“Bridget took great care of my baby boy Philip. Left detailed updates after each of her visits and took photos of him to let me know that he’s in good hands. Will definitely be a return customer!”


“We were impressed with Kelly from the get go, as our female dog came right up to her and liked her. That spoke volumes, as she is a great judge of character. We felt very comfortable to leave both our dogs being sat by Kelly. She checked in and sent pics of our fur kids. We were thankful for the updates which let us know we made a great decision. We highly recommend her because of the care she gave… and because our Little girl said so!”


“We recently had the pleasure of having Samantha take care of our two cats for a week, and we can’t recommend her highly enough! From the very start, Samantha was incredibly communicative, providing regular updates and adorable photos that put our minds at ease while we were away. Not only did she ensure our cats were well-fed and comfortable, but she also took the time to engage with them, making sure they felt loved and cared for. It was clear that Samantha genuinely cares about animals, and one of my cats in particular warmed up to her immediately. Samantha also took intuitive precautions with our more reclusive cat, who had recently had a major health scare, making her feel as comfortable and safe in her space as possible. Samantha's attention to detail was impressive; she followed all of our instructions perfectly and even went above and beyond by asking questions we hadn't thought of. We came home to two happy, healthy cats and a clean space. If you're looking for a responsible, caring pet sitter who prioritizes communication, Samantha is the one to choose. We will definitely be reaching out again for future trips! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our kitties!”


“Deidre was fantastic. We were very anxious leaving our older chihuahua and standard poodle alone all day since they’ve become accustomed to being no more than 5 feet away from us since working from home the last 6 years. As soon as we met Deidre for the meet and greet we were put at ease. She’s has a calm, grounded presence that not only the dogs but even our scaredy cats responded too. She came by for three visits and sent full updates and many photos. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”



“Ari did a great job with my two goldens. He is very responsible in communicating with me. The dogs took to him immediately! I will definitely ask him to help out again!”


“Christine always does such a great job with our cat! We have booked her several times now and are always happy! We know our baby and our house are in good hands thanks to her drop in visits! Highly recommend!!”


“Hannah has a way with cats and dogs. They were so happy to meet her and I knew I didn't need to worry while I was gone. One of my cats is an older recluse and I was pleased to see in photos that he was relaxed and happy with Hannah. It's a gift to find an "animal" person, and Hannah is one!”


About: With over a decade of experience as a trusted dog sitter, I have had the privilege of caring for countless furry companions, including those belonging to neighbors, friends, and coworkers. From goofy poodles (like my own) to energetic vizsla's, I've had the pleasure of nurturing a diverse range of breeds and personalities. My commitment to building strong relationships with both pets and their owners has led to countless referrals and repeat clients, solidifying my reputation as a go-to sitter in the area. As a super chill yet responsible sitter, I prioritize safety, communication to the owner, and fun-filled adventures for your beloved pet. With me, you can rest assured that your furry family member will receive top-notch care and plenty of love while you're away. I have a work schedule that gives me flexibility Thursdays and Fridays so I’m able to provide services for up to 4 days at a time :) I don’t have a pet friendly rental home so I prefer to care for pets at the clients home. This is what I’ve normally done for friends and family over the years. Plus pets seem more comfy in their own homes!

“Margaret has been wonderful, when we were in a desperate need for a sitter in inclement weather she still managed to make it by so our animals weren't stranded. She was a life saver!”


“Melanie did a great job taking care of my very unfriendly cat Daisy! She sent lots of pictures & updates, which I enjoyed getting. Melanie brought my mail in & took my garbage out to the curb for pick up too. She went above & beyond! I am so happy to have found her to take care of Daisy when I am gone!”


About: Hi! My name is Murron :) I have 10+ years of dog care experience; I grew up with labrador retrievers from all stages of life and I also house sat for local families’ dogs for a few years. The big boy in the pictures is Jasper, he’s 8 years old and my family’s 4th child :) He has epilepsy and had a double knee replacement when he was 4 years old. The little rascal who looks like a mini Jasper is Bodhi, or Bo for short. He’s my parent’s newest addition to the family and he’s such a crazy lil man, yet extremely clever in his own ways :) I’m very knowledgeable about different breeds and temperament. I love high energy pups; my history of care encompasses everything from grooming, walking, basic command training, and exercising. I am a server and bartender, so my schedule is pretty open during the day. Mornings are optimal, but early afternoons are okay as well. As a cat momma of one at the moment, I always have a very clean house that is spacious and has a lot of room for her zoomies and high energy moments. My roommate has a frenchie puppy so I help out with her care a lot as well.

