Top rated Yelm cat sitters
“As always, Sidney was wonderful! We got a new kitten since her last sitting, and she did a great job with the alternate feeding routine and keeping our older cat and the new kitten comfortable.”
“Rachel is wonderful! She has watched my moody cat a handful of times in the past year, and is so patient with him. She is kind and gentle, great at communicating and sending pictures while we are away. If you need someone to watch your pets, I absolutely recommend her!”
“We took a trip for 10 days and could have peace of mind because she took care of our 3 cats. She did a great job and communication was great! Sent us pictures every day and let us know how everything was going.”
“Stephanie was great with Smudge! She sent lots of pictures and was very professional. She went out of her way to come by before our scheduled drop-ins to meet us. Thanks again!”
“Lorie is the absolute best! We were away for 15 days and it was hard to be away that long. But because of Lorie, we were able to travel without worry. Communication is great and she really loves the cats. We are so lucky that she is our sitter!”
“Isabelle was fantastic and took amazing care of my kitty Marco. I was able to book with her week-of and she really saved me with these last-minute drop ins. I would definitely book her again.”
“Angie was super friendly and easy to work with. She made us feel comfortable with having her look after our cats and sent us daily updates, photos and videos. And even though our cats are usually very shy with people they don't know they actually approached her and even let her pet them. They could definitely sense that she is great with animals. Couldn’t be happier. Will be booking with her again for sure.”
“Sara did a terrific job in looking after and feeding my cats (watering station refills and litter cleanouts) and refilling my wild bird feeders. My cats are more challenging in the long days of summer because they are allowed to go out during day - and I rely on the evening wet food meal to bring them in. But in a first encounter with new sitter, many will just resist in coming inside in evening like I want them to do - for their safety and companionship. Sara was extra responsible in following up with me via lots of texts and pictures - and trying numerous times to bring them in. I think that over several repeat visits they will become more familiar and feel at ease with her. Thank you again SARA - terrific job!”
“This was my first time using Sandra to care for my dog and cat at my home with drop in visits. She went above and beyond what was expected and gave my pets a lot of love and attention that they were sorely missing with me being out of town! I would definitely use Sandra again ??!”
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for pets, I’ve been someone that my friends, family, and roommates can call when they need someone reliable to look after their animals. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all types like young, old, high energy, low maintenance, anxious, and affectionate. I’m comfortable handling everything from the basics like feeding, walks, and playtime to more involved care like medication, crate training, and senior routines. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals they tend to trust me quickly, and I take that seriously. I approach each pet with patience, respect, and a steady presence. Whether your dog needs a running buddy or your older cat just wants a quiet companion while you’re away, I’ll meet them where they’re at. I understand how important it is to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress free. I treat every animal like they’re my own with attention, care, and a commitment to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a Social Work student at Evergreen State College, I take online classes, which gives me a flexible schedule to focus on caring for pets. Outside of class, I dedicate my time to walking dogs, house sitting, and caring for pets while their families are away. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and it fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m reliable, communicative, and available throughout the day for check-ins, playtime, walks, and overnight stays. When im taking care of your pet, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions closely to keep routines consistent, whether that means specific feeding times, crate use, medications, or special accommodations. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and mindful of your pet’s boundaries.
About: I've walked many good dogs and some who are also good but like to give me trouble! I'm a large man, the heaviest and strongest of dogs would find me a challenge to drag along. I will pull the leash as little as needed and keep them distanced from any issues, and I will do my best in a tough situation. I love to bring treats so they can get to know and play with me! I'm cheaper than others and provide a better service for less. Thank you, have a good day! I'm very flexible with my main job's schedule, just message me for availability, and I'd be happy to work together on figuring out when the best time would be :) I can do everything and anything needed for your fur baby; walk, jog, bike, play fetch, tug of war, or run around together. I can administer medications, clean up after them, crate them, etc etc. I do it all just let me know what your pup needs!
About: I’ve been working with dogs and all other animals my whole life and am currently going to school for Veterinary Technician. Many people have relied on me to help with their pets needs. I have a pup of my own so my schedule is already built around pup time! And mine is still a baby (6 months) so lots of potty breaks and play times! I have a 5 acre property with lots of space, and a pup to keep your lots of company. I also have kennels if necessary and a bed big enough for all the pup cuddles :)
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals my entire life growing up on a farm. I have been a Licensed Veterinary Technician for 24 years. I work part-time remotely and part-time in a vet clinic. I am looking to supplement my income while still working my current part-time jobs. I work Monday through Wednesday remotely. Then I'm working Thursday and Friday in a Veterinary Hospital. I'm mostly available Friday night through early Thursday morning. I have 4 dogs, 2 outdoor cats, 2 horses, and 15 chickens. I can easily separate dogs as needed with a secure large backyard. Our entire property is 5 acres completely fenced and cross fenced. My husband can easily take care of our animals if I'm away from the house.
About: Hello! I’m an experienced farm hand, pet sitter, and babysitter with a genuine love for animals and children. With 7 years caring for farm animals, 5 dogs of my own all sizes from XS-XL, and 5 years babysitting experience from ages 0-14 year olds. I’m dependable, flexible, and always attentive to your pets’ and kids’ needs. Whether it’s feeding, playing, or just keeping them company, I’m here to help and give your loved ones the best care while you’re away. References available upon request! As a new high school graduate, I have an open weekday schedule, which allows me to be flexible and dedicated to pet care. I can easily fit visits, walks, and playtime into my daily or weekly routine to make sure your pets get the attention and care they need. I love and care for my pets all the same the only part that varies is feeding, catering to their needs, and keeping in mind any triggers the dogs might have (food aggression/resource guarding). But at a clients house I feed accordingly to the instructions I was left and give their fur baby as much cuddles and love as they’ll allow me to.
