House Sitter in Seattle, Washington

I'm an
Individual
Hi folks! I'm a young professional who's looking to take care of your house and/or pets while you get some R&R. I'm living with my parents out in Woodinville for financial reasons right now, but I've recently started an amazing full-time job in downtown Seattle. This means a few great things for you: 1. You know I will definitely be enthusiastic to care for your house. Any shortening of my nightmare commute is great, and (as I'm sure you can understand) it's always nice to get a little bit of a break from the family! 2. I have total flexibility with dates, and I can take jobs on very short notice. Because I don't have my own place to worry about, I don't have to find someone to water my plants while I'm gone - I can just leave my house and adorable dog to my parents and focus on your place! 3. I'm very familiar with the area, and have experience with a variety of situations, from houses to apartments to farms. I also have access to a car, but I'm familiar enough with bus routes and other public transit in the area, so if you have no parking, it's no problem! All this is to say that I would be a great choice as you're looking for someone to take care of your residence while you're away. I have rather a lot of experience with housesitting. I've worked with apartments, multi-acre farms, and houses, dogs (small and large), cats (indoor and outdoor), fish, hamsters, rabbits, birds, and places with no pets but lots of plants. I've also done sits as short as one night and as long as four weeks. I'd love to discuss your needs and what I can do to meet them! Other things about me: I'm 24 years old and work at a law firm in downtown Seattle; I'm fanatic about Seattle sports (particularly the Mariners and Seahawks) as well as English rugby; I (well, my parents) have a tiny and adorable dog named Posey; I also enjoy board games, theatre (both making and watching), cooking, and spending time with my wonderful boyfriend. Let me know if you think I can give you a hand!

I recommend Rebecca 100%! She's responsible, respectful, and a HIT with my very picky cat! Last year, she stayed at my apartment to watch my cat Harvey for several weeks and did a wonderful job. Harvey doesn't warm up to just anyone--I have come home a few times with other sitters only to find him under the bed and in an awful mood for days--but by the end of their time together they were thick as thieves and he was still of a decidedly better temperament than when left with some of his other cat-sitters. And, when my plans got extended a bit and I had to arrange secondary care for him, Rebecca was super flexible and helpful about getting the place ready for someone else to stay for a couple of days and getting the keys to the right person. It took a lot of my worry out of the situation and helped me manage to enjoy my vacation to the fullest. I trust her entirely in my apartment and with my cat, and I'm hiring her again for my next long vacation! If you're looking for a house- or cat-sitter, you can't do better.

I met Rebecca upon her return to the Seattle area, as she was offered and accepted an internship with our organization, on her way home from grad school in Europe. I was delighted with how immediately Rebecca jumped into a position of great trust with and by our small but mighty company. This was felt and respected by both sides of our circumstances, Becca's and ours. And since, Rebecca has house sit for me and my household with terrific confidence and rightfully so. Rebecca loves animals so it was easy to trust she would take care of our fury family, and she is a woman capable of tremendous focus and attention to detail. I felt she embraced our requests and expectations, and we felt lucky, and safe with her in our home.

Rebecca is very reliable, has great personal integrity, and takes excellent care of our darling kitty. She also sends delightful daily recaps of the kitty's shenanigans. I was introduced to Rebecca when she was an intern with my company. Not only is she a great housesitter, but she is a wonderful writer/researcher.
