Dog Sitting Mukilteo

About: Hello animal lovers! I grew up with dogs. First was a Golden Retriever then several Old English Mastiffs to follow. I adore big dogs and know they are gentle giants. I also adore "smaller dogs" too, those under 125lbs (ha!) I have been dog sitting on and off for about 15 years. About me, I'm responsible, mature, reliable and fun, your dog will love me. I'm happy to play fetch or snuggle your pooch, whatever is best for them. I am a care taker by trade so your pup will be in good hands. I am able to spend most of the day with your pup on longer stays. I am looking forward to meeting you and your dog soon! Pet care is my main job right now so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pet whether at home or on a walk. I cannot currently board pets or do doggy day care but am happy to come to your home to care for any of your pets.

About: Hi! My name is Celestine, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I have experience looking after both dogs and cats through personal pet sitting, family care, and volunteer work at PAWS Animal Shelter. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs — from playful, energetic pets to shy or senior animals that need extra patience and gentle attention. Growing up, I regularly helped neighbors, friends, and family with pet sitting responsibilities such as feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, giving fresh water, playtime, and making sure pets felt safe and comfortable while their owners were away. I’ve also cared for my siblings’ cats and understand how important consistency, cleanliness, and affection are for pets, especially when they’re adjusting to someone new. My experience volunteering at an animal shelter taught me how to stay calm, attentive, and compassionate around animals of all temperaments. I understand that every pet is different, and I always take time to learn their routines, comfort levels, and preferences so they feel secure and cared for. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely love building trust with both pets and owners. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I always do my best to provide updates, communicate clearly, and care for every animal like they’re my own. Your pet will get lots of patience, attention, love, and responsible care with me — plus probably an embarrassing amount of compliments about how cute they are. I’m naturally very organized and good at managing my schedule, so I’m reliable when it comes to feeding times, check-ins, walks, playtime, and keeping pets on their normal routines. Starting in October, I’ll be attending dental hygiene school full time, so my weekday daytime availability will become very limited. However, I still expect to be available some evenings, nights, and most weekends for pet care. No matter how busy life gets, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and I make sure any pet in my care gets consistent attention, patience, and dependable care. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to provide a safe, calm, and dependable experience for both pets and their owners. I am attentive to details, follow care instructions carefully, and make pet safety my top priority. Whether it's ensuring doors and gates are secure, monitoring a pet's behavior for any signs of stress, or maintaining their normal routine, I strive to create an environment where pets feel comfortable and well cared for. Through years of pet sitting and my volunteer experience at PAWS Animal Shelter, I've learned the importance of patience, consistency, and building trust. I understand that every animal is different, and I take the time to respect their boundaries, comfort levels, and individual needs. I also believe trust is built through communication. I am happy to provide updates and photos during visits so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and receiving the attention they deserve while they're away. Above all, I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same level of care, kindness, and responsibility that I would hope someone would show to my own family members.

About: Hi! I'm Courtney, and if there's an animal nearby, there's a pretty good chance I'm saying hello to them before the humans. I grew up as the daughter of a professional dog trainer, so understanding dog behavior has always been second nature to me. I learned early that every dog communicates differently, and that patience, consistency, and a little positive reinforcement can go a long way. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. At home, I'm kept on my toes by my corgi, Xena, and my two cats, Gizmo and Tofu. Living with a dog and cats who all have wildly different personalities has taught me that every pet has their own quirks, routines, and love language—and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each one unique. Whether your pet loves long walks, energetic playtime, quiet cuddles, or just having someone nearby who respects their space, I'm happy to meet them where they are. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, so you can relax knowing they're being cared for like one of my own. I'll also make sure you never have to wonder how they're doing. Expect plenty of updates, photos, and maybe a funny story if your pup decides to zoom around the living room or your cat appoints me as their new personal assistant. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I don't take that lightly. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I work full time Monday through Friday from 6:30 AM to 3:00 PM, which makes me a great fit for evening walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and weekend care. I keep my schedule up to date and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to, so your pet will always receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet's safety and comfort will always come first. I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and respect for their individual personality and routine. Growing up with a dog trainer taught me how to recognize body language, build trust, and create positive experiences without forcing interactions. I'm happy to follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, whether that means a favorite walking route, medication, feeding schedule, playtime, or plenty of cuddle breaks. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

“I think my pup loves Adam more than me!”

