“Excellent. Niko returned to us in a great mood. Erin provided pictures of Niko every night, along with an update, and responded to any questions I had super quickly.”
“I think this will be the easiest 5 star review I’ve ever written. Scott took incredible care of our dog, Tucker. He kept him for several days while we were out of town visiting family. Scott made sure to set up a time for us to visit him and his partner, Kevin, at their home and give Tucker a chance to meet their sweet boy, Nico. They became instant play buddies. Scott asked very detailed questions about Tucker’s habits and tendencies and made sure to write down every detail. Within just a few minutes, we knew we had found the right people to care for our boy. Scott sent us pics and videos throughout our time away. We will definitely be using his services again.”
“Our pup got a vacation too! Mandy has extensive experience with a variety of animals and is one of those innately dog savvy people. As a worrier when pet care is needed, this really eased my mind. I knew Rocket would not just be be safe and comfortable with her but she would maintain the training and home routines already in place. Winlock may not be conveniently located for many but she is definitely worth the drive. This ‘leash optional’ country place gives dogs a safe haven to romp and play to their hearts content under her watchful eye. Rocket had so much fun on his doggy vacay with Mandy I could not be happier. As you would expect from a top notch sitter, it was an excellent experience in every way. I am so grateful to find someone like Mandy, it removes the worry of having to leave our pup when traveling. Thank you, Mandy, for taking such good care of our boy!”
“People say they love animals, but not everyone truly does! I believe Kimberly truly loves animals. I feel she treated my puppies like they were hers. I am fairly new to leaving my girls with a sitter, Kimberly put my mind at ease. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will have Kimberly watch Thelma and Louise anytime I need a sitter again.”
“Kevin was great in keeping me updated on my Harley dog. In the videos & pictures he would send I could tell she was having a great visit. She bonded with Kevin's dog and they ran & ran playing well together! No problem in thinking about using Kevin again.”

“Holly was a great sitter and trainer! She was very attentive and patient, inviting us over for a meet & greet beforehand and making sure it was a good fit for my dog. He felt very comfortable with her immediately and she asked lots of questions about his care. Holly was very flexible with drop off & pick up times, and went above and beyond to send updates, pictures, and videos throughout my dog's stay. It was a great environment for my dog in particular since he loves playing and interacting with other dogs, and she did an amazing job leash training him during his stay. He was very active while there, going on walks and running around with other pups, and seemed very happy and healthy when I picked him up! I would highly recommend Holly to anyone!”
“We left Josie for the first time with Rebecca. She kept in touch with us and even sent us pictures during her stay. I would use her again for pet sitting. Thank you Rebecca!!”
“My dog Charlie had a great extended weekend with Kelly and her family while I was away. He bonded with her kids and their dog and had a lot of fun. He came home happy and tired. She sent great updates and photos too. Will definitely go back to them.”
“Kristi's home was a GREAT match for our dog, Ollie! It was clear that he was treated like family, and had tons of love and attention from the whole family. I'm so glad to have found a loving home-away-from-home for him. Ollie is booked to stay with Kristi again next month... it's SUCH a relief to know he'll be in good hands, having his own vacation while we have ours!”
“Hattie seemed to enjoy her stay and we received lots of pictures and updates. She was treated like family and we are so grateful. Will definitely be on our list of approved dog sitters!”
“Cynthia was absolutely amazing with Eddie! She was very communicative and made me feel very at ease with the drop off and pick ups. I recommend her for boarding and I'll be booking again I'm the future!”
“Kat is fantastic! Regular updates for our pup, lots and lots of playtime. The sprinklers came out on hot days. It was like summer camp. Her care made us feel very relaxed about leaving our puppy with her. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Cara and Jose are awesome, Julie my pug enjoys visiting and playing with their Pug Sophie. They have watched Julie on multiple occasions and I appreciate the warm family environment while I am away. 5 Stars!!!!”
“Alexis does a fantastic job of taking care of our Abbey. Walks, treats and fun! We can have a wonderful trip without having to worry about our sweet girl while she is with Alexis.”
About: I am new to Rover, but have worked in the Animal Health Industry as a Veterinarian Technician (animal nurse) and outside sales/customer service for the past 30+ years. Along with the background check Rover provides, I also have a Business License and I am Insured/Bonded. Animal care is my only business/job and I am semi-retired. I have experience with most animals from reptiles to cattle and currently have a little 5 acre hobby farm with a horse, goats, chickens, dog and cat. I am very flexible with days you need pet care. My days are filled with animal care of my own/yours, walking/hiking, gardening and home/property projects. Your pets will be treated with great care while spending time with me. I have a gated 5 acre hobby farm with 1/2 acre fully fenced area around my home. My farm animals are fenced in separately for safety. I also have 3 acres of wooded trails/not fenced for leash walking. I am able to provide care and exercise depending on your pets needs and will only accept dogs that are not aggressive towards people or other dogs for a positive/fun experience. I have giant wire crates/bedding for night sleeping and can take up to 3 dogs. I would prefer same family, but may be some overlap with scheduling. Otherwise they will be spending time with me in my home and on my property. There are two large porches for either sunning or shade. I also have air conditioning. Please be up to date on vaccinations (including kennel cough), worming and monthly flea control. I live in a quiet/peaceful valley. Please no excessive barkers and bring their food, treats and special toys. If you have a well trained dog that would be happy sleeping in a dog bed at night, I can be accommodating. Must have been crate trained at some point in their life. Waking up in the am to an intact couch is nice! 😊 Please allow enough time for a 1st time meet and greet prior to finalizing the booking. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family!
“Emily and her family are super amazing. My dogs were there for a couple of hours to see if it would work out for a longer stay. When we got back my dogs were super relaxed and seemed to have enjoyed their time. We will definitely return to their happy friendly home.”

