Dog Sitting Federal Way

“Issana is wonderful! She is a real cat whisperer - she charmed my shy kitty out from hiding and made quick friends with both of my cats. Issana is kind and trustworthy. I highly recommend her!”

“Emily is literally the best. She is so engaging with the dog. During drop-ins, she actually plays and interacts with Kenzai rather than “just checking in”. Kenzai absolutely adores Emily. She’s his best friend!! Emily is incredibly respectful, professional, and kind.”

Jareena S.

“Always reliable”

“Willa was amazing! She took great care of my cat while we were away in Bali. She made sure to feed her twice a day and even played with her in the garden. We also had a broken door, and Willa took care of it right away while we were away from home. I really appreciate everything she did for us. I can’t wait to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to look after their pet.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and animals my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. My family has owned and cared for a large number of dogs, ranging from small French Bulldogs to large Caucasian Shepherds, so I’m comfortable with both small and giant breeds and understand that every dog has different needs and temperaments. I also have experience caring for dogs with different activity levels and medical needs. One of the families I regularly house-sit for has a young German Shepherd and a 13-year-old Labrador with breathing issues. While caring for them, I handled their daily routines, including morning walks, exercise, feeding, companionship, and making sure their individual needs were met. My mom has also worked as a veterinary technician and spent approximately five years working with police K-9s through the Everett Detective Department. Growing up around her work has given me extensive exposure to professional dog handling, training, animal behavior, medications, and veterinary care. I’ve been around many different cats and dogs through her work, including animals ranging from extremely friendly to fearful or reactive. Because of this background, I’m comfortable around dogs that are energetic, large, shy, senior, or have unique routines. I’m patient and attentive, and I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I treat every animal in my care as an individual and want both the pet and their owner to feel safe and comfortable while they’re apart. I’m a college student taking classes online, which gives me a 100% flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for just about anything you, or you pet may need! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medication, and any special needs. I’m comfortable with crate routines and caring for dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. At my home I have a fully fenced yard. I also have 1 small dog of my own who can either keep your dog company or be put away for safety! For house sitting and drop-ins, I treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, while keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Stephanie came by for a drop in visit to play woth my pups. She was timely, friendly and well prepared to spend time with my dogs. My fur babies loved her!”

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and cats and enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable with playful, energetic pets as well as those who are more shy, cautious, or need a little extra patience to warm up. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I make it a priority to follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some playtime, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to provide dependable and loving care. I’m also comfortable caring for cats, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and giving them attention while respecting their space. My goal is simple: make sure your pets are safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working a job and my current schedule for assisting with our furry friends reflects that schedule! Friday to Monday is my current schedule for helping our friends! I care for every pet according to their individual routine, personality, and needs. Before each visit or walk, I make sure I understand their feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications (if applicable), and any special instructions from their owner. During walks, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and engaged while allowing them to enjoy their time outside. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, making sure pets have fresh water, food, attention, and a clean and comfortable environment. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. My priority is always the pet’s safety and making sure they receive the same patience, love, and attention I would want for my own pets.

I am currently pursuing a degree in psychology, and I have a strong interest in animal behavior and dog training. This has helped me develop patience, observation skills, and an understanding of how to build trust with both pets and their owners. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I will treat them with the same care, attention, and respect that I would want for my own pet.

“Cyndi was always very considerate and went above and beyond to look after our kitties. Very grateful to know someone very caring was taking care of our pets.”

“Monica is by far the BEST & most reliable cat sitter. Our cat is an escape artist & she kept him in our apartment and safe the entire month we were gone. She went above and beyond to send me hundreds of photos and videos while we were gone. Maintained a clean and safe area for the cats and when we came home our house was spotless. I’ve had 3 cat sitters in the past and Monica is by far the golden cat sitter. I’d hire her again in a heart beat & plan on doing so in the near future. I felt so at ease leaving Monica with my two cats!”

Sydney P.

“Ricardo was great! I needed help giving my cat medication 2x daily. He let me know when he was heading over and arrived on time. Olive did great with him, she was relaxed and cooperated nicely. 😊”

Vanessa H.

“Taylor was great! Came twice a day to check in on our kitty and gave him lots of love and sent many great videos for us.”

