Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I provide pet-walking and in-home (in YOUR home) pet sitting with guaranteed lowest prices. Get a mature, responsible, nonsmoking, professional pet sitter who has literally pet sat her way around the world to take care of your pet(s) in your home while you are on vacation or working out of town. I have documented success with giving both prized pets and beautiful homes the TLC that they deserve in three different countries. A writer by trade, I work from anywhere, which means your pets will have as much company and attention as they desire, day and night. I have experience with a wide variety of animals in many different combinations - dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, fish, and rats.(Yes, I am an experienced rat sitter!) I am also a "special needs" pet sitter, which means I am experienced with older pets with various impairments, and with administering pet medications, both orally and via injection. Reference letters from past pet-sitting clients all over the Seattle area are available as well as contact info for pet owners who are happy to talk with you on the phone, if you'd like a more in-depth discussion to verify that I am the real deal, including the pet owners that I am sitting for right now!

LETTER OF REFERENCE - Two Dogs - San Antonio, TX Barbara house sat for us for 10 days.  February 23rd-March 4th.  Beside watching my home she took incredible care of my animals..and I have alot.  I have 2 pugs, who both are old and ill, numerous squirrels, and more birds than one can count.  She was unbelievable with all of my "pets".  Actually, when I came home my dogs looked at me as if to say "what are you doing back..we've been having a blast".  She walked them everyday...I can barely get them up to eat, played with them, and made them part of her family. I have never had a house sitter before...with Barbara I felt a strong comfort level.  I have a home with a high dollar art collection and my husband was skeptical about having a "stranger" stay in our home.  We were more than comfortable with Barbara because she is not a smokier or drinker, nor one who likes to party.  I could tell after our meeting I could trust her 100% to stay in my home and take care of all my "kids".  She proved to be totally trustworthy and incredibly loyal.  I did leave some money on the counter and she accounted for every penny. She took my dogs to be groomed so they would be pleasant when we returned.  I never would have expected that.  Anytime I called she either answered immediately or returned my call within a hours time.  Not only only did she keep my home immaculate, but also cleaned the linens, which I never would have expected.  She is a wonderful home sitter.. with or without pets. Not only would I highly recommend her...I called her 3 days ago to see if she could come back again and watch my "kids".  I have a family emergency and need to be in Arizona next week.  She didn't hesitate a second...said she would love to.  My only wish is that she would move here!!  Anyone who engages her services is very lucky...she is a gem.  If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call me. [PHONE NUMBER FURNISHED UPON REQUEST.]  I only hope that you are fortunate enough to have Barbara stay with you.  You need not worry about Barbara. She is the real deal. My best to you, Leslie K. San Antonio, Texas 

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    I guarantee that I will be the lowest priced petsitter in Seattle. I will sometimes even do petsitting for free.... contact me to find out how.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    Most often I am an in-home petsitter for people who are going on vacation or working out of town. Generally my clients have pets with special needs, pets who are older, or pets who are accustomed to a lot of company and attention. These pets don't just need food, water and walking, they need care, love and the TLC from a substitute "mom." There's no kind of boarding situation they can give pets what they can get at home - security, comfort, routine, and one-on-one attention. That's what I provide and that's why pet owners choose me and ask me back time and time again!

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    If you're looking for in-home petsitting, the two primary concerns should be with the quality of care your pets and your home will receive, in that order. The best way to ensure that both your pets and your home receive the TLC they deserve is to choose an experienced in-home petsitter who is mature, responsible, and has a proven track record of being able to easily adapt to new environments.
