“Yue Yue (Sammy) has done a wonderful job caring for our two cats, Fitzgerald and Hemingway. She is very communicative, writes thorough notes of her visits, and takes several adorable photos of meal and play time. Our cats appear to feel safe and comfortable with her (and they can be picky!) It is great to have peace of mind that they are being well cared for when we cannot be there. :)”


“Alison was excellent! She is kind, responsible, helpful and we will definitely book her again. She followed all our instructions and went above and beyond them. Thank you for watching our cats!”


“Laxmi was amazing as always! Our very anxious cat always feels so comfortable with her and Laxmi makes it a point to send us adorable pictures and was also very flexible on the time and duration of sitting which we greatly appreciated!”


“Marianna did a great job looking after my two cats. She left detailed notes about her time checking on them and was very communicative with me when needed! I was grateful to have her updates and photos throughout the course of my trip.”


“Charles did a great job with my cat Mazie! He was communicative via text and updated me with photos of Mazie each day. She was feeling particularly shy and didn't come out of hiding much, but Charles made sure she had company.”


“Martha did a fantastic job dropping in on our puppy! As a shy dog, Martha was amazing at going at our puppy's pace and not overwhelming her. We felt very comfortable leaving our house and Owie in Martha's care and would highly recommend her.”


“Jessica was fantastic! We arranged for her to do some 1 hour drop in visits. She was very responsive and easy to coordinate with. She came by around a week before the first session to meet our cat and go through everything that needed to be done. She was very friendly, asked great questions, understood quickly what needed to be done, and was very respectful of the rules of our place. Our kitten also warmed up to her quite quickly over her visits, which was great. She provided a nice detailed report from each of her visits as well as some nice pictures, and everything went really well. I would highly recommend Jessica and we'd go with her again!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for 8 years with a loving and gentle touch. I can walk dogs, feed them, and give them baths to keep them happy and healthy. Pets quickly warm up to me, and I always treat them like part of my own family. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a curious kitten, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I care for pets every day with love and patience. I walk them, feed them, and play with them, making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I always keep pets safe, clean, and comfortable. I follow the owner’s wishes, watch them carefully, and give them a warm, friendly place where they can relax and feel at home.

About: I’m a cat mom to a needy orange tabby. I also had a bunny for many years. I will help your fur baby feel all the love on your behalf! I have flexible schedule over the weekend and when I work from home. Drop in visits in the evening will work perfectly for me too. I will wear shoe coverage when entering your home, carry out all the chores first and then dedicating the rest of my time to play with your fur baby. I will make sure to take care of them like how I want my own cat to be treated by another sitter <3

About: Hi, I’m Kimberly! I’ve cared for animals my entire life—starting with family pets as a kid and continuing into adulthood. I’m that person who always stops to say hi to dogs on the street and offers treats to the neighbor’s pup. While now isn’t the right time for me to have a dog of my own, I’d love nothing more than to care for yours like family. What sets me apart from other sitters? It’s the genuine joy I get from spending time with animals, plus decades of hands-on experience. I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs—puppies who need patience and training, seniors who need a gentle touch, and everything in between. Whether your pup needs active play, calm companionship, or special attention, I adapt to their personality and needs. I only care for one pet at a time, which means your dog gets my full attention, personalized care, and a stress-free environment that feels like home. My home is a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space, and I treat every dog like they’re my own—with lots of love, belly rubs, and safety first. You can count on timely updates, adorable photos, and honest communication every step of the way. Let’s give your dog their next favorite staycation! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because animals are a top priority in my day-to-day life. I work in the office Tuesday through Thursday, but I make sure every pet in my care gets a walk or bathroom break first thing in the morning and again as soon as I get home. Most weekday evenings, I do step out for about an hour to go to the gym, but otherwise, I’m home and available for plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles. I’m fully available Friday through Monday, which allows for a more flexible, hands-on schedule—perfect for pets that need extra attention or time outside. Whether it’s a relaxing weekend with a senior pup or a full-on playdate with an energetic cat or dog, I’m ready and excited to provide loving care tailored to their needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities—whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where routines are respected and every animal is treated like family. For dog stays, I’m lucky to have a green space and dog park just a 5-minute walk from my home, making potty breaks and playtime easy, safe, and consistent. I always use a secure leash and harness system and never take chances when it comes to your dog’s safety outdoors. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to maintaining your pet’s routine exactly as you’ve outlined. I make sure they feel secure and seen—even the shy ones! Whether your pet needs medications, enrichment, or just some quiet companionship, you can count on me for thoughtful, attentive care. Clear communication, reliability, and trust are the foundation of how I work. I’ll keep you updated with notes and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands.

“Helen did a great job taking care of our kitten! Helen came by beforehand to meet the kitten, and then did a daily 1 hour drop in visits to take care of the kitten (litter box, food, play, brushing). Helen did a great job! I would recommend her.”


About: My boyfriend Daniel and I have taken care of many dogs of various breeds, providing services like feeding, walking, playing, simple training. We love dogs so much and can’t wait to have our own when we settle down. In the meanwhile, we’ll treat your dog like our own fur baby. We’ve also fostered many shelter rescue cats. Some are friendly, many are shy or even depressed/traumatized. We loved and helped socialize them all - feeding, scooping, brushing, playing, clipping nails and even defleaing and bathing. Above all else, We are responsible, detail-oriented, communicative and responsive. We only take one client at a time to ensure enough attention for your pets when they’re away from you. We are dedicated to providing the care your pet needs. I work a day job with flexible hours from home. We live a 5-min walk to a park. I love the outdoors, running, hiking, on weekends and can bring your pet if needed. We have a very large apartment and no other pets or children. We’re good at following instructions meticulously. I’ll send regular videos/pics so you know how your pet is doing.

Qianhui is responsible, attentive, and always makes sure pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Yiran helped us take care of our Shiba Inu, Mocha, for a few days when she visited Seattle this summer, and we couldn’t have been happier. She’s so kind and gentle with dogs and knows how to interact with them in a thoughtful and caring way. Mocha warmed up to her right away! On walks, she handled Mocha really well and knew how to guide him when meeting other dogs. At home, she spent lots of time playing and interacting with him, which made Mocha feel comfortable and happy. We felt totally at ease leaving Mocha in her care. Yiran is responsible, patient, and genuinely loves dogs — I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

Jingyao L.
“Jingyao is a very responsible and caring individual who truly enjoys spending time looking after dogs and cats. The first time I traveled overseas for 3 weeks and needed someone to look after Bruno and Emma, my 9 yo bulldog and 3 yo Maine coon, I was extremely reluctant to leave them behind. However, I soon turned to Jingyao as I knew she had significant experience with family pets, and volunteering at animal shelters. I would highly recommend Jingyao to anyone who is looking for piece of mind by engaging with an experienced and friendly petsitter and companion, who will ensure that their pets are happy and given the attention they deserve.”
