About: Just a runner training to make the Olympics. I run full time which is fun but doesn’t pay the bills yet. I work and train while coaching on the side. I live in Ballard and have transportation so getting around and taking care of pets isn’t an issue! Love working with all types of animals. House sitting is always fun. I have been house sitting since I was 14 and get asked every so often to fill in and watch the pets while keeping the house clean. Willing to do anything to accommodate and make things as easy as possible for owners! Can’t wait to get started! I’m currently working full time hours, but I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate most pets needs to be fed, walked, or played with I tend to ask questions about what the pets are allowed to do in home so that way I’m not breaking any rules or teaching unwanted habits.

About: I have been taking care of families and friends dogs for years, since I did not have a dog of my own and I wanted to be surround by as many dogs as possible. Now that I have two pups of my own, I understand on another level how important it is to find someone you can trust and will treat your pup like family.I hope to be that sense of comfort for you and your pups while staying with me.

About: Hi! I’m Tiffany,, a lifelong dog lover with 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, or just a cozy cuddle on the couch, I’m here to provide the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. I treat every dog like family — because they are. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always happy to follow your dog’s specific routine, medical needs, dietary needs, and quirks. From high-energy puppies to mellow seniors, I’ve cared for them all. Let’s make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re gone. I’d love to meet you both! 🐾 I do have a full time job that I work M-F 8-5. I am available to to swing by before or after work, as well as stop by on my lunch break so long as your house is in close proximity to my job. I am willing to stay at your home during the week as well to give your pet the attention and care they need around working hours. I have open a availability on weekends! With my home being small I am only able to accommodate inquiries that have me coming to your home. I will care for your home and pet as if they are my own!

I highly recommend Rhea for house sitting. Even when one of my fur babies had an accident she cleaned up with no hesitation. We truly ❤️You for your outstanding service. I can tell you truly love ? what you do. Thanks The Canady’s”
“I highly recommend Alaina for overnight, in-home pet-sitting. She stayed in my home to watch my adult reactive dog for three days. I received consistent, proactive updates throughout her stay on how my dog was doing and what he was up to without me needing to ask. She even let me know when he had positive experiences with triggers. My dog has a strict routine because of his behavioral problems, and she kept him on his routine very closely and made sure to let me know ahead of time if/when her schedule conflicted with accommodating his normal routine. Upon my return, it is clear that she took good care of my home and space as well as my dog. He has been his normal self ever since I returned from my trip, which was a huge concern for me. I definitely trust that Alaina can provide quality care for reactive and nervous dogs and would recommend her services to any potential clients with such dogs and related concerns.”
“Honestly we felt extremely comfortable leaving her with our two pets. My boy dog absolutely fell for her. She kept us updated and did informed us when something was out of her control. Will be rebooking when go for our next trip.”
“Genesta took excellent care of my pup, Luka. She sent pictures of their playtime outside and he seemed bummed she left! I would definitely recommend Genesta and plan to use her to care for him in the future.”
About: I have worked as a kennel tech at a local veterinarian/boarding facility, where I worked with everything from cats to puppies to elderly dogs, small dogs, large dogs, and everything in between. I spent multiple years volunteering at the Richmond SPCA and have received training both there and at my kennel tech job on cat and dog body language, handling, bathing, nail trims, and medication administration (oral, ear, nasal, and eye). I have worked in the past with large, reactive dogs and am familiar with stress indicators. I am able to provide additional care to sick and special needs pets and also have experience with keeping small mammals (rodents and rabbits), fish, and frogs. I'm home for the summer and outside of a week of vacation, my schedule is mostly wide open. This, along with Instacart, is my only job at the moment, so I am available most days and times and have quite a bit of flexibility. I am able to feed, bathe, walk, administer medications (oral, ear, nasal, and eye), clean up after, and give nail trims to most pets. For reptiles, birds, amphibians, etc: no live feedings or whole prey (except bugs), please. For liability reasons, I don't give nail trims to aggressive or flighty cats due to risk of scratches or bites.

We are traveling for baseball and our dog has separation anxiety.

Kevin responded at such short notice and was to us within 25 minutes. He took great care of our girl, had great communication and sent multiple pictures while we were away. We will definitely use Kevin again if we are back in the area for any reason.
