Connor is fantastic! He is very reliable and communicative about availability and updates. Mo has taken right to him. Knowing that she gets some attention makes going back on site easier for us both. I truly appreciate Connor looking after Mo!

About: Hi, I’m Allie! 👋🏻 I've been a dedicated, trusty sitter for friends and family for over a decade. I have a deep understanding of both cat and dog behavior and will follow their lead and get to know them at their own pace. I'm currently offering drop-in pet care and dog walking in the Queen Anne, Magnolia and Fremont area! I currently work a flexible schedule on weekdays, so I am able to make time for your pet! I prefer to do visits between 8 am and 7 pm, but am happy to work around your schedule and find something that fits. My weekend availability is limited in the summer, but I’m available most weekdays to take care of your pet. When it comes to getting to know your pet, I will follow their lead. I understand that cats especially can be picky with their people, and I understand it's not personal! I'll follow their cues to lead our interaction. I do not offer in-home pet care at this time due to lease restrictions.

Raymond was great and very communicative! We loved all the pictures he sent us throughout of the doggies. We got the sense that he really knew what he was doing compared to other Rover’s we’ve hired in the past. The girls seemed happy when we got home which is a great sign. Thank you Raymond! We recommend his service to anyone interested and will definitely hire again in the future 🙂

Blanca is the best sitter we could ask for, no exaggeration. Blanca checks on our two never-resting Australian Shepherds, twice a week. She trains them, walks them, Balanca even goes beyond and if our cat brings a rat inside takes care of it or any accident inside. Basically she does more than what is expected and she is incredibly easy to work with.

Jenna was so amazing with my cat! Although my girl Kiwi is a bit shy and normally takes time to warm up, it seemed like they bonded right away. Jenna also took the funniest/cutest photos ever, and I could tell that Kiwi was getting plenty of playtime and attention during the visits. I came home to a tidy apartment (above and beyond what I would’ve expected) and a happy cat!

Alejandra is amazing!! She is super responsive to messages and is super caring with our dogs. I hired Alejandra for a drop in visit for my two large dogs, and was very anxious about having someone new come and take them out while I was stuck at work. Alejandra alleviated all that anxiety with updates and pictures! My boys look happy and safe, and I’m so glad we have someone with such a caring personality to check in on the boys while we’re out. Would highly recommend and will absolutely be booking again!!

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover based in Seattle, offering dog walking, pet sitting, house sitting, and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. Since moving to Seattle in June 2024, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I’ve also been a proud cat mom to Winston and Levi since 2019, so I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your pets like family! I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to care for your pets during the weekdays and weekends alike. Whether your dog needs a midday walk or your cat needs some company while you're away, I’m here to help. I'm reliable, communicative, and love building genuine connections with the pets I care for. I’m happy to provide references upon request and always aim to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their humans.

About: Hi there! My name is Leah. I am an attentive and kind pet-sitter with experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Growing up with dogs in my home, I learned early on how to provide loving and responsible care, naturally leading me to pet-sitting for neighbors and friends. I had a steady dog-walking job from middle school through high school, giving me hands-on experience handling different dogs, understanding their unique personalities, and ensuring they felt safe and happy while in my care. I am comfortable with senior dogs, puppies, and cats, adjusting my care style based on their specific needs. Whether it's providing gentle support for an older pet, reinforcing basic training with a young pup, or simply making sure a cat feels comfortable in my presence, I take pride in being a reliable and compassionate caregiver. I am currently in between jobs, so I am flexible enough to walk or check in on your pet as needed. As a dog owner, I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone to treat your pet like family. I treat every pet I watch or walk as my own, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and well-cared for. My goal is to give pets a great experience while giving their owners peace of mind. As I have a dog of my own, pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I prioritize exercise, playtime, and companionship, ensuring every pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it's morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or overnight stays, I integrate pet care into my schedule to provide consistent, loving attention. I am currently in between jobs, so my schedule is very flexible. I provide attentive, loving care by following each pet’s routine, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe. I offer regular walks, playtime, and 1-1 time according to the client's instructions. I tailor my care to their needs, whether that means administering medication, reinforcing training, or providing extra attention for puppies or senior pets. My goal is to create a stress-free, happy environment for every pet I watch.

About: Hi! Apart from having two incredible dogs at home, I have been dogsitting for years, both day-to-day and overnight. My family grew up fostering dogs, impressing a deep love for ALL puppies, no matter how unique they may be. I’m also a licensed EMT and have been working as one for years, meaning I can keep my cool even in super stressful situations. I also genuinely love dogs — all of my friends know that I can’t pass another dog without asking to say hello. Let me help you out by providing responsible and quality care for your best friend!!!! I’m here visiting family short-term, so I don’t have another job at the moment. I’m available pretty much all day, every day! I love the city and love hiking and exploring and so long and/or frequent walks will not be an issue for me. I have two dogs at home, and my family has always prioritized outdoor enrichment and active play with them. I really believe that dogs need ample time outside to sniff and play and run, and I’ll do anything I can to provide that experience for them, granted it’s a safe environment. I also believe that dogs deserve love and kisses and treats (within reason 😉), and you can count on me to provide your puppy with a loving, as well as active and engaging experience while you’re gone.

