Pet Sitting Mount Baker

“Joe is friendly, professional and trustworthy. I would definitely hire him again for any future drop-ins for my elderly dog. He was very responsive and flexible with the scheduling which I ended up needing since my plans got wonky.”

About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routines, and I make it my mission to treat each one like family. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll provide the personalized attention and care they deserve. I’m extremely responsible and follow instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding schedules, specific walking routes, or administering medications. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency, so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. Your dog’s happiness is my top priority, and I’m committed to making sure they feel secure and loved while you’re away. I currently work from home, which allows me to be flexible with my schedule. I’m generally available after 3:30 PM on weekdays and can accommodate requests during that time. On weekends, I have open availability and am happy to adjust to your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I provide a secure, attentive environment where your pet is never left unsupervised during visits or walks. I closely follow your care instructions—whether it’s leash preferences, feeding guidelines, or home routines—to ensure consistency and comfort. I’m also alert to any signs of stress or health issues and will always keep you informed. You can trust that your pet is in loving, responsible hands every step of the way.

About: I grew up with dogs who I was responsible to care for, as well as pet sitting for neighbors and family member's cats and dogs. As an adult I've lived with a roommate and their cat, who I frequently cared for as my roommates traveled out of town frequently. Next I lived with other roommates and their dogs. As I was working from home, I helped a lot with their care. One dog is very nervous and needs a lot of support and reassurance- I am a naturally a very calm person and good at easing and calming animals. The other dog has had some health issues and required medication schedules as well as closely keeping an eye on his behavior and other indicators of health. I've also done a lot of pet sitting and care for my family, including my aunt's senior dog, and my other aunt's large energetic dogs who love to play. I can easily read cat and dog body language and am very attentive to their moods and needs, as well as maintaining a consistent schedule regarding their food, medication, walks, and cleanliness to reduce their stress levels. I am happy to adjust and meet a pet where they are at! I currently work remotely from home, so I can easily adjust my schedule around the needs of your pet. While house-sitting, I am easily able to work from your home to care for your pet during the day, and stay overnight. I will ask for information about your pet's routine as every pet is different. I am extremely comfortable walking dogs on leashes and harnesses, taking them to dog parks if desired, and playing with them in fenced in fields if you pet likes to play fetch. I understand the importance for some pets of a specific feeding and medication schedule will prioritize that for their well being and happiness. I am also comfortable cleaning up after pets, including daily litter box emptying, and light brushing when needed. I have a calm and gentle disposition a lot of pets appreciate but can also be playful when the pet is energetic. I am quite effective at calming down animals and can read cat and dog body language easily. For some pets, a change in their environment like their owner being gone for a trip can be very stressful but the maintenance of routine in addition to comforting company and attention can relieve that anxiety and keep them happy and thriving until you return!

“Thanks Cody for the last minute check in! We truly appreciate that we can trust to look after our puppy!”

“Angelina was fantastic — Gus and Basil loved her and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing the kitties were in such good hand. The pictures and updates were a joy to receive, and we’re a constant reminder of fun the kitties were having and the overall great care Angelina provided.”

Matthew S.

“Shanna took amazing care of our two cats and sent us some great photos along with a note with every check in. It was great to see them and know they were well taken care of! The visits were longer than expected, which I’m sure our cats appreciated too. Great care, communication, and consideration from Shanna! Would absolutely recommend!”

“Alyson was great! Would definitely book again”

Sarah N.

“We're very grateful to Sunny for taking great care of our two cats for a couple weeks! This was our first time leaving our girls in the care of a sitter and we were very happy with the daily pictures, summaries and alerts we received. Since we opted for once a day drop in visits, Sunny was on point about keeping the automated food dispensers well stocked and cleaned (for their afternoon meals), which provided a huge sense of relief knowing that they were well looked after. Thank you also for cleaning up after the girls' mess that they sometimes caused! Our two cats (despite one being very shy) warmed up very quickly to Sunny, which made us happy to know they were comforted. We will definitely be booking again!”

Farith L.

