“Thank you so much Cassie for taking such good care of Carrot while we were out of town over the holidays. It was a tough winter in Seattle, so we especially appreciate you taking the time to trek through the cold and snow each day. Your daily updates on Carrot were so welcome, and it made us very at ease while away. Thanks again for your help!”

“Jen was so sweet to my cat! She played with him every day and made sure he was well fed and stayed cool in the heat. She also sent me lots of adorable pictures and updates. Thank you Jen!”

About: I'm a software engineer working from home looking to break up my day with some exercise. You will find me to be reliable and communicative. I love dogs. I adopted Wally from shelter 10 years ago, and he's been getting 10k steps a day ever since. I frequently care for friends' dogs, and would love to help yours get out more. I'm a freelance software engineer with control over my schedule and a very predictable routine. I can accommodate walks almost any time during the day with a little notice. I live in an apartment in SLU with a very high energy beagle. I know how to keep him stimulated and and well exercised. We know all the parks and neighborhoods nearby and where to get a drink of water on a hot day.
About: I've had my own dog and cat, have always had a natural love for animals. I treat every pet I care for like my own I’m available for cat care in the noon/evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends. I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats and caring for them, and I make sure each visit is calm, consistent, and attentive. I care for cats in their own home by following the owner’s instructions carefully so they stay comfortable in their normal routine. I make sure they are fed, have clean litter boxes, and fresh water at every visit. I also spend time giving attention and companionship based on the cat’s personality (whether that’s playtime or just quiet company). I always make sure the home is secure before leaving.
“Sheng is so reliable! I had some family emergency and had to adjust my original schedule at the last minute, Sheng was so flexible and able to provide the help! He is definitely my go-to person to take care of my cat!”

About: Several years of watching friend's and family's dogs and cats! Have fostered dogs and I nursed my rescue puppy back to perfect health. I have had her for 4 years now. I work from home, so I can provide attention to your dog all day! We are very active, with multiple walks a day around the city, off leash dog parks (if you are ok with it), and weekend visits to bigger parks! I am flexible with dropoff and can even provide pickup/dropoff within a reasonable distance of Seattle. I will tailor my schedule to accommodate your pup's bathroom schedule. In my home, the dogs are allowed everywhere. I can crate the dog if necessary. We can do a meet and greet so that your dog can get comfortable with me and my pup. I will tailor my care to your pup!
“Ana is our favorite cat sitter! She is so great with our shy cat, and gives our cat so much attention and love. Ana is always communicative and I know our cat loves when she visits!”


“Was amazing with keeping me updated and proving pictures as well. Took both of my dogs out and even helped clean up a small mess they made! Very professional.”

About: I am happiest when caring for and bonding with animals of all kinds. As a volunteer with both a local animal shelter and wildlife rehabilitation center I have had experience providing extensive and complex care for animals with all sorts of differing needs. Growing up with, and continuing to care for, animals of my own has taught me so much about providing care at every stage of life. I have helped raise puppies, kittens, small chicks, and bottle fed orphaned wildlife. I am very comfortable understanding and respecting the boundaries of more reactive animals and will tailor my care to your pets individual needs and personality. I would be honored to be entrusted with your pets care and prioritize safety and communication above all else! I have a flexible schedule and will work with you in order to provide the best care for your pet/s where and when you need it. Safety is my number one priority, and I believe wholeheartedly in always acting with care and honesty. The care I provide is informed by your advice and individual needs, and the most important thing to me is providing a safe and comfortable environment for your pet.
“Akiko has been a sitter for us twice now and she was incredible both times! She's punctual and really good at communicating--regularly sending updates with photos/video clips--and friendly to boot! Our elderly cat has been perfectly content both times we've returned home. Thanks Akiko!”


