“Johanna did such an excellent job with our pets! We have four cats and one dog, so I was nervous to leave them for an extended period of time since they all have different schedules and needs, but Johanna was so kind and able to make everything go so smoothly and effortlessly. I didn’t feel like I had to worry at all. She provided thorough updates and plenty of photos. I can’t thank her or recommend her enough!”

About: Since childhood I’ve enjoyed being around all pets and animals. I pet sit and house sit for friends and neighbors regularly. I work from home. I provide Reiki as well. If they want to go for a fun walk, swim, park or chill out snuggling then I’m flexible. Many dogs and cats that have a hard time socializing, eating, anxiety, I find ways to connect. My goal is to bring calm and support to what the animal needs while separated from their main caretaker. *I love large animals but unfortunately cannot accept requests right now for large dogs. I’m still recovering from breast cancer and unable to walk them if they pull. If you have fenced in yard, then I’ll consider. I work from home so I can stop in for a walk easily. If I can use your wifi, I can work from your home while hanging out with your pet. I cannot watch pets at my home. I’ll follow the normal routine in your home as closely as possible. Walks, dog parks, or snuggles.

“Josh accepted our last minute request so that we could leave town for a funeral and even arrived at 4:30 am for our early flight. He took great care of our dogs and even checked to make sure things were good with our reptile. In addition he left the house as he found it and cleaned up after himself.”

About: What sets me apart is that I’m reliable, flexible, and focused on making pets feel comfortable and cared for in their own home. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to adjust my care to fit their specific needs. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels and needs, including puppies who need consistency and supervision, as well as senior pets who may require a calmer environment, extra patience, or medication reminders. I make communication a priority by providing regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured and connected to their pets at all times. I’m a flexible college student balancing classes, studying, and a part-time job. My schedule changes often, so I’ve learned how to adapt quickly and stay organized while managing school, work, and personal time. Some days are packed with assignments and shifts, while others are more open, which helps me stay balanced and avoid burnout. Even with a busy routine, I make time to stay productive, meet deadlines, and keep up with responsibilities while still having flexibility in my day-to-day life. I care for pets in a client’s home by following their usual routine to help the pet feel comfortable and reduce stress while their owner is away. This includes feeding, refreshing water, walks, playtime, cleaning up after the pet, and giving lots of attention and companionship. I also follow any specific instructions regarding medications, training, exercise, or special care needs. I respect the client’s home by keeping things clean, secure, and organized during each visit. I also provide updates and photos when requested so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Awesome dog and house sitter experience! Communication was top-notch from the get-go, and they did an amazing job looking after our dogs and home. The photo and video updates were awesome! We've already booked them for our next trip. Definitely recommend them for reliable and thoughtful sitting services.”

“Brougan stayed overnight to watch my 1 adult cat and two 5 month old kittens. He paid attention to the feeding schedule and left the home as he found it. We are using him again!”

“Zach is an amazing pet sitter. His love for animals is obvious, and he did a great job watching our pets (2 dogs, one cat, and a guppy) while we were out of town. When he came for the meet/greet, he asked good questions and took notes to make sure he knew what each pet needed. When he was watching our pets he sent updates daily, as well as pictures to let us know how they were doing. He was a very active sitter, playing with them, walking them, working on some training with the puppy, and snuggling with them as well. We will absolutely ask him to come back the next time we need a sitter. Thank you, Zach for taking such good care of our pets!”

“Mckinzie took excellent care of our pooch, house and yard! She was very sensitive to our shy dog’s personality and they ended up good friends! We appreciated her quick response time too. We will definitely use Mckinzie again in the future!”

About: When I was little and people asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said 'dog walker' — and now I finally get to live that dream! This summer I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I have experience with both small and large dogs, as well as cats, and I treat every animal like my own. This summer I'm home in Olympia taking a college course, so my days are flexible and my focus is simple — hitting the books and spoiling some fur babies! I have plenty of time and am committed to giving your pet consistent, reliable care My home comes with a large fenced yard — plenty of room for your pup to run wild, explore, and have the time of their life!

“Maggie was great! She was able to come last minute to hang out with my dogs while we went to Seattle for a concert. My dogs were happy to have someone with them and Maggie sent a couple of pics afterwards, which was much appreciated! Will definitely hire again in the future!”

“Jackie (Kirsten) was an excellent choice for our dog while we were on vacation. She was friendly and really a natural when interacting with our nervous dog. We felt confident that it was a good fit, and we were correct. Jackie communicated with us via email and sending photos daily. We came home to a happy dog. We plan on using her services in the future!”

“I wish I could give more stars! I have an escape artist Siberian Husky, husky mix, and an old cat. They all both require a lot of exercise, patience, and attention. Their Summer met and exceeded all of our requests and expectations! Summer also watched our house and I am pretty sure it was cleaner when we got home than when we left. We will definitely recommend and request their services again.”

“Pazia did a great job house sitting for two nights; when I came home my house was clean and my cat was happy! Pazia is also very quick to respond and sends great pictures. My cat takes oral medications and Pazia always lets me know if there are any concerns. I would definitely recommend their services.”

“Brett was great at following directions, asking questions and sending updates, and tending to our enthusiastic pup! He was very flexible and thorough in the random “extra” asks we had when housesitting. Definitely recommend.”

About: As an experienced dog sitter, I go beyond basic care by truly understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have a natural ability to read their body language and adapt to their moods, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medications, following specific dietary plans, or providing enriching playtime and walks, I tailor my approach to each dog’s routine. My calm and attentive demeanor helps even the most anxious dogs feel at ease, and I maintain clear communication with pet owners for peace of mind. Having cared for my own senior Pomeranian, Zeus, until he was 14, I am particularly attuned to the special needs of older dogs, including administering medications and adjusting routines for their comfort. I currently have an year and a half year old Yellow Labrador Retriever named cooper, so well experienced with puppies I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or just extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to be there consistently. I love getting outside for walks and making sure dogs stay mentally and physically happy while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, energy levels, and temperaments, including senior dogs and puppies. I always keep a close eye during walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment.