“Andy was awesome. Communicative, professional, and I really appreciated the thorough reports after each visit. It makes us as pet owner feel so reassured. 110% would recommend Andy!”

About: I love pretty much all dogs and enjoy taking them on adventures! I live near lots of beloved spots, including those accessible to dogs with special needs. Whether your beloved prefers intense urban hikes and swims or tender home care and slow movement, I’ve got them taken care of. My heart is especially drawn to the ones who need special care and attunement, such as seniors, disabled dogs, and ornery small ones. My own little angel (recently passed) was very anxiously attached, required medication administration 3-4 times a day, did not enjoy being pet due to pain, and needed to be carried a lot -- but still enjoyed outdoor adventures and had his own ways of showing love. I am patient with dogs that take time to warm up or who have special needs. I have experience with dogs who require diapering, manual bladder and bowel expression due to paralysis, assistive devices, subcutaneous medication administration, and other needs, as well as those with some behavioral issues. I am very comfortable with elderly creatures. Please include information about your animal and their needs in your message and plan for a meet-and-greet. I require either a drop-in visit or a walk before accepting a boarding request for a new client. Thank you! I am a writer and artist who primarily works from home, although I take occasional shifts at a store where I work and some community spaces I support. I enjoy a lot of flexibility and can accommodate most needs with sufficient advance notice. When boarding or watching dogs in the home, I typically take long walks (1 hour) once a day, with shorter walks as needed. I love to take dogs on adventures to area parks, and am familiar with which areas are best for reactive dogs or dogs who use assistive devices. I live in a quiet part of the Mt. Baker neighborhood with lots of parks and trails nearby. I have a lot of experience house-sitting and watching dogs in other people's spaces as well.

“Stephanie was great! She was able to do a last minute visit which we appreciated. Her updates about our puppy, Banks, were so sweet! It sounds like Banks really liked her too!”

Kassidy H.

“Thank you so much Wing Shan for taking such good care of our kitties! She really went above and beyond for them and we came home to two calm kitties. She also helped us with a few odds and ends around the house that we left unfinished before leaving. She is super kind and communicative and responsible, and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”

Stef H.

“Chaunecey was absolutely wonderful. Followed directions, communicated well, and always made sure my babies were well taken care of! I loved the little commentaries she’d have with each visit! Would absolutely recommend to anyone! (:”

I have experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, fish, and Hamsters. I have worked with many animals and am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for any sort pet. I have been a volunteer at the SPCA and have participated in their summer foster programs. I am experienced In a wide variety of pet training methods as well as cat and dog CPR so do not fret no matter what may occur I will take care of your fur baby’s!

Sincerely Your Pet Sitter, Stephanie Luo I have a pretty open schedule so please feel free to message me to talk about your needs and times your looking for a sitter/walker!

About: I’ve watched paralyzed dogs, trained my own rescue Rottweiler, cared for injured animals recovering from surgery, and built trust through social issues like anxiety, reactivity and biting. I love dogs and believe any behavioral issues are signs of stress or bad treatment. “There are no bad dogs, only bad humans.” A dog needs to build up trust and structure to be their best selves. And I know how hard it is to find a dog sitter trained in behavioral issues. That’s why I’m offering services. I can read body language, understand appeasement behaviors, signs of stress, and know how to work with your dog on training routines. If you rescued an animal, or haven’t given up on one that has issues, you deserve a sitter who can see their potential too. I work from home with flexible hours, so I do this work on the side. I’m in grad school Monday and Thursday nights, but can walk, feed, and play with your pets throughout the day. I will keep my schedule updated so you can reliably book with me. Animals I board must be crate trained. My house has two levels, so animals are kept separate and safe with care throughout the day. My dog stays upstairs while boarded animals are in a temperature controlled first level bedroom. They will not interact. This does mean your animal will sleep alone in a bedroom they’re not familiar with, so please take that into account. Also, I live near a fire truck route in North Beacon Hill so there will be traffic noise.

