All our instructions were carried with high fidelity. So grateful for the care our kitties received! Thanks Riley!”
“Allison watched my sweet, people-loving kitty for a week over the holidays. I was anxious to leave her, but I was reassured by the pics and updates Allison sent with every drop-in visit. When I got home I could tell she took excellent care of my cat. Luna did not seem stressed at all! I appreciate the care Allison took to make sure my cat’s routines were kept consistent, and the time spent giving her love and attention. My happy cat and the peace of mind is priceless. Thanks again Allison!!”

It was very comforting to know that the kitties were happy and well taken care of while I was away. :)”

About: I have had at least one dog in my family since I was born, so I have been constantly surrounded by these wonderful animals my entire life (and wouldn't have it any other way). I thrive on the connections I can make with animals, and know how to curate a calming yet playful environment so both my pets and those I dog-sit feel safe and supported. Growing up, I helped teach my dogs tricks, potty train, walk and do heavy exercise (ball-chasing, etc.), as well as comforting my elder dogs in their final moments of life. From puppies to senior canines, I have been around it all! I am in a graduate student at the University of Washington, currently on a part-time student schedule which frees up time for me to pursue opportunities I care about, such as pet care. Aside from class time on weekdays, I am willing to work with clients on a flexible schedule to care for pets weekdays and/or weekends. I am easily adaptable in new environments and do not mind entering homes/yards in order to provide the best care for your pet. I want to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible for drop-in visits and/or walks around a neighborhood/park/etc.
“Olena went above and beyond and took great care of our kitties. I really appreciated the pictures showing that they were first a little shy with her and then very happy to see her at each visit. Great feedback about them and it made it so much easier to enjoy our vacation. Definitely recommend!”
“Having a consistent sitter like Mandy is such a blessing. I travel a lot for work, and it's a great piece of mind to know that my Daisy is in trustworthy hands. Much thanks!”
“Braxton was such a great sitter for our cat Pickles! He was attentive and communicative throughout the time we were gone. You could tell Pickles was almost disappointed that we came back home because that meant no more cuddles and treats from Braxton. Highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is that I truly enjoy caring for animals and building trust with each pet I meet. As a former Division I athlete, I’m dependable, responsible, and committed to following routines exactly as instructed. Whether your cat loves space, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I adapt to their individual needs. I’m happy to handle feeding schedules, medications, litter boxes, and cleanup, and I always provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Simon was such an incredible sitter and was so attentive to my cats’ needs. I was getting consistent updates and lots of pictures, just like I asked! I couldn’t have asked for better care for my cats while I was away, and I will absolutely be rebooking.”
“Maria was excellent. She was able to make friends with our shy kitty and we returned to a happy and healthy cat. Her updates were timely and informative and the pictures she shared really helped give peace of mind as to the condition of our cat. She even collected our mail which was not expected but a welcome help nonetheless.”
“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!”
“Aileen did a great job caring for our five cats while we were away for a week. It was a very hot week and we had a lot of smoke. Aileen was very helpful in making sure they were as comfortable as they could be given the circumstances. One of the kitties had some issues while were out and she kept us posted on what was happening which allowed us to get her the care she needed upon our return.”
“Caleb was a fantastic cat sitter! He was reliable and communicative. He sent us daily updates with pictures and most importantly, Caleb gave us peace of mind knowing our cat was in good hands. We'll definitely be using Caleb again next time we need a sitter.”

“Yufang took such great care of Taco! Her home is well set up for dog care — safe, clean, and comfortable. Taco got plenty of playtime, attention, and belly rubs, and came home happy and relaxed. I really appreciated all the pics and video.”
About: Growing up with different kinds of pets(dogs, cats,birds,turtles,goldfish,rabbits,hamsters…) throughout 30 years of my life, I can’t imagine a minute without pets.And that’s the reason why I started my career as a pet groomer 13 years ago. I am experienced in taking care of all breeds of dogs and cats,as well as other pets.Now I am a ‘mom’ of a 5 year-old dachshund and a 4 year-old Frenchie,I just can’t love them more and am so looking forward to meeting your fur kids! I just moved in Seattle so I am available almost everyday!Feel free to contact me if you have any questions and I will be glad to hear from you.Look forward to meeting your fur kiddos soon!

