“Nayantara was great at taking care of my dog. They came when I expected them, gave a Rover report card for each visit that included pictures every time. I loved seeing where they walked, that my dog was fed, how many times he peed and pooped. I would absolutely recommend Nayantara to all and will use them again.”


“Tori really helped put our mind at ease by caring for our cat (including administering her medication) during our recent vacation. Tori provided clear communication and pictures every day so we could see our pet was well taken care of. Would highly recommend!”


“Kayla was absolutely phenomenal to have as our pet sitter. Not only did she answer our sudden call to look over our two cats for almost two weeks after we had to fly out-of-state for a family emergency (with only less than a couple days notice!), but she went above and beyond by giving our cats plenty of playtime and attention during her visits and was even generous enough to take out our recycling and trash before she wrapped up. It really eased our minds so we could focus on our other family members. Seriously cannot recommend her enough and rest assured your cats will be in great hands under her care. Would absolutely rehire her again for our future (and hopefully less abrupt) trips! 🙌”


About: I have a golden retriever age 4 I take care of in my own home. And I’m a collegiate XC and track runner willing to go the distance with the pets and take care of them the best I can. I am fast no pun intended and reliable and would love to take care of any pet! Also looking for a summer job to pay for college and this is hopefully what I can rely on! I’m looking for summer work to pay for college and I’m a collegiate runner at Western Washington university. My availability is very open and flexible. I just run 80 miles a week and lift currently. And fit enough to walk, run, play, and feed pets. I have a fenced yard and gated off living room to keep away from kitchen and other rooms. And also a little dog crate whenever they get sleepy or need a room to calm down in.

“So grateful for Marie! She took care of our little cat last minute and had no qualms about it. She is trustworthy and reliable; a great sense of relief when we were across the country. Thank you again!”


“Kaeleigh was super communicative and took tons of pictures of my boy! I felt like he was in really good hands and I really appreciated knowing everything that was going on with him and my home while I was away. Thank you!”


“Lily was very communicative, and responded quickly to all messages. She also sent lots of great photos and updated me on each of my pets! I’m glad she’s the one taking care of them.”


“Michael was most helpful in facilitating my trip abroad over Memorial Day weekend. He was incredibly communicative and a friendly person, too. He dropped in to check on my cats and made sure that the house was well in order for when I returned. Definitely recommend!”


About: Hi! I’m Ben. Two things I’ve always loved are animals and long walks outdoors, so dog walking is perfect for me. I have 2 dogs myself, Olive (11) and Charlie (4). My fiancee and I raised them from puppies and they are our world. I have a calm disposition that most dogs respond well to. I’m also used to different behavior patterns in dogs, having raised dogs of my own. I look forward to meeting and caring for your furry friend! I work part time from home so it is easy for me to perform walks during the day when it may be inconvenient for others. I have two large dogs (60-75 lb range) who I am used to taking on walks. I am patient and get along well with animals. I am also cautious and prioritize the safety of the animals I care for.

About: If you want your pup to be treated like a family member while you're gone, we're ready to shower them with affection! We believe that every couch, walk, or nap is better with a dog, and love interacting with dogs of all kinds. We are lifetime dog owners, and have particular experience with dachshunds. As foster dog parents for several local rescue organizations, we have welcomed many foster dogs into our home, helped them prepare for the future, and rejoiced when they found their forever family. We especially love senior dogs and are experienced with medication administration and senior dog health issues. We have a two-adult home with semi-flexible work schedules. While you're gone you can expect frequent texts or emails with pictures and updates on your pet. I’m currently working from home so can tailor my schedule to your dog’s needs! We walk daily so exercise will be part of their day too. I do my best to maintain the regular routines of the dogs we watch and make sure all their physical and emotional needs are met.

