“Natalie is awesome. She watched our senior cat and gave him meds and he even came out of hiding to greet her. Plus kept our crazy doodle happy. Lots of feedback and pictures. Booking her again before someone else beats us to it!!”

“Eunice did such a wonderful job with watching my buddy! She was very responsive, kind, and accommodating to my dogs needs and my travel plans. She was great at sending pics throughout the stay, took him on walks daily, and left my house spotless!! Would 10/10 recommend and hope to use Eunice again in the future!”

“Allie was absolutely fantastic! She catsit my three cats in my home and was incredibly communicative and good to my cats. The cats had recently been introduced each other, so she had to perform additional work to get them to get along with each other. I came back to my cats getting along even better than before I left, and that's all due to how good Allie is with cats. She clearly has a lot of expertise from working with so many pets, and I couldn't recommend her more. I received so many cute photos of the cats while I was away.”

“Sol was a wonderful house guest/petsitter! This was our first time booking with Sol & I was absolutely delighted by the care they gave my pets, AND my house. Sol was the perfect houseguest. They took our dog for runs, and sent pictures of the pets to check in while we were gone. I would definitely recommend Sol & look forward to booking them again. Thank you so much, Sol! I'm so happy we found you!!”


“Dana was so good with my kitties! Pistachio is a shy, nervous cat and doesn't usually get comfortable around people easily - and she was so comfortable around Dana that she got on her lap on the second day of sitting! She also was very communicative and sent me photos as I had requested. When I got home, it was clear that both the kitties and my apartment had been well cared for. 10/10 would book again!”

“Jinok and David were outstanding sitters for our home and dog. I highly recommend them. They were reliable, flexible and attentive to our dog's needs. They also communicated with us clearly and consistently throughout our trip. Having them taking care of things really gave us peace of mind so we could enjoy our holidays. And they took great pictures of him!”


About: I helped care for my family’s Golden Doodle from the time she was a few weeks old up until she turned two. Since moving to Seattle, my sister, Paige, and I have continued dog sitting together—everything from a playful Corgi to a half St. Bernard/Bernese Mountain Dog mix. While we no longer live in the same home, we still team up to give pets the best care. Payton, who lives in a studio, is the primary sitter, and I (Paige) join in on occasion from my townhouse. Together, we focus on house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking—but we’re no longer offering boarding. We love tailoring care to your pet’s personality, whether that means long walks and playtime or a slower, more relaxed day. Our priority is making sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away.

“Yali was so great with my rescue pup Jessie. We did a meet and greet with her husband, my pup is shy of men so I was unsure of how Jessie would be upon her arrival but she sent me a photo and video right as my plane took off of Jessie being happy to see her so it was an excellent start to my trip. She had some questions during my trip so I will be sure to add more to the written directions I leave next time. There will definitely be a next time because we saw her a few days after I returned home out walking and my pup was SO HAPPY to see her, it made my heart so happy. I highly recommend Yali :-)”

“Diane was so wonderful house sitting with our two dogs for the weekend. Our dogs are truly a handful and she was great at minimizing their shenanigans and communication throughout the weekend. One of our dogs takes several pills and she was very comfortable helping with that and meeting his needs for some extra walks during the day. We are so thankful to have an extra helper in the area. Thank you Diane!”
“Arrived home to a spotless house and very content dogs—Bruce did a great job with everything, including administering medications. Will definitely work with him again in the future.”

“Jade continues to be amazing! Smalls loves her and she takes such great care of him! I came home and I think he misses her already haha! Thank you Jade for being an amazing sitter!”

“Gaya took great care of Rave while we were out of town. She also took good care of our place. I recommend Gaya, and will definitely book with her in the future.”

“Olivia was a fantastic house sitter for our 2 senior dogs! Our dogs have some special needs including many medications, and I felt so confident in their care while we were gone. Olivia was professional, conciseness, and so kind. We got regular updates and check-ins for any questions. Our house was spotless and we could tell the dogs were so well cared for upon our return. Highly recommended! (Thank you again, Olivia!!)”

