A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Seattle

October through May brings 150+ rain days. Seattle sitters carry towels, work around indoor enrichment, and use the covered I-5 Colonnade off-leash for rainy-day energy burn.

When demand peaks

Demand is steady year-round with summer hiking-sitter spikes (June to September) and a smaller Christmas/New Year peak. Daily mid-day walks dominate booking volume thanks to the city's DINKWAD (dual income, no kids, with a dog) demographic.

Know your Seattle routes

Most bookings cluster Ballard to Beacon Hill. Owners look for sitters who know the local parks, leash rules, and the breeds they keep, from Australian Shepherd, Labrador, Goldendoodle.
