“I have booked Courtney multiple times now to take care of my cats and she doesn't a wonderful job! She always sends multiple pictures and keeps me up to date with what is going on. I will continue to book with her as long as I can!”

About: I am a lifelong dog lover. Grew up with dogs, helped raise and train our family puppy, attended training classes, and provide loving, patient, reliable care. As a part-time nanny and online college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, dependable pet care. I work as a nanny on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays until 5:00 p.m. in Woodinville, making me available for afternoon and evening walks on those days. On Tuesdays, Fridays, and weekends, I study from home, so I'm available throughout the day for boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, walks, and plenty of companionship. Because I complete my coursework from home, I can spend lots of quality time with the pets in my care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. Dogs have always been part of my life, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. I grew up with dogs, helped raise and train our family puppy, and attended training classes, so I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. As an online college student, I spend much of my time studying from home, which allows me to provide plenty of companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day. I live on a peaceful six-acre property with lots of room to explore. While the yard isn't fenced, safety is always my top priority, and I use long training leads and close supervision during outdoor time. I'm an active person who loves long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and, of course, lots of cuddles. I also have two friendly cats who grew up with dogs and are comfortable around respectful canine companions. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their routine, respect their individual needs, and treat them like a member of my own family. I'll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away.

About: Experience: I've got over 1000 hours of hands on dog training and handling experience, and I absolutely love anything with four legs (even the hairless ones)! I've been a dog trainer for around 5 years, plus have around 100 hours of additional education. I am very well practiced in positive reinforcement training (meaning I never use punishment) and rewarding good behavior. As well as a dog trainer, I've also spent time as a dog bather. One of my favorite parts about training is earning the trust of the animal and seeing them become more comfortable around me and just existing in the world. Pets mental and physical health: I loooove being able to provide enrichment for pets! Enrichment is basically letting your pet interact with the world around them by encouraging them to use their senses, and practice behavior that is innate to them (think running, sniffing, chasing, etc). This not only helps get out their energy, but helps mentally tire them out. Over all it creates a more satisfied pet! This is one of my favorite parts about pet care because it allows you to really get to know the animal and understand them on a deeper level. I've owned 4 guinea pigs over the years, and am very familiar with their illnesses, health issues, and care. I am comfortable providing some medical care for them, like syringe feedings/medications. If your piggy needs different kinds of medical attention, please let me know when we initially talk. I am more than happy to learn about caring for other exotics (seriously, I learn about animal husbandry for fun). A note: while I am not super familiar with reptiles, I am more than happy to learn to about their care. Daycare and Boarding: Because I practice responsible pet care, I limit my boarding and daycare to one pet family (example: if you have two dogs, I'm only watching those two dogs, and other no dogs from outside your household). This allows me not only the ability to prevent things like potential fights between dogs who don't know each other, but also allows me the ability to give your pups more care and attention. This also explains why my prices may be a bit higher than other sitters. I'm so happy to get to meet you and your pet! I'm currently pet free (my last two pets passed away recently), so my entire day will center around your pets. I love walking dogs and caring for animals! I love spending time with animals. One of my favorite parts of training is working with the animal to get to know them and their needs, and fulfilling them with management and enrichment. I love helping animals exercise those brain muscles that they may not otherwise be able to!

“Makenzie is an absolute delight! She is the best pet sitter we’ve had! She communicates well, and even calls right away in the event of an emergency. She is so sweet with our kitties and sends lovely pics and updates. Highly highly recommend her! Would definitely book her again. 😊”

About: I have a cat and a dog and they are my life! I love all animals. They make me happy and less dippressed. I love love to be around all animals. I have worked with animals now for 7 years and my frirends and family would give good reconmandations for being a pet sitter. Pet care fits into my daily routine because every day I get up and feed my own dog and cat. Along with that I take my dog out every day for a walk. How I take care of my own pets in my home is by feeding them, and playing with them, and walking them, And making making sure they are well careed for and loved. I would treat your pets the same as I treat mine.

About: I’ve taken care of others pets in my own home since I was 10 or so. I’ve watched hundreds of dogs with a few cats scattered in here and there. I now rent and can’t take dogs into my own home, but would still love to watch people’s pets. I can come to your pet throughout the week for care as needed for all animals and breeds.😊 I am a stay at home mom Monday through Friday, and a stylist on weekends, so weekday sitting is usually ideal. The goal is always to make your pet as comfortable as they can be while you’re away, and the best way to do so is in their own home. Meeting animals like dogs before a sit is always a good idea so the dog doesn’t think their sitter is an intruder, so we will always do our best to meet before the time of sitting. Not only is it important to me that your dog is comfortable, but I also want to make sure you are comfortable as well. To help give you some peace of mind while you’re gone, you will receive daily pictures and videos of your pet, along with an update of how they are behaving and feeling. If part of your dogs routines going to the park or going on a walk I can do that as well, and am fully prepared for transportation if need be. I’m really looking forward to taking care of your pet and can’t wait to be in touch. I’m currently a part time stylist and full time mom. Monday through Friday I can come to take care of your animals and give them the love and attention they need. If possible we will always meet beforehand to ensure your pet knows me to make sure they feel safe with me entering their home. We will play and carry out their daily routine as well as we possibly can together. I plan to make sure your pets are comfortable and cared for while you’re gone, while maintaining the cleanliness in your home. Expect to come home to your house the same way you left it. I will send daily updates with photos to provide you with some peace of mind while you’re gone.

