Pet Sitting in 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.

“Victoria was so good with our cat Croissant. We could see that our cat loves her. She took care to send us updates with photos every day. We are so glad that we left him in such good hands during our vacation. Would absolutely recommend her without a doubt!”

About: I’m a former dog owner and lifelong dog lover. Experienced with dogs of all sizes. Reliable, caring, and attentive, I’ll treat your dog like family. Pet care fits easily into my flexible schedule. I have lots of free time, reliable transportation, and can adapt to your pet’s needs anytime anywhere. When caring for your dog in your home, I follow your routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I respect their habits, schedule, and preferences to ensure consistency, safety, and peace of mind.

About: We have had pets of our own for the last 30 years. We have taken care of our family’s and neighbors’ pets for the last 12 years. We have a two storey house with a fenced yard and two dogs of our own to keep your pets company. We will take care of our friend as a part of our family!!

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.

“Katerine was extremelly helpfull with Stella. Stella was very happy when we came back. She is reliable, nice, trustworthy and good with dogs :)”

I ensure pets of all ages receive the best attention and offer personalized care, tailoring activities to each pet's needs. I am known for my reliability and trustworthiness. Plus, my flexible scheduling accommodates both short-notice and regular appointments. During the summers, when I have full-time availability, pet care becomes my primary focus. I dedicate my days to ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need to thrive. With flexible scheduling and ample time on my hands, I can accommodate various needs and preferences, from extended walks to extra playtime sessions. As a full-time student during the fall and winter, my availability changes. Despite academic commitments, I prioritize pet care during these times, ensuring that pets continue to receive the same level of attention and affection. Evenings are perfect for leisurely walks and quality bonding time, while weekends allow for more extended adventures and outings. Rest assured, my dedication to reliable and trustworthy pet care remains unwavering throughout the year, adapting seamlessly to accommodate both academic and pet care responsibilities. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I prioritize creating a comfortable and familiar environment for their beloved companions. I begin by familiarizing myself with the pet's routine, preferences, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. This ensures a seamless transition and minimizes stress for the pet. Throughout my time in the client's home, I maintain open communication with the owner, providing regular updates and photos to keep them informed and reassured. I adhere closely to the pet's feeding schedule, ensuring they receive proper nutrition and any necessary medications as instructed. Daily exercise and playtime are integral parts of my care routine, tailored to the pet's age, breed, and energy level. Whether it's a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or an energetic game of fetch in the backyard, I ensure pets receive the physical activity they need to stay happy and healthy. In addition to physical care, I offer companionship and emotional support, spending quality time bonding with the pet through cuddles, grooming, and positive reinforcement. I respect the client's home and property, maintaining cleanliness and security throughout my stay. Ultimately, my goal is to provide reliable, compassionate, and personalized care that meets the unique needs of each pet and gives owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands while they're away.

“Jess and Erik were absolutely amazing caregivers to our cat. They were extremely communicative, sent updates with photos and left a thorough report for us after each visit. Before booking, they asked all pertinent questions to make sure to provide the best care and attention for our cat. You can really tell they love animals and go above and beyond to ensure we (the owners) are comfortable and the animal feels secure and happy. Thank you so much, would definitely recommend this couple to care for your pets while you are away!”

About: I have grown up my entire life with several different kinds of animals and breeds. I’ve had cats, fish, dogs (big and small), and even a hermit crab. I have also taken horseback riding lessons and still ride leisurely when I have the time. I have friends and family who own farms and have asked me to help them around while they have been on vacation, therefore I have been with many different kinds of animals. I am a full time dental hygiene student who would love to find a flexible schedule to work and spend my free time with animals on a regular basis. Feeding my pets, cleaning the cat litter. I’ve had dogs in the past- big and small including a Labrador, Border Collie and a Yorkshire Terrier which I would walk. I’ve also taken care of my family’s two Saint Bernard Dogs while they have gone on vacation.

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).

“Iulia is clearly very capable with dogs. I hired her because I want Cocoa to stay calm when greeting visitors. Iulia knew exactly how to stand and how to respond to Cocoa. I will definitely call on her again.”
