“Alex is amazing, and Akira loves her! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a one-time or regular dog walker. I’ll be booking her again 😊”

About: I've taken care of my own, friends, family and strangers pets since I was eight. From Guinea pigs to snakes to horses and dogs, I've never met an animal I didnt respect and love. Experience feeding, cleaning and caring for all types of animals. I am working part-time with a flexible schedule and have plenty of time to take care of your precious animals! I have capacity on all days of the week and am quick to respond. I have a secure 1 bedroom apartment with a private rooftop dog park. I live in Ballard near many dog parks and have done house sitting before, trusting your pets and loving area with respect and care.

About: I have taken care of dogs and Guinea pigs ever since I was in high school. I will follow your instructions down to the letter and treat your pets like my own. I am particularly good with old dogs, as I took care of one that lived on-campus at my university. I work from home, so I will be very attentive to all of your pet's needs! I have plenty of time to take care of and play with your dogs as I work from my house! I am available most days and nights for pet-sitting; I will just need to be notified ahead of time to make sure I have your dog's schedule detailed for my weekly plans. I can care for your pets however you would like in your own home. I prefer to pet-sit at the client's home rather than my own as I do not have a yard in Seattle and I have my Guinea pigs living in my room. However, if they do stay overnight at my house, my neighbourhood is very safe for any nightly walks and bathroom needs and I can adjust my schedule to suit your dog's needs.

“Margaret was wonderful meeting our dogs and learning about their care. Very appreciated how attentive she was to listening to their instructions and asking questions of her own. Looking forward to having her watch them again soon!”

“Stacey is super communicative and kind, and great with our extra-sniffy Lab. We just moved to the area and are so happy to have someone great in the area we can rely on!”

Colleen M.

“James was punctual, communicative, and proactive in asking questions to better understand Ali’s needs. He also kept us updated on how the walk went, which we really appreciated. We had a great first experience and look forward to working with James again!”

Helen & Erin L.

“Maria was great! She showed up on time every day and sent photos and updates of my dog's walks. He looked happy, and I'm glad he got to get outside during my work day. I'll definitely be booking with her again.”

Helen L.

“Katie was great! She arrived on time and was great with communicating. She included pictures of the walk and gave detail about her visit. Will ask Katie to walk my dogs again. Thanks so much! Highly recommend!”

“Very communicative and responsible; takes the time to make sure my pup gets in a great walk, all her things are put back, and water bowl is refilled (important with this heat!) - happy to have Ben as our walker!”

About: All proceeds from my services will be donated to the Seattle Humane and the Tibetan Mastiff Rescue, Inc. I work from home. So if your dog loves jumping on conference calls and busting out slide decks, he or she is in a treat. But we will for sure take a few breaks, go for a run by the lake or a visit to the coffee shop. Of course, if it rains, we will be glued to Planet Earth. On the weekends, your pal will most likely succumb to my obsession with the outdoors. We will be hiking, camping, and take a road trip to somewhere nice and scenic. A little bit about me as a sitter: Our furriends always wittingly test the new guy. We will communicate beforehand so I won't be taken as a sucker. I am very mindful about bad habits, so you can trust me with your invested training. I am also very cautious on walks, so your pup won't pick up things he or she should not have in their mouth. Having had dealt with long stints of medical issues with my best friend, I am also practiced with feeding medicines and caring for our healing canine friends. Last, I love big dogs and I cannot lie. Big dogs always take my heart. Message me if you have questions. See you soon neighbors. I work from home. On the days that I'm not traveling, my schedule is quite flexible. Having a fur boss it's a good way to make sure I'm not overly consumed with my desk job. Your dog will share the modern amenities of a two-bedroom one-bath apartment in the heart of Ballard. I wipe down the paws when returning from an outing.

About: I have experience since childhood with walking, feeding and teaching desired behaviors with treats and positive reinforcement. Within the last two years, I can bathe and crate-train as well. My schedule is completely open, I work my own hours and can adjust according to your pet's needs. I will be quick to communicate if there are any unforseen changes with multiple day's notice. I'm very patient with animals and happy to accommodate any special needs your pet might have (frequent potty breaks, putting on sweaters before walks, crate-training, etc).

“Courtney is great! Self sufficient and attention to detail. Excited to continue working with her!”

“Joslyn is awesome!!!”

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I regularly walked dogs and pet sat for neighbors, gaining experience caring for pets of all different personalities and energy levels. Later in life, I was a proud cat dad and beagle dad for many years. Having been a pet parent myself, I understand just how much our animals mean to us and how important it is to know they're in good hands. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means going on long walks, playing outside, or just relaxing on the couch with a furry friend. I'm an active, outdoorsy person who loves hiking and exploring, so I'm always happy to give energetic pups plenty of exercise and attention. At the same time, I'm just as happy providing a calm, comfortable environment for pets who prefer a slower pace. I miss having pets of my own, and I'm excited for the opportunity to share that love and affection with yours! My goal is to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. I'm new to the Seattle area and currently have plenty of free time and flexibility in my schedule! I do other part-time work that allows me to set my own hours, so it's easy for me to plan my days around pet sitting, walks, and drop-in visits. Whether your pet needs some company during the workday, a regular walking buddy, or extra attention while you're away, I'm happy to accommodate a variety of schedules. One of the things I'm most excited about as I settle into the area is making some new furry friends, and I'd love to make caring for your pets a regular part of my routine! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! As a former dog and cat parent myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I gave my own, while respecting their individual personalities, routines, and needs. Whether I'm stopping by for a visit, taking your pup on a walk, or staying in your home, I do my best to keep your pets feeling safe, comfortable, and loved. I always follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to exercise routines and any special care requirements. On walks, I'm attentive to my surroundings, use secure leashes, and prioritize your dog's safety over anything else. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I understand that I'm also being trusted with your home. I'll always treat your space with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure everything is secure when I leave. I'm also happy to send regular photo updates and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands! Above all, I want your pets to feel like they're spending time with a trusted friend, not a stranger. Whether that means an exciting walk, some energetic playtime, or simply a little extra love and companionship, I'm happy to give them the love and care that they need!

