“Caroline was great with our senior kitty! She communicated well and provided detailed updates and photos. I was very comfortable the whole visit that our girl was being well cared for and that she was happy! I would use Caroline again and would definitely recommend her services to a friend! Thank you Caroline!”


“Andrea is very in detail and took cared of my dog Azhao very well. Very nice and considerate person with a lot of love. Great service and polite communications through the whole process.”


“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!”


About: I have grown up with dogs and cats. I currently live with my two cats, British shorthair boy (6 years old) and Norwegian Forest boy (4.5 years old). We have relocated from London, UK to California, and now in Kirkland, Washington. Within our family, we have 5 dogs (one maltipoo, one Yorkie, one GSD, one Schnauzer and one baby Rottweiler on the way). As a long time pet owner, I truly care the fur babies and treat them like family members. I'm currently working at home for my own business so my schedule is flexible between Monday to Friday (apart from early morning before 8am). I'm usually away on weekends. I have cared for dogs and cats for years so I understand their temper and preferences pretty well. I will encourage meet-ups with the owners before the drop-in visits for me to get to know the pets and the home environment. I'm more than happy to follow the special instructions whenever needed.

“Most patient walker ever! Twyla was highly anxious the first walk she did. Sterling was so incredibly patient with her and gave me pointers on how to make her next walk more successful. Her second walk was much better. So thrilled they stuck with us.”


“Jessilea is a great cat sitter! She gave great daily updates, asked questions when appropriate/needed, and was proactive about taking care of things as they came up (for example, noticed some plants that were asking for some water). Highly recommend- would definitely request Jessilea again for future needs!”


“Xinyu was extremely friendly, thoughtful, and took outstanding care of our three cats while we were away for a week. It is so nice to have someone who is so familiar with cat care looking after your cats. We received daily updates with cute pictures that brought us so much joy. Thank you, Xinyu!”


About: I’ve had pets my whole life, growing up with multiple dogs and now I have my own pets. I have experience with cats and dogs. I’ve trained multiple puppies, specifically on being good leash walkers. I have experience administering medication, I had a type 1 diabetic dog growing up. I love animals. I understand sometimes leaving them is stressful and hope to provide some peace of mind so you can enjoy your time away. Currently my schedule is pretty open. For a drop by or walk I can come early afternoon, evening and night. We can arrange a meet and greet and go from there. My focus is fully on your pet. Dog or cat I’ll come to you so their routine can remain mostly the same. I can do drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays.

About: Hi there!! My name is Ana, and I am so excited to meet your fur baby! I always had dogs growing up and have watched and walked other dogs for friends, family, and others multiple times throughout the years! I love animals so much and can’t wait to help take care of yours. 🤍 I currently work from home most days of the week so I’m flexible during working hours and can actively care for your pets when boarding/day care! I also have most availability on weekends, mornings, and evenings. I love animals and have lots of experience with pets. I also live a very active lifestyle so I’d love to take your dog on walks and hikes if needed!

“Sophia was AMAZING! Tons of pictures and fun little stories about their time together. My kitty made a new best friend! Highly recommend and will definitely be using her again for our next trip!”


“Brandon was patient, reliable and had great communication. He took excellent care of our anxious pup. We would definitely recommend him. Thank you for your good care!”


About: Experienced with dogs both big and small, puppies and seniors, energetic and shy. Comfortable with dogs, cats, rodents, fish and amphibians. I’ve been watching pets for neighbors, friends and family for years. Currently home all summer so I’ll have plenty of time to attend to any pet care needs. I’m available for short visits, walks, and overnight care. I care for your pets just like you do— with love, patience, and lots of attention! While you're away, I stick to their usual routine to keep them comfy and happy. Whether it's playtime, walks, meals, or snuggles, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home in their space. Your pet’s happiness (and your peace of mind!) is always my priority. You can count on me for updates and photos when you’re missing your pet.

About: Hello - I am Ra. I have loved animals all my life! But my love deepened when I become a puppy raiser for a future assistance dog during covid. His name is Felix (yellow lab). I picked him up when he was 2 months of age and he left for his former training from my care/home at the age of 14 months. One year of a strong bond, weekly/monthly training sessions, creating unique experiences for his professional development and many personal memorable moments later, it was time to say goodbye and it wasn’t an easy farewell. He left for his formal 6 month training to Oregon and in Dec 2022, I had the opportunity to say my final goodbye when he graduated and officially become an assistance service dog. It fills my heart to know that today he is an assistance dog to a lovely lady who he is his life long companion and through his service, he lives a purposeful life. 10 days before he left, I adopted Charlie (yellow lab), who confidently came into life through Felix. It was as if Felix knew I would need a companion of my own after his departure and wanted to leave me with a long term friend. Today Charlie is an extension of my love for Charlie himself and Felix - and Chase! (Chase is my 15 yr old yorkie who passed away last year peacefully in sleep, leaving us so grateful for his presence in my family’s life). Animals are remarkable creatures and they give us so much joy and ask for very little in return. I would love to give some joy back to your loved ones so let me take good care of your companions, they deserve all the love and care we can provide! [Note: the organization I volunteered with to become a puppy raiser for future assistance dog is called Dogs for Better Lives (DBL)] I'm currently working as a consultant, remotely. My schedule is very flexible and open to meet your schedule and service needs - send me a note! I will be taking care of your companion at your home based on your requirements and requirements of the individual pet as directed/needed. They will get lot of love, care and attention from me!

