“Juli was so thorough and attentive to our beloved kitty, Mittens! She even checked the mail for us! We will absolutely be requesting her services again next time we are gone.”
“Madison was beyond responsive and just a pleasure to work with. You can tell she really loves cats and we feel lucky that she was able to take care of Phil and Lil. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“We had never had anyone stay at our house or watch our cat before and we couldn’t have been happier with how our first experience went! Angel was always very quick to respond when I reached out with questions prior to our vacation. While we were away he updated us twice a day, which also included pictures and videos(: He took very good care of our cat as well as our house. I appreciated him vacuuming before we came home and also sanitizing! Our cat is a rescue and easily scared, but it seems like she became comfortable with Angel after just a few days, which was great! Thank you Angel for EVERYTHING! We will definitely use you again in the future!”
“Thank you Erica for the wonderful care of our cats. We look forward to having you again. It’s so nice to have someone reliable, dependable and caring! Our cats loved you!”
“Briana hands down will always be my first call when I need care for my kitties. She is so kind, responsive and provides updates to give me ample piece of mind when I’m gone.”
About: I grew up on a farm taking care of animals my whole life, and I’ve also worked at several doggie daycares, a vet clinic and a rescue. I have also done pet sitting on the side and I have experience owning rodents like hamsters, ferrets etc. When it comes to animals there isn’t a lot I won’t do! I’m currently unemployed, so I can work around your schedule and your needs! My only commitments are my own pets, but again I can work around your schedule. When caring for pets in your home I’ll play with them, take them potty, feed them, give them water or medication etc. anything your furry friend needs!
“Absolutely loved working with Elysia. My cats are shy/aloof when it comes to new people and they take a while to warm up, but Elysia handled them snubbing her well. My Ani also needed meds every day and Elysia was able to give them to him just fine. Came home to my two cats taken care of and doing quiet well. Would definitely recommend Elysia for cat sitting and look forward to working with her again.”
“Britnie is the best. I’m not exaggerating. She dropped in on my cat while I was gone for 10 days. Everyday I got several pictures and a summary of their playdates without fail. She was on time, considerate and communicates well. Her love of animals really shows. THE. BEST. PERIOD.”
“Renee went above and beyond to make sure our dog was happy, fed, and well-exercised over the span of 4 days while we were out of town. We loved the photos and details she provided. Looking forward to scheduling with her again!”
About: I have taken care of pets for many years. I am patient with pets. I communicate well with pet owners. Animals are my passion, their care and comfort always comes before my own. I recently moved to Tacoma from Los Angeles, California, and currently have a completely open schedule. I can work with your needs to find a schedule that works for you. I can adapt to any house environment and have your pet feel comfortable with me around. I will walk your dogs shift and keep a routine cycle.
“Terri was fantastic! Super responsive to all of my messages and took care of my cat perfectly including medications. Would definitely recommend Terri to others and would book with her again.”
About: Growing up, I’d help my mom pet sit for friends and family. Through the years I’ve volunteered at the humane society, working with dogs and cats and grooming adoptable pets. I worked at a doggy daycare, watching upwards of 20 dogs while feeding, cleaning, and playing with the pups. I have been pet sitting for over 10 years and have experience with puppies and kittens, elderly pets, big and small. Fish, both fresh and salt water. Horses, cows, chickens, birds and other small animals such as rats, rabbits, and Guinea pigs. As well as special needs animals, administering medication, orally as well as inhalers and shots. I work part time in the morning which allows me time during the day to visit and play with your furry companions. I am able to pet sit over night in owners home or come and go throughout the day to give care to pets while their owners are away! Your pets safety is my number 1 concern. While I am watching your pet in your home, I treat both as though they are my own. I follow your instructions when it comes to feeding, playing, or special instructions for medications or specific needs.
About: I genuinely love dogs and cats. I had both growing up. I have been helping my girlfriend and family friend run their commercial pet care businesses and I really enjoy the work. I excel at play and energetic walks. I run my own online sales business and I make my own schedule. I really enjoy breaking up my day with walks and pet visits. I have great respect for clients homes. I take notes and don’t touch anything that’s not related to the work I’m doing. I used to run a housekeeping company so I understand professional boundaries and have experience training others to work in that environment.
