Pet Sitting Portage Bay

“My cat isn’t the friendliest, but Olena managed her wonderfully! She did an amazing job with my grumpy girl! She is reliable and very professional. I’ll definitely book her again.”

“Carly was amazing! Very flexible as I had to schedule the visits last minute. Excellent communication and she took lots of photos of my two boys! My one cat is very skittish and tends to hide around new people but he came out for her and let her give him pets! They clearly liked and trusted her. Very grateful to know they were taken such good care of while I was away. Will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Erin was very communicative and competent. Kitty opened up to her very quickly. I felt very comfortable leaving Kitty in Erin’s care and will definitely book again.”

“Angela is *the best* cat sitter! My senior cat has some anxiety issues that really present when he’s left alone, but I’m at ease knowing he’s in the care of Angela. She goes above and beyond to make my cat comfortable, and is incredibly intuitive to his needs. Expect customized care from Angela, which for my cat looked like open window time to enjoy fresh air, surprise toys to keep him stimulated, and even moving his cat tree for ample sun time. It’s clear Angela truly loves cats and I couldn’t be happier with her cat sitting services! ❤️”

“Maria went above and beyond for my 2 rabbits. I didn't have to worry about them while I was away because Maria followed all of my care instructions and sent updates and photos every day. Thank you!”

About: I learned how to care for dogs when I found my soul pup as a 19 year old college sophomore. I researched high and low, consulted with any and every dog expert I could get ahold of, and have since tried every single day to give my baby the best life he deserves. That’s the level of passion and care I bring to pet sitting. I truly understand how important our pets are, from setting routines with them to managing their healthcare, to training and (they might say most importantly) playtime. 😉 When it comes to dog walking, sitting, training, or just a midday check in & fetch, I’d love to help you live your life comfortably knowing your pet is in the best hands. I currently work part-time as a barista and part-time as a remote social media assistant so my schedule is incredibly flexible. This gives me ample time to support you and your pet’s schedule, providing care when you need it! I live in a 2 bedroom apartment in a very walkable neighborhood with multiple parks nearby. My dog is incredibly friendly (we used to live with two other dogs) and he loves to have play dates or sleepovers with fellow furry friends. If your pup ever needs a friend, he’s here :) If you’d like in-home care for your pet, I’m happy to do so as well! In these cases, my partner takes care of our dog at our home and does not need to come along.

“Roman is the BEST! We know we can rely on Roman to help us out on days we need it to take great care of Boyd. Roman does a great job accommodating all of Boyds quirks and makes sure he gets what he needs during a drop in. Plus we get the best pictures at the end! Thank you for being so reliable, Roman!”

About: I grew up with a cat and labrador retriever in the house and took responsibility for their care. I have two cats that I love very much :) I have experience in a veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant and have been around a wide range of animals. I have experience with daily care, cleaning, playing, walking, and keeping an eye on anything amiss. I’m currently working part-time, so I have availability majority of the time. My cats are independent so I am able to house sit as well as leave for extended periods of time to care for other animals. I am an active person and am outside very often. I can easily take your dog on walks, as I live near a lot of walking trails. I have a car which provides me reliable transportation. I care most about animals well-being and safety and will communicate as often as possible.

“Elizabeth was fantastic—she communicated regularly and sent daily photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I truly felt comfortable leaving my pets in her care. Highly dependable and caring!”

About: I've grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life and have spent years caring for the pets of friends and family — so I bring genuine, hands-on experience to every booking, not just enthusiasm. I'm equally at home with a slow, sniff-heavy stroll with a senior dog as I am with an energetic pup who needs a real workout along the Burke-Gilman. I love cats and miss having one so would love to care for yours meantime. I'm comfortable administering medications and managing special needs, and I take the time to learn each animal's individual routine, quirks, and preferences before we ever head out the door. You'll get photo updates, honest communication, and a caretaker who is calm when it counts, structured when your pet needs it, and genuinely flexible around your schedule. Your pet is in good hands — and you'll know it. My work-from-home schedule gives me genuine flexibility that most walkers can't offer — I'm available most weekdays after 10am and can often accommodate same-week requests. Midday walks are my sweet spot, but I'm equally happy doing weekend adventures or overnight house sitting when you're out of town. If your pup needs an extra-long outing or your cat just wants some unhurried company, I have the time to give it. I can't host pets at my place, but honestly? That just means I show up to yours fully present and unhurried. I've been the trusted go-to for friends' and family's pets for decades — it's just always been my thing. Your pet's safety and comfort is my first priority on every single outing. I keep dogs securely leashed at all times, stay off high-traffic streets, and always match the route and pace to your pet's energy level and physical needs. I'm calm under pressure, attentive to body language, and know when a dog needs to slow down, take a break, or just sit and watch the ducks on Portage Bay for a minute. Cats get genuine attention, not a quick scoop-and-dash. Your home is treated with total respect and you'll always get a real update — photos, notes, the good stuff.

