Pet Sitting Rainier Beach

“Alex was prompt, communicative and took great care of the babies. We got pictures, a nice thorough update and everyone seemed happy when we got home. They asked great questions upfront to understand how to take the best care of our animals. We look forward to rebooking!”

“Kris has been great with our very excitable and wiggly pitty mix. She follows instructions and our dog has been happy and well cared for when we get home. She's restoring our trust in the system after a few disappointing experiences with past dog sitters. We will be rebooking with Kris as long as she is available and willing to do it!”

About: I have always been an animal lover. That early love for animals led to a 15 year career as a zookeeper taking care of all kinds of animals. I was also a veterinary assistant for 3 years. I have experience with (and am comfortable caring for) birds, reptiles, invertebrates, aquatics, and all sorts of mammals. I am comfortable giving medications and subQ fluids if needed. I'm also a confident trainer and more than happy to work on behaviors with your pets. I'm currently a stay at home mom but my little one has started preschool so I have a fair amount of free time during the days. I'm excellent at following directions and will offer your fur baby the highest level of care in your home and on walks. I am happy to feed, change waters, clean litter boxes, and provide play time.

“We booked with Mik a little last minute a week before our two week international trip when our initial sitter was a no show for a meet and greet, and we are so glad we did! Mik was professional, and excellent communicator, and was very flexible working together with a family member who was also caring for our pets; especially when new challenges came up (our cat was hospitalized the weekend before we left for a urinary blockage). She was awesome at interacting with our pets at the level they were comfortable with, and I could tell that they became buds by the end of our trip! ☺️ We also appreciated all of the pictures and details we were given during her home visits, as well as how Mik put in the effort to provide engagement and stimulation for our pets on a variety of ways. I would definitely recommend booking with her, and we hope to do so again in the future!”

About: Been a pet owner in some form since age 7, worked at a dog day care in Edmonds facility for 5 years and I am the go-to for all my friends and family for pet care when they are away. I'm very good at reading cats and dogs, adore spending time with them and love the exercise that comes with walks. I am currently a student taking night classes, I have open availability all week especially in the daytime but am open to night walks that work with my school schedule! Currently only have class Monday and Wednesday starting at 6pm. I have dog and cat sat in the past for various neighbors and friends, always respectful will spend as little or as much time as the home as you want!

About: I have extensive, hands-on experience across the entire developmental spectrum, from neonate kittens requiring specialized feeding to the patient care required for senior dogs with mobility challenges. I'm comfortable administering oral/topical medications for both cats and dogs. I move at the pet’s pace. Whether a pet is shy, high-energy, or slowing down with age, I tailor my approach to their unique comfort levels and temperament to make sure they stay happy and healthy. As a full-time professional in an office Monday through Thursday (8:00 AM – 5:00 PM), I provide highly structured and reliable care. I treat my sitting schedule with the same level of commitment as my career. Monday – Thursday: Full availability for walks, feeding, and playtime starting at 6:00 PM. Overnights: I am happy to provide overnight care for pets that are comfortable being home independently during a standard workday. Friday – Sunday: * Full-Day Availability: My schedule is completely open for adventure walks, multiple drop-ins, or more specialized care. My approach is centered on maintaining your pet's comfort and routine in the environment they know best—their own home! My evenings and weekends are dedicated to whatever your pet needs most—whether that’s an playtime, a precise medication routine, or just hanging out together on the couch! I'm comfortable administering various medications and am prepared for emergencies with my CPR training. Beyond keeping your pets safe, I treat your home with respect, ensuring it stays tidy, secure, and exactly as you left it.

“McKenzie is an amazing cat sitter! It’s not easy to win over a timid cat, but McKenzie handled it with kindness and care. Her communication was great!”

“Yucong was wonderful with my pigeons and tortoises during my trip, even befriending my blind pigeon. One of my tortoises had a procedure prior to my trip and Yucong sent me updates on Hugo's eating habits and pics of his food bowl when his appetite changed. He also asked questions when the directions I provided weren't clear. My animal's space and my living room were so immaculate when I got home, I was delightfully surprised! I really appreciated his willingness to and diligence in looking after my little friends, especially since tortoises and pigeons are a bit atypical.”

About: I watch two dogs daily. Can give oral medicine and treatments. Small pupplies will be separated from other pets. Pet stairs, multiple eating/drinking areas and time schedules can be managed. I am at stay at home Grandma for the Furry Grandkids. My home is in a dog friendly apartment complex. Front grassy yard and a small beach-front walking trail nearby. The day starts off with a morning bathroom stretch, fresh food and water. Washing eye crusts. Before the heat we head for a walk in the neighborhood or nearby park. Plenty of toys hidden around the house keeps the day moving. I have two neutered and obedient adult dogs that love being around friends. My neighbor has two small dogs also that come over and visit at times too. Multiple rooms to decrease tension throughout the day if needed. Soft background music plays to limit outside noise. I have two loving cats that are friendly with the dogs. Will excuse themselves if needed. Have perch places for them to observe the scene from above.

