“Amanda has been great with our dog! She has been a strong communicator, responsive, and reliable which we so appreciate. We look forward to continuing to work with her!”

About: I have owned dogs and cats for my entire life, and I love spending time with and caring for them properly. I have a senior extra large dog and a very fussy and picky cat, so I have spent a lot of time researching their safety and paying attention to their preferences to make them as happy as possible. I would love to share my love and attention for your babies as well! I am not currently working, so I have all the time in the world! I do still have my boys to take care of, but I will make sure your pets are as much of a priority as I make my own when I can! My pets have regular vet care and check ups, and have everything they need (including me) at their disposal whenever they need it. Unfortunately I cannot host any pets in my home due to my cats temperament, but I’m happy to be wherever I’m needed!

About: Hi! I recently moved to Seattle from Vancouver, and I’m away from my own fur baby (a 7-year-old bichon who knows 30 different tricks). I’m a very attentive pet owner and frequently babysit my friends’ cats and dogs. I also love studying pet nutrition, and enjoy (allergies and preferences permitting) making yummy and healthy pet treats! Being in Seattle and away from all the animal friends in Vancouver, I understand the difficulties of making time for our pets, and I’d love to give back to the community by offloading your pet care when you’re stretched thin. My apartment is very animal friendly with lots of safe and fenced off outdoor areas, where I can provide dedicated attention and enrichment for your fur babies. I work remotely from home with lots of flexibility, so I have dedicated time and attention to take care of pets in my routine. I would be able to walk, play with, and attend to their potty needs throughout the entire day. I’m a very attentive pet sitter, and will communicate with you to make sure I’m meeting all your baby’s needs. My apartment is equipped with new pet amenities, notably a pet spa and safe, fenced off outdoor areas. I also live near 3 parks, and can easily drive to your home for any in-home pet care.

“Jenifer is an absolutely wonderful dog-sitter. She is really great with my dog, who can get anxious when I am gone. And on top of working her magic with my pup, Jenifer has those professional skills that set her apart and above the rest: Very reliable, excellent communicator, and widely experienced. My travels went so much smoother because I knew Cora was in Jennifer's capable, loving hands!”

