Top rated Totem Lake pet sitters

“Shannon and Jason are the best pet sitters I’ve met. They took care of my kitty very well and did all the feeding, water refreshing and litter cleaning. They care about the customer needs and are willing to commit time and love with your pet. My vacation cannot be that smooth without their help. I definitely recommend Shannon and Jason if you are looking for someone on Rover!”


“Paola had watched our 2 Australian shepherds for 3 days while we were away on a trip and it was the best decision we made! We had specific needs for our dogs that she was able to tailor to perfectly. Paola gave our dogs plenty of attention and even paid attention to certain details, like observing their feces and letting us know if it seemed too soft, whatever it was she would let us know right away. Paola was kind, communicative and obviously very caring towards the dogs. We felt very safe leaving our dogs in good hands while we were away. Totally recommend if you need someone to care for your loved ones!”


“Mike is my cat's adopted uncle. He's so caring, thoughtful, and a great pet sitter. We have never had any issues with trust or communication- im very happy to have met Mike and trust him with my babies”


“Logan is very communicative and responsive! She gives great and thorough daily updates and my kitties look like they are having a blast in the photos. Lots of action shots! No issues with medication administration either.”


“Cory continues to take careful and loving care of my puppy Scout, who can be a handful. I come home to a happy and tired puppy in the evenings. Cory does a great job of letting him run and burn off energy!!”


“Amazing sitter!!! She really cares for your animals like her own and does a spectacular job with detailed notes and communication. The top notch communication really helps put your mind at ease when you’re away. She went above and beyond and we’re so incredibly grateful to have found someone so amazing! Thank you Caroline!! :)”


“Andrea is very in detail and took cared of my dog Azhao very well. Very nice and considerate person with a lot of love. Great service and polite communications through the whole process.”


About: I may not have professional experience caring for animals, but I’ve always felt a deep connection with them. Whenever I’m around dogs, I feel an instant bond—like we’ve known each other for years. Animals seem to naturally gravitate toward me, and I think they can sense how much I care. I’m patient, gentle, and always eager to learn more about how to give pets the best care. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing with their favorite toy, or just keeping them company, I’m fully present and engaged. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with kindness, love, and respect. Even though I’m new to pet sitting, I bring a lot of heart, reliability, and excitement to every opportunity. I’m confident that with time and trust, both pets and their owners will feel comfortable and happy with me I’m currently on summer break and i have nothing to do or planned until august so i hope i make a bit of money until that time so i could be set for the future and my school year I have a Nice big and fenced community park right next to my home, your babies will have the time of their lives in my humble abode, it’s small but it’s full of love and warmth!

“Jess did an awesome job taking care of my cat. She visited daily while my family and I were away on vacation. Each visit, she engaged with our cat, took care of the basics like food/water, and handled some house sitting tasks too like bringing in packages and the mail. She was super communicative and sent tons of great pictures too. Very happy with her work!”


“Candi is amazing! Her updates, photos, and care of cat were perfect. My kitty can be very shy but quickly warmed up to Candi. We felt so at-ease while out of town. We will book her again.”


“Katie is amazing. She's very responsive and it's apparent she truly loves animals. I have had her house sit my dog and do drop ins for my cat. She asks questions, and makes sure she understands exactly what is best for the animal so they get the care they need.”


About: From growing up with two very different dogs, to constantly having cats throughout my life, i am extremely well versed in what it takes to take care of the most important family members. I grew up around bigger dogs, and have raised a couple puppies as well, I know how to keep a dog on track for training and even teach them new skills. as a kid I watched all my neighbors pets as well this included dogs, snakes, cats, fish, and even flying squirrels, so i definitely can handle any pet that needs some love. I also have two adopted cats over the last 5 years, one of which has special needs, so if your animal needs a little more help than most I am well versed in giving medications handling the more difficult furry babies. I am a newly graduated college student, since graduation i have been traveling, but now that summer is coming to an end I'm back on the East side almost full time. Im currently applying for part time positions at various companies, but while i wait to figure out what my full time job will beI would love to watch all the pets I can. Im available almost every day of the week starting around 10am. I am usually spending a lot of my time outside, so i'm always down to take your dog with me on a walk or hike. In my experience with pet sitting, I usually come over multiple times a day to feed and let out the dogs, and prepare wet/ raw food for the cats. depending on what the animals behavior is, Im always down to take a dog on a walk or trow the ball in a local park. if you have energetic cats i will play with them until they are tired, but I'm also good at reading cats and can usually tell when they are done playing, or don't want to be bothered. I also change doggie pads and clean litter boxes when i notice that those chores need to be done.

About: I give 1 on 1 care for each pet I care for. I also encourage your pet throughout the visit. I also work at a doggy care facility where I have exposure to many dogs of all sizes and ages. I already have a tight schedule so I will post my availability on here for when I am able to help care for your baby pooch. After we have established the agreed upon area for walks, I will only work with your dog in that area as to limit any possibilities of anything going wrong.

About: I’ve had dogs at home since I was 12 years old, so I’ve experienced all stages of their lives, from playful puppies to senior care. My dogs lived long, happy lives of 15 years, and today I’m lucky to still have Lola with me. Over the years, I’ve also cared for the pets of family and friends around the world, including both dogs and cats. About a year ago, I visited Seattle and did some pet sitting (TrustedHousesitters app) during my stay and it was a wonderful experience that filled my days with joy. Now I’ve recently moved here and I’d love to start offering pet sitting more regularly. Spending time with them has been one of the most rewarding and grounding parts of my life. I studied film, I’m a photographer, and I love to travel. I run an online creative agency (branding, websites, courses, etc.), so most of my work is remote, which gives me a flexible schedule. That means I can easily make time to walk, play with, or simply keep your pet company while I work. If you need help on a specific weekday or weekend, just let me know, I’m happy to adjust when possible! ❤️ I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine, their favorite foods, walk preferences, little habits, and the ways they love to be shown affection. I want them to feel safe, happy, and completely at home, just like they’re with family. I also trust my intuition when it comes to understanding their needs, especially since I’ve grown up with dogs and have always felt a deep connection with them. As for cats, while I haven't lived with one full time, I’ve spent plenty of time with the cats of friends and family, and I’ve done some cat sitting too. With clear guidance, I’m more than happy to care for them, learn what makes them tick, and give them all the love and attention they need.

“Ellie cared for our pup with great attention to detail. She followed all our directions and bonded well with our dog. She communicated in a timely manner and asked follow up questions when needed. Our pup was well taken care of and Ellie always shared pictures of their time together. Thank you Ellie!”


“Macy did a great job caring for my two cats! They got plenty of snuggles and playtime, which is exactly what they needed. She was prompt with responding to messages, feeding, changing water, and cleaning their litter boxes regularly. I highly recommend working with Macy and will definitely book with her again in the future! Thanks again, Macy!”
