-surgery care, medication administration- I've done it all. I work from home and am able to offer drop-in visits on the island to check on your fur babies while you’re out. Weekends are more flexible, but can also do weekdays. I currently offer drop-in visits at your home, perfect for potty breaks, feeding, water, play, snuggles, or any special needs they may have, like giving medication.
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: 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!

“Trenton and Jordan are amazing! Our husky loved her time with them - so content, comfortable and perfectly worn out at pick up. She’s all husky - vocal, a bit bossy, independent but a snuggler and playful. They met her exactly where she’s at. It is obvious they are incredibly intuitive with dogs, speak dog and love them all. Thank you Trenton! Mara will be back!”
“This was Bruce's second time with the girls and he LOVED it! He's currently pouting now that he's home. They sent me photos and videos that melted my heart! It was very obvious he felt at home, and for a old man that's really important. I'm moving a few hours away at the end of the month, but I'll absolutely be saving their information for future travel plans flying out of SeaTac. One thousand percent recommended these ladies! 💛💙”
“Izzy and family were great! It was our first stay, and our golden retriever, Briggan, settled in quickly. Izzy sent pictures regularly, which eased our mind immensely. We had to make a couple last minute changes and she was very accommodating. I think fun was had by all. We won't hesitate to call Izzy the next time we plan to be out of town.”
“Pickle didn't want to leave because he had so much fun! Casie was very knowledgeable about dogs and took great care of our boy. She even gave him a bath because he was so muddy from playing all week. Would definitely recommend her to anyone and would definitely use her services again.”
“Reggie loves Cathleen and her husband! They are his second family. We just picked him up from an extended stay over Easter and he was happy and well cared for. He was given his eye drops as needed, walks, socialization and lots of fun. I never have had a second thought about leaving him in their care.”
“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!”
“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.”
“I got multiple images throughout the trip, often multiple a day. I could tell that Mortdecai was really integrating into family life based on the types of poses and posture. I was so happy with this visit and if I have to travel again I would definitely try to book with Kyah again.”
“Maui is always well taken care of when she is with James. When we used to take her to a different boarder we could always tell she had been stressed, but that has never happened with James. He sends pictures and videos while we are away and I am always glad to see Maui playing and going for walks. We will happily continue to have James watch our girl!”
“Matthew provided excellent care for our dog Basil and frequent updates while we were out of town. When Basil got sick unexpectedly, he took him to the vet twice, made homemade chicken and rice, and helped administer medicine. This was a huge relief to us and his care was above and beyond! We would definitely use Matthew again to board and care for Basil”
“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!”
“I've used a lot of people on Rover and I've always been happy but this time I am extremely happy he did such a great job with communication my dog was extremely happy and I couldn't ask for a better person to watch my dog”
“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!”
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.
“Thanks Timothy and family for taking great care of our dog Otis while we were gone. Timothy has a fenced in yard for your dog to explore and play with his pup. He gave regular updates on Otis during our time away. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for dog boarding. Thanks again Timothy.”
“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.”
“So happy I found Charis to take care of my dogs. They were very well taken care of while my family was out of town. Charis is a “dog person “ and very understanding of my elderly dogs needs. She was good to send pictures and updates. I can tell when my dogs are stressed but they were very relaxed when I picked them up! I will definitely use Charis again!”
