“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“Bentley had his own vacation while we took ours! Devan was communicative and make sure to keep my little guy active. Bentley even cried when he left he had so much fun! I highly recommend!”
“Randsell watched Milo while we were on a 7 day cruise. She sent lots of photos and videos, and took him on lots of walks and gave him a lot of attention. We would definitely rebook her when we're in the area again!”
“My first time using rover and such a great experience. I received photo updates of the adventures which was greatly appreciated. Will definetely book again!”
“Apollo stayed with Ruslana for a week over the holidays - we received lots of photos and she was really flexible on drop off/pick up when our plans changed. Apollo clearly had a great time and feels comfortable there, and we will definitely take him back in the future!”
“So great with her!! My dog is pretty anxious but he was so kind about it, and she warmed up to him quickly. He even took her to a dog park and from the videos he sent they had a blast. Would definitely book again!”
“Rachael was wonderful! She helped me out when I was stuck. I have an anxious dog at times and she seamed to transition well and did great with Rachael and her household! Thanks again!”
“Catherine took wonderful care of Enzo! Very communicative and thoughtful. We weren’t sure he would want to come home after the pampering and attention she game him. We will definitely book again.”
“Our doggies have never stayed away from our home, so we were nervous to leave them somewhere else. Yusleni was quick to respond and proactively shared videos of them. It was great to see them while we were away.”
“It’s so nice to know that Egor will always take such good care of our reactive dog. It makes life feel way less isolating and is such great socialization for Tigger!”
“Debra is an incredibly caring and well organized care giver. Our Hazel is kind of delicate, has some tummy issues, delicate teeth, and also separation anxiety. She was with Debra for 5 days while we were out of town and Debra followed all our detailed notes and sent us regular updates throughout the day. We could see that Hazel was having a great time, getting lots of attention, playing with toys, watching the world from the huge window Debra has. She came back totally herself, with no signs of the stress which we have noticed with some other sitters. I would highly recommend Debra and we will definitely have Hazel stay with her especially for longer stays.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog Charlie since we lost her big brother, so we were a little nervous. Kevin and Kandace were amazing and very quickly set us at ease! We loved getting pictures to regularly update us on her adventures with them, and she came home happy as can be! Will definitely be booking again in the future :)”
“Ana and her family are incredibly caring and understanding, even when we ran into some issues with our older dog. I’d recommend her to anyone! Thanks so much!”
“Allison was so great with my dog. I could tell my dog had a good time with her. I received a lot of photos so I felt good about leaving Zeta with her and will definitely book again :)”
“Jennifer and Ken are the best! Lots of photos and no fear that my best friend is in good friendly care. It is a relief not to have to worry when I have to travel.”
“Mengyuan and Matt are great sitters. I could tell by my dog’s mood in the days following that she was happy and cared for and seemed in great spirits. I left my baby with them for 10 nights and I can’t thank them enough for helping me have peace of mind while away for that long. This was my second experience with Mengyuan and I would absolutely recommend!”
“Incredible dog sitter! Zhongni was incredibly attentive, responsive, and went above and beyond taking care of my dog. Not only did she provide regular photo updates, she also took some of my favorite photos of him ever. I highly recommend Zhongni if you’re ever in need of a sitter!”

“Made sure the kitties were well taken care of and had a good time while I was gone. Made sure she knew where everything was during the meeting and greet.”
“Marta is an angel sent from heaven above!! I had 48 hours notice for maintenance work in my apartment, and Marta accepted to watch my anxious kitty even with short notice (: She sent me the cutest pictures with great detail that put me at total ease. My cat was well cared for and could tell she was a safe presence. Thank you so much for everything!!”
“Kenneth went above and beyond to help me search for some packages while I was away. Appreciate his communication and great photos. My cats are always in good hands!”
About: I’ve been around cats for as long as I can remember. I’ve had my own cat for five years and regularly care for my neighbors’ and friends’ cats. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each cat’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away.
