Cat Sitting in Bryn Mawr-Skyway

“My first time using Rover, and Robin was great! She did drop in visits to feed my two cats while I was on vacation. I got daily updates from her and some pics. Even though one of my cats didn't like that there was a stranger in the home, Robin was patient with him. I will use Robin again!”

Marjorie F.

“Mckenzie took the best care of my two boys! She sent pictures and everything was clean and tidy, and they were happily fed. I will gladly book with Mckenzie again. Thank you!!!”

Jennifer R.

“We could not have asked for a better caregiver for our sweet fur baby. She was prompt with her reports and kept us informed. I would recommend her to anyone! Thanks Alyssa!”

Teresa W.

“Lynn is my Rover go-to. I trust her to keep a well-managed schedule, communicate well, seemed me pics of my cats, and follow complex instructions. Highly recommended.”

J. Chris M.

“Arin took good care of our cat while we were away, I loved her updates. Would recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Alex — lifelong animal lover, with over 10 years of experience in the pet care industry full-time pet caregiver, and the proud human behind a cozy dog-friendly home in Seattle. I’m here to give your dog a safe, fun, and relaxing place to stay while you’re away, with plenty of one-on-one attention and thoughtful care. Dogs in my home have full access to both indoor and outdoor spaces, including a fully fenced ⅓ acre yard where they can sniff, explore, and play freely. They’re welcome on couches and beds (because let’s be honest — they deserve it), and I provide comfy elevated beds or crates upon request for naps and downtime. Your pup’s comfort is always a priority. I host up to 5 dogs at a time to ensure each one receives quality care and attention. I accept small to large breeds (depending on temperament and compatibility), as well as puppies and senior dogs. I’m also experienced with shy, anxious pups — they’ll find a calm and understanding environment here. Each day includes: • 3+ hours of active play (fetch, running, one-on-one games) • Scent work & enrichment to keep minds sharp • Mental stimulation & puzzle games • Walks and river access during low tide (with owner’s permission!) • Rest time, soft beds, and even homemade snacks for extra love • Optional training support if your pup is working on skills • Optional basic training support or structured sessions upon request I’m home 24/7 — your dog is never left alone — and I provide 2–3 daily updates with photos and videos. You’re also welcome to message or call anytime; I want you to feel completely at ease while your pup is with me. My home is full of love, calm energy, and outdoor fun. Dogs aren’t just visitors here — they’re part of the family. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐶 Daily Schedule 5:00 AM – 10:00 AM 🚪 Drop-Off Window 🌿 Potty break + free play in the yard 👋 Welcome sniff session for early arrivals 🥣 Light breakfast/snack (if needed or provided by owner) 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM 🎾 Active Play & Social Time – Fetch, chase, tug-of-war, running games – Supervised group play & ball time 💦 Water & rest breaks between bursts of play 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM 🧠 Mental Stimulation & Enrichment – Scent games, puzzle toys, basic training (if requested) – Quiet one-on-one time for cuddles or brushing 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM 😴 Rest & Nap Time – Indoor relaxation with soft music – Access to elevated beds or cozy crates (if preferred) 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM 🌳 Walk or River Playtime (weather & tide permitting) – Short neighborhood walk – Optional supervised swimming (with owner approval) 🍪 Homemade snack time after play 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM 🐾 Gentle Play & Wind-Down Time – Soft toys, slow games, low-energy engagement 📸 Photo update sent to pet parents 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM 🚪 Pick-Up Window – Calm goodbyes, water refills, light clean-up 📦 Send home any toys, beds, or leftover food 📝 Final update to owner (if not sent earlier) In my home, pets receive thoughtful, personalized care in a safe and relaxed environment. I only take a small number of dogs at a time so each one gets the individual attention they need. My home has a calm, cozy energy with free access to a large, fully fenced ⅓-acre yard where dogs can explore, play, and relax throughout the day. Each pup enjoys a balance of structured and free playtime, including enrichment activities like scent work, basic training (if requested), fetch, and mental stimulation games. I also offer homemade treats, quiet rest periods with comfy elevated beds, and optional swimming during low tide (within my property, with owner approval). Dogs are welcome to bring their own beds, toys, or anything that makes them feel at home. I’m home 24/7, so pets are never left alone, and I provide 2–3 daily updates with photos and messages. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, or any special care instructions. If I’m caring for a pet in the client’s home, I aim to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I respect their space completely and make sure their pet feels safe, seen, and cared for. Each visit includes fresh food and water, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, light cleaning (if needed), and lots of affection. I’m also happy to water plants, bring in mail, or help with other small tasks while you’re away. No matter where I care for your pet, my goal is always the same: to provide loving, reliable, and attentive care so both you and your pet feel completely at ease.

