“Elaina was amazing. She took care of our house while we were out for the day, and brought such peace of mind regarding Ace. I never worried for a moment, and just when I would start to think about him, I would get a whole bunch of pictures of him living his best life with his bestie! Elaina was truly so kind, and caring, I'm glad that I found her!”
“Mackenzie was absolutely amazing! I was so worried to leave my senior pets for 10 days but she put me ease with her kindness and experience. She had great communication and compassion towards my pets when they had an accident. I felt like she truly loved them as her own. We also loved getting photo updates throughout our trip- she even crocheted cute little hats for the dogs and cat. Would love to have her back to sit again!”
“Absolutely excellent! Spectacular communication, adorable photos, and genuine fondness for our cats at every step of the way. I will definitely be booking with Jeanne again, if I have the chance!”
“Angelica is great! I have really bad separation anxiety from my dog and am a huge worry wart. But she provided endless amounts of pictures and videos to put my worrying at ease and always kept me updated on my dogs whereabouts. Will definitely book her again! 10/10 recommend.”
“Kory was an excellent and professional dog sitter! He was quick to respond to my communications, gave detailed information, and provided me with pictures and videos of the dogs while we were away. It gave us great peace of mind to enjoy our trip! He managed medications, feeding schedules, walks, indoor/outdoor potty and barking issues were managed well, and our dogs were so happy! Will definitely hire again to care for our doggos.”
About: Hello! We are Hunter and Ellyssa. Just a married couple that grew up with farm animals and loves dogs. Together, we've fostered 4 rescue dogs - some reactive, some super calm - and raised them to become ready for their forever homes! We don't have any pups of our own right now and so we are welcoming all kinds of pups in our home! Ellyssa (uh-Lisa) has taken care of doberman's and dachshunds since she was 11 years old. She loves every type of dog personality and looks forward to dog walks as much as the dogs. She has helped rescue dogs from Mexico and has fostered over 10 dogs of varying ages from 4 months to 13 years old senior dogs. Hunter grew up with 2 golden retrievers named Rosie & Susie and then became a dog trainer for search and rescue dogs in North Carolina. He's helped train puppies up until they were 3 years old and loves to learn about every dog's quirks. We both work flexible remote jobs and spend 6 out of 7 days at home. When we do choose to go in-office, it's usually just to get out of the house. Because of our flexible jobs, we are able to build our schedules around puppy care and senior care needs. We're happy to provide boarding and daycare at our home or at your home! Wherever your pups are most comfortable with. Walking visits are also available if we can arrange a regular schedule so it can be worked into our work calendars! For all services, we will ask you for your dog’s daily routine, their personality quirks, preferences, etc. so they can trust us sooner! And of course, we will send photos! Daycare, housesitting, and overnight stays would be structured around your pup’s existing schedule. Walks and check-ins would occur as close to your pup’s schedule as possible with the time range you choose. We are experienced with both puppies (hard minimum age of 8 weeks) and senior dogs that have a range of diet, potty, and oral medication needs. We are also experienced with reactive dogs with a history of biting. However, we only take reactive dogs on a case-by-case basis after a trial meet and greet walk with you (the human) present. We live in a very pet-friendly apartment complex that has a dog spa station that we use for grooming visiting pups. Our own apartment is a spacious 1100+ square foot 2 bed/2 bath apartment with a patio that has space for up to 2-3 dogs for boarding. We live near a very walkable neighborhoods and 2 parks that are dog friendly. We also live near Edmonds and enjoy taking dogs to the beach if they are a fan of humans and water.
“Joe was great! He sent pictures daily and spent time with our Aries. He was very conscientious and seemed to enjoy our pup. He cared for our home and went beyond to try to repair a minuscule item when it broke. We will definitely consider Joe for future house sitting”
“Holly is an absolute dream to work with! We feel so comfortable knowing she is with our animals. Communication is easy and we always feel looped in to how our pets are doing while we're away.”
“We are so happy with the care our dog and cat received with Carina. She was professional and attentive to all our instructions. We were glad to have daily updates and photos and we felt so at ease while we were gone knowing she had everything under control. We came home to calm, happy pets and a tidy house. We are so very grateful for Carina's wonderful pet/house sitting skills. Highly recommended!”