About: I’ve helped take care of my late dog for 15 and a half years by walking, feeding, playing, training, and giving lots of cuddling! I have also worked on training like learning new tricks (sit, shake, down, stay). I am also comfortable with senior care such as picking them up to go up and down the stairs and giving medication when needed. I do have a full time job, but I do go back home for lunch everyday for an hour. I am available more on the weekend's for walking during the evenings/drop ins on the weekdays. But everything can be changed depending on schedules on both sides. My mom and I also work together to take care of dogs and she works from home most of the week. We are a dream team! Boarding can be anytime! In my home, I have a big backyard with a fence, a doggy door for smaller dogs, and a spacious home for your dog to have all the room to play. I love to play fetch or tug of war with dogs. I believe playing is the best thing for exercise and plain fun! Rest is also important in a dog’s routine. Whatever the owner wants for their dog, I will give!

“Shayna was absolutely amazing. She cared for my puppies like they were her own. My puppies are extremely anxious and a handful but she was so patient and made sure they were loved. I will absolutely recommend her to anyone.”


About: 2025 Update: I only board small and tiny dogs at my home. I offer housesit, daycare, & drop in services at a discounted rate for homes with fenced yards when I am allowed to bring small & friendly dogs. The majority of the dogs have been with me for years and are very familiar with each other too. I also train the dogs (& they train each other!). I don’t keep more than 3-4 little dogs at my home. I don’t crate the dogs (ever). They roam freely in my home 24/7. I offer free pick up, delivery, and baths, as needed. I’m extremely flexible with time frames (early or late) I will housesit small and medium sized dogs per my availability. I ALWAYS have small dogs staying with me so you must be okay with them accompanying me. If I already have 3-4 small dogs booked during your travel dates, I can still accommodate your needs by housesitting but you must have a secure yard. I can help to secure it if needed. I stay with them 24/7 & bring all of my own linens, groceries, supplies, etc. I will block off an area of the house downstairs closest to the yard door that we will use. I roll up rugs and drape furniture with blankets so everything’s protected. Providing quality pet care is my passion! I specialize in spoiling pets & gently train puppies effectively (as a perk if needed). You will receive excellent photographs & videos of your pet/s from me each day. (I stay with them 24/7) I have no other jobs, commitments, animals, children, etc. so I am all about your pets the entire time! Only spring water is given. I am a very conscientious person with plenty of common sense! I also have a huge heart for animals. I want you to have complete peace of mind while away and absolute confidence that your pet/s are receiving the most tender loving care. I LOVE all animals, genuinely. I strive to give your pet/s the best exclusive care around the clock. I'm very present during any stay - proactive and consistent with their care, walks, meals, naps, hugs, etc. They are never unattended in a yard. I am always present to observe and keep them safe. I provide personalized care to each animal. I'm tuned in to their unique personalities & needs. I offer treats and toys per your approval. I'm holistic minded- paying close attention to their health & choose natural high quality products. I also cook them healthy meals that they love (if allowed). I can provide freeze dried raw treats which contain probiotics as an ingredient to keep them regular. I can't remember a time when I didn't have a dog in my life! Growing up with dogs, I learned what it takes to properly care for them at a young age. I've always been very responsible with my pets. My beautiful girl, Cuddles crossed the rainbow bridge at age 15 (2016). I had her since she was just a few weeks old & she had always been extremely well taken care of. People appreciated her youthful & cheerful spirit, often mistaking her for a puppy, even as a senior. I cooked healthy stews for her & gave her spring water. I walked her often & hardly ever left home without her! I only accepted positions that allowed her to accompany me. She was always happy & got along beautifully with all animals & humans. She slept in my bed on soft linens & was hand fed at times. I'm the queen of spoiling! That's partly why I so enjoy this work...it's been very healing for me as far as missing her! Hugs & kisses are given abundantly as well as loving words of reassurance, encouragement, and pet massages! Your pet/s will receive the same level of care & compassion I gave to my own. I'll honor all of your wishes & care instructions joyfully at all times. I have a site & PDF full of excellent reference letters/ detailed information that I'm happy to share with you about my experience per your request. I promise to give your pet/s lots of love, attention, keep them safe, well fed, hydrated & walked as often as needed. I'm very active, attentive, intuitive, & truly care from the heart about every animal dependent upon me. It is very rewarding work & I am fortunate to be blessed with each new assignment. I consider every connection a divine one. HOUSESITTING CLIENTS: I provide my own bedding/towels (groceries) & wash all linens/dishes I've used plus leave your home cleaner than when I arrived! I will share updates/photos/videos daily by text or email per your preference. I have managed estates, overseeing household staff of large homes and worked for many years as a trusted nanny for children from newborns to teenage! (excellent track record). I'm highly respectful of privacy and personal belongings. I'm happy to share my reviews on several other sites and will consider long term assignments/offers. Thank you for your interest. Fortunately, I am blessed to do the things I love from anywhere and have no time constraints. I’m an artist and a poet who creates my own schedule. I like to work on my writing and painting while listening to relaxing music. I also love to be in nature walking with dogs. Safety always comes first! I learned this when caring for newborn babies plus children of all ages as a professional nanny for over 20 years & I apply the same principles to the animals!

About: I’ve pet sat for both cats and dogs, and many times for families I’ve babysat for over the years. I’m used to following specific routines and caring for pets with different personalities. I’m a recent college grad, new to the area, and have lots of availability for pet care! I am currently available full time, I just graduated college and I am looking to pet sit! I am available at any time on the weekdays and am available on weekends with enough notice! I like to play with animals and make sure they feel safe with me. I will bring them outside throughout the day and follow the schedule they are used to.
