I have used Dotty's Pet Sitting for 7 years, ever since my cats were tiny kittens and it is truly the best. I am so sad I have moved out of their service area and won't be able to work with them any more. I got fun updates with texts and photos every day. Dianne is fantastic about communicating and incredibly reliable. I would have her come for an hour/day when we were out of town just so my kitties would get some social interaction and love. Her visits would make such a difference when we came back. If we didn't have Dianne come they would be stressed and feeling abandoned but after Dianne taking care of them they were relaxed and just wondering when we would feed them. If you're looking for fantastic pet care I cannot recommend them enough. read more

Dotty's pet sitting service is the best! She has taken good care of my neurotic cat when I was out of town. Her rates are very fair. She even came over to bring me my spare key after I foolishly got myself locked out one time, and refused any compensation. I would heartily recommend Dotty's pet sitting to anybody needing a caring, kind, pet sitter! read more

We actually went out of town for a few weeks and had a hard time choosing a pet sitter for our cats. There are so many out there we had a hard time choosing but ended up trying Dotty's because of the other Yelp reviews. It ended up being a great choice! Cary was great with our cats and sent us email updates every few days to keep us informed. In addition to food/scooping duty, she checked our mail and took out the trash... which was really nice to come home too! We'll definitely be using them again in the future. read more

As I was taking an impromptu trip back home, I had to find a pet sitter tout de suite. I had never been away from my cat for more than a day at a time since adopting her, so I desperately needed a caring, patient sitter who could soothe my worrying and paranoia -- and who would also take good care of my cat. And I found this person at Dotty's Pet Sitting Service. I came home to a well-fed and not particularly pissed off feline. Success! read more

Dotty's Saves the day! I travel a lot for work & I have a 14 yr old pug that has special care requirements. Although my family and friends offer to help I hate to take them up on it due to her high maintenance care. Cary the manager at Dotty's organizes everything regarding reserving the dates and the sitter. The sitter contacts you directly and comes to meet you and your pet to learn more about the requirements and how you want things done. Hollis is my primary sitter. She is wonderful - very kind and always provides me a report at the end of her visit. If Hollis isn't available Cary will provide another sitter. Best part is my pet isn't leaving her home - when I come home she is happy, healthy and not clingy. It is as if I never left. read more

We travel a lot so it's hard to wrangle friends into watching our kitties. We first tried another pet sitting service and were borderline horrified at what we came home to! Now that we've found Dotty's Pet Sitting Service we have no concerns at all that Mimi will provide excellent care to our two cats. Mimi genuinely cares for the cats and leaves us reports about each of her visits with them. We were more than excited to recently receive a text message with a picture of her playing with the kitties on our most recent trip. Aside from the love they will give your pet the prices seem reasonable for an at home visit. I would not hesitate to refer Dotty's Pet Sitting Service to any pet mommy or daddy. read more

We had a great experience with Dotty's while we were out of the country and needed someone to look after our cat Marvin for about a week. Pricing was very reasonable, we appreciated the updates and pictures, and Connie did an overall great job. We could tell upon returning home that our cat was well cared for. We hope to work with her again in the future! Thanks so much. read more

Dotty's has always been a great resource to me taking care of my two cats. For the past serval years Karol has been my dedicated sitter and I always know that my cats look forward to her visits. Good support for scheduling and reasonably priced. read more

I love them! My cat is vey social and needs a lot of attention so when we go away it's always on my mind. Dianne and Regan have been super detailed and responsive the probably 10 times I've used them over the past 5 or so years. I come home to a relaxed cat and happy plants. They've also worked hard to accommodate holiday visits at the last minute and longer trips. They obviously love animals and take seriously the responsibility of caring for them. read more

Dotty's is great! Affordable, and they always send pictures of my cat and updates while I'm away. They leave detailed notes as well. I would highly recommend entrusting your pet with them :) read more

I have a very friendly cockatoo who just needed two visits while I took a quick trip out of town. This was so convenient and easy, and I appreciated that I received text updates on my bird. My sitter, Connie, even read to him while he ate! I highly recommend Dotty's, it was well worth it having the peace of mind that my bird was fed well while I was gone, and the house was checked on as far as mail and lights. read more

I would highly recommend Dottys! Janine checked in on our cat who is old and has a leaky ear and Janine went out of her way to take special care of Mr. they are affordable and reliable and we will use them again. read more

