“Kali always does an awesome job when she does drop-in visits for our cat! She takes great pictures of our pet to let us know he is safe and doing well while we’re on vacation. She follows directions exactly and is a great pet-sitter!”

“Miranda is thoughtful, thorough, and so compassionate. She took excellent care of our four cats, one of whom is elderly and ill and on his final chapter. We felt so relieved knowing that he was in good hands while we were away.”



“Jenifer was very thorough and thoughtful during our meet and greet, making sure all details were clear and concise. I would certainly book with her again in the future!”


About: I have had pets my entire life. At this time, I am petless, so I would love to love on your pets. Family and friends have relied on me to watch, walk, and play with their furry friends. I have several references I work full time, but I have a very flexible schedule that sometimes allows me to work from home. Your dog, however, will never be alone because my husband is home during the day. I take your dog for a morning and night walk and on weekends three short walks. I also play with them. They can sleep on the bed and furniture

“Olivia went above and beyond. Excellent communication and we felt very comfortable knowing our pup was getting great care while we were away. Definitely recommend her and will be reaching out to her again!”


About: I am currently a vet assistant at a veterinary hospital. I’ve worked there for 3 years. I am currently working on my bachelors degree in animal and veterinary bioscience. I have been around animals my whole life and love to pet sit. I am currently a full time student at UW. I would love to come see your animals between and after class!! I’ll also send lot of pictures of your furry friends!! I had a private pet sitting business in clients homes for 2 years. No request is too big for me! I am able to deal with difficult animals.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve cared for cats since childhood, regularly looked after a spirited but lovable German Shepherd, and spent time around various animals including livestock. Currently, I work at a premium dog kennel and daycare, where I’ve gained valuable experience managing dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. What truly sets me apart is my deep rooted love and comfort around animals. I connect with them easily and genuinely enjoy their company more than anything else. Their well-being is always my first priority. My work schedule can vary between 6 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., but pet care still fits naturally into my routine. I work at a dog kennel/daycare, which gives me the unique ability to bring dogs with me if I have a long shift or if they need all-day supervision. Dogs are evaluated for daycare, and if they’re not comfortable around others, they’ll go into private play—where they get one-on-one outdoor time every few hours. The accommodations include beds, water bowls, and even free dog food if needed. I cover the cost myself, so your pet’s comfort and care are always a priority. We also offer baths at my work, which could come in handy for some dog owners. Since I’m unable to bring pets into my home, I offer in-home sitting and care. I believe the best care comes from following the pet owner’s instructions closely—no one knows their pet better than they do. I’m here to provide exactly what they feel is best for their pet’s comfort and routine. Through my work at a professional dog kennel, I’ve gained valuable experience recognizing signs of stress or discomfort in animals. If a pet seems uneasy with me or their environment, I adjust immediately to ensure they feel safe and secure. Additionally, if you're a beginner pet parent with any questions or concerns about caring for your pet, I’m happy to offer guidance and advice to help you feel confident in your role as a pet owner.

“This is our second time having Joey pet sit though this time it was drop in visits for our cats. She is an amazing sitter and I love the photos!! She is great to work with and we will continue to reach out! Our cat that likes to hide comes out for Joey!”


About: I've worked at a vet clinic for over two years, dealing with all different types of dogs and their needs. I've also had dogs my whole life. I’m a college student so I am not in the area during the school year. But for the rest of this summer, I am fully available! I am pre vet and I work at a vet clinic so animals are basically my entire life! I would not be able to care for pets in my home since I have two other dogs. However, I am happy to take care of the pets in your home.

About: I’ve been a proud rescue dog mom for 6 years and understand how much our pets mean to us. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you're away, I’ll treat them like family. I have experience caring for both dogs and comfortable with pets of all temperaments. I am especially sensitive with dog with separation anxiety as my own dog suffers from that as well. I'm reliable, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I bring a strong background in responsibility and trustworthiness from my job as an Asset Protection Manager. My job requires attention to detail, discretion, and a high level of reliability-all qualities I bring to every job. I’m here to be a responsible and reliable pet care giver while giving your pet the love and attention they deserve—so you can have peace of mind while you're away! I have a very open and flexible schedule—perfect for giving pets the time and attention they deserve! I'm able to adjust my routine to meet each pet's needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions you provide. I pay close attention to each pet’s comfort level and personality, whether that means giving them space to settle in or showering them with affection. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and aim to keep things tidy and calm. In my home, pets have a cozy, safe environment with plenty of love, supervision, and room to relax. Communication is key, so I always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.

“Elizabeth did an amazing job looking after Charlie while I was gone on business. She sent many photos and videos that made me feel assured that our pup was being loved on to the fullest extent. Would definitely recommend Elizabeth to any dog parents!”


About: We lost our sweet Blue (11 year old labradoodle) 3 years ago of bone cancer, and have recently become empty nesters. We LOVE dogs, and our cat has missed his canine companion. Our yard is over an acre, and includes a wooded area. We are also located near beautiful trails that we can walk to. Both of us work from home the majority of the time, and we will only open our home up to furry house guests if we are sure that at least one of us is available to be home the majority of the day. Your dog will love the extra love and attention that they will receive, and we tend to be a bit lenient with letting dogs on furniture/beds. Most of our neighbors own dogs, and there are young children next door. That being said, a dog that is friendly with other dogs and not wary of children would LOVE a vacation with us. I am working part time, and my husband works at least 1/2 of the time from home. We are flexible with dog schedules, and have experience with "elderly" dogs with special needs. We have a large yard (over an acre), which is not fenced in. Our neighborhood connects to walking trails and parks, so your dog will have ample exercise opportunities. We are extremely flexible with our schedules, and can adapt to meet your dog's current routines.

“Adam was a great communicator while we set up a meet and greet with our dogs beforehand and then right before we left for our trip. He sent pictures of updates each day and spent plenty of time getting the dogs outdoors to run around and also letting them have time to hang out with him at our house. We would definitely rebook again. We were very happy with how well taken care of Mac and Ruby were.”


“Sarah is very good with the dogs! She was great about helping me change the booking when I had it on the wrong day. She still came over and took care of them right away after my mistake.”

Wendy W.
“I would highly recommend Wendy as a dog sitter. She has been a good friend of mine for years and loves dogs and all animals very much. At one point, she took my dog into her home for a weekend. Another time, she stayed at my house for a week and took excellent care of both my dog, who is a rather rambunctious and high energy lab, and also my cat. She would play with the dog outside throwing balls and run him every day. My dog just loves her and his tail is wagging in all directions when he sees her coming to the door. She is excellent with all animals and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She is very trustworthy and I had no second thoughts about her staying in my home.”

“I can not think of anyone more qualified to care for your pet than Lisa Waltz. She is a lifetime animal lover and owner. No matter the breed or background she shows patience and kindness to all dogs. On vacations she seeks out local animal shelters to take a dog or two out for the day to share new experiences with them. If she could, she would adopt them all.”
