We've asked Brea to cat sit a couple times over the weekend, and have been really happy working with her! Sure, cats are pretty low-maintenance, but it's well worth the peace of mind knowing that someone is spending quality time with your cat. And Brea's photo updates are such a treat - she could be a pet photographer, she always manages to get some great photos of our normally shy cat! Tip: try to coordinate at least a few days in advance. I think we did an in-person meetup the first time (which I appreciated!) and also needed to to coordinate key drop off, so give yourself time to work out logistics. read more

Cosmic Home & Pet - Dog Walkers Near Me

Brea watched my little bird while I was out of town for work. I'm a nervous pet parent, and Brea sent me daily updates with videos. It set my mind at ease to know my little guy got some out of cage time while I was away and that he was being well cared for! Brea and I had a zoom meeting where I showed her around and discussed my bird. Dropping off my key was very easy. I'll definitely use Cosmic Pet for future trips out of town. read more

Brea is absolutely wonderful! Finally a petsitter who made us feel comfortable and at ease with leaving both our kitties. Cosmic Home and Pet was highly recommended to us and lived up to our expectations! Our initial contact was over the phone and after that, was a smooth process of organizing dates and a face to face meeting which all went very well. Brea seemed very easy going and comfortable acclimatizing to our home almost immediately. For the duration of our time away, I received numerous updates, videos and photos via text message. I could tell that my kitties were happy as Brea's photos and videos showed them playing with her, being active etc. Although I missed them like crazy, I was not at all worried about them, which made our vacation more enjoyable. Upon arriving home, everything was well taken care of. The litter box was cleaned, their food station was up to par and our mail was even collected for us. Our keys were returned in a very timely manner. Cosmic Home and Pet was affordable and our experience with them was just excellent. Keep up the amazing work and you will be hearing again from Boots and Whiskey in the near future. read more

So I've been sitting on this review for a long time now, wishing I could find something good to say. But honestly, I wish someone would have been able to warn me as I searched through reviews, so here goes. This review is for Brea from April to June of 2016. We went on our honeymoon through Europe and got Brea to watch our two cats. They're young and neither of them are on medication, nor do they need any special care. Regardless, we labelled everything to make it as easy as possible and left very clear, simple instructions. We met with Brea once before and she wasn't terribly friendly but seemed fine with the cats. We told her about the instructions, showed her where everything was, and so on. And honestly, our apartment is 360sqft; it isn't really possible to lose something in it. We got a security camera that takes videos and pictures. We'd never left our cats before, so we were worried. To say that we were disappointed by what we saw would be an understatement. A poisonous plant that is kept under glass and specific instructions to leave it there, sitting out for days and days even when I asked her to put it away. A chef's knife laying on the counter where the cats sometimes jump, also left for days. The cats dishes being replaced with our good dishes for some reason. Why?? Pills that were in a sealed bottle spilled all over the apartment. A glass house that we've had for years shattered into the rug. By a cat, of course, despite them never giving it a thought before. We saw Brea on more than one occasion just ignoring the cats, scrolling on her phone for the duration of the visit even as the cats cried for attention. She didn't even look at them. She also took the keys that were stated in the instructions not to be taken, and we needed them urgently upon returning. I have all of the photographic and video proof, but when I reached out to Brea afterwards, she denied it all or blamed it on the cats. For her prices and all of the 5 star reviews, this was just sad. It was heartbreaking to see our cats ignored that way. When we got home, one of our cats had a leg injury that required numerous vet visits. He was also so matted that he needed to be completely shaved; this has never happened before or since. We found our instructions completely untouched, right where we left them--and told her we left them. We were incredibly thorough, but the instructions literally were not read even once. Frankly, I have no idea how Brea has gotten so many rave reviews. What we saw really put a bad taste in our mouths, and we started looking for flights early so we could cut our honeymoon short. It was that bad. So yes, I would say be wary of all of the rave reviews, and contact me if you're in doubt about the security cam grabs. read more

My husband and I started using Cosmic Home and Pet about a year and a half ago, and since then have used Brea about five times. We have been so happy with her, so I wanted to leave a review before we move to the Bay Area and are unfortunately no longer able to use her service. Back when Brea first started pet-sitting for us we had two cats (one of whom passed away about a year ago). Both our cats love/loved Brea, and the kitty who is still around is a massive pansy ass who runs at the sight/sound of any one, even someone she's seen a billion times. We generally pay for Brea to visit twice a day, at a rate of 15 or 20 dollars per visit, I can't remember which. Once every day or couple of days we will get a video of her petting our cat, and it makes us very happy to see our baby rolling happily on the floor. So, Brea has always been very professional, her service is reasonably priced, and our cat loves her. All you need to know. read more

