Pet Sitting Belltown

About: What sets me apart is my background as a teacher, which brings patience, reliability, and strong communication skills to every pet-walking experience. I also have 8+ years of hands-on experience caring for my own special needs Great Dane, giving me a deep understanding of large breeds and pets with unique requirements. I treat every animal like family and always go the extra mile to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a work from home teacher, my schedule becomes much more flexible during the summer, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and energy to pet care. I love incorporating it into my routine; it’s a rewarding way to stay active, spend time with animals, and provide dependable, thoughtful care when pet owners need it most. I am strictly just walking dogs at the moment. But my dog is treated like family and that’s the same way I would treat your dog. I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, and affection. I’m attentive to pet’s needs, whether that’s exercise, or extra cuddle time, or maybe a break for water. I follow any specific instructions from owners, and ensure pets feel secure and loved while they’re with me.

About: I'm a software engineer working from home looking to break up my day with some exercise. You will find me to be reliable and communicative. I love dogs. I adopted Wally from shelter 10 years ago, and he's been getting 10k steps a day ever since. I frequently care for friends' dogs, and would love to help yours get out more. I'm a freelance software engineer with control over my schedule and a very predictable routine. I can accommodate walks almost any time during the day with a little notice. I live in an apartment in SLU with a very high energy beagle. I know how to keep him stimulated and and well exercised. We know all the parks and neighborhoods nearby and where to get a drink of water on a hot day.

“Joy & Dani are simply lovely people...It's so obvious they love our dogs as much as we do. And it's a relief to be able to leave our fur babies in their care without worry. Their home is fully pet-proofed, warm and welcoming. I'm so happy we found them!”

About: Hi! I’ve been a huge animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Vietnam, my connection with dogs started when I was really young—I used to help my mom bathe and feed our family dogs, and I even helped hand-feed a litter of newborn puppies when their mom didn't have enough milk! That early, hands-on care gave me a deep, intuitive bond with animals, and my friends actually joke that I’m a bit of a "dog whisperer." Fast forward to today, I’m the go-to pet sitter for my cousins, and I've even helped train their dogs from the time they were little puppies. Whether I'm working on basic commands with a high-energy pup or just cuddling up with a big, beautiful fluffy white dog, spending time with animals is genuinely my favorite thing to do. I absolutely love being outdoors, and I'm totally used to getting my steps in around Seattle, rain or shine. Because of my hands-on puppy training experience, I’m super comfortable reinforcing good leash manners and handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I’ll make sure your dog gets a great, safe workout and comes home happy and tired out! I am currently looking for a full-time job and trying to make some extra cash to cover my living expenses. I am very flexible about time as long as you let me know ahead of time. I will definitely arrange my schedule and help provide your pets with a joyful walk or a lovely home visit! I provide home drop-in service, so whenever and wherever you need my care for your pets, please feel free to reach out to me. I will give your pets real companionship while you’re busy or out of town. It’s never just a quick potty break and a food bowl refill with me—we’ll actually play, cuddle, and hang out so they don’t feel lonely. And if you have kitties too, even better! I love cats just as much as dogs and would be thrilled to care for your whole furry crew. I can’t wait to meet your pets and treat them exactly like my own!

“Aya was so great with my cat Jackson... he's still adjusting to being in a new space and Aya was fantastic giving him attention when I couldn't be there. Totally recommend!”

“Ana is extremely reliable, personable and a great communicator. I rested well while I was out of town knowing she was taking care of my cat Sybil. I highly recommend her.”

About: I've had my own dog and cat, have always had a natural love for animals. I treat every pet I care for like my own I’m available for cat care in the noon/evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends. I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats and caring for them, and I make sure each visit is calm, consistent, and attentive. I care for cats in their own home by following the owner’s instructions carefully so they stay comfortable in their normal routine. I make sure they are fed, have clean litter boxes, and fresh water at every visit. I also spend time giving attention and companionship based on the cat’s personality (whether that’s playtime or just quiet company). I always make sure the home is secure before leaving.

“Annie was an easy choice to take care of our two cats while we were away. From the start, she was responsive and flexible. She followed every care instruction, was respectful of our space, and importantly, was attentive to our girls. : )”

“Cassie was amazing! She came for several drop in visits with our kitty while we were out of town. It was so reassuring to get her communications and she was always very responsive. I was amazed at how many photos she sent us. It was clear our kitty was having a lovely time during her visits. Would definitely work with her again.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs most of my life which helped grow my love and understanding of their unique personalities. I also have volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I gained experience caring for pets from a variety of backgrounds. For the past 5 years I have worked at a dog daycare facility, caring for large group of dogs with unique characteristics. This role has taught me how to stay calm under pressure and confidently manage multiple dogs with different temperaments. I treat every pet as if they were my own and my goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved and safe. While also giving owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in experienced, caring hands. I currently work a 9-5pm and are available mainly on the weekends and in the late afternoons. I will work around my schedule for the needs of your furry friends and make sure they get the best care I do live in an apartment but am very close to several dog parks. I also love going on walks and being outdoors, taking the dogs on multiple walks or exploring would be my ideal day.

“Very reliable and communicative! Great about asking questions, and spending quality time with Squiggle! Would definitely book again.”

About: Hi, I’m Cristina! I’ve had the joy of caring for five large dogs over the years, so I know how to handle big pups with energy and personality. Whether it's long walks, playtime, or giving out belly rubs, I genuinely enjoy making dogs feel loved and cared for. I understand the importance of keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable while you're away. You can trust that your furry friend will be in good hands with me! Looking forward to meeting your pup! I currently work full time leaving weekends to be able to board any furry friends. I always make sure to prioritize pets' routines, ensuring they stay comfortable and happy throughout the day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. I create a secure, pet-friendly environment with plenty of room to play, relax, and feel at ease. I always follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special care instructions provided. Whether in my home or yours, I keep a close eye on pets, ensure their environment is hazard-free, and offer plenty of attention and affection. Trust and communication are key — I keep pet parents updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.

“Kevin did so well for my kitty’s first time with him. He was able to win over my fraidy cat after a few days, which is no small feat! He sent lots of photo updates and included the details of his food and potty. Kevin was consistent and patient, and gave me enough info so that I had a good idea of how the days were going. I was so relieved when my furbabe even started playing with him - and felt reassured that he was in safe hands the whole time I was gone.”

“Julia is amazing!! She was so patient with my timid boy. Provided great communication and lovely pictures. I will absolutely be booking her going forward. Thank you Julia!!!!”

About: I’ve spent years working with dogs, from managing a daycare and boarding facility to caring for them in my own home. I’m comfortable with all sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I focus on creating a calm, well-managed environment where dogs can settle in quickly and feel comfortable. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I had a German Shepherd and Wolf mix for 15 years, along with a cat who was with me for over 20, so I understand how much they mean and how important it is to know they’re in good hands. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and make sure they get the extra patience and attention they need. My schedule is fully open and dedicated to pet care, which allows for flexibility with boarding and walks. I’m home throughout the day, so dogs get consistent supervision and attention, helping them feel comfortable and settled while they’re here. I live in a clean, well maintained apartment in Belltown, with easy access to great walking routes like the Olympic Sculpture Park, the Elliott Bay Trail, and quieter streets nearby for shorter walks. Inside, I keep the space tidy and free of hazards so dogs can relax and move around comfortably. I’m home throughout the day, which allows for consistent supervision and a calm, structured environment where dogs can settle in and feel at ease.
