“Elyla was absolutely amazing. My grandma watched my very high energy Husky, Kira, over the Christmas break. My grandma has a bad back so I asked Elyla to come walk her once a day. When my grandma realized how energetic Kira was, she asked Elyla if she could come twice daily. Elyla agreed and quickly became Kira's favorite person. Elyla even bought Kira a Christmas present (a sweet little monkey toy and dog treats)! That alone would have been more than enough, but when Kira escaped from my grandmas house, Elyla actually drove from her house to help my grandma find her. She is the best dog buddy I could have hoped for and clearly has a heart of gold. Thanks so much Elyla!”
“Sarah is the best! She’s attentive, kind and best of all makes sure my pup, Karl, is engaged and taken care of. Her photos, updates and call-outs on anything to be aware of are so helpful.”
“Natalie was wonderful with Rusty. She ended up having to walk him on the hottest day of the year, and she took great care to make sure his paws were ok, he got plenty of cool-downs in the shade, and was well hydrated with fan on him when she put him back in his crate afterwards. She understands reactive dogs and is well able to handle them. She sent adorable photos, communicated well, and Rusty loved her. Will definitely book again!”
“Roman was very diligent and caring in walking and feeding my pup, who responded with affection and happiness. Additionally, Roman is a very nice person and I enjoyed talking with him.”
“Margaret has improved Izzie’s quality of life while guiding and training her. I appreciate Margaret’s communication with texts alerting me to arrival. Margaret is our ideal dog walking partner!”
“We are so lucky to have found Biancana on Rover! She was amazing and so sweet with our Clancy. She texted us upon her arrival and departure and texted pictures during their outdoor walk adventure. She is sweet, caring and very attentative to our needs/desires for our dog. We will most surely be using her again and recommend her as an A++++ for your needs! We simply can’t thank you enough, Biancana! ~ Clancy, Anna and Grant”
“Olivia is always on-time, very communicative and prompt when doing so, and very professional & friendly! It’s clear that Olivia cares deeply about pets and has their best interest in mind and it’s been shown through patience with my dog, putting thought into the walk route & approach depending on weather and my dog’s mood, and filling up the water dish when it was low.”
“This was our first booking with Jessica. She came over beforehand to meet and get familiar with the our dog. On the day of the walk she gave lots of details on how it went and included some cute photos. I look forward to booking her for future walks!”
“Aly is always great. She enjoys taking care of dogs and she is trustworthy! I will continue to reach out to her when I need support taking care of my dog Trooper!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since high school for my family and friends. The main person I help is my auntie. I have taken care of her cats since middle school when she is out of town. I would feed them, clean their litter boxes, love on them, and give them attention. My schedule is pretty opened. If you need me to stay with your pets while you are away or on vacation I can do that. How I care for the pets in my home, and clients homes, I give them lots of love, cuddles, pets, attention, give them as many walks as they need. Feed them at their schedule feeding times. I am a very loving and passionate person when it comes to animals. When I am around pets I am very respectful, I ask the owners if I can pet them, then i ask the pets by letting them smell me first. I am willing to feed them, give them love, bathe them, take them out for walks, and so much more. I can stay at your home with them, and/or they can stay at my home
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life. I've been around many different dogs with various sizes, age, and energy levels. I also have experience cat sitting as well! I'm currently in-between jobs so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am available Monday through Friday all day. Small side yard access for bathroom breaks. Great access to the Burke and other various parks in the Wallingford region to take your pet out for walks and play!
“I was nervous to return to the office after a year working from home with my dog every day, but Caitlin has made the transition so easy! Caitlin awesome, dependable, communicative, and I love getting her updates about walks with my pup!”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and raised numerous kittens. I have taken care of all of my friend’s dogs, from walking, playing, staying with them overnight. I have lots of experience with dogs with anxiety and special care needs. I have lots of experience with caring for cats & dogs with a variety of needs; medications, litter box training, social issues, and more. I’m a geriatric nurse and my friends and family always rely on me to care for their pets. I understand each animal’s unique need and know that each cat and dog needs different love and attention! I’m currently working as a geriatric nurse and have availability in the afternoon (some early mornings) and evenings, as well as most weekends. I have two cats myself and always am taking care of friends dogs. Being a cat owner myself, I know that cats can have a hard time with change and strangers. I will enter your home with respect for you and your pet. I am a responsible pet owner and will always have the safety of your pet in mind.
About: I like to say I grew up in a zoo––growing up, I had dogs, cats, parakeets, reptiles, rodents, and fish, all of which were my responsibility to take care of. I loved and took care of my pets, from as small as an 8-week-old kitten to as big as a fully grown Great Dane! I have plenty of experience in proper caretaking of all kinds and all ages of animals, too. I am also able to give medication of all kinds. I am currently a second-year graduate student at UW and only have one class per day Monday-Thursday. This gives me plenty of time to be there for your furry family members during the week and on the weekend! When able, I always prefer to care for pets at your home because it is also their home! It is the environment where they feel most comfortable and will experience the least amount of stress interacting with anyone else besides you. If they can remain in your home while you are gone with someone taking care of them, they will experience so much less stress with the consistency of their home environment than they would going to a boarding kennel or a strange new house.

I always make it a priority to keep your dog’s routine as normal as possible, so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy until you’re back. Lots of snuggles, playtime, and care guaranteed! I’m currently on summer break, which means I’m available throughout the day! I’m free most afternoons and evenings, and I’m also happy to care for your pets all day or overnight on weekends. My boyfriend and I and are all animal lovers and would love for your pup to stay with us! I live in a cozy apartment that can accommodate all types and sizes of dogs and cats! We live on the first floor and can easily go outside! Our apartment is located is located in near parks, trails, and Lake Union so walks will definitely be taken!