About: To my amazing clients and potential new clients! I can officially offer dog grooming as well! I earned my dog grooming certification from Masers Dog Grooming in Kenmore, Washington Graduated in April 2024 I am currently working on earning my dog training certification. I will keep you all posted on those details! Due to the new respiratory virus that’s effecting and affecting our loyal companions I will be limiting the amount of pups in my care and will be requesting current vaccination and current flea prevention prior to boarding. I apologize for the inconvenience. “Life is what happens when you’re making other plans!” - one of my favorite quotes! I am a dog lover and animal advocate. Dogs have always been a part of my life and I feel that each one has an amazing soul. I was a dogsitter, housesitter and substitute teacher before I had my daughter. I just need to make sure that any dog I dog sit is child friendly and will get along with my rescue. My previous rescue, “Shabah” passed away in 2016. Our new rescue, “Todd” has the same spirit of our previous old dog! I have a split level home (unfinished basement). Our home is a comfortable and cozy home that's dog and kid friendly. We have a large fenced in backyard. Our neighborhood is a dog friendly, kid friendly, cat friendly, chicken friendly neighborhood. All our neighbors are respectful of each other and watch out for each other. About this sitter: I’m a survivor of many things and 52 years young ( I stopped counting). I have an amazing, smart, funny and talented tween who consistently keeps me on my toes. I earned my BA in Photojournalism and Film from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University. I love to travel and before my kiddo was born, I had the opportunity to travel to many different countries. I’ve had the opportunity to attend school at the University of Wales and travel throughout GB, Spain, Ireland, Scotland, Oman and the UAE and taught briefly in Salalah, Oman. Dogs are honest, sincere and loving creatures with the right environment. I want to make sure that you know your dog will be safe and loved while staying with me and my family. Why I love dog sitting: I have loved dogs my entire life. I have always owned a dog. From our first family dog, “George” who used to pose for the camera every time I would take my camera out! He would literally pause and stay still for the camera! I’ve always had rescues and they have all been amazing mixed breed mutts! 🥰🐶 If anyone ever needed help with their dogs, whether it was dog sitting, dog walking or helping rescue a dog in need I was always there to help out. I just have a special place in my heart for dogs. Meet my pets I had a 16 year old border terrier mix, “Shabah.” She was wonderful with children and took care of her little 'sis' since the day I brought her home from the hospital. Shabah passed away in 2016 and we continue to miss her everyday. It wasn’t until Covid that I broke down and adopted another rescue, “Todd.” Todd has come a long way since the day I adopted him. He was rescued out of a home in Eastern, Washington. I have worked on training him but continue to work with him daily. I have looked into getting certified to become a dog trainer and use those skills with dog sitting. Our Home: My daughter, dog and I recently moved back to our old house in Shoreline. I am working on remodeling the inside of the house and working on the front and backyard. Since I am doing all of this on my own, it’s taken some time and a constant work in progress. Please excuse the mess during this “construction” time. Do not worry! There’s only weeds and brown grass and dirt for the dogs to play around in. The inside of our home have plenty of places for your dogs to sleep. The dogs will also let me know what other spots they like too! A couple dogs I watched recently loved snuggling up underneath our entertainment center area. I’ve since put a cozy bed in that spot for them! 💗 Our home is approximately 1800 square feet, we have an unfinished basement (I’m working on remodeling), a large kitchen, dining room,l nook, living room and t.v. room. We also have 3 small bedrooms and 1 1/2 bathrooms. The dogs are welcome anywhere they would like. I sanitize daily (dog and kid friendly sanitizers) and vacuum daily (as long as it doesn’t scare the dogs - otherwise it’s sweeping). It's important to me that my home remains a child friendly and dog friendly home. About my yard: I have a fenced in backyard. It's a durable backyard, meaning that it's o.k. that the grass gets torn up and if your dog is a digger. If you are someone who is trying to break the habit of your dog digging, just let me know. I can work on that while your dog is in my care. I will not leave the dogs unattended. With a fenced in backyard it’s easy to think they would be OK, my dog is a “Houdini,” so I make it a habit of never leaving any dogs unattended even with a fenced in backyard. My experience administering medication: Over the years I have administered shots and oral medication for my dogs and friends dogs and dogs I have dog sat for. I am available full time to dog sit and walk, your amazing pups! I do have a busy schedule with my kiddo and her after school activities. As long as you’re O.K. and the dogs are O.K. with car rides, we are all good! I won’t text and drive or take photos while driving! I have a fenced in backyard and brown grass (at the moment) for the dogs to play around in. It’s O.K. to mess up our yard since it’s a “work in progress” yard! I always monitor and supervise the dogs when they are playing in my front or backyard. My front yard is not fenced in yet, so the dogs would be on a leash at all times in the front yard. My schedule is quite chaotic and ever changing. Since I won’t leave the dogs unsupervised, they go with me. Each client I have had has been great with my busy schedule. I take the dogs with to drive my kiddo to school and take them with to pick her up. When she has after school activities - the dogs will come with me to drop her off and pick her up. I’ll take the pups on walks or small hikes or to a dog park with the owners permission. If the dogs are O.K. to be left alone for a short period of time - then I plan accordingly. I don’t like to leave dogs in kennels unless it’s absolutely necessary and becomes a safety issue. Otherwise, they are free to roam their new temporary environment. I can no longer house sit or dog sit in someone else’s home since I have a kiddo and my own rescue pup. In my home, I make sure the dogs are always safe and have a separate room for the dogs who are food aggressive during feeding time. If one dog plays too rough with the other dogs I will plan accordingly on which dogs are safest to play together. There have been times when I had to separate the play times between the dogs who played rough together, compared to the dogs who didn’t. It all worked out great. Dogs get to know each other’s play and personalities rather quickly . I make sure the dogs all have fresh water throughout the day. If it’s a dog that doesn’t monitor their own water intake, I will make sure to monitor the water intake in the evening. I need to sleep too and cannot be kept up throughout the night to let the dogs outside. I’ve had to do this for my own dog and he’s been fine. 😊🐾 Please Note - Due to the potentially fatal new respiratory virus that’s effecting and affecting our loyal companions I will need to request current vaccination records to be emailed and will have to postpone dog sitting and boarding until a vaccination is available to our loyal companions. I will reach out to Rover directly on how they will handle matters like these since this is something none of us could imagine would come up. Thank you and I appreciate you! Monday thru Friday the pups all come with to drop my kiddo off at school. After drop off I take the pups to a local park for a bit. Then back home to get my work done. The dogs all have free reign of the house. I can take them out in our backyard every couple of hours. At 2:30 on M/T/Th/F we head back out to pick my kiddo up from school. Then back home for more playtime. We have breakfast and dinner around 6 am and dinner between 4 and 5 pm - these times for breakfast and dinner are flexible. *please note* I request all dogs be treated with a flea and tick preventive prior to boarding, grooming. Our yard gets frequent visitors such as coyotes, rabbits and raccoons. All of these animals carry fleas. I treat my yard and home with Wondercide but cannot prevent fleas from getting on your dog(s). If your dogs are not on flea prevention - there are no guarantees. We will frequent dog parks and trails and fleas and ticks can live in these environments. I go by the “honor system” when people tell me their dogs are on flea prevention. One walk in the park in this area can cause and create an itchy dog. Please treat your dogs for fleas and ticks as a prevention. Thank you! This keeps my dog safe, my home safe and everyone else’s dogs safe. Please note that frontline and advantage Do Not work on the fleas in this area. The best treatment I found was Simparico Trio that kills the entire flea cycle! The flea prevention that works the best are prescriptions from a vet. Please make sure to get a flea and tick medication that kills the entire flea cycle! Some medications only kill the adults. I cannot begin to tell people how important this is. Fleas are super gross and wreck havoc on a home and animal. Thank you for keeping my home, my dog and especially your dog(s) safe! Thank you!

