Ratings and reviews
Talia is great! She clearly cares for our sweet dog and shares daily updates about what he’s up to while we’re away.
Talia is so sweet and calm. Perfect sitter for our nervous little pup. She is great!
Talia was great! Our puppy had a fun day and came home happy and tired. Loved working with Talia. She communicated clearly and timely, has a great system and followed instructions for pickup/drop off, feeding, and in general. We’d love to work with her again!
Talia took great care of our dog while we were out of town. He had some additional medical needs due to an injury, and Talia handled it all with care and open communication. I felt anxious to leave him but I knew he was in good hands with Talia.
Talia was very communicative and took excellent care of my dogs. She has a great yard for the dogs to hang out in and sent pictures and updates during their stay.
Super helpful, proactive, and provides great care for my senior cat.

A typical day
I live in a studio with a private, fully-fenced yard. And work part time from home so I am home throughout the day with your pets. Dogs love the all-day yard access and cozy indoor nap areas. When I do not have daycare clients, I may schedule dog walks nearby. Available for pickups/dropoffs throughout Greater Seattle. I work with clients between North and South Seattle and the Eastside! For health and safety reasons, I do not host indoor meet n' greets or handoffs, but I am happy to host some front yard playtime.
