4. Lori M.
“Lori was on time, great with our dogs and very easy to communicate with. She figured out our weird door perfectly well! I would absolutely ask Lori to walk our dogs again!”
5. Alison K.
“Alison is responsible, punctual, and very positive in her approach. She managed to take a nervous puppy who wouldn’t get out of her crate up to the level where she now has a new friend who wants to share her favorite blanket. I highly recommend her for your dog walking needs!”
6. Jeffrey P.
“Jeffrey is very friendly & communicative! He helped me out last minute.”
7. Elaina C.
“El is absolutely amazing with my two year old puppy. Medford has severe anxiety, has since he was a tiny puppy, and El is wonderful with him. They guarantee that he is safe and in control of his walks at all times, plays with him endlessly, and makes sure all food and medication is done whenever they take care of him. El has also done many overnights with Medford- including extended stays in excess of a month (I travel once a year home and trust El to caretake my world). I honestly couldn’t be a dog owner without El in my life! You would do well to have El take care of your pets.”

11. Carey S.
“Carey is always very attentive and takes great care of my cat! I never have to worry about my boy because I know Carey will make sure he's fed and has someone to hang out with while I'm gone (I think he might even be getting a couple extra treats). Carey is my favorite pet sitter!”
12. Jimmy V.
“Jimmy took care of my super shy dog while I was out of town for a weekend and everything went perfectly! I feel totally at ease leaving my pup in his care because I can tell how concerned he is with understanding the routine and making sure both dog and owner are comfortable.”
13. Gaya B.
About: I'm a proud owner of a 5 year old shiba named Bobs, and if you know anything about shibas it's that they are stubborn! He has taught me both patience and perseverance - patience when he's sniffing pee-mail and perseverance when he refuses to answer nature's call. I love getting to know new dogs/cats. I am available for as many walks as your dog wants, as well as play time. I love cuddle time, play time, and chill time with your baby. Safety is my number one priority for your baby. As a dog walker/sitter, I will give your fur baby the same love, attention and patience that Bobs enjoys. Your pup and I will have lots of fun while we get to know each other.
14. Kimberly V.
“Kim is a dream! Kim exudes all the characteristics you would wish for in a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter: loving to the kids, communicative to us, thoughtful, cuddly, and consistent. What makes Kim so different than other pet sitters is her attention to detail. She contacted us after realizing our dog wasn’t actually going to the bathroom - therefore she actually watched our dog go outside and “fake” go to the bathroom. She didn’t nearly open the door and shove the dog out. She reached out and said “the dog hasn’t actually gone to the bathroom”. We knew this was a sign of being nervous she would be left out, so Kim simply sat outside and helped the dog trust her and she finally went potty. The fact that Kim was so in tune and watching my girls made us trust her that much more. Not many would pay that much attention. Another example is Kim’s calming, yet cautious demeanor. Our dog isn’t too friendly with other dogs, so Kim takes her on walks early morning or late night and keeps a watchful eye to avoid others. Again - another example of flexing to comfort my dog and ensure she still gets exercise. We absolutely love having Kim watch our home and girls and we know they are in excellent hands. We don’t worry one bit knowing no that Kim will reach out for any minor issue. The girls love Kim and we do too!”
15. Kirsten L.
About: Experience with cats and dogs of all ages. I personally have only owned cats but I have been dog sitting for long periods since I was young with my family and friends dogs. I enjoy working with animals of all sizes and ages since and I love getting to know the personalities of all fur babies. I currently work full time (9-5) in Seattle and remotely but I have a very flexible schedule that would allow me to step away as needed. Given that I can work remotely it would allow me to be present with animals longer. I would follow specific instructions as needed per pet. My main goal is to make sure they are comfortable and get to know me and build some trust before engaging in any play or responsibilities.
16. Arjun K.
“Arjun is a great friend! He takes my dog out on walks when I cannot make it home in time or even when I’m out of town! He loves dogs so much that he takes my dog to a nearby park sometimes. I’ve taken him with my dog on hikes before and he is amazing at taking care of my dog. Now he takes my dogs on hikes without me”
17. Kathleen B.
“Hello, My name is Brandi Peinecke I have known Katie for 10 plus years. In those years I've asked Katie to dog sit/ house sit for me. I've taken trips for up to 2 weeks and she has always been reliable. I have an American bulldog/ Pitbull mix and a Shepard/Huskey mix. She has always been great with them and knows how to control them. I absolutely have no problem recommending Katie for this position as a dog walker or house sitter. Anyone who uses her services should feel very confident in the way she treats your pet and cares for them.”
18. Matt F.
“Matt has watched both of my dogs on multiple occasions and I couldn’t be happier. He’s very attentive and will make sure your pets are safe and well taken care of. He always keeps me updated on how they’re doing which I appreciate. My dogs are always happy to see him. Would recommend to pet sit anytime!”
19. Lindsey G.
“Having known Lindsey all of their life, I've seen them through all phases. Regardless of what they have going on, Lindsey is a loving, caring and involved individual. They cared for the family cat with kindness and patience. Whether looking after a two legged or four legged loved one or friend, Lindsey has done so with compassion and responsibility, as when spending time with younger cousins, or babysitting children of family friends. Once they set their mind to achieve something, they reached that goal.”
20. Raeya D.
About: I spent a few years farm sitting for a friend simultaneously caring for 2 large dogs, 2 pigs, 1 horse, 2 angora bunnies, 3 cats (2 outdoor, 1 indoor + a kitten litter), 2 goats, and countless chickens, ducks, and 1 rooster. I’ve also dog and cat sat over the past 10-15 years with many different types of dogs (small, medium, large, special needs, senior, etc.). I work full time, but have flexibility to stop by throughout the day and can stay overnights as well, so it is easy to fit it in seamlessly. I am happy to adjust my working hours based on the pet’s needs! I have so much love and respect for animals and people. I will treat your pet(s) and your home as I would my own, with the utmost respect and care.
