Cat Sitting Kangley

About: Hi there my name is Kelsey and I have centered my life around the health and well being of our furry friends. I spent 6 years working in pet insurance and have gained a lot of knowledge about how to create healthy and safe environments for our animals. The key is giving them time to warm up to a new environment, routine care and lots of affection. My own dog turns 15 this year and people still ask me if she is a puppy because of how active and happy she is around others. I always treat every animal as if they are my own and would be honored to do so for your pet too. I spend the majority of my time at home, hanging out in the backyard and have a pretty flexible schedule. We’d go outside at least 5-10 times a day, always early in the morning and right before bed. I have a fenced yard on over an acre of land and lots of non-harmful plants that my dogs loves to sniff around. When the dogs are outside I will be right there with them enjoying the afternoon.

“Lora was so sweet and did a great job of keeping me in the loop and sending photos of my cats while I was out of town! It made me feel so much better knowing they were well taken care of.”

About: I have been a dog sitter awhile and have gained a lot of experience. I have done overnight stays, check ins, dog walks, and more. I have a puppy of my own and have grown up with dogs my whole life. Neighbors, friends, and more have trusted me to check in on their pets, feed them, and play with them. Worked with many different dogs and various ages. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to come check in on the pups and play with them. My work schedule does change depending on the week but I am available every day of the week. I am free mornings and nights and would have time mid day to check in on the dogs. I have a fenced yard for my dog and I walk him twice a day so he can get his energy out. I would walk your dogs how ever much is needed. Additionally, I would make sure to check in on them multiple times outside of my other jobs to ensure that they are good and can be let out. I am comfortable making sure any necessary medication is given on time and that they are also fed at there normal times. I know how much pets need to play and I would love to play fetch and more with your pets!!

About: My family has owned cats since I was born. I began taking care of my cats at the age of 10 (scooping the litter boxes, feeding, administering medications, etc.). We did not ever own a dog, however I have experience being around dogs including feeding, walking, and cleaning up after them. I used to volunteer as a shelter helper at Regional Animal Services of King County. I also volunteered and fostered kittens for South County Cats. I currently work full-time at a different job. I am completely available Wednesdays and Thursdays. I am free from 6AM-10:30AM on Tuesdays and Fridays and can do drop-in visits and/or dog walking during those hours, as well as any other day (Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays) after 6PM. I understand that entrusting your pet and home to me is a huge amount of trust to put into a stranger. I can assure you that your animal will be well-taken care of and that I only have the best in mind for your pet. I diligently follow directions and can understand animal behavior cues in order to make my visit as stress-free as possible for the animal. I can crate dogs if needed and can administer any medications if needed. I can promise consistent communication from me about each visit.

“I needed a same-day drop in, and Courtney responded within a minute of my request! She asked clarifying questions before the visit and took lots of pictures. I would definitely ask Courtney to look in on my pets again.”

“Abigail is genuinely the best pet sitter I’ve ever hired. She was super accommodating with a last-minute booking and made everything really easy. My dog can be pretty anxious, but he was comfortable with her from the start. She took such good care of him, letting him sunbathe like he loves and spent time cuddling with him. You can tell she genuinely enjoys being around animals and treats them with real love and patience. Even one of my cats, who usually hides for weeks with new people, started coming out and hanging around her after just a couple visits. She has a calm, kind energy that animals seem to instantly trust. She was always on time, sent detailed updates, and included great photos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. You can really tell she loves what she does and has a natural connection with animals. Super lucky to have found her, definitely my first choice from now on and I’m pretty sure my pets would agree.”

About: I've taken care of animals since I was 8yrs old. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and care for their pets ranging from dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, guinea pigs, turtles, etc... I'm currently operating a pet services company; so all of my time is focused around pets and my calendar is scheduled around your pets and other's My family and I show lots of love and give lots of pets to any pups in our house. I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup named Kirra to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate if your pet feels more comfortable that way

“Olivia was great and very communicative, highly recommended!”

