“Elizabeth took great care of Reggie while we were out of town for the night! She sent many pictures and videos and ensured he was having fun without us, with lots of walks and playtime. We will definitely be using her for all our future bookings if available!”
“Fantastic!! We couldn’t be happier with the care and attention our two Yorkies received, and getting daily updates was a great comfort….will definitely use their service again!”
“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”
“Lorelei is the best -- she takes such good care of Daisy when we go on a trip. I can see how relaxed and happy she is in the pictures and videos Lorelei sends ❤️”
“Steven and Rachel took great care of Daisy! They sent us plenty of updates and responded quickly to any questions. Daisy had a blast playing with their Daisy and they took care of her additional health requests. We’ll definitely ask them to watch her again the next time we go on a trip :)”
“Pepe had a blast at Charmaine’s. Received daily photos of him having tons of fun with the other dogs! He came back happy and tired. Thanks again for being so accommodating!”
“Scooby was treated like a king! Kayla’s kids always made sure he was nice and comfortable. Her husband took him on runs and he was made to feel like part of the family. We will definitely use Kayla again.”
“Conor was great with our pup! He came home happy and tired! Conor worked with Loki on a lead, as he has always been a stronger puller, and we are very impressed by the effort and time he put in to care for our pup. We definitely recommend Conor's services.”
“Ruslana did a wonderful job with our little Bear. He looked so happy and contented in all the pictures that she sent to us and we really appreciated her active care of him. Ruslana went above and beyond with Bear’s care. We had wanted Bear to be all cleaned up for Ruslana, so we had him bathed and groomed before dropping him off. The Groomer had shaved Bear’s face too closely and had scraped his skin. Ruslana was attentive to his needs and notified us very quickly. She proposed getting a cone to keep him from scratching so he could heal up. After talking this thru, she ordered the cone and cared for all his needs. We are extremely happy with all Ruslana did for our BearBear and would give her our highest possible recommendation. Sally and Doug Thimm 801-699-7507”
“Rachael was great. She provided me regular updates on my pup while he stayed with her, which I very much appreciated. She also responded to any and all of my communications quickly and was very flexible. Would definitely recommend.”
“Mana and Kento were absolutely amazing. They send pictures and videos of piper every day. They were very attentive of my pups needs and loved her like their own. I could tell at pick up that piper had a great time and was well taken care of. Next time that I need to go out of town I will want to use Mana and Kento!”
“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.”
“Jenny made our dogs feel so at home and gave updates to us while we were away. Leaving for 2 weeks internationally took alot of trust in those caring for our dogs. Jenny went over and beyond to make sure that we enjoyed our vacation and didn't have to worry about our dogs. From enrichment activities, to walks, to cuddles, - our dogs couldn't have had it better. We would 100% have Jenny care for our dogs again. Thanks Jenny!”
“Kevin and his partner were fantastic! They took excellent care of Edgar while I was gone, and pampered him to boot! Edgar was very sad to leave Kevin's side, and he had to be carried out.”
“Seth took such great care of my dog Peaches. He sent updates and pictures everyday and was a great communicator. We would definitely use him again and would recommend him to anyone to watch their furry friends!”
“The best of the best! I have never been so blown away by someone like Cathy. She goes completely above and beyond with your pet because she actually cares! I will break down and cry if she ever moves away!”
“Fantastic! Lauren and Ryan cared for our dogs like they were one of their own. The dogs had so much fun they didn't want to go home. Lauren provided lots of pictures and updates every day. I liked that our dogs were able to socialize with their dogs in a big backyard. Our dogs settled right in with Lauren and Ryan after a long day of play and fun.”
“Our dog Bourbon stayed with Julie for 3 weeks while we were on vacation. Julie has been so great with Bourbon during his whole stay and we were able to enjoy our vacation without having to worry about him. We got constant update from Julie about Bourbon and we knew that Bourbon was in good hand. There was no other dog during that time at her place so we knew that Bourbon was getting full attention from Julie all the time. We are very satisfied with her care and would recommend her for anyone who needs someone to take care of their dog.”

