Alexa and Connor were good communicators and were willing to come out to do a meet and greet before confirming booking. Overall I had a good experience and would rebook with them again! Like they said you get two for one in their pricing. My cats warmed up to them and were taken well care of while I was on travel.

Angel and my nervous dog had another great visit and walk today! Angel’s care for my boy is evident from the thorough report cards and awesome photos I receive. I know he is in great hands with Angel!

About: Trustworthy, Reliable & Attentive Care for Your Pet and Home 🐕🐈🏡 . I had two dogs growing up in the South Sound area 🐶🐶, have done some wonderful house and pet-sits which resulted in 12 out of 12 Five-Star reviews from a leading global house-sitting platform. You can see screenshots of these reviews in my photo gallery! Let me know if you’d like me to share my many excellent professional work references and 40+ positive Airbnb reviews. . While I used to pet sit while traveling with my teen daughters, I now operate strictly as a solo sitter/ walker, and will be the only person providing care for your pets and visiting your home. . As a UW-Seattle graduate, former sales and marketing executive, and current online business owner / remote worker, I bring absolute respect, clear communication, professionalism and mature responsibility to your home. I’m a clean, quiet, middle-aged gal who doesn't smoke, drink or (heaven forbid) do drugs. . I’m keen to supplement my income with something active and fun that I love doing but this time, for my own local community... taking care of adorable pets! 🐱🐶 . What I’d Love to Offer Your Household: . 🐶🐱 Attentive Pet Care: I’ll treat your pets like family, making sure they get plenty of love, walks, play, and that their daily routine is followed. Even shy, sensitive and senior dogs and cats take a shine to me. . 🏡 Respectful Home Care: I am tidy, follow directions well, and will always respect your space. I’m happy to handle daily household needs like watering plants, bringing in mail/packages, and taking out the garbage. I pride myself on leaving pet sit homes in the exact same condition I found them if not better. . 📱Regular Communication: I’m happy to text you updates and send photos of your favorite cuties regularly so you can be rest assured that they are doing well in my care. 💬📸🐶🐱 . 💊 Medical Needs: I have experience administering medications and handling unexpected situations (like vet visits) calmly and efficiently. . 🚙 Active Adventures: If you would like me to, I’d be happy to take energetic dogs to local trail outings or the nearest dog parks to get their wiggles out and socialize. The back of my SUV is clean and animal ready. . 🗓️ Schedule & Routine: For overnight sits, I’ll stay in your home so your pets feel comfortable in their own environment. My schedule is flexible, but a few days a week I step out for mid-morning local errands and appointments that take no more than 6 hours maximum. Outside of those hours, your pets will have my full attention. Because I run an online business, I will often be working on my laptop right at your home while your pup snoozes at my feet or your cat snuggles on my lap. . I look forward to having a Meet-and-Greet to ensure we are a perfect fit for a happy, comfortable sit! 🗓️ For pet/house sits, I provide dedicated overnight care in your home so your pets can feel comfortable in their own environment while you are away. I will enjoy spending my evenings playing with your pets, or we can snuggle together and watch a dog or cat-friendly flick on Netflix! . My schedule is flexible, but a few days a week I step out for mid-morning local errands and appointments that take no more than 5 or 6 hours maximum. Outside of those hours, your pets will have my full attention. Because I run an online business part-time, I will often be working on my laptop right at your home while your pup snoozes at my feet or your cat snuggles on my lap. . I'm also available for drop ins to check on your cuties and take care of their needs. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. Over 12 pet owners have rated me 5 stars (on another platform... see photos)) and praised me for providing trustworthy and safe care as well as keeping their homes clean and respected. . When house sitting, I ensure all doors and gates are securely locked at all times, food and hazards are kept out of reach, and dogs are always kept on a secure leash during walks. I’m highly observant of any changes in a pet's energy or appetite, and I keep owners updated daily with photos and messages. Please view screenshots of my verified reviews directly in my photo gallery! =) . For peace of mind, I highly recommend an in-person Meet & Greet before our first scheduled service. This helps establish a great rapport between us and, most importantly, between me and your pets. That way, I’m already a familiar face to your fur babies when I arrive for the sit, and we can start off on the right paw! . I am glad to care for well-behaved large dogs! I am comfortable walking a single large dog that might pull a bit, but to ensure safety, I prefer not to walk two strong pullers simultaneously. I had a frustrating experience once trying to use those silly backpack harnesses / leashes on my human twins when they were toddlers and they tried to run in opposite directions at the Puyallup Fair or kept going around my legs so I couldn’t walk 😂

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 20. I have personally had 9 dogs, 2 of which are still living. They are a German Shepherd and a mixed hound. I also foster dogs from time to time. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, with dogs that need any special medication, as one of my dogs was a diabetic and blind. Also, I am comfortable with dogs that have aggression issues, as long as we work out how to address them before your dog stays with me, and no one gets hurt. Two of my German Shepherds have aggression issues that I had to work through. A little about me: I am going back to get my master's and teach. Currently, I am substitute teaching, and we undergo a very thorough background check, including fingerprints and a check with the FBI. I am willing to provide long-term boarding for deployments or similar situations. That is the case; we can discuss the details and the long-term care rate. I have a very large fenced yard that gives the dogs plenty of room to run and play. It is 1/3 of an acre. I have radiant heat in the floors of my house, and most of the time, the dogs lie on the nice, warm floor. I do have a camera in the backyard. I can give you access while your dog is staying here with me. :) I’m sorry, I cannot take any more neutered dogs. The few I have had have been working all over my house, and it doesn’t matter how much cleaning you do, or how special the treatments are, they don't work. It’s a big problem with unneutered dogs. I do hope you consider neutering your dog. I am currently working to go back and get my masters and education to be a teacher. I am available all days right now and flexible on times. I have a large yard that is fully fenced with a 6 foot fence. I treat pets as part of my family but keep them well behaved and mannered. I have fostered dogs before too, and I always try to meet the dog where they are at whether they are stressed, fearful, or have a lot of. For example, if they need a lot of exercise we go on walks and play several times a day. I find a happy dog is a happy life.

About: Hello! My name is Kenzie and I am excited to be your pets friend!! I have experience with many different types of animals, as I’ve worked with neighbor and friends animals as well as at a petting zoo that over the last 14 years. Within that experience I have handled reptiles, rodents, small pigs, dogs and cats! There are obviously many animals I have yet to have a lot of experience with, but I am amazing at following well detailed instructions. I am happy and excited to get as many photos or check ins as makes each individual pet parent happy and comfortable. As an added bonus, my eldest cat has been on insulin shots twice a day for four years now. So I am familiar with handling animal’s for shots, and I’ve also had to administer pills as well. Thank you for your time and consideration! I have a fairly flexible schedule and am more than willing to work with pet parents on days and times that work for them. My availability on the weekend may vary, but I am usually pretty open during the week. I do not plan to bring peoples animals into my home for the time being as I have special need animals of my own that would not fair well with it

Mitchell was amazing! Very communicative and did everything we requested of him. Booked drop ins for two nights and two mornings. Our cat Miko loved the attention and received lovings when he allowed lol. Our two other cats were a lot more shy. Treven and I are very appreciative of Mitchell (and the kiddos 😉)!
