Pet Sitting Highland Park

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve spent years around pups of every size, breed, and personality. I’m comfortable with dogs who are reactive or who love to pull on the leash, and I stay calm, patient, and confident on walks. I’ve cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs for many years, whether that means staying with them while their people travel or stopping by for walks, meals, and some extra love. I know how hard it can be to leave your pup when you’re away, and my goal is to put your mind at ease so you can actually enjoy your time without worrying about how they’re doing. I’m always happy to send photos, videos, or updates whenever you want them. I’m reliable, attentive, and I’ll always put your dog first. I want your pup to feel safe, happy, and genuinely cared for every moment they’re with me. I work fully remote, which means I’m able to hang out with your pup all day and night while you’re away. I’m around for playtime, cuddles, walks, and anything else they need throughout the day. I’m also super flexible with potty breaks and feeding times, so your dog can stay on their normal routine and feel as comfortable as possible. My goal is to make their days feel familiar and happy while giving you total peace of mind. Since I’ll be caring for your pets in your home, I always follow your preferences and routines to keep things feeling familiar and safe for your pup. I’m respectful of whatever rules you have in place, whether that means keeping them off the furniture, crating during certain times, or sticking to specific boundaries. I’m comfortable hanging out with your dog in the living room while I work on my laptop, giving them company and a calm presence throughout the day. If your pup prefers more space or quiet time, I’m just as happy to give them that too. I’m flexible and attentive to what each dog needs, and I do my best to maintain the environment and routine that helps them feel secure and at home. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, relaxed, and understood while you’re away, and to make the experience smooth and stress‑free for everyone.

“My senior cats loved Yimi. She is gentle and sweet, so they felt very comfortable with her. She is a good communicator and sent lots of photos. we will definitely be using her again!!”

About: I’ve been a mom to small dogs most my adult life. I currently have a chill 7 lb shih tzu mix that would love company on our two daily walks. I work part-time and am never away for more than 4 hours. (Often my college age son is home when I’m out) I’ve taken care of very young pups as well as older dogs requiring medications and special diets. I’m responsible and loving, doing my best to keep pups content while their people are away. I’m communicative and responsive and provide daily pupdates. I work two to three days a week for no more than 4 hours, so I’m home a lot. I have a 6 year-old shih tzu mix that I walk twice a day so I have a good routine established. My college age son lives with me and is super helpful and responsible. Generally if I’m out, he’s home to give extra potty breaks and belly rubs. My back yard is quite big and securely fenced-lots of room for sniffing! My house is cozy and comfortable-I’m happy to have pups on my lap on the couch and in my bed for the night.

“Karen did a fantastic job taking care of our cat, Luci! She communicated with us every day and we came home to a happy kitty. We will definitely book Karen on our next trip. 10/10 recommend!!”

“Hunter did an excellent job checking in on our pups while we were out of town. He was on time and made sure they were fed, watered, and pottied!”

Michelle M.

“Sarah has time and time again proven to be the most reliable sitter for drop in visits. We LOVE all the pictures, updates, and genuine care that we get from Sarah. She goes above and beyond every time. Not just a wonderful sitter but a wonderful human!!”

Jillian P.

“Katherine did a wonderful job of letting me know when she was on the way to my place and gave me phenomenal updates while there. Took care of my cat exceptionally well and followed all of the care instructions. My cat felt comfortable with her without me there too! 10000/10 will be booking again. :)”

“Emer has been great with Chubbs. Very understanding of his puppy needs and tendencies. Prompt arrivals and follows schedules and protocols. Communicates and asks questions as needed. Chubbs is a happy clam after her visits!”

“Francheska was proacative to set up a meet and greet. She was punctual on the day of service and took lots of photos while caring for my pet. I would recommend her in the future and will reach out next time I need help!”

“Francesca is amazing! She not only checked in on our baby but spent time helping her to learn commands! Cupcakke loves her and we will use her any time she is available! Highly recommend!”

Katie D.

