Pet Sitting in Issaquah

“Lindsay was wonderful! She took a ton of photos of my cats and provided descriptive updates on their wellbeing while I was gone. She went above and beyond with her care, including daily subcutaneous injections for my elderly cat, and both of them were happy when I got home. Would definitely recommend her care!”

“Sophia was wonderful with my two babies. She was dependable, easy to communicate and shows up on time every day. Both pups can be anxious but they settled with her immediately! We will definitely book her again in the future. Thanks Sophia!”

About: I've been a Rover Pet Sitter since 2012. I dog sit year-round. I can host up to 4 dogs + my 2 dogs. I only watch small/small medium sized dogs that are under 30 pounds! All of our doggie clients sleep in the living room area where it's gated and secured. We can provide dog beds and kennels. --- My household --- We have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where your dog will have full supervision whenever my family or I are outside. We also go on short walks throughout the day (3-4x) and sometimes long walks too. We live in a house in Issaquah WA on Squak MT (it's 5 minutes away from downtown old Issaquah; Front St ). Our area is very quiet and peaceful with lots of grassy lawns and trees for your dog to sniff and explore. --- Get to know us --- I'm a full-time stay at home mom (Wendy). I've been homeschooling my son since he was 6. But I've been home with him since he was born. I use to work as a software engineer for Boeing (13+ years). Now, I dog-sit full time while teaching my son. I've been a rover pet sitter since 2012. I've successfully completed over 500 bookings since 2012. I'm very active, available, and communicative. My husband (James) works from home full-time and loves dogs. He helps me with dog-walking, dog-feeding, and entertaining them. You'll be able to meet my husband during our meet-n-greet. He's a finance professional and works for a local tech company (18+ years). --- Calendar Dates --- Dates that are marked "unavailable" means that we are not accepting new clients for those specific dates. If you're a returning client, and you need pet care on a date that is marked unavailable, please message me and lets chat! New clients that message me 2-3 months' in advance of their vacation have a higher likely chance of booking a spot with me. --- General Policy: New Clients --- 1. New clients MUST fill out their pets' profile with the necessary care/vet/contact information. 2. After I've reviewed your pets' profile, I'll ask you a few questions to get to know your pup more! Ex. How does your pup sleep at night? Have they've been boarded before? What shampoo do you use to bath them? 3. Once I feel comfortable that I'm a good match to watch your dog, I'll setup a Meet-N-Greet. All meetings will take place at my residence. 4. "Bookings" will be accepted/confirmed once our meet-n-greet is complete --- Why I love dog sitting? --- Love at first sight! Ever since my younger brother brought home his first pet dog named Chloe (a corgi), it was just love at first sight. Chloe was very lay back, attention seeking, great friend, and knew when great food is cooking when she can smell it. I could always count on her to make me smile and laugh. Ever since meeting Chloe, I have adopted a dog of my own and enjoy caring for other doggies. They make our lives happier and lovelier. --- My dogs --- I have a 17 lb Maltese Poodle named Teddy. We adopted him when he was 2 years old. He is about 14 years old and likes other dogs and used to play with them but now he just likes to sleep a lot. We trained him very well to listen to our commands. He's very healthy and requires no medication. I also have a 12 lb Chihauha named Lucy. We adopted her on 1/29/25 from a local Bellevue WA family. She's a great dog! She's very friendly and her energy level is mild. She's about 9 years old and has no health issues. I'm a full time stay at home mom and I take care of dogs year-round. I'm always home except when running errands. I only watch Small/Small Medium size dogs who are 32 lbs or less. I like taking the dogs out for a walk 3-4x a day. I have a fully fenced backyard where your pup will always be supervised, whenever we are outside. My house is very spacious and clean. I like to vacuum and wash the hardwood floors at least every other day. Safety is key when your dog is in my care. My house has a lot of room for your doggie to run around and play. I have AC for those hot summer days. I have filtered water always available. Each dog eats in the gated kitchen alone from other dogs so there won’t be any stealing food or fighting over food. My place is kept very clean. I vacuum and wash the hardwood floors at least once every other day. The living room/kitchen/dining area is non carpeted and gated from the rest of the house so I can keep an eye on their safety while I home-school my son. I also have a fully fenced backyard where the dogs have a blast playing, exploring and running around and always supervised. Your dog is welcome to roam around the yard supervised as long as you are okay with it. I know some owners rather not have their dogs go out to any yard at all or prefer to have them leased whenever they are outside, and I will respect that. Just specify your preference.

“Morgan is a true cat whisperer! Our 19yo male cat is such a scaredy-cat I figured we wouldn’t get pictures of him all week. Wrong! Morgan was able to get pictures of him most days. And they were not just of his tail disappearing around the corner but of him relaxing in his favorite sleeping spots. Well done, Morgan!”

“Pam did an amazing job taking care of our two elderly dogs! She stopped by right at 6:30am each day and always left detailed visit notes and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, caring, and very attentive to their needs. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter! Thank you for waking up so early for Summer and Emmi!”

Everything was clean when we got home, the cats were all happy as bugs in a rug and I really appreciate your extra effort in getting up here even on the bad weather days and sending me daily updates. I'll definitely contact you next time we're going away!”

“Vanessa took great care of our cat for 4 days of drop in visits. She was reliable, flexible and even threw a few flakes out for our fish. The pictures she sent each day made it apparent that our cat was in good hands and behaving in her normal pattern. Vanessa also took great care in managing the security of our house. Thank you Vanessa!”

About: With an early love of animals, pet sitting was my first ever official job as an elementary schooler. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and fish. Although I don’t live with them anymore, my family fosters dogs, so I’ve been around many breeds. I work hybrid and on days I go into work my commute is 5 mins down the hill, so coming home is easy. On weekends I’m available as well. Although I don’t have my own yard, I live very close to several parks and a walking path that is popular for people with dogs.

“We returned home yesterday and think that our two fur babies were hoping Andrew was coming through the door instead of their boring parents. We couldn’t be happier with the arrangement and love the photos.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets both personally and through friends for over 7 years. I’m a dedicated cat mom to two cats of my own, so I understand feline behavior, routines, and how important patience and trust are when caring for cats. I’m very comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box care, playtime, and giving lots of affection (on your cat’s terms!). In addition to caring for my own cats, I’ve also provided boarding and in-home care for my friends’ dogs for many years. I have experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet is energetic or shy, I always take time to understand their personality and routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I work full-time with flexible hours, so I’m available for drop-in visits after 5 PM on weekdays and have flexible availability on weekends. I’m happy to accommodate evening visits and can be flexible with timing on Saturdays and Sundays based on your pet’s needs. When I visit pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. For each drop-in, I make sure your pet is fed on schedule, has fresh water, and gets plenty of attention and care. I clean litter boxes, refresh food and water bowls. For cats, I move at their pace — giving them space when needed and affection when they want it. I spend time playing, brushing (if they enjoy it), and making sure they feel comfortable and calm. For dogs, I provide potty breaks, short walks (if requested), feeding, and playtime to help keep them happy and relaxed. I always take a few minutes to check each pet’s overall well-being and will let you know if I notice anything unusual. I also send photo updates and messages so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in your absence.

“Brooke is simply amazing. She came to walk our dog so last minute and really saved the day for us. She is so sweet and very communicative. She was also so good with our pup who can be very shy. She took her for a long walk and made sure to clean her paws. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone. Brooke is wonderful!”

Maili D.

“Kathryn was prompt and did a great job watching our cat, keeping the cat’s areas clean and updating us after each visit. Our kitty obviously liked her. She also brought in packages while we were away which was very helpful. I would highly recommend Kathryn!”
