“Meg took such good care of my dog while we were away for a week and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future! Ranger came down with a GI illness right before we were due to leave but Meg took it in stride and accommodated the meds and food changes prescribed by his vet, on top of his already higher need for structured routine. I especially appreciated the daily pupdates and clear communication, and I felt like my best friend was in safe and capable hands. I would definitely recommend Meg, especially for pups who need extra quality time and attention to detail!”

“Absolutely! Here's a polished version tailored for a testimonial: I never once worried that my girls weren’t safe or being lovingly cared for. It takes a truly special person to look after someone else’s pets with the same devotion as their own—and that’s exactly what we experienced. The peace of mind and genuine care made all the difference.”

About: I have been a dog owner for as early as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and have always loved taking care of them. I am the proud owner of a Norwegian Elkhound named Luna. Luna gets along well with others and I take her to the dog park frequently. I am a very outdoorsy person and love taking my dog for walks and spending time with her!I live here in Seattle with my boyfriend who is also a very outdoorsy person. We love hiking together as well. I can't wait to meet your pup! Thank you for your consideration😊 I currently work as a Dental Assistant but only 3 days a week. The days alternate weekly so depending on the week I will have different availability. I will however always have Saturdays and Sundays off! I live in a one bedroom apartment in the Udistrict so I mainly walk my dog from my apartment to the park that is two blocks away. Will go multiple time a day.

About: You can have peace of mind knowing your cat or dog is safe and well taken care of while you're away. I believe that well-socialized and exercised dogs are the happiest dogs. I have been around dogs and cats my entire life, and love taking care of them to get to know each one on an individual level. I currently have a ten year old 90-pound and five year old 45-pound mixed breed dogs whom I exercise and love daily. I consistently socialize them in order to reinforce good dog behavior, and I hope to do the same with your pup. Over the years I have dog-sat for many friends and loved every minute of it. I adhere to all owner's rules regarding feeding, medication, and other house rules. I am available weekdays and weekends. I currently work during the day, so mornings, evenings, and weekends are generally times when I am most readily available to care for your pet. Currently I do not have the space in my own home to care for other pets, however I am of the belief that a pet thrives better in a familiar environment. I follow all client's instructions in how to best care for their cat or dog.

About: I've taken care of three dogs of my own for the last 3. My oldest pup turned 10 this year. I love learning each pups love language to best take care of them. I'm available for drop ins at your home as well as short or long in home stays while you're aware to ensure your dogs are well taken care of. I look forward to caring for your pets like you would and keeping them safe, snuggled and well cared for while you're away. I will make sure they are loved and taken care of like I would want mine to be.

Allison was very kind and attentive. My dog has health issues and gets multiple medications every day. He is newly blind and can have behavior issues that are difficult. Allison is a pro and took all in stride. I had no worries while away and definitely recommend!

Since this was our first time using Kendra, we began with a meet-and-greet. Her interaction with Lucy felt genuine, and Lucy quickly warmed up to her, which made us confident in our choice. Kendra communicated well, letting us know when she arrived, when she let Lucy out, and providing updates throughout her stay. Her care for dogs is clear, and we highly recommend her. We look forward to asking her to watch Lucy again. I give her an excellent grade.

Daniel stayed in our home with our two medium/large dogs for a full week and they all did great! He sent pics daily, kept us up to date with activities around the house, and even took out the trash and pulled the trash and recyle bins to the street! The house was clean and the furballs were well fed and happy! Highly recommend Daniel if you're looking for overnight pet care!

Katherine was amazing from the initial meet and greet through the care of my pups! She took the time to ask questions and learn their routines and schedules to make sure they were comfortable and well cared for while I was away. She also kept me updated throughout, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about my boys and wanted to make sure they were happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to look after their pets. I would absolutely book with her again!

Jane stayed at our home with our Cavapoo five days. At first, our pet was a little skeptical of Jane, but she worked very hard to win him over. They became good friends before she left. Great communication. Lots of photos. Neighborhood walks. Very caring. And responsible. We would have no hesitation having Jane in our home with our pet in the future. Hopefully, she feels the same.

Sophia did an excellent job watching our two dogs while we were on vacation. One of our dogs is very anxious and requires extra time to warm up to strangers. Sophia was flexible, maintained a calm demeanor, and did several drop in visits prior to our departure to ensure he was comfortable when we left. At the end of our trip, our return home was delayed a day. Sophia was able to cover us and extend care for the additional time. I would recommend Sophia to anyone, especially those with anxious pets.
