Andrew & Jing have been incredibly communicative and thoughtful during the two times they’ve taken care of my cat. They send lots of great photos, comprehensive updates, follow all instructions closely and take time to play with her as well. It was a relief knowing she was in such good care!

Shawna took great care of our cat for an extended trip! She was communicative and super consistent. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her for future pet sitting.

About: I'm a reliable and attentive pet sitter with experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pets who are meeting a new sitter for the first time and owners who are entrusting their pets to someone new. While living in Seattle, I regularly watched pets for a variety of owners and developed a strong ability to help animals feel comfortable, safe, and settled in unfamiliar situations. I've also cared for friends' dogs with health concerns that required additional monitoring, frequent check-ins, or close attention to changes in behavior. I understand how important communication and reliability are when a pet has specific needs, and I make it a priority to keep owners informed and give them peace of mind while they're away. My approach is patient, calm, and pet-centered. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, and preferences so they can feel as comfortable as possible. Whether it's providing extra playtime, sticking to a consistent schedule, offering companionship, or simply being a reassuring presence, I strive to make every pet feel cared for and every owner feel confident that their pet is in good hands. I currently work a hybrid schedule and am generally able to predict my routine well in advance, which allows me to provide consistent and reliable pet care. When caring for pets, I make every effort to avoid scheduling in-office days so that I can easily provide a comforting presence and maintain their normal routine. Clear communication and planning help ensure that pets receive the care, supervision, and companionship they need while their owners are away. In my home, I will adjust the space to ensure the pet has ample space to relax and explore safely. I am extremely attentive with pets so will keep a close eye. If at a client’s home, I will defer to the client’s notes for routine and any notes to ensure a respectful experience.

Jen is an amazing sitter. She took fantastic care of my beloved Lumpy, a most special boy who can be a little stoic and shy. She’s thorough and super prompt with communication, which I appreciate so much as an anxious cat mom. Will definitely rebook! Thanks Jen!

About: Hi there! I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I had my own dog for 15 amazing years and she was truly my baby. I loved spoiling her and making sure she always felt safe and happy. That’s exactly the kind of care I bring to every pet I watch! I offer pet sitting and dog walking, including walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of cuddles (if they’re into that!). I’m happy to stick to your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. I work from home three days a week, which means I have plenty of time to give your pet attention throughout the day. No long stretches alone. I also don’t have any pets right now, so your furry friend will have a calm, cozy space all to themselves. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress free as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, clean environment where they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and affection. Since I don’t have other pets, they’ll have a quiet space all to themselves. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific needs, so your pet stays comfortable and secure. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication, and I’m always attentive to making sure your pet feels happy, relaxed, and well cared for.

About: Rover sitter, boarder, and dog walker in Midtown - available this weekend and every weekend and ready to love your fur babies like my own including early drop ins and more. I would love to meet your pup or kitty! What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and the genuine care I bring to every pet I look after. I offer consistent early-morning availability for dog walks during the week, which is perfect for pups who thrive on a structured routine or need to burn off energy before the day begins (think wee hours zoomies). I’ve been raising my own dog for over two years, giving me hands-on experience with daily care, different temperaments, and maintaining a healthy, happy routine. I’m comfortable with a range of needs: from energetic dogs who love active walks and playtime to those who prefer a calmer, more relaxed pace as I've taken care of pets for friends. I’m especially flexible on Fridays and heading into the weekends, making me a great option for boarding, daycare, or house sitting when you may need extra support. I also prioritize clear, consistent communication, with regular updates and photos so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved, just like they would be at home. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I have my own dog, so I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding, and quality time. I’m available for consistent early-morning walks during the week, and I have much more flexibility heading into the weekends for boarding, daycare, and house sitting. I enjoy staying active and spending time with dogs, so fitting in walks, playtime, and check-ins is something I genuinely look forward to. I make sure every pet gets the attention, structure, and care they’re used to. I care for every pet based on their individual routine and needs, whether they’re in my home or theirs. I stick closely to their usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime so they feel comfortable and at ease. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and keep everything clean and consistent while giving their pet plenty of attention and companionship. In my home, I provide a safe, calm environment with lots of supervision, play, and downtime depending on the dog’s energy level. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure pets feel secure, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how they’re doing. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific care requests, while also making sure they get plenty of companionship and care.

About: Ever since I was 7, I was raised with a cute Maltese, Miru. We were besties eating, playing, doing everything together until his last day. I learned how to bathe him and properly walk him to treat him better and it surely help me to grow my relationship with my Miniature Schunauzer, Ricky, who is currently in California with my parents due to my studies in Chicago. I am not only trying to have this as a part-time job but as way to meet dogs and spend some quality times (walks) with them as I am missing my dog, Ricky. I am currently working part-time, so I am mostly free to hang out with your baby. I am available in the morning or afternoon preferably when it is not too dark outside. I am only looking to walk your dogs. I will be either walking or running depending on the needs varying differ to dogs’ conditions. Let me know how they are doing so we can have fun without any concerns.

Loretto was wonderful with my dog, Mapache. He can be a bit of a troublemaker and doesn’t always warm up to new sitters, so I was pleasantly surprised by how calm and comfortable he was during Loretto’s visit. Loretto was patient, reliable, and clearly has a great way with dogs. I would happily book with him again!