“Lauren provides outstanding care for my dog, Phoebe, during daycare. I love receiving regular updates and photos, which gives me great peace of mind while I'm at work. When I pick Phoebe up, she’s always happy and relaxed, and now she gets excited when we arrive for drop-off. I rely on Lauren’s daycare services weekly and will definitely be booking Phoebe for overnight boarding when I go away. Highly recommend – 5 stars!”
“Darlayna took great care of our pup! She took him on two walks, sent pictures, and very responsive! When it was time to pick him up, our dog looked like he’d been having a great time!”
About: As a 4th‑year Informatics student at the University of Washington, I’m naturally detail‑oriented and dependable — but my real foundation in pet care comes from growing up with 20+ breeds and species of animals. I’ve spent my whole life learning how different personalities communicate, what helps them feel safe, and how to build trust at their pace. I currently live with three cats, so I’m especially tuned in to the little things: body‑language shifts, routine preferences, and comfort cues. Whether I’m caring for a cat or a dog, I focus on creating a calm, predictable day — fresh food and water, clean spaces, gentle enrichment, and companionship that matches their energy. Every pet I care for gets the same patience, warmth, and respect I give my own. I’m a part‑time UW student and part‑time worker, so my schedule is steady and predictable. I build pet care into my daily routine — morning and evening check‑ins, fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, walks or playtime, and calm companionship. Weekly, I make sure pets get extra enrichment, light grooming, and a tidy, comfortable space. No matter how full my week is, your pet’s routine stays consistent and cared for. I share my apartment with three cats, so the environment here is naturally calm, pet‑friendly, and set up with animals in mind. There are plenty of cozy resting spots, clean spaces, and enrichment areas that keep pets comfortable and stimulated. Living with multiple cats has taught me how to maintain a peaceful, well‑managed home where routines stay consistent and every pet has room to feel safe and relaxed. Whether I’m caring for your cat or your dog, they’ll be in a space that’s warm, tidy, and designed with animals’ comfort in mind.

“I brought TWO dogs to Chunli very last minute. I had my dog and my daughter's dog. Chunli was incredibly sweet to them. She took them on several long walks and my daughter's dog is a RELENTLESS player with balls and Chunli very patiently played with her for way longer than I would have! They each had different feeding instructions and different dog foods and she followed all the instructions to the letter. The dogs were picked up at the end of a long day happy and barely even noticing I was there. I would totally use Chunli again.”
“Phoebe was amazing and took great care of Maizey. She had a day full with adventures and joy. Phoebe was very communicative, super reliable and very sweet with Maizey. Highly recommend!”
“we had a great experience with eric! He watched our two pups for daycare and was incredibly communicative throughout the day—sending lots of photo updates and checking in often. One of my dogs is usually very fearful of new people, but he was patient and kind, and she warmed up to him quickly. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We highly recommend eric !”
“Wonderful experience! My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable during her time with Margot. Communication was great, and I really appreciated the care and attention. I've already booked again! Highly recommend!”
“Bubbles seemed to have a fun evening with Jun. Just as important, Jun seemed to enjoy Bubbles! Jun was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. He even sent Bubbles home with a new toy.🙂”
About: With my corgi Nori as my sidekick, together, we provide daycare days to relaxed overnight stays and refreshing walks. We make sure every pup feels happy, safe, and loved. Nori enjoys meeting new friends, and I make sure keep playtime supervised and stress-free. Expect wagging tails, regular updates, and lots of TLC. I work fully remote, so I'll be at home all day with your pup. We have a little yard out front and are in a great walking location. Pups are never left alone for long periods and receive consistent supervision, attention, and care. Because I’m home, I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, medication, and crate time if needed. I don't accept more than 2 dogs per day (for both boarding and day care) so you can be sure that your pup will get plenty of attention! I have a little fenced yard out front and a big living room space for the pups to play in, and plenty of space for crates if your pup uses one. Pups also welcome to chill the couch with tons of blankets, and also more than welcome to snuggle in bed if they so choose.
“Devan was awesome! Great communication and a natural at connecting with dogs and keeping them engaged. Benji did not want to leave! We hope to see Devan 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.
“We absolutely LOVED our time with Cheryl. She was so attentive to all of Millie’s needs and truly went above and beyond. She’s experienced, kind, reliable, and even spent time training Millie! We would definitely recommend her services and will be booking again.”