“Serenity was truly exceptional with our senior girl, and we are so grateful for the level of care she provided. From the moment we left, she made sure we felt at ease. We never leave our dogs, and this was so hard to do but she sent regular updates with photos and videos so we could see how comfortable and happy our girl was. These updates meant a lot to us considering our girl is older and needs a little extra attention. Beyond caring for our dog, Serenity grabbed our mail and kept our home incredibly clean. Walking back into a spotless house after traveling was a gift and it speaks volumes about her respect for our space and her professionalism. It was very clear Serenity loves pet sitting! She was patient, gentle, attentive, and treated our little girl like family. We felt completely comfortable leaving our girl in her hands and we'd book again without hesitation. Anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and truly outstanding sitter would be lucky to have her. Thank you, Serenity! We truly appreciate you!”
“Bricca did a wonderful job watching my 3 senior dogs that require a lot of care!! I came back to a clean house and happy pups/kitties! She sent plenty of picture updates while I was on my trip, so I didn't feel stressed about my fur kids while I was gone. She was also very accommodating as far as key pick up and drop off and was easily reachable over the phone! I would highly recommend Bricca!!!”
“Michelle was an amazing pet sitter. She was my first live-in overnight sitter and she helped me feel so at ease about the whole process. She communicated well prior to the pet sitting dates, and she sent me daily updates on how things were going along with pictures of my very happy dogs while in her care. I have three dogs with different needs and abilities and they all had a great time with her. I would absolutely use her again for future pet sitting needs!”
“Dylan was wonderful with our dog, Lacy, and cat, Carlisle. They both got on great with him and he was extremely communicative the entire time. He helped us relax during our international trip knowing our pets were in great hands. Would absolutely recommend Dylan to anyone!”
“Cindy is an awesome dog sitter. She was prompt, sent updates and pictures which I so appreciate! Archie was walked and loved while I was away. Thank you for taking great care of Archie!”
“Jon takes such good care of our dog Jax. You can tell how much Jax likes him. He gets so excited when Jon comes to our house. He also takes such good care of our house, and it is always so clean when we come home.”
“John watched our rambunctious 80 pound German Shepherd for the first time and he had great communication with us the entire time which eased my anxiety of leaving her with a new person. He got to the house exactly when he said he would and spent the entire day hanging out with her. Everything went really smoothly and we will definitely use him again because he is reliable and a good communicator.”
“George took great care of our two dogs while we were away on a trip. He is very responsive and sent lots of updates. We really appreciated the flexibility in his schedule that allowed him to check in often. We came home to a couple of happy guys! We will be booking with him again on our next trip.”

Lindsey has done a wonderful job caring for our anxious pup in our home! She communicates very well (with fun pictures). It was very hot while we were away and she proactively thought about watering plants and doing dog walks in the cool part of the day. We plan to have her sit again!!! Thank You!
Ellyssa and Hunter took wonderful care of our Dachshund, Bentley, while house-sitting. They were communicative, professional, respectful of our home, and incredibly kind and patient with Bentley's quirks. They quickly understood his personality, and he warmed up to them right away - playing, lounging in the sun, and enjoying plenty of blanket snuggles. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was so comfortable and well cared for while we were away. We've already booked them for our next trip and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring pet sitters!
As always, Elaina is a gem. The day started with Ace barging into the house, because he smelled Elaina and then he-politely- tackled her when he saw her. He just loves her so much! It was hot when she watched our dog, and she was totally on it. She didn't take him on a longer afternoon walk because it was just too hot. It makes all the difference when you can trust the person watching your dog! We also came home to all of our dishes done, which just about made me cry, it was such a nice touch to come home to after a long day at work!
Amy and our almost 3-year old puppy have quickly become best buds. I knew the first time we met Amy that would be the case. She sends us photos of Inky who always looks like she's very relaxed or having fun or both. I would definitely recommend anyone to hire Amy to take care of their 4-legged family members except when we need her!!
David was great with the dogs and always gave sent us pics of their adventures. He was dog sitting our pups at our home and left our home in the same condition that we left it. David was very professional, communicative, and understanding. Our dogs had a great time with David, and they were missing him by the end.
Maya was extremely attentive to our dogs. She provided consistent updates, was communicative with us, and sent lots of photo updates through the day. We have a dog with a lot of medical issues and she was able to administer the drugs to her, no problem. We have another dog that has lots of separation anxiety and Maya was willing to stay with her for most of the day. We came back to a tidied up house. We appreciate Maya and we hope to be able to use her in the future.
