“Laila’s love for pups shows. She was extremely caring with our pup and kept us informed with photos. We were so nervous, as we’ve never left our pup with anyone but she really put us at ease. We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone trustworthy, caring and professional to watch their pup!”
“Elise and James took such good care of Moss. She got many walks a day, got to play with the neighbor dog, and got lots of cuddling. It was so nice to know she was in such good hands!”
“Carl is an amazing sitter! Very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and I could tell our boy was very comfortable and having a great time while we were gone. Carl’s space is fantastic for any pets, our dog loved being there. I will absolutely reach out to Carl first in the future for any sitting needs.”
“While this 5 star review may read as alarming, we were in fact very pleased with Christopher and his response. We had a good meet and greet with Christopher and his dogs, our dogs played together and our dog Demi explored his yard area which we examined. Unfortunately when boarding her we learned something critical about Demi, the discovery process for which was very stressful for everyone involved. Our dog turns out to be able to jump to the top of a 6 foot wooden fence and walk along the top. We know this because Christopher was supervising and saw it happen. After she jumped down to the other side, he sprung into action. He was then able to corral her into another neighbor's front yard and called us as Demi was avoiding his attempts to recapture. We drove over and quickly located Christopher and the neighbors he had recruited and collected Demi who was happy and healthy. While Demi temporarily escaping to the neighborhood was shocking, Christopher's actions leading up to that were in line with our expectations and his actions in response were commendable.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kenny. From day one, he showed genuine love and patience toward my dog. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was comfortable and well cared for. I would absolutely trust him again! Recommend Kenny 100%”
“My puppy, Lucy, I felt, was in very good hands with Vivian. Her demeanor is calming, reassuring and knowledgeable. It was evident from the "meet up" and also the way our dog was introduced into the small "pack" at her home that she had an innate understanding of dogs. A very conscientious sitter who continually sent me photos and videos. I could see for myself that Lucy was having a wonderful time. Without reservation, I will be in touch with Vivian the next time Lucy needs a sitter! Thank you Vivian!!!”
“Leio and Leah and their family were amazing! They poured so much attention and affection to our dog and it's clear he loved every minute of it. They were communicative and provided great photos during our trip which we really loved as well. Would definitely return to for future sittings!”
“Sarah is the absolute best! She and her son treat our pup like family. She’s great about checking in, super accommodating and communicative, obviously experienced and a natural with annimals, and just a wonderful human. We feel so lucky to have found her!”
“Mckenna and her mom Shirley are the best caretakers of my wonderful old dog Chewie that I could ever imagine. He's near end of life now, but Mckenna still agreed to take him for a day in October even after his challenging week long stay at her house in September. Thank you, Mckenna and Shirley!”
“Martha and her family are just the best. Charlie had the best time spending the week with them. Martha sent pictures of Charlie and he settled in nicely there. Charlie got really attached to Martha’s daughter and it brought us comfort knowing he was truly treated like their own. Martha first watched my previous schnauzer 9 years ago! We’ll definitely use them again and highly recommend them!”
“Loic and Kristen were wonderful with the dogs! They made sure they got plenty of exercise and attention. The dogs loved spending time with their two children, especially Leo!”
“Anhelina is the best cat sitter! She’s watched my cat, Simon, three times now, and every experience has been amazing. She sends me daily photo updates, is always quick to respond, and truly cares about Simon’s well-being. I always feel completely at ease knowing he’s in her care. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Olivia is so amazing! She was super attentive, detail-oriented, and took such good care of our very attention-needy pup. I can tell my dog had the best time at Olivia’s. Highly recommend!”
“Maria and Kalyan continue to be our go-to Rover for our dog, Feliks. We know Feliks is in the best care when he’s with them, which allows us to truly enjoy being out of town without worry. Feliks also loves getting to spend time with his friend Nikko! 😊”
“Emily did a meet and greet with my nervous dog the day before boarding and he could not have immediately loved her more. The next day he whined and pulled to get to her when we arrived. Emily sent pics and updates during his stay and even made him a jaunty new fashion accessory. 10/10!”
