Alex was eager to hear how they can make my kitty feel loved and comfortable and was even willing to watch him eat when he wanted 😂 my home was immaculate when I got back and my kitty didn’t seem excited to see me when I got home cause he was so well taken care of. Will def book Alex again.”


“Katie was an amazing pet sitter. She made me feel so comfortable leaving my animals with her. She sent me pics and videos that was so cool. She kept my house very clean. She even crochet us a taco. Love that. The best thing she texted us to make sure we came home safe. Would definitely recommend her to everyone.”

Highly recommend them!”

Highly recommend Anam to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and trustworthy sitter!”

About: I always had pets around me growing up. We had a horse in our backyard as a kid. My parents were fond of Old English Sheepdogs and we always had a variation or two around. The best time was when they had puppies! There were always cats who walked freely in our backyard and came by for treats. When I move to the city, I always had cat friends. I often got to cat sit for them when they would go out of town. My neighbor’s cat in our Manhattan brownstone, spent more time in my apartment than hers because she preferred my window view. I have no pets now because my husband of many years, is all allergic to everything: bird, dander, cat, and dog hair, even Live cut Christmas tree trees! Now, my substitute teaching job has allowed me time to spend with pets. This is why I would be happy to take care of your cat and dog whenever you need pet care. I have been a substitute teacher for the past five years and am planning a hiatus from teaching. I plan to devote my days to helping my kids get to school and taking care of pets. Being a freelancer has taught me many things: how to adapt to new situations, be flexible with schedule changes and how to manage my time productively. I have taken care of cats for friends who have been out of town or country for long periods. I drive and can easily walk to or from a large section of my neighborhood.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience as a dog owner, walker, and pet sitter. I’ve cared for multiple large pit bull mixes of my own and spent two years volunteering at the Spokane Humane Society, working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve also provided overnight care for a special needs dog, including administering medication and ensuring comfort and safety. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or special care, I’m committed to giving every pet the love and attention they deserve. As someone who works from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available after 4 PM on weekdays and have open availability on weekends, making it easy for me to provide flexible, reliable care for your pets when you need it most. When caring for pets in their own homes, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment. With experience working with shelter animals, I’ve learned to read a dog’s temperament well and always take things at their pace. I prioritize safety for both the animal and myself, and I’m comfortable providing overnight care to ensure pets receive consistent, round-the-clock attention and companionship.

Amy S.Star Sitter
“Dear Rover, My name is Tony and I would like you to know that Amy is a very capable, loving, and intelligent person. When she comes to visit us she always helps to walk our dogs, Sally and ZuZu. They love her very much. Amy knows the rules of the road and understands how to stay safe and protect dogs from traffic dangers. As a marathon runner this knowledge of how to stay safe on the road is paramount. Amy understands how fragile the environment is, how to be a good neighbor, and how important it is to clean up after the dogs she walks. I believe that any potential client could confidently use Amy as their dog walker. Sincerely, Tony Crumly”
