Pet Sitting Kirkland

About: I adopted two kittens and a dog, and they lived harmoniously with me for 16 to 18 years. I ensured they were well-behaved by setting clear boundaries with plenty of love. My cats were primarily indoor, but once I trained them not to run, I allowed them outside in the backyard. At the sound of a clap, they would rush back to the patio door, knowing it was time to come inside. My dog, Fendi, was also well-trained from puppyhood. I always made sure they received high-quality, veterinarian-approved food, regular grooming, and plenty of exercise and affection. I gave them a happy, healthy life. My beloved dog, Fendi, passed away on December 26, 2024, after 16 wonderful years together. I miss him more than words can express. Now, I want to offer my services to pet owners, sharing my love and care with other dogs and cats, knowing they’ll be in good hands. I am home based permanently at the moment but will be retiring in a couple of months. I am an empty nester with a lot of free time. I exercise daily and love taking long walks. I give any pet my full attention and interact with them in order to stimulate them intellectually. Naturally this will depend on the dog's character, age and physical ability. I will ensure they get to enjoy the outdoors. I have a large backyard to let the pet roam around. I will carry out any instructions provided by the owners in order to have the dog maintain his routine.

About: I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals — from Retrievers, Shepherds, Weimaraners to Border Collies, Basset Hounds to Rottweilers , Cats, and even my horse. With years of hands-on experience across all ages and personalities, I’m comfortable caring for playful puppies, energetic younger dogs, and sweet seniors who need a slower pace. I take a calm, gentle approach with every dog, reading their cues and meeting them exactly where they are — whether they need confidence, comfort, reassurance, or a little extra patience. I’m also experienced with medication routines and special care instructions, and I always handle those with the same kindness and attentiveness your dog is used to at home. My goal is always the same: to make your dog feel safe, understood, and truly at home. I work during the week, which is why I offer boarding primarily on weekends—when I’m fully available to give your dog the attention, time, and companionship they deserve. My career is flexible, though, so depending on my schedule, I’m also able to offer drop-in visits and walks during the day or in the evenings throughout the week. I always make sure that any service I accept fits comfortably around my work so your dog receives reliable, unrushed, and consistent care. I live in a bungalow with a full basement and a mudroom, so there are very few stairs — perfect for senior dogs or pups with mobility issues. If a dog isn’t comfortable with steps or has joint concerns, I can easily block off or baby-gate the stair areas to keep them safe. My home also has a large, fully fenced yard with plenty of room to play, sniff, and explore. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer time outside, I always stay with the dog — I never leave them out on their own. The yard has minimal steps as well, which is great for dogs who need extra care with mobility. When it comes to sleeping arrangements, I want dogs to feel completely comfortable. They’re welcome to sleep in our room on a cozy dog bed, and if they prefer or are used to a crate, I can set that up as well. Whatever helps them feel safe and settled is what I’ll do. When I’m caring for dogs in a client’s home, I follow their routines and house rules exactly — feeding, walks, bedtime habits, comfort items, and any special instructions. My goal is for their dog to feel relaxed, secure, and cared for in their own familiar environment. No matter where I’m looking after your dog, you can expect safe supervision, attention to detail, a calm atmosphere, and lots of love.

About: Hi! I’m Leanne — a caring, responsible, and trusted pet sitter offering a live-in pet sitting service. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets and home while you’re away! 💕 My service is especially well-suited for pets who: - Experience stress when left alone for extended periods - Need frequent bathroom breaks - Are very social or enjoy constant company - Have special routines or additional care needs ⏰ Your Pet’s Routine Comes First I understand how important consistency is for animals. Whether your pet has specific feeding times, exercise routines, bedtime habits, or medication schedules, I make every effort to follow their routine as closely as possible. Your instructions become my priority, so your pets can feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. 🏡 Caring for Your Home Because I’m on the property for the majority of the time, your home receives an added level of attention while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat your home with the same respect and care I would want for my own. ❤️ A Lifetime of Caring for Animals Animals have always been an important part of my life. My wonderful cat, Archie, taught me how to carefully administer medication and, more importantly, how to become highly attuned to an animal’s needs through body language and non-verbal communication. I had a beloved frog named Fern who lived an incredible 24 years as well. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for how different every animal can be — and how important it is to understand and respect their individual personalities, needs, and routines. 📸 Communication & Peace of Mind While you’re away, I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can see how your pets are doing. I’m also always available by phone or text if you have any questions or simply want to check in (as many times as you want!) Your pets deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away — and that’s exactly what I aim to provide ❤️ I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! - **I’m only able to provide house-sitting services in smoke-free homes. Thank you for understanding! **large dog breeds must be able to walk well on leash - I can handle big dogs but not REACTIVE big dogs I currently work remotely, so have plenty of time to work my schedule around your pets. I am available 7 days week, day and night. I do not currently offer boarding in my home, however safety is my top priority when caring for your animals at your house. I make sure to follow your rules and keep your animals schedule as close to what they are accustomed to.

About: My approach centers on maintaining your pet’s unique routine, from walks and calming companionship. I am experienced in dog training, walking and care, as I’ve had my own dogs to care for for over 30 years! 🐶 💗 I’m available for dog walking/boarding on the weekends for now and in the months of July and August I will be available to walk your dog or board your dog daily! I have a fenced yard and a friendly Shihpoo of my own, so your fur-baby will be in good hands. I do daily walks for 30-60 minutes at a time.

