“Hope was wonderful - loved the updates with photos and she was always there on time. I have a GS/Lab mix, 100 pounds. I had an overnight pet sitter that worked long hours and Hope was able to drop by and play with Reo midday - she even let him swim to assist with wearing him out. He has bad hips, so I was thankful for this! She was also great at getting back to me with any messages I sent. I highly recommend! ? Virginia, Echo Lake area”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have cared for pets since I was a child. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. As a retired pet sitter with a flexible schedule, I can give your pets the time, attention, companionship, and frequent potty breaks they deserve throughout the day. I’m experienced caring for pets of all ages, including senior dogs and cats, and I’m comfortable administering medications when needed. I also have experience caring for cats, alpacas, goats, chickens, and cows, so I’m comfortable with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I share my home with my sweet senior Beagle, who is very laid-back, gentle, and gets along well with other animals. His calm personality helps visiting pets feel welcome and at ease. While my yard is not fenced, I live in a wonderful, walkable neighborhood that’s perfect for safe leash walks, sniff adventures, or stroller rides for senior pets who still enjoy getting outside. For added peace of mind, a veterinary clinic is conveniently located right at the bottom of my street should an emergency ever arise. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, providing them with plenty of love, patience, and individualized attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving, dependable hands. As a retiree, I have a very flexible schedule and can provide care any day of the week, including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and last-minute bookings when available. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of love. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, and I’m happy to work around their schedule to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. “For everyone’s safety, I only allow dogs outdoors while securely leashed unless otherwise instructed by the owner.” As a previous owner of two small Yorkies, who sadly passed away from old age, I know how important it is for them to continuously be watched due to predators etc. I will always be very cautious with your prize possessions. I occasionally have my 7 year old grandson in my home, but he is great with animals. He’s only at my place a couple times a week.

“I found Miranda last minute and she really helped me out watching my new puppy. She gave him lots of love and always sent me a detailed report of how her visit went. I highly recommend her.”

Amber H.

“Came for a meet and greet prior to the check-in. That was very helpful to go through feeding instructions and to make sure everyone would get along. The dogs seemed to love her! She was very nice when we met. The check-in went smooth with no issues. She sent photos of the dogs and their happy faces. I really appreciated that she left a description of the check-in.”

“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.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life and now in a position (I'm retired) to help others. As a pet owner I have trained Labradors, Walker Hound, mix breeds, and enjoy all types of dogs. I like getting dogs outside for walk or play. I'm doing this not for the money but I simply love dogs. My wife and I are in our go go years and plan to travel, but when we are home I can help board on our 1 1/3 acre (non fenced) yard or i can simply come take your dog for a walk. I am retired and have a hobby (efoil). My typical day is to go out on Lake Washington for a couple hours in the morning 2 to 3 days a week and efoil in the morning. Than I am free other than house projects around our home. At times we plan to travel, but trips are known way in advance. I have a big yard but it is not fenced, I do have a kennel I can setup at the back of my house with a covered area. I live close to Cottage Lake and would take your dog for walks down to the lake and around the trails.

About: I am a teacher looking to stay busy this summer. I have a dog and 2 cats. I grew up with pets my whole life. I plan on doing this over my summer break. I will have a lot of time to spend time with animals by giving them the exercise they need. I am happy to host at our place. We have a spacious place. I love to stay active and take them out often. I can also go stop by and make sure your animals are loved!

“Barbara was wonderful! She took care of our cat, frogs, and turtle while we were gone for 10 days. Our cat loved her and she made sure the other animals were cared for properly. She provided helpful updates and left us a daily log when we returned. I would definitely use Barbara again in the future!”

“Maren was awesome! Communicative and professional. Would highly recommend. She was willing to do a meet and greet ahead of time, which I so appreciate.”

Elle H.

“Natalie is such a kind and conscientious sitter for my cat Milo. I am never worried about the little guy when she’s taking care of him. Thanks Natalie!”

Patricia R.

“Lorie looked after our two cats while we were on vacation for a week. She is very professional, caring and conscientious and we felt at ease while we were away, knowing that our cats and home were in good hands. She gave us very thorough visit reports which we appreciated very much. We would love to have her look after our cats again.”

Catherine M.

“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”

About: Passionate about loving and caring for animals, with professional service-dog training experience and expertise handling small, large, and giant breeds, working dogs, medically complex pets, and animals requiring individualized attention. My experience ranges from Jack Russells to a medically high-maintenance Great Dane and, currently, my white German Shepherd. I also have professional dog-training experience with Brandon McMillan at Lucky Dog Ranch in Los Angeles, including service-dog training. That experience taught me the importance of understanding canine behavior, body language, consistency, structure, and adapting my approach to each individual dog. I’m comfortable with strong and energetic dogs, seniors, special-needs pets, detailed feeding routines, and dogs requiring additional attention or care. I understand how difficult it can be to find someone you genuinely trust to walk or care for your beloved pet. I treat every dog as an individual, respect the training and routines you have established, and provide the same attentive, dependable care I would want for my own. I believe dogs thrive with consistency, so I do my best to maintain the schedule and routine they’re already comfortable with. I’ll follow your preferences for walks, meals, medications, potty breaks, playtime, training, and downtime. I’m active and happy to accommodate everything from leisurely neighborhood walks to longer, more energetic outings for dogs who need extra exercise and stimulation. I also make time for play, enrichment, affection, and plenty of rest. Every dog is different, so I tailor the day around their age, energy level, personality, and individual needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Safety and trust always come first. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I take the time to understand their normal routine, personality, training, feeding schedule, medical needs, and any behaviors or triggers I should be aware of. My professional service-dog training experience has taught me to pay close attention to canine body language and behavior, use calm and consistent handling, and create an environment where dogs feel safe and comfortable. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and maintain the routines and boundaries their dog already knows. Walks are handled responsibly, doors and gates are always checked, and pets are supervised with their safety and comfort in mind. When caring for pets in your home, I’m equally respectful of your space and privacy. My goal is simple: for you to feel completely confident that both your pet and your home are in responsible, caring hands.

“Blake and Kayla took great care of our puppy, and we’d recommend them to anyone looking to book drop-in visits. We’re looking forward to continuing to work with them in the future!”

“Sarah was a total rock star with Chekhov and Kalinka. She helped troubleshoot all the automatic feeder nonsense that happened. I would have her back to take care of them every single time I go out of town!”