I travel for work and Brea is always willing to help. After a long trip I know I'll be coming home to a very happy cat. She sends me photos and updates of Lulu that always help when I'm gone for longer periods of time. I highly recommend her services. read more

Brea is great and has taken good care of our cats several times now. She really worked with us last xmas to make sure we were covered despite plans being a little last minute. Definitely recommend! read more

Brea & Jaime are nice, dependable, trustworthy, & charge fair rates. When Brea came over for initial meeting, she brought her business license & hard copy of references; all references checked out. I like their website: clever, professional, with services & rates clearly outlined. Other folks in my building have used Cosmic, & they have been happy with service too. Great people to work with! And it sure is nice to come home to cats' typical aloof indifference vs. frantic lovestarved meowfest. read more

Brea is fantastic. We came home from Hawaii to a mellow, relaxed, happy dog. It was so nice to get little updates from her - it really made me enjoy the vacation all that much more. Brea is professional, honest, and reliable. I'm almost hesitant to say how great she is, because she will be so booked!!! Thanks Brea! We (especially Kylie) look forward to seeing you again!! read more

Brea is great! She took care of my two cats for a little over a week during the holidays. I was super, super, super nervous to hire a stranger but will definitely plan on using her again. She came by to meet us and get a lay of our place before we left which I appreciated. She also sent updates and photos of the kitties almost every day! When I got home the house and litter box were clean, the kitties seemed happy and she had collected our mail and packages. I would definitely recommend. read more

First off, I must admit, from a pet sitting standpoint that Cosmic is 5 stars. We've had a couple different people from Cosmic watch our dog, and we've always returned home to a happy dog and a house that's usually cleaner than when we left it. However, I've often found them to be a little slow to respond to requests and their availability is pretty limited. This last time, it took Brea 8 days to get back to me that she had no one available for the time we requested, which by then meant that many alternatives were getting booked up in that time as well. Overall, fantastic dog sitting, but I wish they handled the business aspect a little better. read more

I don't like giving out 5 stars reviews, but this one is well deserved. Brea was supposed to watch my cat for only four days, but we encountered a family emergency and needed to leave our cat for an unexpected amount of time. It was such an emotional and shocking experience we had to go through, but brea was so accommodating and understanding. She really lifted a huge burden on our shoulders. I loved that she also sent us a video of our cat while we were away! I know that she is fully competent, knowledgeable, and has a sincere love of animals. I highly reccommend her and would call her the next time we plan another trip!! read more

I am so glad to have discovered Brea's petsitting service. My cat was clearly very well taken care of -- and the apartment was left in great shape. She even washed the used cat food cans and put them in the recycling bin. The level of care shown was well beyond that of "doing one's job" -- it was immediately clear that she loved animals and really satisfying her customers. I would have no reservations contacting her again. read more

Tried this business on a close friend's recommendation, and I'm happy to say the service is just phenomenal. I'm a super neurotic cat lady and I hate leaving my kitties when I go out of town, but Brea's team has taken AMAZING care of my two cats the last two times I've been out of town. This includes daily feedings (which I sometimes adjusted on-the-fly -- my Cosmic sitter Kelly was immediately responsive to emails I sent while out of town) and lots of play and cuddle time. My sitter also provided me with daily phone pics of my cats (again... neurotic cat lady) which was really appreciated! Upon signing up with the service, you're asked to fill out a bunch of forms -- vet's name and info, medication info, location of thermostat(s), extra information about your home, emergency contacts -- which for some reason was super reassuring. I've been through lots of sitters and Cosmic is by and large the most thorough I've ever seen. Given the extremely reasonable price and level of quality care, I don't think I'll ever use a sitting service other than Cosmic again in Seattle, honestly. read more

You know a business is awesome when they make you, and your furry family members, feel like a friend. And that is exactly how Cosmic Home and Pet makes our family feel. Like a friend, Brea has always been responsive, proactive and reliable. And even more importantly, caring and loving to our dogs. One dog responds positively to only a handful of words such as "treat" but her tail really wags when we say, "Brea". Brea has always been detail oriented when the needs for our Shih Tzus have been communicated. From confirming availability to sending pictures and video of our pets and even more serious tasks like administering medicine, Brea's on it. The only time someone else watches our, now single, pup is when Brea is booked. She's our #1 choice. We have no concerns while away from home because we trust Brea and have peace of mind with her watching our dog. Her prices are reasonable and the care is conscious and customized - a hard to find combination. read more

