Loving families available for dog sitting
Willow
Seattle, WABreed: Aussiedoodle
Weight: 40 lbs
Age: 3 years old
Gender: Female
Willow is a a super friendly pup who loves to start play slowly but loves to tumble a bit and loves to be chased. Shes super smart, incredibly sweet, and loved deeply by our family. She does bark at dogs when excited to play due to being in a puppy posse for 2 years, 5 days a week. She has a hard time containing her joyfulness when a playmate is ready to go. Otherwise, she can be a lounger.
Charlie
Seattle, WABreed: American Bulldog x Italian Greyhound
Weight: 40 lbs
Age: 7 years old
Gender: Male
Hi there! I’m Holly. Dog mom, cat mom, animal lover. I have adopted many dogs and cats in my day and each one has been the absolute best. I’m the pet sitter in my group of friends, and the one everyone turns to for pet advice. We recently moved from Bend, OR to West Seattle and would love to make new friends (people AND pets!) Charlie is only recently an only dog after our eldest pup passed away a few months back so he’s a little lonely. He loves to gently play and wrestle and chase in short bursts and toss around a stuffy. He’s pretty mellow at his 7-ish years. He’s great with our cats, loves meeting people and dogs, and likes to sleep under the covers next to me! But is just as happy solo in the basement getting some alone time in his bean bag. We’d love to meet for walks, play dates in our yard or yours, and definitely trade some pet sitting for day trips or weekend trips, or longer if we all vibe!

Enzo
Seattle, WABreed: Australian Shepherd
Weight: 50 lbs
Age: 4 years old
Gender: Male
Enzo and his human live in west seattle and enjoy being outside. Enzo loves other active dogs and, like his human, prefers one on one time to large groups. He’s respectful to small dogs, but just isn’t quite sure what to do with them. He loves having other dogs over to run around with him in the back yard with the occasional rest in the grass. He’s not dominant and prefers other chill, fun loving canines like himself. Does this sound like your brand of a good time? Then reach out!

On weekends we like to go for long walks and hikes, or just relax on the couch with a movie and Bardo by our side. Bardo is sweet and playful and loves hanging out with other dogs.

Zoe

Weight: 80 lbs

We are an active family of 4 (me, hubby and two teenage boys) living in the Roosevelt neighborhood of Seattle. I am home a lot as a stay at home mom. Our girl, Zoe, is a mellow 9 year old golden retriever who happens to love daily walks, playing fetch, and begging for snacks. Other than that, she pretty much lays around and naps during the day. She gets along well with all humans and dogs. She’s a gem. What we are looking for: someone in a nearby neighborhood with whom we can swap care. Zoe is mostly an indoor dog, but does best in a house with a fenced back yard. For dog sitting swaps, we have lots of availability in general, and usually seek care for our girl for a week or two in the summer and the occasional holiday that coordinates with high school breaks. Interested? Please reach out; we would love to chat!

Storm
Seattle, WABreed: Chihuahua
Weight: 5 lbs
Age: 2 years old
Gender: Female
Hello, storm and I are happy to meet you. We live in the north west Seattle area. We are a family with 6-year-old, 10-year-old and 15-year-old. They are incredibly respectful, to tiny dogs. Our storm is treated as one of the family. She has free rain of all the house. She gets emotional attention. She gets physical exercise and lots of little treats. Storm is loved beyond anything. Storm likes to bark occasionally at passerby's like any tiny dog. She's super shy and probably prefers cats. Except her human owner is allergic to cats. We are looking for another tiny dog family who needs companionship. Loves to go gentle walks. And requires just the most love and attention, sprinkled with gentleness. Our dog is not allowed to be picked up by any of the kids, we teach our children. The dogs of storm size have very fragile tiny bones and must be only picked up by the adult. We do not harass nor tease our storm. We believe in social emotional care, yes, even for our dog. Our kids are relatively quiet, and I never scream. We are a home, that respects each other and our animal friends and family. So if you have a pup are you absolutely adore and wanted me to family who adores their tiny pup. Let's see if our pups can get along.

Maizey
Seattle, WABreed: Australian Labradoodle
Weight: 20 lbs
Age: 3 years old
Gender: Female
Maizey is the sweetest mini labradoodle. She is great with humans. She is very cuddly but also loves to play. She loves chewing on sticks and playing with balls (although she’s not the best at fetching). Loves the beach, the snow and swimming in lakes. Maizey is all about the belly rubs. She’s house-trained and well behaved. We do not feed her any human food. She’s up-to-date with vaccinations & flea/tick medication and does not take any other meds. Additional details: she is a bit reactive and territorial. She has been attacked twice by dogs so, new dogs, especially bigger than her, scare her and her reaction is to lunge and bark at them. She needs time to warm up to new dogs.