“We are very grateful to have found Lisa because she is everything we could hope for in a pet sitter. During our initial meet and greet, she was attentive, professional, and took time to get to know our pets and their routines. She inspired confidence from the start, which gave us peace of mind while we were traveling. Thank you, Lisa!”
“As usual, Jennifer was great with the girls and has built trust with my skittish baby. I think this time, the girls thought Jennifer was their new mama and I was some interloper when I arrived home. Took a bit, but they remember me now. 😊”
“I'm very happy that I found Hailey & Joshua. They took great care of my shy, rescue kitty, making her feel comfortable while I was away on a long vacation. They provided excellent communication every step of the way, exceeding all of my expectations. I would absolutely rebook them again.”
“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.”
“Deanna did an outstanding job taking care of our cat Will during the Thanksgiving holiday! We were so grateful that she was available after we had a last-minute cancellation. The flexibility she demonstrated in immediately stepping in was very impressive; she was literally at our house doing a meet-and-greet within 30 minutes of our cancellation just one day before our departure. Deanna is frankly the best pet sitter we have ever had. She excelled in the basic areas of providing food and water for Will and cleaning his litter box, but the area where she was a step above all others is that she was able to get Will to interact and play. He is a very shy cat, but he was so comfortable with her that he came out on each of her visits and played and interacted with her. This attention and social connection was very good for him during our absence. We highly recommend Deanna!”
“Anna took incredible care of my cat while I was away. She was patient while he warmed up, hung out with him, and made sure he had food/water/clean litter box. So grateful to have found her!”
“Neah was great with my cats! She even got my shy cat to come out for pets :), and took great care of my old guy too! I really appreciate her good communication and flexibility with timing.”
“Amy was great with our kitties! We were so grateful she was willing to do a meet and greet beforehand. She was very communicative, organized, and kind to our cats! We will definitely keep her in mind for future drop ins!”
“Ryland took EXCELLENT care of our two cats while we were out of town. He sent daily photos and updates and also helped to handle other things around the home while we were away. We will definitely recommend and rebook next time we are out of town!”
About: Along with years of personal experience caring for animals, I’ve also provided boarding and pet care for both cats and dogs over the past several years. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re in my care.
About: I currently have two cats of my own, so I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat loves attention and cuddles or prefers a little more space, I’m happy to follow their lead and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I've been around animals all my life! From as small as a mouse to as big as a horse, I love spending my time with animals. I have experience with training dogs (not certified), and love going down animal behavioral rabbit holes (pun intended). My goal is to make sure your babies are taken care and safe while you are away! I am disabled and mostly work several gigs jobs so my time is very flexible! I am willing to work with clients on their needs. I want to respect your and your pet's space and will be very mindful of where they feel comfortable. If you have crate instructions, I am comfortable doing that as well.
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.
About: I have owned cats most of my life. I adopted a 2.5 year old tuxedo from the humane society about 8.5 years ago and recently lost her to cancer. I’m not ready to adopt another, so I’d love to spend time and love on yours!

“Brooke was great! While our dog only stayed with her for a couple hours, I received pictures of our pup and her son playing together. She was kind, attentive, and flexible! If we're back in the area and need someone to watch our pup, we will absolutely reach out to Brooke again. She also had a great place with a fenced in deck!”
“I was incredibly nervous about leaving Uzy, but Kristina, completely eased all my anxiety! Their home was so welcoming, and it was clear from the start that they provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. Uzy came home happy, healthy, and completely relaxed. Kristina, is deeply caring, and highly reliable. I cannot recommend their home enough and will absolutely book them again for Uzy!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Andrea and Bryce have been the kindest and most accommodating sitters. Their dog has been very sweet and friendly with my puppy and they were fast friends in no time! They took lots of photos and sent updates throughout the day which really eased my mind and confirmed my pup was in the best of hands. I’m new to the area, and even when they weren’t able to sit for my pup due to schedule conflicts, they recommended another trusted sitter and went above and beyond in helping me out. I feel so fortunate to have found a safe and loving family to take care of my puppy, and I can’t rec them enough!”
