About: I have been a major dog lover since I was younger, when my mom and I rescued a retired greyhound. Ever since I have learned to crate, potty and leash train dogs of all sizes. During my time in university I pet and house sat for different families in my community providing undivided attention, daily walks and love from an animal lover who was in need of some pet time! I currently work 4 days a week with plenty of flexibility to change days of the week allowing for full attention during walks and check ins. With three days off I am happy to do longer walks and stays when possible! Providing a safe and comfortable environment is priority. With only one set of neighbors below our apartment and plenty of space inside and a park across the street, there is more than enough space and limited noise for your pets. When caring for pets in their own space I follow the clients guidelines and schedules to ensure pets are relaxed and maintain routine.


About: Hello! My name is Andy, some personal qualities include affection, patience, and the ability to connect with any dog (some cats). As well as these qualities, I was raised in a family to be empathetic towards all animals, not just dogs, and to respect the ways an owner raises his or her own pets. Actually my old dog Watson, who passed away, recieved the first designated car over my brother and I! Big, small, young, old, skittish or friendly dogs to me or other pets, deserve a great amount of attention and affection as a good boye (gurle) will always recieve this under my care. Dog walks to dog parks, or hikes are all part of my repetoire in taking the best care of your loved one. I am currently working part-time and have a very flexible schedule, allowing for extended periods of time if needed to help take care of your fur baby! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, consistent, and loving environment. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, and any medication needs. I treat your space with respect and leave everything clean and tidy. For drop-in visits and dog walks, I make sure your pet gets quality time, exercise, and attention, not just the basics. If your pet stays in my home, they’ll enjoy a cozy, safe space with lots of affection, enrichment, and supervision. I genuinely enjoy bonding with each animal and making them feel happy and secure while you're away.

“Highly recommend Emily who I’ve found to be a great communicator, reliable and friendly and takes great care of my four month old pup! Grateful for her service!”


About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my deep love for animals combined with a calm, reliable, and intuitive approach to care. I specialize in both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs, understanding the unique needs of each stage. Whether it’s crate training, potty schedules, or administering medications, I provide attentive, tailored support. I treat every dog like family—always ensuring they feel safe, loved, and understood. With a background in wellness and a natural sense of routine, I’m great at maintaining structure while giving plenty of affection and play. Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care—whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or relaxed evening check-ins. I work remotely and have a flexible lifestyle, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, structure, and affection throughout the day. Your pup’s well-being becomes my top priority, and I love creating a rhythm that keeps them happy, healthy, and at ease. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top prioritie- whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine. I always take time to understand your dog’s routine, preferences, and personality, so I can create a stress-free, familiar environment. In your home, I maintain your pet’s usual schedule and surroundings to help them feel secure. In my home, pets are treated like family with a clean, calm space that’s both cozy and supervised. I follow any feeding, medication, and exercise instructions exactly and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.

About: Hello! I’m known for my calm energy and keen observational skills👁️👁️ I can quickly sense what a dog needs or if something is bothering them. I offer high-quality, relaxed walks and personalized care that puts your pet’s comfort first. With my gentle, attentive approach, I will always make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved during every walk or visit! As a freelancer, I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Taking care of pets isn’t just something I fit in—it’s already part of how I spend my time. I always prioritize what the family highlights as most important. From there, I stay observant and responsive: if I notice anything that could pose a risk or discomfort to the pet, I take immediate action to remove or resolve it. Creating a safe and trusting environment is always my top priority!


About: Hi I am Olivia (aka Si). I love dogs, cats and all small animals. I have one Shiba Inu and two British Shorthair. I've taken care of dogs, cats, and other small animals like rabbits, and guinea pigs for more than 10 years. When I was in Seattle, I volunteered at the Seattle Humane Society in my spare time, and was a foster parent. I always help my friends or my parents' friends to take care of their dogs and cats when they are away, and I received very positive feedback every time when they back. I am willing to spread my passion of love to anyone who needs help. Pets are our friends, our family, so it is important to give them many cares just like how we care our close friends and family. I'm normally working from home so I can be available on weekdays and weekends. I am working from home most of the time, so I am flexible with your time. I can do weekdays or weekends. Feel free to inquire. I live in an apartment and will be able to separate your pet from mine if needed. I will feed them separately and ensure they have their own food.

“Fernan is a pleasure to work with. He’s caring, attentive and takes his commitments seriously. He is prompt in his communication - which put me at ease from the beginning. He took the time to connect with my stubborn, (yet adorable), senior pug on their daily walks. Highly recommend Fernan for your fur baby!”

Andrew S.
“Our family has had several rescue dogs over the years, each with their own unique personalities and needs. Andy has always shown a natural empathy and affection for animals, and he has consistently demonstrated patience and understanding in his interactions with them. He takes the time to get to know each dog's temperament and responds to their individual needs with care and thoughtfulness. Andy has often been the primary caregiver and dog walker in our household, especially when we've been away. He handles responsibilities with maturity and attention, making sure the dogs feel safe, exercised, and well cared for. His awareness of his surroundings while walking dogs is excellent, and he always prioritizes their safety and comfort. Growing up in a home full of animals, including dogs with various temperaments and other small pets, Andy developed a strong connection with animals early on. He is truly a natural with dogs and has a calm, grounded presence that animals respond well to. I highly recommend him for any dog walking or pet care role—he’s reliable, kind, and has a genuine love for animals.”