About: I have been a dog mom for 15 years and a cat mom for 3. I have lived in homes with pups my whole life and have cared for dogs from miniature schnauzers to pit bulls. Happy to invite your pets into my home if they are cat friendly. I am available for checking in on your dog from your home throughout the week and can offer potty breaks 2-4 times a day, depending on your dog’s needs. I am available for dog sitting from your residence as well. I am confident with all dog breeds and love big dogs and little dogs alike. I am very active and know great walking routes all around the city.
“We have used Sol many times and everytime is a wonderful experience. She is clear in communication, looks after Echo and we get lots of photos. We are lucky to have found Sol”

“Very communicative. Sent photos of our dog. We returned early by 1/2 day and she was very flexible. I will ask for her again. Our dog barely noticed we were gone, she was so comfortable with Elise.”

“Theresa, is always great with our very shy dog Oso. We really appreciate her taking such good care of Oso. House is always in great shape, and her communication while we are gone is wonderful.”

Azi and Sean were wonderful. They accepted care of our 1 yo pup with only a few days notice and did a great job communicating! They followed the plan we discussed perfectly and sent updates, videos and texts throughout the day! We will definitely use them again for future pup sitting needs!

Ryan is wonderful! He has an easy-going and gentle nature, which I’m certain was calming to my cats while I was away for a week. He listened intently to instructions, asked good questions about forgotten details, and left the house tidy. He’s reliable, intelligent, and trustworthy. I will call on him again and again.

Yali was fantastic! Would definitely use her again should the need arise. My dog was so happy with her I'm sure he would have followed her anywhere. Loved Yali's constant text communications with pics and videos. I could see how comfortable my dog was with her. and, the apartment, it was immaculate. .
Alexis G. Did a great job watching my pup séptimos. They were timely, caring and a delight to meet. She took time to go over all of his needs in depth with me including a lengthy medication routine. When left despite it being a short stay she left my place tidy and followed overnight instructions to a T. I always feel anxious leaving for work trips because of how much care my dog needs but I felt a little easier coming back knowing he had gotten all of his treatments on time and had someone so attentive. Any confusion in direction was quickly cleared up through thoughtful messages which I appreciated. Not only was she friendly but I would trust her with any of my pets. Would recommend her for anyone looking for a good house sitter or dog sitter!
Adriane was wonderful with our cat and dog. She left the house exactly as she found it (spotless!) and even put away the daybed, removed the sheets, and offered to wash the used towels. She also stayed a little longer so they wouldn’t be alone while I was on my way home. To me, that shows someone who truly goes the extra mile and genuinely cares about pets. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!

Wesley was wonderful! This was our first time leaving our pets with someone they didn’t know, so we were really nervous about how they’d do. With Wesley’s updates, it was clear that they were happy and at ease. Our very stand-offish cat came around to him, and our very anxious dog was clearly happy and at ease. 100% would book with Wesley again!

Erin is amazing! She and my dog Oogi really bonded while I was away and Erin communicated extremely well. She sent lots of updates, pictures, and made sure to check-in when something Oogi did seemed odd. Erin cares like your pet is her own. As an anxious dog mom, she made me feel very comfortable leaving Oogi with her. Plus my apartment was spotless when I came home. Ugh, a dream. Couldn’t recommend Erin enough!

Andy continues to be the best Rover ever. 1 week before a recent scheduled house sitting, my 12yo cat broke her leg and had surgery. Andy came for a pre-visit on their own time to get familiar with our new routine, including 5 medications, a modified litter box and “crate rest”. They took incredible care of Ava during my 2 nights away, sending regular updates. There is no one else I would’ve trusted with Ava so soon after a surgery. We are so lucky to have Andy in our lives!

Linda is absolutely amazing and welcome in our home anytime. She responds quickly, sends daily photos and updates. She’s Rover’d for us before and Luna remembered her right away which is amazing because she tends to be shy with new friends. Oh, she also washed her sheets and towels before she left. It wasn’t requested or required but certainly appreciated! We’ll definitely be asking her to stay with Luna again.

Five stars! Machele took excellent care of Benny, our Lab, and Mocha, our 14-year-old Puggle. Machele was extremely thorough, asked lots of detailed questions ahead of time, and carefully planned for anything unexpected that might come up while we were away. Machele communicated clearly throughout the stay and sent us lots of photos, so we always knew the dogs were happy and doing well. We felt completely comfortable leaving Benny and Mocha in Machele’s care and would absolutely hire her again!
