“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 was incredible!!! I truly couldn’t have asked for a better kitty sitter while I was away! I received detailed updates on how she was doing, which made me so happy and brought me so much peace knowing she was being taken care of so well. 10/10!!!!”


“Vanessa was very caring and patient to our chiweenie who is not easy to trust. She was very communicative with giving updates while we were away. I highly recommend! :)”


“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.”



“Kristina did a great job with my kitties. I appreciate all the wonderful pictures and for tidying and cleaning up the toys, litter, etc. 😊 Kristina is really nice and communicative - will book her again in the future!”


“Hannah did an excellent job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was very friendly and accommodating, and sent photos of my pet during her check-ins. I feel better knowing she was here! Will definitely re-book her for my next trip.”


“Savannah did a stellar job keeping Tater happy, fed, and healthy. Kitty was in great spirits when I got home. Would definitely hire Savannah in the future!”


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.

“Madison was great looking after the puppies, checking on the birds, and watering plants while I was away for a week. She gives detailed updates with photos and descriptions. Our dogs look perky and excited to have her around!”


“Becky always does an amazing job with toby and is extremely patient with him giving the fact he has a lot of energy and for a bigger sized dog she's extremely helpful with him, we recommend her for all your dog sitting needs!”


“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 :)”


“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!”



“Jerrie wad the best. Always attentive to Mike's needs as well as keeping me updated with pics and messages of how things were going. I have recommended her to my friends and family.”


“We loved Helena, she treated our old dog with such great care. We will definitely be booking with her again and so appreciate her taking care of our dog.”


About: I luckily was able to grow up on a farm where I was around horses, sheep, dogs and cats all throughout my childhood and young adulthood. I feel comfortable being able to sense what an animal needs and how to make them feel more as ease. I am a very active person and if you have an active dog, can get them out on adventure hikes. I work part-time and from home a lot of days. I am mostly home on the weekends and can be available with advance notice for any day or holiday. I have an apartment where dogs or cats can roam and are allowed on the bed. As I am home for much of the day they can be comforted that I am there and let out on frequent potty breaks.

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.

“We are super thankful to have Paige pet sit for us. I have an older but energetic pomeranian/poodle mix and two small parrots (cockatiels).

All animals get plenty of exercise, our pup gets lots of outside time, and Paige is super communicative the entire time.”

Her dedication and kindness are unmatched, and I am grateful to have found someone as exceptional as Alison.”
