About: Caring for dogs of all energy types is my specialty. I have a knack for maximizing comfort and decreasing anxiety with any breed of dog! I work hybrid from 9-5 each week so I am home most of the work day. My two dogs play and coinhabit well with other dogs and I adapt my morning and nightly routine to exercise with them. I have a single family house with a fenced in back patio/grass area. Outside is always accessible to the dogs and Olympia park is nearby for running and socialization. I adapt to whatever preferences dog owners have for their walks and household routines.
“Ally is great to hire to check in with your pets! She left the space clean, handled my cats’ needs well including oral medication applications, and provide provided pictures at the end of each visit. She is also flexible and responsive and I would highly recommend working with her!”

“They took great care of my dog Frank! Had a last minute issue with boarding arrangements and they stepped right in. Gave me detailed messages and pictures with every visit. Would 100% recommend and will contact them first if the need arises!”


“Natalie did a great job watching my nervous cat Luna! She gave me daily updates on how Luna was warming up to her and included some cute pics. Definitely recommend!”

“Linnea was very responsive and helpful when things did not go exactly to plan. One of my dogs is prone to accidents and she did a good job cleaning those up as they occurred. She also helped when one of my dogs was digging a hole under the fence. She was kind, responsive, and clearly enjoyed spending time with our dogs. She followed instructions well for their care and I can wholeheartedly recommend her for drop in appointments!”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and truly understand their unique needs and personalities. As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust. I love staying active, which means plenty of energy for long walks, playtime, and keeping pups happy. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, or extra care, I’ll treat them like my own I currently WFH but enjoy taking several breaks to walk myself, so would love to bring your pup along to ensure they get the attention they deserve. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep pets safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I respect each home, maintain routines, and give pets plenty of love, exercise, and attention. I’m mindful of doors, leashes, and feeding schedules to ensure they are cared for just like they would be by you.
“Eronda was such a caring and loving person whit my maxis, I’m sure they loved to spend this time whit her. She send me updates and pictures everyday after a walk and I can say they were calm, pampered and very happy. Thank you so much Eronda, there’s no better feeling than to know your furry babies are safe and having some love ❤️.”

“I can’t recommend Lake enough! She has been an absolute lifesaver for us. Every day while I’m at work, she stops by to let my dog out, take him on a nice walk, and give him his lunchtime treats. She even takes care of my cats, which I appreciate more than she knows! She is incredibly caring, detailed, and reliable—the kind of person you feel completely comfortable trusting with your pets and your home. Her knowledge about dogs has been so helpful, too. She even offered recommendations for my pup’s cough, which shows just how attentive and experienced she is. My animals adore her, and so do I! If you’re looking for someone dependable who truly goes above and beyond, look no further.”

About: I love dogs and have experience with many dogs of varying ages and breeds. I grew up with golden retrievers, a dachshund, and a variety of rescue dogs and cats. For the past 12 years I had a Great Dane, Harry, who sadly passed away recently. I raised Harry from the time he was 8 weeks old so we went through the puppy stages, the teenage years, and the golden senior years. So, I’ve seen it all as a dog mom chewing, behavior issues, allergic reactions, accidents, illnesses, etc. I’m well equipped to take care of your pet and handle any challenge that may come up. I’ll care for your pet like he/she is a member of my own family- just like I did with Harry for 12 years. We will go for walks, have playtime, snuggle on the couch- whatever they’re into! I’m very organized, timely, and resourceful. I will work with your schedule and follow any instructions you have for your pet, no matter how specific. I do not have any pets of my own right now and only take 1 client at a time so your pet(s) will be the only pets at our house during their stay. I work full-time from home so have flexibility with pet care needs throughout the day. I can provide bathroom breaks and feedings as needed throughout the day as well as check-ins. I have a fenced in yard (front and back) for the dog to use, but also have plenty of walkable areas around my house. I have no pets of my own right now. At a client’s home I will follow their instructions for yard usage, walks, etc.
“Cori was great! We booked last minute and she was super accommodating. Did everything we asked, communicated very well, and took lots of pictures. She seemed to truly enjoy spending time with our boys which made us really happy. We will use her again!”

“Regan is a wonderful cat sitter! She looked after our 2 1 year old cats for the weekend and was communicative throughout it sending pictures and updates.”

About: I've grown up with dogs and a love for all animals. Although I do not know how to train dogs professionally, I'll be happy to support any training during my visits. I also have a special place in my heart for cats. Their varying personalities and needs call for someone who can love and care for them no matter the circumstances. Besides working with cat care at the animal shelter, I've also had lots of contact with cats through friends, family, and rooommates. If my living situation allowed it, I would most definitely have my own. I currently work at a school during the day throughout the work week - I will be available in the afternoon/evenings as well as weekends. Although I cannot have pets in my own home, I will respect whatever boundaries and rules present at your home! I want both you and your pet to feel as comfortable as possible.
About: I've been caring for dogs since childhood and have always had a dog as an adult. I currently have 2 dogs and the help of the whole family, especially our animal loving and training daughter (I lead all care and activity). Whether it be puppyhood, senior care, or medical issues including special diets and medication, I'm comfortable with a wide range of individualized instructions. I am centrally located in Mt. Washington with the benefits of a fenced-in back yard, a dog park and hiking trails within blocks. Additionally, I take walks every day and our guests are promised to have plenty of opportunities to play and receive attention. I love dogs! Pet care is a part of life each and every day. Times of day are insignificant as pet care happens very early, late at night, and all the time in between as needed. I have a fenced in yard, comfy cushions (and couches although less preferred), and a crate available if that's requested. Dogs are walked daily with one walk somewhere from 1-5 miles and given endless opportunities to play (and learn). I can bathe dogs as well but shy away from grooming. My dogs are fed 2-3 times daily with treats when appropriate; no people food. I personalize all care based on needs and requests.
