Victoria was great! Attentive, communicative, timely, and most importantly she gave the dogs really good quality outside time— threw a ball for Vesa and tried to engage juni (who probably just wanted to get out of the cold since hunting wasn’t on the table)— the dogs look happy. We appreciate you!

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.

Isabella took exceptionally great care of my little kitty! The notes she always left after each check-in were very thorough, and I loved all of the pictures she sent. She was very accommodating and helpful, and really went the extra mile! I would absolutely recommend her as a sitter for anyone who wants complete peace of mind while they are away on a trip 😁

About: I’ve grown up taking care of dogs since I was a kid! Additionally, I’ve worked at a Puppies & Yoga studio where I spent most of my time with puppies. Im currently fresh out of college, so I have plenty of time to dig-sit/walk your pets! On weekends, I am available post noon. I’m always vigilant while walking dogs, especially while interacting with other pets and people, and making sure they are leashed at all times. I closely follow your exact feeding, walking, and medication schedules to maintain consistency with your routine.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life, and I have experience with both. I’m down take walks, play with them, or pet sit overnight! I’m a full time law student, so I try to pet sit before/after class and on the weekends. However, I try to be flexible as much as possible and will communicate my availability for the week. I share an apartment with two other students and a cat, so it won’t be possible to pet sit at my apartment. My pet sitting experience has been at the client’s home/apartment, and I find that the pet is more comfortable that way too.

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.

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!

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.

Amethyst provided the most attentive and loving care for our Miyuki while we were gone. She gave us updates on how she thought Miyuki was feeling and adjusted the environment and her approach to make sure Miyuki was as happy and fulfilled as possible while we were away. She even found out ways that she liked to be petted! Her communication and coordination are fabulous. We will definitely rebook with her when we have to be away again. 💯 Recommend.

Kenneth did a wonderful job taking care of my two kitties over the 4th of July weekend! Communication was great, he dropped by on time, and managed to wrangle my trouble-making older cat and win over my skittish younger cat. I loved receiving photos from his visits and appreciated him taking the time to play and sit with them each day.
