“Rhonda was excellent. Great communicator, flexible and loving on our sweet boy. Left our home clean. We will ask Rhonda to watch after Cosmo again in the future. Thank you, Rhonda!”


“Melissa was our knight in shining armor; she stepped up last minute to watch our home and pups for a week when our previously scheduled sitter backed out. Melissa was very patient and sweet with our pups- one tends to be more anxious and she warmed up to her in no time. Received updates timely and pictures too. Came home to our home in the same great condition we left it in- will certainly be using Melissa again!”



“Ursula is fantastic!!! Highly recommend!!! We needed a sitter for our two pups on short notice after ours canceled on us out of the blue. Ursula was very responsive and kept great communication with us during her stay. She sent nightly updates with pictures of our smiling pups, just as we requested. We couldn't be happier! Thank you Ursula!!”


“We are so grateful for Ani! She took fantastic care of our two large pups while staying our home. It’s always reassuring to come home to very happy dogs!”


About: Hello! I have been taking care of dogs since I can remember. Growing up, we would rescue dogs of all ages, puppies to senior dogs. Big or small, I love all animals with an open heart. I have been dog sitting for friends and family over the past 10 years. I have a rescue dog and special needs cat, this has taught me to the patience that is needed with any special needs animals. I have had to administer medicine such as ear drops, eye drops, oral medicine, I am comfortable with all. I will love and care for your babies as if they were my own. I am lucky enough to be working from home, therefore, my day is pretty flexible and I can work remotely anywhere. If you need to go on a vacation and don't want to leave your animals alone, I can take my work to you as long as wifi is available. I am very open minded with whatever situation you are most comfortable. I do want to advise that I don’t stay the night over at other individuals homes, however, I can arrive early (5am-ish) and I will leave late (11pm-ish). I currently live in a 900 sq ft. apartment! I live by a lot of trails and go on frequent walks around the area to keep your animal's mind moving. We aren't far from Marymoor dog park, but we also have many trails nearby that we enjoy exploring with our dog as well, which I can take your animal with as long as you are comfortable or I can walk them around your neighborhood. Either way is fine with me!

“Jose was recommended to us by one of our regulars who wasn't available, and we have been blown away. Cleo has had so many adventures while we were gone. Walking with other pups, joining him on drives, and just generally living life. His updates are incredible and consistent. He is also very kind and has gone above and beyond to help us out and extend his stay during a difficult time for our family. We will absolutely be booking with him again!”


“Brittany is the best!! We really love the updates Brittany sends us and our dogs are so well taken care of while we’re gone. We know our dogs love Brittany and would highly recommend! We will definitely be reaching out for sitting again- thank you so much!!”


About: I love all animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have been a petsitter for over 10 years now and have taken care of animals my whole life. Additionally, senior pets will always have a special place in my heart. I currently work from home 3 days a week. I'm available on the weekends and most holidays as well. I will always make time for the animals in my care. I care for pets in my own home as I would in any client's home. I clean up after pets and make sure they are comfortable whenever possible.

“Krysta watched our two little Havanese pups for almost two weeks in our home. We actually had puppy cans set up in several rooms where our dogs like to play. We saw that Krysta was very loving and caring at all times and they even slept with her at night. Our home was in perfect shape when we came back and we will definitely use Krysta again!”


About: I have always felt a special connection with animals and grown up my whole life in a pet household. I have always had cats and small pets but it wasn’t until 5 years ago I finally got my own dog. We rescued him from a traumatic past so he had a lot of anxiety and fear. It taught me so much about caring for a more special needs pet that provided me with more patience, discipline and understanding for animals. I also have an adult cat and these two animals collectively make me so happy. These experiences have led me to want to give back in some way as a pet caregiver! I promise to give your fur babies the best care and love possible and to leave your home as if it were my own! I work 12 hour shifts as a nurse but have my weekends and nights and two week days free! This schedule while my work days are busy allows me ample time off to care for your pets. Knowing any specifics about your pets such as routine, feeding, potty schedule, medications, personalities, etc is helpful in knowing how to provide the best care possible for them. Whether it is a drop in visit or going on a walk I promise to leave your pet more enriched and fulfilled after the visit than before!

“Elisa did a wonderful job pet and house sitting for us while we were away for 2.5 weeks on our international wedding and honeymoon! She provided many photos and updates and our house was very clean when we arrived home! Will definitely book Elisa again!”


“Tori was AMAZING! This was our first time being away from our pups since the pandemic and since we adopted our second dog that is a bit more shy and they both loved having Tori stay with them. Would highly recommend! :)”


About: I have been a pet owner my whole life including a handicapped dachshund who was in a wheelchair. I care for family pets and friends because I hate to see them go to a kennel if not needed. I understand that without trustworthy loving care of my pets I was unable to enjoy my time away or vacations thoroughly. I am flexible with all the care needed and will accommodate as many requests as I can. I also live close to DIA which makes pick up and drop off easy for those on the way to the Airport. I have a completely fenced in yard along with a doggie door. I have 2 dogs on sight a female labradoodle and a female fox terrier. Both are socialized and friendly and love to run and play with other pets. They will also leave pets alone if they are senior and not so interested in playing.
