Pet Sitting in Tukwila

“Robin was absolutely amazing! She was respectful of our home, incredibly responsive, and always checked in and out on time. She showered our cat with love—playing with him, snuggling him, and sending us daily photo updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. When he didn’t come home on time one day, she even returned later to make sure he was safe—truly going above and beyond. We were able to fully enjoy our holiday knowing he was in such caring hands. Highly recommend Robin!”

“Mary was absolutely amazing!! Took such good care of my kitty and spent more time than needed, but wanted to ease my two fearful kitty who got to know her and love her well I will definitely have her help again when I leave home. She was great!”

“Our first time using Rover and Mckenzie was great. Arrived on time, spent extra time taking care of our boys. Provided photos and a detailed report of the visit. Thank you Mckenzie! Much appreciated.”

“Kizzie was very professional. Came to meet all our cats and get a breakdown of medications, feeding, and play. Took very thorough notes and kept close contact to ensure everything was up to date. Kizzie went the extra mile several times when things didn't go totally as planned. Highly recommend and will book again.”

“Brooklin is truly the best. She was incredibly helpful and flexible during booking. While we were gone, she took absolutely amazing care of our kitties, sent frequent and thorough updates, and went above and beyond to ensure that they were happy and healthy the whole time! She even brought over fans to help keep them cool during a heat wave. Hands down the best pet sitter we’ve ever used and I can’t recommend her enough.”

Rebecca G.

“Arin took good care of our cat while we were away, I loved her updates. Would recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Alex — lifelong animal lover, with over 10 years of experience in the pet care industry full-time pet caregiver, and the proud human behind a cozy dog-friendly home in Seattle. I’m here to give your dog a safe, fun, and relaxing place to stay while you’re away, with plenty of one-on-one attention and thoughtful care. Dogs in my home have full access to both indoor and outdoor spaces, including a fully fenced ⅓ acre yard where they can sniff, explore, and play freely. They’re welcome on couches and beds (because let’s be honest — they deserve it), and I provide comfy elevated beds or crates upon request for naps and downtime. Your pup’s comfort is always a priority. I host up to 5 dogs at a time to ensure each one receives quality care and attention. I accept small to large breeds (depending on temperament and compatibility), as well as puppies and senior dogs. I’m also experienced with shy, anxious pups — they’ll find a calm and understanding environment here. Each day includes: • 3+ hours of active play (fetch, running, one-on-one games) • Scent work & enrichment to keep minds sharp • Mental stimulation & puzzle games • Walks and river access during low tide (with owner’s permission!) • Rest time, soft beds, and even homemade snacks for extra love • Optional training support if your pup is working on skills • Optional basic training support or structured sessions upon request I’m home 24/7 — your dog is never left alone — and I provide 2–3 daily updates with photos and videos. You’re also welcome to message or call anytime; I want you to feel completely at ease while your pup is with me. My home is full of love, calm energy, and outdoor fun. Dogs aren’t just visitors here — they’re part of the family. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐶 Daily Schedule 5:00 AM – 10:00 AM 🚪 Drop-Off Window 🌿 Potty break + free play in the yard 👋 Welcome sniff session for early arrivals 🥣 Light breakfast/snack (if needed or provided by owner) 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM 🎾 Active Play & Social Time – Fetch, chase, tug-of-war, running games – Supervised group play & ball time 💦 Water & rest breaks between bursts of play 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM 🧠 Mental Stimulation & Enrichment – Scent games, puzzle toys, basic training (if requested) – Quiet one-on-one time for cuddles or brushing 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM 😴 Rest & Nap Time – Indoor relaxation with soft music – Access to elevated beds or cozy crates (if preferred) 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM 🌳 Walk or River Playtime (weather & tide permitting) – Short neighborhood walk – Optional supervised swimming (with owner approval) 🍪 Homemade snack time after play 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM 🐾 Gentle Play & Wind-Down Time – Soft toys, slow games, low-energy engagement 📸 Photo update sent to pet parents 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM 🚪 Pick-Up Window – Calm goodbyes, water refills, light clean-up 📦 Send home any toys, beds, or leftover food 📝 Final update to owner (if not sent earlier) In my home, pets receive thoughtful, personalized care in a safe and relaxed environment. I only take a small number of dogs at a time so each one gets the individual attention they need. My home has a calm, cozy energy with free access to a large, fully fenced ⅓-acre yard where dogs can explore, play, and relax throughout the day. Each pup enjoys a balance of structured and free playtime, including enrichment activities like scent work, basic training (if requested), fetch, and mental stimulation games. I also offer homemade treats, quiet rest periods with comfy elevated beds, and optional swimming during low tide (within my property, with owner approval). Dogs are welcome to bring their own beds, toys, or anything that makes them feel at home. I’m home 24/7, so pets are never left alone, and I provide 2–3 daily updates with photos and messages. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, or any special care instructions. If I’m caring for a pet in the client’s home, I aim to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I respect their space completely and make sure their pet feels safe, seen, and cared for. Each visit includes fresh food and water, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, light cleaning (if needed), and lots of affection. I’m also happy to water plants, bring in mail, or help with other small tasks while you’re away. No matter where I care for your pet, my goal is always the same: to provide loving, reliable, and attentive care so both you and your pet feel completely at ease.