About: I am a current junior at UW from Dallas, Texas and I love animals so much and have felt so sad that I cannot have them in my living situation at school. I would DELIGHTED to take care of yours :) I have spent years taking care of my animals, my neighbors, and my family friends. I am able to hangout with your pets as long and as many times as you need! I am living near UW working a part-time job. I can do anything for you - whatever is needed! I have spent hours finding my own cat (we resorted to putting an airtag on her) and I will be willing to do that for you as well! I have also spent the last year walking 3 dogs through other apps frequently 3x a week.
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: 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!
“Today was our first walk with Sebastian, and everything went well. Sebastian is professional, courteous, and reliable. My dog is thrilled to have a new friend.”
“Isabella is awesome! We’ve used her several times for walks now and Frankie always comes back super happy. Will definitely continue using Isabella for more walks in the future”
“Margaret did wonderfully with my nervous dog Kona! She pays close attention to detail and followed the care and access instructions to a T. She is very good about reading dog body language and understanding when a pet may be too hot, or too tired and goes off of the signals sent by the dog. She is super sweet and detail oriented and even takes great pictures of the pets under her care! Would absolutely book again!”
“Brittany was incredible to work with! Sawyer loved her immediately. She took him on a nice long walk and sent nice photo updates. Very friendly and communicative and helped me out last minute. Highly recommend!”
About: I love staying active and spending time outdoors, which makes dog sitting and walking such a joy for me. Whether your dog loves long walks, quick potty breaks, or energetic playtime, I’m happy to match their energy. I’m reliable, communicative, and always focused on keeping your pets safe and smiling! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I'm currently on a long winter break during my second year of medical school at UW. I'm looking to fill my days with some friendly cuddles and to smiles during the dark Seattle Winter before starting hospital clerkships in April! I have a fenced back patio and a lot of living space in my 3-bedroom townhome that I share with my sister. We don't have any pets, so I'd be 100% devoted to caring for your pet while he's at his home away from home!
About: When I was 10 I started a business in my apartment community offering to watch pets for cash, by hand writing our house phone number on a piece of printer paper and taping it to the mailboxes. Started then and never stopped! 20 years later I’ve trained several puppies, worked 4yrs at a vet clinic, become the go-to groomer for my friends and I couldn’t be happier! Currently I am taking a break from corporate America before I start trade school. My books are open! I can accommodate most scheduling requests. :) I have a fairly small space and a dog of my own but we spend a lot of time outside! As such, for boarding I prefer smaller pets, or those that can be safely taken to the park for exercise.
About: I have had at least one dog in my family since I was born, so I have been constantly surrounded by these wonderful animals my entire life (and wouldn't have it any other way). I thrive on the connections I can make with animals, and know how to curate a calming yet playful environment so both my pets and those I dog-sit feel safe and supported. Growing up, I helped teach my dogs tricks, potty train, walk and do heavy exercise (ball-chasing, etc.), as well as comforting my elder dogs in their final moments of life. From puppies to senior canines, I have been around it all! I am in a graduate student at the University of Washington, currently on a part-time student schedule which frees up time for me to pursue opportunities I care about, such as pet care. Aside from class time on weekdays, I am willing to work with clients on a flexible schedule to care for pets weekdays and/or weekends. I am easily adaptable in new environments and do not mind entering homes/yards in order to provide the best care for your pet. I want to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible for drop-in visits and/or walks around a neighborhood/park/etc.
“Maria was great! She showed up on time every day and sent photos and updates of my dog's walks. He looked happy, and I'm glad he got to get outside during my work day. I'll definitely be booking with her again.”
“She does a wonderful job, she is polite and respectful, diligent, and professional. She has her boyfriend come help her sometimes and it has caused zero issues or quality issues, he has also been respectful of my property and my dogs. I always get a picture of the walk walk and my puppies are happy. I have two great dogs, but one is a puller and haven’t heard any issues. I couldn’t be more happy.”
“Angela is wonderful! She keeps things fun by bringing our dog to different parks, and she’s super communicative so we always know how things went. Our dog has a thick coat, so Angela always makes sure to stay in the shade or near water on hot days which makes the walks much more enjoyable for our dog!”
About: I have prior experience taking care of dogs of all sizes, and are familiar with ways to care for both young puppies & older dogs. I am currently interning but willing/able to take care of the pets when necessary (particularly on the weekends). I also have a mode of transportation when necessary. I am comfortable engaging with dogs/spending quality time with pets, feeding them when needed, and playing with them as well. I additionally will respect and be communicative of any rules/regulations the client may have.
About: Whenever friends ask me to watch their pet whether it’s for a day, weekend or a week I feel honored, because they are entrusting me to watch a part of their family. Growing up with dogs I have always loved pets and miss having one immensely. Whenever I am pet sitting for friends I make sure to do check-ins and send fun selfies to the pawrent to help them keep their mind at ease! I am working to get a fully remote role, that way u am able to take care and provide as much time and attention as needed I live in a clean and safe apartment with my cruel friend, we keep things neat and tidy, when we had a friends cat with us for 2 weeks we made sure nothing was able to be wrecked and that anything the cat needed was attended to immediately. Whenever I watch a friends pet at their house, I make sure to follow the schedule exactly that they set because I am in their home and want to respect them as highly as I can.
About: Hi! I have lots of volunteer experience and special training with shy/timid dogs. I’m extremely responsible and have taken care of dogs my whole life.