“Thank you so much!”

About: When I was a kid I had birds, fish, a hamster, and a black cat named Tova who was my absolute world! When I was 12, I moved in with my grandmother who was a former poodle groomer. She had 2 standard show poodles. I learned a lot about dogs from her. I took junior handling classes weekly and trained them (Ellie & Grace) from puppies. That was when I grew to be both a cat and dog lover! Now I am 35 and work as a professional horticulturist caring for 3500 tropical plants. I also worked at the Amazon Spheres and frequently helped with the fish tanks. Taking care of living things is my passion. Right now, I have a poison dart frog named Todd who I raised from a tadpole - so I have some experience with exotics as well. I frequently pet and house sit for friends and colleagues. Most recently I boarded 2 bunnies at my house for my coworker. I have also done extended house sitting for 2 senior dogs who required daily medication, my bosses cat, and my real estate agent’s Cavalier King Charles puppy. Since I was a kid, animals have always felt very comfortable around me - even the skittish ones! I am on medical leave from work right now and am looking to fill my days giving animals love while making a little extra cash. My schedule is very open. Whether you’re just looking for someone to stop by and feed, walk, or spend some quality time playing with your furry friends, I’m here to help. If you have any questions, please reach out! I can provide references. I’m currently on leave from work so my schedule is open and flexible. If the weather is nice I typically work in the garden in the late afternoon so your pets can hang out with me outside (if you want!). I generally do not like to leave dogs in the garden unsupervised but I can let them out multiple times a day. I can also take them to the park or bring them with me on my evening walks. My home has a fully-fenced in yard with grass. I only have a frog in an enclosed terrarium in my bedroom so your pets are free to roam and make themselves at home. If I am coming to your home I may need to leave occasionally for morning or afternoon appointments but I am happy to stay and hang out with your pets, take them for morning and evening walks, etc. I will leave your home clean and as I found it.

About: Having had two dogs and one cat of my own, I understand the deep bonds we share with our loved ones. I bring that personal connection to my role as a loving and attentive pet caretaker, ensuring your furry family members receive the same care and affection as my own. I've temporarily stepped away from my corporate career, granting me a flexible schedule to focus on Pawfect Paws. Whether it's a leisurely walk or a dedicated drop-in visit, your pet is my top priority! Pawfect Paws offers regular check-ins for meals, potty, fun playtime, and leisurely walks. I aim to establish a cozy, trusted and safe environment, while also accommodating any special needs or routines they may have.

