“Aly is a great communicator and took awesome care of our semi-tricky shiba. I’d definitely recommend her and will for sure work with her again!”


3. Colton P.
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, Guinea pigs, chickens, and geese. Since an early age, I have had an affinity for dogs and I have rarely meet a dog that dislikes me. I have spent time training and raising dogs throughout my life, and I am the go-to dog sitter for all of my neighbors and friends. I promise, me and your dog will get along great! I also have a lot of experience handling extra large dogs. Available throughout the day for random drop ins to feed, walk, or just hang out with your dogs. I can be there as early as 9 am or as late as midnight, but mid-day and evening walks are best for me. Dogs are part of the family when they are over. They can hang out on the couches/beds or run around in our fenced back yard. I am great at routines and can feed or walk your dog at specific times throughout the day as needed.


4. Olivia H.
“We have used Olivia's dog care services many times. Olivia has fed, walked, and cared for our senior greyhound. Olivia stayed at our house with our dog overnight for several days at a time. We were very pleased with Olivia's communication and reliability. Our dog was always happy, healthy, and safe when we came home.”




5. Ava H.

“Ava was great. We needed someone last minute for a trip and she came at the same day to meet the dogs. I am very grateful for her help. The dogs loved her at the first sight! ❤️”


6. Stephanie G.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie for pet sitting services. She has taken care of my beloved pets on multiple occasions, and I've been consistently impressed with her reliability, love, and devotion to providing top-notch care. Stephanie goes above and beyond to ensure my animals receive the best possible attention. Her kindness, patience, and genuine affection for my pets have earned their trust and love - they absolutely adore her! She always sends photo updates of the adventures my animals have while I'm gone, which helps me travel with ease. She's also great with maintaining structure and routine to help your pets feel less impacted by their family's absence. With Stephanie, I have complete peace of mind knowing my pets are in loving hands. She's an exceptional pet sitter, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving care for their fur fam.”


7. Eva M.
“Eva walked and took care of our little elder-dogs and we couldn't have asked for a better pet-sitter! She was so patient with those old doggies and they loved her for it. Eva is extremely responsible: she shows up on time and gives plenty of notice if she isn't available for a walk. She filled out a daily journal so we'd know if the dogs took their meds, had a longer than usual walk, or if anything unusual happened. Our guys are now in dog-heaven but when we adopt the next time, Eva will once again be our go-to dogsitter. She's the best!”


8. Sabrina C.


“Sabrina is amazing! She is patient, kind and gives great ideas for helping behaviors that need adjustment. My pup has anxiety, she’s worked on getting him comfortable with her with at his pace and now he’s rolling over for belly rubs with her!”


9. Lucie D.
“Lucie is a great pet carer with a deep love for animals. Her pets mean the world to her as she considers them equal amazing companions in her life and since she moved out she misses taking care of her pets like nothing else. Not only that pets also love her and when we went to a cat cafe she was the only person to get all the cats to sleep on her legs. On top of that she is the most responsible person I know. She is meticulous, organized and has a great attention to detail which together with her love of pets ensures that she would be the best pet sitter in the world!”


10. alma m.
“Alma has taken care of my many pets multiple times over the past several years. She has fed and walked my two large dogs, cared for my cats, chickens, ducks, rabbits and even my large dairy goats! She has always been very reliable, responsible and always on time. My pets are always well cared for and all of their needs met while we are gone. I fully trust Alma with all of my pets and house. Also she is a very nice and genuine person :-)”


11. Enokk V.
“We have 4 dogs and 2 cats, including one Great Dane which can be a bit of a handful if he’s not friends with you. Enokk took so much time creating a relationship with all of our animals and giving us updates while we were on our trip. Made everything about leaving for our trip so much easier!”


12. Halle N.

“Halle was great! Very communicative and easy to work with!”


13. Claire J.

“Easy to work with and very communicative. Thank you Claire!”


14. Kiah T.
“Kiah has been wonderful, she is reliable and respectful to our dog. She is timely, compassionate and has been a joy to have helping with our fur baby!”


15. Joshua R.
“I’m always confident that my 14 year old terrier is in good hands when she’s with Josh. Josh is enthusiastic and caring and I would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a fun companion for their pet.”


16. Abbie K.
About: I have never known a home without a furry friend in it! We have dogs of our own, and have fostered many pups over the years. I have years of experience caring for dogs in all stages of life- from bottle-fed pups to gray-muzzle seniors. I am a full time student at the University of Washington, so my schedule is varied and flexible. I am available for overnight stays all days of the week, and can reliably give potty breaks throughout the day. While I cannot board pets, I am more than able to travel to pet-sit at your home. I love all types of pets and would love to provide them care at home, where they are comfortable.


17. Madysen S.

“Madysen is amazing! She is very communicative and sends lots of photos which makes me feel better when I’m away from my fur baby for so long!”


18. Jalia J.
About: I have cared for family pets including my 2 orange tabbies since I was seven. I have also been interested in dogs my whole life and have taken to studying their behaviors and evolution for a couple years now. I am a graduate student so weekends work best for me. However I am willing to make adjustments depending on my workload for the week. When caring for my pets by making sure they feel safe and secure, these means food, water, play time, natural light, and personal space .




19. Madi M.
“Madi is one of the biggest animal lover's I have ever met. She dog sits at every available opportunity for friends because she just loves spending time with animals, especially dogs. Whenever we have dog sat together I am amazed at how patient she is and how much time she takes to make sure that they are all well fed, walked and happy. She often goes outside and throws the ball for them and I'm convinced that she loves it as much as they do!! She is willing and happy to get up early to make sure the dogs get a walk. She adores every dog that we have ever come across, no matter their size, shape, breed, ability, age and personality. She has experience with dogs that have medical needs, as her dog growing up had serious separation anxiety and had to be medicated every day. Madi is also very good at approaching dogs and understands that not all dogs are warm and welcoming. Because of how much she has dog sat for friends, she is very experienced in dealing with dogs who are too friendly with other dogs, as well as those that are timid or aggressive around other dogs. I honestly do not think I have ever met someone who loves and cares more for dogs than Madi does. I have two dogs and would trust Madi completely to take care of them if I needed her to.”


20. Laura A.

“Laura did an amazing job and really went above and beyond for our girls. One of them had an accident inside and she graciously cleaned it for us. She fed and gave them water and dried them off after their walk. I would highly recommend her. Very trustworthy with your fur babies.”
