“I've only used Xiuyan since I got this app and she's been there bear cat sitter a person could ask for. Above and beyond expectations. Highly recommended”


“Savannah did a stellar job keeping Tater happy, fed, and healthy. Kitty was in great spirits when I got home. Would definitely hire Savannah in the future!”


“Deidre was fantastic. We were very anxious leaving our older chihuahua and standard poodle alone all day since they’ve become accustomed to being no more than 5 feet away from us since working from home the last 6 years. As soon as we met Deidre for the meet and greet we were put at ease. She’s has a calm, grounded presence that not only the dogs but even our scaredy cats responded too. She came by for three visits and sent full updates and many photos. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”



“Thank you so much Ari! Our pups were so relaxed as we returned home ??? We were able to enjoy today's event without worrying them! We appreciates Ari's professionalism and sweetness to our pups. This was the first time with Ari and definitely we request him again?”


“Hannah was so great and flexible. We had a last minute emergency while out of town, and she was able to go let my dogs (1 yr old german shepherd and 7 yr old jack Russell mix) out twice and feed them. Sh sent pictures and she was so thoughtful and took great care of them while we were gone. I will DEFINITELY be using her again. Highly recommend!”


“Becky always does an amazing job with toby and is extremely patient with him giving the fact he has a lot of energy and for a bigger sized dog she's extremely helpful with him, we recommend her for all your dog sitting needs!”


About: With over a decade of experience as a trusted dog sitter, I have had the privilege of caring for countless furry companions, including those belonging to neighbors, friends, and coworkers. From goofy poodles (like my own) to energetic vizsla's, I've had the pleasure of nurturing a diverse range of breeds and personalities. My commitment to building strong relationships with both pets and their owners has led to countless referrals and repeat clients, solidifying my reputation as a go-to sitter in the area. As a super chill yet responsible sitter, I prioritize safety, communication to the owner, and fun-filled adventures for your beloved pet. With me, you can rest assured that your furry family member will receive top-notch care and plenty of love while you're away. I have a work schedule that gives me flexibility Thursdays and Fridays so I’m able to provide services for up to 4 days at a time :) I don’t have a pet friendly rental home so I prefer to care for pets at the clients home. This is what I’ve normally done for friends and family over the years. Plus pets seem more comfy in their own homes!

“Vanessa was very attentive and patient with our nervous Obi, which was so appreciated! She was punctual, handled all complex feeding directions well and provided pictures of an anxious but happy boy. That's the best we can ask for and will book again!”


“She was able to help me out on short notice when my other plans fell through and was easy to work and communicate with. Also sent me cute pics of my cat :)”

“Lizzy was great with our dogs and kept us updated the whole trip with photos and messages letting us know how they were doing! I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her in the future”


“Jeffrey was fantastic and allowed us to be worry free while traveling overseas. He even helped take care of our cat who unfortunately has cancer and was able to administer oral meds. I went ahead and already booked him again for our next trip. Highly recommend!”



“100 stars! We moved to Olympia recently and then had to take a ten day trip out of town, and Jerri was amazing! We had daily pictures of our old man cat and she rotated lights, got the mail, and even dragged our trash cans back in. She also stayed in close contact with us the last day of our trip, as we were worried about our flights being cancelled or late, and she was ready to come back if we needed her. 10/10 highly recommend!”


“Melanie did a great job taking care of my very unfriendly cat Daisy! She sent lots of pictures & updates, which I enjoyed getting. Melanie brought my mail in & took my garbage out to the curb for pick up too. She went above & beyond! I am so happy to have found her to take care of Daisy when I am gone!”


“Ana was wonderful! Very responsive, friendly, totally reliable and a natural with our dogs. She watched our two Labradors for a couple days, she was great about sending notes and pictures of how things were going, our dogs loved her! We would definitely recommend her services!”