About: Hi there, I'm Alisha! Also known as Bodhi and Bella's personal walker in our neighborhood :) I'm Alaska rooted, Seattle based - I've spent much of my life outdoors, with that, also cohabitating with many animals. Wild or domesticated, I have a deep love and understanding for animals near and far - except for snakes ;) Spent many days house/cat/dog sitting for friends and acquaintances. Have special relationships with those furry friends to this day! Happy to feed, give medications orally or topically - I'm a quick learner, empathetic to your pet and want to give the best care possible! Happy to answer any questions and looking forward to hanging with your furry loved ones. Cheers! I am currently working remotely on my own schedule. Very flexible and able to drop in most days! Will have some instances where I am unavailable. I have immense experience with daily dog care, with that comes great empathy! I understand leaving your pets at home during the workday can be stressful for all - if I can help ease that stress, happy to be there!

“Our dog Kuma loves Michael! We are super lucky to have him on our team. Michael is flexible and a great communicator! Kuma is a large, 1 year old golden retriever with quite a bit of puppy energy and some habits we're still trying to work out, and Michael is so patient and kind with him. Highly recommend booking Michael!”

About: I’ve lived with and cared for dogs of many breeds for over 10 years. I’ve raised my own dogs and helped care for rescues and friends’ pets. I understand dog behaviour, body language, and how to communicate with them. I’m calm, reliable, and genuinely care about animals. I work from home and am available throughout the day. I can take your dog for walks as needed and give them attention and care without long gaps. My schedule is consistent, so your dog won’t be left alone. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. My senior dog is calm and friendly with other dogs—she’s never had issues and can be good company. I always keep an eye on interactions and make sure the environment stays low-stress and safe.

“Leah is awesome! She did a last minute walk for my dog and she was great with communication, punctual, and she provided great after-walk notes with plenty of pictures. My dog was super happy when I got home!”

Scott S.

About: Hey there, I’m Alice! I have a 10 year old German Shepherd and spend a lot of time walking, exploring, and being outside with her. She’s definitely taught me a lot about caring for both large dogs and senior dogs. I’m responsive, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, and I’ll always treat your pup with the same care and attention I give my own. I’d love to take your dog out for a walk, let them sniff around, explore, and enjoy some fresh air :) I’m a yoga teacher, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m happy to work with you to find a routine that works best for your pup. I can also often accommodate same-day bookings when my schedule allows. I have a GSD at home, so for now I’m offering drop-in visits and dog walks rather than care in my own home or house sitting. During visits, I’m happy to take your pup for a walk, play with them, give them plenty of attention, and follow their usual routine as closely as possible. I’ll always make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can see how your pup is doing :)

About: I am a mom, a semi-retired ex-Nordi employee, and am currently a part-time school bus driver, and I understand the importance of providing great service and of being responsible for the safety of others' loved ones. I bring extensive experience owning and caring for dogs, having grown up with, dog-sat, and owned various breeds. I love all dogs and have a special place in my heart for bully and pittie-mix breeds. My 2+ years of volunteer experience at PAWS have also provided me with valuable experience caring for dogs with different temperaments and personalities. I've taken dog-training classes at Ahimsa in Ballard, where I learned positive, force-free training techniques. Additionally, I have owned and cared for Cats, Sun Conures, Guinea Pigs, Beta fish, and even an Axolotl! As a part-time school bus driver, I am home a lot on weekdays, always home in the evenings, and on weekends. Your precious pup(s) will have near round-the-clock attention! I have also done dog-sitting at the owner's house. Our house is pet-safe, with a spacious, fully fenced backyard, and is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac within a quiet neighborhood. We currently have no pets of our own and live in a stable, friendly household. I will not board more than one dog at a time UNLESS they are from the same household/owner; in that case, I can board up to 2 dogs. The cul-de-sac is pet-free, so your dog will be safe and secure while they are showered with loving attention and treated with the utmost care & kindness. They'll enjoy a comfortable pet bed, toys, playtime, walks, and their favorite meals. If they like to visit the dog park and you'd like them to get some doggie playtime, I'm happy to accommodate! Frequent walks needed? No problem! Special Dietary/Medication needs? OK! Need a Zoomie-session? All-in. Quiet time & snuggles on the couch needed? 100% YES. In addition, I'm always very happy to provide you with many updates and photos during their stay!