“Kyah was a great help with my pup Tikka for doggy daycare. Kyah was very caring, calming and accommodating to my puppy as she needed some extra comfort from a recent spay surgery. I really appreciated the great communication and updates throughout the day. A relief knowing your pup is being cared for. Will definitely book again!”
“Amanda is amazing with dogs of all breeds and sizes, she is extremely kind and knowledgeable, I 100% trust her with my 7mo gsd pup! We will definitely use her in the future!”
“Zara had a wonderful first time visit with Stacey and River & Birdie. Stacey made her feel comfortable around the bigger dogs and she loved the one-on-one attention from Stacey. My pup was happy and tired when I picked her up. I will definitely book with her again.”
“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.”
“Neah was so great with my dog Louie! She was super communicative and I loved all the photos she shared. When I picked my energetic dog up at the end of the day, I could tell he’d had a super active and fun day. Thank you Neah!!”
About: I have a flexible schedule that can work around your needs. I have experience with several different dog breeds and have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I have a very flexible schedule and I can shape my schedule around the needs of you and your dog and give them the time and attention they need. I have a fenced in yard where they will be free to roam, along with abundant room inside where they will receive lots of care and attention. Will support crate or free sleepers depending on your preference and the dogs needs.
“It was my first time trying out a sitter for Wee and I was very nervous, but Steven and Rachel completely alleviated that worry with frequent updates, photos and genuine care for my pup. When I next need a sitter, Wee will definitely be staying with them. Thank you Steven and Rachel! :)”
“Booked a few days prior to sitting, Robin was quick to respond. During the sitting, I was provided photos and updates throughout the day which I really appreciated. THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“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”
“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.”
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!
“Maggie was amazing! She’s extremely personable, knowledgeable about dogs, and clearly loves what she does. Our Aussie Shepherd puppy was so well cared for and had such a great time she didn’t want to leave! We’re so happy we found Maggie and look forward to our next visit.”
“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.”

“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: With a wealth of experience from owning dogs and cats my whole life and walking/pet-sitting for the past 15 years for dogs of all sizes and demeanors, at the end of the day I just love hanging out with animals! The goal is always to provide loving and informed pet care while making it a fun time for everyone involved :) I’m all for providing care that fits your pet’s specific needs and personality! Specific experience with training puppies and caring for senior dogs in my own home. I work part time remotely with a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of requests! Most days I’m flexible and open with any timing. For services in your home: I'm very respectful and aware of the space and your pet’s needs - never forgetting to shower your pet with love and attention! For services in my home: Your pet will be part of the family and closely looked after while they’re with me. They’ll have comfortable places to rest and hangout inside as well as a fenced yard to use and play in. I have one very sweet dog for them to hang out with too!
About: **I do have base access!** I grew up with cats, dogs, hermit crabs, and even mice. 🐭 I work part-time, so I have a lot of flexibility. Know that I have a cat of my own, Bo (8 years), but he does great with other pets. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and lots of time to care for your furry baby! I’m able to provide plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and check-ins throughout the day, so your pet won’t be left feeling lonely while you’re away. I live in a spacious three-bedroom apartment with plenty of safe space for your kitty to explore and get comfortable. For new visitors, I reserve my laundry room/guest bathroom as their own quiet space so they can decompress and adjust to their new environment at their own pace. Once they’re comfortable, there’s a long hallway that’s perfect for zoomies and plenty of room to explore! I also have a third-floor balcony that my own cat absolutely loves. He spends hours watching the hummingbirds fly up to visit him. 🐦 Any visiting kitties will always be closely supervised if they spend time on the balcony with me. I know every cat adjusts differently, so I’m happy to give them as much space, attention, or company as they need to feel safe and at home. 🐱
“Ryland is so great with my 10 month old puppy Cooper. Cooper can be a little hesitant with new people but Ryland’s good skills and patience have made Cooper excited to see him! We both appreciate the walks and energy outlet they provide.”
