Pet Sitting Montlake

About: I'm a software engineer working from home looking to break up my day with some exercise. You will find me to be reliable and communicative. I love dogs. I adopted Wally from shelter 10 years ago, and he's been getting 10k steps a day ever since. I frequently care for friends' dogs, and would love to help yours get out more. I'm a freelance software engineer with control over my schedule and a very predictable routine. I can accommodate walks almost any time during the day with a little notice. I live in an apartment in SLU with a very high energy beagle. I know how to keep him stimulated and and well exercised. We know all the parks and neighborhoods nearby and where to get a drink of water on a hot day.

About: I’ve grown up taking care of dogs since I was a kid! Additionally, I’ve worked at a Puppies & Yoga studio where I spent most of my time with puppies. Im currently fresh out of college, so I have plenty of time to dig-sit/walk your pets! On weekends, I am available post noon. I’m always vigilant while walking dogs, especially while interacting with other pets and people, and making sure they are leashed at all times. I closely follow your exact feeding, walking, and medication schedules to maintain consistency with your routine.

“Lyric was incredible! She did a Meet and Greet beforehand to learn the ropes and was more than willing to help administer two medications to my elder kitty. She we very communicative, took really fun photos of my fur kids, and even offered input on our journey to get a dog. She is a gem!”

About: I am happiest when caring for and bonding with animals of all kinds. As a volunteer with both a local animal shelter and wildlife rehabilitation center I have had experience providing extensive and complex care for animals with all sorts of differing needs. Growing up with, and continuing to care for, animals of my own has taught me so much about providing care at every stage of life. I have helped raise puppies, kittens, small chicks, and bottle fed orphaned wildlife. I am very comfortable understanding and respecting the boundaries of more reactive animals and will tailor my care to your pets individual needs and personality. I would be honored to be entrusted with your pets care and prioritize safety and communication above all else! I have a flexible schedule and will work with you in order to provide the best care for your pet/s where and when you need it. Safety is my number one priority, and I believe wholeheartedly in always acting with care and honesty. The care I provide is informed by your advice and individual needs, and the most important thing to me is providing a safe and comfortable environment for your pet.

“Sol is amazing with my cats! Communicative, reliable and loving. I highly recommend them!”

“Maria went above and beyond for my 2 rabbits. I didn't have to worry about them while I was away because Maria followed all of my care instructions and sent updates and photos every day. Thank you!”

“Amy was so kind, wonderful, and thorough when watching our cat! She was very timely and communicative, so I always knew exactly what was going on. I could tell by the pictures that our cat loved her!! I would highly recommend Amy for your pet-sitting needs, and we will definitely be using her services in the future!”

“Angela takes such good care of our cat! Our cat was very anxious while we were away and Angela was very attentive in making sure she felt safe, was well fed, and got lots of attention. Angela is also very proactive in communicating and sharing updates. I highly recommend entrusting Angela to care for your pet!”

“Carly was amazing! Very flexible as I had to schedule the visits last minute. Excellent communication and she took lots of photos of my two boys! My one cat is very skittish and tends to hide around new people but he came out for her and let her give him pets! They clearly liked and trusted her. Very grateful to know they were taken such good care of while I was away. Will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Did a wonderful job looking after our cats for two weeks! I’m so impressed she got both cats (with very different personalities) to love her so much!”

About: I’ve taken care of my beloved family dog, a Miniature Schnauzer, since her adoption when I was 11 years old. Over the years I’ve done petsitting for dogs of small-large sizes, and ages 1 year-14 years, for families close to mine or with a more distant connection. I pride myself in my close attention to your pet’s health and safety: strict diet adherence (sorry doggos, I know you would prefer all the human food!), responsible leashing on walks, restraint in the car, and plenty of love and play. Most recently I cared for a very sweet medium-large Australian Shepherd who loves frisbee fetch and his squeaky toy :) My motivation for seeking pet care roles comes from my love for spending time with dogs and cats, and (let’s be honest) I’m a college student who could use a little more cash and a little more critter cuddles. I am most available on weekends, starting Fridays in the early afternoon and ending Monday early mornings. As a college student, I do have other gaps throughout the week and on breaks that I would be happy to discuss. I care deeply about safety in everything I do, and especially with your fuzzy family member. I also work in a research lab, so I am no stranger to following procedures- however complicated your pet’s routines are, I will stick to them! If your pet likes to visit parks a little bit away from your home, I’m happy to take them on short drives. I have a valid driver’s license and have never gotten a ticket, and I will only allow drives if your pet has a soft carrier, harness seat belt, or other restraints. I believe keeping pets entertained helps them stay out of dangerous mischief, so it’s a good thing scritches and play are some of my favorite things to do too :)

