Pet care experience

Friendly neighborhood pet sitters!

Growing up, my family welcomed many rescued animals into our home, from a beagle mix and a golden retriever to a Jack Russell terrier, turtle, guinea pig, bunny, and even a horse. My love for animals inspired me to start pet sitting for friends and family in high school, giving me experience caring for a variety of pets, including pit bulls, greyhounds, golden retrievers, Australian shepherds, and cats.

Kaiti and Quixem house sat and watched my elderly dog who is now high needs in this phase of his life. I appreciate their patience and care they showed him during their stay!

Kaiti and Quixem took great care of our dog and our house. Our dog loves to be with people and it was comforting to know they would be around (working from home) most of the time. They sent updates and were communicative along the way. It was a positive experience all around.

Kaiti and Quixem are top notch! Gracie was happy and well taken care of during their stay. They went above and beyond to care for our garden while we were gone which was so important during the hot summer months. We know Gracie kept them busy playing fetch in the backyard and they accepted that challenge despite the hot summer weather. We would happily book them again in the future without hesitation. Thank you Kaiti and Quixem for everything!

Kaiti and Quixem watched our two dogs at our house for 6 days. They were easy to communicate with. They took excellent care of our dogs and the house. We would absolutely trust them with our pups again.

Katie and Quixem are fantastic pet sitters! We hired them to watch our dog and rabbit while we were on vacation. They were incredibly responsive while we were away. They kept us updated with regular messages and photos that reassured us that our pets were doing well. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their pets and home.

Kaiti is a freelance photographer who works from home, which allows her plenty of time to visit, walk, and shower your pets with love. Quixem, her partner, is a journalist for KING 5 by day and joins her for overnight pet sitting. While Quixem is allergic to cats, Kaiti can still check in on your feline friends and keep them entertained whenever needed.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home or my client's home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment to ensure pets feel secure and happy. I make sure to understand each pet’s unique needs and routines, from feeding schedules to favorite activities, so I can provide care tailored specifically to them. Building trust with pets and their owners is essential to me. I offer meet-and-greets before any new sitting arrangement to allow pets to get comfortable with me. For each stay, I send regular updates, photos, and notes on how your pet is doing, so you feel connected and reassured. My goal is to make you feel confident that your pet is in caring, capable hands.

A typical day

A typical day with your pet is filled with activities tailored to their needs, energy levels, and preferences. For dogs, I start the day with a refreshing walk or playtime in the yard, where they can stretch, sniff, and explore to start their morning right. We’ll enjoy several walks throughout the day, varying routes to keep things exciting, along with some interactive games like fetch, tug-of-war, or puzzle toys to keep their minds sharp. For cats, I make sure to engage them with interactive play sessions using their favorite toys, like feather wands or laser pointers, and give them plenty of cozy downtime if they prefer a quieter day. I also ensure they have space to watch the world from windows or nap in their favorite spots, keeping their routine familiar and comforting. In the evening, we wind down with some snuggles and calm time. For both dogs and cats, I’m attentive to cues and follow their lead to create a day that’s both fun and comfortable. My priority is to provide a safe, enjoyable experience that keeps your pet feeling happy and cared for until you return!
