“Viktoriia was wonderful with our Ripken! It was his first time being alone ever and she was so great to him in terms of giving him medicine but more importantly spending time with him! She emailed pics every day and had a little gift for him. He was relaxed and comfortable when we got home. Would use her again!”

“Excellent sitter! Provided honest and prompt updates after each check-in/visit, and always included several photos of the cat! 10/10 would recommend. Her love for animals is demonstrated”

“Shana is a very prepared sitter. When we did an initial visit, she brought a notepad and took lots of notes. My building uses the Latch app and while we didn't struggle with this at first, unfortunately on the day of Shana's visit, it decided it needed to be updated, which can be really confusing for visitors. She was able to get it to work and get inside to take care of my two cats. She sent lots of great photos and they warmed up to her right away. I'd definitely book again :)”

“Allie was able to come watch my girls on short notice and did such a great job. My girls loved her immediately and she was really thorough with doing everything I had requested. Will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone!”

“Alejandro was wonderful with Tiago! Alejandro is super responsible and took lots of adorable pictures of Tiago during his drop ins. Tiago was immediately comfortable with him and loves having his daily visits from his new best bud.”

“Sandra is such a sweetheart! She was great during the meet and greet, asked lots of questions and approached our cats gently - the more outgoing of our two kitties even trusted her for some belly rubs! While we were away, she was very communicative, and we felt confident our boys were in good hands. She did a great job and we would happily trust her to care for them again next time!”

“Ani was a really great sitter for our two dogs when we were away on a trip for a few days! She’s super friendly and the pups loved her. She provided lots of pics and a summary of each of her visits, and was super flexible for us when plans changed, definitely wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again next time we are out of town!”


“James is an excellent cat sitter. Setting up the times for key pickup and drop off was hassle free. My cat who is typically on the shyer side was immediately friendly with James.”

About: I have years of experience caring for small dogs of all ages, from active puppies to senior dogs. I’m comfortable administering medications and providing extra care for older dogs with special needs. My friendly, neutered poodle mix loves having canine companions and gets along well with other small dogs. We enjoy daily walks, playtime, and trips to local parks. I provide a safe, loving, and active environment for weekend stays and short visits. Your pup will be treated like family! 🐕💕 I work in the office 4 days per week. Dogs receive two daily walks, along with potty breaks approximately every 4 hours. My home is a dog-friendly apartment community with many resident dogs, so guests should be comfortable riding an elevator and being around other dogs in shared spaces. My friendly poodle mix enjoys companionship, and we make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and a comfortable place to relax. We are best suited for social, adaptable small dogs who enjoy being around people and other pups.

“Laura’s the best. I can’t recommend her enough. She is flexible, and I completely trust her to look after my puppy. She also takes the best puppy pictures! 🤩❤️”

“Amazing! My cat loved all the attention and I could not be happier! Excellent communication and fabulous attention all around. We are so lucky to have found Emily!!”

“Lydia took amazing care of my dog, Lumi, while I was away. She was attentive, loving, and very communicative throughout the entire stay. She made sure to take notes during her meet and greet and she followed everything in the notes I left for her. She even took the time to brush Lumi’s fur regularly, which I really appreciated. Lumi was clearly happy when I returned. I highly recommend Lydia and would absolutely book with her again!”


“Emilia is fantastic! She took excellent care of our kitty while we were away for a few days. She is very reliable, and clearly loves animals - and they love her. :) I will definitely be using her again.”

“I would definitely recommend Bailey to anyone looking for a sitter to drop in on their cat(s). I hired Bailey to drop in on my cat over a 3ish week timespan. She followed instructions carefully and, more impressively, was able to get my very shy cat to open up to her. For context, my cat is extremely wary of strangers and hides when unfamiliar people are at my house. I was very happy to eventually see pictures of my cat happily cuddling up to Bailey. Bailey also clearly cares about providing excellent care to her clients’ animals.”

“This was our first time with Leelay- and I am so happy we found her! We were so pleased to know that Bear was safe and happy with her during our trip. Even though she is a a very anxious rescue, Leelay was extremely confident with her and had no issues at all. Thank goodness for her kindness and reliability!!!”

About: I am loving and someone you can trust. I do my best to understand them and meet their needs. I love them all as if they were my own babies. I help them take them out and about and meet their needs. If they are happy with me, I will be happy too. Rest assured. My priority is their safety and happiness. I take care of everything about them myself. I don't let them walk in places I don't find safe. I take them home safely and hand them over to their family.
About: Hello there! My name is Nicole, and like many of you, I LOVE animals. Currently I live in downtown Kirkland and am open to new fluffy (or scaley) friends. I have watched pets inside my own and done visits. I am only open to boarding smaller, cat friendly dogs. :) I promise you that I will love and treat your pet with kindness and love. I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your furry friends, and will send many photos and updates while you are away. I am currently looking to fill my free time with taking care of furry little friends. I live in Kirkland and do daily walks, and if your dog wants to come along, they are more than welcome! I live in a Condo in Kirkland, WA. I am happy to take dogs to dog parks (with permission) or to just a stroll around the neighborhood. I will send updates and photos whenever I see your pet!

Lydia was wonderful with our two cats while we were away! She went above and beyond during every check-in, always staying for the full scheduled time and making sure our cats had plenty of attention and playtime. Our cats are normally pretty wary of strangers, but they quickly warmed up to Lydia, which was great to see. She also did an excellent job keeping the litter box area tidy and their water dishes clean. We felt very comfortable knowing they were in such good hands and would absolutely recommend Lydia!

Paola is the best pet sitter! We were so afraid about living our cats Milo and Pipo alone, but we found Paola ! She is responsible, dependable, trustworthy and she loves animals. Everyday during the 3 weeks she sent us photos and updates. And when we came back our cats were happy and healthy. We will rebook her always for sure! 100% recommended !! Our family love her !

Hongfei took great care of my cats over the weekend. He was very attentive, spent plenty of time playing with them, and made sure they were comfortable and happy. He even cleaned up a hairball when she threw up, which I really appreciated. It was clear that he genuinely cares about cats. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.

Vicky was an absolutely amazing pet sitter! From the very beginning, she treated our pets with so much love, patience, and care. She sent us thoughtful daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us see how happy they were while we were away. She quickly won both of our pets’ hearts, and it was clear they felt comfortable, safe, and loved with her. We feel incredibly lucky to have found someone who cared for them as if they were her own. We couldn’t recommend Vicky more highly, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Vicky, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family!

Mari is fantastic! I was in a bind with a last-minute trip and had no one to look after my kitties. I needed someone quick, but as a first-time user of a pet-sitting service, I was a bit nervous. Mari made everything so easy. Her communication was top-notch—she kept me updated with plenty of photos, and the kitties absolutely loved her. Thank you, Mari, for taking such great care of them!

Delin took such wonderful care of my cat, Tulip, while I was away for the weekend! She was always punctual, followed all of my care instructions carefully, and made sure Tulip was well looked after and loved. I really appreciated all the adorable photo updates she sent—they gave me so much peace of mind knowing Tulip was happy and in great hands. It’s clear that Delin genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again in the future! 💕
