About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. My experience includes everything from basic training reinforcement to administering medications, managing separation anxiety, and understanding different energy levels and needs. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, patience, and genuine love for animals. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine, so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog needs long walks, slow strolls, or just some good couch cuddles, I’ve got them covered. I work from home most days so am always available to check in and take care of your animals while you’re gone! I love taking time out of my day to get off of my desk job to take a nice walk with your dogs. I have a fenced in backyard with ample space for your dogs to play in! I plan on making sure they’re in a safe environment always by avoiding any dangers that might come on walks.

“She was great at communicating times, my dogs activities and even helped with mail left on the front porch. I would highly recommend her for any doggy needs.”

“Robin is great with the pups and communicates very well.”

Michelle C.

“Patrick was fantastic with our dogs. He was incredibly patient with them and won over our pups who are normally very wary of strangers. He was easy to get a hold of and responded quickly to any messages. Would highly recommend him for your power care needs.”

Chris A.

“Beth is great with Niko! She came over and met him the weekend before and did such a great job making him feel comfortable. After his first walk, Niko was happy and very content. Beth is super flexible and great to work with!”

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.❤️

“You are awesome. Billy loves you.”

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine care for pets and homes. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Communication is key, so I provide regular updates with photos and messages for peace of mind. Whether it’s caring for pets, keeping a home secure, or handling special requests, I bring a trustworthy and professional approach to every booking. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life, and I bring that same dedication to every pet I look after. I start my mornings making sure pets are fed, walked, and cared for before heading to work in downtown Seattle (8 AM - 5 PM). After work, I go straight home to provide evening walks, meals, and attention. Since I have a car, I can easily travel to clients’ homes when needed. On weekends, I’m usually free all day, making me available for more flexible pet care. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine, ensuring they feel secure in their familiar environment. I respect the owner’s guidelines, keep the home tidy, and provide regular updates for peace of mind. My experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful kittens to senior pets needing extra attention, allows me to adapt to each animal’s unique needs. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

