We have had her and her employees watch our cats for the last 11 years. We can go on a relaxing vacation worry free knowing our fuzzy babies and house are in good hands. Michelle, aka Nanny Dolittle, is kind, friendly and professional. She is especially loving to our cats. It is clear upon our return that they have been well loved and cared for during our absence. On occasion she would walk our dog when we were gone for the day skiing. We also felt comfortable with the care she took with medical emergencies and the decisions she made in those events. We love the daily log that shows who came to visit and how the cats were doing. We also like that she sends photos via text to show they are happy. We would highly recommend her for your pet's needs!

My wife and I was looking for someone to take care of our 2 kids, a Siberian Husky and a Maltese, and have them join us for our wedding ceremony and Shelby from Keeping Up with Jack was the ONLY person who was willing to do that. We met Shelby to discuss the general flow, what we wanted and how she could help us. She also attended our wedding rehearsal to get to know the venue. I could thank Shelby enough for doing this for us because being able to have our 2 dogs joining us on our wedding day was simply priceless! While we were trying to take photos with our dogs after the ceremony, they were distracted by all the people around them and were not looking at the camera. Shelby improvised and got them to pay attention to her while she was standing behind our photographer. That got us some wonderful shots with our 2 dogs. If you want a responsible, caring, trustworthy person to take care of your dogs you should definitely go with Shelby!

I am very particular about who I leave my dogs with and Michelle did an amazing job ensuring they were well cared for as if they were her own.

Thank you, Michelle for giving me peace of mind while I was away. If you want to be at ease, knowing that your dogs are in good hands - Michelle is your person! I will definitely be using your services again in the future!

We've been working with Erica for almost a year now, and our dog walking experience has been spectacular. She's transparent, reliable, professional, communicative, and trustworthy. Our pug, Killah is a senior gal (she sometimes has accidents, and her back legs don't work as well as they used to), but Erica always takes excellent care of her. Also, she takes the best pictures, and the gives most detailed status reports I've ever seen from a dog walker. Like paragraphs long (jk). I feel like we were there on the walk with them with the level of detail she provides her in her reports! We don't know what we would do without her. Erica - we love you and thank you for being YOU and helping our little old lady stay healthy and happy.

Steve and his team of trainers at Nitro K9 are the real deal. Both our young dogs have benefited…read morefrom Nitro's level 1 and 2 classes, and so it's very easy to recommend Nitro if you're looking for a trainer. It is worth acknowledging that Nitro makes use of prong and e-collars in their training method, and if you have concerns about these tools, I am happy to report there's nothing to be concerned about. I have witnessed my dog gaze up lovingly and with attention at Steve while under his guidance on a prong collar; you could feel the genuine connection between trainer and dog. This kind of experience was enough for me to put any concerns I had aside and welcome the training. It's also worth noting that Steve himself can be a bit of a personality, unafraid to speak his mind and get into a range of discussion topics. Underneath the personality is a genuine human, who wants nothing more than for dogs to receive the training that will most help them get along inside the home and the world. Thanks, Steve and Nitro K9 for your help with our dogs!

After suddenly losing one of our dogs in October 2025, our 10 yo Doberman was so heartbroken. He…read morebecame critically ill, resulting in over $5,000 in emergency vet bills and little improvement. We swore to no more dogs but then we saw Mia, a 9-month-old, Doberman puppy found on the street in LA by animal control. Her leg was degloved, necrotic and filled with maggots. She was intercepted by a rehab, received amputation and much needed medical attention. We followed her story for a couple months, hoping she would find a home, but she didn't. Somehow, we caved, did the unthinkable and flew to Los Angeles, scooping her up and driving her back to Washington in a rental car mid-winter. She was terrified, ferrell and full of dominant "spicy" energy so we booked an appointment with one of the top positive-treat-based trainers with reactive-dog expertise in the state, to help us introduce our dogs upon return and it was a disaster. Our senior exploded in pure terror, barking and lunging. She tossed treats; they ignored her. Twenty minutes in she shrugged, said she had "no magic wand," sent us home and refunded half our session. 2 days later she emailed us suggesting we rehome Mia to a foster "for our safety" which felt like a slap in the face. The very next day we thoroughly researched every trainer in Washington, and Nitro K-9 stood head and shoulders above the rest. I emailed Steve and he called back within minutes with genuine understanding, zero judgment, got us in within days and made our 2-hour commute in separate cars well worth it. In the first ten minutes Steve had both dogs calmly obeying, walking together on leash, and listening! He instantly saw what the other trainer missed: our senior was fear-reactive, meaning he was scared. Steve and North have taught us clear communication and connection with our dogs. They've taught us how to properly command quick correction and full attention using high-quality prong collars, like a mother dog's natural nips. No pain, no fear, no endless treats or bribes, just genuine praise, affection, and connection, the way real bonds and parenting work. He showed us how to step into calm leadership so our dogs could relax, trust, and stop carrying the burden themselves. He stayed by our side through every panicked text, every "what now?" and our dog's transformation is nothing short of miraculous. Mia is happy, confident and loves her big brother now. Our senior knows his role and is playing with her like a puppy again. They love each other and actually enjoy being together! If you're a reactive, rescue, fearful or high-drive dog parent, have been let down by "treat-motivated training" and have avoided prong collars because of the myths, you have been misinformed like we were. Don't give up, stop scrolling and call Nitro, I promise you won't regret it! IWe are forever grateful!

It can be a gamble when giving someone access to your home. Asking that person to take care of your family (pets) brings it up a notch. Carrie immediately won my parents over (not an easy feat) with her bubbly personality and clear passion for animals. We use Carrie's services when my parents travel. I am the go-to overnight pet-sitter for them but due to my long, unpredictable work hours, Carrie will come over 1-2 times daily to walk and feed Sadie. Carrie does not charge extra when my dog Bentley is there and takes him along on walks. Each visit Carrie leaves an adorable note on the counter with a recap. My parents dog (Sadie) is extremely fearful due to an abusive past owner. Carrie has won her over with patience and treats. This note is one of my favorites from Carrie: Sadie did excellent on our walks!! She and Bentley were so happy to see me each time I came. In fact, they never even barked at me (Not even on my first visit). We had a few beautiful sunny days which the dogs loved. Twice we went to the park. It was such a pleasure walking Sadie (and Bentley). The three of us became good pals. She is a great dog! I hope you had a nice trip and I hope to see Sadie again soon. :) Thanks, Carrie I strongly recommend Carrie/Feline Friends & Dog Walk Savvy for your pets. Nothing but the best!

After we left, they sent us photos and text messages multiple times a day with details about their activities with our pets. 4 days into the vacation, we started hearing from worried neighbors who heard our dog howling in apparent distress.

Piles of dog poo all over the house So much pee he had to remove our bedroom rug from the house completely Damage to windows from dog scratching to get out Dog's voice is hoarse, and she is very fearful We called Caroline and she claimed to be on her way back to our house. We told her about the conditions our friend had described and asked her to drop off the keys. Then she changes her story a bunch of times (she is at a nearby client's house; no, actually she's at home in Bothell) and ultimately says she can't get to our house that evening at all and will mail the keys. The exchange that followed included: Indignance: "How dare you accuse me!" Lying: "your dog has been going crazy and peeing on the floor for days!" (and you didn't think to mention that in your daily messages..?) Weird rambling emails, including a late night warning about a glitch in airline reservation systems A call to us from the Rover.com emergency line because Caroline had contacted them saying she was very worried about whether anyone was caring for our pets since we had fired her (thanks for your concern I guess??) She promised to mail back the two keys we provided but only sent 1, so we had to change the locks in addition to repairing damage to our home.