We love Cosmic! We *have* to have a dog-friendly person clean our place, since our big dog is nosy and tries his best to help when you're scrubbing the floor, so we were thrilled to find home services and pet services together. Brea has been walking our dog and cleaning our condo every week for the last year. She's dependable, meticulous, and best of all, she somehow handles our 75-lb. meat-head with grace. He's a much calmer boy at night after she's taken him out for a midday stroll. We trust her 100 percent with our dog and our home. read more

I recently moved a cat into my house. Two days later I had to unexpectedly leave town for work. I found Cosmic on the Internet, called, and within a day had handed off my keys. Having never met the owners of Cosmic I was a bit nervous. But, my nervousnous proved to be unfounded. The first time Cosmic stopped by to see the cat they sent a text message with a picture of the cat, looking fat and happy. When I returned home the next weekend the cat had been fed and played with, the litter box emptied, and a note had been left detailing the visit. I've asked Cosmic to return mutliple times since, and have always been extremely satisfied with the service. read more

My cat is awesome. Until we leave him alone for a couple of days. Then he's pissed. Literally. Cat pee in choice locations that specifically say "I can't get love from an automatic feeder." So when we were going to be away for 2 weeks, we had to make sure he had a little TLC on a regular basis. Brea came by every other day, gave him some much-appreciated brushing and petting, and cleaned up the occasional hairball and litter scatter. It was great to come home from a long flight and find a fluffy, happy kitty, a neat pile of mail, living plants (and clean floors). It's nice to know we have a resource when we go out of town and I wouldn't hesitate to use Cosmic Home and Pet again. read more

Brea was recommended to us by a neighbor that has a skittish dog. Our dog is not super friendly with other dogs and can be slow to warm up to people, but she instantly loved Brea and always looks forward to their time together. It was important to us to have a dog walking service that would be the same person each time. Brea walks our dog when we both have to work similar shifts, and she has been so flexible. Even when we forget to give her reasonable amounts of notice she is always there for us. She tailors the walks to the weather and to my dogs special needs. I can't speak more highly of the service I have received with this dog walking company. It's more than I ever could have hoped for. read more

It's been years since I've left any review on Yelp!, but small businesses like Cosmic Home & Pet deserve all the love they can get. We've been using Brea and Cosmic for a couple of years now to visit our cat while we leave town, and we couldn't be happier with the service. Our cat is no longer a nervous mess of energy when we return home from trips. Brea has always been reasonably prompt when communicating about appointments, and we've never had any issues at all. Allowing strangers into your home takes a large measure of trust, and I feel like Brea and company have certainly earned it! read more

If I could give Brea and Cosmic Home & Pet ten stars, I would! The service was recommended by a coworker who also had a good experience, so I jumped right in and booked Brea to visit my very shy kitty during a long vacation. The booking process was quick and personable, each e-mail answered promptly. And I really appreciated the in-person meet and greet before the service began. We discussed my cat, her temperament, habits, needs, and I came away really feeling secure. During the trip I received tons of updates, pictures, and videos which made the long time away much better. I had such a good experience that I re-booked for the holidays. Brea went above and beyond to make sure my timid, nervous kitty felt loved and supported during the holidays. She even got a little kitty Christmas present! I couldn't be happier with my experience and I am strongly recommending Cosmic Home & Pet to all of my friends! read more

I can't say enough good things about this dog walking service and Brea. Our older dog isn't super friendly and needed a lot of attention when I moved and my husband stayed in town for a few months. Brea was a real pro and was extremely flexible. Our dog loved her - and so did we! I highly recommend Cosmic for your dog walking needs! read more

Jaime began walking our dog, Athena, daily about a year ago after we adopted her. Athena is a stubborn, yet lovable pit bull mix that Jaime had more than infinite patience with her. Whether we were working from home or traveling, Jaime took care of our pup as if she was Jaime's own(even when she had family illnesses to deal with, Jaime made sure that Athena's walks were covered). Jaime worked with Athena on her walks and was always open to giving us tips and tricks that she had been teaching her(like how to get Athena to refocus after becoming aggressive with another dog). We were sadden not to keep using Cosmic as we moved further north outside of their service area and is the only reason why we stopped used them. If they would ever expand their service area we'd change walkers in a heart beat! read more

Jamie is amazing! She walked my dog twice a week for several months until I moved away and I was super bummed when I realized they didn't service the new area - it's really tough finding great dog walkers and I had hit the jackpot with Jamie and Cosmic Pets. They were also fantastic when I went away for a week they came and took care of my cat while my dog was being boarded. Always professional, flexible on their schedule and willing to help and make things work. When my dog started showing some signs of uncomfort at home in the crate Jamie and Brea talked to me about training ideas and techniques to help him be more comfortable during crating and at home in general. They clearly always prioritized my pets happiness and wanted to ensure they always felt happy and comfortable! read more

