“Best day care ever! My dog always has the best time and comes home happy and tired. She absolutely loves playing with the other dogs, and especially enjoys spending time with Lans—his favorite human after me ! Thank you for giving bella a safe, fun, and loving place to play!”

“Yixin and family took great care of our dog with last minute notice! Was very communicative pre- and post-booking to address logistics and final details about the visit. Extremely friendly upon drop off and pickup. Provided nice updates and pics. Our girl had so much fun with her dog, Rose, and the other dogs boarding. I think she partied more than we did for our night on the town! She came home pooped! Thank you, Yixin and family! You have our highest recommendation and will definitely book again.”

“Francena is a loving, caring, and knowledgeable provider! She treats my senior Bichon like her own. She took prompt care of him when he was anxious (which he always is now that he is senior). She kept me posted and was very patient with his senior habits! She really knows dogs with all her experience in showing, breeding, grooming, and vet industries. I'm so happy to have found her!❤️”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to Luna, my sweet 7-year-old Labradoodle. Before Luna, I had two Golden Retrievers in my 20s—so I’ve been surrounded by wagging tails and furry companionship most of my adult life. I work from home, which means I’m around for plenty of walks, belly rubs, and one-on-one attention. Whether it’s a casual stroll or some active playtime, I truly enjoy caring for dogs and making sure they feel loved, safe, and at home. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I work from home, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Walks are built into my schedule (they’re just as good for me as they are for the dogs!), and I love starting and ending the day with some fresh air and tail wags. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, cuddles, or bathroom breaks, I’m home and available to make sure your pet feels safe, seen, and well cared for. Please note: My condo HOA has breed restrictions in place, so I’m unable to host certain types of dogs. If you’re unsure whether your pup fits within those guidelines, feel free to reach out—I'm happy to chat and help clarify. I’m also happy to care for two dogs from the same household, as long as they’re well-socialized and comfortable in a home environment. My priority is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. At my home, pets get plenty of supervised attention throughout the day, regular potty breaks, and playtime—with cozy spots to relax and my friendly Labradoodle Luna as a companion (if they’re okay with other dogs).I always aim to stick to your pet’s usual routine to keep them stress-free.

“Took great care of my dog, responds on time and came in clutch with last minute reservation and very nice, would definitely recommend. 5/5 (:”

About: Thank you for considering me. $20 discount for 1st time Rover clients! Please ask me for the promo code before booking with me. I have taken care of rescue and shelter dogs for the past 5 years. I have fostered many dogs with my wife and helped them find forever homes. Enjoy your trip and holiday while your fur baby enjoys a staycation with us. You will never be charged for a late checkout if flight is delayed or due to any other reason. I watch your pup closely through out the day and will send pics/videos to keep you updated. I have a fenced yard. I prefer a meet and greet session with my dog before finalizing the booking so that your pup gets familiar with me and my dog. I consider dogs as family and take care of them as my own. They are not allowed on sofa and beds and inside the kitchen. I walk the dogs twice a day with yard time at regular intervals depending on the weather. We avoid dog parks for our rover dogs. The daily hygiene routine of the dogs includes cleaning of eyes, paws, sanitary areas. If at any time, your pup gets sick, I will notify you and also connect with Rover vet. I can provide the pup with rice and boiled chicken in case of upset tummy. I can provide medication to your pup as and when required. Please make sure the meds are marked and labeled. I can provide with crate, blanket, bowls if necessary. I recommend providing big water bowls for larger dogs as I only small ones. Let me know about the commands or tricks your dog understands and the boundaries practiced at home so that we can do the same. My wife and I are currently working from home full-time. I will be attending to the dog full time and will be available to take for walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I have a fenced yard with outdoor camera. We have two fur babies currently staying with us now. We have crates to crate train the pup. On walks, the pup will always be on a harness with a leash.

