“Bridget was very attentive to our cat Lincoln and gave him excellent care during her drop-in visits while we were away. Share shared regular updates and great photos. We would definitely book Bridget again!”


“Xiu took such good care of our pups while we were out of town recently. They are not used to others coming over and taking care of them but they quickly gained trust in Xiu. She also kept us so informed messaging and sending pictures. It was great seeing how happy they were with her. It all started with a great meet and greet. She was so detailed to make sure she understood who they were and their needs. I hope we can have her come watch them again.”


“Vanessa was very attentive and patient with our nervous Obi, which was so appreciated! She was punctual, handled all complex feeding directions well and provided pictures of an anxious but happy boy. That's the best we can ask for and will book again!”


“Deidre was fantastic. We were very anxious leaving our older chihuahua and standard poodle alone all day since they’ve become accustomed to being no more than 5 feet away from us since working from home the last 6 years. As soon as we met Deidre for the meet and greet we were put at ease. She’s has a calm, grounded presence that not only the dogs but even our scaredy cats responded too. She came by for three visits and sent full updates and many photos. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”


“Jeffrey was fantastic and allowed us to be worry free while traveling overseas. He even helped take care of our cat who unfortunately has cancer and was able to administer oral meds. I went ahead and already booked him again for our next trip. Highly recommend!”


“Savannah is awesome at communicating. I work a busy schedule and had to communicate with her about an emergency regarding my pups and she was super responsive and came up with solutions to help us the most helpful ways. Great sitter. Definitely recommend.”


“This was my first time working with Madison and they were fantastic! They made time to do a meet-and-greet before hand to meet my Kitty and watch me administer medications. They asked great questions and were patient with my instructions. They have now checked on my cat twice and gave meds, they gave thorough notes in the rover card and provided great pictures. My cat was quick to cuddle with them which is always a good sign that they are gentle and kind when giving meds. Overall very happy and will definitely book again.”


“Becky has been so wonderful with my new puppy. Her communication is fantastic as well as the photos she sends of her! Poppy always loves her visits. It has made this transition of bringing a new puppy home so much less stressful!”



“Kristina was a prompt communicator and very easy to schedule with. She was professional and kind when meeting and taking care of Sunny. She left feedback from her visit as well. I would 100% book with Kristina again!”


“Wonderful experience!! I will definitely use Ashley again and recommend her to anyone. She kept me updated and responded to messages very quickly. My cats were well taken care of. They are pretty social with me and not used to me being gone. So far they are not showing any separation issues and even the shy anxious one is doing great! Ashley stopped in to hang out twice a day and that extra people interaction each day from my past one a day visits has had a big impact. Sad as it is to say it’s almost like they didn’t miss me as much this time :) Thank you!!!”


“Melanie did a great job taking care of my very unfriendly cat Daisy! She sent lots of pictures & updates, which I enjoyed getting. Melanie brought my mail in & took my garbage out to the curb for pick up too. She went above & beyond! I am so happy to have found her to take care of Daisy when I am gone!”



“100 stars! We moved to Olympia recently and then had to take a ten day trip out of town, and Jerri was amazing! We had daily pictures of our old man cat and she rotated lights, got the mail, and even dragged our trash cans back in. She also stayed in close contact with us the last day of our trip, as we were worried about our flights being cancelled or late, and she was ready to come back if we needed her. 10/10 highly recommend!”


About: I luckily was able to grow up on a farm where I was around horses, sheep, dogs and cats all throughout my childhood and young adulthood. I feel comfortable being about to sense what an animal needs and how to make them feel more as ease. I am a very active person and if you have an active dog, can get them out on adventure hikes. I work part-time and from home a lot of days. I am mostly home on the weekends and can be available with advance notice for any day or holiday. I have an apartment where dogs or cats can roam and are allowed on the bed. As I am home for much of the day they can be comforted that I am there and let out on frequent potty breaks.

“Lauren is a fantastic pet sitter. She was great with our elderly cat (Stan loved her!), gave through updates and was patient with us as we can be worrisome pet parents when it comes to our old man Stan. Already hoping to work with Lauren for our future needs.”
