“My dog absolutely loves spending time with Zoe. She is a very courteous house sitter, and a great communicator. She will regularly check in via rover messenger when she has questions. Would recommend her services to friends and family.”

About: Hello! I'm Zoe, a lifelong animal lover and teacher with the Bainbridge Island School District since 2020. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, including pet sitting and walking pups of all sizes and temperaments. My family includes my sweet rescue dog Friday (a 9-year-old pittie mix) and my adventurous 3-year-old daughter Rooney. We love spending time outdoors and can often be found exploring the beaches and trails around Bainbridge together. Whether your dog loves long walks, quiet snuggles, or playtime in the yard, I’ll treat them like part of the family! I have weekends off and enjoy spending time at home with my pets. During the week, I work from 8am-2:30pm. I work 5 minutes away from home and would be able to check on any pet at least once a day. I feed pets as needed, provide daily walks and preferred exercise either on a leash out and about, at a dog park, or in my fully fenced backyard. I am happy to provide interactive treats that meet a dog's dietary needs and provide enrichmentk.

“Jeremy has been an amazing dog sitter for my drop-in visits! He’s always great at communicating and consistently keeps me updated with pictures, which gives me peace of mind while I’m away. My dog can be a bit wary of new people, but Jeremy was incredibly patient and took the time to build trus which I really appreciate. It’s clear he genuinely cares about animals, and I feel confident knowing my pup is in good hands with him. Highly recommend!”


“Jennifer is amazing!! She has watched my cat before and I felt so much better leaving town, knowing she was going to be there to check in. Jennifer sends detailed notes about how your animal is doing and sends great pictures. Highly recommend going with Jennifer for her services!”



“Mel went above and beyond for us and our cat, even coming over last minute to help us out with something. We will absolutely be using her services again. She was so communicative and Derby loves her!”


About: I have owned pets for as long as I can remember. Pets bring such joy to a home. I am grateful that I have learned how to take care of animals from a young age. I have adopted dogs, and been adopted by a couple of cats! I have also raised chickens over the past 20 years. My heart has a special place for our senior pets that may need a little extra care and understanding. Currently, I own the fluffiest, most affectionate cat who thinks he is a dog! His best buddy was the dog I was raising to be a guide dog. I have 2 years of dog training with dogs who have gone on to be therapy dogs. Looking forward to meeting you are your pet! Let's schedule a "meet and greet" so see if we are a good fit!. My hours are flexible, so let's see what you need! I am enjoying working from home, now that I have left my busy work commute to Seattle. I am happy to get out to walk, visit furry friends and give them the attention they need. I am available for drop ins and walks. I can administer medications, respect any special needs for your furry ones, and love to walk, run or play with them! Or just keep them company with love and affection.


“Jacob was wonderful, and took care of my cat, even during the last snow storm and terrible road conditions. He also sent me pictures and daily updates, and my cat was relaxed and happy when I returned. The communication was great and Jacob is very reliable and judging from the pictures my cat loved him!”



About: With over 15 years of active pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of caring for animals, I bring compassion, playful attentiveness, and calm confidence to every home I visit. In 2024, I spent four months road-tripping across the U.S., housesitting along the way and caring for 7 cats and 14 dogs in 10 households—ranging widely in breed, age, temperament, and needs. This experience left me especially comfortable quickly building trusting relationships with new animals and adapting to their individual personalities. I have extensive experience with medically complex pets, including administering pills and liquid medications, giving injections, and providing wound care. I understand the importance of consistent routines, detailed observation, and gentle handling when working with animals who require special attention. Whether caring for playful puppies, senior cats, or anything in between, I offer dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I work four days a week, Thurs-Sun in the afternoon and evening. On work days, I am available in the morning and late-evening. Mon-Wed I have full availability for all types of care. I prioritize safety and active stimulation for my own pets and those I care for. In addition to maintaining feeding schedules and security, I make sure those animals in my care receive exercise and mental stimulation, depending on their needs.

“The scheduled walk and drop-in visit went very smoothly. My pup normally experiences separation anxiety when I'm away for longer periods of time. Tonight she is very relaxed and mellow. Thank you!”


About: I will provide a fun and loving vacay for your pet, while you are away. Your fur baby will be well taken care of and loved in my home or yours if you prefer. I am well versed in puppy training from potty training to crate training and learning to walk on a leash, through positive reinforcement. I will love, care for and play with your loved one as they are my own. My home has a fully fenced in yard that is easily accessible via a doggy door. For senior pets, there are no stairs in the home. I own the property next to me so there is also plenty of room there to play and chase balls. I am happy to discuss with you how I can best care for your animal while your are away to ensure a smooth and stress free experience for both. I currently work full time M-F from 7am until 3:30pm. I am available for boarding at my home 7 days a week. I will ensure your animal gets plenty of play time before I go to work and upon my return. I have a fully fenced in yard that is accessible via the doggy door of their own personal play room in my home. Your fur baby will be kept company by my loving and playful Australian Cattle Dog. While I am away from the home dogs are kept in crates to ensure their safety. I am willing to help and assist in crate training if needed or desired. While I am home your pet will be welcomed to be apart of my family whether it’s hiking, going for walks or just a night in chilling by the fire and watching TV. Your animal we be treated and loved as my own.

“Natalie did a great job with our dogs. One of them was being a jerk that day, but she handled the situation exceptionally well and provided great advice to help us in the future.”


“We are very happy with the care and communication Emily provided. She even stopped by the vet and picked up a perscription I forgot to get before leaving town. We were able to relax while visiting family knowing our kitty was being well taken care of.”