“Rebecca is the best sitter my pets have ever had. Her communication and care was excellent. I really enjoyed getting photos and updates everyday. I will definitely use her again”
“Angela graciously accepted our last-minute boarding request for our cat and was incredibly accommodating, even when our we were delayed due to traffic and weather. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease—she is warm, caring, and clearly loves animals. She thoughtfully kept our cat separate from her dogs, which we really appreciated. Throughout the stay, our cat seemed comfortable, relaxed, and happy. Angela provided timely updates and was always quick to respond to our questions. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Felicia was great to work with! She was flexible with my schedule changes and extremely accommodating and caring for our dog we just adopted from a rescue. I will definitely have her come check in on our pets again. I enjoy getting the pictures and updates from her.”
“Scott did a great job caring for my cat Smokey while I was away. Smokey can be slow to warm up to people, but he opened up to Scott quickly and was playful and talkative. Smokey had a little digestive upset the day before I was leaving on my trip, so Scott took care to send me details on his eating & litter box findings so I could stay updated which helped me relax! Scott is kind, caring and paid attention to the details. Things were tidy when I got home and Smokey was relaxed and happy. Will definitely book Scott again in the future!”

Their happiness and well-being inspire me to provide them with the best care possible. My availability is very open and flexible, 7 days a week.

“Erin was great. She communicated well throughout the entire stay, sent photos, and made sure we knew that Nox was okay. Nox also got to interact with other pets which seems to have done wonders: He’s back home and super chill. We’re so thankful for the time he spent time at Erin’s!”
“Ericka was wonderful! She had great communication and did an excellent job of making sure our cats were okay while we were away. She even went out of her way to check on our bearded dragon. We highly recommend her for any pet sitting services you need.”

Our thanks to Scott, and we will look forward to using him again in the future.”

About: I have had every kind of pet imaginable, dogs , cats, reptiles, birds. I have all sorts of experience in giving meds, diets or babysitting for friends and family. I work from home, I jump at the chance to babysit or care for anyone’s animals while they are out of town. I have pets of my own, it doesn’t take much time for even pets that have anxieties to warm up to me. I have a fenced portion of the property, for potty breaks, also while pets are inside I can have them up on the couches taking naps, watching movies, training or teaching pets. It depends on what the pet parents would like. And what makes the pets feel more at home.

About: Military Veteran | Lifelong Animal Lover Hello! My name is Kortni, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Since the age of 8, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals—from horses and livestock to dogs, cats, and even fish. My experience comes from both personal ownership and working alongside professional trainers, always with the goal of providing well-rounded, compassionate care. During my time in the military, I was fortunate to have a few incredible opportunities to work with military working dogs—an experience that deepened my respect for animal intelligence, discipline, and emotional needs. Now that I’ve recently transitioned out of the military, I’m taking time to reconnect with the things I love most: animals, nature, and a slower pace of life. That also means I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to your pet’s unique needs—whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, playtime, or sticking to a specific routine. This is my passion, and what I do for work. I currently have an 8-year-old Australian Shepherd at home who’s the biggest spoiled lap dog you’ll ever meet. I understand how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every animal in my care like one of my own—with love, patience, and attention to detail. Special diet? Specific routine? Just let me know—I’m happy to accommodate. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for while you're away. You can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet!