“Kennedy was super helpful in dropping in to visit Hopper when I was out of town for a few days. She was reliable and communicative, will definitely be booking her again and would recommend!”
“Working with Winston was a great experience. I was nervous leaving my anxious kitty with someone new, but Winston's obvious caring and concern for Sammy's well-being, not just food, water and litter, showed through. Sammy even eventually came out of hiding for pets on his own, a huge accomplishment. Winston also alerted me to a maintenance issue that came up so I could get a work order in before I even got home. I would use Winston's services again in a heartbeat!”
“I reached out to Carter the day before my 2 week trip because my original cat sitter cancelled last minute. Carter responded right away and was able to accommodate last minute booking. He sent me tons of pictures and updates and did great with giving my cat her oral pills.”
About: I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone brand new, but rest assured that I’ll keep you updated every step of the way. * I'll send plenty of photos * communicate with you throughout their stay * and make sure they receive lots of pets, cuddles, playtime, and attention. I even talk to them throughout the day because I believe they deserve plenty of interaction and stimulation too! I’ve loved animals since I was a kid. My very first cat was named Sparkle, after the cat from Barbie and the Diamond Castle, and she started my lifelong love for cats. As long as we communicate about your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs, I’ll do my best to cater to them and make them feel comfortable and at home. I was a classroom teacher, so caring for others comes naturally to me. I’m patient, attentive, nurturing, and responsible, and I’ll care for your pets with the same love and kindness I give to my students. I’ll treat them as if they were my own 🧡
“Maryia was a fantastic sitter for our cat Natsu! She provided good updates and played with him even though our cat is a bit lazy. He definitely seems to like her. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Came home to a happy and healthy cat. Kevin was excellent in taking care of Roxy, especially with her needing extra care for her kidney issues. Would 110% recommend and look forward to booking kevin in the future”
“Great sitter, would highly recommend :) she communicated quickly and provided adorable photos and updates. We had some issues with my new apartment door and our cat eating all her treats in one day, but Val was flexible and easy to work with.”
“Marie is sooo excellent! She is incredibly thorough and detail oriented. She is such a sweet person and puts a lot of care into caring for your pet. My kitty was in the best of hands and I look forward to using Marie for future trips :)”
“Julia is a wonderful pet sitter who we’ve used many times. She always takes cute pictures of our two cats. She gives them treats, plays with them and is very attentive. She keeps us updated and is very communicative.”
“Bruce was great! He followed all instructions I left and really made an effort to approach my shy bunny in a calm, patient manner. Would absolutely book him again ◡̈”
“Allie was truly a great sitter! When we had a last minute need, she was very responsive and we were able to arrange all the details on short notice. While we were gone she provided attentive care for our cat who needed extra attention as she needed medication for a recent illness. Allie provided frequent updates and made sure our kitty stayed happy and healthy while we were away. We are so grateful for her attentive and professional care!”

“Ozzy and I really like Zhongni! She is very thoughtful, caring and really paid a lot of attention to his needs. I know she took excellent care of Ozzy while I was at work and felt very comfortable dropping him off with her. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. I highly recommend her as a sitter and will use her again for boarding!”
“I've recently relocated to Seattle for work, and while waiting for my residence to become available, I needed assistance with watching my dog, Fat Boi, during business hours. I connected with Keith, and he's been such a great help! Fat Boi is shy and very attached to me, he's prone to getting a little depressed when we aren't together, but Keith helps to enrich his days and gives him some extra socialization. Fat Boi gets to people watch out from the balcony, and go on walks to see the water, and enjoys some great snacks while hanging out with Keith! I'm grateful that he's been there to look after Fat Boi and give him attention while I'm at work. I'm a long way from home, and so is Fat Boi, and it's one less source of stress in this huge transition to have the peace of mind that my little fuzzy guy is being thoughtfully taken care of until we are reunited at the end of the day.”
