Pet Sitting Rainier Beach

About: Hello! My speciality is taking your dog(s) for a good run/jog, and returning them happy and hungry, ready to conk out! At a pace tailored to their needs/abilities, I can handle any age/size and any energy level! I find that most dogs respond well to an energetic/playful pace, with minimal leash pressure/guidance, they want to GO. I always stay aware of where their attention is at, if they need a bathroom/scent marking break or a chance to investigate a good smell, or a panting breather (or if I do), I will of course cater to that! I Prefer 60 min sessions, 2.5-5 mile jogs depending on the dog's capability and neighborhood terrain. Comfortable with 1-3 dogs per run, it's easier if they are of similar pace, but I'm okay managing being pulled by the leader, don't worry, it won't transfer to dragging the slowpoke! 11 Years of experience, just new to this platform, curious how much it will help grow my customer base, what with a more open schedule this fall/winter. I know there are some Huskys, some Sheepherders,Mountain dogs and some Malinois that are dying to join me! I find these guys endurance carries further than the pure speed of the sprinter dogs, but of course all are welcome in hand! Prices are set with the jogging+ pace in mind, if just looking for a true Walking pace(usually for the elderly canines), I'm open to offering a lower walking rate. My schedule is fairly open at the current point in time, only a few credits worth of classes and recreational sports, otherwise if within a reasonable distance I should be available most days/evenings I do not offer boarding, my lease is a no pet lease, but in terms of dropping in to a client's home, I have pride in upkeeping the utmost integrity, and basically act as if under constant surveilance at all times, mainly by my own conscience, but likely by home security as well. I have nothing to hide in my behavior.

About: Hello 👋 my name is Carmie and I am excited to meet you and your pets. I’ve taken care of cats and dogs ever since I was young. *For housesitting* I can stay there all day and return very early in the morning, but I won’t be able to sleep overnight. Friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed their pets. Personally, I’ve owned and taken care of my own dogs for many years and two rabbits. My two fur babies are a Samoyed and a Lab. They love going to the dog park and to play. There is a park nearby my place. I have a fenced yard where your dogs can run around safely and freely. I can take your pets on long walks for exercise and a good stretch. I’m experienced in administering oral and injectable medicine as well. If needed, please detail the necessary care in your booking. I work from home all day. Your pets will have human supervision throughout the day. I can follow your set schedule for your pets closely.

About: While I am newer to professional pet sitting, I am a lifelong animal lover who is incredibly responsible, attentive, and eager to help. I have spent time caring for family and friends' pets in the past, and I know how important it is to treat every dog with patience and kindness. Because I am building my experience, I make it a priority to follow your exact instructions, routines, and house rules down to a T. I provide Frequent updates for your peace of mind. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk to burn off steam or a gentle, slow stroll with lots of sniffing, I am excited to provide a safe, fun, and reliable experience for your furry family member!" Pet care fits into my routine because I’m currently taking a break from college so I have plenty of time for mid day walks and drop in’s, I’m typically available Monday through Friday from 10am - 4pm which is ideal for working pet parents who need their dogs let out during the workday. I keep my phone close and ready to respond . When dropping in or walking your pup, my goal is to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable in their own routine. I practice strict leash safety outdoors and am always alert to our environment. Indoors, I carefully follow all of your care instructions for feeding, playing, and potty breaks. I pride myself on being respectful of your home, ensuring it is locked up tight and secure before I depart. You can always expect timely communication and plenty of photo updates!"

“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: Hi pet parents! I’m Sophie, and I’d love to care for your furry family members in and around the Seattle/Renton area. I have over six years of experience loving and looking after both dogs and cats, and I share my home with Zed, my 6 year old Shiba Inu. I’ve cared for pups of all temperaments — Shiba Inu (not just mine!), golden retrievers, huskies, malamutes, terrier mixes, doodle mixes, and plenty of adorable “everything” mixes. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and needs, and I’m happy to follow your preferred pace and routine so your dog gets the walk they enjoy most, whether that’s slow and calm or faster and more adventurous. For drop ins, I’m more than happy to stay for cuddles, playtime, or just some company if your pet prefers a buddy around for a little bit. You’ll always get photo updates from me, so you know your fur babies are being loved on and cared for. I can’t wait to meet your pups and kitties! I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible so I will always do my best to fit around your schedule and adapt to your pets routine, feed times, exercise needs etc. During walks, my attention is fully on your dog's safety (other dogs around, traffic, our environment), pace and generally ensuring they are enjoying their walk. For drop ins, I will follow your house keeping instructions exactly and keep your pets secure, making sure they are fed or given any medication on time, and ensure your house is locked up when I leave. For both services, always send you photos and let you know when I arrive and leave to give you peace of mind :)