“Janee took care of my three babies very well. It was a bit rocky at first because im very new to rover and the app kept glitching but not her fault. Anyways I have a new kitten and he warmed up to her right away. My other cat also eventually warmed up to her and were comfortable. Thank you for keeping my babies company!! (: I recommend her!”

About: I've taken care of puppies and dogs with special needs through neighbor walks for friends and students. I enjoy long walks and playing with them. I also have a pet at home. I recently graduated from grad school and am in the search for jobs, so can manage my time freely to take care of your pets. I can accommodate most schedules, any day. I enjoy being with dogs! I'm really careful in taking care of pets when doing walks, keeping them at home, or visiting dog parks. I can arrange this at home so your pet can feel comfortable.

“This was our first time using Rover and felt a little nervous. As soon as we meet Kaitlyn for a meet and greet we felt extremely comfortable moving forward. She is extremely knowledgeable and we saw how comfortable she was with our two large labs. She provided detailed updates every time she came for our scheduled drop in visits. Will definitely rebook with her in the future 😊”

“Jalyn did an amazing job looking after our two cats during our vacation. Would recommend/rebook!”

About: My first question for anyone with a dog is “can I please pet your dog?”. I have a strong love for our canine family and I take great pride in giving them the best time when I take care of them. I can give them bathes and brush them if needed! I ensure that I will spoil your dog with love and cuddles as if they are my own! Anytime after 4pm Monday-Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday. Whether its a 2+ mile walk or just needs to be let outside while you're at work, I can certainly help with that! My dog passed last February but I always loved spoiling her with attention and treats! I took her on many walks during her 14 years.

“Sherri was such a blessing to have for our senior pup. He warmed up to her right away and enjoyed her company through a week of check-ins. We could not be happier in our choice to have Sherri as our sitter and would have her again in a moments notice. She was prompt, professional, easy to work with, and most importantly she loved on our dog like he was her own. Cannot say enough good things about her!”

About: Hi, I'm Yma! I've been a proud pet parent for over 12 years, and my current companion is Sydnee, my sweet 9-year-old pup. We both love having extra four-legged friends around, and I'm happy to provide a safe, loving place where they can feel right at home. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and free of clutter, so your furry family member will have plenty of room to relax and play. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, explore, and burn off energy whenever they want. I work Monday through Friday, I leave home around 7:30 and am home by 3:00 PM each day and available all weekend, giving me plenty of time to spend with your pet. Whether they enjoy playtime, belly rubs, or simply lounging with company, I'll make sure they receive lots of attention, care, and love while you're away. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I'll treat them like one of my own! I work Monday through Friday, leave home around 7:30am and I'm home by 3:00 PM each day and available all weekend, giving me plenty of time to spend with your pet. Whether they enjoy playtime, belly rubs, or simply lounging with company, I'll make sure they receive lots of attention, care, and love while you're away. I have a very spacious back yard which is fully fenced and nothing for them to get into except their toys. I also have a 9 year old pointer that can play with your pup as she gets along with most dogs.

