Micayla was totally a life saver this week. I needed a last minute sitter for my two pups and she did it without hesitation. She treated them as if they were her own and was totally patient with my hyper one! Definitely will recommend her to my friends and family!

About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for dogs and cats for family and friends, so I’m experienced with everything from energetic pups to independent, sassy cats. I focus on providing calm, attentive care—whether that’s sticking to routines, giving extra playtime, or making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. As a pet parent to two fur babies of my own, I know how important trust is, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my little crew—with lots of love, patience, and care. I have a flexible and open schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and care. I currently drive part-time for DoorDash, and spend the rest of my time caring for close friends’ and family’s pets. I enjoy being active, reliable, and present—making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a natural love for animals and enjoy caring for pets of all personalities. At home, I care for two energetic and affectionate cats who keep me on my toes and remind me daily how important patience, routine, and playtime are. I’ve also provided overnight care for dogs who enjoy walks, cuddles, and consistent attention. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: We have both taken care of pets since we were young! I (Alexa) have grown up with furry friends my whole life, and I LOVE all animals (though I do have a soft spot for dogs). Connor has grown up with pets his whole life as well. We’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors before, with all kinds of critters. Alexa has experience volunteering at local animal shelters, and has had the pleasure of listening to Lee Asher speak in person. We are also currently the owners of a small dog, a big dog, and a very mischievous cat. We are both very well equipped to care for animals anywhere from a mouse to a horse. Your babies are in wonderful hands with us. I (Alexa) currently work as an EMT, which means I work only 7-8 days per month. That leaves plenty of time to go wherever duty calls! Connor gets his work schedule week by week, but normally has Fridays and Saturdays off. We are willing to house/pet sit for you, walk your animals, and do daily checkups for you as well. In a clients home, we will respect your space and only do what is necessary. You can count on us to make sure your furry friend has all that they need while you are gone, in the safety and security of your own home.

Brianna is wonderful. She takes great care of my dog whenever she is with him. It's so nice to know that my fur baby is in good hands, weather he is going for a walk, at a playdate, or boarding with her. Absolutely will continue to call on Brianna when I need pet care.

About: My whole entire family and friends has always called on me for anything to do with animals. When I was small I literally had my own personal pet store and I took care of them and loved them, mind you I was a small child so I def would love to do it as an adult! Well I'm pretty open right now so just contact me and we can figure out the details and all that. I'm mostly home thru the week tho. I will always take your pets out every hour or if they give me signs that they need/want to go outside and always on a leash. I will cater to yours as they're mine! They will grow to prob be family to me.

