“Nikki was excellent and obviously took great care of Paz. My favorite part was the picture of Paz with a great big smile from her time with Nikki.”


“I met Jasmine the day before our scheduled sitting appointment. She was very kind to meet the fur children before the actual day and all kids loved her. She did exactly as expected and treated the fur babies so well playing in the back yard with toys and giving loves inside the house during her visit. I would definitely recommend her for pet sitting and will use her again. I have two aussies with lots of energy and loves to give.”

She’s everything you’d hope a pet sitter would be: responsible, warm, attentive, on top of things. Maggie really went above and beyond. I’m definitely going to book with her again in the future!”

“Chantal was a great pet sitter for our senior cat, Scour. She went above and beyond to help care for her while we were out of town. Would definitely book with her again!”


“Coburn was fantastic! We really appreciated his prompt response to our last-minute request. He took really great care of our two cats and I was able to relax better on our vacation knowing they were in great hands. I appreciated Coburn’s attention to detail with our care instructions and his overall positive attitude. Would 100% books again and we highly recommend Coburn to all pet parents.”


About: I have been taking care of and living with dogs and cats of every kind since I was 11 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets for many years. I believe every animal has a right to a caring and healthy environment where they can thrive and live their best life no matter what age, size or special needs they may have. I have taken puppy training course and will be happy to help teach your puppy manners. Also, I have experience giving senior pets medications and special care in their older years. I can administer first aid in every minor or major situation as needed. I work full time as an accountant but Thursday and Fridays work from home and I am available to care for your fur-baby those days through the weekend. I am very hands on and will show your pet a great deal of physical and emotional love. I have a fully fenced and large back yard for running around, with two friendly pups of my own to play with your baby. I have experience crating dogs and cats as well as letting house broken pets discover and roam around my pet safe home.


“Elke did an excellent job caring for my two old and sick kitties. She was kind and patient at coming up with multiple ways to pill my old male kitty who is new to his meds. I highly recommend Elke for your pets, she is top notch.”

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.

About: To say my world has revolved around animals, particularly dogs, would nearly be an understatement. My love and passion in animal husbandry started incredibly young as I was raised in a family full of dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles and birds. Between the ages 2 to 12 my passion and focused lied within veterinary care. Though, soon after my family began working with a reactive boxer my focus instantly pivoted towards canine behavior, behavioral modification, and training. I was driven to seeking out as much education as early on as I could and began landing internships for various animal rescues, dog trainers, and equine facilitated treatment centers throughout my high school career. Gaining this hands-on experience right off the bat allowed me to immediately move my education to the next level and soon after high school I was accepted into the University of Washingtons Applied Animal Behavior program graduating in 2022. Since then, I have worked for multiple training facilities and have been training dogs privately through my own business Tail Wagging Warriors, where I specialize in puppy raising, behavior modification, and service dogs. In addition to my training services for my clients I have been a reliable dog walker and pet sitter - now I am looking to expand my clientele outside of those who already train with me. Some special skills to note: - Senior and puppy care - More complicated behavioral cases (leash reactivity, resource guarding, aggression cases within reason, hyperactivity, particularly anxious and nervous dogs, etc.) - Dogs with special health complications needing particular care - Dogs working on manners and training I am currently taking between 1 to 4 training clients a day Fridays being the busiest day having reoccurring sessions from 10:00 to 3:00 Most other days are currently booking 1 or 2 sessions around 12:00 the rest of my day remaining free. Working walks and drop ins to my schedule are a breeze! I am incredibly detail oriented and respectful of each and every home I enter with my drop in visits. I leave the home the way it was when I arrived and will clean up any messes the pets may leave behind with provided cleaning materials.


“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.”


“Caitlyn was great! Kitty is typically shy and she warmed up to Caitlyn right away. She made sure Kitty was happy and safe while we were gone, and helped clean up a little hairball incident. Will be booking again!”


About: Hi! My name is Legend. My girlfriend Bayley and I live in a house we own with a yard and another dog named Indie who is the sweetest girl!

9. 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!”

13. Cari G.
“Cari is excellent with dogs. She took care of my three pups 30lbs (Shiba inu, 7months) 50lbs (beagle/Pitt, 13yrs old) and 120lbs (cane corso, 5yrs old), and was very adaptable Yo their needs in energy, attention, and routine. She has an amazing patience and yet sturdiness to tell of my corso when he becomes bullyish. I had witnessed her deescalate a situation with a Rottweiler (about 2 years old) that was getting a bit too excited and rough with another dog, and a reactive situation was in development, and she quickly identified it, cornered the Rotweiler and separated him to calm down while the other dogs could continue to play without feeling threatened. To me dog sitters that understand that the first priority of their work is to keep pups safe and recognize that any little thing can be a trigger and are vigilant while allowing dogs enough freedom to roam and be dogs, is top quality. I highly recommend her as a dog sitter.”

15. Krystal K.
“Krystal has been watching my dog for years! Communicating with her is easy and quick. She responds promptly to all of my emails, texts and/or phone calls. She is very accommodating, even with last minute requests. Her house has a yard where my dog loves to play, and her dog Shiloh is the sweetest, most laid back companion. My dog is a snuggler and I can tell that he gets lots of love and attention when he is there, because he is always happy and exhausted when I pick him up. I always feel like when I go out of town, my dog is secretly psyched because he has such a good time at Krystal's. Thanks, Krystal! You're the best!”


16. Pedro A.
“Pedro is great with pets! I don’t have pets myself but I’ve seen him with his own pets, friends pets and other pets he’s watched. He is super caring and loving. He gives them all the love they need 😊 your pets would be in great hands with him.”


17. Jordan D.
“Jordan is incredibly reliable, punctual and trustworthy. She consistently goes above and beyond, ensuring that your dog receives the best care whether it’s daily walks, feeding, training, or administering medication she handled everything with the utmost professionalism and compassion. Jordan is committed to maintaining your dogs routine. She is attentive to the needs of your dog and provides regular updates along with adorable photos which always gives you peace of mind while you’re away. I highly recommend Jordan to anyone seeking a responsible and caring dog sitter. She has truly become an invaluable part of our lives and so grateful for the love and care she provides for our dogs.”