Ally took such great care of our two cats while we were out of town. She sends thorough documentation of everything that happened, over a dozen photos and spends the entire time taking good care of our babies. I look forward to having her sit for us again, and hope the cats get to know her more for playtime!

About: I grew up with a dachshund and have watched other pets several times in my adult life. I've hosted a small dog in my apartment for about 6 weeks, taking him for walks and sharing lots of cuddles and play time. I've house sat several times for a family with a boxer mix and an older orange cat and loved hanging out with them. I spent about 6 months living with a mini dachshund - I regularly took him for little walks and he would lay on my lap while we watched TV. I currently live with a golden doodle and often take care of her when her mom is away - making sure to take her for a walk and give her plenty of attention so she doesn't miss her human too much. I work remotely and can take frequent breaks throughout the day. Ideally, I'd like to spend some time with pets during the workday in addition to before and after work. I like to go out with friends once or twice a week but always plan ahead to make sure the pets are taken care of. I'm happy to follow any rules or expectations you have in your home and am also committed to building trust with your pets and respecting them so that they feel safe and comfortable with me.

Allie is an animal lover through and through, and it’s clear that animals love her too! She’s cared for my cat several times when I’ve been out of town and he’s usually shy and hides but he greets her at the door and is very social. She always makes sure he has the care he needs and pays close attention to any instructions. I always appreciate the cute pictures she sends. I highly recommend Allie for any pet care needs!!

Leah is my younger sister so I've known her my whole life :) She is responsible, considerate, and detail-oriented along with being a loving, compassionate dog person. She has a rescue dog herself, and it's been a pleasure to watch her care for him and get to know all about him to make sure he has the safest, most caring home. I would trust her to look after any dog and take the time and effort to get to know their individual personalities, likes/dislikes, and favorite walk routes in addition to seeing after their daily needs. Growing up, I watched Leah not only help take care of the family's golden retrievers, but also volunteer to walk and play with the neighborhood dogs. One day, another golden was walking down the street with his person, and she made friends right there. Until Willy left this earth, she was taking him on long walks, going roller blading with him, and even helping him get therapy dog certification so he could visit hospitals and nursing homes. She also helped our parents adopt their first dog during COVID (the others had been from breeders). Leah is a highly capable person with a kind heart, and I know she will take the best care of your dog and any other pet you may have.

Catherine has been my go-to dog sitter since 2022. The first time she met our dog, Rigley, we knew she was the perfect person for our pup! She has a way with animals that shines through. She’s calmed down our anxious older dog in ways none of us has been able to, and gets Rigley excited to get out and exercise! Catherine is our Rigley whisperer - and I could not recommend her enough to take care of your little guys. She’s reliable, flexible, and passionate. We love you, Catherine!! :)

She sends thorough documentation of everything that happened, over a dozen photos and spends the entire time taking good care of our babies. I look forward to having her sit for us again, and hope the cats get to know her more for playtime!

Claire has taken care of my dog in my house twice now while I was out of town. Not only does she do a great job with my reactive dog with a very specific daily routine, but she also takes great care of my house while I’m away. Would highly recommend her as a pet sitter!

Eleanor is the go-to human for keeping our Grizz happy and fed when we’re away for a few days. She quickly made friends with this fussy feline. Peace of mind for us!

Braxton did a great job taking care of my cat Carmel while I was away. Carmel isn’t usually picky, but he definitely liked Braxton. I came home to a well-cared-for cat. On top of that, Braxton also helped me out in a pinch by mailing something important for me while I was away. I really appreciated his help and would absolutely book with him again!

Delanie is wonderful! She incredibly knowledgeable and asks all the right questions. Within the first few minutes of our meet and greet, it was obvious that she’s an excellent sitter! After booking with her, I can confirm that she really is the best of the best!

This was our second time using Remy. Had a great experience again. One of our cats knocked over a vase and it broke. Remy was super communicative, cleaned it up, and checked our kittys paws to make sure they were all ok. We really appreciate her!

Jolene was an absolute delight to work with and to entrust my beloved Wiggles with. Jolene sent me pictures of Wiggles in her happy places with a happy face. Jolene also took the time to water my thirsty plants in this hot, hot weather. Showing how considerate and caring she was of our home.

Carmela is amazing! Our cat was being very rude, and she did such an amazing job making sure he still got his meds and food and some attention. Very very grateful for the care, patience, and photos!

Alejandra is amazing!! She is super responsive to messages and is super caring with our dogs. I hired Alejandra for a drop in visit for my two large dogs, and was very anxious about having someone new come and take them out while I was stuck at work. Alejandra alleviated all that anxiety with updates and pictures! My boys look happy and safe, and I’m so glad we have someone with such a caring personality to check in on the boys while we’re out. Would highly recommend and will absolutely be booking again!!
