We've asked Brea to cat sit a couple times over the weekend, and have been really happy working…read morewith 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.

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.

She's so attentive to dog needs and always is there if you need anything. We moved far away from Seattle and we still reach out to Amanda to have our dog boarded. She is like our dogs surrogate mom. Definitely cannot recommend her enough!

I've been using Amanda as Henry's weekly activity for 4 years now. She provides a unique alternate…read moreto dog walking by taking the pups to different dog parks each week. Dog parks allow Henry to release a much different kind of energy just than walking. Amanda places dogs in "packs" based on size, energy level, and play style. He loves getting to see his dog friends once a week. Amanda also accommodates our ever changing schedules and if a work meeting occurs during pick up she will come into our apartment and get Henry! Henry gallops to her and squeaks with excitement every time she sees her letting me know he is so excited for his weekly adventure. The pups are out for 4-5 hours each time and extremely tired when they get back. This service has been a game changer for us.

Next time I am planning a trip I'll make sure Loving Care is available for George and me.

She communicates clearly about key exchanges and will even water our plants and bring in packages or mail, if we let her know in advance. Vickie has even gotten our extremely shy cat to come out and play with her, and he doesn't come out for anyone (not even us sometimes)! It's clear that she cares for our animals and treats them with kindness and love. We highly, highly recommend Vickie to all pet owners in the Central District.

Strut the Pup walked my yellow lab, Charlie, for over five years, and I have nothing but wonderful…read morethings to say about their one-on-one dog walking. Einat, the owner, is very responsive and clearly cares about both her customers and her employees--and it shows in the quality of their service. Charlie typically had the same walkers at the same time each week. They were all professional, caring, attentive, and TRUE dog lovers! I loved Strut the Pup's daily walk reports and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of while I was at work. On a few occasions when I was working from home, I watched as his regular walker arrived--Charlie would be waiting at the window and greeted them with full-body wags every time. When Charlie's hips started bothering him as he got older, the team helped me adjust his walks so he could continue enjoying his outdoor adventures. Sadly, Charlie has since passed, but I've saved many of the walk-report photos his walkers took (like this one), and they remain some of my favorite pictures of him. Thank you, Einat and team, for taking such wonderful care of Charlie.

My dogs walked with several team members over time, from puppy care daily walks to twice weekly walks as adults. The walkers have all been very kind and worked well with our dogs. I appreciate their updates and photos after each walk. It is very easy to schedule and to modify service as needed based on your schedule. They are responsive, professional, and truly care about their clients. I highly recommend strut the pup and will use this service again.

We came to Seattle for my cousins wedding. Usually our ESA Titan-Dan goes with us everywhere and we…read morehad planned on taking him to the wedding with us. But, then I had a better idea and started looking for pet sitters for the day. We found several listed on yelp. Mark was one of our first calls. He was responsive and available. He met us at breakfast briefly to say hello and tell us his plan for the day with Titan and make sure that we all felt comfortable. Titan hit it off with Mark immediately. This is the first time we had ever left Titan with a stranger and we weren't sure how Titan would react. As we pulled away titan didn't even watch us leave as he and Mark were already off to a great start. Mark sent us text pics of their adventure together throughout the day & night and that really made us happy! Mark kept Titan with him and a couple other cute doggies all day and then delivered him to our vacation rental just before we got home. We were cracking up when we found a report card Mark left for Titan with a big red A+ at the top and notes of what they did and how many time he pooped! Lol! To sum it up Mark offers great service, quality care and is very compassionate. We highly recommend Mark.

Thank God I was able to find Mark because he made my boyfriend and I feel so at ease leaving our…read more11-month old German Shepherd puppy for the first time. We were going to be out of the country for a few days, and after touring a dog hospital decided we didn't feel comfortable leaving our puppy more or less locked up in a crate all day. We found Mark via Rover.com and he was able to schedule our meet and greet pretty quickly. After meeting our puppy, it was clear they hit it off, so we booked the stay and enjoyed receiving pictures and updates for each day she was with him (Thursday - Tuesday). I would highly recommend Mark as a sitter, especially for any first time pet parents. He is extremely professional and has the calmest, nurturing disposition... a true pleasure to work with. To boot, our puppy went into heat about a week before we were scheduled to leave the country, and Mark rolled with the punches like a pro. He took amazing care of her and accommodated her being in heat. I would give him 5 stars! As an added bonus, I believe having Khaleesi (our puppy) be part of Mark's pack for daily walking and overnight stays greatly helped calm her energy level down, offer her a stable routine, and priceless socializing. She returned to us calmer, more obedient, and attentive.

From the very beginning, Tim and Keiko were incredibly responsive and professional. They took the time to meet with us in person beforehand to make sure it was a great fit and to fully understand what we needed to feel comfortable leaving our home and pets in their care. During our trip, Keiko took amazing care of our golden retriever and two cats, as well as our home. She sent frequent updates and lots of pictures of our happy, relaxed pets, which gave us so much peace of mind while traveling. It was clear that Keiko genuinely loves animals. We came home to a spotless house and very happy animals. As if that wasn't enough, Keiko even left homemade dog treats in our freezer -- above-and-beyond! We couldn't recommend Fur Babies House and Petsitting more highly. If you're looking for reliable, communicative, and truly caring house and pet sitters, Keiko and Tim are the best. Five stars all the way!

They have all been so clearly skilled and passionate about pups and my critters always look like they're having a good time with them in the photos. I couldn't recommend this company enough. Besides the amazing people who walk the dogs, this company also has features that make me feel secure -- like the gps map of where the dog walkers went with my pups and a timestamp of when they started and ended. They're also bonded and insured. And they're easy to reach if I have questions about services and invoices and whatnot. Here, I'll add a picture of what the dog walk reports look like --
