“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!”


About: I've pet sat for my friends and co-workers while they are on vacation many times through out the year. Just tell me their needs and I'll be happy to help! I currently work hybrid and part-time Monday-Friday so my hours pretty flexible. Anytime before 8:30 am or after 2pm I'm definitely free, in between that time I could make work with notice. Weekend and most holidays totally free. I have no pets in my home so all the attention would be on your pets. I'll make sure to read any left instructions for your pet and take care accordingly.

“Chris checked in on my cat when I was out of town for Thanksgiving week. He sent daily pics and made sure to let me know when my cat ran out of food due to my own mistake and was quick to purchase a small bag for him. I really appreciated his communication and his attention to my cat.”


“Roman is the best! I have a very high energy pup that needs lots of support & attention. Roman did an amazing job caring for my pup. Great communication and very responsive.”


“Just returned from long weekend. Brett could not have done a better job caring for our cat Finnegan. He did everything I asked, connected well with Finn and communicated with me in a way that reassured me that all was going smoothly . Recommend him without reservation.”


“Very friendly and communicative! Went the extra mile by cleaning up after one of the cats had an accident, and also by cleaning the litter regularly. Also sends the best pictures! Would book her services again!”


About: I have cared for dogs of all kinds my entire life - whether they are puppies or seniors, high or low energy, I will match their vibes and provide the best care they deserve. I don’t have a 9-5, which means your fur babies get 100% of the love and attention. I live in a vibrant, walkable neighborhood with parks minutes away from my doorstep. I provide regular potty breaks, long walks, and all-day companionship. If you would like, I can update you with photos and short videos during the stay so you can see your babies are safe, happy and totally loved. I live a spacious two-bedroom apartment with my sweet 9-year-old Shiba/American Eskimo mix, Katsu. I provide all kinds of services including doggy walks, daycare, drop-in visit and house care. When dogs stay at my place, they will have their own designated areas, separated by puppy gates to ensure a calm, safe, and stress-free environment.

“Great communication and attention to detail, best pet sitter I’ve had the pleasure of hiring!”


About: I grew up with a toy poodle named Prince who was a life companion to me. As a young adult I adopted an australian shepherd and raised him to be sweet and caring with both humans and animals. I've lived with and raised many cats and love spending time with them. I am vigilant and caring, especially with family/friends/my partner and her child. I am very confident in my ability to care for others. I own and operate an interior photography business, scheduling shifts with my clients at my own pace. My daily/weekly schedule is quite flexible, I am available to care for and walk your animal companions most days of the week. I love going on walks and will get as much enjoyment out of the walks as your furry buddies will. I live in an apartment complex with an enclosed courtyard, it is safe and cozy. In my client's home I will respect the space and be sure to leave it better than I found it. I prefer to keep my home clean and tidy. I am confident in my ability to create a safe environment for pets to feel at home and cared for in their homes. I am really good at reading an animal's behaviors/needs and will pay close attention to their needs (food, bathroom break, walks, etc.).

“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.”


“Erin was great with my cat Sophie :) She was very responsive to my inquires and when she came to take care of Soso, she was amazing playing with her and feeding her on schedule. I will definitely hire Erin again. Thank you so much!”


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.

“Thank you again Sarah!!”


“Haley was so wonderful checking in on our cat while we were out of town for a few days. Our cat was happy and content when we got home. Such a peace of mind.”


“Adoniz did everything I asked and sent pictures of the girls for me. Communication was great and she was prompt. Will ask her to sit/walk again for me!”


“Julia is amazing! She has been dropping in to check on my senior cat. She always takes great care of my cat and also goes above & beyond to help with extra favors that I ask of her. I highly recommend Julia to anyone who needs help with their furry friends!”


“Riah was amazing, she knew how to handle our extremely skittish dog and our extra spicy kitty. She keeps us updated and notices small things that help the animals stay comfortable”


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.

“Cassandra was extremely attentive to my dog’s needs and communicated extremely well! I am always a bit apprehensive when leaving my puppy with someone new but quickly felt comfortable with Cassandra. I could tell he was well taken care of when we returned and I will definitely book with Cassandra again as much as possible.”
