Lover of Animals

Pet care experience

I am a lifelong animal lover and pet owner. I have two fur babies of my own, a beautiful and playful Tabby/Siamese kitty named Roy (don't worry if your pup isn't kitty friendly! Roy doesn't currently live with me!), and an affable, mellow tripod mutt named Dash (if your dog prefers to be solo, FYI Dash only lives with me part-time!) I have professional experience with housesitting, pet boarding, dog training, and dog walking. I have cared for dogs and cats of all breeds and temperaments, and those with special needs and dietary regimens. My schedule is flexible and I have a lot of time throughout the day on weekdays and weekends to care for your animals. I live in the Eastlake neighborhood in the heart of Seattle and it's east for me to commute. I am happy to come to your home or host your pets at my place. I can't wait to get to know your fur babies!

We've used Kit as a sitter for our English Bulldog (Grace) multiple times and will surely book with her again. She does a great job of keeping Grace active and entertained by taking walks, playing in an off-leash park, and visiting local dog-friendly restaurants. It's easy to tell that she genuinely loves dogs, which give us peace of mind during our vacations. It also helps that Grace loves to play with Kit's dog (Fox) and we consistently get cute videos of their interactions.

Kit is a joy to work with, they've watched our two dogs many times over the last year. Kit is responsive, flexible, detail-oriented, super loving with the pups, sends lovely photos, extremely tidy and thoughtful while house-sitting. Lenny and Myrtle are always thrilled when Kit arrives! We are so grateful to work with Kit, really puts our minds at ease while traveling!

Kit has looked after my shepherd mix, Winnie, multiple times and each time Winnie is so excited to see them at drop off! It is obvious that Winnie is very comfortable and relaxed in their home, and I was sent photos (and sometimes videos) of how she doing. Kit is really great at communicating and is flexible with drop off and pick up times to accommodate my busy work schedule. Super trusting of Kit to take the best care of my girl every time. Highly recommend them!

Kit looked after our three-legged pup for a long weekend, and we could not have been more pleased with their level of care! We got daily updates and photos, and a lot of care was given to our dog's needs since his mobility is limited. 10/10 we plan to work with Kit again.

I have many years of experience being around animals so I'm versed in reading body language and responding to your pet's needs. I love to give and receive affection from animals, so your pet will receive plenty of love and attention!

Caring for animals is an important and enjoyable part of my day-to-day. My days typically begin and end with a peaceful waterfront walk along Lake Union, often accompanied by one or more furry friends! I work from home most days, so I'm always happy for a playtime break, cuddles, and some midday walks for fresh air. I live in close proximity to several dog parks if that is your pup's cup of tea!