“Thư was great with our dog, kept him engaged and entertained and kept me updated with photos and videos. The dog was very quickly comfortable with her and was sad to see her walk away when I picked him up. A really good sign that he enjoyed his stay. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Randsell was wonderful with our dogs. She communicated clearly, was flexible and thoughtful, and clearly took the time to understand our dogs and their personalities. We felt very comfortable leaving them with her and really appreciated the care she gave them.”
“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!”
“Samuel was absolutely amazing taking care of Flex for the day! He was attentive, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. I felt completely at ease knowing Flex was in great hands. Samuel kept everything smooth and stress free, and Flex came back happy and well cared for. I truly appreciate the care, communication, and professionalism. I would 100% trust Samuel again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable to watch their pup”
About: Several years of watching friend's and family's dogs and cats! Have fostered dogs and I nursed my rescue puppy back to perfect health. I have had her for 4 years now. I work from home, so I can provide attention to your dog all day! We are very active, with multiple walks a day around the city, off leash dog parks (if you are ok with it), and weekend visits to bigger parks! I am flexible with dropoff and can even provide pickup/dropoff within a reasonable distance of Seattle. I will tailor my schedule to accommodate your pup's bathroom schedule. In my home, the dogs are allowed everywhere. I can crate the dog if necessary. We can do a meet and greet so that your dog can get comfortable with me and my pup. I will tailor my care to your pup!
“Senel and Engin are so great with Thor! I was so lucky to find them so close to my house. Thor already loves Engin and he’s only stayed 2x so far. I will be booking them for the foreseeable future. Ps. The best part is the photos and videos. That’s above and beyond for me! 🙌🏽”
“Needed a sitter for an afternoon for my curmudgeonly senior pup. Devan was fantastic- warm, welcoming, responsive, and responsible. Fang had a good time, and we will definitely request Devan’s pup-sitting services again!”
“Andy is so amazing! She is always so positive when she greets me at pick up and drop off. She was able to start watching my dog Obi on a short notice when my pet care method changed suddenly. She was accommodating and flexible with the hours based on my needs. She informs me of any changes in his health or behavior. She also tried multiple methods to make my anxious pup more comfortable with his separation anxiety. My dog absolutely loves her and I am so happy that I have her as a resource for my pet care needs. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“My dog Frankie is absolutely obsessed with Mariia and Viktor. They take amazing care of her and are fantastic at communication with me. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“Sudharshini was a life saver. Needed someone last minute and she was very accommodating to my schedule. Norman loved his time there and hopes to see her again one day!”
“Emily was wonderful and took great care of Cooper and took him for an hour long walk and kept me updated with pictures and messages so that I could be sure things were going smoothly! I would highly recommend her.”
“Antonio watched my dog with not even a 12 hour notice. He was kind and patient with my young pup and demonstrated skills consistent with a quality caretaker for my dog. He provided updates and pictures throughout the day and got my dog some much needed exercise. I am grateful he was able to help me in a time of need. His dog Rubie is a sweetheart too and was patient with my 1.5 year old pup.”
“Madelaine is so attentive to my pup Leo. She provides me with feedback on his behavior after each time she watches him, and has adjusted walk frequency and what he needs to be happiest and well exercised. I appreciate her prompt responses and advance notice when she’ll be away when I set up time with her. Leo comes home calm and is at ease when I pick him up. Highly recommend - she knows what she’s doing and I enjoy working with her!”
“Andy was great! He met us beaucoup early in the AM on a weekend to come and pick our puppy up from a hotel where we were catching a tour bus. He then sent copious videos for our perusal throughout the day, so we could see our puppers having as much fun as we were having on tour. Andy was very accommodating and communicative about both pickup and drop-off times too — highly recommend!”
About: I got my first pup when I turned 11 and have cared for them ever since, going on 14 years of owning a pet. Both dogs and cats! I enjoy interacting with pets and making them feel special on walkies or just hanging out with them. I currently run a small business so I am able to set my own hours and attend to other things such as walking or caring for your pet. I have a fenced in yard and three fur children in my household. Two dogs and a cat. I can also crate if needed for your pet.