About: Hi! I currently use the app called Trusted Housesitters to connect with pet parents in need of house sitting or boarding. This has allowed me to travel the world, meeting the most incredibly open-hearted people and of course, I've met about two dozen amazing furry friends along the way. I love getting to know each animal's unique personality: what sets them apart, and why their owners fall so deeply in love with them. I'm an active gal myself- so it's a match made in heaven. I've been an owner of both cats and dogs for most of my life, so I'm delighted to be able to offer my time and care to those who find their own time running short. I'm currently without traditional employment, happily so. I use the app Trustedhouse sitters and prioritize long stays in my favorite parts of the world. Right now I am home- (I am a Washington state native, grew up in Federal Way, hello!) Meanwhile, I do have extra time on my hands and I want to meet more floppy-eared hooligans who are energetic like me. I have my own car and bicycle and depending on the need I would use either or both to fit the responsibility. I am a deeply responsible and detail-oriented person. I run my life by calendar appointment. I am cautious and wary, and I cherish the responsibility that is offered when someone opens their home and their heart to me as a stranger. It's what I love about pet sitting and homesetting, and I aim to leave a deeply positive impression to everyone that I interact with. It's not just walking. It's trust, it's responsibility, it's showing up reliably: easing pet parent's burden by providing enrichment and exercise. When I was more classically employed I was a group fitness instructor- so, basically providing that same service to pets now.

About: Hi! I started pet and house sitting for family friends back in high school, but things really took off my freshman year at UW. Living in a tiny dorm with two roommates, I started booking sits on Rover for a little extra space—and ended up finding a job I absolutely loved. I continued pet sitting throughout college and even did it full time for six months after graduating. Over the years, I’ve cared for so many pets that I’ve genuinely lost track! Big dogs, tiny dogs, seniors, and reactive pets—I’ve seen it all and always tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. I work remotely, which means I can be with your pet around the clock. Whether your pet needs lots of attention, frequent walks, or just someone nearby for comfort, I’ve got them covered. I also take caring for your home seriously. I know how nice it is to come home to a clean space after traveling, and I go out of my way to keep things tidy. Some families have even asked me to come back later just as their house cleaner! I treat every pet and home like my own and always aim to give pet parents complete peace of mind while they’re away 🐾 I work remotely for a Seattle based nonprofit, so I’m able to be with your pet all day and give them plenty of attention, walks, and care! Clear communication is the foundation of how I care for pets and homes. I always follow instructions closely and make sure I fully understand each pet’s routine, needs, and preferences before care begins. If you let me know what needs to be done, I will make sure it happens. I take my work seriously and pride myself on being dependable, responsible, and attentive to both pets and their environments!

“Elise is wonderful! They have been so communicative on their walks with my pup, Shortcake, and they have been very punctual. Not only do I trust Elise with Shortcake, I think Shorty has a lot of fun on their walks.”

About: Growing up with numerous cats and dogs, I have many years experience caring for multiple breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments of all kinds. Specifically caring for large (90+) 🦭Pitbull / German Shepherd mixes as well as smaller and very energetic Aussie mixes. 😪 I also have experience applying and administering medication to dogs / cats. Would love to sit with your cats and care for your animals throughout Ballard I work from home and have extreme flexibility in my schedule throughout the day. I can come by and care for your fur children at any point during the morning afternoon or evening. If housesitting, I would require acces to your Wi-Fi for the duration of the stay. I am a corporate trainer and conduct a lot of video calls for my work. I live in an apartment with no yard. I can take your pup to a park and on long walks. Play fetch and smell all the smells!

“Justin helped take care of our dog while we were away. Our dog is reactive and Justin did a great job of meeting his needs. Justin was communicative and responded to any questions we had. We would definitely use Justin again!”

About: I grew up on a farm and have always had love for animals. I have a pet bunny named Pumpkin who I love dearly! But I miss being around the adorable and high energy dogs and cats. I know from experience that each animal has its own unique personality and to adjust care based on their needs. I promise to treat your furry babies with just as much love as I show my own! I'm currently free mornings and afternoons Sat-Tue, and evenings Wed-Fri. My schedule does change from time to time however so please feel free to still message just in case! Willing to take last min bookings! I have a pet bunny at home, so I won't be able to have any animals stay with me. This does however leave me open for quick drop ins and/or long stays with your fur babies. Plus they will have my full attention!
