Pet Sitting & In-Home Dog Sitting in North Seattle
When you need to be away from home, your dog does not always need to leave with you. Fenway and Addy's Adventures provides dependable pet sitting and in-home dog sitting across North Seattle, helping pets stay comfortable in the environment they already know. Whether you are working a long day, heading out of town for a weekend, traveling for work, or planning a longer trip, we can care for your pet while maintaining the routines that make home feel familiar.
Our North Seattle pet sitting service is designed around the individual animal rather than a one-size-fits-all schedule. Feeding, walks, playtime, medications, potty breaks and companionship can all be handled according to your instructions. We serve Crown Hill, Ballard, Blue Ridge, Greenwood, Phinney Ridge and Loyal Heights, with care arranged around your pet’s normal routine and your household’s needs.
For dogs that are happiest in their own space, in-home pet sitting can be an excellent alternative to boarding. It is especially useful for older dogs, nervous pets, multi-pet households, puppies with established routines, or animals that simply settle better when their bed, food, smells and surroundings stay the same.

Reliable Pet Care Without Taking Your Dog Away From Home
Every dog responds differently when its owner is away. Some are happy to stay in a boarding environment, while others are calmer when their day continues as normally as possible. In-home pet sitting gives your dog the benefit of familiar surroundings while still providing the care, exercise and human attention they need.
Staying at home can also make practical sense. There is no need to transport your pet across Seattle, pack everything for an overnight stay, or introduce them to an unfamiliar sleeping area. Their food is already in the kitchen, their leash is by the door, their favorite sleeping spot is exactly where they expect it to be, and their normal neighborhood walk can remain part of the day.
This type of care can be particularly valuable for pets that have detailed feeding instructions, take routine medications, live with cats or other animals, or become unsettled by sudden changes in environment. The goal is not simply to “check in” on your dog. It is to keep the essential parts of their day consistent while you are gone.
Going Away? Your Dog Does Not Have To.
Keep your pet at home with familiar routines, familiar walks and personalized attention.
What Our North Seattle Pet Sitting Service Includes
Feeding & Fresh Water
We follow your normal feeding instructions as closely as possible, including meal times, portion sizes, treats and any special dietary requirements you provide. Water bowls can be refreshed during visits so your pet always has access to clean water.
Walks, Potty Breaks & Exercise
For dogs, pet sitting can include neighborhood walks and regular potty breaks based on their normal routine. Walk length and pace should reflect the dog’s age, energy level, mobility and your instructions. Seattle Parks requires dogs to remain leashed outside designated off-leash areas, and our local recommendations are written with those rules in mind.
Medication & Routine Care
If your pet has routine care requirements, provide clear written instructions before service begins. This can include scheduled oral medication, supplements or other established household routines that fall within the sitter’s agreed scope of care.
Play, Companionship & Attention
A pet sitting visit is more than food and a quick trip outside. Depending on your pet, time can include play, calm companionship, brushing, favorite games, enrichment, or simply being present with an animal that prefers a quieter interaction.
Home Check-Ins
Because the care takes place in your home, agreed household tasks can also be incorporated when appropriate, such as bringing in mail, adjusting lights, checking water bowls, or making sure the home is secure after a visit.
Overnight Pet Sitting
Overnight care can be particularly useful for dogs that are used to company in the evening, pets with early-morning routines, or owners who want more continuous presence while they travel.

Dog Sitting vs. Dog Boarding: Which Is Right for Your Dog?
Both dog sitting and in-home dog boarding can provide excellent care; the better fit depends on the dog, the household and the type of trip. In-home dog sitting keeps your pet in familiar surroundings. Their meals, sleeping areas and neighborhood remain unchanged, which can be helpful for dogs that are sensitive to new environments or for households with more than one pet.
Dog boarding, by comparison, moves the dog to the caregiver’s boarding environment. For social, adaptable dogs, that may be a convenient option and can work especially well when owners prefer not to have a sitter in the home. The important question is not which service is universally “better,” but which environment allows your particular dog to be comfortable, safely cared for and appropriately exercised.
If you are comparing the two options, Fenway and Addy's Adventures can help you think through the practical differences.
Looking for a Trusted Pet Sitting Service Near You?
When you search for a pet sitting service near me, you are usually looking for more than convenience. You are trusting someone with your pet, your home, your routine and often access to your property while you are away. That makes choosing a local pet sitter especially important.
Fenway and Addy's Adventures provides pet sitting in North Seattle with a focus on dependable, neighborhood-based care. Serving Crown Hill, Ballard, Blue Ridge, Greenwood, Phinney Ridge and Loyal Heights means our team works in the same communities where our clients and their pets live. Local familiarity can make day-to-day care simpler, from reaching your home reliably to following the walking routes and routines your dog already knows.
Working with a trusted pet sitter near you also gives you a clear local point of contact. Rather than sending your pet somewhere unfamiliar, in-home pet sitting lets your dog remain in the environment they know, with their own bed, food, toys and normal household cues. For many pets, that continuity is one of the biggest advantages of choosing local home-based care.
Whether you need regular check-ins, evening visits, vacation coverage or overnight pet sitting, the goal is the same: reliable care that fits your pet rather than forcing your pet into a completely new routine. If you are searching for a pet sitting service near me in North Seattle, Fenway and Addy's Adventures offers personalized care built around your household and your dog's needs.

