Dog Sitting Medina

About: I specialize in caring for small dogs under 15 lbs and truly understand their unique needs. I’m very patient, gentle, and attentive, especially with shy, anxious, or sensitive pups. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved—whether it’s sticking to their routine, giving them plenty of playtime, or just providing calm companionship. I pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, behavior changes, and overall well-being. I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks on both weekdays and weekends. Since I prioritize a calm and consistent routine, I’m able to spend quality time with your pup, including regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Small dogs especially benefit from close attention, and I make sure they never feel left alone or stressed. I live in a spacious and very clean downtown condo, which provides a calm and comfortable environment—especially ideal for small dogs under 15 lbs. Since I keep a tidy and well-organized home, I’m able to pay close attention to your pup and ensure they feel safe and relaxed at all times. There is a small park within my building/community, so I can take your dog out for fresh air and playtime in a safe and controlled setting. I also have a 6 lb small dog who is very well-trained, gentle, and friendly with other dogs. I always introduce dogs carefully and prioritize safety and comfort. If your dog prefers their own space, I can easily keep them separated as well.

“Mackenzie did a wonderful job taking care of Coco! She is a fantastic communicator and kept us updated with plenty of detailed notes and pictures while we were away. We came home to a very happy, sweet cat and a perfectly clean house. I highly recommend Mackenzie and would definitely trust her to watch Coco again!”

About: I grew up with multiple dogs and have always loved being around animals. I’ve had my own chocolate lab since I was 16. He’s now 12 so I have years of experience caring for dogs through every life stage. I’ve also helped take care of dogs for friends and family. In addition, I’ve looked after cats by visiting their homes, feeding them, and cleaning litter boxes. I treat every pet like my own, with patience, attention, and lots of love. I’m a restaurant owner with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive and reliable care for your pets. I have plenty of time to focus on their needs and ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their usual routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide fresh food and water, walks (for dogs), playtime, and lots of attention. I also keep the home clean by tidying up after pets and maintaining litter boxes for cats. I always respect the client’s home and instructions, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

“Vicky is very responsible and caring, she took care of my cat while I was away. Really recommend her and will definitely rebook. Thank you so much for everything you have helped!!”

“Alison is awesome! She dropped in on my cat every day while I was out of town. I’m usually anxious about leaving my kitty, but I felt confident that he was in good hands with Alison. She sent plenty of pictures and my cat always looked perfectly happy and comfortable. It’s clear she knows what she’s doing and really cares about animals. She even went above and beyond by bringing him treats and offering to extend her visits when my travel plans changed unexpectedly. I would absolutely recommend Alison to care for your pet. I have already booked her for my next trip.”

“Allie was an awesome cat sitter for the weekend i was away. My younger cat, Mylo, even made friends with her, which is amazing because he’s usually nervous with new people. I came home to happy cats and a tidy home, and I’d gladly book her again.”

“Adrian saved the day for us! We needed someone to take care of Bruce last-minute, and we were so glad that we could get someone that Bruce already knows and loves and is so professional. Thanks Adrian! I am a Rover employee.”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve been the reliable friend people turn to when they’re away. Some of the routines look like: stopping in to feed pets, provide fresh water, clean up, and offer enrichment and play, and companionship so they feel comfortable and not alone. I also have experience house sitting and staying overnight for up to four nights, making sure pets feel safe, settled, and cared for in their own environment. I’ve been around animals since I was about 10 years old, including golden retrievers, labs, and cats, and I often ask to say hello when I see a furry friend out and about. I welcome different temperaments and adjust myself to meet them where they’re comfortable. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and aim to provide calm, attentive, and loving care so fur babies feel secure, seen, and cared for while their best friend is away. I am available all days of the week, between 9:00 am-6:00 pm, can provide overnight care, please send me a message. (Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat) The goal is calm, consistency, and reading pet cues. 1. Follow their routine exactly Pets feel safest with predictability. Feed at the same times Use the same food amounts and bowls Keep walks/playtime similar to what they’re used to Even small changes can make sensitive pets anxious. 2. Do a careful first check-in When I arrive: I look for water level, food, accidents, or damage I observe their behavior (hiding, excited, nervous, clingy) I let them come to me rather than forcing interaction. 3. I arrive with a calm presence Many pets don’t need constant stimulation, they need steady companionship. I prefer to sit quietly near them, talk softly and let shy pets approach me on their terms 4. Exercise + enrichment (tailored to each pet) Dogs: walks, sniff time, fetch (if they enjoy it) Cats: wand toys, gentle play, window time I may suggest to keep sessions short if they get overstimulated 5. I like to help keep the home clean and safe by scooping litter boxes daily (sometimes twice per day), pick up wrappers or food items immediately, wipe paws if needed after walks, and keep doors locked and secure at all times 6. Respect their boundaries This is a big one for trust: I try not to force picking up or petting and watch for signs like tail flicking, hiding, freezing, or overstimulation. I let them decompress alone if needed. 7. I love the saying, “Leave things better than you found them” My fur friends owners say they appreciate: Clean bowls and litter areas, a tidy feeding/walking area, and the notes about how they did during the visit 8. I communicate clearly Send updates like: “Fed, walked, and doing well,” Photos (if allowed) and any changes in behavior or appetite