“We haven't used Rover before and were a bit skeptical until we met Miranda! She took such good care of our cat and made us feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”

Sarah H.

“Sarah is fantastic! My cat has special needs (although you’d never know) so I’m super particular about who watches my boy. That said, I would request her to watch my kitty again, hands down! She followed directions, was super communicative, and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation without worrying about our cat the whole time. We got back and Leo was screaming his head off because he missed us, but we know Sarah spent the time to sit with him and give him love and we all couldn’t appreciate that more. (Thank you, Sarah!)”

Emily S.

“Elise is absolutely amazing with my pups and 100% reliable. Belle and Brody look forward to her drop-ins!”

About: I grew up with animals - like quite a few! I've had cats since I was born, dogs since I was 8, a horse, a ferret, a bird, some fish...I've just always loved them! I would always take care of the neighbors' animals when they went out of town growing up, and have pet sat for many family members and friends. I even have some experience with goats and chickens :) I currently have a pug named Ricki, but live on a family compound with a great Swiss mountain dog, a pomeranian, and my mom's two frenchies visit often. I have a fairly flexible schedule throughout the week and would love to fill my days taking care of your fur babies I am currently without a pet for the first time in my life! Both of my senior pups passed during Covid after living long, healthy lives and while I'm not ready for another pet quite yet - I am really missing having an animal friend. I tend to have 3-4 day weekends and can be available during weeknights depending on time and location. I believe we are so lucky to have animals in our lives and want to do everything to keep them happy and healthy! I am available to pop in for a snuggle/play/walk session for your dogs or cats and am available for extended care in the right circumstances (house sitting or dog boarding). I do have a few dogs on the property (an 8 year old pug and a one year old great swiss mountain dog) so we would need to make sure everyone gets a long first. For dog walks, I would plan walk just your pooch to ensure they get the proper attention they deserve.

About: Honestly, I'm just a huge animal lover. I've got a goofy Lab-Pittie mix who's my best buddy, and I still miss my two sweet Norwegian Lundehunds like crazy. I'd absolutely love to spend time with your dog, whether it's a long hike, a park visit, or just some good cuddle time. Since I'm home all the time, I'm super flexible. I'm also happy to handle any special needs or meds – they'll be treated like part of the family, I promise! Can't wait to meet your furry friend! I'm semi-retired so my time is flexible. I can be there for your fur baby early in the morning or later into the evening. Weekends are no problem and I'm even available on holidays! I get it – your pet is special, and their care should be too. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I take the time to really listen to you and observe your pet, so I can provide exactly what they need, whether it's a good walk, a timely meal, or just some quiet comfort. I'm here to be a reliable and loving presence for your pet in your own home

About: I bring a lifetime of experience in caring for animals and live on 10 acres of wooded pastures with 3 horses, dogs, cats, and a house rabbit. My personal pack of four rescue dogs get along well with any new dog I introduce to the family. I have been fostering dogs for a local rescue organization for several years, gaining hands-on experience with many breeds and ages of dogs. I specialize in puppy care and training and have successfully provided basic training and care for numerous foster dogs. I have experience caring for elderly dogs and am skilled in giving medication and insulin. This is an all inclusive experience for dogs! Here your dog will enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor playtime in my private dog park which offers a peaceful setting away from any traffic noise. This is true farm privacy with a ten acre buffer and plenty of natural enrichment including a natural creek, pond, and wooded pastures. Dogs will have opportunities to participate in activities like sniff walks, barn exploring, and pack walks. For puppies I keep them on a schedule for potty training, socializing, and naps. Additionally, I have a dedicated small dog area and small dogs get to enjoy couch time in the evenings! All activities are included for the boarding price. If you desire an exit bath before your dog goes home please let me know. 🐾 I enjoy working on agility training with one of my dogs who is very athletic and to expand my training knowledge, I continue to work with local dog trainers. Beyond my work with animals, I raised two children and dedicated 18 years to volunteering in our local school district, where I passed multiple background checks and supported various programs and events in schools and classrooms. My property is quiet and away from any traffic yet located just a mile from a major highway making it easy to get to for drop off and pick up! I am home everyday and spend most of my time with the animals in my care. I am happy to be flexible on timing for drop off or pick up windows and can pop in for drop in visits to give you a helping hand. In my home pets will be fed twice a day and have off leash time to relax or play with friends. If they are crate trained they will have their own crate to retreat to and dog beds to rest on. My dogs enjoy meeting new friends and provide a comforting pack to show new dogs the ropes. Outside, I always work on name recall with new dogs on leash and when they get to know me they will have supervised off leash time. Additionally, your dog may enjoy a walk to our horse barn and discover a world of sensory enrichment for their nose! In your home I can play with and feed your kitty or your pups and provide any care they need and can feed on the schedule that you request.

