“Absolutely amazing sitter. Nikki was very sweet and attentive and took great care of Hermes like he was her own. She also reinforced his current training and I came back to a very happy boy! I can’t thank you enough!”


About: Growing up in Alaska, I was surrounded by a pack of 12+ dogs, which gave me hands-on experience caring for animals from an early age. I helped feed, clean, supervise, and create safe, enriching environments for each of them. As an adult, I’ve expanded that same level of care and attention to cats as well, including experience supporting senior pets and providing gentle hospice and end-of-life care for both dogs and cats. I deeply value the comfort, dignity, and quality of life of every animal I care for. It would be an honor to help care for your beloved four-legged family member with patience, compassion, and attentiveness. With a flexible weekly schedule supported by my household situation, I’m able to devote consistent time and attention to pet care, ensuring reliable visits and attentive, compassionate care for your pets. I offer loving, reliable care in both my home and my clients’ homes, always working to keep pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I adapt to each animal’s personality and needs to ensure they feel secure and well cared for in any environment.
“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 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.
About: I tend to bond well with doggos and am happy to walk, feed, cuddle, give belly rubs, and play tug-of-war and fetch with your dog(s). I also have experience caring for senior doggies who need medications and extra care and attention. I'm available for daily dog-walking, drop-in visits, and pet-sitting. I have a roommate who loves and can care for my cat so I am able to stay in your home and keep your pet company while you're away. I'm able to stop in for a time to feed and care for or walk your pet, or I can stay at your home if your pet needs more company and support. As a long-time cat mom who treasures her feline companion, I understand the importance of knowing your pet is being well-cared for when you can't be there. I commit to showing your pet the same care I would show my own, and I will be respectful of your home and conscientious about keeping it clean!
“Kiwi recently took care of our two cats and was amazing with them! She was very thorough and took notes and asked the right questions during our meet and greet. The cats seemed to warm up to her right away! Our cats can be quite shy, so it was great to see them feel so comfortable with her so soon. Kiwi went above and beyond to care for our kitties and we were so grateful to have her! We would definitely book her again!”

“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!”

“Jasmine is so great with our special needs kitty. She has to be fed on a regular schedule and even though it was super early in the mornings Jasmine was on time for all feedings, communicated well, and followed all instructions. We're so happy to have someone to take care of our kitty so we can enjoy some time travelling.”

“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’m a recently retired government employee and lifelong animal lover with experience caring for birds, cats, and dogs. I’m kind, honest, organized, and very clean, and I understand how important it is to leave both pets and homes well cared for. As a homeowner in Seattle and the owner of a rental property, I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive to detail. Since I’m retired, I have the flexibility and time to give pets the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. Rather than taking on many bookings, I hope to work with only a few clients so I can provide quality one-on-one care and build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I’m currently retired so I have time and flexibility to provide pet care and house sitting services. For pet sitting, I prefer late mornings, afternoons and evenings. I will provide care for pets in my clients’ homes. I prefer a nonsmoking household with free parking close by. I prefer to walk one to two dogs at one time.
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.
About: I have been a pet owner most of my life, starting with cats in my college days, and have consistently been a cat mom ever since. Then Willow joined our family, and I joined the dog camp! Willow loves having friends over, and so in the last couple of years, I have watched a dog when their owners have gone away for short trips, and it has been lovely and fits well with my work-from-home life, and has been a great social time for Willow. I have a teenage son who is with me part-time and who is also a dog lover (he is a big reason we brought Willow into our family). I have experience as a dog sitter from when I was younger, before having kids. Now that one kid is off at college and my youngest is in high school, I have way more availability to take on dog sitting again —this time in my home! I work full-time from home and set my daily schedule so I am available to take dogs for morning and afternoon walks. Generally, I take my dog Willow on a mile walk in the late afternoon or early evening, but I can curtail walks to the needs of your pup! I have a fenced-in yard that my 3.5-year-old dog uses all day long. I am always available to let the dogs in and out at their request. Willow is a super-friendly dog and loves playing with other dogs. I have 2 cats that are neutral when it comes to dogs, generally they just do their own thing, and have been very patient with Willow who does try and play with them.
“Our first time using Rover and Mckenzie was great. Arrived on time, spent extra time taking care of our boys. Provided photos and a detailed report of the visit. Thank you Mckenzie! Much appreciated.”

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.

Brendan did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats! You can tell he understands kitties very well and knows how to put them at ease. He was a great communicator, sent thorough updates and pictures each day, and left our space perfectly clean. Thank you Brendan!

Alex took incredible care of my three cats while I was away! She was attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring throughout the entire stay. Exactly what you want when leaving your fur babies with someone new. She kept me updated and I could tell she treated them like her own. Highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter!

Ashley got us out of a pinch at the last minute and over a holiday weekend to boot. She gave excellent care to our cats who were having GI problems after a round of antibiotics. She was very vigilant and gave us detailed reports so we could monitor them from afar. We were able to relax and take a badly needed getaway thanks to her care for our cats.