About: I’ve had dogs for almost my entire life. I raised my Maltese from puppyhood, and she sadly passed away two years ago at the age of 14. Currently, I have a sweet toy poodle named Meimei. She’s extremely friendly, and I’d love for her to make more furry friends. I work from home full-time and will continue doing so through the end of this year. My job is very dog-friendly—before COVID, I often brought my dog to the office to spend time with coworkers’ dogs. I only keep my calendar open on days when I am fully committed to being home, so I can ensure dogs are never left alone and won’t experience separation anxiety. I live in a house with a decently sized backyard in a quiet, lovely neighborhood. Dogs go on walks every day, and my home is conveniently located about a 10-minute walk from a major park near Clyde Hill and Bellevue. Dogs are welcome wherever they feel most comfortable—dog beds, the sofa, or even my bed. As long as they are potty-trained, they are allowed on furniture. At this time, I am only accepting small, well-behaved dogs. All dogs must be up to date on rabies vaccinations and flea prevention. I limit care to no more than two dogs at a time (except for dogs from the same household) to ensure each dog receives the attention and care they deserve. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting your pups! 😊 I take the dogs out at least four times a day. Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Before bed. Since I live in an apartment, I do take the dogs out rigorously on walks to make sure they are exercised and happy. I stay home most of the time and I make sure your dog will be on leash whenever we leave the house. My community is in a secluded area where there aren’t many cars. We don’t have neighboring properties that share our land hence we are a very safe community. Other than a few deer 🦌 visitors that hangs around our hilltop each day to graze on grass.

“Thanks Emilia! Rex is a happy boy!”

About: I am very passionate about animals and dogs have a special place in my heart. I joined 4-H club when I was 7 years old and have been caring for dogs, rabbits, and other animals ever since. I have learned so much about dogs and have a true connection to them. I am experienced caring for all ages of dogs including puppies and seniors. I understand the special attention dogs need in each stage of life. I find so much joy in helping and bonding with animals. My dog Kita Bear lived a beautiful long life of 17 years. She was the most energetic and loving Norwegian Elk Hound, and she truly had a personality of her own. I have also cared for friends, neighbors and family members pets. I see the beauty and sweetness in dogs eyes and they are truly precious. I would love to be able to care for your fur baby! I am available to care for pets during the week and weekends.

“Thank you! Wonderful job”

About: I just graduated from law school and am looking to make some additional money while studying for the bar. As such, I have an incredibly flexible schedule and am at home a significant portion of the day. I have 20+ years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments as well as other pets. I’m comfortable with puppies and young pets — helping them build confidence, reinforce basic commands, and establish healthy routines. I’m equally attentive to senior dogs, understanding their need for gentler exercise, medication schedules, and extra comfort. What sets me apart is my calm, patient energy and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like my own — with consistent boundaries, plenty of affection, and close attention to their individual personality and needs. I’m also a reliable communicator, sending regular photo updates so owners always feel at ease. Special skills include: • Puppy socialization and basic obedience reinforcement (I have helped raise 3 puppies) • Senior pet care (mobility support, medications, low-impact activity). My families fifteen year old golden retriever prepared me well 😀. • Administering oral medications • Experience with high-energy breeds and dogs with anxiety • I workout regularly and can easily lift any dog if needed. recently graduated law school and am currently studying for the bar exam, which means I’m working from home with a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time throughout the day to give pets the attention, walks, and companionship they need — no rushing off to an office or unpredictable hours. Having a pet around actually makes for great study company! Whether I’m welcoming pets into my home or caring for them in their own space, my approach is the same — attentive, calm, and consistent with their normal routine. In my home: I provide a comfortable, pet-friendly environment where animals are never left alone for long periods. Pets have space to relax, play, and get plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. In your home: I follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible — same feeding times, same walking schedule, same rules. I want them to feel like nothing has changed, just with a friendly new face. For drop-in visits: I make the most of every visit — feeding, fresh water, playtime, a walk if needed, and of course some quality cuddle time. I always send a update so you know how things went. For dog walking: Walks are tailored to your dog’s pace and energy level. I keep them safe, engaged, and well-exercised — and always clean up after them.

“We have used Michelle multiple times to check in on our cat when we've been out of town. She does a great job and our cat looks forward to seeing her!”

About: I am loving and someone you can trust. I do my best to understand them and meet their needs. I love them all as if they were my own babies. I help them take them out and about and meet their needs. If they are happy with me, I will be happy too. Rest assured. My priority is their safety and happiness. I take care of everything about them myself. I don't let them walk in places I don't find safe. I take them home safely and hand them over to their family.