“Fei is amazing. She did pop in visits for our cats for about a week while we were on vacation. She provided updates and pictures every day and was very communicative throughout the process. One of our cats needs to be given a pill on a daily basis, and Fei was able to take care of that with no issues. Overall, it was a great experience and we will definitely be reaching out to her the next time we leave town.”

About: Like every potential sitter I'm a bit of a crazy animal lover. I love going on walks and runs around my neighborhood and that is only amplified with a dog! My schedule is flexible so i have time on most days for a mid day check in and potentially multiple walks. I grew up with with pets from a Cayman to a Chinchilla and of course dogs, so I like to think I know what I'm doing! I personally think I'm better than most when controlling pups on the leash and take leash and socializing seriously! I'm currently job hunting so I am free to get in lots of pet care. Happy to try new things for your specific needs, spend some quality pet hang time, enjoy long walks, whatever is best for you. I have two cats so will not be caring for pets at my home, but am happy to take dogs on outings, spend time at your home working and playing, and make sure pets have engaging, happy days.

“Meiyee is a wonderful cat sitter! Our kitty isn’t the cuddliest of cats, but she loooved Meiyee. I didn’t worry once while we were away.”

“Lobo was a huge help for last minute care for my dog over the holidays. He was very flexible and communicative! I really appreciated his willingness to take such great care of my dog Moose when I unexpectedly needed a drop in visit! I will definitely call upon him in the future!”

About: My love for dogs started when I got my childhood dog Daisy, the sweetest lhasa apso in the world! Since then, I’ve taken care of many dogs, from my friends 3 year old golden doodle to my cousins dogs ( a mix of small chihuahuas and big german shepard’s). I love walking and playing with dogs and making sure they’re fed, clean, and comfy! I also have experience taking care of elderly dogs with more regimented and programmed care routines, including administering medicine in the form of pills or injections. During the year, I’m a para-professional sub, so I have summers off! I’m very flexible, weekdays and weekends and would love to spend as much time as I can helping folks take care of their pets while they work or go on summer vacation :) I offer attentive hands on care and make sure pets are taken care of while also making sure the home is taken care of! With a dog and a cat at my house, I know what it takes to make sure they’re taken care of while maintaining a clean and comfortable space!

“This is our 3rd booking with Diana. She follows all instructions and sends regular updates on our cats. She's a great, nice person and we're looking forward to working with her again!”

Brian Matthew H.

“Keyara was amazing! Birdie is very picky with humans but immediately warmed up to Keyara. She was great at communicating and coordinating. She cleaned up Birdie’s vomit and took out my trash. When I got back I could tell Birdie had been well taken care of. I will 100% book Keyara again.”

Katy P.

“Alexandria was a great cat sitter while I was away for 5 days. I booked on pretty short notice and she came over the day after I messaged her to meet my cat and get the keys and see where things were. She was very flexible and great at communicating with me with texts and pictures each day while I was gone. I'll definitely rebook with her for future trips!”