About: Babysitting dogs is one of favorite activities ever. They're so good and so sweet. I have a few years of professional dog care experience notched. I can make time for animal care.

“Sheena took great care of my dog, Uno. She handled introductions between Uno and her own dog really well. She updated me with photos, and Uno looked like he was having a great time. It was clear he was in good hands and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Sheena to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter.”
“Emily was an incredible sitter for my golden retriever, Scout! She went above and beyond, taking Scout on long walks every day and making sure her eye drop routine was handled with care. Emily even set up a cozy seating area so Scout could sit beside her while she worked from home, making her feel completely at ease. Scout was happy, well cared for, and even seemed a little extra attached when I got home! Highly recommend Emily for anyone looking for a thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter!”

“Ellie was a fantastic host to our husky Pepper. She is extremely attentive and made sure that Pepper got enough daily exercise and also plenty of snuggles during their downtime. We love that Pepper gets along so well with Ellie’s sweet dog Bear. Overall our dog had a great time and would absolutely book with Ellie in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Zico (and his wife) are wonderful people who clearly love dogs. Zico took great care of our dog Poppy. Poppy is nervous around other dogs and Zico made sure the walks were more quiet, ideal for Poppy. Zico also shared photos and regular updates. Highly recommend!”
“Jeremy did a great job watching my dog for a long stretch at the holidays. He took her on adventures, sent updates and communications, and she came back very happy.”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful taking care of Teddy. Teddy had lots of fun playing with Samantha, meeting her friends and taking very long walks with her! Samantha was so patient with Teddy when he was first nervous. She sent me consistent updates on Teddy & each time, it looked like he was having a blast. In fact, after she took care of Teddy, Teddy & I ran into her on a walk and he was soooo excited to see her again. Definitely recommend Samantha - she was kind, responsive, and made Teddy feel right at home in her place.”
