I just moved in Seattle so I am available almost everyday!Feel free to contact me if you have any questions and I will be glad to hear from you.Look forward to meeting your fur kiddos soon! I’m available almost everyday since I don’t go to work. I spend most of my time with my pets at home so as well as your pets! I live in an apartment with a fenced yard. I have two friendly pups that will be your fur baby’s company .If your pet is shy I can leave a quiet space for her!

About: I have always had a soft spot for animals and lived with cats. I started getting into pet sitting when I would walk an elderly neighbor’s little terrier, and I thought hey, why not turn this into a business? Now, I’m happy to care for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! I am currently working my main job on a flexible schedule, so I am happy to accommodate pet care at most times of the day and accept last minute bookings. I have completely open availability on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. ** I am moving on August 18, so I will not be accepting bookings for now after that date. My approach is to adapt to whatever routine is best for your pet in your home. Especially with cats, I find it best to follow their lead.

“Very kind and reliable!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 10, and have had dogs my whole life. I have experience with elderly animals, and some experience with training and reinforcement of training. I have experience caring for animals with separation anxiety and can follow any special instructions you may have regarding your pet! I am a part-time student taking online classes and have a very flexible schedule. I am generally available at any time of day, any day of the week. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, and will treat your home with the upmost respect. I understand that your home is where your pet feels the most comfortable, so I will do my best not to disturb that environment and ensure both their comfort and safety while you are away.

“Per usual, Shan was awesome! Alway pleasant and courteous and very communicative. She’s always the first person I go to when I need anyone to walk Ruby!”

About: I have 6 pets as of now, but have had a total of 8. I am very experienced in caring for both cats and dogs, having grown up with them, and am well-versed in walking, feeding, and loving these animals. I have experience in dealing with health issues and administering medication in the form of oral syrups/pills and injections (diabetic and acid reflux). I am currently a student at UW, but have an open schedule over the summer. I am available over the weekends and weekdays between 9 am and 11 pm for drop-ins. But if there are special instructions, we can always sort out a plan that suits both parties, as I am flexible! My services will mostly be given at my client's house as I live with roommates who have allergies. I am incredibly open and encourage scheduling meetings and interviews beforehand to ensure that this arrangement works for both parties. Regarding caring for the animals, I would spend ample time getting to know your pets, not only to make sure that they are getting emotional care, but to build a trusting relationship that will allow me to walk, feed, and care for them. As mentioned, I have experience in handling medication should the situation need it, as long as I am told and shown the procedure beforehand.

“Isabella is awesome! We’ve used her several times for walks now and Frankie always comes back super happy. Will definitely continue using Isabella for more walks in the future”

About: I've taken care of people's pets, and my own, since childhood. From dogs of all sizes, to bunnies, and more, I'm comfortable with it all! I look forward to caring for your furry loved ones! I currently have a relatively open schedule to meet your pet or house sitting needs. Let me know and I can likely accommodate your requests! I hope to bring a kind and fun presence for your pet in their own home and am well versed in gentle introductions. I know every pet has their own preferences and needs, and I enjoy both a calm, relaxing drop in visit, and an energetic trek through the park, depending on what's best for them!

“Maria was great! She showed up on time every day and sent photos and updates of my dog's walks. He looked happy, and I'm glad he got to get outside during my work day. I'll definitely be booking with her again.”

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs ever since I was 8 years old! I have a lot of experience sitting and watching, knowing the do's and the don'ts! I have experience walking and sitting large dogs and small dogs, as well as outside and inside cats! I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your animals! My schedule is flexible, and I can easily adapt to quick changes or requests! I love being active and being outside, so your pup and I will have a great time together! I have a lot of experience house-sitting, so I know the general expectations and am used to following safety tasks and personal requests while in your home!

About: Hi! My name is Emery, and I have several years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Ever since I was young, I’ve helped my aunt care for dogs and cats through her in-home pet care and boarding business, giving me hands-on experience with a wide variety of pets and their individual needs. My passion for animal care began while helping care for my own elderly dog, which taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and paying close attention to each pet’s comfort. I also have experience administering oral medications, including providing my elderly dog with GABA as part of his care. Whether your pet is energetic and loves long walks or is a senior who needs a slower pace and extra support, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. If your older dog still enjoys getting outside but can’t walk long distances, I’m more than willing to accommodate them, even if that means using a stroller so they can safely enjoy some fresh air. I understand how important it is to keep your pet’s routine consistent, so I’m committed to carefully following all instructions and preferences you provide. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I also love keeping owners connected while they’re away and am happy to send regular updates and plenty of photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk, a drop-in visit, or extended care, my goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and secure. I would be honored to care for your furry family member and look forward to meeting both you and your pet! I’m a college student and am currently only taking classes from 6-8:30 pm, Monday and Wednesday. Outside these windows of time I have plenty of availability! I am comfortable walking your dog outside and have had experience with protecting my own dog in hostile situations whether that be at a dog park or on a walk. I am able to crate your dog based on their needs, administer medication as needed (capsule or oral), or even follow strict feeding regimens.

About: Demonstrating care, kindness, and diligence with pets is the cornerstone of my approach. Having 4+ years experience as a pet owner and dog-sitter, I’m comfortable around dogs of all temperaments and sizes: nervous, energetic, relaxed, big or small. It’s often the highlight of my day. I’m aware of best practices with pets and willing to adapt to special circumstances/needs. Consider me for your pet care needs and I’ll treat them like family. Very flexible schedule. Weekends and weekdays okay. I love going on walks, so I can take a dog near or far with ease, depending on their needs or capabilities. Regular feeding and walking schedules are essential to keeping pets happy and healthy. Other than being attentive to the pet, my goal is to be as minimally intrusive as possible so the client can leave and return with peace of mind.

“Elizabeth is AWESOME! She always goes above and beyond in the care and attention she gives to my pup, Finley. She is an excellent communicator, consistent, and kind. I can rest easy knowing Finley is getting what she needs with someone I trust!”

About: I have had at least one dog in my family since I was born, so I have been constantly surrounded by these wonderful animals my entire life (and wouldn't have it any other way). I thrive on the connections I can make with animals, and know how to curate a calming yet playful environment so both my pets and those I dog-sit feel safe and supported. Growing up, I helped teach my dogs tricks, potty train, walk and do heavy exercise (ball-chasing, etc.), as well as comforting my elder dogs in their final moments of life. From puppies to senior canines, I have been around it all! I am in a graduate student at the University of Washington, currently on a part-time student schedule which frees up time for me to pursue opportunities I care about, such as pet care. Aside from class time on weekdays, I am willing to work with clients on a flexible schedule to care for pets weekdays and/or weekends. I am easily adaptable in new environments and do not mind entering homes/yards in order to provide the best care for your pet. I want to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible for drop-in visits and/or walks around a neighborhood/park/etc.
