Pet care experience

Full-time remote workers

We need more puppy love in our lives! Ryan (39) and Samantha (39) are both full-time working professionals and work mainly from home. We have two cats and both love all animals. Samantha has 15 plus years of experience working with animals (mainly dogs and cats but many other types of animals as well), through volunteering and Rover. Ryan has taken care of his own and others pets throughout his adult life. Since we both work from home most of the time, we have plenty of time and flexibility to offer walks, house sitting, and boarding in our own home. We are also available for repeat daycare customers and can watch your pup during the day in our house while you work. For sitting, walking, and drop ins, we can offer services within 5 miles from our location. We can both work with dogs and cats of all sizes and have experience with special needs animals. If your pup is being watched in our home, we ask that they be house trained, well-behaved, crate trained, and good with cats. We want to ensure the safety of all animals in our care.

This was our first time using a pet sitter and our cat was very happy that someone stopped by when we're gone. Samantha was reliable and provided photos per visit.

Thanks Samantha for taking care of Ryu in such a short notice and with the weird weather of Seattle

Had a flight cancelled and had to book an extra day for our two cats. Samantha helped no problem and even offered to buy more cat food if we needed. Have used her twice already and will again!

Safety, trust & environment

I always ensure the utmost safety and respect for your fur babies and homes and make sure I am following all instructions to an T! Safety is very important to me, especially when out on walks. I am always careful that walking equipment is securely properly and keep an eye on my surroundings.
