“Cassandra is the best! She took excellent care of our 2 cats & kept us updated after each visit. Our cats warmed to her very quickly. Would not hesitate to recommend Cassandra’s cat sitting service. We are planning on definitely booking Cassandra for future sits.”
“Teddy let me know when he arrived, sent photos, and spent time playing with my dogs after their dinner. Dogs were happy and the house was perfect when I got home. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with dogs and love them! I’m that person that smiles at your dog when walking down the sidewalk. I can’t wait to meet your pup and take him or her for a walk! I am currently working as a nurse, but I am free on weekends and Mondays. I work Tuesday-Friday 8-4, so am available anytime after that! I prefer to watch your dog in your home or apartment. I live in a small apartment that is not conducive to pet watching unfortunately.
“Emma was amazing with my cat, Taco! She was incredibly communicative and even picked up an urgent package for me although she didn't have to! Definitely booking her again because I came home to a happy and healthy kitty!”
“Anastasiya did a great job taking care of my two cats. One is quite shy but she got him to warm up to her right away and I felt so much better knowing he was getting love and attention when I was gone!”
“Molly was amazing! Very communicative and we had so much peace of mind working with her. Our cat Sigmund, adored her and we looked forward to her Rover cards everyday! Highly recommended and would book again anytime!”
“Elizabeth took great care of our cat Luna while we were on a 2 week trip, dropping in daily. She followed our instructions and was a wonderful and friendly communicator throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend her to others looking for a thoughtful caretaker.”

About: Hola 👋 I’m Michelle - your soon-to-be FAVORITE neighborhood dog walker. I noticed you have a precious pup and I’d love to be their new walking buddy that lives right next door :) Whether you’ve got a zoomie machine or a mellow couch potato, I’ve got the energy and experience for both (hello, former husky handler 🙋♀️). After caring for an endlessly energetic husky, I’ve learned no walk is too long, no zoomies too wild, and no amount of shedding too much. If your dog needs a walking buddy or a sitter while you’re away, I’m just a few doors down. What I offer: 🐾 Fun, sniff-filled dog walks/runs/sprints 🐾 Daytime check-ins and in-home dog sitting 🐾 Extra care for high-energy or older pups 🐾 Last-minute availability 🐕🦺🏃♀️ I have worked with puppies as young as two months old, and welcome the opportunity to care for the full spectrum of pups! For the high-energy, I am always happy to go on more strenuous walks for example, up the Queen Anne hill, long walks around Lake Union, or sprints down by Elliot Bay Trail. Please reach out to learn more or set up a introductory in-person connect to see how we all gel together :) I work a hybrid schedule during the week so: 📆 Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays I am available all-day for walks or in-home sitting 📆 Mondays & Wednesdays I can go on walks or do in-home sitting after 3pm 📆 Weekends I am available all-day for boarding, in-home sitting or walks When I care for pets—whether in my home or yours—I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and totally at ease. After spending lots of time with a super high-energy husky, I’ve learned how to keep things calm, structured, and fun. I stick to their routines, pay attention to their cues, and make sure they get the play, exercise, and chill time they need. I treat every pet like my own, with lots of love, patience, and belly rubs along the way. 🌿 I have a rooftop with a dog area that I would spend time at with my husky who loved basking in the hedges. I live nearby plenty of parks and green areas perfect for walks and prancing with other dogs ~ if the dog I am caring for is comfortable playing with other dogs, of course!
About: I've been an animal lover my whole life and genuinely enjoy caring for pets whenever I can. Most of my experience is with cat sitting, but I'm also well-equipped to care for dogs. I take pride in providing safe, attentive care and making pets feel comfortable and loved while you're away. You can count on me to keep you updated with thoughtful messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands. Whether it's cuddles on the couch, playtime in the yard, or sticking to your pet's usual routine, I make it a priority to give them the attention and care they deserve! I currently work full-time, but I am available for pet sitting before and after work, as well as on weekends and holidays. Once a pet sitting gig is booked, I will clearly communicate my schedule with the client to ensure transparency and proper care. While I’m unable to offer pet sitting in my own home, I’m happy to do daily drop-ins and short-term stays, depending on the needs of the client.
“Sami was awesome on keeping my updated while I was away. This is the longest I’ve been away from my cat and I felt very relaxed knowing he was in her care! Thanks so much!!!”
“Wow, thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my dog! From start to finish, the experience was incredible, and I truly felt like my pup was in the best hands. This was my first time using this app, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Ponyo was extremely responsive, quick to communicate, and incredibly flexible—even accommodating a last-minute request to come to my house. My dog, Francisco, was well cared for, and I appreciated the thoughtful updates and adorable photos they sent while I was at work—it really put my mind at ease. I’d 100% trust Ponyo to step in as my go-to emergency contact for my dog in the future (kidding…but also kind of serious!). All jokes aside, this was a fantastic experience, and I’m beyond happy. I will absolutely be booking with them again!”
About: I have been around pets my whole life and have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs. I was the lucky parent of an energetic doggo and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I would love to get to know yours! My job gives me a flexible schedule with regular remote work making it easy and enjoyable for me to get out on walks, etc. I am accustomed to scheduling my days around making sure everyone gets the attention they need. I understand the importance of keeping to routines and am happy to maintain whatever schedules, crating, training, etc. that is best for your pet. I am a clean and tidy person and well practiced in cleaning up after pets.
About: I love walking dogs to help them get exercise and explore their neighborhoods, but I’m also content to hang out on the couch and give them some cuddling time! I’m currently studying, so I have lots of time throughout the day to spend with your fur baby! My schedule for care on weekdays and weekends is flexible. When in my care your pet will be my first priority, so I’ll work hard to ensure all of their health and happiness needs are met!
“Virginia was GREAT! She was able to take care of my dog last minute during the busy holiday season. My dog has separation anxiety and she was great helping him cope. I would definitely recommend.”
About: I have always had dogs and cats growing up. But since I’ve been moving I do not have my own pet yet. I watch many of my friend’s pets when they are out of town and I love keeping the furry friends company! I have a full time job and have availability on the weekends (or even on some weeknight evenings) to spend time with your fur babies! I line in a spacious townhome with a fenced off back terrace area. I live on a quiet street with many grassy areas to roam.
“Kate took on a last minute, complicated, holiday booking and was such a massive help throughout the whole process. I felt so much better leaving my two cats with her while I was away. Highly recommend!! :)”
“Susan was a great sitter for my two cats! Her updates were engaging and fun to read, giving information on the day’s play and eating events. The cats loved playing and cuddling with her during their visits. The cats and apartment looked great upon my return. Definitely recommend!”

“Michelle has been Lola’s favorite sitter since she was 4 months old! We board Lola with Michelle on the weekends and from the first time I dropped her off, I knew she was in great hands—walks are her favorite, and she always came back happy, calm, and well-exercised. I love how attentive and tuned in Michelle is to her specific needs, from playtime to nap schedules to little quirks in behavior. I always got updates and could tell she was being treated like family. It’s such a relief knowing she’s not just safe, but truly cared for when I’m away.”
Katelyn C.
“Katelyn provided care for our senior cat several times while we were on vacation. We asked her to check on him, make sure he had water, food, and attention. She is reliable, trustworthy, and caring. She took the time to hang out with our kitty, and cared about his well being and health. I highly recommend using Katelyn for your pet care. She is a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
