“Teddy let me know when he arrived, sent photos, and spent time playing with my dogs after their dinner. Dogs were happy and the house was perfect when I got home. Highly recommend!”


“Roman was fantastic with our pug Boyd while we needed a little extra help during the day to get him out and fed. It was very clear all of our instructions were followed, Boyd got lots of attention and love, and we didn't even have to think twice about whether he was situated at home! Thanks Roman!”


“Emma was amazing with my cat, Taco! She was incredibly communicative and even picked up an urgent package for me although she didn't have to! Definitely booking her again because I came home to a happy and healthy kitty!”


“Brent was great with our dog Jinx. He cane to meet her first and she liked him right away. He communicated well and arrived on time. And took some great photos! We will definitely use Brent as a dog walker again.”


“Chris took fabulous care of our three kitties while my partner and I were away for nearly 3 weeks. We requested the basics (food, water, litter, wellness check), but Chris went above and beyond in the attentiveness and time he spent with our little rascals. He gave excellent photos in each visit summary, and we could tell by his comments that he paid special attention to each of their personalities, quirks, and comfort levels. Highly recommend Chris for anyone needing reliable cat care!”

“Ashley was our dog walker for the summer and she was great! She was extremely punctual and incredibly reliable. I think she was only late once (just by a few minutes) and she let me know ahead of time. Very good communication. My dog is a reactive to other dogs on leash and she did a great job managing his reactivity and listening to his needs. She also took out our pit Lexi, who’s a big funny little crazy lug, and did a great job managing her energy. If I was staying in the Seattle area, I would def hire her services again!”



“Sebastian is a fantastic human and even better with dogs. His experience and demeanor helped him manage my two large dogs while we were out of town. He was communicative, clear, and caring to our needs. He administered medication to both dogs and went above and beyond.”


About: I have been surrounded by cats and dogs since childhood, caring for them from their early days to their senior years. Currently, I have three beloved cats who made the journey with me from Ukraine—I could never imagine leaving them behind. Before that, I had two dachshunds, and every moment with them was precious. One of them faced a serious leg injury, and I personally handled their nursing care, following veterinary recommendations with dedication. My pets are not just animals—they are family. I understand their needs, emotions, and the love they deserve, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to dedicate quality time to each pet while balancing my personal commitments. Since I don’t have a full-time job right now, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, personalized care that suits both pets and their owners' schedules. I am currently taking ESL classes and learning English, which means my schedule is adaptable. I can plan pet visits, walks, and overnight stays around my classes, ensuring pets receive consistent attention and companionship. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I am available to provide reliable, loving care whenever needed. My approach to pet care is tailored to each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it's daily visits, overnight stays, or extended care, I provide attentive and compassionate service. - I follow the pet’s regular feeding schedule and ensure they always have fresh water. - Walks, play sessions, and mental stimulation to keep them happy and engaged. - Administering medications, following vet recommendations, and handling any special care requirements. - Providing cuddles, belly rubs, and a calming presence to ease separation anxiety. - Keeping the environment clean, including litter box maintenance and accident clean-up. - Sending photos and updates so owners feel connected and reassured while away.

“Erin was very communicative and competent. Kitty opened up to her very quickly. I felt very comfortable leaving Kitty in Erin’s care and will definitely book again.”

“Alan did an amazing job watching my cat for the weekend! Check-ins were punctual and thorough, and he was extremely communicative and pleasant to work with. Will definitely look for him again!”


“We can not thank Elizabeth enough. Last minute we needed someone to look over our 3 year old frenchie while we went on a trip back home, and with in a couple hours of putting in a request with Elizabeth she responded saying she would do it! While we were gone we received updates and pictures regarding how Vader was doing! If you have any hesitations I hope this helps because Elizabeth is amazing! Thank you again so much!”


“Charlie was awesome with our animal friends while we're were away. He was communicative and kept in contact regularly. We appreciate the photos he sent us and the kindness he demonstrated to our animals. Charlie is a wonderful human and we are grateful he made our animals feel cared for. We would totally hire Charlie again to take care of our animals.”


About: Not only have I worked in the industry for many years I have been trusted to take care of pets that have very specific needs. This ranges from administration of medications, assisting pets who are blind/deaf and assisting animals with megaeaopagus. I love animals and have worked previously in a wildlife center. I work a regular 9–5 schedule, but I do have some flexibility during the day. If you're located near the University of Washington, I’d be happy to stop by for midday walks or check-ins during my lunch break. Evenings and weekends are typically wide open, and I’m always happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need! I always love taking the dogs on walks and ensuring to enrich them daily. With my own family dog I love hiking and taking them swimming.

About: I’ve taken care of puppies to junior dogs—and nothing brings me more joy than taking them on fun, stimulating walks! From energetic pups learning leash manners to curious ‘teenage’ dogs who need adventure —while keeping them safe and happy. I’m currently on break right now for 2 months and have plenty of time every day to go on adventure walks with new furry friends ! Fully Fenced Backyard - Secure playtime for dogs, with room to sniff, explore, and burn energy safely. I treat every pet like my own—because they deserve safety, fun, and endless love / while you’re busy.