“Anna was such a fantastic cat sitter. I have a very nervous cat and was unsure it they could bond as it was a short few days. She used the cat glove and got his trust.. and was then able to not only feed him but give him his twice daily meds.👍 She was very patient getting him to trust her. I appreciated that her experience paid off as she was very calm when he threw up food. Anna was on top of all the instructions and sent photos. Every cat owner doesn’t want to worry about their cats while they are away. I did not worry. Will be using Anna again very soon.. was very happy with her service and care for my 3 kitties especially my anxious senior cat… she has a special love for these senior cats 🐈‍⬛ Anna was amazing!!! Definitely using her services again.👍”

About: My name is Shannon and I am 42 years old. Me and my husband currently have 4 crazy dogs who we take on adventures all the time. I have worked as a veterinary assistant for the past 11 years. I am working part time and I am hoping to fill some of my free time walking dogs. I am very experienced with handling dogs in all situations. I have done dog walking and pet sitting in the past. I am available most weekdays and some weekends. Currently working part time as a veterinary assistant. I would love to have regular walks scheduled but can be available for last minute needs. I will not be bringing dogs to my home or bringing my dogs around any other dogs as my dogs do not get along with other dogs. I have my own very reliable vehicle that I can use to transport pets if needed for different walking experiences.

About: Dog owner and lover providing attentive, reliable care! Whether your pup needs playtime, belly rubs, or a peaceful companion, I’ll make sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away. Drop-in visits or house sitting available I work remotely with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive care for your pet throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I can adjust to your pet’s routine to keep them happy and comfortable while you're away. As a dedicated dog owner, I understand the importance of keeping your pup safe and happy. Whether you need pet sitting at your home or check-in visits, I offer a caring, reliable service where your pet can feel comfortable and relaxed. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and you can trust that they will be well cared for in my hands.

About: I grew up showing and working with terriers in 4H. These days I work as a professional dog trainer, so reading canine body language comes naturally to me. Large breeds and working dogs are where I'm most at home. I share my life with a working line German Shepherd, so high energy and serious pulling power doesn't rattle me. I keep dogs on their normal feeding and walking routines, watch for the small signals that show how they're settling in, and give each one calm, attentive company. My focus stays on keeping your dog comfortable, appropriately stimulated, and genuinely cared for while you're away. I am insured, mentored, and committed to my mission of creating happy healthy canine companions. My schedule is flexible and build around the current dogs in my care, which is a big part of why I can give a visiting dog real attention. Dogs are already woven into my daily rhythm, so feeding, walks, play, and rest breaks are built into my day rather than squeezed around it. I plan my hours around each dog's routine and stay close by for most of the day, with regular potty breaks, appropriate mental and/or physical stimulation, and calm downtime in between. I understand that dogs need help to decompress when in new environments and situations. My first focus is to help them orient to me and if boarding, my home. This looks like social games, confidence building games and routine. I help all dogs know the expectations I have for them and set them up for success and a calm mind. If boarding with me the first step will be on leash while supervised or in a crate if not. This is until the dog and I have a relationship and I know them as far as safety around my resident dog and cat. If safe they are welcome to join in on pack play and house access. Otherwise they will remain safely separated from my resident animals. I live on about an acre in the Clearview woods. I have a 4ft fenced yard as well as additional accessible land to dogs that can earn that privilege. There are no neighboring animals for the dogs to see. I can safely separate client dogs from resident animals. I am well versed in dog body language, decompression, and safe play.

“Caroline took great care of our cats while we were on vacation. She was prompt, shared regular updates with photos, and our cats loved her. We’ll definitely book with her again next time and recommend her to anyone looking to care for their pets!”

About: I am a teacher looking to stay busy this summer. I have a dog and 2 cats. I grew up with pets my whole life. I plan on doing this over my summer break. I will have a lot of time to spend time with animals by giving them the exercise they need. I am happy to host at our place. We have a spacious place. I love to stay active and take them out often. I can also go stop by and make sure your animals are loved!
