“Callaway is very communicative and easy to work with. Unfortunately my cat was not very nice to her (unforeseen) and she took it in stride with so much gracious understanding.”

Julie J.

“Gypsie and Robby were great! My cat needed checked on once a day while I was on vacation. They were always on time, spent quality time with my kitty and sent multiple pictures!”

About: I bring a lifetime of experience in caring for animals and live on 10 acres of wooded pastures with 3 horses, dogs, cats, and a house rabbit. My personal pack of four rescue dogs get along well with any new dog I introduce to the family. I have been fostering dogs for a local rescue organization for several years, gaining hands-on experience with many breeds and ages of dogs. I specialize in puppy care and training and have successfully provided basic training and care for numerous foster dogs. I have experience caring for elderly dogs and am skilled in giving medication and insulin. This is an all inclusive experience for dogs! Here your dog will enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor playtime in my private dog park which offers a peaceful setting away from any traffic noise. This is true farm privacy with a ten acre buffer and plenty of natural enrichment including a natural creek, pond, and wooded pastures. Dogs will have opportunities to participate in activities like sniff walks, barn exploring, and pack walks. For puppies I keep them on a schedule for potty training, socializing, and naps. Additionally, I have a dedicated small dog area and small dogs get to enjoy couch time in the evenings! All activities are included for the boarding price. If you desire an exit bath before your dog goes home please let me know. 🐾 I enjoy working on agility training with one of my dogs who is very athletic and to expand my training knowledge, I continue to work with local dog trainers. Beyond my work with animals, I raised two children and dedicated 18 years to volunteering in our local school district, where I passed multiple background checks and supported various programs and events in schools and classrooms. My property is quiet and away from any traffic yet located just a mile from a major highway making it easy to get to for drop off and pick up! I am home everyday and spend most of my time with the animals in my care. I am happy to be flexible on timing for drop off or pick up windows and can pop in for drop in visits to give you a helping hand. In my home pets will be fed twice a day and have off leash time to relax or play with friends. If they are crate trained they will have their own crate to retreat to and dog beds to rest on. My dogs enjoy meeting new friends and provide a comforting pack to show new dogs the ropes. Outside, I always work on name recall with new dogs on leash and when they get to know me they will have supervised off leash time. Additionally, your dog may enjoy a walk to our horse barn and discover a world of sensory enrichment for their nose! In your home I can play with and feed your kitty or your pups and provide any care they need and can feed on the schedule that you request.

“Elora was great with my two feisty kitties. I have one very persnickety cat and she was able to interact with him with no issues. He even took treats directly from her. She left my place clean and sat and played with them the whole 30 mins. Would definitely book again”

“Thank you so much Lindsay!! I really appreciate your special care and attention to our cats while we were away! It was such a comfort to see pictures and read your notes after each visit! Will definitely rebook and recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was 20. My first cat, Taepung, a Persian, is now 13 years old, and my second, Ogu, an 11-year-old domestic shorthair, has also been with me for many years. Though they’re now back in Korea with my family, I have years of experience in understanding what makes cats feel comfortable and happy. I know how to approach each cat's unique personality and have a knack for creating a calm, fun, and friendly environment. Whether it’s playing with toys, offering gentle companionship, or respecting their need for space, I love making sure every cat feels safe and content. I look forward to meeting and caring for your feline friends! This is my only job at the moment, so I'm very flexible in regards to my schedule. I am available anytime for your furry friends! I pay close attention to all instructions provided by each client, ensuring I’m aware of any specific needs or preferences for their cats. I understand that cats may be startled by a new visitor at first, so I approach my responsibilities—cleaning the litter box, feeding, and playtime—with care to help them feel less stressed over time. My goal is to make each visit as calm and comfortable as possible for them.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs for 50 years. I’ve used sitters for my pets and know how important they are when you leave. My dog was so sad to see my suitcase. So I know how much attention they need to feel better. Our pets are part of the family and need time and attention, and that’s how can help. I am currently retired and for the first time in my life animal free. So I am looking to help others and enjoy time with the pets. I can drive and be at your home as needed. I am comfortable walking your dog for a distance. And of course petting the cats and dogs properly comes from years of practice.