“Elizabeth has been great for walking our dog when we have long work days. She’s very communicative and shares adorable pictures. Our dog seems to really enjoy her walks with Elizabeth. Highly recommend!”
About: We are a husband and wife duo who both grew up with animals and have been fostering and watching dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. We truly believe our fur babies deserve the best! We have 2 dogs and 3 cats currently, all of which are used to being around other dogs/cats. We want to help you feel good about leaving them so lets us know what we can do to help! Please note that Jerry primarily does drop in visits and we both help with boarding. If you have questions on care, just let us know! I work from home and my husband is a stay at home dad to our two young children so we can provide whatever care is needed, including frequent bathroom breaks, medicines, etc and lots of love! We have a large back yard that is fully fenced in. Our 25 pound terrier loves to play so your fur baby will have friends! I can also provide a separate room or crate for your baby if needed.
About: I have been house/pet sitting for a few years now. But aside from that I have a dog and cat of my own! I love hanging out with animals and giving them love and affection. I have loved animals since I was little and have helped take care of my pets since elementary school! I would love to show your animals some love while your away, letting them know they are safe! I am currently unemployed and have a bunch of free time to engage with your animals! I want to include taking care of loving animals into my weekly and/or daily routine! I will walk your dog, play fetch, snuggle and give lots of tummy rubs! I know that your pet will be most comfortable in their safe, familiar environment and want to make sure that your pet is happy!
About: I’ve fostered dogs with the company Animal pad in San Diego, I adopted one of those dogs and I volunteer for the Kitsap humane society. I’m recently out of the Navy and about to start school. Looking for short term income where I can have a flexible schedule on the new journey in my life. I will make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you are away and send plenty of cute pictures so you know they are cared for so you can enjoy your time.
About: I've had animals a part of my family since I was born. Growing up it was my responsibility to take care of them - feeding, watering, walking, and cleaning up after their messes. I often looked after our neighbors' pets as well. I have experience with large and small dogs, various temperaments of cats, pets in their "baby" phase as well as older pets who need extra care and love. I am good with all breeds of dogs and cats. I like to give each pet time to get comfortable with me before entering into their space. I consider each pet I meet a new friend to bond with over play, walks, and snuggles. :) I am regularly a house cleaner who runs her own business in the local area, so this gives me the opportunity to be available to pet owners and their pet's needs. I currently care for 4 different family's pets throughout the year and have rarely come into a scheduling conflict. I like to give people the freedom they need in their life while not having to worry about their pet's needs. I do not currently have the space to care for other people's pets in my home but am willing to stay in their home overnight to accommodate their needs. I like to have the pet owners make a list of things I should know about their pets. This could be special needs, dos and don'ts, typical schedule for feeding, bedtime, etc., pet's favorite spot to lay or toy to play with. That way the pet(s) can stay closer to what they know for lower stress.

If you have crate instructions, I am comfortable doing that as well.
About: I have two boys of my own, and I’ve had both of them since they were puppies. My youngest is 7 and my oldest is 13, so I have over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs through different stages of their lives. I potty trained both of them and learned how important patience, consistency, and understanding are when raising a dog. What makes my experience unique is that I’ve learned to understand dogs beyond just their basic needs. Every dog has a different personality and their own way of communicating, and I take the time to understand what makes each one comfortable, happy, and feel cared for. I know dogs are an important part of your family, just like mine are to me. So allow me to be of service and help you and your family whenever you need it. I’ll treat your dog with the same love, patience, attention, and care that I give my own. My part-time job gives me a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m available for mornings, afternoons, and even evenings. I can work around your schedule and do my best to be there whenever you and your pup need me! In my household, pets are forever the babies of the family, no matter how old they are, how slowly they walk, or how big they may be. I care for every pet in a safe, comfortable, and loving environment, whether they’re in my home or yours. I follow your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, and a clean space. I’m happy to follow any special instructions or care needs so your pet feels relaxed and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the years. My friends and neighbors have asked me to walk them or house sit for their dogs many times. On weekends I have a lot of free time during the day and it could be very useful to be outside and interact with different dogs. A fenced yard in the back for them to have fun and for them to take care of their business. We have play toys that they love to play with.
