Dog Sitting Mukilteo

About: Greetings! I offer over night and day time pet care in my home for your friendly dogs! I am home with our two dogs during the day, so your dog will have plenty of company. Both dogs are 12-15lbs. I have a long history of pet sitting as well as fostering dogs through rescue groups. Our household consists of two adults, one teenager, the two pooches and a small parrot. I have a very flexible schedule, so your dog will be well tended to with plenty of attention and outdoor breaks. I am also happy to take your dog for nice long walks. We do have a fenced in backyard. I respect and understand that each dog has its own history, temperament and personality and will work to meet their needs and keep them feeling safe. PLEASE NOTE: I can only accommodate dogs that sleep through the night and have no history of overnight accidents in the house. I look forward to providing your furry loved one with a comfortable place to stay full of walks, play, and attention. ***Please read the section “What is important to know about your dog” section. Why I love dog sitting I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and was born into a home with a mixed breed sweetie. I have been known to let stray dogs into my car to keep them out of danger and locate their owners. I first became a dog owner in my twenties for one of the best years of my life...but I can tell you that bittersweet story when we meet. My weekdays are highly flexible, and my two dogs are woven into the fabric of my routines. I pay close attention to potty time, feeding and monitor interactions amongst dogs. Our pets generally have free range of the home, and the two small dogs sleep on our bed. Your dog would be welcome to sleep in the bedroom or another room if prefers space. Crates and beds welcome. We have a sliding door with no outside stairs in the back and a fenced in backyard. We have a baby gate at bottom of stairs, if it’s preferable to keep one/some/all dogs up or downstairs or separated for breathing room :)

“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: 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.

“Such a comfort to have you stop by for my boys!”

About: I've been responsible for pets since age 10. Cleaning litter boxes, walking dogs, playing fetch, refilling food dishes, and being a patient, gentle, attentive owner who reciprocates unconditionally love. Now, at age 30, I've gained a deep understanding of cats and dogs, raised many from kittens and puppies, and have parented them through full, happy lives. I work a part time job as a home designer in Seattle, only about three days a week, 15-20 hours, usually mornings. I have plenty of time for pet care most evenings and my weekends are always free. Please give me a few days notice for weekday pet care so we can work around my schedule. I live in a spacious apartment with one roommate who is also very gentle and loving toward animals. We keep our areas tidy and our food secured in high up cupboards and in the fridge. I live in the master bedroom and keep my door open and my floor clean as well. There are comfy couches and a queen bed if you'd like your pet to have free reign on furniture. There is also a large, open grass field just a five minute walk from my apartment for dogs to run around and play.

About: I grew up caring for my family’s cats and dogs, and I currently have two cats of my own. I also spent six months at a dog boarding and training facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. During that time, I gained hands-on experience with everything from dogs who were learning how to walk on a leash for the first time to dogs who struggled with fear, reactivity, and aggression towards people or other dogs. I learned the importance of patience, consistency, trust, and meeting each dog where they are. I’m also the go-to pet sitter for friends and regularly provide in-home stay, caring for multiple pets at a time. Whether your pet needs a little extra patience, lots of playtime, or simply a calm and loving presence, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet behind. I’ll treat them like my own and do everything I can to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I work a flexible full-time hybrid job, which allows me to offer a wide range of availability throughout the week. I’m available for daytime visits, walks, and overnight stays, with weekend availability when scheduled in advance. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide consistent, attentive care. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll maintain their normal routine, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep their space clean and comfortable. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I give my own.

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

“Naomi was so sweet with Simba! During our meet and greet, he warmed up to her right away and even let her rub his belly, which isn’t something he does with everyone. She was kind, patient, and communicative, and she sent updates and photos during his walk, which I really appreciated. Simba came back happy, and I’d definitely book with Naomi again!”

About: Ever aince I got my dog Oscar when I was 12, I have been completely obsessed with dogs! I did the majority of his training and care when he was a puppy, and he became fully house trained, leash trained, and learned lots of fun tricks! Since then, I have cared for countless dogs all over California and Washington in the form of drop-in house visits, walks, going on runs, and overnight house-sitting visits. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I’m currently working nights mostly so from anytime in the morning until around 2pm I am available for walks and drop ins but I am not currently available for overnight stays. I am currently in an small apartment that doesn’t allow pets, so unfortunately I would only be able to care for pets in clients’ homes

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

“Did a great job with my pup. Reliable dog walks and he seemed very content when I returned home after a 13 hour day. She’s incredible and 10/10 recommend.”

“Gene watched our two very large dogs on short notice. He was great always showing up on time and giving them all the attention they needed. He worked hard to make it a seamless experience, and we will definitely be asking him to come back in the future!”

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I've cared for a wide range of dog breeds - including Pugs, Labs, Pitbulls, and Akitas — handling everything from energetic pups to gentle seniors. I'm also a devoted cat parent to three cats of my own, comfortable with all aspects of cat care, from feeding and litter box routines to playtime and companionship. My experience volunteering at the Everett Animal Shelter has given me even more exposure to animals of different breeds, ages, and temperaments. I live near trails and parks in Everett, great for dog walks and outdoor time. Whether your pet is a high-energy dog or an independent cat, I treat every animal with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. Since I run my own travel advisory business, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a real priority — not just something squeezed in around a 9-to-5. I'm able to offer consistent availability throughout the day for walks, feedings, and check-ins, and I'm not tied to rigid office hours, so last-minute requests or extended care are rarely a problem. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine, whether that means a midday walk, spending quality time with a cat throughout the afternoon, or being available for early mornings and evenings. Your pet will get attentive, unhurried care from someone who genuinely has the time and flexibility to give them what they need. All of my pet care takes place in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable and secure. For walks, I focus on making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and fresh water along the way, keeping the experience enjoyable and stress-free for them. For pet sitting visits, I handle all the essentials - feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, and administering medication if needed. I also make sure to give your pet plenty of attention and companionship during each visit, and I'm happy to send updates so you can feel at ease while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities, whether it's a quick walk or an extended sitting visit.

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

“Had such a great experience with Yomna, she looked after our 2, high maintenance, dogs. They were so happy when she would show up as well as us knowing they had someone caring to look after them. She gave us such peace of mind with her communication and updates. Would love to have her watch our pups again!”

Evelyn C.

“Shayla dropped in to visit my cat while I was away for a few days, and when I returned home he was so happy and content! I can tell my cat felt comfortable since he jumped right in and started playing right away. I will definitely book with Shayla again!”

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.

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

About: Your fur baby will get lots of love, attention, and walks! I live in a Lynnwood townhouse with my 6‑year‑old daughter and our beta fish, Blue Orca. I’ve owned a Jack Russell Terrier and a Shiba Inu, and I’ve also walked and cared for dogs through Rover and Wag. Since I’m home working on my online degree, your dog will never be left alone for long. Message me anytime — I’m quick to reply. Can’t wait to meet your pup! I’m currently working on an online degree which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m home most of the day and can easily follow a routine for daily walks or visits to keep your pet happy and cared for. Your pet is welcome anywhere in our home and can sleep in the living room or on a cozy dog bed. I can also crate them in the evening if that’s your preference. I follow your pet’s daily routine so they feel comfortable and right at home.