“Truly a perfect experience! Carrianne dropped in on our kitty 2 times a day for almost a week. Every drop-in she stayed for the entire 30 min duration and kept our lil guy fed and entertained. She went above and beyond with communication and photos and even came by extra early in the morning before she had to go to work. Thank you SO MUCH for peace of mind while we were away on our trip and thanks for taking such good care of Odin.”

Hilary L.

“Tim did an awesome job! My dog gets a bit nervous around new people and tends to shell herself but around him she warmed up quickly enjoyed him stopping by!”

Davon P.

“Chis was amazing. We have a very sick kitten, and she was the most perfect caregiver to her while we were away. She was super organized, communicated well, and gave us very thoughtful updates. It was my first weekend away since our kitten being very ill. There isn’t anyone I could have trusted more. We are beyond grateful.”

Tara & Max R.

“I’m so glad I found Haley! She takes great care of my cats and I have come home to happy, healthy kitties each time I’ve booked her. Hope she’s willing to put up with independent Nova and needy Scotia, because she’s my new regular.”

About: I've spent all my life around dogs and learned from an early age the importance of boundaries – for humans and pets – and how to adjust my energy to best suit the dog I'm working with. Most dogs with behavioral struggles just need some structure, support, and patience, and I'm happy to provide all to your pets! I've lived with several breeds in the past (Papillon, Pomeranian mix, Labrador, Boston Terrier, and other mixed breeds), and have learned the grooming needs of their different coats, so I'm always willing to take on some brushing and paw trimming when needed! I've spent much of my teen years caring for senior and disabled dogs, including partial blindness and deafness, administering medication (pills and eye drops), mobility restrictions, and anxiety. If you have a smart dog who likes to get up to some trouble, trust that I know just what you're going through! I'm prepared to work with dogs who need some extra mental stimulation. As a former Papillon owner, I know small dogs tend to pack a big personality, but I'm up for the challenge! I work for college art departments and some art studios around Seattle about 2-5 times a month, but I'm otherwise free during weekdays and weekends! I take public transit, so any transportation by me would be by walking or bus/lightrail, and I will always let you know in advance if I plan to take public transit. I am disabled and use a cane or hip brace to assist in long walks or uneven terrain. I am perfectly comfortable with walking dogs around the neighborhood or to dog parks, but I am not able to run with them. I always try my best to respect the habits and preferences of the family while in their home, as consistency and respect is key to building a healthy relationship with animals. Some additional information that I always find helpful is what commands the dog knows, any medical issues to look out for, behaviors that you want to be reinforced or discouraged, preferred methods of rewarding behavior, and what their personal routines are (evening naps in certain places, preferences for sleep and dinner time, etc.). When it comes to puppies, it's very important they continue to have the same expectations and boundaries as they have with their owners, so I will do my best to continue with their usual routines while you are away. When it comes to senior dogs, they often rely heavily on routine and consistency for navigation and comfort due to hearing and eyesight issues, and I always want to do my best to make sure they are as comfortable as possible!

“DeAnna did an amazing job caring for our pets. She was really thoughtful in getting Phoebe to warm up to her, did a great job playing with both, and sent us detailed updates. Totally awesome!”

“Sydni is great with my Riley girl!! Riley is always happy to see Sydni and I get plenty of great updates about how she’s doing and if there are any concerns. Sydni is very communicative and thoughtful during all of her visits.”

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was 5 years old. I have experience with dogs, cats, goats, bunnies, guinea pigs, chickens, parakeets, and cockatiels. I have a passion for animals and they have always helped me deal with anxiety. Pet boarding is my part time job. I’m a guinea pig mom and who loves critters of all kinds. I look forward to getting to know your furry friends! I live in an apartment building but for pets that need outdoor time I usually take them for long walks in the evening and shorter potty breaks throughout the day! That way they get their business done, get fresh air, plenty of exercise and time inside to rest and be pet.

“Lisa has been beyond wonderful to our boy Benny. He can be a bit difficult and doesn’t warm up to just anybody. Lisa has been so patient and allowed him the time to get comfortable with a new person. We would be thrilled to book Lisa again.”

“Laura took great care of our cats while gone on an extended trip back east. We really appreciated having someone reliable and communicative. Will definitely book again! Thank you!”