About: Trustworthy, Reliable & Attentive Care for Your Pet and Home 🐕🐈🏡 . I had two dogs growing up in the South Sound area 🐶🐶, have done some wonderful house and pet-sits which resulted in 12 out of 12 Five-Star reviews from a leading global house-sitting platform. You can see screenshots of these reviews in my photo gallery! Let me know if you’d like me to share my many excellent professional work references and 40+ positive Airbnb reviews. . While I used to pet sit while traveling with my teen daughters, I now operate strictly as a solo sitter/ walker, and will be the only person providing care for your pets and visiting your home. . As a UW-Seattle graduate, former sales and marketing executive, and current online business owner / remote worker, I bring absolute respect, clear communication, professionalism and mature responsibility to your home. I’m a clean, quiet, middle-aged gal who doesn't smoke, drink or (heaven forbid) do drugs. . I’m keen to supplement my income with something active and fun that I love doing but this time, for my own local community... taking care of adorable pets! 🐱🐶 . What I’d Love to Offer Your Household: . 🐶🐱 Attentive Pet Care: I’ll treat your pets like family, making sure they get plenty of love, walks, play, and that their daily routine is followed. Even shy, sensitive and senior dogs and cats take a shine to me. . 🏡 Respectful Home Care: I am tidy, follow directions well, and will always respect your space. I’m happy to handle daily household needs like watering plants, bringing in mail/packages, and taking out the garbage. I pride myself on leaving pet sit homes in the exact same condition I found them if not better. . 📱Regular Communication: I’m happy to text you updates and send photos of your favorite cuties regularly so you can be rest assured that they are doing well in my care. 💬📸🐶🐱 . 💊 Medical Needs: I have experience administering medications and handling unexpected situations (like vet visits) calmly and efficiently. . 🚙 Active Adventures: If you would like me to, I’d be happy to take energetic dogs to local trail outings or the nearest dog parks to get their wiggles out and socialize. The back of my SUV is clean and animal ready. . 🗓️ Schedule & Routine: For overnight sits, I’ll stay in your home so your pets feel comfortable in their own environment. My schedule is flexible, but a few days a week I step out for mid-morning local errands and appointments that take no more than 6 hours maximum. Outside of those hours, your pets will have my full attention. Because I run an online business, I will often be working on my laptop right at your home while your pup snoozes at my feet or your cat snuggles on my lap. . I look forward to having a Meet-and-Greet to ensure we are a perfect fit for a happy, comfortable sit! 🗓️ For pet/house sits, I provide dedicated overnight care in your home so your pets can feel comfortable in their own environment while you are away. I will enjoy spending my evenings playing with your pets, or we can snuggle together and watch a dog or cat-friendly flick on Netflix! . My schedule is flexible, but a few days a week I step out for mid-morning local errands and appointments that take no more than 5 or 6 hours maximum. Outside of those hours, your pets will have my full attention. Because I run an online business part-time, I will often be working on my laptop right at your home while your pup snoozes at my feet or your cat snuggles on my lap. . I'm also available for dog walking and drop ins from 9am to 7pm to check on your cuties and take care of their needs. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. Over 12 pet owners have rated me 5 stars (on another platform... see photos)) and praised me for providing trustworthy and safe care as well as keeping their homes clean and respected. . When house sitting, I ensure all doors and gates are securely locked at all times, food and hazards are kept out of reach, and dogs are always kept on a secure leash during walks. I’m highly observant of any changes in a pet's energy or appetite, and I keep owners updated daily with photos and messages. Please view screenshots of my verified reviews directly in my photo gallery! =) . For peace of mind, I highly recommend an in-person Meet & Greet before our first scheduled service. This helps establish a great rapport between us and, most importantly, between me and your pets. That way, I’m already a familiar face to your fur babies when I arrive for the sit, and we can start off on the right paw! . I am glad to care for well-behaved large dogs! I am comfortable walking a single large dog that might pull a bit, but to ensure safety, I prefer not to walk two strong pullers simultaneously. I had a frustrating experience once trying to use those silly backpack harnesses / leashes on my human twins when they were toddlers and they tried to run in opposite directions at the Puyallup Fair or kept going around my legs so I couldn’t walk 😂

About: Hello! I am a pet owner and an animal lover, and I've been living in Seattle for two years. I moved here form the east coast after graduating from college and fell in love with the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. I have a large cuddly pitbull named Leo, who I love to take on hikes and adventures and snuggle on the couch. He's a big pup, at 120lbs, so I have experience walking and playing with bigger dogs. I have many years of ownership experience with cats and dogs and love them both equally (although my friends tell me I have a cat personality).I have my own transportation and can reliably get myself to any location for drop-ins or walks. I would be thrilled to offer the very best of care to your furry family members! I am currently a full time student and not working a regular job so I can be available and flexible with my hours. I can available for nights, mornings, weekends, depending on the day and could also do overnights if required. My pets receive the best standard of care and a whole lotta love. My dog gets two walks a day and plenty of engagement through training games, and cuddles.

Another great walk with Paul! I genuinely can’t believe how quickly he was able to build rapport with our dog Luna and get her to walk with him. She settled down very quickly and even listened to his commands. He clearly knows how to handle big dogs with quirks!! Very much appreciate his responsiveness, flexibility, and calmness.

This was our first time using Michael to walk our dogs. Michael came to our house to meet the dogs beforehand. He came in and got down to their level, petting them and played with them and allowed the dogs to get to know him. He There after, each day like clockwork he showed up and walked the dogs through the park. I would and will use Michael again next time.

There is not much more I can say about Alyssa that I already have. She is very caring. My fur baby Myka sits and waits by the door on the days she knows she is coming. Alyssa always gets down to Myka’s level and gives her plenty of love before they start their walk. Alyssa always keeps me informed about what Myka does on their walks. She is very conscientious about letting me know about arrival time and changes in schedule. She is extremely pleasant and helpful. We have been blessed to have her in our lives and hope she never leaves.