“Jules was in charge of walking my 3 dogs while i was out of town. She was reliable and upfront. She sent pictures and updates while I was out of town. I have a rescue that is extremely scared of new people, Jules was petting her and able to interact with her from the start. I will use Jules anytime I need someone to watch my dogs. Love her”
About: I have had over 15 years of small and large dog experience. I have worked in kennels so I have experience with handling several temperament types. Safe and compassionate Care is my number one concern! I'm currently going to school to finish my bachelors in science of nursing part-time online so I am home the majority of the week. I can provide around the clock care. I have a fenced backyard that attaches to my house and a large carport area that is covered. The yard is clean and grass is cut short. Everything is secure and checked regularly. I have three extremely dog friendly long hair Dachshunds.
About: I've taken care of all types of animals since I was a small child. I've always had a dog/dogs. More recently have developed a love for cats as well! I've often been in charge of house-sitting for family to take care of their pets when they're out of town or just stopping in to feed them and let them out. I am currently working 3 days a week while I finish my Software Engineering degree so I'm available all Wednesdays/Fridays/Saturdays/Sundays. I also live right by an excellent dog walking area along the river. I live at the end of a pretty secluded driveway with a dog who loves meeting new friends! I can also provide a crate as a safe quiet space if needed.
About: I've had my own dogs & cared for neighborhood pets since I was a child. I love to cook, and enjoy making healthy treats from a veterinarian's own cookbook for healthy dog recipes. My preferred veterinarian is Mercy Vet on Mercer Island because of their holistic approach to veterinary care. If you do not have a veterinarian, this is who I would go to in the event of an emergency. I'm gentle and soft spoken but also firm when I need to be. I'm able to administer medication if your dog is on meds. I'm good with puppies or seniors, and everything in between! When I'm with your four legged family member you can rest assured that they are well taken care of and are not bored. There is no breed I won't take, as long as they are not a safety concern. I am dedicated 100% to my canine clients. Walking, playing and cooking for them is what I do! I consider this my calling, my passion and my career. When I have canine guests, We walk four times a day. I have toys galore and dog brushes if they like being brushed. I prepare home cooked meals, unless they are on a specific type of food or diet. I administer oral meds when necessary. All sofa and dog bed covers are laundered weekly at a minimum, and/or after each guest goes home. I will update you daily with photos and video of your pup's day.

“Excellent. Niko returned to us in a great mood. Erin provided pictures of Niko every night, along with an update, and responded to any questions I had super quickly.”
“I think this will be the easiest 5 star review I’ve ever written. Scott took incredible care of our dog, Tucker. He kept him for several days while we were out of town visiting family. Scott made sure to set up a time for us to visit him and his partner, Kevin, at their home and give Tucker a chance to meet their sweet boy, Nico. They became instant play buddies. Scott asked very detailed questions about Tucker’s habits and tendencies and made sure to write down every detail. Within just a few minutes, we knew we had found the right people to care for our boy. Scott sent us pics and videos throughout our time away. We will definitely be using his services again.”
“Our pup got a vacation too! Mandy has extensive experience with a variety of animals and is one of those innately dog savvy people. As a worrier when pet care is needed, this really eased my mind. I knew Rocket would not just be be safe and comfortable with her but she would maintain the training and home routines already in place. Winlock may not be conveniently located for many but she is definitely worth the drive. This ‘leash optional’ country place gives dogs a safe haven to romp and play to their hearts content under her watchful eye. Rocket had so much fun on his doggy vacay with Mandy I could not be happier. As you would expect from a top notch sitter, it was an excellent experience in every way. I am so grateful to find someone like Mandy, it removes the worry of having to leave our pup when traveling. Thank you, Mandy, for taking such good care of our boy!”
“People say they love animals, but not everyone truly does! I believe Kimberly truly loves animals. I feel she treated my puppies like they were hers. I am fairly new to leaving my girls with a sitter, Kimberly put my mind at ease. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will have Kimberly watch Thelma and Louise anytime I need a sitter again.”
“Kevin was great in keeping me updated on my Harley dog. In the videos & pictures he would send I could tell she was having a great visit. She bonded with Kevin's dog and they ran & ran playing well together! No problem in thinking about using Kevin again.”

