“Meadow did a phenomenal job taking care of my two cats. One of the cats is very slow to warm to people, yet she quickly warmed to Meadow. Meadow was considerate of timing needs and was thoughtful in her approach. I'll gladly recommend Meadow to take care of your furbabies!”
“Gabriel was great with my cat! He also had to unexpectedly deal with my building’s office because there was an issue with the key and he was very communicative and patient.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I used to have a Labrador who was like a best friend to me, and now I help take care of my brother’s two cats. I’ve been volunteering at CARES Burien as a dog walker for last 2 months, which has been such a rewarding experience. I get to spend time with all kinds of dogs—big, small, shy, playful—and I really enjoy getting to know their different personalities. What makes me different is how much I truly care. I’m not just here for a walk—I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away. I'm working part-time now, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting on Tuesdays through Thursdays from 11 AM to 8 PM, and also on Sundays. Every pet is different, and I always try to match their vibe. If they’re playful and full of energy, we’ll get moving. If they’re older or just more chill, I’ll be calm and gentle. I really care about making pets feel safe, loved, and not alone while you’re away
About: I love my own dogs and have room in my heart for your dog too. I love running the neighborhood and the CRT and am willing to do whatever works best for your pup. I love early morning especially when it’s warm out. During the school year I can walk or run your pup before and or after school. I don’t offer the service of pet sitting or taking pets into my own home for care. But I am perfectly happy coming by to pick up your dog for a nice long walk or run and run after the run or walk I’ll make sure your dog is safely back in his home or yard and has water and everything it needs for the day.
“Virginia did an EXCELLENT job caring for.our two female cats. One of them, Sienna, was hard to "befriend", but Virginia was very persistent and got her out of hiding on her 2nd day of caring for them. We felt very at ease knowing that our two cats are getting the best care while we're gone and that they trusted her and felt very comfortable with her. We appreciate her photos and her anecdotes about her drop-in time with them. We will recommend, Virginia anytime and would book her again the next time Missy and Sienna need her!”
About: Hello! I was zookeeper of reptiles and amphibians at a zoo for almost 6 years and now work as a veterinary assistant at a veterinary clinic here in Seattle. I have a cat, a dog, and a snake of my own and I love them dearly. I am experienced in animal care of many species. I have cared for dogs, cats, snakes, birds, and more. As a veterinary assistant, I am comfortable giving meds and managing old, frail, or special needs animals. I’d also love to hang out with your new kittens and puppies of course. Don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you have! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry (or scaly or feathered) friends!! My schedule is in flux at the moment. Please let me know when you need pet sitting and hopefully I can make it work. My schedule will be more solid soon when I start the new job. I can’t take pets into my home as my dog is sensitive to other new dogs or cats. I am happy to come to your place of residence to care for your pets and walk them around your neighborhood. I can also use my car to bring them to parks, trails, etc if you feel comfortable with me doing so.
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs for the past 3 years. I have experience with small and medium sized dogs. Over the 4th of July weekend, I was catsitting 2 Bengal cats who I love. I'm affectionate and detail oriented and I will make your pet feel like you never left! I'm currently a student so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I go to school Monday thru Friday so if you wanted to take a weekend trip, I got you covered easily! I am detail oriented so I follow the instructions I am given. If not, then I feed and water twice a day and bathroom breaks every day and night. Always respectful of the home and the pets and I clean up after them if they vomit or whatever happens. :)
About: What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine care for pets and homes. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Communication is key, so I provide regular updates with photos and messages for peace of mind. Whether it’s caring for pets, keeping a home secure, or handling special requests, I bring a trustworthy and professional approach to every booking. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life, and I bring that same dedication to every pet I look after. I start my mornings making sure pets are fed, walked, and cared for before heading to work in downtown Seattle (8 AM - 5 PM). After work, I go straight home to provide evening walks, meals, and attention. Since I have a car, I can easily travel to clients’ homes when needed. On weekends, I’m usually free all day, making me available for more flexible pet care. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine, ensuring they feel secure in their familiar environment. I respect the owner’s guidelines, keep the home tidy, and provide regular updates for peace of mind. My experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful kittens to senior pets needing extra attention, allows me to adapt to each animal’s unique needs. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

