Yesenia is amazing. This is our first time leaving our cat after we got her from the streets, so we're a bit reluctant, but Yesenia gave us updates every single time. We'll definitely ask Yesenia again next time

Luis is my number one choice for holding things down with my furry crew when I travel. He is a kind and communicative person who spends quality time with my kitties, and makes sure they have all the food and water and fresh litter they could possibly need every day. I’m grateful for him!

About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and around 4 years of experience caring for cats. Over the years, I’ve helped care for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I genuinely enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. In addition to dogs and cats, I also have experience caring for turtles, hamsters, and guinea pigs, so I’m comfortable with a variety of animals and their specific care needs. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise, cleanliness, and giving pets the attention and patience they deserve. Friends, family, and people close to me have trusted me to care for their pets because I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every animal like family. I understand how important pets are, and I always aim to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I also provide regular photo and video updates so pet parents can feel reassured knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. I’m currently a full-time college student, so I have a flexible schedule outside of classes and spend a lot of my time caring for my own kitten every day. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m dependable, organized, and able to make time throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and giving pets attention and care while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I make sure pets always have fresh water, clean food bowls, and a clean environment. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, routines, and any instructions provided by the owner to make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and bathroom breaks when needed. After walks or playtime, I like rewarding pets with treats (if approved by the owner) and making sure they feel relaxed and safe. I treat every pet like family and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while away.

About: From a young age, I've had a special bond with dogs. My parents took in neighborhood samoyeds and newfoundlands that had been abandoned by their owners. I grew up with them, trained them, did my best to make sure their home was loving. Since my neighbors knew I was good with large dogs, I frequently dog sat for them. I quickly became an expert in leash technique, engaging play, making sure they were fed right, and just plain being there for them. I don't have any dogs right now (my apartment is way too small) but I know I'll meet that special fluffy guy when I get a bigger place. I'm available nearly all the time, as I'm not currently working and am only doing occasional volunteering in the Bitter Lake/Greenwood/Shoreline area. I have the availability of a tireless assistant! I believe in respecting a dog's boundries while also being very mindful of their needs. From years of experience I've learned to find the proper balance and give the dog the best experience possible.

About: As a dog owner for 14 years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including seniors who need extra patience and attention. I genuinely love dogs and will treat your pet with the same care and affection I would my own. I currently work full-time 3 days/week in-person. I’m available to walk or sit on my off days. Just a heads up my availability can vary week to week I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I respect their space and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to ensure every pet feels loved, secure, and well cared for.

About: Hello there, tho my professional experience is low, I've have grown up with pets since I was young and walking my dogs has always been my favorite part of my responsibilities as a pet owner.

Help me on my journey to becoming a better pet taker by entrusting me with your pet as we get plenty of fresh air and exercise. I am available early mornings to just before noon on week days Sunday through thrusday. Fridays I have more free time as well as Saturdays I live in a first floor apartment with fences all around, my neighbor upstairs has a dog but is really friendly and can get along with other dogs.

About: I have a huge animal-less hole in my heart to fill!! I always grew up with a dog and a cat in our home: a German shepherd, Jasmine, then a Welsh terrier, Rex, and kitties Madeline, and Isabel. While I mostly took on the play duties with the pets, I began my pet-sitting journey in elementary school watching my neighbors' cats when they were away and, eventually dogs and cats of my high school friends. Since starting my pet-sitting journey, I have done drop-in visits, dog walking, and house-sitting. I love spending time outdoors, whether at a park, on a walk, or in your backyard! It's important for me to provide gentle love to pets while also abiding by the training they follow. I have cared for up to two animals at a time which is what I feel most comfortable and confident in! I'm not afraid to pull up my sleeves and take care of sh*t (literally!) I loooove taking pictures and will always share pics with your little babies, maybe even a little photo shoot :) I am an entrepreneur growing a Pilates and Wellness business! I have the luxury to create my own schedule and make time for your babies! When visiting someone else's home, I have very high respect for the space I am in. I leave places I have been cleaner than I found them and take care of the home I am in. It’s important to me for your four legged friends to feel safe and comfortable as if you were there all along.

About: Had many pups in my life, I've said my goodbyes, however I still give back by taking care of yours. I know they mean lots and I know each and every one of them has a unique personality which I tend to. I am very adaptable to your pups needs and will understand them to the best of my ability to make sure they enjoy my company while you are gone 😁. Unless I am booked, I am available all 24 hours of the day. Always have the peace of mind that your pup is being cared for no matter the day or the time. I have 2 fenced-in yards, have most pet necessities in home, neighbors/house residents are very dog friendly. Very safe trustworthy environment for your pup to ensure your peace of mind for their boarding.

About: I’ve take care of my friend’s dog while she’s away for traveling. My responsibilities included ensuring frequent and timely potty breaks and managing his high energy levels through structured play and walks. I strictly adhered to his feeding routine and followed all specific care instructions provided by my friend. This experience reinforced my ability to be responsible, attentive, and consistent, confirming my passion for providing reliable care for dogs. I am confident in my skills to adapt to any dog’s individual needs and maintain their comfort and routine while their owners are away. I‘m available before 9 AM in the morning and after 6 PM in the afternoon during weekdays. I’m available during weekends. I’m usually available during holidays because I’m more of a homebody and not traveling very often. I will record and memorize every specific detail and note of caution provided by the client. I treat all these key pieces of information as the main care guideline.

Calvin was an amazing pet sitter and we will absolutely book with them again. He was very responsive, asked specific questions about our pets that showed his experience, and was incredibly easy to work with. It was clear that Calvin took the time to get to know our two cats and their personalities. His summaries and the pictures made us feel so much better about leaving for several days in a row. I highly recommend Monica and Calvin to anyone who wants a worry free vacation away from their fur children.

I have guinea pigs and I needed someone to spot clean their cage while I was on vacation. First of all, Anisha has great energy. She is super kind and friendly, and she is very professional with clear communication skills. When I came back from my trip, I saw she went above and beyond and deep cleaned the cage, which I didn't ask for. I greatly appreciate her dedication in taking care of my girls, and will definitely ask her again for help!
