“Sara is great! Our cattle dog Franklin is very nervous and timid in new situations and with people he does not know, but I can see he was getting comfortable with the photos that Sara had sent and him making new pup friends. We will be back! Thank you Sara.”

“Murphy (Cavalier King Charles) had a good day with Crystal and her pups. Crystal was very attentive to Murphy’s wellbeing. She provided photos and updates. I will use her services again”
3. Nathaly F.
“Was very pleased with Nathaly and her fur baby, Stella. Appreciated updates of photos and videos that was comforting to know Tobie was doing okay. Was also great to have another German shepherd to play with Tobie. Stella was a bonus in helping Tobie adjust. My Tobie came home tired and ready to sleep. Though Tobie still needs training, Nathaly took time to help Tobie. I would definitely request for Nathaly again. Thank you Nathaly and Stella!!!”

“Milo had a great stay with Christina! He enjoyed playing with her dogs Teddy and Bear. Christina sent lots of pictures and was so good to take him in with only a days notice. We look forward to Milo staying with her again.”
5. Alex & Amanda F.
“Alex and Amanda are great! We booked daycare for our dog Raine as a trial day before a boarding trip. They sent lots of pics and updates. Raine came home tired from playing and happy. We feel very comfortable leaving Raine with Alex and Amanda for our upcoming trip. Thanks!”
6. Gino T.
“Gino is awesome! He's incredibly reliable and our dog, Brandi, absolutely adores him. Gino goes above and beyond to ensure that Brandi is happy, healthy, and well-loved while we're away. His communication is top-notch, and we always feel at ease knowing our pup is in his capable hands. His responsiveness is unmatched and I enjoy his updates of photos and videos that he sends throughout the day.”
7. Tamaria L.
“This was my first time traveling with my puppy out of state, I came to Seattle from San Fran with my Puppy Siberian Husky! I’ve gotta be honest, I didn’t have a plan for a sitter before I got here but when my brother told me about this app, I was skeptical. I came here for work training & would be gone from 8-5pm 5 days straight so I knew I’d need this service but wasn’t sure about how to trust someone with my daughter. Late at night after I arrived to Seattle, I submitted for a few sitters. Tamaria responded so quickly to my request & made me extremely comfortable right off the bat!! She has an amazing energy, personality, & family! I didn’t rent a vehicle so I asked her if she could pick up an drop My puppy off an that was no problem!! She was on time every day & brought my puppy home to my hotel to me in amazing condition just the way I wanted her to be. She came home tired because she was playing all day, came home full, she was exhausted from so much fun! I received texted videos an photos through out the entire process. I honestly will be making sure to only book her for when I come back to Seattle. I’d highly recommend Tamaria in any way to be a care taker for anyone’s animals. It wasn’t expensive, it wasn’t annoying , I was even running late on my last day an she met me at the airport just in time so I can make my flight! I don’t know how I could get a better experience to be honest! Thanks so much Tamaria to you & your amazing family! -Collin”

10. Brandon C.
“Brandon was easy-going, very responsive and took wonderful care of my large and super-active Lab! He sent me nice photos during the day and Atlas was tired and happy when I picked him up. I'd definitely go to Brandon again when in the Seattle area.”

About: I worked in the vet field from 18-23 years old and gained lots of skills and experience. I can give medications, injections, CPR. I'm great with pets that have anxiety, PTSD, and/or dementia. I'm experienced with senior care and pets with disabilities. I'm dependable, responsible and reliable. Your pets will be given full attention and care with me. Schedule for 2024: P/U and D/O for boarding schedule (I offer $10 pick up and drop off services): 11am-8pm; $45 per night. $60 per night for puppies. Drop in availability: 9:00am-8:30pm; $20 for first pet, $8 for additional pets. $50 basic grooming package; ear cleaning, teeth brushing, anal gland expression, nail trimming, paw pad fur trimmings, bathing and drying with a report card. Drop off 8am, pick up 3-5pm. (All that needs to be provided is their toothpaste and toothbrush, and anything else you would like me to give them during their appointment.) Any basic grooming needed individually is $10. I work from home part time through out the week, so a lot of attention will be given to the pets. I take my boarders with me when I go out for drop in appointments and just have them wait in the car, then give them a nice walk after the drop in. For boarding I give daily walks and I live next to many nice trails to give dogs good exercise and I have a nice little back yard for quick potties and I keep it very clean so there's no chances of exposure to other dog feces to prevent parasites or viruses. And they will be leashed the whole time. I have 2 cats (both with flea control) so if you would like me to board I prefer a dog friendly with cats especially if they're a large breed. But the cats have their own area if need be. They keep to themselves. And the dog will be separated in my room at night. It's a very safe space and they're allowed on the bed and the couch. And I keep it very clean here. I can take 2 small-medium dogs or 1 medium-large dog at a time. I will not book two non-neutered pets from different families. Also let me know if you would prefer your pet to be boarded with no other boarders, I have no problem doing that.
12. Sourabh B.
“I trust my lil one with Sourabh any day. I am at peace knowing that she is well taken care of, loved and happy. Sourabh makes it a point to understand how she needs to be cared for and what her likes and dislikes are. She is an anxious lil puppy, but Sourabh was so patient and gentle with her. In just a couple of meetings, I could see her trusting him. Now, she is extremely fond of Sourabh. I am soo happy to recommend Sourabh as a caregiver on Rover! You can leave your pets with Sourabh with complete confidence!”

“Michelle is the best! She takes such amazing care of our energetic girl on both single day visits and boarding adventures. We are so thankful we found Michelle!”
18. Rikke C.
“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!!”
19. Myrna S.
“Myrna loves dogs! I wholeheartedly recommend Myrna as a dog walker and dog sitter. Myrna has gained a lot of experience volunteering as a dog walker with WAMAL (Washington Alaskan Malamute Adoption League). Walking and training large, stubborn rescued Alaskan Malamutes is no small feat! Myrna ended up falling in love with huskies and malamutes, and decided she wanted to adopt a rescue. Her landlord didn’t allow pets, so Myrna saved up and bought a house just so she could adopt a dog. Well, she ended up adopting three! Myrna is very responsible, and is a great dog mom. Her dogs are very well cared for and well socialized. They get along with dogs of any size. Your dog will have a lot of fun with Myrna and her brood!”
20. Eli C.
“I couldn't be more happy than with Eli. He came highly recommended by a friend. My dog loves him. Eli is reliable and dependable. Very friendly.”