“Fei is smart, experienced, a good communicator, and a delight to deal with. She took excellent care of our two cats. She sent us little texts and photos every day, including several of our tabby who usually hides from strangers.”

“Patrick was great with my cat while I was on vacation. Always updated me on my cat, which gave me peace while on vacation. Will definitely book Patrick again.”

About: I love my own dogs and have room in my heart for your dog too. I love running the neighborhood and the CRT and am willing to do whatever works best for your pup. I love early morning especially when it’s warm out. During the school year I can walk or run your pup before and or after school. I don’t offer the service of pet sitting or taking pets into my own home for care. But I am perfectly happy coming by to pick up your dog for a nice long walk or run and run after the run or walk I’ll make sure your dog is safely back in his home or yard and has water and everything it needs for the day.

About: Hello! I was zookeeper of reptiles and amphibians at a zoo for almost 6 years and now work as a veterinary assistant at a veterinary clinic here in Seattle. I have a cat, a dog, and a snake of my own and I love them dearly. I am experienced in animal care of many species. I have cared for dogs, cats, snakes, birds, and more. As a veterinary assistant, I am comfortable giving meds and managing old, frail, or special needs animals. I’d also love to hang out with your new kittens and puppies of course. Don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you have! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry (or scaly or feathered) friends!! My schedule is in flux at the moment. Please let me know when you need pet sitting and hopefully I can make it work. My schedule will be more solid soon when I start the new job. I can’t take pets into my home as my dog is sensitive to other new dogs or cats. I am happy to come to your place of residence to care for your pets and walk them around your neighborhood. I can also use my car to bring them to parks, trails, etc if you feel comfortable with me doing so.

About: Hi, I’m Judith! I have had a deep love for animals my whole life. Their care and wellbeing have always given me great joy to participate in. I treat you fur babes with the utmost care, understanding, and respect. ♥️ With over 20 years of experience in pet care, dog/cat walking, animal sitting, bird, reptile, and senior pet support, I bring deep compassion, responsibility, and joy to every pet I care for. Animals have always been at the heart of my life, from raising my own rescues to fostering for local shelters and volunteering for a Pit Bull rescue in Los Angeles for five years. I'm currently working on my children's books series and building a company around the books and characters. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. Plenty of time for all of your animals and fury friends. I have a fully fenced yard which is super secure, I have one 5 year old dog babe Star and 2 kittens Sox and Lucky who get along with everyone and dogs. We have a house with multiple floors so if your friends need space there can be total separation. Otherwise all are fur babes get along and play nice with others. In your home, I follow your house rules, take notes for detailed care instructions and follow your animals schedule. I also give all the love, cuddles, and playtime needed.❤️

“Elke is the best, and a true animal lover. She took such great care of our emotionally needy mainecoon and sent the best pictures each day. When we came home everything was in perfect order and our cat didn't seem nearly as stressed as he sometimes can get when we're away for a week. We would happily welcome back Elke any time!”

