“Deidre was fantastic. We were very anxious leaving our older chihuahua and standard poodle alone all day since they’ve become accustomed to being no more than 5 feet away from us since working from home the last 6 years. As soon as we met Deidre for the meet and greet we were put at ease. She’s has a calm, grounded presence that not only the dogs but even our scaredy cats responded too. She came by for three visits and sent full updates and many photos. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”


“Xiu took such good care of our pups while we were out of town recently. They are not used to others coming over and taking care of them but they quickly gained trust in Xiu. She also kept us so informed messaging and sending pictures. It was great seeing how happy they were with her. It all started with a great meet and greet. She was so detailed to make sure she understood who they were and their needs. I hope we can have her come watch them again.”


“Savannah was great and my cats were well taken care of. I really appreciate her willingness to learn how to give an insulin injection to my diabetic cat. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Thank you!”


“Nicholas was nothing short of incredible with our kitties! We returned home from a week away, and were a bit nervous as this was the first time we’d left our boys for so long. They were happy, well-fed, litter box scooped, and house left tidy as can be. This would have been lovely on its own, but Nicholas also gave us daily delightful updates and photos which really put our hearts and minds at ease. We hope to book with Nicholas again in the future, and you should stop your search now because you have found the best sitter out there.”


“Jeffrey was fantastic and allowed us to be worry free while traveling overseas. He even helped take care of our cat who unfortunately has cancer and was able to administer oral meds. I went ahead and already booked him again for our next trip. Highly recommend!”


“Melanie did a great job taking care of my very unfriendly cat Daisy! She sent lots of pictures & updates, which I enjoyed getting. Melanie brought my mail in & took my garbage out to the curb for pick up too. She went above & beyond! I am so happy to have found her to take care of Daisy when I am gone!”


“Wonderful experience!! I will definitely use Ashley again and recommend her to anyone. She kept me updated and responded to messages very quickly. My cats were well taken care of. They are pretty social with me and not used to me being gone. So far they are not showing any separation issues and even the shy anxious one is doing great! Ashley stopped in to hang out twice a day and that extra people interaction each day from my past one a day visits has had a big impact. Sad as it is to say it’s almost like they didn’t miss me as much this time :) Thank you!!!”


“We loved Helena, she treated our old dog with such great care. We will definitely be booking with her again and so appreciate her taking care of our dog.”



“100 stars! We moved to Olympia recently and then had to take a ten day trip out of town, and Jerri was amazing! We had daily pictures of our old man cat and she rotated lights, got the mail, and even dragged our trash cans back in. She also stayed in close contact with us the last day of our trip, as we were worried about our flights being cancelled or late, and she was ready to come back if we needed her. 10/10 highly recommend!”


About: Throughout my life, I have been very fortunate to grow up with animals. I currently have two boy cats that are a year old. They are my partners in crime. When I had a dog I spent time taking him to agility courses and dog parks. With my passion for animals, I have had the opportunity to watch other pets as well. I have sat for cats as well as dogs. In these past situations, I made sure to ask what the animal's needs are. When watching one of my client's dogs who has special needs. She had disabled back legs and needed extra assistants while watching her, such as walking slow and caring her up and downstairs. Even with her disability, she is full of love! :) Every animal has its own personality just like people. I can't wait to meet your pet and spread the love with them! Thank you! I am currently unemployed because I just graduated college. I am looking for a job but while I wait I would love to have more animals in my life! I have house and animal sat for many years. I am a great listener and great at asking questions making sure everyone involved is happy and comfortable with me in their home with their animals. I am used to adapting to new rules and homes.

About: * summer is here and I still have a few openings left so book asap! Also... I know it seems too early and sunny to think about the holidays, but I usually book up months in advance so reach out, even if you don't have exact travel plans, but know you'll need pet care. I currently have Labor Day already booked, but mid November - New Years is pretty much open, except one booking in Dec. Check my updated calendar. My dog care experience spans all ages and breeds. I know puppies are more work, but I enjoy working with them on leash and obedience training to maintain good habits while their people are away. I have experience with giving daily medications and have cared for senior dogs, one who needed daily blood sugar testing and insulin shots. I live mobile between pet sitting gigs staying with friends and family from Marysville to Olympia. I started pet sitting for clients when I was house cleaning during the time I was in grad school. Because I was already working in their homes and had biweekly interactions with their pets, it was an easy transition to pet care. It was also during this time that a couple of professors inquired about pet sitting. I was a backup for one of thier regular sitters and the other, I'm still their regular sitter 7+ years later. I care for your pets the same way you would. They like to sleep in the bed with me? Cool. They need extra outside play time or walks to keep their anxiety low because you're gone? Done. I am very intuitive to reading their energy and do everything I can to meet their needs. Do you have some anxiety about being away and want pictures daily? Got it covered. My experience with house cleaning also menas I take care of the spaces I am staying so I am happy to water house plants and take care of gardens if needed.

About: I have taken care of pups of all ages (from puppies to seniors) as well as sizes! I love going on walks short or long, playing, as well as cuddles! I have taken care of pups who require a high level of consistency in their routines and do my best to attune to those needs as reliably as possible, working with and directly communicating with pet parents (as desired). I do dog walking, drop-in visits, as well as overnight stays. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule for day time drop-in visits for play time, feeding, as well as walks of varying lengths and time (rain or shine)! I am incredibly respectful of anyone's home that I enter and leave the space as clean as when I entered. I am really intentional about making sure my time with your animal baby is thoughtful, reliable, caring, and safe. Consistency in routine and safety are two values to animal care that I hold.

Bailey W.
“Bailey has loved animals since before she could walk or talk. She is incredibly compassionate and thoughtful of others whether they walk on 2 feet or 4 feet. It is not hyperbole to say she is as honest, responsible and reliable as you could ask for in a dog sitter or a person in general. She has a strong drive to always do her best and has many school and sports awards that back this up. And as a bonus she almost always wears a big, bright smile. To know Bailey is to love Bailey. And I know without a doubt she will love your canine family member!”


Alison S.
“Alison has been my dog sitter for so long I don't know what I would do without her. She cares so much for each pup - and my pups are QUIRKY. She's patient, kind, sweet, and dedicated to being the best substitute dog mom when I can't be there. When my elderly dog needed extra special attention, she took it in stride. I highly recommend Alison to anyone who needs a pet sitter / dog walker / etc. She's the best!”
