Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In University District

About: I’m a dog owner and have experience with cat and dog sitting! I am very attentive to detail and will make sure to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’d love to help with feeding, playtime, walks, and any other care! I am currently a student at the University of Washington so I have a pretty flexible schedule throughout the day, especially through summer as I will still be in Seattle. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. My own dog has several health issues, so I’m experienced with providing extra attention and administering care as instructed. I always follow owners’ instructions carefully and provide thoughtful care!

“We had to leave our two very young cats for a family emergency out of town and Riley really came through to make sure these babies were well looked after. Great attitude. Great confidence. All our instructions were carried with high fidelity. So grateful for the care our kitties received! Thanks Riley!”

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs individualized care, so I take the time to learn each pets routine, preferences, and comfort level. I am patient with puppies who are still learning good habits and attentive to senior pets who may need extra care, slower walks, medication administration, or additional comfort. I prioritize communication and provide updates, photos, and check-ins so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and receiving the same level of care they would get at home. I treat my clients pets the same way I would want my dogs to be treated! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I am organized, responsible, and I enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In both my home and clients homes, I provide fresh water, meals according to their schedule, exercise, playtime, companionship, and any medications or special care instructions. I also keep pet areas clean and provide regular updates to owners so they know their pets are happy and cared for!

“Our pup seemed to really enjoy visits from Brittany! She was punctual and very easy to communicate with and we enjoyed the pictures that she left after each visit.”

About: I've been caring for animals since I was a child, including dogs, cats, amphibians, and small rodents. I’m currently a college student living in a pet-free home, and I truly miss having animals around, which is why I love pet sitting. Over the years, I've looked after pets for neighbors, friends, and family members while they were away, gaining experience with a variety of personalities, ages, and care needs. From daily feeding and exercise to administering medication and providing extra attention for senior pets, I'm committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pet(s)! I'm available all day Fridays and Saturdays for drop-in visits, house sitting, or extended care. Most weekdays, I'm usually available after 2 PM (sometimes 6:30 PM depending on my work schedule) and can accommodate a variety of schedules. I'm happy to work with pet parents to ensure their pets receive reliable, attentive care while they're away. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I currently do not have any pets of my own, so pets that are sensitive to other animals or unfamiliar scents can feel comfortable knowing they won't be exposed to them through me. I am respectful of clients' homes and living spaces and will always follow household rules, routines, and care instructions to ensure both you and your pet feel at ease. Whether it's feeding schedules, medication, playtime, or specific household preferences, I'm happy to accommodate your needs and provide attentive, reliable care.

“Maria went above and beyond for my 2 rabbits. I didn't have to worry about them while I was away because Maria followed all of my care instructions and sent updates and photos every day. Thank you!”

“Simon was excellent, did everything we could have hoped for and more. Jazzy seemed to get along great with Simon. We'd be very happy to book again!”

“Francis was fabulous and took such wonderful care of our 3 cats, including our beloved elderly cat who is sickly and on medication. We loved seeing daily photos and videos of the kitties and knew they were happy and loved while we were away. We will definitely hire Francis again!”

About: I've cared for animals my entire life, starting with my own pets as a child. I've also provided trusted care for friends', neighbors, and family members dogs, cats, horses, birds, and small critters. I'm especially experienced with rescue pets, having cared for my own dog who was rescued as a street dog from Taiwan, as well as 2 kittens rescued from a bucket on the streets of LA. This has taught me patience, compassion, and how to support pets with unique backgrounds and needs. I treat every animal with the same love, respect, and attention I have given my own. Because every pet is family. I'm a single mom and I run my own small business from home, which allows me to make my own schedule and stay flexible. My kids are in daycare during the day, so I'm fully available to focus on pet care. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits anytime between 7:30 AM to 5 PM allowing plenty of time of time to focus on your pet's needs. I can also be available on the weekends anytime with enough notice. Please feel free to reach out to me if you need care outside of these hours and we can try to work something out. At this time, caring for pets in my home can be a bit more challenging, as I have two small children and two resident cats. Because of this, in-home care would need to be the right fit for everyone involved. I may be open to hosting a small animal that is comfortable around children and cats, calm in a family environment, and able to transition well into a shared space. My priority is always safety, comfort, and a positive experience for both your pet and family.

“Phoebe is just amazing! She is very communicative and details oriented. She followed the instructions and was able to update me about Mickey everyday. I was not worried about Mickey when out of the country. Definitely recommended Pheobe!!”

“Aileen was a wonderful sitter for our two cats! It was our first time using Rover. We got reports each day and she clearly took time to visit with them and observe their behavior for us. One of the first times our cats haven’t gotten into random things while we’ve been gone. We will request her again!”

About: I've been looking after dogs for about 9 years, but have personally owned dogs (a Yorkie and Husky-German Shepherd hybrid) for about 11 years as well! I'm super familiar with their needs, and am very passionate about providing exceptional care, making sure they have everything they need to thrive, and ensuring that they enjoy their days through enrichment such as playtime and walks while their beloved families are away. No dog is too big or small. Shy or nervous dogs, rambunctious or playful dogs, I love them all. I will care for your baby like it's my own! I am currently a full-time university student, and work a part time job, but I still have lots of time to look after your pets! With everything combined, I'm not gone for more than 7-8 hours a day on my busiest days, so if that works for your needs, feel free to reach out! I put an immense amount of effort in ensuring both your pet and home are safe and adequately looked after while you are away. I am more than happy to check up on everything as much as you need me to, as well as provide photos and updates of your pet and home throughout my stay.

“Sabrina and Daniel were great with our puppy, Patty! She had just had her spay surgery, but Sabrina & Daniel were careful and thoughtful with her. Thank you both!”