“Elke was absolutely wonderful! Super flexible with times and really communicative. She was really great when my pup had bandages and a cone. Excellent service and will look forward to having her help out with my animals in the future.”
“Fei was wonderful with our two kitties - and very communicative while we were away. I was so happy that she came over to meet us and the cats in person before our trip, so that she would get as much information as possible to best care for them. She even got them engaged with their cat wheel - using dried shrimp bribery! I also appreciated that she was willing to switch out the hummingbird feeders to keep my feathered friends well fed while I was gone. We will certainly request her services again!”
“Brenna was amazing with our cat. She listened to all of our concerns about our older cat's health and gave me exactly the updates I needed. My cat got comfortable with her real quick which was awesome.”
“Sierra did a great job watching our two cats. They warmed up to her remarkably fast and she was quick to reply to all questions while we were out of town. We'll definitely be using her again.”
“Yukako was the best with our two kitties. They took to her so quickly! She was very easy to work with and communicated clearly and often, with messages and pictures. I felt comfortable and at ease with our cats being watched by her. Thank you so much, Yukako!”
About: I spent 1 year taking care of my friends dog who was stuck overseas during covid. I fell in love and miss having time with dogs! I can't have one of my own at this time so can I look after yours? Over the summer I am very flexible and work from home I can easily take time to go for walks have some playtime or whatever might be needed. I can follow any directions that you leave for your furry friend and I am happy to love on them while you are away from them.

Before agreeing to any drop in visits we’ll chat about your pets schedule, favorite toys, leashes or off leashes preferences, and any allergies.
“Coburn was referred to us by another sitter we’ve used previously; we’re so glad to have been introduced! Coburn did a few days of drop-ins for our cat and dog while we were out of town. He provided wonderful care to them (including eye drops for our blind dog) and they warmed up super quickly to him! We could see from the photos how much they were enjoying hanging out with Coburn. Coburn also treated our home respectfully and was a great communicator (and photographer!) throughout and around our trip. We had peace of mind knowing that he was looking after our pets and home while we were away. We look forward to booking with Coburn again!”

Manny R.
“Manny was great with my 2 terriers! He watched them last minute when I needed to travel for a family emergency. He took such great care of my babies and I never felt like I needed to worry. He kept them on their schedule which I thought might be asking a lot since it was last minute but he took care of them like I asked. They might like him more than me because they missed him when I got home. Manny provided updates and pictures to show them out having fun. I appreciated him being so good with them and giving me one less thing to worry about.”

He stayed at our home and treated our home as his own. He cleaned up and changed the sheets beforewe git home. Koka had an accident the 1st day after we left and he took the liberty to give her a bath and cleaned up after her! We didn't even know til we got back!! He is reliable and loving!! We will definitely use him again!”

Rachel D.
“Rachel is a caring, loving, and warm person, both to humans as well as to dogs. Rachel and her family provided my dog Corduroy's second home from when she was a young puppy through her early adult years. She pet sat Corduroy many times (and over long periods of time, including an almost year-long (!) period when I was stuck in another country), and I could always count on her to be a fully trustworthy dog auntie. I knew Corduroy would always feel at home and safe, that Rachel would keep her needs in mind, and that she would be looked after and treated well.”
Alesha B.
“Alesha has been such a great dog walker for us in the last 6 months. She is super prompt and communicative and has dealt with our constantly shifting schedule without complaints. She seems to take the dogs on new routes all of the time and sends us photos of their latest adventures in real time! There have been so many times when I have had to adjust the plan last minute and she has been so accommodating which I really appreciate. Also, our dogs seem to really love her! She always puts their coats on when it's cold and gives them treats when they get back home. I would highly recommend Alesha to anyone looking for a caring, compassionate, and responsible dog walker or sitter!”

Jessica is a great pet sitter! I've had the same cat sitter for years, but she was unavailable. Stressful trying to determine who to trust w/my cat who has some anxiety. Jessica was amazing from the beginning at our meet and greet. She provided amazing details and photos during her visits and any of my initial fears quickly subsided. She understands the importance of her role and is incredibly kind and professional. Wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!
What a wonderful person mckinsey is, very reliable professional and does a good job. She reliable, which is a top notch quality that doesn't get mentioned enough. I feel safe, leaving her with the good care of my dog Tippi. She's respectful of property. Does the best reviews of Tippi walks. I think I mentioned this before, but she takes excellent pictures of tippi, professional grade.