About: I have worked with over 100 dogs during the course of my career so far. Most of my dog handling experience comes from working at a doggy daycare after I graduated high school. This experience gave me a lot of skills including handling multiple dogs at once, keeping track of meals and medication, and recognizing dog behavior in a variety of different breeds. This job gave me so many opportunities to bond with dogs of all sizes as if they were my own, give them exercise, and time to play with other dogs. Although, I learned to become good at handling a large group of dogs at once I prefer to work with smaller groups. It gives me more time to bond one on one with animals and allows me to better understand their individual needs (including lots of scratches and belly rubs). Working at a dog daycare has not been my only dog related experience. I have house and dog sat for multiple families a few summers in a row now. I enjoy providing an extra support system to dogs when their loved ones leave and giving them the love and attention they deserve. On top of these other experiences I have also grown up with dogs my entire life and in my late teens my Dad started fostering dogs for an agency. I really enjoyed taking care of these dogs and helping provide them with a good safe home until they were adopted. Every dog that has been a part of my life has provided so much joy and as I can't currently have a pet of my own I would love to be extended family to your dog. I'm currently a student at Western Washington University home for the summer. I don't have any other job as of now and will be able to provide full attention, walks, on-time feedings, etc. for your precious pet. I will be taking a few online credit hours for college over the summer, this does not take much time and I will be home to make sure all of your pets needs have been met. Whenever I house sit I usually fall into a routine that revolves around what the pet is used to, like their walk and feeding schedule. Although, I may have short outings and activities throughout the summer on the day I am booked for, my calendar should be up to date with the days that I am not available. I am very responsible when it comes to taking care of animals and organized. Safety is very important to me and I have had experiences working at the doggy daycare stopping dogs from eating unsafe things or safely separating dogs that were showing aggression towards each other. Although I don't expect any of these things to happen to your pet while they are in my care, it is better to be safe than sorry. I am also good with being on time to everything and this translates to making sure that pets are given their food on time (if they have a specific schedule). Your pet will be very safe and very loved during my time staying with them.

“Andrew took great care of Shadow while we were out of town. He sent updates and pictures which gave us peace of mind. He even braved the April snow storm to make sure Shadow was taken care of. Our pup was happy and healthy when we got home.”

I understand the stress of finding someone you can trust with your "fur babies," and I am here to provide the peace of mind you need while you’re away. We have Luke, our sweet 6-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix, and Gabe, our 10-year-old cat. Our home is a pet paradise!

A "Mom’s" Perspective: I treat every guest pet with the same love, routine, and attention I give my own kids and pets. I have a flexible work from home schedule, so I have plenty of time on weekdays and weekends to care for your fur babies.

For overnight or day visits, I have a fenced back yard with turf and two friendly pets to keep them company in my home. I will always treat your home and your fur babies with love and respect during drop-in and walking visits. Under my care, I will give your pets my sole attention and ensure they are happy and loved while you are away.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I share my home with two Huskies, Thor and Bird, along with two cats. Growing up around a wide variety of animals gave me hands-on experience with diverse breeds and temperaments. Additionally, my father is a veterinary surgeon with over 50 years of experience, which instilled in me a deep respect for animal health, safety, and proper care protocols from an early age. Highly flexible availability for in-home care, house sitting, and local meet-ups. While I cannot accommodate boarding in my own home due to my resident pets, I am fully available to travel to you. Message me directly to coordinate scheduling, logistics, and care instructions. For your convenience and peace of mind, I am available to provide care directly at your home or arrange meet-and-greets within the Maple Valley and Renton areas. To ensure a seamless experience, we can discuss specific scheduling, location details, and care instructions via Rover chat.

“Laura is incredibly efficient and mindful, and so good as I have two dogs that are a bit aggressive when folks first come to the door and she moves with them with confidence and they all love her including my older dog who has nine. She is simply delightful, and you can be very confident in her care for your critters I also booked her next week”

“Tammy was prompt and took wonderful care of our cat while we were out of town. She sent us several pictures of our cat which put our minds at ease. I will definitely be booking with her when the need arises. ?”

About: I have been pet sitting for years, either through families/neighbors I know or through facebook. I love animals, I have two dogs of my own and grew up with cats. I am reliable and punctual, and ready to help! I am currently a student and working part time, and with my college schedule I have pretty open days to stop by and stay a while with your pet. I am available most nights for help as well. I understand every pet is different and they all have different needs, and because of this I make sure that every animal is safe at all times. This includes checking gates/locks, cleaning up, and always keeping an eye out for their safety, as well as their happiness :)

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since my family adopted our first family dog, Estella, in 2018. Since then, I've accumulated hundreds of hours of walking time, helped train Estella and our current family dog, Jade, learned to listen to their needs (when they need pets, outside time, play time, etc.), and, of course, gained experience cleaning up dozens of messes. Over the years I have also been relied on to cat-sit and dog-sit for two families when they were out of town. I am confident in my ability to give your pets what they need while you're away and can't wait to meet them! I just graduated from college and am still working on securing a job, which means I have lots of time to give your pets the attention they need! Until further notice, my availability for pet care is wide open. My goal for caring for your pets is, first and foremost, following the schedule and expectations that you've already set for them. It's super important to me that all the hard work you've put in with training, rule-setting, and care is continued even when you aren't there. After that, it's also important that I stay attentive to what your pets need. I make sure I'm paying attention to indications that they want to be let outside, want to be pet, or want to play.