“Easy to work with! Took great care of my cats!”

“Laura was able to cat and tortoise sit for us with just a few days notice. Both animals were very content when we arrived back home and she sent lots of photos to keep us updated. We will definitely have Laura back in the future.”

“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!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young. My youngest memories include our family Labs who were sweet silly, treat-loving dogs. Almost fifteen years ago, my family adopted Clover, a Schnauzer poodle who loves to sit outside and bask in the sun. Recently, my family adopted Theo, a chocolate Lab who is a silly boy who loves playing with squeaky toys and running outside. I enjoy playing with dogs, taking them on walks, or simply relaxing by their side. Throughout my childhood, I would often cat and dog sit for my neighbors, making sure each pet gets the care and attention they deserve. I love spending time with animals, and appreciate that each pet has their own personality and boundaries. I have some training skills, and have taken care of senior pets as well. I’ve watched over more reactive dogs, but prefer interacting with dogs that are calmer and approachable. I’m currently working remotely part-time so I have flexibility in my schedule and would love to care for your furry friend. I can accommodate for most days, with some limitations Monday and Wednesday evenings. Let’s chat more about your needs and see what we can schedule. While caring for pets, I try to keep their routine consistent and follow all instructions you provide to ensure that pets stay safe and happy. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and movement based on their needs and personality. I also keep the home tidy and clean. Communication is important to me, so I’m happy to send updates on how things are going. My ultimate goal is to make sure both the pet and owner feel comfortable and confident in my care.

“Rachel did a fantastic job taking care of our beloved dog, even after he had a rough first night. She also kept an eye on our fish and bunny. Kept us updated every day and took some great pics too! Would definitely book again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since high school and raised my own pup for 16 wonderful years, so I have real experience with senior dogs and their special needs. I offer regular walks and overnight stays at your home, giving your dog the comfort of familiar surroundings. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a senior who needs a little extra gentleness, I’ll treat them like family. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to give to your pets! I do walking trails almost everyday and I recently lost my fur family member of 16 years, so my walks need a companion. I love giving attention to high energy dogs or just chilling with the dogs that love to sniff. My passion is in giving dogs the best lives possible in their short time with us. I want to walk dogs to stay active and keep your pup healthy for many years to come. 🐾🎾🌳 I like to be with the dogs as much as possible when I am dog sitting in someone else’s home. Because I find most dogs like the company, I’ve even managed to get the grumpier old dogs to cuddle next to me. You can expect clear and timely communication from me when looking after your pets as well as a few cute photos!

“Susy has been checking in on our fur babies when we are away for over 5 years now. Our cats just love her and we do too because they are much less angry at us when we come back if she is the one taking care of them 😸 she keeps us updated on details every time and sends great pics 😊 Thank you Susy for being such a trusted friend for our fur babies!!”

“Nicolas is a fantastic cat sitter! I got photos and updates after each visit and my anixous kitty warmed right up to him. My cat had a slight dental emergency while I was away and he kept me updated”

About: I have had pets my whole life, grew up with a medium sized dog and have had cats through my life. very comfortably with animals and enjoy quality time bonding with them/on walks. will treat your pet like they were my own!:) Location: I live in Capital Hill and am happy traveling to UW and Arboretum areas as well. Thank you in advance! I am a college student and usually have a lot of free time during my week, as my class schedule is light. I am available for walks and check ins at varying times throughout the week and on the weekends. I always respect that this is the pets space, meeting them where they are at. recognizing their language if they need a bathroom break, play time, one on one affection, etc.
