We take pride in the services we offer to our customers. Read what some of our satisfied clients have said about us!
"We have four 'rescue' fox terriers so they come with a bit of baggage. Kim comes to our house each day while we are at work and lets them run and play in the yard. It is a comfort to us knowing that our dogs receive Kim's care and attention while we're away. We know what a handful she has with our pack."
Luke & Jean, Burien
"Wonderful, trustworthy service! We have unusual pets - three Richardson's ground squirrels - and having Kim's service makes all the difference when we travel, knowing that they're getting the same attention and care as when we're home. There's nothing like the peace of mind that comes from being able to relax while away knowing your pets are safe and well cared for. Kim is extremely accomodating and utterly professional, with solid handoff and great communication.!"Tim, West Seattle
"Kim, I can't express enough how thankful we are that you took such great care of our pets while we were gone. It was such a relief to know they were in such good hands with you. And thank you, too, for staying on while we were stranded. Boy, is it good to be home!Renee', Burien
"Kim did an outstanding job caring for my three cats. She is a compassionate person who was very concerned about all the details involved in their care. I found her to be timely and responsive. She was very patient when meeting them, & didn't demand immediate friendship with them (you know how cats are -- many of them need some time to decide when & whether they want to approach a stranger). She was also very patient in learning all their possible hiding spots so she would have the best chance of finding them on her visits. She sent me an email every day describing every visit in great detail - how the cats behaved, where they were hiding, who came out, who ate what & how much, & how healthy each appeared to be. She was careful to tidy up around the litter box after cleaning it, & to wash out their wet food dishes (she only leaves wet food out for about twenty minutes -- never overnight). She also had no objection to including a few small chores -- watering a particular plant; grabbing the mail; that kind of thing -- & I think would have been happy to do more, had we needed it.
Overall, I found her approach to her business to be very professional - organized, neat, & conscientious. She was enthusiastic about attending to all the details, and about making things function for our ease & convenience. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter. I should add that my top two concerns in hiring someone unknown were responsibility & affection for cats. I give her top marks in both categories. I always worry that a pet sitter might really be a dog person just picking up some cats on the side for the income. But I didn't find that about Kim at all - she treated my kitties with compassion & attention".
Jane, West Seattle
" My husband and I have very demanding jobs and are very fortunate to have Kim take care of our dogs midday. Kim is very good with our dogs and truly cares for them. When we go on trips for business or pleasure, Kim will post pictures or video clips of our dogs during her visit on Facebook so that we can see how they are doing. We know we can entrust our brats with her. Thank you, Kim!"Adrienne, West Seattle
"You were recommended by our regular pet sitter as she was going out of town at a time we needed service. We knew that you cared for her dog when she was away and that she would not trust her pet to just anyone. She would look for someone who is like her - trustworthy, attentive, loving, detail oriented and conscientious. We found you to be all of those things when you cared for Larry and Shiloh. We will certainly recommend you to others and will use you again when our regular sitter is unavailable. Excellent service! Thank you Kim!"Deborah, SeaTac
"I was so pleased with how attentive Kim was to my boys. I loved that she sent me picture messages each time she stopped in with them. It really made for a more enjoyable trip because I didn't have to worry about my kitties. I will definitely be using Kim's services again!"Meg, West Seattle
"I appreciated Kim's attention to detail regarding our cat's well being during our vacation. It was also very comforting to receive emails from Kim while away letting us know everything was okay."
Jenny, Normandy Park
"Kim thinks of everything! I was able to pack & go without any worries about leaving the house or especially the animals. They clearly received TLC."
Kitty, West Seattle
"It gave us great peace of mind to know that while we were on vacation our cats and home were in such good care. Kim was great with our cats and it was fun getting daily e-mail updates letting us know how they were doing. Can't wait to call Kim for my next vacation."
Krystn, Seattle
"Kim is the BEST!! Our kitties were so well taken care of that we didn't have to worry about them at all. We loved the daily email updates...and truly appreciated the extra touch of bringing in our mail and cleaning the kitty box. We'll DEFINITELY use Kim for all our future vacations."Michelle, West Seattle
" Thanks Kim! We really appreciate your kindness and care for our animals and know we can relax when we're out of town."Sydney, West Seattle
"Kim, you did a wonderful job! We had a great trip and felt so good knowing our animals were in such great hands! Thank you so much!"Kim, Normandy Park
"Just a note of thanks for the extraordinary helpfulness and kindness you and Norm demonstrated during our visit there. It was so appreciated! The weather certainly put a damper on most of our plans, but thanks to you two, we did get to and from the game. Many, many thanks. Should you ever need a reference from a very satisfied customer, please contact us."
(Jack & Flo had come from Idaho to see the Seahawk game on 12/21/08. This was during our snow. I was to sit their dogs at a hotel while they were at the game. My husband Norm drove me to the hotel. They were apprehensive of driving in a strange city not knowing where they were going in the weather conditions, so he offered them a ride. What a shame it would have been to come all this way and miss what you had come for due to the snow). Blue Heeler and Rottweiler pup

"Cooper, Dobby, and I are moving at the end of the month to Milton. I assume that you do not service the Milton area. I just wanted to write and thank you for your excellent service. I wish you nothing but good fortune!!"Tom, Seattle
"Thanks so much for taking care of Belle while we’re away – it really makes all the difference knowing that your pet is taken care of and that we can relax and enjoy the trip, family, etc!"Lisa, Normandy Park
"We have used Kim's services a few times while traveling. It is so relieving to know that our pets are being cared for when we are away. We have 2 dogs and Kim's services are actually cheaper than putting them both in a kennel, plus they get to stay in their home and not in a crate all day. Kim does a wonderful job of communicating how the dogs are doing while we are away so there is no worry. I would recommend her services to anyone in the area!"Amanda, West Seattle
"Peace of mind is Right! It's awesome to know that when we leave town Kim is there to take care of the pets and house. Macy and Rama just love her! Kim is very respectful and professional and I would recommend anyone in need of pet care to call her ASAP. A bonus: when possible Kim will post pics of them so we can see what they are up to when we're away! "Julie, West Seattle
"We used Kim's services and were very pleased with how she cared for our two big dogs. Kim is trustworthy, reliable, and wonderful with animals. We often had crazy schedules and Kim was always responsive and found a way to care for our furry friends. We moved out of the area and miss her - we highly recommend her!"