“Molly was great! We got plenty of updates and pictures throughout the day. One of our boys is slow to warm up and can be grumbly/barky with new people and she was very patient with him and both dogs seemed to have a great time!”
“Josh is hands down the best dog sitter we've ever had! He took incredible care of my dog, Moose, and treated him like his own. Josh was patient, attentive, and genuinely loving—it was clear from the start that he truly cares about animals. I got regular updates, photos, and could tell Moose was having a great time. It’s such a relief to know my dog is in such good hands. Can’t recommend Josh enough and we are stoked to have him dog sit in the near future!”
“She took care of Zeus like it was her's,and during a travel trip going through bad weather we were delayed on picking up Zeus so he had to stay a few more days, which Tu didn't have any problems with,she can keep Zeus anytime if we need her assistance again, Thanks Tu.”
“We boarded our dog Yogurt with Kai for two weeks and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was a long stretch of time for Yogurt to be away in a different environment but Kai took such great care of her and made the transition smooth. From the regular updates and photos Kai sent, we could see Yogurt gradually relaxing and eventually feeling right at home during the stay. We would absolutely trust Kai again for future stays!”
“Heather has cared for Koda twice and she is amazing! I appreciate that she keeps me up to date with pictures and my guy always looks happy and relaxed. We love Heather!!”

“Mandy is awesome. I have a cat that needs to be walked like a dog - seriously, he only "goes" outside, and Mandy accommodates this. he needs to be walked on his schedule, not yours, and Mandy sticks to the schedule. I trust her with my fur babies regularly and I'm so glad I do!! Overall a great communicator and trustworthy pet-sitter.”
“Ash is amazing. They treat my kitten with the most care and respect her boundaries. They've gained my kittens trust and my kitten is now comfortable enough to ask for belly rubs. I recommend Ash to everyone.”
“We absolutely loved Mikaela, and so did Ronnie! This was our first time leaving our kitten home alone, so we were a little nervous, but having Mikaela take care of her was such a relief. She was reliable and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She also took the cutest pictures of Ronnie, which we loved getting! We would definitely trust Mikaela with Ronnie again and highly recommend her!”
“Rebooked with Lee after a great first experience. Always on time, stays around to give our cats company, and left our home nice and clean! Would recommend to anyone looking to leave their cats in good hands!”
“Carla came over for a meet and greet in advance and was accommodating with our timing given we had just moved. She was communicative and even brought over her own treats for our cats, one of whom was being scared in our new house so she calmed my nerves by spending extra time searching for him! She’s very friendly and clearly has a lot of experience with cats.”
“If you are looking for a pet or house sister & Anais is available look no further she is the best. We’ve used her multiple times over the past 3 years and she is proactive and is definitely an animal lover. She has gone above & beyond including this last time when I sent a late night message to her to see if she could quickly go over to our house to rescue our new baby corn snake that the cats had broken in to the room it was kept in and broken the screen top of the habitat bout and the snake had found its way downstairs & the cats were trying to play with. ( I’d unexpectedly gotten a lot of motion notices and when I checked I saw the snake on our camera with the two cats circling it!) Anais rushed over found the snake 🐍 hiding from the cats and returned it to its home, secured the snake in its habitat and made sure the cats couldn’t get back in the room and let the snake out again.”
“Stephanie took such great care of our kitties while we were gone. She sent thoughtful and detailed updates for each visit and definitely made us feel comfortable with being away. Thank you!”
“Veronica was awesome. She took care of Lunita and his space for several days while we were out of the country. She even bought him treats because he was running low! I’ll definitely work with Veronica again 💛”
“Kiwi was friendly, communicative and flexible! I appreciated all the pictures of Juney. It's clear that Kiwi takes her job seriously & puts forth great effort to make sure my pet was cared for while we were away.”
