“Stacey is super communicative and kind, and great with our extra-sniffy Lab. We just moved to the area and are so happy to have someone great in the area we can rely on!”

“Paula was so amazing with our girl Mizu. Mizu canbe hesitant with strangers but warmed up to Paula quickly and became super excited for their daily walks together. We use a gentle lead for Mizu bc she is a big puller as well, and Paula was already familiar with them. She was super communicative and accommodating, so I highly recommend her!”

“Mira is extremely reliable, timely, and a great communicator! My pup has been well cared for on her walks while I’m at work, very grateful for the service she provides!”

“Mengyuan is kind, patient, responsible, and caring with our dog. He asks thoughtful questions and takes the time to learn our dog's quirks. She comes back happy from her walks. Mengyuan is super responsive and great to work with!”

“Elise is wonderful! They have been so communicative on their walks with my pup, Shortcake, and they have been very punctual. Not only do I trust Elise with Shortcake, I think Shorty has a lot of fun on their walks.”


“Kinsley went above and beyond for my dog. She was so kind and patience and gave frequent updates about their progress and my dog’s well being. I really appreciate Kinsley for looking out for her!”

“Sydnie is amazing! She’s punctual, flexible with my schedule, and always takes great care of my dog! My dog can be somewhat challenging on walks and she handles him with such care and patience that I have no worries at all. Sydnie- thank you for always being so great with Pinot! We love having the help!”

About: I’ve cared for cats for most of my life (currently an owner of two cats). I also had a dog for several years, so I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, litter box care, walks, playtime, and keeping pets on their usual routines. I’ve also been involved in cat rescue work, which has given me experience with different personalities and comfort levels. I’m attentive, reliable, and happy to provide frequent updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are well cared for while you’re away. I work from home on weekdays and have a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m generally most available between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., with afternoons being especially convenient. I can often accommodate visits outside those hours as well with advance notice. I’m very attentive to each pet’s routine, comfort, and safety, and I’ll follow your care instructions closely. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, a clean litter box or bathroom break, appropriate play and attention, and plenty of time to feel comfortable with me. I’m also careful about doors, gates, medications, and any special instructions you provide.
About: Hello! My name is Jared Davies and I live in the Ballard area. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, but I grew up with multiple dogs and cats my entire childhood. I go on walks/runs every day around the Ballard area and miss having a furry friend to bring along with me. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. Happy to come meet you and your pet at your convenience, free of charge before we get anything scheduled! I am currently working remote throughout the week. I am pretty flexible and can accommodate to the needs of the pets that I am sitting for. I have a good sized 1 bedroom apartment in Ballard. There are a few grassy areas just outside of my apartment, which is where I typically take them to go to the bathroom. I will take your dog on walks around the Ballard neighborhood. There are no other pets or people in my apartment, although my girlfriend occasionally helps out when I am pet sitting.
About: Hi! I’m a friendly and reliable dog lover living in Ballard! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so I love being around them and have plenty of experience looking after them, including senior and special needs dogs. I have a great understanding of what dogs need and will always ensure that they are happy, safe and well cared for! I offer dog walking and drop-in visits. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all kinds, big or small, and all personalities. I’m at my happiest when cuddling or walking dogs, so I would love the chance to take care of yours. I recently moved to the US with my husband and am currently job hunting, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability during the week. This means I can be flexible around your dog’s routine and give them plenty of time and attention. When caring for your dog, I’ll keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely, be it feeding, medication or walking routes, and pay attention to their behaviour and energy levels so I can adjust to their needs. Safety is always a priority, and I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind.
“I highly recommend Julie. We hired her to walk our dog, Jemma, while Jemma was staying with a family member during a trip. Julie is kind and caring, and it’s clear she truly loves dogs. Jemma adored her and eagerly waited by the door for her daily walks. Julie is organized, communicates well, and sent us plenty of pictures. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Jemma was in such good hands.”

About: I’m very patient with pets and want to take care of them in a way that fits their needs! I love going for walks and love some tail-wagging company even more :) I have an open schedule at the moment currently and am available for daily care or overnight care, short notice for walks and sitting is fine! I cannot provide my own space, but I will be more than willing to jump in to any tasks for your pet and around the house that you do otherwise

About: I have experience since childhood with walking, feeding and teaching desired behaviors with treats and positive reinforcement. Within the last two years, I can bathe and crate-train as well. My schedule is completely open, I work my own hours and can adjust according to your pet's needs. I will be quick to communicate if there are any unforseen changes with multiple day's notice. I'm very patient with animals and happy to accommodate any special needs your pet might have (frequent potty breaks, putting on sweaters before walks, crate-training, etc).
“Emily has been amazing with our pup Frankie. She walks Frankie three times a week and has been super reliable and communicative, which we really appreciate. It’s clear she genuinely loves Frankie and enjoys spending time with her, which gives us a lot of peace of mind. We always look forward to the updates and photos she sends after each walk. We’re so happy to have found Emily and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

About: I was raised on a farm and have had experience taking care of all types of dogs and cats since childhood. Friends and family have asked me to look after their pets for a long time, and I have yet to encounter an animal that didn’t like me. I am currently working part-time as I am waiting on law school application decisions. I have two cats of my own and I put their needs first as far as feeding them on a regular schedule and making time to clean the litter box daily. I also place an emphasis on enrichment through play time and mental stimulation with puzzles. I take a slow approach when meeting new animals and allow them to warm up to me on their own terms to avoid stressing them. My two kitties are used to being around other cats and are very friendly. I also have room to separate cats if they do not get along for some reason. My cats have also met dogs before and I have plenty of room to accommodate and play with dogs in my townhome without compromising the comfort and boundaries of my cats.
About: Hi! I started pet and house sitting for family friends back in high school, but things really took off my freshman year at UW. Living in a tiny dorm with two roommates, I started booking sits on Rover for a little extra space—and ended up finding a job I absolutely loved. I continued pet sitting throughout college and even did it full time for six months after graduating. Over the years, I’ve cared for so many pets that I’ve genuinely lost track! Big dogs, tiny dogs, seniors, and reactive pets—I’ve seen it all and always tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. I work remotely, which means I can be with your pet around the clock. Whether your pet needs lots of attention, frequent walks, or just someone nearby for comfort, I’ve got them covered. I also take caring for your home seriously. I know how nice it is to come home to a clean space after traveling, and I go out of my way to keep things tidy. Some families have even asked me to come back later just as their house cleaner! I treat every pet and home like my own and always aim to give pet parents complete peace of mind while they’re away 🐾 I work remotely for a Seattle based nonprofit, so I’m able to be with your pet all day and give them plenty of attention, walks, and care! Clear communication is the foundation of how I care for pets and homes. I always follow instructions closely and make sure I fully understand each pet’s routine, needs, and preferences before care begins. If you let me know what needs to be done, I will make sure it happens. I take my work seriously and pride myself on being dependable, responsible, and attentive to both pets and their environments!

Writing Hannah has been helping with Dilly’s walks for about a week now. She’s punctual, communicates well, and has been reliable. Dilly seems to be enjoying his walks, and I appreciate having someone I can count on to take him out! Already booked her for next week and highly recommend.

Allison took great care of our dog. She was reliable and punctual for his walk. She was prompt with communication and took many photos on their walk. Our dog responded very well to her calm demeanor when meeting her and melted into her arms. We will definitely book her again!

Megan was incredible - she came over to meet Mabel, our dog who is reactive on leash, ahead of time and so thorough in understanding Mabel’s needs and also she was very timely! She sends the best recaps and pictures, and goes above and beyond to take care of your pet. Will absolutely book again!