“Kaitlyn was amazing! She took Great care of my girls while I was away. I love that she updated me daily with pictures and stories about how the girls were doing. I love the details that she would give me about what girls were interested in playing games everyday and who would rather just chirp for attention. Definitely trust and recommend her to take care of your fur babies.”

About: Hello! I was zookeeper of reptiles and amphibians at a zoo for almost 6 years and now work as a veterinary assistant at a veterinary clinic here in Seattle. I have a cat, a dog, and a snake of my own and I love them dearly. I am experienced in animal care of many species. I have cared for dogs, cats, snakes, birds, and more. As a veterinary assistant, I am comfortable giving meds and managing old, frail, or special needs animals. I’d also love to hang out with your new kittens and puppies of course. Don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you have! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry (or scaly or feathered) friends!! My schedule is in flux at the moment. Please let me know when you need pet sitting and hopefully I can make it work. My schedule will be more solid soon when I start the new job. I can’t take pets into my home as my dog is sensitive to other new dogs or cats. I am happy to come to your place of residence to care for your pets and walk them around your neighborhood. I can also use my car to bring them to parks, trails, etc if you feel comfortable with me doing so.

“Besides a misunderstanding regarding litter box cleaning that wasn’t done, Alexis provided care for my two cats while I was gone. I got a photo each visit, which was a nice check in.”

About: What truly sets me apart is my calm, steady presence and my firm but kind temperament — pets pick up on our energy, and I strive to create a safe, relaxed, and positive environment for every animal in my care. Whether I’m reassuring a nervous rescue, setting gentle boundaries for an excitable pup, or coaxing a shy kitty out for treats and snuggles, I approach every situation with patience, and warmth. I believe in treating every pet like family, learning their individual routines, preferences, and quirks so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry companions and give them the care and attention they deserve! Since I work from home, pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I’m able to attend to their needs as they arise and provide plenty of attention, potty breaks and walks throughout the day — not just during quick check-ins. I am available to care for your pet in my home or your home depending on the service requested. Whether in my home or yours, I will feed your pet according to their feeding schedule, provide fresh water at all times, engage in play with them and clean up after them. In my home I am able to provide a quiet, peaceful, pet-friendly environment with a large fenced in yard to run around in. Inside I love to draw the blinds and give pets a cozy spot by the window to sunbathe while watching the people, pets and wildlife pass by. It is my motto to leave a space better than you left it so while in your home I will not only follow all routines and procedures as needed but I also like to tidy up after the animals and provide photo updates to put you at ease.

About: Hi there, my name is Sarah and I love taking care of small dogs and cats! **I require all new clients to book a 1-2 day trial stay before booking more than a 5+ boarding stay in our home. I do not accept last minute requests for new clients, but will accept last minute requests for my regular clients at this time.** I have prior experience with taking care of two toy breed yorkshire terriers growing up and have always been a dependable and reliable caregiver for friends and family that own small dogs and also cats. I had my own fur baby 5lb pomeranian pup that I raised her from being a puppy until she was four years old and she passed away in 2023 due to MUE. She was the love of my life. 🌈 😔 As an ex-puppy mom, I miss having to take care of my own and would love to spend time with your pet and treat them with lots of attention, cuddles and playtime. If my requirements seem strict, it’s because I genuinely adore small dogs and want to ensure they are comfortable, supported, and thriving during their stay with us. As a former dog owner, I know firsthand the anxiety of leaving your beloved pet with someone else, and I want to put your mind at ease by making sure we're the perfect match for your pup before committing to extended boarding. If you’re a dog parent who truly cares about your pet’s well-being and quality of stay, I hope this message resonates with you. I’m committed to building strong relationships with pet parents who value their dog's happiness and want a reliable sitter who follows instructions and maintains a consistent home routine to help ease any anxiety. During the week day I work a part time position outside of my home and only can do dog boarding on the weekends. Given my schedule, I’m unable to provide constant care for elderly or high-needs dogs at this time. However, I'm more than happy to shower your dog with love and attention by playing with their favorite toys and taking them on evening walks. Since I'm an illustrator, I often have virtual meetings and design work to handle during the day, so I can only accommodate dogs that are calm and low-maintenance. In the evenings, my husband and I wind down by watching a show and heading to bed by 10 p.m. as he leaves for work at 5 a.m. I require meet and greets where we can go over care instructions and ensure your pet is friendly and well-behaved and house trained. I do send out an intake form that I require to be filled out prior to our meet and greet. Here is a breakdown of my services I currently offer and what you can expect during your pet’s visit: Each visit I provide 4-12 photos and 1-2 videos. Boarding: Ideal for 1 animal under 10lb, my home offers a fully fenced yard in the back and a partially fenced yard in the front for potty breaks. I require all dogs to have been crate trained and require all dogs to have a crate of their own or a small space or bed when they stay at our house. We do not supply any pet beds or crates and do not have stairs to go on the couch nor in our home. My husband and I have no children or pets and live in a 1-story 800 sq ft rambler style home. We have lots of rugs since we have wood floors and a cozy fireplace to lay next to during the winter. In the afternoon and evenings, me and/or my husband are home to ensure your furbaby gets lots of cuddles, affection and playtime including playing with their favorite toy, fetch, and going on evening walks. Please ensure your pet is up-to-date on all of their vaccinations, treated for fleas/tick prevention before arriving. 30 minute Drop-in Visits: Ideal for 1-2 animals, in this time I will put out fresh food and water, potty breaks, and spend the rest of the time offering cuddles, affection and lots of playtime with your furbaby. 60 minute Drop-in Visits: Ideal for 1-2 animals, in this time I will put out fresh food and water, potty breaks, clean litter boxes, and ensuring lots of affection, cuddles and playtime. If you have any special requests I’m happy to accommodate 😊 If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to ask!