“I was so lucky to find Karen! She took amazing care of my two senior cats. Providing regular status updates and information about the cats. I felt completely at ease with her watching my kitties. Home was just as I’d left it. Would absolutely work with Karen again.”
“Mei was available and ready to help us on short notice when our flights were cancelled and we needed extra care, as well as a few additional instructions. Our kitties love her!”
“Jennifer was fantastic! She came by a week before the booking to meet Nemo, which helped ease both his and our nerves. Throughout the stay, she sent timely, detailed, and honest updates—always including sweet photos that reassured us he was doing well. She was gentle and thoughtful with our kitty, making sure to play with him, brush him, and do everything she could to ease his anxiety while we were away. It was clear Nemo was in great hands. We’re so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Always wonderful to have Lexi so taken care of when we are gone. All her little kitty needs were met, especially lots of lap time! Thank you so much!”
“Jessica is a great pet sitter! I've had the same cat sitter for years, but she was unavailable. Stressful trying to determine who to trust w/my cat who has some anxiety. Jessica was amazing from the beginning at our meet and greet. She provided amazing details and photos during her visits and any of my initial fears quickly subsided. She understands the importance of her role and is incredibly kind and professional. Wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!”

“Chris has been absolutely amazing. I just moved from across the country with one of my three dogs, and he has been having a hard time adjusting to apartment life (aka screaming his head off). After I got an email from my property manager after my first day of work I was frantically looking for a sitter for the next day. Chris was not only able to accommodate Casper the following day after my request, but also last minute on a weekend for an event I was hosting. I cannot thank Chris enough for his help and for putting up with some of Casper’s antics.”
“Evlyn was so wonderful with my dog Coco and we were lucky she was able to accept the booking despite a last-minute notice. She sent several photos throughout the day and was quick to respond both prior to and during the stay. Communicating with her was so easy and Coco seemed to have a good time with her and her dog Mikey. :) Thank you again Evlyn! We will be returning for sure. :)”
“Tu was absolutely fantastic with my girl Reggie. After drop off she sent me an update to let me know how she was adjusting to a new place and throughout the day I got pics of my bestie having her new adventure. Would 100% book again!!”
“Todd has been great with my dog, Remi! By the second time she went over for daycare, I could tell she was excited and comfortable with him. Todd is friendly, communicative, easy to coordinate with, and I feel totally at ease leaving Remi in his care. She always seems to have a great time and comes home tired. I’m happy to have found a sitter I can trust!”
“Lydia took Aggie in at last moment. Aggie is a shy dog but Lydia was able to get her comfortable in her. I loved the regular messages and video she kept sending us. Anytime we are in Seattle she will our go to person to care of Aggie. Thanks again Lydia.”
“We have just started using Williams dog daycare service and already he has treated our Thali as though he’s known her forever! He has been extremely helpful and flexible for my schedule. He clearly loves working with dogs. Our shy pup is absolutely blossoming under his care!”
“Olivia was amazing! She was very communicative as this is our first time using rover. She sent super cute photos and kept us updated throughout his stay. Ziggy had an amazing time :)”
About: Hello! I have been dog and cat sitting for at least 20 years and have several active clients in Seattle currently. I have previously worked for a dog walking and sitting business in Maryland. I have cared for puppies from 6 months through to senior, special needs pups. While no one enjoys it, I am comfortable giving pills, injections, and other medications to both cats and dogs. In my dog walking business I have walked up to four pups at the same time. I love to go on long walks, even in the rain and wind, and can throw a ball for hours! I will take care of your home and your pup with the utmost respect and love. I am a home owner with two kitties and a toddler. We are working on getting them all comfortable with dogs but for the time being we can only subject them to guests for 4 days in a row max (or they may never forgive us). While I haven't found the perfect pup for my life yet, I am very excited to be able to share my house with dogs of all ages for short stints while I'm searching. I work from home and can let pups out to go to the bathroom as needed. I love a lunch walk to get me ready for the afternoon. I have a fenced yard and a patch of grass for regular bathroom breaks. The staircase is gated so we’re always within eyeshot of any canine visitors.
