“Tanya was great! She took the directions I left and followed them fully. She was respectful of our house and the very timid kitties. This was very much appreciated! I would certainly rebook with her! A++ experience. Thank you!”

“Heather took great care of our two cats for a week. She was reliable and took pictures to keep us updated. Even our shy cat would come out to greet her. Would recommend her and would book again. Thanks, Heather!”


“Matt stayed with our two cats and administered insulin to our oldest cat Mojo despite some challenges with Mojo being uncooperative. Matt was good at communicating any issues and seeking help. He cared for our house very well and left it clean and in good shape. I would recommend Matt.”
“I came home to a happy cat! Karen was great - She took terrific care of my kitty and house. She was also very responsive, even staying unexpected extra night when my flight was cancelled.”


“Kristin was a wonderful cat sitter who took great care of my two kitties while I was away. She was conscientious and communicative, sending updates and photos keeping me well informed of everything happening back home. Highly recommended!”

About: I am responsive and communicative, which helps alleviate any unnecessary anxieties while I am taking care of your dog. I have experience working with dogs of all ages and of all different sizes. I work hard to address any particular needs that your dog or cat may have. While I work full-time, I have the flexibility of working from home — which means I can easily step away throughout the day to tend to your pet's needs. I'm available for check-ins and care during the early morning, midday, and evening, and if your pet thrives on consistent company, I'm happy to work out of your home so they're never left alone for long. I pride myself on following instructions carefully and will always keep you in the loop if any questions or concerns arise during our time together. Above all, your pet's comfort is my priority — before anything else, I take the time to understand their unique needs, personality, and preferences so I can provide the best care possible. Every pet is different, and I'm happy to adapt my approach accordingly. Got an energetic pup who lives for long walks and belly rubs? I'm all in. Have a shy or sensitive pet who needs a calm, quiet environment to feel safe? I'll match their energy and give them the gentle, patient care they need to feel at ease.
“James is such an amazing cat sitter and cat whisperer! He enjoys hanging with each cat, brushing them, petting them and playing with them. He is reliable and consistent. It was a comfort being away, knowing our kitties were in such good hands.”

About: I have always loved and lived with pets. Growing up we had multiple cats and a dog or two at any given time. In high school, I convinced my mom to foster a litter of kittens for our local humane society and we ended up caring for litters and kittens and puppies as well as seniors and sickly dogs for years to come. Right out of college I adopted my cat, and she has been my constant companion ever since. A decade later I rescued a very reactive dog and worked for 5 years on his reactivity. We made great improvements together! If you need someone to walk your reactive dog during the day, I’m your gal! I’d also love to care for your chill, non-reactive dog when you go out of town. I have a very active toddler, so I can only board dogs who are reliably safe around small children. I am available Monday-Thursday from 9-3 for drop ins and dog walks, with some flexible availability on the weekends too. Available for boarding as well this winter I have a large fenced portion of my back yard, as well as easy access to the bike path. We have some baby gates in our house, and more in storage, if that makes sense to make your pets comfortable.
“Sarah was super reliable and responsive, and genuinely kind and caring toward our kitties. She was great about communicating anytime something wasn't clear. We were gone for about 10 days and she sent a full update with photos every day, and the cats looked happy and in good hands. We would work with Sarah again anytime!”

About: I’ve worked with animals for 10 years, starting as a dog groomer and day-care worker! I have done house and animal care for the last five years as a way to hang out with pets while I can’t have my dog with me. I am happy with all breeds and ages of animals, and love to be active and outside so if your dog loves a good walk I will be their friend! I’m currently working part time so I have lots of flexibility. I work in the evenings Thursday-Sunday 4-7.30pm. I am a full time graduate student at Smith College so I am now on break! I am happy to follow your guidelines based on what your pet and home needs are. I can’t accept animals at my apartment. Happy to communicate with you about what you are looking for!
“Bena was great! We got consistent updates about our cats and, despite there being 5 of them, they each got the love and care that they needed while we were away. There were always photo updates with visits which we really appreciate as well.”

“Michelle was great! We have two anxious kitties so we were nervous about finding someone to take care of them, but Michelle did great. She was very reliable and communicative. She gave us updates about the kitties and played with them. When we got back they seemed very relaxed and were not anxious because we were gone the way we thought they may be, this tells me she gave them a good amount of love and care! ☺️ Definitely recommend her if you have sensitive pets, she’s very caring!”

“Heather is an incredible cat sitter! She loved our kitties, and they loved her! The pictures and report cards we received were exactly what we needed since we missed Mercury and Lynx so much while we were away for two weeks. Heather is caring, loves playing with the cats, is experienced, and knowledgable. She's also very communicative and knew exactly what we needed as pet parents leaving their cats for the first vacation since we adopted them. We would absolutely hire Heather again and would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Sharene is wonderful and patient with my shy cats. She understands how to give them space so they are comfortable while also trying to get them to engage and come out of their shells, and is making progress! She sends lovely detailed updates and lots of cute photos. You can tell she truly cares about the pets in her charge. Her visits are great for both my piece of mind and their confidence and socialization. I'm so happy they're learning to trust another person and making a new friend.”

“Annika was terrific. It was our first time having someone perform at home drop-ins versus boarding and Annika's positive reviews were backed by our experience. We will absolutely re-book with Annika way ahead of our next trip!”

About: Not available in the Seattle area after Jan 26. I have been caring for large dogs as part of my family since I was a child. Now, I have multiple clients for whom I provide dog-sitting services. I have experience looking after a wide range of dogs, from big to small and of all ages. When I was younger, I volunteered at Family Dog Rescue in San Francisco. More recently, I spent some time at Emerald City Pet Rescue, where I cared for small dogs and cats. Currently, I am responsible for the week-long care of a senior Labrador (for the past 4 years), and I help another household with hunting dog mixed breeds. I am also capable of handling both low-energy and high-energy dogs. I am currently on winter break until late January and have high availability. I am also willing to take care of people's pets when I am back home for other breaks and near my university (Amherst, MA) I always make sure to give pets their own time to adjust to me and their environment. I always want them to feel comfortable and safe, especially in their own home. If any kinds of issues come up, I will always make sure to notify the owner.

Kristin was great with my reactive dog and two cats! She was patient and attentive to their specific needs and personalities. And gained my dogs trust quickly during the meet and greet. She was patient with my more skittish cat and made sure she ate and gave detailed updates. Highly reccomend!

Preston just took care of my two elderly cats for the first time this past weekend, and he was wonderful all around. I am always a bit nervous about leaving them because of their ages, but I honestly worried less because I knew he would take good care of them. At the meet and greet, he asked good questions, took notes and photos, and clearly showed that he loved cats. While I was away, he sent multiple photos and videos at each visit as well as sending notes. He clearly loves cats and knows how to take care of them. I wouldn't hesitate to book him again.
