Hyeonyoung has been our dog walker for a few weeks now and we will continue to hire her to walk our dog! We can trust her and depend on her to walk the dog when we are at work. She took pictures during the walk. She is very nice and gentle to our dog. She even made cookies for our dog for Valentine’s Day! So sweet!

About: I have a few years of experience being a co-parent to a high-maintenance Aussiedoodle, and that has shown me how much I love spoiling our four-legged friends. I have experience administering oral medications, as well as rooming with and serving as the occasional food source for a few felines in my time. :) I’m all about keeping things easy and stress-free for you and your pets! My digital calendar keeps me going between my part-time job and the rest of my day, so I understand the importance of sticking to a schedule. Your pet won’t miss a single meal nor walk. Long walks or chill couch hangs, whatever your special friend needs to feel happy and healthy. Every animal is unique and I’m happy to cater to their personality type. I take my cues from your pet to make sure they feel totally at home. If they’re the 'let's play all day' type, I’m ready for adventure; if they’re the 'please just ignore me until dinner' type, I’m great at providing chill, low-key companionship. I know how difficult it is to be away from your pets, and I’m more than happy to provide regular updates and photos to ease that anxiety.

About: I’ve had dogs for 30+ years… Most recently two french bulldogs and a vizsla! I raised them all from puppies to old age. I’m experienced at all the stages and issues that loving and caring for animal requires. I’m semi retired and have a lot of time and energy to care for your pets. I recently lost my french bulldog Pierre to old age and cancer… I have a lot of love to give to your pet and can’t wait to meet them. I work from home a few hours a week… I’m active and love to walk along the waterfront. I do not have a yard… I live in a small apt above the pike place market. I am experienced with dogs that need meds and training and can handle both. My location is best for dogs that like walks and park play time. I’ve fostered animals both big and small… some with manners and some without (lol). Happy to create a schedule that works best for your pet… and they will be cared for as if they were my own.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs for friends and family. I have a 5-year-old cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone patient, attentive, and trustworthy to care for your pets. I regularly help friends and family with pet sitting for both cats and dogs. I’ve always been someone animals naturally feel comfortable around, and I love taking the time to make pets feel safe, calm, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and able to adapt to different pet personalities. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, playtime and making sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and provide updates for your peace of mind! 🤍 I’m currently unemployed so I have a lot of free time to take care of your pets! I’m available 10am-3pm weekdays, most of the time. Because I have a cat at home, I do not offer boarding in my own home. When caring for pets in client’s home, I follow their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for.

About: I specialize in caring for puppies and reinforcing the routines they’re already learning at home. Whether your pup is working on potty training, leash skills, or basic commands, I’ll help maintain consistency while providing plenty of love, play, and attention. As a I have been a dog mom myself, I know pets are family and I’ll keep you updated every step of the way. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine.

Walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of affection are things I genuinely enjoy and can easily incorporate into my routine. I’ve also been a dog mom myself, so caring for pets has already been a part of my everyday life. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, especially for puppies, senior dogs, or pets who feel more comfortable with consistency. If your pet needs an energetic walk, a quiet companion, or reinforcement of their training habits, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs! I believe pets are family, and I strive to provide the same level of care, attention, and patience that I would want for my own dog. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine. In a client’s home, I strive to maintain the environment and schedule they’re already familiar with, including feeding times, walks, playtime, potty breaks, training routines, and any special instructions. My goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I have experience working with puppies and understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and maintaining established training habits. I’m also attentive to each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort needs, whether they enjoy active play, long walks, or simply quiet companionship. When caring for pets, I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of respect and attention I would want for my own.

She is calm, gentle, reliable, and truly caring. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend Zoni—I will definitely book her again!

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs through both house sitting and pet sitting for friends, family, and clients. While living in Houston, I regularly cared for dogs for extended stays, including senior dogs that required extra patience, attention, and consistency with their routines. Since moving to Seattle, I've continued helping friends with dog care, including walks, drop-in visits, and longer stays. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, exercise, administering basic care, monitoring behavior, and providing companionship while owners are away. My goal is always to help dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment!! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention and care. I'm available on weekdays after 5:30 PM, except Wednesdays. On weekends, I have a very flexible schedule and am generally available starting at 9:00 AM. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or extended care, I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive service and keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of safe walking areas, a dog park on the property, and additional parks nearby. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized cats who are comfortable around dogs. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety, consistency, and following each owner's instructions and routines. Whether in my home or a client's home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and a clean, comfortable environment while their owners are away.

About: Hello! My name is Nassrin Aliabadi, and I am a recent college graduate ready to take on this world! I am an energetic, fun loving, caring person that is always ready to help at any time. My love and care for animals has been a building block of who I am since I was little. Throughout 3 years, I cared for a lot of pets from friends, family, and my own furry friends. I have taken care of up to two animals at the same time. I am very good at giving medicine to sick animals and following needed strict directions. My recent experience was with two super sweet cats that were diabetic. I took care of them for two weeks, going to the families house twice a day to give them food, medicine, and to make sure they were okay. I would also spend an hour extra being with them so they both didn’t feel alone. My goal as a sitter is to make sure the family and the dog or cat is happy and healthy. Feel free to contact me at anytime!

About: I'm a proud owner of a shiba named Bob, and if you know anything about shibas it's that they are stubborn! He has taught me both patience and perseverance - patience when he's sniffing pee-mail and perseverance when he refuses to answer nature's call. However, he stays home with my partner while I dog/cat sit :). I love getting to know new dogs/cats. I am available for as many walks as your dog wants, as well as play time. I love cuddle time, play time, and chill time with your baby. Safety is my number one priority for your baby. As a dog walker/sitter, I will give your fur baby the same love, attention and patience that Bobs enjoys. Your pup and I will have lots of fun while we get to know each other.