I honestly can not say enough positive things about Brea and Cosmic Home and Pet. Having relocated to Seattle from Hawaii in August with two very disgruntled cats to take a job that required a lot of travel, I needed to find that someone special to spend time with and look after them. Of my two cats, one is very outgoing and friendly and the other is incredibly shy and scared around new people - which is such a shame because he is such a lover and loves attention! Cosmic Home and Pet was the third service I tried - the first two didn't meet my hopes in regards to my shy guy. Neither of the first two were able to make a connection or even coax him out, so he went without pets or cuddles during those trips. Then came Brea. Day one she connected with him and had him clamoring for her attention - and I know this because she sent me a video of it. Which is another thing that makes her awesome. I get regular updates from her while I'm away, including pictures and videos, which is so nice. She also brings in packages and looks after things around my place, which is also very reassuring when I am traveling. She is timely with responses to my pet sitting requests, super reliable, and her fees are incredibly reasonable for the peace of mind that she provides while I am traveling. I would - without any hesitation whatsoever - highly recommend Cosmic Home and Pet! read more

This was the second year in a row that we had Cosmic/Brea take care of our cat Nigel over the holidays. Brea is extremely communicative so it was such a relief to not have to worry about anything and just receive updates/pictures over our vacation. We came back to a happy cat and a clean home. I did my research before hiring Cosmic Pet last year and know they are the best pet sitting in our area! read more

I'm posting this for two reasons: First, because my work travel is so intense and unpredictable, I've requested to have Jaime, Brea, and Stephan on-call at a moments notice. They have been ridiculously accommodating to my needs and the needs of my 3 year STUBBORN cat, Stubz. Stubz does NOT like many people. That said, I am both amazed and overjoyed by the ways in which they handle Stubz. She loves them, and I wish I could figure out their magic. Second, I'm writing this because I'm appalled at the negative review on this site. Brea, Jaime, and Stephan have sent me pics of Stubz because that was part of my request and written into my contract. It warms my heart to see Stubz so happy, content, and playful with them. I know my cat is a pain in the ass. But I love her, and so do they. They have been beyond accommodating to my needs and I have been more than happy to recommend them to my friends and co-workers. I write this because both Cosmic Home & Pet and future clients need to know that their work, time, and labor is of utmost value. I could not be happier with my experience, Stubz could not be happier, and I trust that you'll have the same experience with Cosmic Home & Pet. Thank you Brea, Jaime, and Stephan--for all of the love and care you have for my "difficult" kitty. Love and hugs! read more

Cosmic Home & Pet - Dog Walkers Near Me

We love Cosmic! They are the best of the best - everything they do shows both their love of animals and their professionalism. Pretty much the most amazing group of dog walkers you could ask for! My dogs love them for never missing a walk (or a treat) - and I love that my dogs love them - and that they are super reliable, professional, and just wonderful to work with. Highly highly recommend!! read more

Cosmic Home and Pet makes any trip I take worry free, because I know my cat has great care lined up. Brea and Jamie make sure my cat gets lots of attention during the daily visits and send me photos of her so I know she's doing great. It's easy to book care, and you know your pets are in good hands. I highly recommend them. read more

I called and left a message per instructions. They didn't bother calling back. Ever. I guess they don't actually want to run a business. ETA: I should add that it took 3 weeks for a friend to get her keys back. She won't be going back. read more

I can't believe almost four years has passed since I wrote my first review for Brea at Cosmic Home and Pet. Brea is such an integral part of my dog's life now we don't book vacations or time away unless we have first checked that she is available. I'm shocked by a recent negative review because during the 10+ times Brea has stayed with my Shih Tzu, we have never once had any concerns or issues. She has stayed with our dog at least 60 days during these past few years (if not more, I don't keep count) and there is no one else I trust more with my dog. We've used Rover a few times Brea has been booked (a result in her increasingly great business) and we just weren't as happy, Brea is always our #1 choice. Brea's rates are absolutely reasonable, especially when compared to other sitters on Rover or dog kennels in the area. When we're gone Brea sends us updates and photos/videos and is very responsive to our texts. If a question comes up, she's available. She snuggles and plays with our pooch during her visits (the videos she sends of this always make me smile), brushes her, and puts my Shih Tzu's hair in a pony tail almost every day. Does she watch TV during this time? Sure! Because to imagine she would spend every waking minute entertaining our dog is silly....when I'm home I don't even do that. Brea even knows our dog's favorite toys' names -- she is that attentive (shout out to Froggie!). In my first review I mention having two dogs. One of our pooches was special needs and required a very strict diet and medicine routine. Brea was the only person I trusted to keep this straight, and she always made sure my special girl was well taken care of. When our pooch passed away, she was just as upset as we were. She genuinely loves your animals like her own. But most importantly to all of these comments -- my dog loves her. LOVES HER. When we tell her Brea is coming to visit she gets excited. When Brea comes in the house our pooch can't settle down. :) For a moody Shih Tzu, that's the best compliment one can get. There is a reason Brea has so many 5-star reviews, because she is that awesome. I love that she has gotten more popular since we first used her in 2013 because that's ultimately great for her and her business. I'm very glad we found Cosmic Home and Pet, just don't take her dates when I need her. ;) read more