About: I have always had some kind of pet growing up and am so happy with that fact! Whether it be bird, turtle, fish, hamster, or more cats and dogs than I can count I have either owned them or taken care of them. I have experience with all walks of life from fresh to life to the could retire in human years stages. I also have experience in keeping to medication schedules and working around allergies and diets during mealtimes. I also have worked with highly-reactive dogs and am more than willing to put in the time and effort so they are comfortable with me as well as have the skills to help them work through stressful moments. I absolutely cannot wait to meet your pets and help you support them as best I can. I currently work several seasonal jobs so I am super available during the off seasons. I am open for walks or check-ins from 10am-6pm Tuesdays-Sundays and I am available for house sitting on a short notice. I always make sure that your pet’s safety and care is my top priority. For walks I love sticking to areas around the house the pet is already comfortable in or if you and the pet are ok with it going on a bit of an adventure in my car to a local dog park or walking area. If I am staying at your house I always aim to stick to the animals normal schedule, including mealtimes and walk times, to ensure that they are disrupted as little as possible and still feel safe.

“Yin-Ling was very good to Monet. Monet is a very friendly cat to others when we are with her but very reserved and a little guarded when we are not home. Yin-Ling was very patient with Monet and she warmed up to her well. Yin cared of Monet and always texted to update us with photos. I will definitely book her again and again.”

“It was a great experience all the way around for me and my cat.”

“Sophia was just what we needed! We were gone traveling for over three weeks, and our two kitties do not do well in a kennel. Sophia provided overnight care, food, litter box cleaning, and the love our kitties needed, and brought in our mail, etc. She sent pictures along the way of cuddling and playing kittens, and arrived home to happy and well cared for cats and a clean home. Thanks, Sophia, can't wait to have you stay again. <3”

“Cindy was great, very communicative and took great care of my cat! Thanks again!”

Jennifer S.

“Thanks, Sarah, for taking our request at the last minute before Labor Day! You are bright, very caring, professional and so easy to work with. My cat needs medication twice a day and some extra care that we put together in a long list. Sarah took care of everything, and communicated with us when unexpected things came up. Most importantly, my cat was so happy when we arrived home and definitely enjoyed all the love and pets from you :)”

About: Hello I go by Clover! I have worked at a pets hotel for a couple years where I was trained by people who have been in the field for many years. I enjoy the work and most important I love dogs. I don't work currently so I have plenty of time for your pets. I'm usually free all days, however Sundays are not available for me in most cases. Just ask about sunday's! I treat pets the same way I would treat a person: with respect. I try to provide positive solutions to any problems instead of ignoring the issue or worst reacting negatively which in turn may cause a pet to react the same.

About: I'm a Bothell-based creative currently working as a cat sitter with Whiskers at Home, where I've completed extensive in-person and virtual training, including Feline Fundamentals and a Fear Free Pet Sitter Certification that covers both cats and dogs. While I'm a cat person at heart, I fell in love with dogs when my sister got a puppy over two years ago. I live close by, and her doggy Luna has become my best friend. I take her on daily walks, spoil her with love and treats, and have made many furry friends around the neighborhood thanks to her, always ready for pets and playdates. Those walks have taught me to read a dog's body language and to know when a pup needs a break or a drink of water. I've also befriended local outdoor cats, much to my own glee! I love going on long walks, letting dogs be dogs, with plenty of time for sniffs and enrichment. I'm comfortable with leashes and harnesses, feedings, potty breaks, and playtime. I'm also happy to give medication in food, and I'm open to other kinds case by case after the pet parent shows me how, with my Fear Free training to draw on. I send photo and message updates after every visit and will always keep your house keys secure. I've also had pet rats, fish, and have cared for guinea pigs and hamsters in the past. I'm excited to bring this same spirit to the pets and families of Rover in Bothell, Kirkland, and neighboring areas. I'd be happy to start with a meet and greet, so your pet and I can get to know each other! My schedule is very flexible, with my Whiskers at Home role being part-time. I'm open during the week, weekends, and holidays. I’m a graphic designer by trade and do freelance work on a flexible schedule. I’d love to build bonds with neighborhood pets, growing my pet sitting services and skills. I’m available for walks while pet parents are at work, for kitty feedings and enriching playtime, and everything in between! :) I take animal safety very seriously and prioritize it in every interaction. I'm happy to come to your home for visits and walks, and I'll meet your pet's needs for low stress and comfortable experiences. Overnights are also an option once I've met your pet and we've built a routine that works for them. I will always follow your instructions, monitor pets closely, and make sure they’re happy and secure at all times. For ease of mind, I have a Fear Free Pet Sitter Certification, along with Feline Fundamentals training, so my main focus is ensuring your pet is as fear-, anxiety-, and stress-free as possible while providing attentive care.

“Shawn was great to have care for our cat while we were out of town. She was reliable, communicative, and felt she cared for our kitty like it was her own!”