“They were excellent hosts, clearly our lil guy had such a nice time with them, I’ll definitely reach out to them if I were in town again, and need someone to take care of Olaf! The entire family engaged with Olaf and kept him company, can’t recommend them enough!”
“As always, Mckenna and her mom Shirley took the best care of my old dog Chewie, and he's not easy! Thank you so much, Mckenna and Shirley! I'm always sure Chewie is happy and well taken care of when he's at your house.”
“Elan and family are great! Fast responses and kept me up to date with pictures throughout the day. My dog had a great time and came home tired from all the play. I would be comfortable with Elan watching my dog again.”
About: I cared for my own two cats for over 5 years (they’ve since passed), and I’ve always loved being around animals. I’ve lived with dogs (thanks to dog-loving roommates and family) and I’ve dog-sat for friends for many years. I’m an expert cuddler, feeder, walker, and all-around caretaker. Whether your pup loves playtime or prefers a calm, cozy environment, I’ll treat them like family. I work hybrid, so I’m home most days, and my husband is also home most days. Between the two of us, your dog will always have company, we make sure pups are never left alone for more than 3 hours at a time. We have two kids (5 and 2), so we need dogs who are very kid-friendly and can sleep through the night. If you’re unsure about either of those, our family might not be the right fit. I’m especially great with affectionate dogs and seniors who need a little extra care and patience. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and belly rubs while you’re away! (Additional note: I’m happy to board larger dogs, as long as they’re older and super mellow. As a short woman, I just want to make sure I can stay in control on walks, and with small kids at home, I’m mindful about dogs who won’t jump up or accidentally knock them over.) I work hybrid, so I’m home most days, and my husband is also home most days. Between the two of us, your dog will always have company and they will get lots of love & attention. We make sure pups are never left alone for more than 3 hours at a time. Overnight Stays: We have two kids (5 and 2), so we need dogs who are very kid-friendly and can sleep through the night. If you’re unsure about either of those, our family might not be the right fit. Doggy Daycare: Happy to host your dog during the weekdays, and provide plenty of cuddles, company, and walks. In my home, your dog will be treated like family! They’re free to roam the house, lounge on the furniture, and cuddle up with us. We have a large, almost fully fenced yard with plenty of space to explore and play (while we keep a close eye during outside time just in case). We also have great walking paths nearby for daily strolls. Whether it’s playtime, nap time, or cuddle time, your pup will get lots of attention and love throughout the day.
About: Most people call me Josh. Dogs have always been my favorite animal and I've lived with them for most of my life. I am recently dog-free and I miss having dog energy in my house. I've raised two dogs through basic obedience to adulthood, one with a class, and one largely on my own. I am personally a big believer in the methods described in The Art of Raising a Puppy, because I have had excellent results with their techniques, but will of course prioritize whatever approach is preferred by owners. I am happy to help reinforce any basic obedience your dog may be working on, as well as senior dogs. I am comfortable with a wide range of dog breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Highly reactive dogs are not my favorite, but "highly reactive" can be subjective, so I will consider such dogs on a case by case basis. I am happy to work with dogs of varying activity levels, but extremely high-activity dogs will also be considered on a case-by-case basis. I am currently working from home and am available for dropoff in-home daycare most weekdays and dog boarding (including weekends). My schedule for my dog was three walks a day (morning, afternoon/dinnertime, bedtime) so that is what I'm used to, but I am happy to work with clients to discuss their routine and work with them to agree on an experience that fits their and their dog's needs. I currently have no other animals in my home, so your dog will get my full attention as needed. I don't have a fenced yard, but I am in a residential neighborhood with a good-sized park a block away. I am reasonably close to Seward Park and the Genesee dog park as well.