About: I have been a pet owner since I was a child (cats, dogs, hamsters, etc.) and I have a certification in Animal Massage Therapy. I am patient and caring toward all furry friends! I am very comfortable with practicing obedience commands (as parents wish) and have a strong intuition for an animal's wants and needs. I am currently working part time and am home a lot. I have two dogs and a cat of my own that get all of the pets, walks, and yard time they need. Our pets are like our children, and are a priority in our day-to-day. I am adaptable to whatever the client/animal requires. At my home: the yard is fully fenced, and I live next to a city park for ample outdoor time. We have our two dogs to play with and room inside for toy/treat time. Plus lots of comfortable spaces for naps! At a client's home: I will take my cues off of the owners and the dog that is in their own space. I'm also happy to do any cleaning :)

About: I have had a dog since I was a child who unfortunately died of old age. I love all pets and can’t get enough of them. To me, it’s more than a job, it’ll be a delight to host your pet at my home I work remotely most of the week and usually am home 24/7. I will be a great accommodater to most of your schedule needs, and your reliable support when you need to be out of town! Dogs are allowed on most furnitures, cats are allowed in bed if they wish! I am a great communicator and will send you photos periodically to ensure your knowledge on the whereabouts of your pet!

About: Hi there, my name is Sarah and I love taking care of small dogs and cats! **I require all new clients to book a 1-2 day trial stay before booking more than a 5+ boarding stay in our home. I do not accept last minute requests for new clients, but will accept last minute requests for my regular clients at this time.** I have prior experience with taking care of two toy breed yorkshire terriers growing up and have always been a dependable and reliable caregiver for friends and family that own small dogs and also cats. I had my own fur baby 5lb pomeranian pup that I raised her from being a puppy until she was four years old and she passed away in 2023 due to MUE. She was the love of my life. 🌈 😔 As an ex-puppy mom, I miss having to take care of my own and would love to spend time with your pet and treat them with lots of attention, cuddles and playtime. If my requirements seem strict, it’s because I genuinely adore small dogs and want to ensure they are comfortable, supported, and thriving during their stay with us. As a former dog owner, I know firsthand the anxiety of leaving your beloved pet with someone else, and I want to put your mind at ease by making sure we're the perfect match for your pup before committing to extended boarding. If you’re a dog parent who truly cares about your pet’s well-being and quality of stay, I hope this message resonates with you. I’m committed to building strong relationships with pet parents who value their dog's happiness and want a reliable sitter who follows instructions and maintains a consistent home routine to help ease any anxiety. During the week day I work a part time position outside of my home and only can do dog boarding on the weekends. Given my schedule, I’m unable to provide constant care for elderly or high-needs dogs at this time. However, I'm more than happy to shower your dog with love and attention by playing with their favorite toys and taking them on evening walks. Since I'm an illustrator, I often have virtual meetings and design work to handle during the day, so I can only accommodate dogs that are calm and low-maintenance. In the evenings, my husband and I wind down by watching a show and heading to bed by 10 p.m. as he leaves for work at 5 a.m. I require meet and greets where we can go over care instructions and ensure your pet is friendly and well-behaved and house trained. I do send out an intake form that I require to be filled out prior to our meet and greet. Here is a breakdown of my services I currently offer and what you can expect during your pet’s visit: Each visit I provide 4-12 photos and 1-2 videos. Boarding: Ideal for 1 animal under 10lb, my home offers a fully fenced yard in the back and a partially fenced yard in the front for potty breaks. I require all dogs to have been crate trained and require all dogs to have a crate of their own or a small space or bed when they stay at our house. We do not supply any pet beds or crates and do not have stairs to go on the couch nor in our home. My husband and I have no children or pets and live in a 1-story 800 sq ft rambler style home. We have lots of rugs since we have wood floors and a cozy fireplace to lay next to during the winter. In the afternoon and evenings, me and/or my husband are home to ensure your furbaby gets lots of cuddles, affection and playtime including playing with their favorite toy, fetch, and going on evening walks. Please ensure your pet is up-to-date on all of their vaccinations, treated for fleas/tick prevention before arriving. 30 minute Drop-in Visits: Ideal for 1-2 animals, in this time I will put out fresh food and water, potty breaks, and spend the rest of the time offering cuddles, affection and lots of playtime with your furbaby. 60 minute Drop-in Visits: Ideal for 1-2 animals, in this time I will put out fresh food and water, potty breaks, clean litter boxes, and ensuring lots of affection, cuddles and playtime. If you have any special requests I’m happy to accommodate 😊 If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to ask!

