“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.”

“Nicole was friendly, punctual, and did a great job of communicating about her visit with our dog, and sent pictures so we could feel at ease that all was okay! We felt our dog was in great hands and would highly recommend Nicole!”

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.
“Sandra was so great! She checked in a bunch, and was so lovely with my animals. She even straightened up a bit! Highly recommend! I will be booking with her into the future, instead of trying to rope in friends/family. Thank you Sandra!”

“This is the first time we used Shana. She responded on very short notice to take care of our senior cat and we could not have been more pleased with the excellent care she provided to our cat. We will be using Shana in the future and would highly recommend her to care for your pet too.”

“Ni took great care of my cat! She is always on time very nice and gentle with my cat, and also playing with her a lot. So many lovely pictures and videos taken and sent to us, really appreciate everything!”

“Allie was an awesome cat sitter for the weekend i was away. My younger cat, Mylo, even made friends with her, which is amazing because he’s usually nervous with new people. I came home to happy cats and a tidy home, and I’d gladly book her again.”

“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!!!”


“James was great! Always on time and very kind to my dog, and my mother, who was at home alone with all my pets. He even brought her a plate of Thanksgiving giving dinner, knowing she was home alone. She was so happy! Thank you James.”

“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.”


About: I am and always have been an animal lover. I was the kid who always brought home stray cats and dogs convinced my parents to keep them. I rescued my own first dog 8 years ago, rehabilitated and trained her (a 5-year-old pittie called Missy who sadly passed away a couple of years ago). Since then I have been dog sitting and dog walking for friends and family. I currently have a 6-year-old white fluffball of a cat called Jasper and I am also a volunteer with Seattle Humane. I am more comfortable with dogs who are past the puppy stage but am open to all ages (I've never had a puppy). I'm very happy to do meet and greets to ensure you feel comfortable about the fit. I’ll always share photos and updates so you know how your fur baby is doing as this is so important to me as a pet owner. I am currently not working full-time so I have plenty of space for helping out with your fur babies. I am available during the working week for dog walks and house visits, plus I can do short stay pet sitting. I prefer to sit in my clients' homes when they are away so that their pets stay in their normal routine and in the environment they know and are comfortable in.
“I cannot recommend Ani highly enough! She is an absolute gem when it comes to caring for our dogs. She is incredibly reliable, always happy to accommodate our drop-in requests, and truly goes the extra mile. Our pups adore her! She's patient, playful, and provides them with lots of love and attention. We appreciate her for letting our dogs out, refreshing their water, and showering them with treats. Our high-energy pup is especially lucky to have her as she knows just how to tire her out with endless rounds of fetch. She's more than just a dog walker; she's a trusted member of our family!”

“As always, Lydia takes excellent care of my cats! She is meticulous and detailed in her updates, takes great pictures, and my cats love to see and play with her!”

About: Hi, I’m Star! ⭐️ I’ve spent years caring for my own pets and helping out with friends’ pets when needed. I know every animal has a different personality, and I love getting to know what makes them happy. Whether that’s walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or just hanging out together, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a pet owner myself. I’m available any day of the week, with morning availability on weekdays and a flexible schedule on weekends. I’ll follow any instructions you leave for feeding, medications, routines, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine.
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.
About: What sets me apart is my attention to detail and consistency. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and preferences so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I’ve always enjoyed being around dogs and have a real appreciation for their energy and personalities. I don’t currently have pets of my own, which allows me to fully focus on giving attentive, one-on-one care during each visit. I’m comfortable working with a range of dogs, from playful and energetic to more relaxed, and I enjoy making sure they get the activity, structure, and attention they need. I work remotely from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent, reliable pet care throughout the day. I’m generally most available for walks and check-ins in the afternoons and early evenings during the workweek. I can also accommodate weekends when needed, especially for recurring clients or advance requests. I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality, and I follow all instructions closely to ensure consistent and safe care. During visits, I focus on keeping pets engaged, well-exercised, and cared for, while also respecting the client’s home and keeping things clean and secure. I’m observant of any changes in behavior and will communicate updates regularly for peace of mind. I have recently gained valuable experience caring for high-energy puppies and understand the importance of structure, exercise, and attention.

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! 💕

Elissa took great care of my dog while I was out of town celebrating my birthday. She was punctual, responsible, and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She kept me updated during each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. I really appreciated how reliable and caring she was throughout the entire experience. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Elissa!

Ning is a fantastic pet sitter! She took excellent care of Mocha and followed all instructions perfectly. She is communicative, reliable, and has a wonderful way with animals. I felt completely at ease leaving Mocha in her care and will definitely book with her again.

已经不记得这是第几次请 Lydia 照顾我们家小猫了 🐱每一次都特别放心,也能感受到她是真的很用心在照顾毛孩子。最高评价大概就是——我愿意为了 Lydia 一直住在 BRK 附近😂想狠狠好评,但又有点担心越来越多人发现 Lydia,导致我们以后约不上 lol…而且每次收到的猫咪照片都堪称经典😂强烈推荐!❤️ I’ve honestly lost count of how many times we’ve booked Lydia to take care of our cat 🐱Every single time, she goes above and beyond, and we always feel completely at ease knowing our cat is in such caring hands. My highest compliment is probably this: I’d be willing to keep living in the BRK area just so we can continue booking Lydia 😂I want to leave the best review possible, but I’m also a little worried that too many people will discover her and we’ll never be able to book her again lol…And the photos she takes of our cat are always iconic — every update feels like a professional photoshoot 📸Highly, highly recommend! ❤️

She did great with cooper, he’s a naturally shy dog but Liliana was very good with him. She sent pictures every visit and kept me up to date always. I can tell she has a love for animals and I would definitely rely on her again to deliver quality service to my dog when I’m gone.
Zheru was great with our cat! This was our first time leaving our cat alone and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We received a lot of cute photos and a video everyday, as well as a detailed description of the visit. Our cat quickly became affectionate with Zheru and seemed to be very excited to see her each day for playtime. I would highly recommend Zheru!