About: I've had dogs my whole life but gotten more seriously involved with them in the last 8 years or so. In that time, I've owned and trained two personal dogs. I've also done at-home boarding and dog walking for friends and family for the last 5 years. In addition, I have experience with fostering rescue dogs, having cared for over 10 different dogs in my home, from puppies to seniors, including dogs with special needs and dogs without any training. I found it extremely rewarding and I am hoping to foster more in the future, as personal life and work commitments allow. While I do not have professional dog training experience, I have enjoyed training my personal dogs, foster dogs and others. I find it challenging and fun, and I have done everything from puppy training, crate training, leash skills and obedience. I also have experience in handling fearful and reactive dogs. I like to utilize balanced training methods and tools, or if the owner prefers, I can also stick to positive reinforcement only. I never have more than 3 dogs in my home at a time (one of them being my personal dog). I am currently working full time in a structured, dog-friendly office. Well behaved dogs come along with me and get plenty of love, care and affection. There are currently only 2 dogs at the office (one of them is my personal dog) so it is not a chaotic environment. I also have the ability to bring crate dogs at work, if needed, or give them personal space away from other dogs. I am home during the weekends and holidays, and like to get out and spend quality time with my personal dog, such as hiking, swimming, city walks or training in public. I never have more than 3 dogs in my home at a time (one of them being my personal dog). I live in a pet-friendly apartment, with no private back yard but have access to a potty area in the building. There is also a park just across the street. While this depends greatly on the dog, with my personal dog I utilize free-roaming as well as crating in the home. All dogs are treated like family and allowed on furniture, if well-behaved. Structure is important in a multi-dog household so I utilize baby-gates, crating, and separate rooms, if needed. Of course, we also play games, use enrichment feeders/toys and enforce rest time, as needed. I never have more than 3 dogs in my home at a time (one of them being my personal dog).

About: I have experience caring for and training young pets, including helping reinforce routines, basic commands, and good behavior with patience and consistency. I’m very attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means keeping an energetic puppy engaged or making sure a shy pet feels comfortable and safe. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and always try to give them the care, attention, and love they need while their owners are away. I work EST hours and keep a consistent daily routine, which makes it easy for me to plan pet care into my schedule. Dogs naturally become a part of my routine, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just making sure they get attention and companionship throughout the day. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they have plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and a consistent routine while in my care. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and always want them to feel relaxed, cared for, and at home.
About: Most of my experience comes from caring for my own dog and watching friends’ dogs on occasion! My girl loves to play with other dogs so we love when there is another furry companion to join her. I currently work 4 10s during the week, so looking to help out on my day off but mostly weekends! My girl has very high energy, so we take frequent walks and have ample amounts of play time to make sure she’s properly exercised. I personally let my dog roam my apartment when i’m gone but I have crates if your dog is more comfortable with that! I also allow my dog on the sofa and she sleeps in the bed with me at night, which your pup is welcome to do as well. I don’t have a yard but I take my dog out at least three times a day but more than willing to do more if your dog needs!
“Winston was kind and diligent and Toast clearly liked him a lot. He gave detailed updates, made sure she got her meds, and even tidied up after her. I felt like she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend.”

“Joy & Dani are simply lovely people...It's so obvious they love our dogs as much as we do. And it's a relief to be able to leave our fur babies in their care without worry. Their home is fully pet-proofed, warm and welcoming. I'm so happy we found them!”

“Maria is great! She was the first person who was able to make friends with Leeloo so she doesn’t scare 😂 Really appreciate that she had patience and had a chance to play with her. Thank you so much!”

Dana went above & beyond for my furry babies while I was away. Even went as far as going to the store to buy a treat for my cat. Dana’s detailed notes about each visit was greatly appreciated and brought me a lot of comfort knowing what my pets were up to & that they were well taking care of. It is evident that Dana has a lot of love for animals! Best sitter I’ve ever booked.

Amethyst provided the most attentive and loving care for our Miyuki while we were gone. She gave us updates on how she thought Miyuki was feeling and adjusted the environment and her approach to make sure Miyuki was as happy and fulfilled as possible while we were away. She even found out ways that she liked to be petted! Her communication and coordination are fabulous. We will definitely rebook with her when we have to be away again. 💯 Recommend.

Heather is amazing with Obi, who we adopted during Covid. She quickly became our “dog whisperer” and was instrumental in curbing many of his obnoxious behaviors. Socializing him with her dogs and others in his care was so helpful too. We know she cares a great deal for the dogs she cares for and feel confident leaving Obi in her care.

This is my second time booking Rachael, trust she will be my first ask next time I need a pet sitter! Rachael does a wonderful job looking after my sweet kitty, always sends lots of photos, spends plenty of time giving pets, and goes above and beyond making sure my kitty is content while I’m away. Thank you!!

Aubrey did a great job sitting for my 2 cats while I was out of town. She was prompt for every visit and spent time playing with the cats, who clearly had a great time with her. Aubrey shared lots of pictures with me and kept me updated on the cats’ behavior. I will definitely book her again!

Mengyuan is fantastic! She is incredibly punctual and goes above and beyond to spend quality time keeping my cat company rather than just doing a quick check-in. She’s very proactive about spotting any issues right away and letting me know. Highly recommend if you want someone attentive who hangs out with your pet!

Claire was very sweet and accommodating. She made sure my cat was well fed and exercised, ensuring to stay the entire time we booked for! She even helped us out with signage for our maintenance team to access our apartment for service and took out the trash. Would book again :)
