House Sitting in Crown Hill, Seattle

“This is our second time working with Justin! He was available, easy to communicate with before, during and after his stay with our dogs. The dogs were relaxed and happy when we returned home & so were we! Highly recommend Justin!”

“Ami is great! It was the first time I was away from my puppy so I figured my puppy would be nervous. Ami sent pics of my puppy playing and having a great time which was so reassuring to see. Highly recommend Ami! I’m booking her again for next weekend.”

“Theresa responded to a same-day emergency request. Without us ever talking online or in person she navigated the complex process to get into my building and was there to take care of my sick dog. I really appreciate how quickly she responded and her professionalism dealing with the lack of information and preparation I could offer.”

“Sydney is very kind and great with Tanuki! This is her third time sitting Tanuki and he really likes his company. She always makes sure to keep me updated with the pics! Thanks Sydney!”

“Jason was stellar and we couldn't be happier! Our dog and cat loved him, and he was very organized and professional. When we got back it felt like we'd been gone for just an afternoon - the house was tidy and the pets seemed unphased by our absence! Jason was also particularly gracious working around a last-minute internet outage at our house.”

“We had an excellent experience with Chip as a dog and house sitter while we were out of town for 9 days. He was communicative, easy to work with, and our two dogs seemed very happy and calm when we returned. We got daily updates with pictures and came home to a clean and tidy house. Highly recommended!”

“Elena provided great care for my pup and home when I was out of town for 3 days. Communication and interaction was easy and efficient both in setting up the sit and throughout. My pup Frida got lots of cuddles and long walks and I came home to a very tidy house. I won't hesitate to contact Elena in the future.”

“Lindsey was so great!! She left our home in great condition but even more importantly, our dogs were so happy in her care! She was very communicative and excellent at following our care instructions. We so appreciate Lindsey’s amazing care!”

“Stephanie took the time to meet our dog before house sitting which was great! House was left in great condition and she got along great with our dog.”

“Zach was clean and respectful of our house, he arrived promptly and even gracefully met us before we booked his services. This was the first time my three cats were left alone for two weeks. They are extremely high energy (two Bengals and an Abyssinian) and they absolutely loved him. Thank you Zach!”

“Joyce took excellent care of our pup. Her communication is excellent and you can tell how much she cares about animals. I loved the pics and updates she shared while we were away. I highly recommend Joyce!”

“Grace is wonderful to work with. She watched our 5 y/o sheltie last year, and then both him and our 1.5 y/o sheltie for one week this year. She came out for another meet and greet for our puppy. She was very communicative on our trip, sending pictures several times a day. Our house looks exactly as we left it. Our boys are very shy, but they did well with Grace and they are healthy and happy now that we are home. Thanks, Grace!”

“Kris was fabulous with Quavo! There was an easy bond made when we first met at the park. Sounds like they had a great time while we were away, and we were able to relax knowing Quavo was so well cared for. Highly recommend Kris, and we’ll be requesting a return visit in the future!”

“Hunter was fed, watered, medicated, and everything indicates she did a great job hanging out with him for a week He appears to have appreciated the company :)”

“I’ve known Jillian her whole life. She’s incredibly responsible and she LOVES all creatures and is a kind hearted and niced person herself. She won’t even squash a spider! She has a lot of experience with caring for a variety of animals with a variety of temperaments. She personally owns 2 cats and a dog. She’s planning to eventually pursue an animal related career (wild animal conservation, veterinary sciences? TBD ) and she is exploring these fields academically. In the mean time she’s available to lovingly and responsibly care for your pet!”

“Jacob was thoughtful, thorough, and communicative! He was totally open to working with our dog-reactive dog and we came back home to a very happy and healthy gal. Thanks so much Jacob!”

“Elise was incredible! She took such awesome care of our dogs and home while we were away - going above and beyond to make sure they got plenty of exercise and love. Would be thrilled to have her care for our pets again!”

“Ashley was wonderfully kind and patient to my pup who can be quite shy to new folks. She took great care of our home and garden while we were away and sent us cute photos and videos of our pup playing. Kaiju will miss her new friend!”

“Dena and Chris are amazing! They are now our go to’s for watching our older dog. They went above and beyond constantly. So very happy to have found them!”

About: I am a dog lover and former dog mom who has recently lost my beloved boy Zeus after 15 wonderful years together. I adopted Zeus as a wild, very furry, stubborn, 1 year old super-mutt from the King County Animal Shelter in 2009. He won me over with his smile and positive attitude and I was willing to take the training courses to learn to be a good pet owner to this happy guy. Over the years, Zeus and I fostered dozens of other dogs through the Seattle Animal Shelter and private rescues. For Zeus, I bought a fully fenced 1000 sq ft yard in north Ballard for dogs to run around or lounge in the sun. The house is 100% dog friendly with dogs allowed on the furniture and bed. A house is too quiet without a dog and Zeus would want other dogs to get to enjoy his spacious yard. I am semi-retired so I don't work outside the house...just the occasional conference call for one of the non profits I work with. I am home all day to play with the dogs in the yard or take walks. The dogs never go more than a couple hours without a potty break. Inside I have baby gates available if any dog needs their own quiet space. I am home all day when I pet sit, so the dogs are always supervised. If I do need to go out briefly, I make sure my dog and our visiting dog have their own private space with a bed, food, and water and I am not gone for long. I am semi-retired, so pet care is at the top of my agenda when dogs are in my home. Daily walks keep all the beings in the house happy. My house is 100% dog friendly. Dogs are allowed on the couch and the bed. I have baby gates that can be set up if a dog needs a safe quiet place where they can still keep on eye on everything going on.