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a kid. I’ve fed, bathed, walked, and played with them. Additionally, I know the tricks to administer medicine to them. I am self-employed, so I can easily arrange my schedule to take care of your pet and give them all the love and attention they might need. When caring for pets in a client's home, I ensure secure access, double-check safety measures, and end the service responsibly. I ensure your pet has everything they need at all times.

About: I have had a dog since I was a child who unfortunately died of old age. I love all pets and can’t get enough of them. To me, it’s more than a job, it’ll be a delight to host your pet at my home I work remotely most of the week and usually am home 24/7. I will be a great accommodater to most of your schedule needs, and your reliable support when you need to be out of town! Dogs are allowed on most furnitures, cats are allowed in bed if they wish! I am a great communicator and will send you photos periodically to ensure your knowledge on the whereabouts of your pet!

“Elke did an excellent job caring for my two old and sick kitties. She was kind and patient at coming up with multiple ways to pill my old male kitty who is new to his meds. I highly recommend Elke for your pets, she is top notch.”

About: I have been a pet owner since I was a child (cats, dogs, hamsters, etc.) and I have a certification in Animal Massage Therapy. I am patient and caring toward all furry friends! I am very comfortable with practicing obedience commands (as parents wish) and have a strong intuition for an animal's wants and needs. I am currently working part time and am home a lot. I have two dogs and a cat of my own that get all of the pets, walks, and yard time they need. Our pets are like our children, and are a priority in our day-to-day. I am adaptable to whatever the client/animal requires. At my home: the yard is fully fenced, and I live next to a city park for ample outdoor time. We have our two dogs to play with and room inside for toy/treat time. Plus lots of comfortable spaces for naps! At a client's home: I will take my cues off of the owners and the dog that is in their own space. I'm also happy to do any cleaning :)

About: Hey there! I’m a Seattle based dog owner who genuinely enjoys caring for all kinds of dogs from playful puppies to high energy dogs and gentle senior companions. I am comfortable with high energy dogs and match their pace through active walks, games or visits to the park keeping them mentally and physically satisfied. I have experience with senior dogs adjusting their walks and activities, assisting with mobility and offering gentle supportive care. I am comfortable managing medication routines or special feeding schedules as required. I can confidently administer pills, topical medications or insulin following owner instructions with care and precision. Don’t hesitate to reach out for any questions! 🐶🐾 I work from home which allows me flexible pet care during the day and evening. Available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays, depending on your pet's needs! Your pet's safety is my priority. I maintain a secure, pet-friendly environment and follow your care instructions diligently. Regular updates and photos to ensure you stay informed and reassured🐾

About: I've had family pets since I was a child and gravitate towards dogs as an adult. I learned a lot about dog training as a puppy raiser for a service dog organization, in this role I fostered and trained a service puppy for a year! I love being in the outdoors and will often take dogs out on hikes or mountain bike rides. I work full-time, but only in the evenings and occasional weekends. My partner works a normal 9-5 so generally a dog would not be alone longer than 4-5 hours. We have a small/medium sized fenced-in backyard for play and potty breaks. I understand it can be anxiety inducing to leave your pup with a stranger, so I will communicate with daily updates/photos/videos to let you know how it's going. When pups are left alone I want them to be safe, especially being in a new space, so I will use a crate if that's something they are used to. I am fine with other arrangements too if you feel it is safe to do so.

“Brooke is great! She took great care of my fur kids, and sent me pictures as well to keep me updated while we were away. Great with communication and a natural cat whisperer 😻😻😻 I definitely feel they are in good hands 🥰”