About: I would love to have doggy guests at my home by the lake for fun days and lake walks. I have had giant dogs, 160 lbs Newfoundland and a chow Rottweiler mix so I'm comfortable having larger breed doggy guests too if they are well behaved! I also have dog sat a few dogs with my ex boyfriend as he had a few clients, even a dog just had a surgery and with specific guidelines and medication schedule so I feel comfortable with the whole process. Case by case, I will stay and watch your Pups at your home where they are comfortable or have them here at my house, take them for lake strolls and chillax back at my home together. I have no animals currently and I do miss having them around. Hope to meet up for win win situation for all of us! ** note** This summer time has been crazy with inquiries for a while- and with my outdoor adventures, and with me starting a new editorial styling position soon and everything else, I was overwhelmed by requests and doggy guests at times, I apologize if I somehow missed getting back for a time! I love my doggy guests and I will try to reply as I can! Thank you and hope to meet you and your pups soon! Xx yukako. ** About this sitter: I love animals, dogs, cats, especially, but due to my freelance work and potential travels, I can't have one of my own. However, I miss my time with beloved furry friends! I just heard from my friend about Rover and I realize how perfect it is. I house sat a few dogs with my ex boyfriend as he had a few clients- and helped and took pups to lake walks, outdoor hiking, etc. and even cared for a dog just had a surgery and had to give them medications so I feel comfortable and familiar with following your care guide and schedule for your dog and have a happy fun time with them while you are away. I have had a 160 lbs Newfoundland and a mischievous chow mix myself and I do miss the doggy presence in my life. I would love to meet and greet to make sure we are all comfortable and would love to develop a happy dog caring relationship with you and the pup! I would also be comfortable to board/ take care of your dog case by case, at my lake view home- just convenient for lake strolls with your pups! Hope to have a happy furry meeting that works great for both of us! Why I love dog sitting I had my Sven the newfoundland for 9 years and Timber the Chow Rottweiler for 5 years. I raised Sven sice he was a 7 week old black ball of fuzz with giant paws to fully grown giant shedding drooling goofball at 160 LBS! He was such a mellow goofy dog that made our newly built at the time home a barn quickly with amazing amount of fur he shed and of course the beethoven style shaking off the rain and drool as soon as he came inside, but he was really like my furry child to me and He slept with us taking over a substantial area on our king size bed. Timber was a rescue and a smart mischievous one, bossing Sven around then totally kissing my butt..lol Dogs are really like having furry kids.. I do miss having them, but it is hard to have a large dog in a city, especially if you rent and travel for work or family months at a time. I'm a freelace photo stylist so it varies how busy I am depending on time of the year, and I try to visit my family in Tokyo too. Our first guest here was our friend's Basset hound Harley and since then This place has hosted a few doggy guests. I love having dog friends when I can and I'm home. I will understand how your dogs are your furry children and would love to take good care of them and pamper them. About my yard No back yard. Front yard where furry guests can hang out if he or she chooses to be outside with a leash. There is a small hiking trail down the street from my place so most likely I would take them there or the lake which pretty much is in front of the house, go have a nice walk and play then come home to relax inside. My experience administering medication Yes. I watched a dog just had a ligament surgery a few days before with my ex recently and they left a detailed medication schedule. As long as there are clear instructions, information, and emergency contacts, I would feel comfortable. It would be a case by case basis and I would like to meet both the dog and you the owner to see if I feel comfortable with the situation first, of course :) I have been a freelance photo stylist for nearly 20 years- my dates are flexible and I do work from home mostly as of late- furry guests are welcome and much loved company as I enjoy taking them to parks, beaches, trails etc. It is just a very natural fit for my life preferences :)) My place is the bottom floor of a big old farm house converted into triplex- so I have a small front yard I enjoy gardening and easy to take doggy guests out on a leash quickly as needed- there’s a nice trail down the street, lake WA is across the street, and a play field next door. I enjoy taking them to parks, beaches, on my kayak, camping, hiking etc etc. I love nature and animals. That’s truly one of my life long passion and calling! I’m really happy/ get excited to hang out with and take care of all different kinds of animal buddies 💗🤓 I’m a freelance photo stylist with varying schedules week by week- I only book doggy guests when I’m not too busy/ working from home :) My love for animal buds and working with them seem to be just getting stronger and I'm focusing more and more on training adpects after 12 plus years caring for them on and off Rover :))) I have recently gone through a dog training intensive to learn different ways of training pups as needed. I'm in the process of getting a few more certifications, but I do need to listen to my guts too as working with animals are not cookie cutter situations. My basic approach is still intuition based, listening to them, see what they enjoy/ like for the training motivation and have fun with them first and foremost. I'm kind of like a spoiling doting Nana combined with basic obedience training on an as-needed basis. I believe in their individual character’s free will and that's something I care greatly about. I tried to learn speed training methods too, but it's definitely not for me. My strengths are patience, love, care, listening, bonding with each pup first then establishing firm boundaries or desired outcome by reperitions. I have learned all the classic and operant conditioning methods, but I do not have any desire to create robot-like pups who are perfectly obedient to the needs of humans. I care about them first and foremost. I would love to help if I can to aid in shifting problematic behaviors, for the pups and their parents for improved happy day-to-day life :) Please lmk if interested in more details at the meet and greet :)) We can discuss possibilities when we meet in person. I do energy work too- have taken Reiki certification and what have you haha, as I feel their energy patterns and characteristics in person and possible problematic habits that developed unknowingly by their environments too. It's easier to spot that objectively as a third person too :)) My hope is to reduce problems and help aid in a happy less stressful life for the fur buds and their parents. I do think the method of board and train is quite effective- so I can discuss the contents of added possible training as I board the pups for your travel needs etc. Thank you for reading and looking forward to meeting you and your pups! 🧡🐶🐾 Xxoo Yukako. 💖😊 I typically take doggy guests to the nearby trail first thing in the morning when I get up- that’s about 1-2 miles. Then breakfast together, then I do my work etc. while they nap- then in the afternoon/ early eve, I take them to dog parks or fields or another trails etc. Then we have dinner- then we all usually relax :)) I take them out one more time before bed, wipe their paws, take their harnesses off and they sleep where they choose- some next to me, some on the couch, doggy guest beds, or their own bed or some like their crates. I usually book stays when I’m not super busy with work, and doggy guests usually come with me everywhere I go- back seat of my car is set up like a crate- with a divider, blanket, toys and bones- they usually like napping there after running around- and I try to do that so they just want to nap anyways- If I have errands or appos or short shoot day or going to a farm to care for horses, max they will be left would be 3-4 hours if that :)) Most of the time I like to operate like a temporary pack going everywhere together :)

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: Life has always meant enjoying dog relationships. Dogs visiting here at Twin Spruce Cottage are treated as if they are my own, enjoying a home setting & an attentive human. I was raised to understand dog behavior and to be comfortable around all types of dogs. Our last dog was 110 lbs of gorgeous (& alpha) Flatcoated English Retreiver. He passed at 14 with bone cancer. Now retired full time, I volunteer with dogs when I have the opportunity. I understand how to identify dog behaviors & work with them. I was a volunteer at a canine rescue program from 2001 through 2016, working both in the facility and fostering dogs who were waiting placement. I am capable of handling all sizes of dogs & willing to adjust to the individual needs of any dog. I have a dog friendly yard and do walks each day to keep them busy. There are comfy, upholstered large dog beds to lounge on and toys for play. I also am available for dog walking near me in Skyway WA. Unfortunately, dogs which require medication be given are not accepted. I am retiree who walks daily ~ without my own dog these days. Dog walks are provided in daylight hours and are available Tuesday > Friday as arranged with owners. Other times/days by special arrangement. For daycare & boarding I have a fenced yard which is dog friendly with room to run, lots of shade trees & some artificial turf developed for dogs. When in the house no dogs on furniture or beds but comfy dog beds are waiting. Limited number of daycare openings.

“good with a big energetic dog”

About: I have been sitting dogs and cats since I was old enough to have a phone. Also I am currently working on getting a training certificate and would love to help reinforce any of your commands. My current dog is 100lbs so I'm comfortable with all sizes I am currently doing intake for a new job, so have free time all week long to take care of your babies at home or away. I have a large yard fenced in my 4ft fencing and a gentile older dog to keep yours company. On walks I stick to roads and parks I know. Unless requested I avoid dog parks for the safety of your dog, but know some popular paths for socializing.

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.
