Dog Sitting Lake Forest Park

“I had to leave a foster animal with separation anxiety for a few days and Shelly definitely went the extra mile in every way and made me feel so much better. She also takes great pictures and Olive was very well cared for.”

“AJ took great care of my cat and made sure my cat was OK when there was a fire alarm that went off in my apartment complex. He was great communicator and made me feel at ease checking in on my fur baby”

“Kayla was fantastic! Our kitty hates when we leave and she communicated so well about how he was doing and sent pictures so we could see him :) He isn’t the friendliest yet she was so comfortable with him. Would highly recommend!”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover who grew up with both dog and cats (as well as several reptiles and small animals), and currently have two kitties of my own—one of whom is a senior. I have experience caring for all ages, including senior and geriatric, all sizes of dogs (~5lbs to 100lbs+), and animals with additional medical needs such as medicated anxiety, hyperthyroidism, asthma, post-surgical care, and more. I also have a little over a year’s experience working at a holistic solutions-based pet store. I currently work part-time while I attend an online graduate program. I have flexible hours, especially during the week days, an am open to early mornings or late nights. I am more than happy to adapt to what works best for your space and pet! The most important part to me is spending time with your pet, be it interactive playtime or keeping an eye from afar.

“Marcie takes great care of our pup! She is highly attentive to details and Patty enjoys playing with her!”

About: I’m Dexter. I’ve owned dogs and cats for 26 years (my whole life), 4 different dogs and 4 different cats. I’ve trained them, spoiled them, and loved them all. I cared for them in times of good health and illness until the very end. I currently live with my family, and we have 2 golden doodles who are 5 and 6 years old. We also have 1 elderly cat that is kept in a separate area of the house. I am currently in between jobs and studying for licensing exams in the financial services industry. I don’t have any experience taking care of animals as an occupation, however, I’ve owned and taken care of pets my whole life and have a deep love for all animals. I’ve spent a significant amount of time taking care of my two golden doodles over the past 5-6 years. I also currently frequently take care of my girlfriend’s 2 year old Chocolate lab, Charlie (featured in my profile photo). All of my animals are friendly and trained, but I am happy to keep them separated if you prefer. I look forward to helping you free up your schedule and taking care of your furry friends as if they were my own. Will follow any and all instructions provided! :) I’m currently looking for full-time work but not in any hurry because I am looking for a long term career job. I spend a lot of time at home, whether I’m taking care of my animals, doing research or making food. I typically run errands and go to the gym during the day for about 2-3 hours. I have several kennels and crates in my house and plenty of toys to keep pets distracted and safe. I have a fenced yard at my home. I feel most comfortable with that environment for the safety of pets. I typically don’t take my eyes off my dogs or other pets unless I’ve put them in kennels with food, Kong and/or treat. I believe regular crate time is healthy but not always necessary if pets are well behaved. This may vary on a case by case basis.

“Stephanie is our go to for taking care of our kitty, Matcha, all throughout 2014. She’s an excellent person, she loves kitties and takes care of our home while we are out and we’ve been out quite a bit last year! Stephanie is exactly the kind of person you always wanted to have as a neighbor, just wonderful! Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Teagan has been wonderful taking care of our dog Daisy! We have used his services for regular drop in visits and he has always been prompt and accommodating to Daisy’s needs. Can’t recommend him enough!”

“Beau was really great with the dogs! My dogs are super high energy and can be kind of overwhelming at times. Beau was able to play with them and walk them while even working on their behavior. Beau was also very communicative about everything and sent pictures. I would definitely book with Beau again.”

Sierra W.

“Catie provides great info/updates about my senior doggo after a drop in visit! She's able to give him meds if needed and seems to understand my older guys needs.”

About: I have loved animals my whole life! I took care of neighbor animals when I was younger and now pet sit often for family, friends, and coworkers. I work as an educational assistant which means I work September to June during the day. I am able to be with your animals before and after work. My schedule is 8:40-3:40. Please reach out for special arrangements. I care for pets in their home to keep them comfortable with their usual surroundings. I will give them all the love! Whatever their needs may be I will make sure they get them.

