“Yufang took such great care of Taco! Her home is well set up for dog care — safe, clean, and comfortable. Taco got plenty of playtime, attention, and belly rubs, and came home happy and relaxed. I really appreciated all the pics and video.”
About: Growing up with different kinds of pets(dogs, cats,birds,turtles,goldfish,rabbits,hamsters…) throughout 30 years of my life, I can’t imagine a minute without pets.And that’s the reason why I started my career as a pet groomer 13 years ago. I am experienced in taking care of all breeds of dogs and cats,as well as other pets.Now I am a ‘mom’ of a 5 year-old dachshund and a 4 year-old Frenchie,I just can’t love them more and am so looking forward to meeting your fur kids! 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!
“She was very nice and caring with my pup, she made me feel comfortable for my first time being away from him by sending videos and photos for memories from time to time, I'll absolutely recommend her for pet sitting.”
“We booked Felix on short notice for evening daycare, and he was very thoughtful in assessing whether our dog would be a good fit for his setup. We really appreciated the detailed updates and feedback throughout the stay. Felix has a strong understanding of dog behavior and group dynamics, which gave us peace of mind, and our somewhat nervous dog seemed to fit right in with his pack. Thanks Felix!”
“Bubbles seemed to have a fun evening with Jun. Just as important, Jun seemed to enjoy Bubbles! Jun was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. He even sent Bubbles home with a new toy.🙂”
“There is a reason Darlayna has so many great reviews. Esti had an awesome time and we were updated throughout the day with tons of great photos and videos. Highly recommended!”
“Eric took great care of Blue during daycare! I got tons of photos and text updates throughout the day to keep me updated and make sure I knew how Blue was doing! The dogs are never alone and he always pays close attention to them and adjusts to suit every dogs specific needs.”
About: As a 4th‑year Informatics student at the University of Washington, I’m naturally detail‑oriented and dependable — but my real foundation in pet care comes from growing up with 20+ breeds and species of animals. I’ve spent my whole life learning how different personalities communicate, what helps them feel safe, and how to build trust at their pace. I currently live with three cats, so I’m especially tuned in to the little things: body‑language shifts, routine preferences, and comfort cues. Whether I’m caring for a cat or a dog, I focus on creating a calm, predictable day — fresh food and water, clean spaces, gentle enrichment, and companionship that matches their energy. Every pet I care for gets the same patience, warmth, and respect I give my own. I’m a part‑time UW student and part‑time worker, so my schedule is steady and predictable. I build pet care into my daily routine — morning and evening check‑ins, fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, walks or playtime, and calm companionship. Weekly, I make sure pets get extra enrichment, light grooming, and a tidy, comfortable space. No matter how full my week is, your pet’s routine stays consistent and cared for. I share my apartment with three cats, so the environment here is naturally calm, pet‑friendly, and set up with animals in mind. There are plenty of cozy resting spots, clean spaces, and enrichment areas that keep pets comfortable and stimulated. Living with multiple cats has taught me how to maintain a peaceful, well‑managed home where routines stay consistent and every pet has room to feel safe and relaxed. Whether I’m caring for your cat or your dog, they’ll be in a space that’s warm, tidy, and designed with animals’ comfort in mind.
“Hands down the best sitter I’ve found in this city. Erica is super communicative and friendly. She has a lot of experience with dogs and she understands their behaviors well. My dog picked up on her warm energy and I could tell she had a great time. Can’t recommend Erica enough!”
About: I have a variety of experience house, dog, and cat sitting for animals of all ages, and many with medical needs. I am personable and punctual, and have a very flexible day-to-day schedule and love to meet new pets! Open for short notice bookings! I work fully remotely, and so have a very flexible daily schedule, into which some pet time fits great. I have plenty of free time on a weekly basis for unique needs and timing. I have extensive experience pet sitting at client's homes, including overnight. I think caring for pets on their home turf is a great way to get to know them and provide enrichment and fun times!
“Laura, helped us out with a last minute request to watch Zelda. She was amazing from communication to accommodating us last minute and taking such great care of Zelda. So happy to have found her and we will be back.”
“Wonderful experience! My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable during her time with Margot. Communication was great, and I really appreciated the care and attention. I've already booked again! Highly recommend!”