“Amy is the best! She has taken care of my two cats on multiple occasions now, for both short and long trips and she is great! She takes wonderful care of the kitties and sends updates and photos each day letting me know how things are going. Both cats adore her and are always relaxed and happy when we return. Highest recommendation!”

“Hannah was very responsive, punctual, and took great care of our cats for the week. The house and the cats were in great shape when we got back.”

About: Grew up with a wild at heart Goldendoodle, so high energy is my comfort zone! I've spent 4 years pet sitting everything from five cats at once to a sweet senior pup and even a dog with epilepsy. I’m all about keeping pets happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently working part-time as a Barista, so I have lots of time to give your fur babies love Availability: - Mondays before 2pm - Wednesdays after 4pm - Friday through Sunday all day! I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels secure, stress-free, and has fun!

“Madison originally came into our lives as a dog trainer, but she’s so wonderful with animals that she now cares for all three of our pets. This was our first weekend away with our two kittens at home, and I couldn’t have felt more at ease. She did twice-daily drop-ins and sent updates and photos throughout — they were clearly getting plenty of playtime and snuggles. We came home to two very happy, well-loved cats. Her communication is exceptional and her genuine care for animals really shows. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

Alisha K.

“Braxton was professional, attentive, communicative and flexible when it came time for my dog to be walked and fed while I was away from home. He provided serveral photo and updates during his visits with my 4 ½ year old hound mix warning to him on the first visit. I would highly recommend him and would definitely book him again! Thanks Braxton!”

Cole F.

“Sabrina and Daniel were absolutely fantastic and if you don't wish to read a long review, I'll just say right off the bat that they were extremely communicative, thorough, they took great care of our three cats, and we will absolutely be requesting their services again in the future. They sent us a bunch of pictures of each cat over the course of a week and they even helped out with a few extraneous asks that my wife and I had while we were away. We will absolutely use them again in the future as long as they are ok with seeing our three introverted (lol) cats again! They went above and beyond what we had expected and we felt totally comfortable having them in our home while we were away. We loved that they work as a team! 100% animal lovers through and through and my wife and I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you Sabrina and Daniel!”

About: I've been watching friends and neighbors pets casually for the past 5 years or so. This includes dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish. I have the most experience with cats--feeding them medicine, special foods, scooping liter boxes of all shapes and sizes, and dialing in on their favorite toys. I have experience caring for dogs (walks, feeding, belly rubs, poop wrangling) but if the dog is high stress or has behavioral issues it would be best to go with a more experienced dog person--want to be transparent about that, it's best for everyone. I have a flexible 9-5 work schedule and can pop in to visit pets in the Eastlake neighborhood Tuesday-Fridays. My weekends are also quite flexible to visit pets or stay overnight with pets in North Capitol Hill. I closely follow the rules and guidelines set up by the pet owners when I care for an animal. The safety and comfort of the pet is my utmost concern. I love animals and I want them to feel that they are in the care of a trustworthy person while their people are away. I am happy to communicate with pet owners and much as needed.

“Margaret is fantastic. I had a week long trip in Mexico and she made sure my cat was taken care of. Margaret is prompt, followed instructions and is super friendly. It was fun to see the pictures over the week as my cat warmed up to her. Margaret is patient and didn’t force connection with my cat, which is important to me. Her attention to detail is great. Extremely reliable, personable and kind. I will absolutely book her again! Thanks so much Margaret. You helped make my vacation stress free and gave me peace of mind knowing my baby was in good hands ? Thank you.”

“Her care of our babies is so appreciated. She is detailed, loving and fun! One of my dogs is a senior with medical needs that require daily medication. She ensures medication is administered following all instructions and asks questions should there be any. We do not worry when she’s caring for our girls!”

Renee H.

“Phoebe is just amazing! She is very communicative and details oriented. She followed the instructions and was able to update me about Mickey everyday. I was not worried about Mickey when out of the country. Definitely recommended Pheobe!!”