About: I've grown up with dogs of all sizes and have hands-on experience training and caring for a wide range of breeds and temperaments. I currently have two dogs of my own, a 14 year old Pekingese and a 8 year old Husky, which has given me daily experience managing both small and large dogs with very different needs and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and active or prefers a slower pace, I'm comfortable providing safe, attentive care, exercise, and companionship. My background with dogs big and small allows me to adapt to each pet's unique routine and help them feel comfortable and well cared! My flexible schedule allows me to give your pets lots of attention, love, playtime, and exercise. I'm committed to making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way! My number one priority is making sure your pets feel comfortable and secure in their own home. I understand that every pet adjusts at their own pace, so I give them the time and space they need to build trust and feel at ease. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or quiet companionship. My goal is to provide attentive, loving care while helping them feel safe, relaxed, and happy in their familiar environment.
About: Responsible dog lover with experience caring for rescue dogs and elderly dogs! Need help with your fur-baby? I love dogs and have experiencing walking dogs, fostering shelter dogs, and house sitting. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and ages and will reinforce any behavior training you and your dog are working on. I’m organized, caring and very responsible. Looking forward to hearing from you! I am a travel PT with a love for animals but move around too much for work to have my own pets t the moment. I work outside of the home so I can accommodate morning and evening walks/potty breaks and evening cuddles! I prefer to care for your pets in your own home (house sitting and drop-ins, not boarding or day-care), as the environment is familiar and it makes everything less stressful for them. I ask for detailed instructions on any routines and schedules your dog is used to and any behaviors you want me to reinforce to make the transition as smooth as possible for your pet.

I also have 2+ years of experience working for a boarding/doggy daycare and grooming company. I regularly dog and cat sit for friends and coworkers. I am free for early morning, lunchtime, and evening walks and drop in’s! I am also available anytime on the weekends as well! I enjoy being able to split my days between work and animal care.

We received photos and/or videos every single day. Willow will stay with her any time we need her boarded. Thank you Kyah for making her week special!!”

We would definitely use Matthew again to board and care for Basil”

“Our dog came home happy and we’re so glad she got some fun and exercise while we were away! Don was flexible and very helpful when our flight was delayed and we had to change our pick up plan as well which we so appreciate!”
“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.”
“Craig and his wife were amazing hosts. I’m sure my pup loved spending time with Guinness and the family. Craig was really responsive and kept us informed everyday of my pup’s acitivity.”
“Seth took such great care of my dog Peaches. He sent updates and pictures everyday and was a great communicator. We would definitely use him again and would recommend him to anyone to watch their furry friends!”
“The best of the best! I have never been so blown away by someone like Cathy. She goes completely above and beyond with your pet because she actually cares! I will break down and cry if she ever moves away!”
“Fantastic! Lauren and Ryan cared for our dogs like they were one of their own. The dogs had so much fun they didn't want to go home. Lauren provided lots of pictures and updates every day. I liked that our dogs were able to socialize with their dogs in a big backyard. Our dogs settled right in with Lauren and Ryan after a long day of play and fun.”
“Wow Alexa and her family go above and beyond in making sure your fur baby is well taken care of, and that you are thoroughly communicated with every step of the way. Truly, she is an exceptional sitter, and Stella came home well-rested, comfortable, and anxiety free (rare for her!!!). Expectations entirely exceeded!! Thank you!!”
