WFH, Loving & Affordable Pet Sitter
I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone brand new, but rest assured that I’ll keep you updated every step of the way. * I'll send plenty of photos * communicate with you throughout their stay * and make sure they receive lots of pets, cuddles, playtime, and attention. I even talk to them throughout the day because I believe they deserve plenty of interaction and stimulation too! I’ve loved animals since I was a kid. My very first cat was named Sparkle, after the cat from Barbie and the Diamond Castle, and she started my lifelong love for cats. As long as we communicate about your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs, I’ll do my best to cater to them and make them feel comfortable and at home. I was a classroom teacher, so caring for others comes naturally to me. I’m patient, attentive, nurturing, and responsible, and I’ll care for your pets with the same love and kindness I give to my students. I’ll treat them as if they were my own 🧡

Ratings and reviews
Our little Flora was being fussy right before our trip so I was worried about handing her over to someone else but Xutchille was gracious enough to care for our little princess! She sent us updates on Flora and what Flora was up to. I could tell how much care was put into taking care of Flora and I would book her again!
Xutchille was great with my pug, Toph. Toph can be a little stubborn and particular sometimes, but Xutchille was really patient with her and made sure she was comfortable. I appreciated getting updates and photos while I was away. Toph came back happy and well taken care of. I would definitely book with Xutchille again.
Xutchille looked after my two cats Kuma & Bazooka like they were her own cats! Our cats are on a strict diet and we brush our cats every two days to prevent mattes from forming. With how high maintenance our cats' routine is, I'm always worried the sitter will skip a step. Xutchille sent us pictures regularly and updated us throughout the day while we were traveling. Highly recommend to other pet parents who are looking for a reliable and diligent sitter :)
I’m so grateful I found Shelly to watch my cats. She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring, sending regular updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She took the time to understand each cat’s personality and needs, and it was clear they felt comfortable, happy, and loved in her care. I came home to relaxed, well-cared-for cats and would absolutely have Shelly sit for them again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter.
Shelly has been absolutely wonderful with my cat! I’ve had her take care of my cat multiple times, and every experience has been great. She’s reliable, caring, and always makes sure my cat is comfortable and well taken care of. I really appreciate the updates and peace of mind she provides while I’m away. I highly recommend Shelly to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dependable to care for their pets!

Schedule
I'm WFH so I’m available and flexible throughout the day to give your cats' meal, treats, water, playtime, even light tidying with their litterbox and lots of pets and attention. If you’re out of town, I’m happy to make time for regular visits and make sure your kitties are well cared for while you’re away!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
At home, I have a 1 year old Siberian cat who is super playful but also knows her boundaries. I live in a high rise apartment in the heart of Seattle with AC, so your kitty will stay cool and comfortable. I also have a Whisker Litter Robot, water fountain, automatic feeder, and cat friendly ceramic dishes. Plus, I have plenty of toys, including wands and interactive robot toys, for lots of fun and playtime!
Pets
A typical day
⛅️🌙 AM/ PM Routine 1. I'll greet them by name 2. check their food and water 3. scoop their litter 4. give them treats 5. and spend plenty of time talking to them 6. petting them, and brushing them if they enjoy it. 🧶🐈 Playtime I also make sure they get playtime! My vet recommends two 15-minute play sessions a day for indoor cats to keep them stimulated, so I’ll use their favorite toys and let them get some energy out. Of course, I always respect their boundaries if they’re not feeling playful or cuddly. 🎶 'Lil sound stimulation I like to leave some soft music playing while I hang out with them, too. Since they’re used to having their humans around, I want the house to still feel warm and lived-in rather than completely quiet while they’re alone. A little training, too! And if your cat is food-motivated, I might even teach them a little paw or high-five trick! I love getting to know each cat’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their humans are away.
- CatsTakes only 1 client at a timeXutchille Marie can host up to 1 pet per night
- Please let me know anything important about your pet before I care for them, including their hiding spots, medications, allergies, dietary restrictions, special routines, or any special needs they may have. I’d also love for you to walk me through their food and water stations, favorite toys, and anything else they enjoy. Let me know if their nails are clipped, whether they’re shy or social, if they like to be carried, and anything that helps me understand their personality and comfort level. The more I know, the better I can understand their needs and provide the best care possible while you’re away :)