About: I would love to have doggy guests at my home by the lake for fun days and lake walks. I have had giant dogs, 160 lbs Newfoundland and a chow Rottweiler mix so I'm comfortable having larger breed doggy guests too if they are well behaved! I also have dog sat a few dogs with my ex boyfriend as he had a few clients, even a dog just had a surgery and with specific guidelines and medication schedule so I feel comfortable with the whole process. Case by case, I will stay and watch your Pups at your home where they are comfortable or have them here at my house, take them for lake strolls and chillax back at my home together. I have no animals currently and I do miss having them around. Hope to meet up for win win situation for all of us! ** note** This summer time has been crazy with inquiries for a while- and with my outdoor adventures, and with me starting a new editorial styling position soon and everything else, I was overwhelmed by requests and doggy guests at times, I apologize if I somehow missed getting back for a time! I love my doggy guests and I will try to reply as I can! Thank you and hope to meet you and your pups soon! Xx yukako. ** About this sitter: I love animals, dogs, cats, especially, but due to my freelance work and potential travels, I can't have one of my own. However, I miss my time with beloved furry friends! I just heard from my friend about Rover and I realize how perfect it is. I house sat a few dogs with my ex boyfriend as he had a few clients- and helped and took pups to lake walks, outdoor hiking, etc. and even cared for a dog just had a surgery and had to give them medications so I feel comfortable and familiar with following your care guide and schedule for your dog and have a happy fun time with them while you are away. I have had a 160 lbs Newfoundland and a mischievous chow mix myself and I do miss the doggy presence in my life. I would love to meet and greet to make sure we are all comfortable and would love to develop a happy dog caring relationship with you and the pup! I would also be comfortable to board/ take care of your dog case by case, at my lake view home- just convenient for lake strolls with your pups! Hope to have a happy furry meeting that works great for both of us! Why I love dog sitting I had my Sven the newfoundland for 9 years and Timber the Chow Rottweiler for 5 years. I raised Sven sice he was a 7 week old black ball of fuzz with giant paws to fully grown giant shedding drooling goofball at 160 LBS! He was such a mellow goofy dog that made our newly built at the time home a barn quickly with amazing amount of fur he shed and of course the beethoven style shaking off the rain and drool as soon as he came inside, but he was really like my furry child to me and He slept with us taking over a substantial area on our king size bed. Timber was a rescue and a smart mischievous one, bossing Sven around then totally kissing my butt..lol Dogs are really like having furry kids.. I do miss having them, but it is hard to have a large dog in a city, especially if you rent and travel for work or family months at a time. I'm a freelace photo stylist so it varies how busy I am depending on time of the year, and I try to visit my family in Tokyo too. Our first guest here was our friend's Basset hound Harley and since then This place has hosted a few doggy guests. I love having dog friends when I can and I'm home. I will understand how your dogs are your furry children and would love to take good care of them and pamper them. About my yard No back yard. Front yard where furry guests can hang out if he or she chooses to be outside with a leash. There is a small hiking trail down the street from my place so most likely I would take them there or the lake which pretty much is in front of the house, go have a nice walk and play then come home to relax inside. My experience administering medication Yes. I watched a dog just had a ligament surgery a few days before with my ex recently and they left a detailed medication schedule. As long as there are clear instructions, information, and emergency contacts, I would feel comfortable. It would be a case by case basis and I would like to meet both the dog and you the owner to see if I feel comfortable with the situation first, of course :) I have been a freelance photo stylist for nearly 20 years- my dates are flexible and I do work from home mostly as of late- furry guests are welcome and much loved company as I enjoy taking them to parks, beaches, trails etc. It is just a very natural fit for my life preferences :)) My place is the bottom floor of a big old farm house converted into triplex- so I have a small front yard I enjoy gardening and easy to take doggy guests out on a leash quickly as needed- there’s a nice trail down the street, lake WA is across the street, and a play field next door. I enjoy taking them to parks, beaches, on my kayak, camping, hiking etc etc. I love nature and animals. That’s truly one of my life long passion and calling! I’m really happy/ get excited to hang out with and take care of all different kinds of animal buddies 💗🤓 I’m a freelance photo stylist with varying schedules week by week- I only book doggy guests when I’m not too busy/ working from home :) My love for animal buds and working with them seem to be just getting stronger and I'm focusing more and more on training adpects after 12 plus years caring for them on and off Rover :))) I have recently gone through a dog training intensive to learn different ways of training pups as needed. I'm in the process of getting a few more certifications, but I do need to listen to my guts too as working with animals are not cookie cutter situations. My basic approach is still intuition based, listening to them, see what they enjoy/ like for the training motivation and have fun with them first and foremost. I'm kind of like a spoiling doting Nana combined with basic obedience training on an as-needed basis. I believe in their individual character’s free will and that's something I care greatly about. I tried to learn speed training methods too, but it's definitely not for me. My strengths are patience, love, care, listening, bonding with each pup first then establishing firm boundaries or desired outcome by reperitions. I have learned all the classic and operant conditioning methods, but I do not have any desire to create robot-like pups who are perfectly obedient to the needs of humans. I care about them first and foremost. I would love to help if I can to aid in shifting problematic behaviors, for the pups and their parents for improved happy day-to-day life :) Please lmk if interested in more details at the meet and greet :)) We can discuss possibilities when we meet in person. I do energy work too- have taken Reiki certification and what have you haha, as I feel their energy patterns and characteristics in person and possible problematic habits that developed unknowingly by their environments too. It's easier to spot that objectively as a third person too :)) My hope is to reduce problems and help aid in a happy less stressful life for the fur buds and their parents. I do think the method of board and train is quite effective- so I can discuss the contents of added possible training as I board the pups for your travel needs etc. Thank you for reading and looking forward to meeting you and your pups! 🧡🐶🐾 Xxoo Yukako. 💖😊 I typically take doggy guests to the nearby trail first thing in the morning when I get up- that’s about 1-2 miles. Then breakfast together, then I do my work etc. while they nap- then in the afternoon/ early eve, I take them to dog parks or fields or another trails etc. Then we have dinner- then we all usually relax :)) I take them out one more time before bed, wipe their paws, take their harnesses off and they sleep where they choose- some next to me, some on the couch, doggy guest beds, or their own bed or some like their crates. I usually book stays when I’m not super busy with work, and doggy guests usually come with me everywhere I go- back seat of my car is set up like a crate- with a divider, blanket, toys and bones- they usually like napping there after running around- and I try to do that so they just want to nap anyways- If I have errands or appos or short shoot day or going to a farm to care for horses, max they will be left would be 3-4 hours if that :)) Most of the time I like to operate like a temporary pack going everywhere together :)