About: I have experience with dog sitting for a family member on and off if they were out for the day or on a trip out of town for a longer period of time. I also sat for a friend that has both a cat and a dog. My other skills include babysitting (I have done this while dog sitting at the same time) and some experience in senior home care. For a period of 6 months, I took care of another family member managing their tube-feeding, medications, and working together with the nurse team to communicate updates, issues and check in on appointments. I do work online, currently building a business. I try to schedule my work around typical business hours (between 8am-5pm) but can adjust around for pet care sits or visits since I'm remote. I do most tasks Monday-Friday with the most availability being on the weekends, most specifically Saturdays. I am very good with taking directions on pets' needs. If they have a certain schedule or specialized regimen, I make sure to keep track and make sure the same rhythm is kept as if the owner is still with them. I also respect the ground rules of a client's home knowing that they are trusting to me by allowing me the visit. I also like learning the different personalities so I'd like to try and bond with the pets even if it's for a short time!
“Alison is responsible, punctual, and very positive in her approach. She managed to take a nervous puppy who wouldn’t get out of her crate up to the level where she now has a new friend who wants to share her favorite blanket. I highly recommend her for your dog walking needs!”
About: Experienced in day-caring and boarding dogs. Have a two year old Cavapoo at home in which I can provide a clean, safe, and entertaining place for your doggy. I walk pets as a way to relief myself from home working environment. Furthermore, interacting with pets also helps my stress relief and I am happy to keep this a daily routine. I had a cage and fence for my dog when he was a younger one, we have potty trained him and rewarded him. He was free ranged in living room and common spaces besides bedroom and bathroom now.
“Jana is the best. She has been very reliable and helpful with my senior dog on walks she has been recovering from surgery. Very appreciative of Jana’s care and professionalism!”
About: I’ve had the privilege of taking care of my childhood dog from her being a puppy to her twilight years. I have familiarity with the general caregiving tasks and engaging time someone can have with pets, but also pay deliberate attention to detail that owners can give for how to best take care of them. I am currently working on building up my work schedule with clients, so while that’s going on my availability might decrease as time passes. At the moment of starting though, I have a great deal of free time to extend to others. I’m used to monitoring and engaging with pets to a great degree, so that even when I’m not playing with them I have a mindset of monitoring behavior and noticing if there’s anything different in their environment that could cause issue. If they’re resting/sleeping I’m keen on keeping an eye on them periodically to see if they’re alright.
About: While I don’t have extensive professional experience caring for other people’s pets, I have been around animals my entire life. My family has always had either a cat or a dog, which has given me experience with the daily responsibilities of caring for pets and understanding their needs. I currently have open availability Monday through Sunday, from mornings through evenings. Since I am not working at the moment, I have a flexible schedule and am available for house sitting or dog walking for extended periods as needed. While I do not currently have any pets of my own, I am committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for every client’s pet. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for while they are with me.
“Ludo, who I adopted two months ago, has been adjusting and having some accidents. Bruce has been so communicative and has cleaned up his accidents even though I absolutely do not expect him to and have not asked him to. I cannot express how grateful and relieved I am to have him coming to walk Ludo while I am working. I know my special needs dog, who has seizures, is in great hands!!!!”
About: I grew up with a Maltese-Shih Tzu mix, so I’ve had experience caring for dogs from a young age. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping up with your dog’s usual routine. While most of my experience has been with smaller dogs, I’m also comfortable caring for friendly medium and larger dogs and would love having a walking buddy! My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m completely free on Mondays! I can easily stop by for check-ins, feeding, walks, and some quality time with your pet. I’m also happy to have pets stay with me, including overnight, if you prefer a more home-away-from-home experience. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a designated pet relief area, and my neighborhood is very walkable with plenty of options for walks and outdoor time. I’ll always follow each owner’s instructions and their pet’s usual routine closely, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home.
