Cat Sitters in Home, WA

Lakisha is such a wonderful house sitter and animal companion! One could literally not find a better personality to care for animals. Lakisha is a detail oriented, focused but flexible career woman, who is somehow also an outdoorsy, hiking, nature-loving vegan, completely in harmony with animals. She’s able to work from home, so she spent tons of time with my cat. I don’t have dogs right now, but if I did, she would have been cross-country skiing and snowshoeing and hiking with them every day. She literally offered to bring her own cleaning supplies and detergent, to make sure that they are vegan and cruelty free. She organized my kitchen and took adorable pictures of my cat, and sent me a little videos of him. She is the perfect housesitter. I was really wowed by Lakisha’s care, and am so grateful for everything she did…taking care of François, my beloved three legged kitty cat, for an entire month, when I was on the other side of the world. When I first interviewed with Lakisha, she had really great questions. For instance, she prompted, “Tell me about your daily routine with François.” Then she truly listened as I described a day with my cat. Which, for all you cat people out there, is really not a very exciting day. But she took notes. She then asked, “Does he have any special needs or medications?” At the time, he wasn’t on any medication, but right before I left, he did get a prescription… And Lakisha was completely willing to embark upon the difficult task of managing medication in a cat that she had just met. She was really fearless when it came to his health and needs. I was traveling to the other side of the world, in South Sudan, where I didn’t know if I would have Internet access and was working in a stressful situation. Lakisha would send me pictures of François, or a little videos of him playing with his mouse. It was such a relief to know that he was safe and OK with somebody. I remember the day when she wrote to me that they had really connected… And I knew that he actually had a friend who saw his special spark. Then… (!!!) I had to extend my stay…over Christmas, and she stayed extra just to take care of him, through the holidays. Absolutely amazing. When I came home, the house was perfectly clean, with a little gift on the counter. Lakisha had remembered that I made a joke about taking care of my basil plant (It was clearly an already dead plant)….so she bought me a brand new one and also a really pretty nice smelling candle. I am so lucky to have had her with my beloved cat, when I was so very far away, never having left him for so long. It is amazing how somebody can be a stranger one moment, and then they are a beloved cat-auntie the next… Somebody to really trust with your pet and your home. Thank you so much, Lakisha!

John and his son Orion went above and beyond to communicate brilliantly with us, and to leave the house spotless and our dog happy and contented. We are so thankful and really appreciated all the care and attention they gave to their sit here. We'd love them to come back whenever they can!

Gracie looked after our cat and house for one month during the summer. She had her little dog with her. She was very responsive and kept in touch during our absence. Everything looked great after we got home. Zoey our cat seems happy and was glad to see us. Gracie cleaned the surfaces, vacuumed the house and changed sheets and towels before leaving. She had a lockbox for key exchanges, which was convenient.

Michelle (Shelley) was absolutely wonderful and provided everything that we needed while we were gone! Kya was well cared for, the gardens and flowers looked beautiful, and the house was cleaner than we left it! She even left a bouquet of flowers for us! We would love to have her back anytime for future sits!

Cole came a day early so we had a chance to chat and get to know each other which was great. Freya was very tired and happy from all of the walks and hours at the park. My house was spotless when I got home which was great.

Erica and Michael took great care of our senior dog. They were responsive and organized and flexible. I highly recommend them.

Lesa and Merrill provided excellent care for my aging dog. Really appreciate all that they did!!

Lee took care of Billy and Betsy and contacted me when needed for information regarding the csts. He left the house tidy.

Susanna was wonderful! Very communicative, send vids & pix of our dear Scout. House, litterboxes, etc. all VERY CLEAN. Huzzah for Susanna! you wont be disappointed.

Jodie was great! I am so glad to have her take care of my house and pets! She was very attentive to making sure that everything was taken care of while we were gone for two weeks and made me feel assured by sending videos and communicating throughout our absence. The place was left clean and she watered the garden and played and walked the dog daily. So happy to host her! Would definitely recommend.

It was a pleasure to have Anne stay in my home and I feel very fortunate to have found yet another fabulous sitter for my wee family. Anne was great and the entire arrangement went very smoothly with great communication and she very obviously adored animals! From the minute she arrived (and actually even before), it was obvious I could relax knowing they were in good hands... always such a great relief when you're going away! She took great care of my family and home and I loved the daily updates with photos and videos. I arrived home to a tidy house and very happy and content pets... all went smoothly with Twiggy's insulin injections twice a day so I could relax, knowing they were having the best care. I would happily welcome Anne back again and highly recommend to others. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my 3 and I hope you enjoyed your short stay in Scotland. Many Thanks and take care... Jane, Leila, Twiggy and Kirrie 🐾 🐾 🐾

This is the second time we’ve had Michelle and Pedro housesit for us. We were so lucky to get them back to spend the weekend with Macho. They took our dog for walks and played with him. We even received adorable pictures with updates. We feel very blessed to have them take care of our home and pets. Trustworthy! We would definitely have them back again!
