“Cassie was amazing, we couldn’t have asked for a better, more caring sitter for our dogs and cat. She followed all the instructions we left (which are pretty specific to our pets) with great care, and everything was perfectly taken care of throughout the entire weekend. We’ll absolutely be using her services again in the coming months. We think we’ve found our permanent sitter!”

“Shawn is amazing, I highly recommend her! She took such wonderful care of my two senior dogs while I was away. Shawn sent me notes and photos so I knew exactly how my dogs were doing and gave me peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. I came home to happy dogs and a well-kept home, I couldn’t have asked for more!”
“Katherine and her son have quickly become our favorite doggy nanny’s for Java by far. They spend special attention and kept to our instructions for our little guy. It really shows how much they love animals. On the first sitting Java had a hard time letting them leave. Thank you again for both of your wonderful.”
“Peggy is outstanding! She came to stay at our home and watch our fur babies while we traveled to the East Coast. She kept us informed on how the "kids" were doing and sent photos. She left the house super clean and tidy and everyone was happy. We will definitely ask for Peggy again when we need someone to watch our pets.”

“On a short notice request to attend a burial, we were fortunate to find Seann, and for our schedules to align. He was a true pleasure to work with, our Katie and Cooper warmed up to him immediately, and we connected to his warm personality. He was rather attentive to Katie's special medical needs, kept them companied around the clock, and tended to them exactly as needed. We felt Katie and Cooper were in excellent hands. Seann was also very respectful of the property and communicated with me as often as it was necessary. We are rather pleased with Seann, and look forward to his care on future trips.”
“Jody took great care of our cats and home! She was very communicative, quick to respond, and sent many adorable photos. Both cats seemed to take to Jody and Rivers immediately and enjoyed having them there, even our Siamese. They were wonderful! I highly recommend them and hope they are available the next time!”
About: I’m currently a Veterinary Assistant, in school for my Veterinary Technicians license. I’m experienced giving medications, injections, and toenail trims! I have pretty advanced knowledge with animal terminology. With owning a Dalmatian, I am also very used to the energy levels of some very high dog breeds including, Dalmatian, Belgian Malinois, and Golden Retrievers. I’m currently working in Bainbridge Island for half the week but that does not stop me from dropping in/ spending time with your beloved pet! I love routine! Animals thrive on it! I thrive on it! With my own dog, I know she has a lot of needs that need to be met! Sticky notes! Booklets! As many tips and tricks you can give me to provide the care your pet needs!
“Gabrielle was wonderful, Max was very well taken care of and happy when we returned! She sent me updates and pictures everyday, I would definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies!!”
“Jordan was excellent. I only adopted Oso the day prior but was called in to work. She met with Oso that day to ensure the two were a match. She responded with very short notice to dog sit within my home overnight. Her communication was perfect and she updated me often with how Oso was doing, what they were up to, and with multiple photos showing a very happy rescue.”
“Jacob is an awesome pet sitter. He is easy to communicate with and obviously loves his job. He was very considerate and tidy while staying at our house for a week while we were away and sent lots of great photos with perfect captions! We would highly recommend him and will definitely have him sit for our pooches again.”
“Such a great experience for our dogs and me. Came home to happy dogs, clean house and calm atmosphere. Jennifer kept me informed as to when she arrived, left and my high energy dogs did well with Jennifer's confident manner. I will be using her again! Thanks Jennifer!!”
About: My goal is to make your pets feel safe and comfortable, like they have a second home and family, and of course have a fun and memorable time! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities. I've rescued 3 pups of my own (Ramona/Black Lab, Frida/Border Collie, and Charly/Pointer), and they each had individual quirks and health obstacles. Please reach out with any questions or concerns about special needs! I'm also an artist that loves to take nice photos of your pets while they are away. My schedule is open to accommodate your pet's regular routine. I love to go for walks or relax and cuddle, depending on how it best fits your pet's personality. I have a fully fenced, spacious yard with lots of areas to play and lounge, and my dog Charly absolutely loves company. We will make sure your pup gets lots of attention and love.
