House Sitting Houghton

About: I’ve enjoyed walking dogs in my Seattle neighborhood since I was a teen. Any opportunity to exercise and be around pets is a time I can’t pass up! I do not mind long walks or jogging, so if you prefer a longer walk time for your pet that is no issue. I’m currently working part time and will soon begin going back to college in the fall part time as well. I have a very flexible work schedule, weight to shed, and a genuine love for animals, so I thought I’d try Rover out 😄 I would not be able to have pets in my own home, but I will gladly prepare your pet for a walk or feed him/her in your home if you are comfortable. I am also comfortable sitting at your place! I have worked with dogs as young as 5 months, and up to 12 years old. I know how to stimulate a young pup, making sure I read their energy in order to provide them with the fitness they need. On the flip side, I understand the hands on care, assistance, and supervision (quite literally have to be their eyes sometimes) an elderly dog requires. You can trust with me with your pet during all of their life stages.

“Russell was great with our older dog and cat. He kept us updated and took our dog on great walks. He also took good care of our home. Even watered plants without being asked. He can be relied upon ti take great care of pets and home”

“Egor house-sat our two energetic Australian shepherds for 3 days. He was very communicative, kind, professional, and easy to work with; highly recommended. :)”

“Justelle was an amazing in home overnight sitter for our dog. We were without service for two days while we were away and even though our dog is a little reactive I didn’t feel worried at all. Justelle still sent updates and pictures which were a joy to read once we got back to civilization. I’m glad to have found such a great sitter!”

“Naomi covered for us when we were in a pinch and needed a last minute sitter. She left the house nice and tidy. Thanks for coming so last minute!”

“Kira was an amazing dog sitter! One of our dogs has separation anxiety, and Kira did a great job keeping her calm and cared for. They also asked a lot of great questions to make sure they had all of the information they needed about our dogs while we were gone. They sent us pictures of the dogs and gave status updates while we were gone which was really appreciated! They were very flexible with time too, I was able to book them with just a few days notice, and had to stay out later than expected which was no problem for them. Overall it was a great experience, our pups seemed very happy. Thanks Kira! <3”

“This was our first time using Dmytro and it was great! Fast and consistent communication, worked well with multiple changes to the visit and sent pictures of two happy dogs!”

Kristin R.

“My pups absolutely adored having Starr stay with them! Pretty sure they didn’t miss me at all. Starr is so communicative and sent me lots of photos at night so I could see how much fun they were having 💗”

“We wholeheartedly give Shayna five stars! 🌟 She’s a true professional and has experience working with clients with complex needs (we are also “particular” parents 🤓): Her detailed updates and frame-worthy photos were beyond what we could have hoped for. She cared for our two velcro pups — our older, well-behaved one and our younger, rambunctious, slower-to-trust puppy — with such warmth. She kept to the feeding schedule and complex instructions (we premake and weigh out their food and feed every 5 hours 3x day), gave plenty of potty breaks, and added lots of playtime. She also handled feedback with ease when we asked for less peanut butter on the lick pads, and she even shared news when it wasn’t ideal such as one one of our pups getting sick from too much peanut butter 😅 When we returned, the house was tidier than we left it ✨ (blankets folded, dishes washed, and even helped bring our bins to the curb since we’d be gone over the long weekend). We couldn’t ask for a better partner in caring for our dogs. We’re already booked with Shayna again for house sitting and drop in visits. She’s on her way to becoming a trusted presence and we’re even teaching our pups who “Miss Shana” is 💖”

“Robert was ABSOLUTELY fabulous! He was patient, thoughtful, and really communicative. From the moment we requested a sitter until after the service was complete, he was swift to respond, sent lots of pictures, and kept us updated on all the pet care rituals. He did not flinch when the breaker needed to be reset during a housesit, and he took such wonderful care of our tankgirl, Bailey. 5 stars, 2 thumbs way up, and a 3 snaps in Z formation! Highly recommend.”

“Valerie saved me in a pinch and was able to sit for me short notice- she was communicative and did everything I asked! Kenny had a great weekend with her”

Jasmine B.

“Allie was the absolute best with my kitty Izzy! She sends updates and is very thoughtful of what she needs to do for my kitty to make her as comfortable as possible. She is also a very good communicator which is so appreciated. Izzy was happy and thriving when I came home.”

Nina R.

“Veronika was great with Baxter. He was happy to see us but we could tell he was well loved and cared for by her. She sent pics and expressed a small concern (which we appreciated ) but turned out just fine. When we returned, it was like he was looking for her to walk in with us. We will definitely book her again.”

Andrew N.

“Dylan did a wonderful job taking care of our German shepherd while house sitting at our place. He communicated well and left things in great shape. I would definitely hire him again.”

Eric H.

“Nancy did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs while we were on vacation for a week. It was a tough week. One of our dogs was diagnosed with cancer prior to a vacation and took a turn for the worse while we were away. Nancy went above and beyond taking him to the vet and giving him medication. She kept us up to date with his condition. We would definitely use Nancy again.”

David R.

“Paul was an excellent dog sitter! He was extremely responsive leading up to the visit and sent many stunning photos of my dog while I was gone. Highly recommend. My dog Muppet was very comfortable with Paul and got many belly rubs!”

Emi K.

“Sue did a great job watching my dog and house sitting. My dog and house were the same way I left them after leaving for 5 days. In addition, when my plane was cancelled and I had to take a later flight, Sue stepped up and stayed at my house a few hours later then what was scheduled. Sue is a reliable sitter.”

“Samantha did a great job watching our puppies, one of which is particularly scared and on the defensive with everyone and everything. Will absolutely use again in the future.”

Nick A.

“Wendy is awesome. I was very happy with he feedback, help with the pets and attention to detail. My pets were very well cared for and I came home to a clean home and happy pets. Thanks Wendy”

Mark M.

“Brandi stayed with our two dogs and bird for a long weekend while we were traveling. She did a great job caring for the animals! We really appreciate her spending so much time with them and letting us know how things were going. Its really nice to be able to go out of town and know your pets are being well cared for. We would highly recommend Brandi and will definitely ask her to house sit for us again!”
