Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Bigelow, Olympia, WA

“Bridget was kind to our cats. They seemed to like her. She followed all the items listed on my note, and went above and washed their dishes and their water fountain.”

“Xiu took such good care of our pups while we were out of town recently. They are not used to others coming over and taking care of them but they quickly gained trust in Xiu. She also kept us so informed messaging and sending pictures. It was great seeing how happy they were with her. It all started with a great meet and greet. She was so detailed to make sure she understood who they were and their needs. I hope we can have her come watch them again.”

“Hannah did an excellent job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was very friendly and accommodating, and sent photos of my pet during her check-ins. I feel better knowing she was here! Will definitely re-book her for my next trip.”

Hayley A.

“Vanessa was very caring and patient to our chiweenie who is not easy to trust. She was very communicative with giving updates while we were away. I highly recommend! :)”

Courtney M.

“Nicholas took great care of our kitties and sent wonderful updates which were VERY appreciated. It's so nice to come home to happy cats. If you're looking for someone to treat your pets well while you're out of town, you could not ask for a better person than Nicholas.”

“Deidre was fantastic. We were very anxious leaving our older chihuahua and standard poodle alone all day since they’ve become accustomed to being no more than 5 feet away from us since working from home the last 6 years. As soon as we met Deidre for the meet and greet we were put at ease. She’s has a calm, grounded presence that not only the dogs but even our scaredy cats responded too. She came by for three visits and sent full updates and many photos. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“Savannah is awesome at communicating. I work a busy schedule and had to communicate with her about an emergency regarding my pups and she was super responsive and came up with solutions to help us the most helpful ways. Great sitter. Definitely recommend.”

Courtney T.

“Great communication, super kind and good with Finny boy! So glad to have found him, my mom was nervous about the process but he made it very easy”

Hannah T.

“Madison was great looking after the puppies, checking on the birds, and watering plants while I was away for a week. She gives detailed updates with photos and descriptions. Our dogs look perky and excited to have her around!”

“Becky took care of my two cats for a week while I was on a river trip. She also watered my bonsai plants. Everything done just as I would have done it. I pleasure to come home and find everything in good shape.”

Cathy W.

“Wonderful experience!! I will definitely use Ashley again and recommend her to anyone. She kept me updated and responded to messages very quickly. My cats were well taken care of. They are pretty social with me and not used to me being gone. So far they are not showing any separation issues and even the shy anxious one is doing great! Ashley stopped in to hang out twice a day and that extra people interaction each day from my past one a day visits has had a big impact. Sad as it is to say it’s almost like they didn’t miss me as much this time :) Thank you!!!”

About: I have taken care of pups of all ages (from puppies to seniors) as well as sizes! I love going on walks short or long, playing, as well as cuddles! I have taken care of pups who require a high level of consistency in their routines and do my best to attune to those needs as reliably as possible, working with and directly communicating with pet parents (as desired). I do dog walking, drop-in visits, as well as overnight stays. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule for day time drop-in visits for play time, feeding, as well as walks of varying lengths and time (rain or shine)! I am incredibly respectful of anyone's home that I enter and leave the space as clean as when I entered. I am really intentional about making sure my time with your animal baby is thoughtful, reliable, caring, and safe. Consistency in routine and safety are two values to animal care that I hold.

“Fantastic service. My pets love Lizzy. And so do I. She is dependable and always plays with my Bella and makes sure the cats get attention too. Highly recommended.”

Donna B.

“We loved Helena, she treated our old dog with such great care. We will definitely be booking with her again and so appreciate her taking care of our dog.”

Emily W.

“Melanie did a great job taking care of my very unfriendly cat Daisy! She sent lots of pictures & updates, which I enjoyed getting. Melanie brought my mail in & took my garbage out to the curb for pick up too. She went above & beyond! I am so happy to have found her to take care of Daisy when I am gone!”

About: I luckily was able to grow up on a farm where I was around horses, sheep, dogs and cats all throughout my childhood and young adulthood. I feel comfortable being about to sense what an animal needs and how to make them feel more as ease. I am a very active person and if you have an active dog, can get them out on adventure hikes. I work part-time and from home a lot of days. I am mostly home on the weekends and can be available with advance notice for any day or holiday. I have an apartment where dogs or cats can roam and are allowed on the bed. As I am home for much of the day they can be comforted that I am there and let out on frequent potty breaks.

About: * summer is here and I still have a few openings left so book asap! Also... I know it seems too early and sunny to think about the holidays, but I usually book up months in advance so reach out, even if you don't have exact travel plans, but know you'll need pet care. I currently have Labor Day already booked, but mid November - New Years is pretty much open, except one booking in Dec. Check my updated calendar. My dog care experience spans all ages and breeds. I know puppies are more work, but I enjoy working with them on leash and obedience training to maintain good habits while their people are away. I have experience with giving daily medications and have cared for senior dogs, one who needed daily blood sugar testing and insulin shots. I live mobile between pet sitting gigs staying with friends and family from Marysville to Olympia. I started pet sitting for clients when I was house cleaning during the time I was in grad school. Because I was already working in their homes and had biweekly interactions with their pets, it was an easy transition to pet care. It was also during this time that a couple of professors inquired about pet sitting. I was a backup for one of thier regular sitters and the other, I'm still their regular sitter 7+ years later. I care for your pets the same way you would. They like to sleep in the bed with me? Cool. They need extra outside play time or walks to keep their anxiety low because you're gone? Done. I am very intuitive to reading their energy and do everything I can to meet their needs. Do you have some anxiety about being away and want pictures daily? Got it covered. My experience with house cleaning also menas I take care of the spaces I am staying so I am happy to water house plants and take care of gardens if needed.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! I love pets and if I could I would adopt all the dogs! Bringing animals joy brings me joy! I’m currently working a full time job, I’m off Mondays and Tuesdays. And wanting to walk your dog any day of the week, or stop in visits on my days off! I have one lovely sweet boy dog, black lab! I’m looking forward to walks alone or with my puppy! He’s very friendly and always looking for new friends to play with!

About: With over 30 years of experience as a pet owner of both cats and dogs, I’ve naturally transitioned into pet sitting and house sitting for others—starting with friends and family, and growing through word of mouth to care for pets of friends of friends. I’m a lifelong animal lover who takes pride in providing loving, reliable care for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s a short visit or a long-term stay, I follow instructions carefully, maintain a clean and tidy environment, and prioritize clear, consistent communication with pet owners for total peace of mind. I currently work weekends only 12-8pm in Olympia so I am free around those hours and all week long! I am available for drop ins as well as overnight stays. I take great pride in caring for my 11-year-old rescue cat in my apartment, creating a calm and nurturing environment tailored to her needs. From maintaining a clean, cozy space to providing regular meals, playtime, and gentle affection, I ensure she feels secure and loved every day. This same level of attentiveness and compassion extends to the pets I care for in other people’s homes. I prioritize each animal’s comfort and routine, while respecting the owner's space and preferences, fostering a sense of safety and trust. Whether it's feeding, administering medication, or offering companionship, I approach every pet with patience, reliability, and genuine care.
