Pet Sitting Columbia Heights West

“Thank you for being so patient with our dog and working with her to get a good routine going. Everything was handled with care and professionalism. Accidents were cleaned and the house left in great condition when we returned. Highly recommend!”

About: I have a Chihuahua Yorkie mix and a Schnauzer mix so I am very familiar with high energy dogs and I will give your dog the attention they need! I really enjoy training with dogs and can reinforce or begin any training that you would like me to! I have experience training dog agility, nose work, fun attention games, and many different positive reinforcement techniques for different dogs. One of our dogs is anxious and reactive, so I am very familiar with avoiding triggers, counter conditioning, and have taken classes on managing reactivity! Our other dog is a tripod, and became so through multiple surgeries while we had him, so I have experience working with dogs with different mobility needs and during surgery as well. I love to spend my nights and weekends cuddled on the couch with dogs or walking around new places, and I'll happily incorporate your dog into whichever they prefer, or both! I have a flexible part time job, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to walking, playing with, or cuddling your dogs just like I would mine! I prefer to take care of your dog in their known environment so that they can stay comfortable. I will do my best to stick as closely to your routines as possible so that they know what to expect. However, we will add some fun, so that they have a great vacation too!

“Lisa took excellent care of our 4 cats and followed our instructions perfectly. It’s clear from the photos that she got them each to warm up to her quickly and spent quality time with them. Definitely recommend!”

About: I've taken care of animals since I was a kid. Ever since I can remember there have always been pets and animals in and around my family. My family had dogs and cats growing up, I've also had fish, turtles, and geckos. I have some experience (not certified) in dog training, as I trained my current dog with my brother. I am comfortable with dogs of any size, having grown up around larger breeds. I currently work in the evenings, except for Tuesdays and Saturdays. This leaves me free in the mornings and afternoons to walk and take care of pets. I make sure I have all the information I need about whoever I'm looking after. I ask for the owner's preferences with types of walks, length, play, treats, etc. I report any potential issues with the pets to the owners.

“WOW! Aimee took such great care of our kitty while we were away. She came for multiple daily visits and sent detailed updates with great photos. She truly went above and beyond our expectations to make sure our cat was well taken care of and I felt so much better knowing Aimee was there for her. I will absolutely be using Aimee for any future travel.”

“Spencer and Julia kept me posted throughout the weekend, provided several pictures, and spent a lot of quality time with my cat. Really appreciate their help and communication, and would recommend them to others.”

Aandal S.

“Thank you for everything! You’ve been so great with Rosie and I appreciate your pictures, videos, and detailed summary of the visit. I would definitely have you back.”

“Amie dropped in to play with our two golden retrievers (one puppy and one 4-year old). I would absolutely recommend her to take care of your pups!”

Thomas S.

“Ajia is professional and communicative. I have two cats who aren’t always the easiest to deal with and have complicated medication, however Ajia handled them with ease. She also has managed to be in good graces with my oldest cat who is notoriously moody. I felt that my cats were in good hands.”

“Leaving our kitten alone for the first time could’ve been a nerve racking experience but we knew she was in good hands with Greta. Greta is extremely kind and thoughtful as well as professional. She’s very good with kittens and went the extra mile to make sure we knew how our loved one was doing while we were gone. I highly recommend booking Greta and will definitely use her again if need be.”

“Hawani was a life saver! I booked her last minute and she was able to go check on my pup. Little did she know what she was going to walk into! My escape artist got out of his cage and unfortunately pooped around my apartment. Hawani was kind enough to send me updates immediately when she got into my place. And was kind enough to clean up after him even though I told her it was okay! She was also very understanding stating she understood (as he is still a pup). Throughout her booking she kept me updated and was very thorough about taking care of him! Sent me photos and videos. She also was helpful to make sure he was fully secure in his crate as he got out before she arrived. Highly recommend! Thank you Hawani!”

Karley R.

“I cannot stress how much Jocelyn literally takes the weight off my shoulders. I could not ask for a better person to check on my kitties while I am out of town. A certified life saver.”

Victoria S.

“Dominique is amazing. He looked after our three legged dog during the Christmas holidays, visiting three times a day. He understands and cares about dogs with special needs. Highly recommended!”

Stuart B.

“Monica was great with our cats during a recent trip away! She worked to make sure our cats were comfortable during her visits and did a great job of updating us after her drop-ins. Would recommend her to help with your pets when you need care!”

Lacey P.

“Emily was wonderful taking care of our fur kids while we were busy with our wedding weekend! She sent photos and kept us updated on our babies. Thank you SO much Emily!!”

Karina R.

“Tara was very responsive and responsible. She took great care of my rabbit, snowflake and left a detailed report. I will definitely ask her to sit for snowflake again.”

Patrick B.

“Shannon did a great job of taking care of our puppy! This was our first time leaving him, and Shannon was very communicative throughout the visit to put our mind at ease.”

Becky R.

“Ann was so great with our 1 year old pup Poppy! She sent cute photos and kept me updated throughout the visit. Poppy looks forward to seeing her again!”