About: I care for my own dog daily and understand how important routines, patience, exercise, and attention are for keeping dogs comfortable and happy. I’m familiar with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe in a calm environment. I’m dependable, communicative, and will provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their dog is being well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available weekday evenings and all weekend, so I have time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and giving your pet the attention and care they deserve. I focus on building trust and helping every pet feel comfortable in their environment. I use positive reinforcement to reward good behavior and improvement, pay close attention to each pet’s needs, and make sure they get plenty of potty breaks!

About: Love dogs, all ages, breeds, sizes, etc. I live with my husband and kids and I have always loved having pets around! I live near trails and parks, so your pet will be well taken care of and will get plenty of exercise and love. Would love to watch your dog or exercises him/her anytime! About this sitter: I am a mom of two girls who love pets; I have a daughter who is almost 7 and loves animals and a 4 month old who isn't afraid of animals as she has been around my sisters dogs. I work as a personal trainer at home and love my job. I work based on when I have clients so I am home a lot. I am home daily and work from home. My schedule is flexible and conducive to caring for your pet!! I already care for our pet so adding another is great. I can easily crate your pet but I’m also home all day and can play and keep your pet company!! Your dog will be cared for!

About: Update: We have adopted 7/7/26 a Shih-tzu 10lb. I raised both a Shih Tzu-Poodle mix and a Tibetan Terrier from puppies into their senior years. They were truly part of our family, and after losing them, I’m not emotionally ready to adopt again. (My daughter got a dog now-7/7/2026) Pet sitting feels like the perfect win-win your pets will be showered with love, attention, and care, while also bringing that special furry companionship back into our home. I’m experienced in daily pet care, including brushing and coat maintenance. Since both of our dogs had coats that matted easily, daily brushing and regular grooming were essential, and I personally maintained and trimmed their coats myself. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve pet sat for friends and family during vacations, often caring for their pets for weeks at a time. I also worked as a nanny for several years, where I regularly cared for a German Shepherd who became one of my favorites. We took daily walks to the park, and I helped maintain his coat, especially during shedding season. My love for animals began growing up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and frequent litters of puppies and kittens. Being able to witness and help care for animals from such a young age gave me a deep appreciation for them and taught me patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always care for them as if they were part of my own family. My schedule is very flexible, I work from home in the evenings, the timing is perfect for winding down, they can relax in my office while I work or in our living room or room. In my home: Safety is my top priority. I have a large, fully fenced backyard, that connect directly to our lower living area allowing for secure and easy access for potty breaks. For variety i can take them around our neighborhood for walks and can utilize a large park at a nearby school for additional play time. Pet not good on walks, NO PROBLEM: Having owned a Tibetan Terrier who was incredibly loving with family and children, but reactive to other dogs on walks I deeply understand that every dog is different. If a pet is anxious or not good on walks, we can stay withing our private back yard. In the clients home: I follow the owners established routines and instructions to keep the pet safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, including tailored neighborhood walks.

“I really appreciated being able to trust Tiana with our pets over the holiday. She was responsive to their needs and communicated wonderfully throughout her time with them. I felt like she truly cared for our animals like they were her own.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 8 years old and have assisted neighbors and relatives with care when they needed help. I’ve worked with all types of personalities and know how to love and treat them while meeting them where they’re at. I currently work evenings 2:30pm-11:30pm Saturday through Tuesday. I’m happy to provide any necessary care before I have to leave for work around 1pm, after work around 12:30am, or on any of the days I’m off! I have a small, fenced back yard for any quick potty trips but am keen on taking many walks. I live in a pet free environment and can ensure the highest quality care with your fur babies!

About: I’ve watched dogs/cats for many friends and been recommended to others. I love animals and have Always had dogs around, and have a sweet kitty in Portland and 2 doggies up here in Federal Way. I’ve walked dogs and pet sat as well. I am available Saturdays for sure, most likely available weekdays in the morning/early afternoons except when one of my jobs needs me, hours have been scarce so please message me and I can let you know for sure a day if you need someone 😌 Unfortunately I can’t care for pets in my place, I have two dogs and my apartment is small. But I’m willing to care for pets in others homes if needed.

“McKenna went out of her way to help out with our pups. They are anxious dogs and require a lot of extra TLC. She was great with them. She was super sweet and responsible. I would use her again for sure!!”