About: We have grown up with dogs and have one currently (who loves all other dogs). Live in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced yard. Work from home so always home to take care of your dog. We are an active little family. Always going for walks & hanging out in the fenced backyard. Since we work from home, its perfect to fit in any amount of extra playtime or walks as needed. We have a fenced yard and quiet neighborhood. Since we have a dog, we always have toys and supplies around, but ask that you provide whatever will make them most comfortable!
About: I grew up with a loving and weird westie I trained myself, and spending plenty of time caring for neighbors pets. I also often petsit for friends in the area. I'm a WFH artist who is primarily either in my studio or in the common space of the house, meaning I'm always accessible when your pet may have a need or just wants to hang out. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of open space for exploration and exercise. The back of the house has plenty of windows for a clear view of the yard in the case i'm not also out there.
“Wonderful job taking care of Toodle! He had several nice outdoor walks and plenty of indoor playtime. I received lots of great photos throughout the day, and it was clear he really enjoyed his stay. He was happy, calm, and pleasantly tired when I picked him up.”
About: Hey, we are Rachael and Daniel. We have had dogs our entire lives and have also volunteered at adoption events, fostered animals, and watch friends' dogs all the time - can't get enough! We have a sweet 8 year old Calico who gets along really well with dogs! We also recently rescued Luana from Hawaii about a year ago. Please note we are still getting Luana used to things, so a meet and greet is necessary for boarding. We love all animals from giant crazy puppies to shy senior citizens. If we are walking or watching your pet, you can trust they will gets tons of cuddles and attention, and you will get plenty of updates and pics : ) Rachael works from home for a software company, so we have a lot of flexibility when it comes to pet care, and we are happy to customize our schedules to whatever your pet needs. Also, we will donate half of your payment to local shelters as a way to pass it on. Can't wait to meet your pup or kitty! We are both currently working from home so have lots of flexibility when it comes to taking care of animals for walks and outside breaks and feeding. We are more than happy to customize our care to whatever your pet needs (e.g. leash reactive, medical needs, etc.) as every animal is different! For boarding, noting we do have our own sweet pup and cat who get along with most dogs, but we do require a meet and greet to make sure everyone will be happy and comfortable together.
“Outstanding care for Maggie-Roo. Perry's communication was excellent from the start. He was very welcoming and Maggie-Roo had a great time. He's clearly a "dog person" and specifically has experience with GSDs. Highly recommended. Thank you, Perry!”

“Mandy walked our dogs for months and they absolutely loved her (they'd excitedly wait for her at the gate). Mandy made the logistics so easy, she was always on time, and she always left a detailed report.”
“Lee is exceptional! They have been incredible across communication, showing up and giving my dogs exactly what they need. So very thankful to have come across Lee and can’t sing their praises enough. 🙌”
About: I didn’t grow up with pets, but as an adult, being around animals has made me genuinely love and appreciate them. Over the past 2 years, I’ve dog-sat for friends on and off, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and keeping their dogs company while they were away. I’m very active and a big kid at heart, so I’m happy to keep up with energetic dogs who love walks, play, and attention. I’m also patient enough to slow down when a dog needs a gentler pace, quiet time, or extra care. I know every pet has their own personality, so I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your dog’s routine, and keep you updated so you feel comfortable while you’re away. which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and check-ins. I’m mindful about keeping pets safe and comfortable in hot weather, so during the hottest parts of the day I prefer lighter potty breaks, indoor play, or calmer care. When it’s cooler, especially in the evening after the sun goes down, I’m happy to do longer walks, active play, or more exercise for dogs who need it. My goal is to follow your dog’s routine while also paying attention to their comfort, energy level, and safety. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, medication needs if applicable, and any house rules. I’ll make sure your dog gets attention, playtime, exercise, and calm companionship based on their personality and routine. I’m also respectful of your home and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Absolutely 5 stars! Always punctual and super communicative with updates and photos. Amazing with our strong dog who needs a confident hand around triggers. Our pup comes home happy and tired every time. We trust Peter completely and can't recommend him enough!”