About: I have taken care of my close friends and families many cats and dogs of different breeds and amazingly different personality types for at least the last 15 years. Who doesn't love an exuberant leg rub hello from a lovey kitty or a jumping puppy who loves to give kisses? However, keep in mind I do have a special skill set with both cats and dogs that are very unsure of new people. When I enter an animals home I actively ignore shy animals, sit quietly and let them come to me on their own terms. I have a strong understanding of those classic stress signals, the cute but warning whale eyes, the lip licking (and not because they are hungry) and flat ears. I am also versed in diabetic care for cats as well. I am comfortable with large breed dogs and have experience with German Shepherds and Bully Breeds. In addition I am willing to wear an N95 as needed for any immune compromised needs. Looking forward to meeting your adorable animals! I currently work week days but I am free in the afternoon and evenings Monday-Friday starting at 3:30pm and have open flexibility on most Federal Holidays, Saturdays and Sundays. I will be coming to you and your pet to provide the upmost familiarity and comfort for them. I have a calm slow approach and let shy animals come to me to acclimate. I am a pro at following specific instructions you might request because every pet is as unique as their people are and deserve the best. I am familiar with basic cat and dog first aid and have emergency vet numbers saved.

About: My dogs and I are very familiar with Rover. There is usually visiting dog in the mix. I am the sitter I would want to care for mine. Good vibes here. My mom Rosalind j. Is a great sitter on Rover. I am usually her second helper with her dogs. https://www.rover.com/sit/rosalj06235 I am very open and interest to sitting other critters. I am work long periods on and long periods off. I will be available 24/7 when I’m home. We can discuss as needed your sitting requests. There is a fenced patio and a grassy courtyard that the dogs know all the sniff spots. Walkable neighborhood and a park me and my dogs walk to.

“Always a relief to know Lexi is being taken care of by the best!”

Melissa M.

“We used Claire for a long weekend for drop in visit/walk. Communication was great and our dog was happy and well taken care of. Will definitely call Claire again.”

About: I have been a dog person since birth! I love all and any dogs. I had my own for 18 years and since his passing have been actively fostering dogs with different rescue organizations. I’d consider myself well experienced with four legged friends. I have a fenced in yard and love to lay or play. I am a nanny as well so I am caring and patient. People say I am reliable and punctual. I will snuggle, take naps, run around the yard, and just pet the daylight out of your pup. I have experience with gentle leaders, prong collars, putting on harnesses, crate training, reactive dogs, and muzzles. I feel confident I can take care of your family member when you are away at work or vacation or just need a little break :) I am currently taking time off work so my schedule is open! Available during the day for walks or day care or overnights or drop ins :) I have a fenced in yard. I have crates at my house already in all different sizes and dog beds and dog toys since I foster dogs I follow the rules of the pet owner, but I allow dogs on my furniture and in my bed so if the pet owner allows, the pet is more than welcome to snuggle :-)

“We absolutely loved Mikaela, and so did Ronnie! This was our first time leaving our kitten home alone, so we were a little nervous, but having Mikaela take care of her was such a relief. She was reliable and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She also took the cutest pictures of Ronnie, which we loved getting! We would definitely trust Mikaela with Ronnie again and highly recommend her!”

Jenny J.

“Dogs were well taken care of! Kylie & Alan handled both the speeds of the pups and made sure they got the love and care they needed while we gone.”

Kolina K.

“Cynda took great care of our pets during our five-day vacation. We received updates on every visit made (3x/day). Also, Cynda kept the pet feeding and litter areas very well groomed!”

About: Your dog is SAFE, I am RESPONSIBLE and your dog is FAMILY, to me!!! I am physically fit, full of humor and just waiting for a dog or dogs to care for. I have a cat but he is not interested in outside adventures as he just sleeps, lol I am semi retired so I am flexible. When I'm not at the gym, I walk different dogs at my condo's, just for fun--honestly! I can provide references as well. Your dog is my "child", while in my care. I take this job/responsibly very seriously, which you will soon find out! We will play, run, and walk and quickly develop a love for each other!!

About: I have always loved animals and always had a pet or two when I was growing up. I used to be a human caregiver lol. Now super excited to care for you're fur babies of all sizes! Being a dogless person now since my fur baby crossed the rainbow, this is my chance to get my "fur fix"! I am currently working part-time and helping with my father, but I believe this pet-sitting opportunity would be a fulfilling way to combat stress and satisfy my love for animals. I'm accustomed to working in other people's homes because of my caregiving work, especially with seniors and their pets. I'm confident that, after learning about each pet's unique needs and preferences from their owners, I can provide them with the same loving care as my own.

“Patrick was great with my cat while I was on vacation. Always updated me on my cat, which gave me peace while on vacation. Will definitely book Patrick again.”

“Mandy took great care of my two cats while I was away! Great communication and follow through on all the care instructions. Went above and beyond to leave my house in great shape. Will definitely rebook!”
