“Bridget gave excellent care and love to our cat (who had to wear a cone when we were away). Bridget put our minds at ease, gave great updates and answered any questions we had promptly.”


“Mariela was super nice and understanding! She gave us detailed updates which we really appreciate and made sure my boy was taken care of. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her next time we need a petsitter.”


“I had Nicholas do a week of drop in visits for my kitty while we were out of town. He called the visits the "Elusive Itty-Bitty Adventures" and provided a fun synopsis of that day's encounter along with photos. If you are wondering whether or not to book Nicholas for your needs, look no further and just book him, he's amazing and will no disappoint!”


“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! :)”


“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.”


“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.”


“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!”


“Stephanie was great with our cats! She was also very professional from the day we first met to our last day. She kept our check-ins/outs very informative detailing how my cats interacted with her such as feeding and playing time with them. She posted pictures of them all, which ensured to us they were interacted with her pretty good including my shy cat, which he never gets closer to anyone he does not know. We were and are comfortable enough having her taking care of our cats.. surely, can’t wait to have you back in the house to take care of them once again. I cannot express my gratitude; so, thank you again and again! It has been a pleasure meeting you! My babies love you!”


“Becky did an outstanding job taking care of my cat Buddy while I was away! She provided daily updates with pictures, and I had peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away. Will definitely be rebooking with Becky in the future!”



“Kristina was the absolute best ! She not only treated simba like he was her own fur baby but she also took such good care of our home. She kept us updated everyday and communicated throughout our whole vacation. She was always on time or early and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you so much Kristina !!”


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 able 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.


“100 stars! We moved to Olympia recently and then had to take a ten day trip out of town, and Jerri was amazing! We had daily pictures of our old man cat and she rotated lights, got the mail, and even dragged our trash cans back in. She also stayed in close contact with us the last day of our trip, as we were worried about our flights being cancelled or late, and she was ready to come back if we needed her. 10/10 highly recommend!”


“helena is not just a great dog sitter but really helped me out when i was in a bind with losing my keys. can not thank her or recommend her enough !”


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: With over 30 years of caring for animals, I’ve created a peaceful, spotless mobile salon that comes right to your door—bringing the comfort of a spa day to your pet without ever leaving home. After a gentle check-in, your pet will be treated to a soothing bath using premium shampoo and moisturizing conditioner, followed by a cozy fluff dry, ear cleaning, nail trimming, paw pad and sanitary shaving, and a personalized haircut tailored just for them. Every session is one-on-one, kennel-free, and thoughtfully customized. I sanitize the salon and equipment after each visit to ensure a clean, safe space. Most appointments take between 1 to 3 hours, depending on your pet’s breed, coat, and personality. Animals have always been my life exotic animals. I own two dogs. I have fish. Always learning always living with animals. It’s not work if you love what you do. Safety and care is number one priority! I take extra precautions because animals can be very unpredictable. So safety care and a loving environment. Creativity, love, compassion and making them have the best experience they can.

“Erica was suuuper attentive with our babies and sent us photos in every visit so we didn’t feel that far from our babies cats when we were gone. Highly recommended and definitely will book with her next time! 🐱❤️”


“Grace was super responsive and did great with our dogs. For our 11-month old puppy, this was her first time with a pet sitter. Grace kept me posted on how the puppy was doing and made adjustments to make our puppy feel less anxious. Due to unforseen changes in our schedule, Grace was able to accomodate us with a second visit later in the day. I highly recommend her!”