Mary, the cat sitter who works for Dottie's Pet Sitting Service, is our "go-to" person for taking care of our cat, April. Mary is a dream! She clearly loves cats and enjoys her work. April has a new friend! We have a most dedicated, detail-oriented, professional cat sitter who makes our time away from home worry free. I highly recommend Dottie's Pet Sitting Service to provide lots of TLC for your furry house member. read more

I have used Dotty's twice now for my cat and I have been SO happy both times. I feel completely comfortable leaving on vacation and knowing my cat Olive will be very well taken care of. I especially love the "report card/update" they leave for our arrival back home. Thanks so much for your dedicated care! read more

I found this service after moving to Seattle a year ago, and have used them on 3 occasions. After checking out some boarding options, I was surprised to learn that keeping the cats at home and hiring this service would be cheaper (and obviously more pleasant for my cats). They charge $16/ half hour which is all that a cat really needs per day. All of my bookings have been over holiday weekends, and the rate is the same (I wouldn't have blamed them if they wanted to charge a little more!) We were able to get the same pet sitter, Mimi, each time. She is fantastic! She leaves us daily progress notes about what the cats were up to, and even sends pictures through text message while we are away. My cats are a little shy, but it is obvious by the pictures that I get that they feel comfortable around her after only a few visits. Additionally, they do not charge for the initial appt in which the sitter learns about the layout of your place, what your cats like/don't like, etc. They also don't charge to pick up and drop off your house key, which is pretty amazing. I have recently moved a little outside of their service area so I am not sure whether I will be able to still use them...I do intend to try, though, even if it means paying a little more. They are definitely worth it! read more

I've been using Dotty's Service for 2 years now and have been very happy. I like that I can schedule sitters with Cary via email. She's always quick to reply and let me know if someone is available for my dates. In my first Seattle location I had one regular sitter for trips out of town, and he was really great (Tim). They always schedule an initial walk through with a sitter so they're familiar with your home, where everything is, etc.... And if you're comfortable with it, they'll hold a set of keys so you don't have to worry about getting it to them each time you're out of town. I've had a couple other sitters from the service as well, all really nice and professional. I like that they always leave a little note about how the visits went. I feel like I get my moneys worth, my cats are taken care of (fed, watered, litter scooped, given attention), my mail can be brought it, and someone's checking in once a day so I feel like my house is a bit more secure. Highly recommend! read more

I have used Dotty's Pet Sitting Service several times over the past 7 years. It is such a relief to leave on vacation for 2 or 3 weeks knowing that my cats will be well taken care of. Cary does such an excellent job feeding, medicating and playing with my cats. A hand written report from each visit lets me know how the cats were on any given day. I highly recommend Dotty's Pet Sitting. After all, I trust them with my cats' lives. read more

I just returned from an 11 day trip. I am an anxious kitty mom and I had the most anxiety-free trip ever. From my first contact with Dianne I felt very confident that my two cats would be in excellent hands. All communication was timely and professional and I felt like Dianne and Dee understood and cared about my kitties. I got wonderful reports while I was gone and returned to two relaxed and happy cats. I can't say enough positive things about my experience and will very happily use Dotty's Pet Sitting again! read more

In the past, I took short trips and left my cat with many large bowls of food and water as well as a few litter boxes. Then my furry little old man went on medication. So I Yelped pet sitters and found this one. Cary is wonderful! She obviously cares and Bear took to her with no problem. She fed him daily with his medicine mixed in, cleaned his box, cleaned up tracked litter, and brought in the mail, newspaper and trash cans as needed. Great service and peace of mind for a reasonable rate. I even got kitty email updates and a daily log when I got home. I highly recommend this business! Thanks, Cary! read more

Cary from Dotty's Pet Sitting Service has been taking care of my cat, Moses, when I go out of town for the past three years. I could not be more pleased with her care! It is such a relief to have someone you can trust and rely on to take care of your pet, and you can definitely count on Cary. She feeds him, plays with him, brushes him, cleans his liter box, etc. Moses loves when Cary visits and I love the "report cards" she leaves us. Also, she always checks to make sure we get home okay so that he isn't left alone. I would definitely recommend Dotty's Pet Sitting Services to anyone who is a little overprotective about their pets (like I am)! read more