Our dog walker suddenly cancelled on us while we were out of town. Cosmic Home and Pet was one of the only dog walking services that was willing to help us out at the last minute without meeting us (and our dog) beforehand. They reassured us over the phone that the situation was under control; we even got periodic updates letting us know how our nervous pup was holding up. We couldn't have been more pleased with the care given to our pet. We will definitely be calling them again! read more

I can't speak highly enough of Brea at Cosmic Home and Pet. I've been travelling extensively over the last year and had a medical emergency that had me away from my cats for over a month. Honestly, I think it all was much harder on me than for the animals. Every time I came home to relaxed and happy cats, which is the best compliment for their care. The house was always clean, mail was gathered, and plants were watered. The photos Brea shared showed her and the cats getting along splendidly. I've recommended this service to friends and every time they gave glowing reviews of the care for their animals as well. read more

I hired Bria to come and look after our 4 animals and do some house work while we were away. She was phenomenal, not only did the animals lover her, but we returned to a sparkling home. I would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter or help around the home. She is detail oriented and understood out compulsive need to recycle... not all cleaning services get it. Also... I think the pets missed her when she was gone... the cat wasn't even upset we had left, very unlike her :) I will be using her services again. read more

Brea rocks. She takes such good care of my kitties, that they don't even seem to notice that we were away. Before Brea, I dreaded coming back to the kitties after vacation because they became like little wild animals... love starved and full of crazy energy. Now even for short weekend trips where we could leave them alone, we don't because we love what good care she takes of them. read more

If you worry about burdening people with your temperamental cats, Cosmic Home & Pet are the ones for you. Brea watched our brood again for 10 days this holiday season & she did another amazing job. One of our three cats has separation anxiety and *always* destroys something if we're gone too long. This time she only had one accident, and Brea replaced our waterproof sheet with another that we had at the ready. All the animals seemed content and happy when we got back. Brea sent me multiple pictures of everyone while we were gone. Thank you again! read more

I highly, highly, highly recommend cosmic PetnHome. Brea has been my dog walker for several years now, and my dog just adores her. I adore her too!! She is amazing, truly. Life before Brea was not so good: my dog is a rescue who used to be afraid of other humans, all other animals, and sometimes parked cars. Since Brea came into our lives, he started improving; I did not know that hiring a dog walker would end up being the exact therapy that he needed! She has loved and nurtured him, and he is thriving as a result. THRIVING with a really happy energy. I love the pictures that she sends and the instagram videos she posts - it is such a joy to see my dog playing with other dogs on group walks! She even started using him for her puppy training bc he is so chill, he lets puppies crawl all over him - that would never have happened before Brea. She did that. She loved and trained him into being less fearful, and I am so grateful. She's amazing! You need her in your life!! Regarding the reviewer who claimed poor service: I have known Brea for years, she has had full access to my apartment, and my dog has stayed at her place many times; I have never once had reason to question her integrity or commitment to the highest quality pet care. read more

I'm so incredibly happy to have found Brea and Jaime. My dog Brutus is shy and quiet, and really just wants to be in a nice home with lots of love. When he couldn't be with us, it broke my heart to leave him in an industrial style facility, where I knew he wasn't getting the attention he craves. After a stay with Cosmic, he was so much calmer and more relaxed, and it was clear that they loved him, too. I couldn't be happier, and I'm not dreading my next vacation! Thanks! read more

Brea is fantastic! She is very communicative and we can tell that our cats adore her. After moving to Seattle we were nervous about finding someone to watch the cats while traveling but we are totally at ease knowing Brea or any of the other Cosmic Home + Pet staff will be able to step in. 100% recommend! read more

Stephan at Cosmic Home and Pet has been petsitting our two cats whenever we go on vacation for the last three years. We wouldn't use anyone else! His picture check-ins are great and we feel better knowing our cats have someone they know taking care of them while we're gone. read more
