About: I'm a lifelong animal lover based in Seattle, offering dog walking, pet sitting, house sitting, and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. Since moving to Seattle in June 2024, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I’ve also been a proud cat mom to Winston and Levi since 2019, so I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your pets like family! I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to care for your pets during the weekdays and weekends alike. Whether your dog needs a midday walk or your cat needs some company while you're away, I’m here to help. I'm reliable, communicative, and love building genuine connections with the pets I care for. I’m happy to provide references upon request and always aim to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their humans.
“Carissa took great care of my cat Charlie while I was out of town. She gave great updates on how he was doing. I will certainly reach out next time I need a sitter for Charlie!”
“Justin was professional and very communicative. He was nice enough to come meet our dogs a few days prior so that our shy dog might be more comfortable. I definitely recommend his services!”
“Emma was fantastic with the cats. She sent along great updates including litter habits which is always helpful! Thank you for taking such good care of my babies and also my apartment”
“Faye took such great care of our cat, giving us the peace of mind to enjoy our trip. They were 100% reliable, kept a regular schedule of visit times, was great with communication, and even handled an unexpected ant infestation in our apartment. They also made sure our cat stayed comfortably cool during a spell of hot weather. On top of that, they got some great action shots of our cat playing, which we always enjoyed seeing.”
About: I want to walk your dog! I love meeting new dogs, and I also love going on long walks, short leisurely strolls, runs, and everything in between. I am responsible and dependable and understand that if Max needs to go out at 2, he is ready and waiting at 2 pm for that potty break! I love dogs and cats and have years of experience dealing with many personality types of the four-legged variety. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and am familiar with contemporary pet training techniques. Currently I don't have any pets that live with me. I miss the canine and feline companionship and I want to hang out with your dog or cat to compensate for the lack in mine! I'm currently in graduate school, and have a lot of availability for both weekend and weekday daytime, afternoon, and/or evening walks. My availability is more limited on Thursday and Friday afternoons. Safety is my number one priority. I want to make sure that your pet is comfortable and happy while in my care. I have previous experience with reactive dogs and am good at reading and respecting behavioral cues.
About: I have multiple years of experience with taking care of dogs and cats. I grew up with animals and have always taken care of friends and neighbors animals. I have been house sitting and dog walking for a while and most recently started to board animals at my house. I have a fenced yard and love to take dogs out for walks throughout the day. I currently have a cat who grew up around dogs and is acclimated with having dogs in and out of the house. I always follow house rules and feeding schedules. Can’t wait to meet your furbaby! I am currently not working and have time to hang out with your furbabies. I'm always on top of communication and will be sure to update if things change. I do have a male roommate who mostly works outside the home. I always plan on taking dogs out every 3-4 hours (2-3 hours if a puppy) if I’m house sitting, otherwise if boarding the back door is mostly kept open if the weather isn't too bad. I plan for at least 2 walks a day or more if needed for a higher energy dog. My care revolves around a personalized schedule that is needed for the individual. I have a fully fenced backyard in Ballard that dogs love to spend time in. I have tennis balls, chew king balls, tug toys and more! I have worked with dogs young and old. I take time to fully read and understand care instructions.