About: I’ve been a pet owner for most of my life and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I’ve cared for my two cats for the past nine years and also previously had a dog, so I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs and understand their different needs and personalities. What sets me apart is that I’m patient, attentive, and dependable. I take the time to follow each pet’s normal routine and their owner’s instructions rather than assuming every animal needs the same type of care. Whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning litter boxes, or simply keeping a pet company while their owner is away, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I can plan my day around scheduled visits, walks, feeding times, or check-ins and make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m also available for both regular weekly care and occasional care when owners are away or need some extra help. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any other instructions provided. Safety is always a priority. I pay close attention to doors, leashes, feeding instructions, and anything else that could affect a pet’s well-being. I also understand that some pets need time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and allow them to approach me at their own pace. My goal is for owners to feel comfortable knowing their pet and home are being treated with care and respect while they’re away.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have a dog and two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I also have professional experience working with animals, which has made me comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, sizes and needs. I’m attentive, patient and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for. My schedule varies throughout the week, but I have availability for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting on select weekdays and weekends. I keep my Rover availability updated so you’ll always be able to see when I’m available to care for your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog at home, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule and care instructions. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take introductions slowly and can keep pets separated when needed. I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, supervision and care while they’re with me.

“Mckenzie and Sami took care of my two cats for three weeks while I was on vacation. They were amazing!! They sent photos after every visit! My cats, who are usually very shy, went right up to them. I came home to two cats in great shape, and I didn’t get the impression they’d missed me at all 🤣 Finally, when we got back, we found a nice note from them and photos of my cats 🥰, and they had cleaned up the areas where the cats spend their time. I highly recommend them, they’re really great!”

About: Current owner of an energetic husky mix (who will still get his daily walks, of course) with a flexible WFH schedule and the drive to help dogs live their best lives. Whether your dog needs attention, food, medicine, walks, playtime or cuddles, I am happy to meet their needs and follow your routines. My schedule is flexible and pet happiness is paramount. I can see them during the day and I am open to discuss other times and days as needed. Each dog is different and I am happy to adjust to their needs. Does your dog need a long walk with lots of sniffing? Done. Would she rather run after a ball in the backyard? No problem! I can walk slowly with senior dogs, or tire out the young ones.

About: I grew up with animals in the home and I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience! I also have the energy levels to keep up with even the highest energy dogs. Aside from a few hours during the week, I work from home. I can adjust my schedule for the most part to ensure every pets needs are met. I live in an apartment with plenty of nearby parks to take them to play. My building is very safe when it comes to other animals being well behaved. I also don't take on multiple pets so your pet will receive all the attention it needs. When I'm pet sitting in your home I like to follow a similar routine to what your pet is used to. In terms of eating, playtime, going to the bathroom etc. That way while you're away they feel more comfortable and safe.

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was 4 years old. I am also a dog groomer, and worked in an animal hospital so animals are my jam! I am available Mondays, and the weekends. I can walk dogs and check in on cats after work as well. We can work together to see how to make it work! I am very vigilant in handling animals and ensuring their safety at every moment. Your animals will be safe with me! As a pet owner I know how important this is to many other owners!

About: Malheureusement je ne peux pas avoir de chiens à la maison, mais j'aime bien les chiens qui ont besoin de bouger. Les chiens qui aiment les grandes marches et qui aiment jouer ne s'ennuieront pas avec moi et seront probablement épuisés avant moi! À l'adolescence, je m'occupais à l'occassion des chiens de 1-2 voisins lorsqu'ils partaient en vacances. Je travaille de la maison 3 jours par semaine, cela peut donc donner plus de flexibilité lors de ces journées. Autre j'essaie de réserver mes week-ends à la famille, donc habituellement moins de disponibilités ces jours-là. J'ai un chat à la maison, qui ne sort dans ma cour cloturée que sous supervision (il est trop peureux de toute façon pour sortir seul).

About: I have volunteered at a veterinary clinic and worked at a doggy daycare where I have learned and had experience handling many different breeds and types of dogs. I am confident in my skills and love being around dogs. I currently own a beagle mix who is about 9 years old and full of energy. He needs lots of exercise, as I'm sure your little one may need as well. So, if your dog needs a little more than a 30-minute walk just let me know. If there is a date or dates that are not available on the calendar but you need someone, please send me a message. I am happy to provide any pictures and/or videos of the walk. If you have any questions please do no hesitate to ask me about anything that may be on your mind. I am taking pets on a case-by-case basis. I am looking for a full-time job but will continue to do this as long as I can. I respect everyone’s home as much as my own. I believe in a clean and safe environment. If you need me to get something from inside I will, if not I will not go past the door (provided that all the pet’s items are nearby).

About: Experienced dog owner skilled in training, walks, stimulating playtime and giving medication.

I currently work hybrid out of my home and office downtown but my schedule is flexible. I can fit week day pet care into my schedule as needed. I have a fenced in yard where my dogs can run and roam. I live in a clean, three story home with lots of light and soft surfaces for animals to sleep and play.
