“Nadiia continues to be just a stellar sitter for our 2 year old cat. She has learned her wants and needs and she is so attentive to her. She writes these amazing daily summaries which capture the personality of our Jinx so well and the photos she takes are adorable. Nadiia is punctual, great communicator, so flexible, and really makes us feel comfortable and confident. I cannot strongly recommend Nadiia more. She is amazong!”


“Rachael was amazing! She dropped by every day while I was on vacation to feed and play with my dogs, Pickles and Tater Tot. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and I could tell my pups were happy and well cared for. It gave me total peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend Rachael—she’s reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals!”


“Amanda has been so great - especially during a high-stress week where we needed to ensure puppy still got the attention she deserves. Amanda has helped reinforced positive training (including helping our pup master "sit"!)”



“Kelly is reliable and so easy to work with. We love having someone we can count on to check on our kitties while we are away. Thank you Kelly!”


“Thanks for taking great care of Rudy and Edie! They were calm and happy when we returned. Peace of mind in knowing we have someone kind who likes cats caring for them is priceless.”

“Honestly I didn’t even think about my animals because I knew they were in good hands.”


“Sydney was absolutely amazing!! She was extremely communicative and punctual. I will absolutely stick with her when I go out of town again, she took care of our cats very well and made sure they were fed and everything was clean, she also took the cutest pictures which I truly appreciated.”


“Katie did a great job taking care of our two kitties while my partner and I were away for a long weekend. She sent lots of pictures and wrote detailed messages, which I really appreciate. Definitely recommend Katie if you're looking for a cat sitter.”



“Grace was wonderful with my dog Blake. He clearly had a great time with her and really liked her. She kept me updated the whole time I was away and sent me wonderful pictures. My dog has some anxiety issues and he seemed to be completely at ease with her. I highly recommend her. Thanks Grace!”


“Hilari was able to help me on short notice and took great care of my cat while I was away. She was very patient and was even able to administer my cat’s asthma inhaler! I appreciated seeing the pictures and getting updates on how my kitty was doing everyday — it really allowed me to enjoy my time away fully knowing Hilari was here for Qilin.”


“Sydni is great with my Riley girl!! Riley is always happy to see Sydni and I get plenty of great updates about how she’s doing and if there are any concerns. Sydni is very communicative and thoughtful during all of her visits.”


“This is my second time booking with Meredith and I’m so grateful to have such a great sitter close by. My cats were definitely more comfortable this time and I felt relaxed knowing that they were well taken care of. I always love the rover cards but Meredith’s “action shots” are especially nice. I love knowing that my fur babies are having a fun time. Will definitely rebook in the future!”


“I had someone to watch my cat, but canceled last minute, so I had to find someone to watch him quickly! I found Lauren and she was super responsive and was able to watch my baby for me. I got daily pics and updates on how things were going! I felt super comfortable having Lauren watch my cat for me while I was away. Thank you again!”


“Our 1 year old cat LOVES Sara! We have had Sara come to cat sit for the last two trips we have taken and she is wonderful with our fur baby. She is so kind and respectful and definitely loves her job. She will always be the first one we ask to cat sit!”


“So thoughtful and thorough. The kitties loved Jen and were super happy when she visited.”


“Anthea did a drop in visit while we took a long day trip. She walked the dog, fed both the dog and cat, and hung out with them for a bit. We appreciated the pictures and the details of the visit. You can tell Anthea really cares about animals and enjoys their company. I definitely recommend her!”


About: My family has had many dogs growing up. My current dog is pretty reactive to other dogs so I have learned a lot about handling a dog with behavior issues and feel comfortable walking other dogs with reactivity issues. Looking to spend my down time entertaining your pets. Happy to help feed, walk, and play with them! I am new to the West Seattle are and am looking to get out and meet all the pets! I will treat your pet like my own. I have my own dog who is reactive. So I am equip to deal with a variety of animal behaviors. I will always keep their safety number one.

About: I have had a dog in my life since I was born. When I turned 5 my parents started me and my dog at the time in obedience classes. I have a lot of experience teaching dogs new tricks and obedience skills. Along with a huge love for animals. My dog passed in March of 2024 at the age of 15 so I have experience with dogs in all stages of their lives. Before boarding please make sure your pup is on flea medicine, I recommend Advantix II, I do live by the beach and Schmidt Creek Park where I walk them regularly so there's a possibility for fleas. This is my full time profession. I live on Alki Beach so there are all sorts of nice places for me to walk your dog(s) or even let them take a swim. I have a fenced in yard, there's Alki Beach 300' from my building, and two nice parks nearby for me to walk them. Your furry friend will get lots of attention, cuddles, naps, and playing, zoomies are also encouraged here.

About: Dedicated dog lover - whether your furry companion is a playful youngster or a distinguished senior, they'll receive my full care and attention during their stay. Currently, we have no dogs, so your pup will receive plenty of one-on-one time. Our home provides a warm, comfortable environment where your dog can relax and feel safe while you're away. All guests must be potty trained. I look forward to meeting your canine companion and making their stay a tail-wagging experience they'll love! I work part-time from home, and will be available for dog walks, belly rubs and backyard excursions throughout the day. My flexible schedule ensures your pup will get plenty of exercise, affection, and outdoor time while in my care. I have a fenced yard, love taking walks with dogs - whether that's one longer walk or multiple shorter walks, whatever it is they need.