About: What sets me apart is that dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve lived with at least one dog my entire life—from growing up with a Husky/German Shepherd mix and helping care for her, to having a Pug/Dachshund mix who I took on daily walks after school. Now that I live on my own, I don’t have a dog of my own, but I really miss having a furry companion around! I’d love the opportunity to give your dog some extra attention, exercise, and companionship through walks, playtime, or visits. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs, and I’m happy to follow your routines and instructions to help your pet feel comfortable and cared for. I am working as a substitute teacher and have some flexibility depending on my schedule to walk dogs. I can also drop in for visits as needed. Weekends are open for house sitting but needs to be booked in advance. I care for pets with the same patience, attention, and consistency I would want for my own pets. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure pets are safe and comfortable in their environment and keep their space clean. Before caring for a pet, I like to learn about their personality, routines, preferences, and any special instructions from their owner. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel comfortable while their family is away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: Every dog is different with energy and awareness when I take my friend’s dog for a walk, she would need time to sniff around and enjoy the sunshine Right now, I am currently studying in Seattle for helping the family business so I am available from 10 AM to 4pm Monday through Friday I usually would go over to my friends house, play with their dog and feed them and give water and keep an eye on them if they need to go to the restroom or not

“Wenlin took great care of our kitties, made sure they were well fed, played with them and send us cute pictures.”

About: What Sets Me Apart I provide more than just pet sitting—I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I also trained my own dog, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and clear communication. I treat every pet in my care like my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am currently in school. And would love to take care of your pets in the afternoons. I can check in on them and give them afternoon walks, treats and pee breaks, whatever you and your pet may need! How I Care for Pets in Your Home I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, potty breaks, and any special needs. I give pets plenty of attention and affection while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I also keep their space clean and tidy and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Tori is an excellent petsitter! She takes such good care of my boys. I appreciate her updates - always keeping me in the loop - and she takes great photos of the kittens.”

About: I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I’m that person who stops to say hi to every dog I pass, no matter where I am. Whether it’s fetch in the yard, long neighborhood walks, or simply keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every furry friend like family. I’m reliable, communicative, and always focused on your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness. You can count on me for updates, snuggles, and lots of tail wags! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to drop by for walks, playtime, or whatever your pup needs! As a drop-in pet walker, your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and always follow your pet’s routine closely. Whether it's feeding, potty breaks, or playtime, I show up on time and give your pet the same care and attention I give my own. You can trust me to keep you updated with check-ins and photos so you always know your furry friend is in good hands.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always been responsible for helping care for them. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their pets while they’re away, making sure their dogs feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I also volunteered with Guide Dogs for the Blind for four years, where I raised and trained two puppies from 8 weeks old to 20 months old. Through this experience, I gained hands-on training skills and learned how to work with dogs of different personalities, energy levels, and needs. In addition, I’ve trained both my family’s Border Collie mix and my own Golden Retriever, giving me experience with a wide range of breeds, ages, and temperaments. I truly love spending time with dogs and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your pups! My schedule is semi-flexible: I can watch your dogs 1-2 times a day and walk and play with them once a day for around an hour. Morning or evening is best to take your dogs out for walks and playtime. I live in an apartment in Seattle with my sweet Golden Retriever. The apartment has a large patio and access to safe walking trails and play areas. There are trails nearby for daily dog walks!

About: I’ve lived my entire life loving and caring for dogs — over 34 years of experience. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for walks, feeding, and overnight care. I’m excited to care for energetic puppies or senior dogs who need a gentler pace. As the fur dad of a senior golden retriever and a middle school teacher, I’m patient, consistent, loving. Your dog will be treated with the same care and kindness I give my own. I’m a full-time middle school teacher who lights up around dogs! My workday runs 7am–4pm, which means I’m happily available for weekday afternoon and evening walks and drop-ins. Overnight boarding is welcome any day of the week — as long as your dog is comfortable relaxing on their own while I’m at school. They would have the option of a fully-fenced backyard oasis with covered patio or could commandeer our couches and beds inside! My new house is pawsitively perfect for pups — fully fenced backyard with soft artificial turf, lots of greenery, and plenty of shade for lounging or zoomies. Think of it as your dog’s personal backyard resort. Inside, dogs are welcome on all furniture. My mantra is that "dogs are people too." My senior golden retriever lives here too. She’s super docile, spending most of the day napping, smiling, or begging for treats.

“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!”