About: I have worked in the foster care system in high school. I have owned many dogs until their old age and it was time to let them go. I have trained dogs to make them adoptable people that said this dog needs to be put down. It is untrainable I have been able to work with in train. I was a housekeeper/house manager for a family who had a blue nose pit who hated everybody and I did the Cesar Milan no touch no talk no eye contact and I ignored him for 24 hours and after that we became the best of friends, and if he heard my voice, he would search the house for it and then pouted if he couldn’t find it, I became his person. And I had another friend who had a very large pitbull who would get put in timeout because he got a little too excited and I was always on dog duty so I would go and sit in timeout with him because he was only in timeout because he’s excited cause people are there. He wasn’t doing anything bad he just needed to calm down so I would sit in there until I calm down and then we would go back and enjoy the party, but I was always put on dog duty. I am working right now, but I work very close to home so if you are boarding your pet with me, I can come home on my lunch and take the animal out for a potty break and just say hi and maybe give him a snack. And depending on how far away you are from my work if it’s within my 30 minute work lunch I will be more than happy to come and let your dog out. We own a 40 acre farm and we have a sawdust pen that we use for overly dominant dogs so they have time to let them run around and then we also have six dog crates that we utilize for dogs that need to be on a two week quarantine and then we bring them in the house and we train them on leashes and we train them on potty training and we do everything we can to make them suitable for the right person. We have a dog run and all of that but because of how many foster dogs we have having dogs come stay at our house is not an option unfortunately so I would have to do all of the housesitting at the owners house and I am an extension of the parent so if the parent takes the dog on three walks a day, the dog is gonna get taken on three walks a day if the dog gets two walks a day, one in the morning, one at night and then gets to play in the backyard in the afternoon then that’s what we’re gonna do. I am an extension of the parent. I have brought that philosophy over from working in the daycare. I used to be an extension of the parent. I am an extension to the owner and anything the owner wants the owner will get you will get a clean house you will if you have any random chores that you want done that you just haven’t gotten to or things organize because you haven’t had time these are things that I love to do I don’t sit around and watch TV much so keeping me busy is great but I also like to write letters and color so if you don’t have anything for me to do then, you don’t have anything for me to do

“Katie is great with Henry and always happy to see him!”

About: I’m a reliable and dependable caregiver with a long background in animal care such as: daycare/boarding, rescuing/fostering and over 4 years of veterinary medicine. Currently I am a full time veterinary assistant. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages from puppies to seniors and those with special needs. I can also administer medications when needed. I’m attentive, experienced with all types of pets, and committed to keeping your pet safe and happy! I’m available Sunday-Tuesday for both walks and drop in visits. I’m free pretty much all day to check in and play with your fur babies! Safety is my number one priority. I always open doors slowly and cautiously as to ensure no one tries to sneak past. I double check collars/harnesses/leashes before every walk. I follow care instructions carefully to ensure both mine and the pets safety.

“Jennifer is awesome! Our cat is almost 19 and we worry about leaving her. It’s a relief to know that both is receiving tons of love while we’re away!”

“Great pictures and I can tell you love our pup and kitty!”

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life, and have relished in taking care of them and teaching them fun tricks. I have pet-sit for family before, which has included some special needs dogs. I’ve spent a lot of time with friend’s and family’s cats, and plan on getting one myself soon. I also have a lot of experience handling horses and other farm animals, which has made me confident with many different behaviors and sizes of pets. I love reading and studying animal behaviors, and will always listen to them. I currently intern 3 days a week at a horse barn, and am doing a couple hours of babysitting a week as well. I am a college student who is looking for extra cash on select days that I am free. I’m currently living in an apartment, so I am not comfortable with taking care of people’s pets in my home as I don’t think there’s enough space for a dog.

“Helped me out when I needed it! Great person my dog really liked Toni”

“Zeryab was AMAZING! Very communicative throughout the booking. Truly took care of my babies like her own. I cannot thank her enough. She went above and beyond in making sure they didnt feel lonely while I was away and also made extra trips as her schedule allowed, just to check on them by herself. No extra charges. I am so very grateful to have found a trustworthy caretaker for my furbabies. Will always book with her in the future.”

Sanya A.

“Asim always does a great job with my cats. It gives me peace of mind to know she’s coming by to feed and check on them while we’re away.”