“I can’t recommend Mary enough! She was warm, communicative, and clearly experienced with animals. Dolly instantly felt comfortable when meeting her, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Throughout the stay, I received daily updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful messages that made me feel completely connected. When I returned, my Dolly girl was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. Will definitely book with Mary again!! If you’re looking for someone who treats your pet like family, look no further. [Sitter’s Name] is dependable, kind, and absolutely wonderful with animals. We’ll definitely be booking again!”


About: For years, I have taken in strays to care for and helped out friends with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have worked closely with a dog trainer(specifically service dog handling) and love to include tips and tricks with dogs and owners who would want some guidance. I love dogs and include my own Mercury in as many adventures as I can. With a best friend in VetMed, I am no stranger to veterinary care and always have assistance a call away if needed. Mercury is very friendly and experienced with having other dogs over, he sometimes helps me with friends who want some dog training help also. Mercury and I would love to care for your best friend in whatever way we can! Pet care is a daily activity in our home, enrichment too. I am a helicopter parent and would be with any pet in my care. Whatever your pet needs, I am willing to offer, and will of course let you know if it’s not possible. I live in an apartment, but live very close to a large fenced field that I take my dog to often to run around, and I will take yours if you're comfortable (I have long leashes for those who may not have great recall). If your pet is crate trained, we have more than enough space to keep a crate in the home. I walk my dog around our complex a few times a day, and also on long walks in the neighborhood. The same or more can be offered to your pet depending on its needs.

About: Mom at heart here - to humans and fur babies. I offer the kind of love that all living creatures deserve, especially ones that don't communicate with words. Being a mom to a special needs child has given me the patience and Spidey senses to anticipate needs, and pick up on cues from our non-verbal friends. I promise to provide a fun and safe environment for your dog or cat friend - whether that be in my home or any place when in my care. I don't have any pets of my own. But I have big house that I enjoy filling with the sounds and bountiful energy of someone else's lovely pets. I've had cats most of my adult life, and grew up always having a dog. My last dog was an energetic and clumsy Dalmatian named Kramer (yep, like in Seinfeld). He always knew how to make an entrance :) I work full-time from home (M-F). So flexibility is the name of the game. I have online work meetings and calls, here and there. But your pet will have a full view of me when I care for them in my home. My desk is set up in an large, open concept space, with lots of hardwood floors and a cushy couch for them to watch me work. I even keep toys near my desk for that impromptu 'catch' or 'fetch' session. And in between meetings, I will give them play time, potty breaks and walks. My back yard is large, but not fenced. If your dog prefers to run carefree and has difficulty with recall, I promise to keep them on a leash when exploring the surrounding flora and fauna of my yard. For neighborhood walks, we offer lotsa bushes to smell and grass to chew on. And for additional exercise, there are nearby dog parks to make new friends and burn off some energy.

About: I grew up with dogs since I was 4 and learned how to take care of them. I really love playing/walking/ and being around any size of dogs. I am available every day, any time of the week. I will go on long walks with the puppies and play with them until they are all tuckered out. I have a fenced in yard to keep two of my pups safe and to play with each other. They always have enough toys to play with. I would make sure their bowls are always full with their food and water.

About: I am often called a “dog whisperer “ by family and friends. I am sensitive to the wide array of personalities and the wide array of histories that are unique to each one. I am quite comfortable in all situations in caring for a dog and making sure that their needs are met; walking, exercising, relaxing and comfort. I have experience with puppies as well as aged dogs. I have administered medications and provided therapeutic care with ailing dogs. I can bathe and even do some grooming if necessary. I have full control of my work week and I am able to schedule appointments easily and with great flexibility. I am set up to care for animals in my life. I have a fenced in yard and live just off the Burke Gillman Trail. It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach! I have dog beds and dog accoutrements. I have a quiet and peaceful home.

She understands the benefits of regular exercise for humans and pets and does it joyfully. She knows each family has their own unique set of rules for their pets and will encourage those rules. I watched her personal journey with her rescue dog, Chica, who just died at the age of 17 years. She experienced the changing needs of an animal from baby to older adult. She will protect your animal with her whole being.”