About: I lived with my roommate’s two dogs, the sweetest Labrador and Labradoodle, for 2.5 years and absolutely loved having them around! I regularly took them on walks and cared for them whenever my roommate was out of town, so I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping dogs company while their owner is away. I absolutely love dogs and would be so happy to care for yours like they were my own! I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and can often be available during the daytime or on shorter notice. I live in an apartment in the First Hill/Cap Hill area with a park nearby for walks and plenty of outdoor time. I’m happy to follow whatever routine or instructions you have and can send plenty of pictures and updates while they’re with me!
“Erin has been wonderful to work with! Great communication on scheduling and feedback about my dogs. They loved her instantly on our meet and greet! Thank you Erin for taking care of them!”
“Fantastic experience for mom (while traveling) and fur baby (home, waiting…) for a long weekend away. Alex did a wonderful job with our pup who was thrilled with her daily outings to her favorite parks and daily updates. Already booked for our next vacation and so happy knowing our dog is in excellent hands!”
About: I have taken care of family dogs for many years, and have raised my own two Golden Retrievers from 8 weeks old. I have always loved animals and love learning how to communicate with them. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can work with whatever requirements you have. I also live downtown with a car, so I can drive to you. I am happy to take your dog for a walk, give them pets/cuddles in your home, or play with them in your yard! I am comfortable walking multiple dogs at once (if you have more than one) or can take your pups for individual walks if needed. I will treat your animals as if they were my own!
“This is the second time we have used Akiko and for a second time she has exceeded our expectations. At the risk of making her too popular, at least amongst discerning pet parents, I cannot recommend Akiko more highly. She is a delight to work with, a delight to communicate with and the dogs are always improved when we return. That is impressive in itself because our dogs are practically perfect in every way already. ;-) In a nutshell: you would be very fortunate to book Akiko for dog walking or house sitting. Very fortunate indeed.”
“Jeffrey was very friendly, communicative and easy to work with. We are looking for someone long term and looking forward to working more with him.”
“Working with Leslie was a great experience! She was super easy to communicate with and great with my crazy Siberian Husky. It was easy to tell she had lots of experience with dogs of all types. I will be definitely be working with Leslie again 10/10 would recommend!”

“Luna had a great time with Erica and her dogs for a 1 week+ boarding stay! We haven’t left Luna with anyone new in years but with some last minute changes, we’re glad to have met Erica. Luna was aptly spoiled and loved the whole household. We got lots of updates throughout our trip. Would highly recommend and will book with Erica again!”
“This is the second time our 1 year old lab stayed with Kandice and family and he stayed for longer; 10 days. He seemed so happy and pooped when he came home. Kandice and family take the time to get to know him, work with him on things like leash walking and appreciate his foibles like chasing squirrels and playing tug-of-war with their dogs.”
“Pramukh is an excellent communicator and was flexible with drop-off / pick-up times. He sent daily status reports with multiple pictures; I felt assured my BFF was in good hands and cared for.”
“Marden is great - my dog gets very excited when she sees him. He takes such good care and has taught her a few manners too - tough to do with a husky. Your dog will be in great care when staying w/Marden.”
“Joseph was an amazing dog sitter! He kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me such peace of mind. My dog had so much fun and came home happy and well cared for 🐶❤️ I really appreciate the great care and would definitely recommend Joseph to anyone looking for a caring sitter!”
“My 2 year old Springer Spaniel Boxer mix, Edie, had a wonderful time with Jana and her family! When I normally leave Edie at her doggy daycare to travel, she barely eats and seems anxious when I come to pick her up. Not the case this time! Edie ate all the food I had packed for her along with all the treats! She loved running around and puppy style wrestling with Hazel! Jana gave me updates twice a day with pictures and videos of the ladies playing. I truly do believe that Edie had a dog vacay with Hazel and Jana!”
“Genevieve is a great sitter! Highly responsive and shared check-in photos which is much appreciated. Junes warmed to her right away which was great as well :) Looking forward to Junes staying with Genevieve again later this month.”
“Adam was great again with our older big boy Peyton. He is our go to and top choice when we need a sitter! Communicative and caring and takes detailed notes for care instructions. Peyton is happy everytime he goes there.”