“Anaish was amazing and so kind to my dog! There’s definitely a reason for so many five star reviews. Couldn’t thank her enough for all the help. We will be repeat customers for sure.”
About: Hi! I'm Dan, and I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up around dogs and other pets, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Friends and neighbors have trusted me with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I've also cared for cats. I would describe myself as calm, patient, and confident. I believe animals feel most comfortable when they know they're safe, understood, and not rushed. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing in the yard, or simply relaxing nearby, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, so weekdays are best suited for pets that are comfortable being home during the workday. However, my workplace is close to home, which allows me to stop by around midday for a potty break, a walk, or some extra attention if needed. My evenings are free for walks and playtime. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and can dedicate much more time to your pet, whether that's longer walks, outdoor adventures, or simply relaxing together at home. Your pet will stay in my home with a large, fully fenced backyard. I also live close to a beautiful park. I'll treat your dog or cat like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages.
“Paul was right on time every time. I enjoyed our talk before he took on the job - seemed very experienced. My dogs slept well and got just the right amount of exercise. I highly recommend Paul.”
“Katia did a great job with Zeke. She made sure to understand his triggers and knew his usual routines. Zeke was super comfortable around her, and enjoyed the extra attention!”
“Ash did a great job walking our dog Porter for several weeks, communicating frequently so that I always had peace of mind that Porter was being well taken care of. We will definitely use Ash for future dog care needs!”
About: Hi all, I have started to travel full-time since graduating college and taking on a variety of remote, freelance, and seasonal positions. 🏠 I am visiting my friends and working at some art events in and around Seattle, and am in search of pet sitting and house sitting positions to take on during my time in town. ✈️ I adore cats and dogs 🐾, have extensive experience caring for cats and kittens of various levels of socialization 🐈, and have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends while working from my laptop. 💻 I’m also a big fan of plants and have had a garden on every balcony of every apartment I’ve ever lived in! 🌱 I work in art, writing, and event production and have a background volunteering in civil legal aid and working in public arts. I’m passionate about community building, and I want to retain strong ties to my community in Bellingham as I begin this explorational chapter of my life. My availability is clearly and accurately visible on my Rover calendar. Thanks so much for your time, and I hope to connect! More about my pet care experience: I have experience with a variety of cats at different levels of socialization, age range (kittens included), and behavior. I’m the go-to person when my friends need a cat sitter (or just cat advice)! I watched my neighbor’s beagle in sixth grade and have experience dog sitting off-and-on ever since; I’m confident with smaller and small-to-medium dogs but have less experience with big dogs. I strive to creative meaningful interactions between pets, their humans, and I; in doing so, I follow through on excellent care—and enjoy the opportunity to spend time with furry friends! I work part-time and sometimes travel for art and event production work, so (as you’ll see in my calendar) my availability fluctuates. On my available days, I’m always free to stop by for both a morning and an evening visit. I am extremely respectful of other peoples’ spaces when I’m visiting, I’m a very tidy person, and I believe in leaving everywhere better than I found it. This extends to pets’ homes during overnight visits!
About: I've been a pet owner since I was 2 years old and have taken care of rabbits, cats, dogs, rats, and fish over the years. I then became a professional dog walker for a couple years in my 20s and am certified in pet CPR. Currently, I am mom to a rescue 7 yr old Chorgi (Chihuahua+Corgi) who is the sweetest girl in the world. I'm an author so I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I prefer days over evenings but am generally available for any timeframe. I have a fully fenced in yard that is about a quarter of an acre and my sweet 20lb pup who gets along with everyone (adults, children, cats, and dogs alike). I live alone in the basement apartment of a larger house and have full use of the yard. I would need to bring my dog with me if I do any overnights at clients' homes.