About: * summer is here and I still have a few openings left so book asap! Also... I know it seems too early and sunny to think about the holidays, but I usually book up months in advance so reach out, even if you don't have exact travel plans, but know you'll need pet care. I currently have Labor Day already booked, but mid November - New Years is pretty much open, except one booking in Dec. Check my updated calendar. My dog care experience spans all ages and breeds. I know puppies are more work, but I enjoy working with them on leash and obedience training to maintain good habits while their people are away. I have experience with giving daily medications and have cared for senior dogs, one who needed daily blood sugar testing and insulin shots. I live mobile between pet sitting gigs staying with friends and family from Marysville to Olympia. I started pet sitting for clients when I was house cleaning during the time I was in grad school. Because I was already working in their homes and had biweekly interactions with their pets, it was an easy transition to pet care. It was also during this time that a couple of professors inquired about pet sitting. I was a backup for one of thier regular sitters and the other, I'm still their regular sitter 7+ years later. I care for your pets the same way you would. They like to sleep in the bed with me? Cool. They need extra outside play time or walks to keep their anxiety low because you're gone? Done. I am very intuitive to reading their energy and do everything I can to meet their needs. Do you have some anxiety about being away and want pictures daily? Got it covered. My experience with house cleaning also menas I take care of the spaces I am staying so I am happy to water house plants and take care of gardens if needed.

About: I’ve had animals throughout my life. Currently, I have two kitties. I’ve also had a snake, dogs, and chickens before. I have experience with both large and small dogs. From administering medication to playing fetch, I can help with your pet’s needs! I’m currently working part time in the evenings and I’m looking to fill up my schedule a little bit more. I thought, no better way to spend my time than with some animals! I’m available during the days on weekdays and all day on weekends! I try to approach every situation with pets very calmly, I know every animal is unique and has its own boundaries. I make sure to never make the pet feel threatened or scared in their house or around me in general. Animals are so intuitive and smart, you have to approach them with love and respect!

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! I love pets and if I could I would adopt all the dogs! Bringing animals joy brings me joy! I’m currently working a full time job, I’m off Mondays and Tuesdays. And wanting to walk your dog any day of the week, or stop in visits on my days off! I have one lovely sweet boy dog, black lab! I’m looking forward to walks alone or with my puppy! He’s very friendly and always looking for new friends to play with!

“Isabella goes above and beyond for our kitties-especially the one who refuses to come out and see her. She looks under beds to find her and does everything she can to coax her out. We really appreciate having someone so dependable when we are away.”

“Alison has been my dog sitter for so long I don't know what I would do without her. She cares so much for each pup - and my pups are QUIRKY. She's patient, kind, sweet, and dedicated to being the best substitute dog mom when I can't be there. When my elderly dog needed extra special attention, she took it in stride. I highly recommend Alison to anyone who needs a pet sitter / dog walker / etc. She's the best!”

Zash did a wonderful job. Would absolutely use again. We were out of town for almost two weeks and Zash not only took great care of our cat but made me feel very comfortable with everything else in our house such as our plants. Zash sent great reports every day with pictures of our little guy. Couldn’t be happier with the experience.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our pets received while we were away! Kelli went truly above and beyond during each drop-in visit. Not only were our cat and dog well cared for, but we received regular, thoughtful updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. They followed every instruction perfectly and even took time to give extra love and attention to both our husky and cat. It was clear she genuinely cared, and it showed in how calm and happy our pets were when we returned. If you’re looking for someone responsible, kind, and detail-oriented, this is the sitter to book. We are incredibly grateful and will definitely be booking again!

Caelyn was the perfect pet sitter! She took great care of our fur baby and even fed our fish while we were gone. She was extremely reliable, trustworthy, and took her time to give lots of love and attention to our baby. She sends pictures too! We will definitely book with her again!

Nicole was a huge help for me with checking in on my cat while I was away for a few days on a holiday weekend. She provided updates and pictures during the visits and was really easy to communicate with. Would recommend her and book with her again if I need it. Thank you again!

I can’t say enough great things about Helena. I have worked with her multiple times and would do so again in a heartbeat. Helena can be counted on to what is needed and she is warm and attentive to my cats.The most recent time she cared for my two cats, one of them wasn’t feeling well and it was difficult to be out of town. I am so grateful for Helena because I knew I could fully trust her to pay close attention and be confident about administering medicine. I’ve had cats for the last 25 years and Helena is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. I can fully recommend her.