About: I’ve had multiple dogs in my lifetime, and also dog-sit occasional at their home. I don’t believe in rushing animals, nor do I want to take care of more than two at a time. I want each animal to have enough attention to build trust between us. I am currently working part time, primarily remote, and enjoy being out in my yard. The floor plan is pretty open, but can be gated if necessary. I have a house situated in a small neighbourhood with minimal through traffic. I am comfortable with crate trained pups, as well as free roaming. I have two indoor/outdoor cats that have some exposure to dogs.

“Brandon did so great with Harlan!!! And was able to help us with our last minute booking. Very communicative! And loved Harlan like one of Brandon's own pups. Thanks so much!! Would definitely book again!”

“Enzo had a wonderful day with Han. Everything went smoothly with drop off and pick up and Han was professional throughout the process. She took amazing care of our pup and we will definitely book with her again in the future! Thank you so much, Han! :)”

“I am very impressed with Gino! The kindness and caring he showed to Gridley is wonderful but I also appreciate that he listened to what I needed specifically for Gridley. I'll be the first to admit I'm picky! Gino had no problem with my requests. You can tell Gino puts a lot of thought into caring for dogs. He has a great system for walking them, emphasizes their safety, researches the breeds of his clients. Definitely above and beyond. I highly recommend him and look forward to having him care for Gridley again.”

“Jennifer was a lifesaver. My regular pet sitter cancelled on me last minute a couple hours before I was scheduled to be at work. I had to scramble to find another pet sitter on Rover. Jennifer responded quickly and was so accommodating. She had a scheduled doctor appointment that she went to early so she could take care of my dog. She even offered to pick up my dog for me to save me a trip since her house was in the opposite direction of where I work. It was stressful having to find a sitter for my dog last minute but Jennifer took great care of my dog. She sent photo updates and messages throughout the day letting me know how my fur baby was doing. I would 100% recommend Jennifer's services to anyone looking for an accommodating and caring pet sitter”

“I’m a repeat client of Chuk’s and couldn’t be happier with the care she provides for my senior dog. She’s incredibly kind, communicative, and always goes out of her way to make sure my dog is comfortable and well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing my pup is in such good hands. Chuk is also very accommodating and easy to work with. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter!”

About: We had our first crazy dog for 11 years. We've had our current old dog for one year, and have learned to guide him around through his failing eyesight. We will have the support and advice of one family member who has been petsitting for six years. I stay at home full-time. There are usually two to four people at home at any time. Our own dog is never alone. I am available for boarding any time, and having another dog or two occasionally will be a treat for all of us. We have a yard, but no fence, so we always use leashes when going outside. We have stairs that dogs will need to navigate. The light in the staircase is always on. We have an older dog of our own who cannot see well but loves other people and other dogs. He especially likes little dogs, but occasionally objects if they get too close too fast because he cannot see them coming. We have experience giving pills, eye drops, and ear drops.

“Great sitter!”

“Absolutely wonderful experience for our old girl! She went deaf this past 6 months so she gets anxiety attacks but Rikke had her settled and snoozing in no time. We went to visit my nephew at the WAMU when their band played and couldn’t be more grateful and appreciative of the texts photos and care. Thank you Best Westies!! And ZahZah enjoyed her treat you packed in her bag today :-) You’re truly the BEST!!”

“Kimee is just the best!! She's been a reliable go-to sitter for me and my fiancé for multiple stays now. Her flexibility and willingness to help out especially stands out. Sometimes we procrastinate getting everything in order with our pets before travel, but Kimee jumps at the chance to care for our rambunctious chocolate lab pup. Our fur baby completed her first boarding stay with Kimee and her two little dogs, and it sounds like they had a fantastic sleepover party. Thank you Kimee for always having our back whenever you're available. Us and Zulu are big fans!!”

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life! Growing up, I had dogs both big and small, as well as cats. Now I have a dog (June) and a cat (George) of my own. They are the loves of my life! I have experience with puppies and seniors, as well as administering medication to dogs and cats. I’ll treat your pet as if it were my own! I am currently in school, and it is self-paced, so my schedule is quite flexible! I can provide pet care basically any time, and adjust my school schedule accordingly. If I am caring for a pet in a client’s home, I will be sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, it is important that they are comfortable with cats and other dogs. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space to play!