About: Passionate and dedicated pet sitter with years of experience caring for animals of all kinds. Committed to providing personalized, loving attention to ensure your furry friends feel safe and cherished while you're away. Complete with reliable communication, frequent photos and updates. Trustworthy, attentive, and reliable—your pets are in great hands! I currently work some days at home, and some days out of the home, making it easy to manage pet and home care. If caring for dogs, I love to bring them alone on adventures if able. I also enjoy days in the home with lots of furry friend snuggles. Friendly pet and house sitter committed to keeping your pets safe and loved. I ensure the house stays very clean and tidy and am happy to handle any other agreed-upon tasks. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can see how well your pets are doing while you’re away.
About: My experience includes fostering senior dogs with special needs, raising and training our own standard poodle, walking a variety of dogs with unique traits and proclivities. During house sits I have a quiet routine and would spend most of my time sitting with your pet doing my quiet activities aside from playtime and long walks. I enjoy exploring new trails and am happy to keep to your pet’s familiar routines too. I am experienced in delivering medications and special diets at home. I leave your home cleaner than I found it, practicing ‘leave no trace’. I currently focus on pursuing interests via reading, writing, cooking, painting, and creating botanical perfumes and essential oil blends for friends and family. Playing with my 4 leggeds at home and caring for your beloved pets balances exercise and playful engagement with my solo activities. I am reliable, communicate with words and photos, and will get to know your pet very well. I like to focus on your pets’ needs and spread my time around their care.
About: Since 2009 I've been providing solo leash walks for dogs up to 50lbs, drop-in visits for cats and overnight pet sitting in Seward Park, Columbia City, Lakewood, Mt. Baker, Leschi & Pritchard Beach. I'm insured through Pet Sitters Associates LLC as well as Rover and I’m certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. Also experienced in administering insulin injections, subq fluids, tube feedings, pills, ear and eye meds. I have experience with a wide range of pets besides cats and dogs; birds, fish, rabbits, chickens, ducks and turkeys. Whatever yours is rest assured they will be well-taken care of, loved & spoiled in your absence. I'm retired and single so I will have plenty of time to spend with them. On overnights I'm usually there until 9 or 10 Am unless I have other pets to visit. I'll be back by dinner time and there for the rest of the evening unless I have evening drop-in visits to make. I follow your rules in your home on visits and overnights. With your approval I use flower essences when necessary to help anxious or shy pets relax. Since I'm retired I have plenty of time mornings and evenings for drop-in visits. Mid-days Monday thru Friday I walk dogs from 11-3. I can manage most time frames you need. I take my time letting the pet get used to my presence. I always bring treats for dogs or toys for cats to ease the process. I carry gentle leader harnesses for dogs who are pullers to help bring them to heel and make the walk comfortable for both of us.

“Elise and James took such good care of Moss. She got many walks a day, got to play with the neighbor dog, and got lots of cuddling. It was so nice to know she was in such good hands!”
“Carl is an amazing sitter! Very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and I could tell our boy was very comfortable and having a great time while we were gone. Carl’s space is fantastic for any pets, our dog loved being there. I will absolutely reach out to Carl first in the future for any sitting needs.”
“My puppy, Lucy, I felt, was in very good hands with Vivian. Her demeanor is calming, reassuring and knowledgeable. It was evident from the "meet up" and also the way our dog was introduced into the small "pack" at her home that she had an innate understanding of dogs. A very conscientious sitter who continually sent me photos and videos. I could see for myself that Lucy was having a wonderful time. Without reservation, I will be in touch with Vivian the next time Lucy needs a sitter! Thank you Vivian!!!”
“Leio and Leah and their family were amazing! They poured so much attention and affection to our dog and it's clear he loved every minute of it. They were communicative and provided great photos during our trip which we really loved as well. Would definitely return to for future sittings!”