“Eleni is always reliable and an amazing sitter! Seriously I am so grateful for her and appreciate how great she is with my pup. She takes great photos too!”
About: I have raised many rescue dogs, fish, and reptiles as well as looked after more. I can walk, feed, give belly rubs, and help with meds if they need extra medical care. Super duper free schedule. Only catch is I just need be home real quick in the morning and evening for my gecko misting. Very flexible. I will protect your baby like its my own my guilt complex wont let me do any less than that. Will fight a bear for your pet.

“Lauren provides outstanding care for my dog, Phoebe, during daycare. I love receiving regular updates and photos, which gives me great peace of mind while I'm at work. When I pick Phoebe up, she’s always happy and relaxed, and now she gets excited when we arrive for drop-off. I rely on Lauren’s daycare services weekly and will definitely be booking Phoebe for overnight boarding when I go away. Highly recommend – 5 stars!”
“We absolutely LOVED our time with Cheryl. She was so attentive to all of Millie’s needs and truly went above and beyond. She’s experienced, kind, reliable, and even spent time training Millie! We would definitely recommend her services and will be booking again.”

I am super glad I got to connect with Zhongni. She was able to handle my dog Duke who has separation anxiety really well. Not too long after dropping him off, she sent me a picture of my dog settled on her couch and that’s when I knew that she knows what she’s doing, as I know my dog very well and I know it takes him a lot longer to settle into a brand new environment. It is very clear that she has solid experience with dealing with dogs who have separation anxiety and I think her place is set up in a way to accommodate the seemingly irrational yet unique needs that high needs dogs so often have, which is a great plus. I highly recommend Zhongni, she is a true poodle lover, and booking with her again is a no brainer for me. Thank you so much!!! 😊
Iccha watched Sammie for us while we were busy one day and she was terrific. We did a meet and greet beforehand and it was obvious from the start that she is knowledgeable about caring for dogs, and has a great love for dogs too. When we picked Sammie up after his stay with her he was beaming with happiness. Thanks Iccha!
Eric is amazing! He makes sure all dogs will be comfortable with each other before even booking and asks the appropriate questions to get to know each dog. He sends pictures & updates throughout the day. And the best part of all, Rocco can't wait to go to daycare with Eric & comes home a very happy pup 😁
Taylor is literally the sweetest! Archie came back happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Taylor is genuinely kind and so sweet with Archie. Drop-offs and pick-ups were smooth and easy, and I felt confident knowing he was in such good hands. I would book with her again.
Darlayna is a wonderful sitter. My experience was consistent with all her other reviews. She is flexible and timely. Most importantly, she cares very much about the animals that she sits. They all seem to have a wonderful time in her care. She sends plenty of photos as evidence.
Having Annie watch my new puppy Enzo could not have gone any better. She is so sweet to Enzo, extremely responsive and professional and simply a joy to interact with. She was quick to reply to my somewhat last minute to have her watch Enzo. Annie was the first new human for Enzo to meet since getting him and it was clear by the many, many photos she sent me that he felt happy and relaxed and she could not have made me feel more comfortable knowing he was well taken care of
Fox was incredible again with my dog, Nancy. Nancy learned the way to Fox's home and starts getting excited when we are still a few blocks away and then runs through the building to get to Fox's apartment. Nancy is always so happy and tired when I pick her up!
Mariia did a lovely job watching our dog. She is such a professional - asks all the right questions, communicates well, and provides a great experience for the pup. We were very happy to have her look after the big guy for an afternoon and were really pleased! We highly recommend her.
Nicole was beyond amazing with my 6-month-old dachshund. She was dialed in to what he needed/wanted from day 1, attentive, sent cute photo updates every day, and treated him like he was her own. She even worked with him on his training. He loved going to her for daycare and was always a happy, tired, and well-cared-for pup when I picked him up! I can’t say enough good things. :)
Erin was incredible! She instantly made us feel comfortable with her quick and eager messages plus spent extra time with us and Mondo in the morning during drop off to make sure it was a good fit. She met all of our extremely active dog’s needs with long walks and playtime plus sending us some wonderful photo and video updates of Mondo making her house his new comfy home. We would be lucky to have Erin watch Mondo again!!