“Holly was a great sitter and trainer! She was very attentive and patient, inviting us over for a meet & greet beforehand and making sure it was a good fit for my dog. He felt very comfortable with her immediately and she asked lots of questions about his care. Holly was very flexible with drop off & pick up times, and went above and beyond to send updates, pictures, and videos throughout my dog's stay. It was a great environment for my dog in particular since he loves playing and interacting with other dogs, and she did an amazing job leash training him during his stay. He was very active while there, going on walks and running around with other pups, and seemed very happy and healthy when I picked him up! I would highly recommend Holly to anyone!”
“We left Josie for the first time with Rebecca. She kept in touch with us and even sent us pictures during her stay. I would use her again for pet sitting. Thank you Rebecca!!”
“My dog Charlie had a great extended weekend with Kelly and her family while I was away. He bonded with her kids and their dog and had a lot of fun. He came home happy and tired. She sent great updates and photos too. Will definitely go back to them.”
“Kristi's home was a GREAT match for our dog, Ollie! It was clear that he was treated like family, and had tons of love and attention from the whole family. I'm so glad to have found a loving home-away-from-home for him. Ollie is booked to stay with Kristi again next month... it's SUCH a relief to know he'll be in good hands, having his own vacation while we have ours!”
“Hattie seemed to enjoy her stay and we received lots of pictures and updates. She was treated like family and we are so grateful. Will definitely be on our list of approved dog sitters!”
“Cynthia was absolutely amazing with Eddie! She was very communicative and made me feel very at ease with the drop off and pick ups. I recommend her for boarding and I'll be booking again I'm the future!”
“Kat is fantastic! Regular updates for our pup, lots and lots of playtime. The sprinklers came out on hot days. It was like summer camp. Her care made us feel very relaxed about leaving our puppy with her. We will definitely be using her again.”
About: I am new to Rover, but have worked in the Animal Health Industry as a Veterinarian Technician (animal nurse) and outside sales/customer service for the past 30+ years. Along with the background check Rover provides, I also have a Business License and I am Insured/Bonded. Animal care is my only business/job and I am semi-retired. I have experience with most animals from reptiles to cattle and currently have a little 5 acre hobby farm with a horse, goats, chickens, dog and cat. I am very flexible with days you need pet care. My days are filled with animal care of my own/yours, walking/hiking, gardening and home/property projects. Your pets will be treated with great care while spending time with me. I have a gated 5 acre hobby farm with 1/2 acre fully fenced area around my home. My farm animals are fenced in separately for safety. I also have 3 acres of wooded trails/not fenced for leash walking. I am able to provide care and exercise depending on your pets needs and will only accept dogs that are not aggressive towards people or other dogs for a positive/fun experience. I have giant wire crates/bedding for night sleeping and can take up to 3 dogs. I would prefer same family, but may be some overlap with scheduling. Otherwise they will be spending time with me in my home and on my property. There are two large porches for either sunning or shade. I also have air conditioning. Please be up to date on vaccinations (including kennel cough), worming and monthly flea control. I live in a quiet/peaceful valley. Please no excessive barkers and bring their food, treats and special toys. If you have a well trained dog that would be happy sleeping in a dog bed at night, I can be accommodating. Must have been crate trained at some point in their life. Waking up in the am to an intact couch is nice! 😊 Please allow enough time for a 1st time meet and greet prior to finalizing the booking. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family!
“Emily and her family are super amazing. My dogs were there for a couple of hours to see if it would work out for a longer stay. When we got back my dogs were super relaxed and seemed to have enjoyed their time. We will definitely return to their happy friendly home.”
About: I was raised around animals my entire life. When I was around 12 years old I started actively studying dogs in my free time. I have never met a dog that I couldn’t handle. I love them all no matter the size and the behavior. I am still currently studying them as you can never learn too much. Any dog that comes into my home will be treated as family. We are willing to watch your pups during the day or overnight for as many days as you need. You can even come over and check out our house, yard and talk with my husband and I before agreeing to have your dogs here. We want you to feel good about having them here and know that they are in good hands. I currently work from home so I can spend most of my day catering to your dogs needs and making sure they feel comfortable in the environment. I have a small fenced in portion of my yard for your dogs to run around in. I can take them for walks, work on their training, and they can play with my dogs.