“Sarah is the absolute best! She and her son treat our pup like family. She’s great about checking in, super accommodating and communicative, obviously experienced and a natural with annimals, and just a wonderful human. We feel so lucky to have found her!”
“Maria and Kalyan continue to be our go-to Rover for our dog, Feliks. We know Feliks is in the best care when he’s with them, which allows us to truly enjoy being out of town without worry. Feliks also loves getting to spend time with his friend Nikko! 😊”
“Molly was great! We got plenty of updates and pictures throughout the day. One of our boys is slow to warm up and can be grumbly/barky with new people and she was very patient with him and both dogs seemed to have a great time!”
“Josh is hands down the best dog sitter we've ever had! He took incredible care of my dog, Moose, and treated him like his own. Josh was patient, attentive, and genuinely loving—it was clear from the start that he truly cares about animals. I got regular updates, photos, and could tell Moose was having a great time. It’s such a relief to know my dog is in such good hands. Can’t recommend Josh enough and we are stoked to have him dog sit in the near future!”
“She took care of Zeus like it was her's,and during a travel trip going through bad weather we were delayed on picking up Zeus so he had to stay a few more days, which Tu didn't have any problems with,she can keep Zeus anytime if we need her assistance again, Thanks Tu.”
“Daria was wonderful with our dog while we were away for holiday travel. She was so sweet to work with us through schedule changes and delayed flight. We highly recommend Daria!”
“Lilly had a great time with Milana! Lilly got lots of attention, hugs, walks in the park, and play time. Milana sent lots of adorable photos. I will definitely book Milana next time I need a sitter for Lilly!!”
“Recently had our first stay with Kandice and couldn't be happier with the experience. We did a meet and greet before the stay and it was obvious that Kandice is an experienced professional. We felt very comfortable entrusting her with our pet for a 8 night stay. Throughout the stay, Kandice gave wonderful updates. Overall, it was a very positive experience for us as owners and judging from the updates our dog had a great time too! We will definitely re-book with Kandice for our next trip.”
“Yini was great! She helped with two bookings that I needed which were canceled last minute. She was a huge help with taking care of Amaya. She sent tons of pictures and it was easy to see how happy Amaya was doing. I will definitely be reaching out for more help when Amaya needs to be taken care of.”
“Elan was great! River had an injured/infected paw and Elan made sure to clean his paw daily and had his sock on so he wouldn’t lick his wound. She was also great with communication. Thank you, Elan!”
“Ashley took awesome care of and provided a calm, happy environment for my animal-reactive senior pittie while also rolling with my dog's developing medical/prescription needs in the leadup to her stay. Lots of updates and snuggle photos let me know my girl was well loved while I was gone for the week. Very grateful for such quality care and will definitely be reaching out for future boarding needs!”
“Nichole and Andrew hosted Reg for the long weekend and I'm so happy he got to stay with them. Nichole and Andrew were great communicators, sending pics throughout the stay keeping me updated. When I picked up Reg, it was like he didn't want to leave! Reg will definitely be back to stay with Nichole and Andrew and their family!”
“Scarlett took amazing care of my dog Buckley! He is a senior dog and requires medications and she was able to administer his medications and care for him in the way he needs (short walks/potty breaks and lots of lounging and cuddle time). We will definitely be booking with Scarlett again!”
“Deborah was amazing! She took great care of my Sofie, taking her for walks a couple times a day, lots of play time and love. Sofie is not usually very affectionate to people she doesn't know and it seemed like she became very comfortable in her home quickly. Deborah is experienced with dogs who are not friendly with other animals which was perfect. She even remembered the small details, I briefly mentioned that Sofie isn't a big fan of rain and while Sofie stayed with them she sent a picture of Sofie in a raincoat that Deborah had on hand! So sweet 🥰 She is definitely on the top of our list of contacts for a dog sitter!”
“Joseph did a great job with communication, giving my dog what she needed, and helping me feel confident about having her in his care. Would definitely book again!”