About: I have been taking care of and living with dogs and cats of every kind since I was 11 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets for many years. I believe every animal has a right to a caring and healthy environment where they can thrive and live their best life no matter what age, size or special needs they may have. I have taken puppy training course and will be happy to help teach your puppy manners. Also, I have experience giving senior pets medications and special care in their older years. I can administer first aid in every minor or major situation as needed. I work full time as an accountant but Thursday and Fridays work from home and I am available to care for your fur-baby those days through the weekend. I am very hands on and will show your pet a great deal of physical and emotional love. I have a fully fenced and large back yard for running around, with two friendly pups of my own to play with your baby. I have experience crating dogs and cats as well as letting house broken pets discover and roam around my pet safe home.

“Becca and Jonathan were amazing! Not only were their pictures of our cats adorable, they had great attention to detail. They asked great questions when we were doing our initial meet up, which relieved us - they knew what questions to ask! The followed our written instructions to a tee. They arrived both days on time, feed and played with our cats and cycled our litter. They genuine passion to do-it-right, made it so our time away was awesome.”

About: 💬 What You Can Expect from Me I treat your pets like I treat my own—with love, respect, and care. You can count on me to follow instructions closely, communicate clearly, and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. 🐶 Dog & Puppy Care I’ve grown up with dogs and have always been the go-to sitter for friends, family, and their referrals. I’m confident caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I also have experience with puppies, including leash training, potty training, teething, and helping them learn basic routines. I take a calm, patient approach and love helping dogs feel safe, understood, and well cared for. 🐱 Cat & Kitten Care My rescue cat started out skittish but eventually became super affectionate—he taught me a lot about building trust and reading feline behavior. Aside from my own cats, I’ve also cared for cats and kittens through years of pet sitting for friends and their referrals. I’m gentle, consistent, and mindful in giving each cat the space, structure, and care they need. 🐕‍🦺 Medical & Special Needs I’ve cared for several pets with medical and behavioral/emotional needs like separation anxiety. I’m experienced giving pills, liquid meds (with a syringe), topical treatments, and ear/eye drops. For pets who experience separation anxiety like my rescue kitty, I create a calm, consistent environment and identify & insure any comfort items they may have are accessible so your pets feel secure while you’re away. 🐾 Senior Pet Support Older pets hold a special place in my heart. I’m gentle, patient, and happy to follow your pet’s comfort routines—whether that’s medication schedules, slow walks, or just being nearby when they need. 🦔 Exotic Pet Care I also have experience with small exotic pets like hedgehogs and hermit crabs. I’m detail-oriented, gentle, and happy to follow any special care routines or habitat needs. 🏡 Multi-Pet Care I’m great at balancing care for pets with different needs—whether one’s high-energy and the other’s more low-key, I make sure everyone gets the right attention, routine, and love. Weekdays are typically pretty open for me, and I always keep my calendar updated to accurately reflect any changes as I schedule services throughout the month. On weekends, I work Saturdays (12–6pm) and Sundays (7am–2pm), but I’m still available for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting outside of those hours. If your pet needs more full-time care, I can often switch shifts—especially for longer stays! I care for every pet and home with the same love and attention I give my own. I do my best to keep your pet’s routine familiar and their environment calm and cozy. I’ll always follow your house rules, respect your space, and make sure everything’s safe and secure before I leave. And of course, I’ll keep you updated so you can feel totally at ease while you’re away.

“Caitlin was great! Consistent, sent lots of pictures, communicated very clearly, and was upfront and flexible when I needed to make changes due to weather affecting our travel plans. Thanks, Caitlin!”

About: I’ve been around and lived with pets almost all of my life — I’ve had lizards, fish, dogs, and more recently have been caring for my partner’s cat. I’m communicate, detailed oriented, and clean. L I work a mix of part time jobs, some of which start in the early morning, but most typically I get to set my schedule on a weekly basis. Therefore I get to organize my schedule to align with a pets routine and needs. I care for pets first by paying attention to them, noticing their patterns and behavior, to make sure they’re getting what they need. By paying attention to their visible needs and then following the instructions left by the client, I do my best to maintain a sense of consistency and normalcy for them. When I care for a clients pet, I organize my schedule and routine around the pets routine — it’s easier for my schedule to adjust than theirs. They deserve a feeling of safety and consistency, and so does the client.
