“Bridget gave excellent care and love to our cat (who had to wear a cone when we were away). Bridget put our minds at ease, gave great updates and answered any questions we had promptly.”


“Xiuyuan never fails me. She is always courteous. Does great with my animals and communicates consistently allowing me to ease any worries I may have. Thank you again. Second time booking. Will be booking again! Take care and thank you.”


“Nicholas took great care of our kitties and sent wonderful updates which were VERY appreciated. It's so nice to come home to happy cats. If you're looking for someone to treat your pets well while you're out of town, you could not ask for a better person than Nicholas.”


“She was able to help me out on short notice when my other plans fell through and was easy to work and communicate with. Also sent me cute pics of my cat :)”


“Savannah was great and my cats were well taken care of. I really appreciate her willingness to learn how to give an insulin injection to my diabetic cat. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Thank you!”


“We were so relaxed on our trip knowing Hannah was taking good care of our cats. My cats miss her already. Thank you so much Hannah, we’re planning our next trip already.”


“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 such an amazing job. I couldn't ask for anyone better to watch our two dogs. He was helpful and thoughtful. He went above and beyond what was needed and my dogs just loved him. We have a blind senior dog and he made sure she was well taken care of. Thank you Ari!”


“This was my first time working with Madison and they were fantastic! They made time to do a meet-and-greet before hand to meet my Kitty and watch me administer medications. They asked great questions and were patient with my instructions. They have now checked on my cat twice and gave meds, they gave thorough notes in the rover card and provided great pictures. My cat was quick to cuddle with them which is always a good sign that they are gentle and kind when giving meds. Overall very happy and will definitely book again.”


“Becky did an outstanding job taking care of my cat Buddy while I was away! She provided daily updates with pictures, and I had peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away. Will definitely be rebooking with Becky in the future!”


“We love Alexa! She’s so on top of it!!”


“Lizzy was great with our dogs and kept us updated the whole trip with photos and messages letting us know how they were doing! I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her in the future”


“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!”


“Jeffrey was fantastic and allowed us to be worry free while traveling overseas. He even helped take care of our cat who unfortunately has cancer and was able to administer oral meds. I went ahead and already booked him again for our next trip. Highly recommend!”



“Jerrie is a reliable sitter and always sends me photos of my dog playing outside. She takes great care of him when I’m away. Plus, she has saved me at the last minute and been available with short notice.”


“Helena responded quickly to my last minute request, scheduled a same day meet and greet, got along well with our cat, and had great communication!”


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: 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!

About: I have taken care of pups of all ages (from puppies to seniors) as well as sizes! I love going on walks short or long, playing, as well as cuddles! I have taken care of pups who require a high level of consistency in their routines and do my best to attune to those needs as reliably as possible, working with and directly communicating with pet parents (as desired). I do dog walking, drop-in visits, as well as overnight stays. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule for day time drop-in visits for play time, feeding, as well as walks of varying lengths and time (rain or shine)! I am incredibly respectful of anyone's home that I enter and leave the space as clean as when I entered. I am really intentional about making sure my time with your animal baby is thoughtful, reliable, caring, and safe. Consistency in routine and safety are two values to animal care that I hold.
