About: Not only have I worked in the industry for many years I have been trusted to take care of pets that have very specific needs. This ranges from administration of medications, assisting pets who are blind/deaf and assisting animals with megaeaopagus. I love animals and have worked previously in a wildlife center. I work a regular 9–5 schedule, but I do have some flexibility during the day. If you're located near the University of Washington, I’d be happy to stop by for midday walks or check-ins during my lunch break. Evenings and weekends are typically wide open, and I’m always happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need! I always love taking the dogs on walks and ensuring to enrich them daily. With my own family dog I love hiking and taking them swimming.

“Caleb was personable, responsible and totally amenable to the specific schedule we needed for our pup and senior kitty. Definitely appreciated the time he took with both animals and they seemed to do great in his care. Thanks Caleb! We plan to rebook for a few long weekends this summer. :)”

About: I was practically raised by dogs as a child. I spent a lot of time with various dogs such as Irish Setters, Labs, Poodles, and Hounds; bringing them to parks and beaches to walk and play. I can throw a ball pretty far, and a Frisbee even further. I can help reinforce verbal commands and administer oral medication. I am currently self employed, so I am able to set my own schedule. I can accommodate your pet's routine while you are away, helping both of you stay as low stress as possible. Your pet gets to stay comfortable in a familiar space. I am typically a calm and quiet person who can assert themselves as necessary, keeping your pets calm, safe and reassured.

“Paige was amazing. She came over to spend a few hours with my 10 week old pup to give this puppy mama a much needed break. She showed up on time/early, was easy to communicate with and super friendly, and my girl had a great time. We can’t wait to see her again soon!”


About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life and have experience taking care of pets of all ages. Animals bring me so much happiness. Since I cannot have a pet of my own while in college, I will give all my love and attention to your pets to provide excellent care. As a college student on summer break, I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets. Im available all weekdays and most weekends, I can stop by whatever time is best for your furry friend! I will be unable to house your dog overnight in my home, but I am more than willing to stay extended periods with your pets if needed.

About: I have taken care of my relatives, friends, and neighbors pets since I was 12. Typically, I have taken care of dogs, but I do have 3 cats of my own. The most dogs I have taken care of at once is six large dogs who all had different diets and meds. What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and needs. I’ve cared for multiple dogs at once, each with their own medication and dietary routines—so I’m confident managing schedules, special instructions, and a house full of wagging tails. I’ve house sat for several days at a time and know how to keep a home running smoothly and securely. I also grew up with cats and understand their need for both independence and affection. Beyond the usual pets, I have experience with livestock, especially goats and llamas/alpacas, which has made me calm, observant, and quick on my feet. Whether it’s furry, woolly, or somewhere in between, your animals are in caring, capable hands. As a college student with a lifelong love for animals, I bring both responsibility and heart to every pet-sitting job. I treat your pets like family because to me, they are. I make sure doors and gates are secure, follow feeding and medication routines carefully, and provide calm, attentive care when your pets need comfort. While you're away, your furry companions will feel safe, loved, and right at home.

“Scott was great! I’d highly recommended him to care for your dog. We have three pups which can be a lot for one to handle which Scott did with ease. He was dependable and prompt and is a great communicator. Daily updates and pictures were especially appreciated and provided regular assurance. Thanks Scott - will definitely use again in the future!”


“Anna met up in advance to meet the animals, and took great care of our cat and rabbit, coming twice a day for four days. She sent photos and was very reliable, taking the time to seek out both animals from their various “spots”. The house and animals were in excellent shape when we returned. Would hire again.”


About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the way I connect with each animal as if they were my own. I understand that every pet has their own personality, quirks, and needs, so I adapt my care to match - whether that’s guiding an eager puppy through new training, keeping a playful cat engaged, or offering gentle, reassuring care to a senior companion. As a cat-mom of two, I combine patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection to create a safe, happy environment where pets feel comfortable, loved, and understood while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I make time for it every day. I’m flexible with scheduling and can adjust to morning, afternoon, or evening visits to match each pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddle breaks, I enjoy building pet care into my regular rhythm so every animal gets consistent, reliable attention. When caring for fur babies, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I stick to their familiar routines, from mealtimes to play sessions, and make sure their space is secure and hazard-free. I take time to build trust through gentle care and attention, so they feel comfortable and happy. In a client’s home, I treat both their pets and their space with the utmost respect. My goal is for every fur baby to feel loved, safe, and right at home, no matter where they are.

“Elli is such a nice, calm and wonderful human! Our pups had a great time with her. I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone that they can trust with their furry family members!”


About: My entire life has been spent in the presence of all kinds of different animals! I have a very open schedule and would love to take care of any pet responsibilities. I have a very good relationship with every animal I come across. I like to be very active and loving with my animals, I encourage walking, hiking or a simple trip to the park with your loved one! I am a grad student studying my master’s in Seattle and would love the opportunity to help out with your pet! I never feel a dull moment when I am around animals and would love the opportunity to share an exciting moment with yours. Whether you need a walker, sitter or check-ins I can be very flexible to your needs! Thank you very much and I hope you can consider me. I am working towards my masters ant the moment and working part-time as a behavior therapist. I have a good amount of free time during the day and can be flexible! I always keep the dogs I watch close by and leashed to ensure their safety while going on walks. I will be trustworthy in keeping homes safe as well as tidy since I’m a bit of a neat freak!

Laurelhurst pet parents share their Rover experiences
She is extremely attentive to my cats and quite responsive in texts. She's very friendly overall. She gave me very detailed information about my cats' behavior on a daily basis, and my cats seem to like her a lot. I felt very safe leaving my cats in her care.

Elaine was wonderful! At our meet and greet, she really listened and seemed to care about all the information shared. I could tell she is a true animal lover. She provided detailed updates and took awesome photos for the drop-ins. I feel very comfortable leaving my boys in her care and will be using her services again!