About: I’m the person who stops mid-sidewalk to crouch down and say hello to every dog I come across! I was fortunate enough to grow up with dogs, but over time I’ve learned that loving them and understanding them are two very different things. Part of that comes from my sweet girl, Remy, an aussie/border collie mix who's been with me since she was ten weeks old. We are truly the best adventure duo. We're outside constantly: parks, forest walks, swimming, camping (but swimming is her favorite). She's extremely well trained, with a calm, shy demeanor and near perfect recall. I don't say this to brag (maybe a little) but to point out that even now, at ten years old, we’re still learning together. That process taught me that knowing a dog isn’t about affection alone. It’s about paying attention. I bring that same mindset to every one of my friend's and family's dogs that I care for. Each one has their own logic and their own way of moving through the world. Fisher, a golden, craves attention, so when she’s with me we build that into the day. She even has a standing date at a local cider spot. Oakley lives for the water, so that’s where we go. And then there are the subtleties, like how Fisher will dodge you if you walk toward her mid-play, but will come straight to you if you ask for a touch. These aren’t things you pick up from a guidebook. They come from watching closely and adjusting. My goal is always the same. Figure out what makes each dog feel safe, engaged, and understood, and meet them there. There’s almost always someone home. My partner works remotely full-time, and I work from home usually 3 days a week, so your dog gets real company instead of long stretches alone if we're boarding or doing a daycare scenario. Our days have a natural rhythm. Mornings and evenings are when we’re most active, with walks, longer play sessions, and time outside (unless it's the weekend). During the day, dogs can settle, move between spaces, or engage depending on what they need. I offer drop-ins, longer walks, extended play time like hikes, and boarding. I adjust based on each dog’s energy and routine. We live on the ground floor with a fully enclosed private patio (not a yard). Dogs can move freely between inside and out through a mesh door, and I’m often outside working in warmer months. It’s a calm, private, low-stress environment. I have a high-energy dog, so we are ALWAYS outside on walks, at the park, hiking etc. despite not having a proper yard. Remy is an easy housemate. She’s well-trained, focused, and usually more interested in her ball than new arrivals. She can be protective of her toys, which I manage proactively to keep things smooth, and I've never had issues with any other dogs. For boarding, I take dogs up to about 45 lbs to keep the space balanced. Walks and hikes are open to dogs of any size.

About: I’ve taken care of a small senior dog, big energetic doodle, and a feisty Pomeranian mix. I am very patient and have been able to teach tricks before. I am currently working part-time but the shifts are short and few. This makes me very flexible for your needs. I am happy to accommodate a regular schedule if needed! I am constantly keeping an eye on the pet. If they seem like they need to use the bathroom, I will be paying attention. If they look like they want to play then I will be paying attention. I will keep them both healthy and entertained!

“Always feel good about my older dog’s care with she’s with Brandi! She’s slowing down and has some behavior things and Brandi took care to check in about her walking needs and take her on a gentle walk at her own pace. Definitely trust Brandi for my pet care needs!”

Laura P.

“Clio is a great sitter! Timely responses and great communication with attention to detail and safe, reliable care for the bbs. She knows how to give our old grumpy cat space and our young feisty cat lots of play and cuddles. The young one is especially nervous around new people but he warmed up easily to her when she watched them a few years ago and remembered her and white right back to cuddles this time around. Highly recommend!”

About: I have recently lost my 12 year old English bulldog. While I’m not ready for another companion, I am ready to give love to friendly pets. I have experience with special needs dogs, large breeds, and dogs with special medication needs. I am comfortable with dog-aggressive pets as well. I work full time but have a flexible schedule and often work from home. I am available to care for your pet in your home, and mine as well. Looking forward to meeting your pets! I have flexibility and with proper notice I can accommodate most scheduling needs. I have reliable transportation and often work from home. I am open to discussing your pets needs! I have a clean and pet safe home where your pets are welcome to get on the furniture if they are allowed. I will be happy to use a crate if your animals prefer it, but they are also welcome to roam the house if they won’t destroy furniture. I care for animals as if they were my own, and they will be spoiled when spending time with me.
