5 Best Pet Sitters in Seattle (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Boarding a cat is not the same problem as boarding a dog, and most Seattle pet sitters on this page know that: several specialize almost entirely in cat sitting rather than dogs. The Pet Care Club of Seattle leads with 162 reviews at 4.9 stars, and most of the names below hold a rating of 4.9 or higher, so the real differences are in-home versus overnight, and which species each sitter actually knows best.

Short answer: The Pet Care Club of Seattle is the most-reviewed pet sitter in Seattle, with 162 reviews at 4.9 stars, focused on in-home cat sitting and dog walking. Wendy the Pet Sitter and Duck Duck Moose Pet Care both hold a perfect 5.0. None of the sitters here publish set rates; contact each directly for a quote based on visit length and frequency.

Our take: The deepest track record here and a genuine specialist in cat sitting, which is worth knowing if your pet is a cat rather than a dog. The team model means slightly less continuity than a solo sitter, but the reports and pairing effort make up for it.

  • Comfortable with medication schedules and special-needs pets

Our take: For an owner who needs a sitter comfortable with an elderly or medically complex pet during a longer trip, the long client tenure here stands out. This is a different job than the daily dog walks we cover on our Best Dog Walking in Seattle page, where she also appears.

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Seattle pet sitters. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from a few dozen reviews carries less weight than a 4.9 from over a hundred. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does pet sitting cost in Seattle? (2026)

None of the pet sitters on this page publish set rates in the data we collected, and pricing typically depends on visit length, number of pets, and whether it is a drop-in or overnight stay. Ask each sitter for current pricing and whether multi-pet households get a discount.

Serving all of Seattle

The pet sitters above cover neighborhoods across Seattle and the surrounding area, including West Seattle, Burien, Beacon Hill, Georgetown, and Madrona, with some also serving Edmonds and Shoreline. Searching for pet sitters near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number so you can confirm they cover your address.

What to ask before you hire a pet sitter

  • Is this an in-home visit, an overnight stay, or boarding at the sitter’s home?
  • Does the sitter have experience with my pet’s species and any medical needs?
  • Will I get the same sitter for every visit, or a rotating team?
  • How often will I receive updates or photos while I’m away?
  • Is the sitter licensed, bonded, and insured?
  • What is the cancellation policy for a trip that changes last minute?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these pet sitters?

We started from every pet sitter in Seattle with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

What is the difference between a pet sitter and a dog walker in Seattle?

A pet sitter typically covers longer absences, vacations or business trips, with drop-in visits, overnight stays, or boarding. A dog walker provides recurring daily or weekly exercise while you’re at work. Several businesses on this page also do daily walks; see our Best Dog Walking in Seattle page for that comparison.

Do Seattle pet sitters handle cats as well as dogs?

Most sitters on this page handle both, and several, including The Pet Care Club of Seattle and Duck Duck Moose, are especially strong with cats. Ask directly if your pet is a less common species like a rabbit or bird.

The bottom line

The Pet Care Club of Seattle is the safe default for its size and track record, while Wendy the Pet Sitter and Duck Duck Moose stand out for owners who want a smaller, more personal setup. Whoever you book, ask how often you’ll get updates before you leave town.