Pet Sitter Near Me: Local Care From a Team You Can Trust
When you search for a pet sitter near me, the person behind the service matters. Fenway and Addy's Adventures is built around a local, North Seattle team with different professional backgrounds but the same focus: safe, dependable and individualized care for every pet.
Founder and Head of Operations Dan has cared for dogs for more than 15 years and personally oversees every booking.

Dan works alongside a trusted team that includes background-checked, insured and pet-first-aid-certified caregivers.
Co-founder Amanda helps shape the warm, detail-oriented approach behind the business. Her work as a speech-language pathologist centers on patience, empathy and individualized care, qualities she brings directly into the way the team supports pets and their families. Kevin is background-checked, insured through the business, Pet First Aid certified and trained in Canine Fear Free care. Samica brings years of Parks & Recreation experience and a strong understanding of dependable, community-based service.
The wider team adds even more animal-care and client-service experience. Jason is Pet First Aid certified and brings more than a decade of marketing and storytelling experience to the business. Katie has a background in veterinary medicine and years of hands-on animal experience, while Mary Grace combines pet-sitting experience with a calm, patient background in education.
For pet owners, that means you are not hiring an anonymous listing from a marketplace. You are choosing a local pet sitting team with identifiable people, clear standards and roots in the Seattle community. That local accountability is especially valuable when someone is entering your home and caring for a member of your family while you are away.

Local Pet Care Across North Seattle
Crown Hill, Ballard, Blue Ridge, Greenwood, Phinney Ridge and Loyal Heights.
Pet Sitting Throughout North Seattle
Local pet care works best when the sitter understands the area as well as the animal. These North Seattle neighborhoods each have their own street patterns, parks and everyday walking environments.
Pet Sitting in Crown Hill
We provide pet sitting and dog sitting throughout Crown Hill, including the residential streets around Holman Road, 15th Avenue NW and the surrounding neighborhood. Crown Hill Park at Holman Road NW and 13th Avenue NW includes walkways, open space, seating and plantings, while nearby Crown Hill Glen provides a smaller natural setting with trees, native plants and a winding path. For dogs whose normal routine includes local neighborhood walks, Crown Hill offers a practical mix of residential routes and nearby green spaces without needing to travel far from home.
Pet Sitting in Ballard
Ballard gives pet owners a wide variety of walking environments, from quieter residential blocks to larger parks closer to Puget Sound. Golden Gardens Park is one of the neighborhood’s most recognizable outdoor destinations, with trails, shoreline views and a designated one-acre dog off-leash area in the upper northern part of the park. Dogs are not allowed on Seattle park beaches, so beach-adjacent walks need to stay on permitted routes. Ballard Commons also provides lawns and accessible walkways in the neighborhood’s urban core. For dogs that already have a favorite Ballard route, in-home sitting makes it easier to keep that routine familiar.
Pet Sitting in Blue Ridge
Blue Ridge is especially well positioned for dog owners who enjoy access to Carkeek Park. Seattle Parks describes Carkeek as a 216-acre forested ravine on the edge of Blue Ridge and Broadview, with roughly six miles of trails through forest, creeks, meadows, wetlands and beaver-pond habitat. That makes the surrounding area a distinctive part of North Seattle for active dogs and owners who enjoy longer outdoor walks. During pet sitting, however, the right route should always match the dog’s established routine, leash manners, fitness and your instructions rather than automatically turning every visit into a trail outing.
Pet Sitting in Greenwood
Greenwood is a strong fit for neighborhood-based pet sitting because so much of daily care can happen close to home. Greenwood Park occupies a full city block and includes a large open lawn, mature trees and ADA walkways, alongside its community recreation features. The broader neighborhood also offers a network of residential streets that can work well for routine dog walks. For pets that prefer predictability, an in-home sitter can keep meals, potty breaks and exercise centered on the same Greenwood environment they know every day.
Pet Sitting in Phinney Ridge
Phinney Ridge sits close to one of North Seattle’s best-known recreation areas: Woodland Park. Seattle Parks lists pathways, grassy hills, woods and a large wooded dog off-leash area within the park. That gives local dog owners options for both controlled neighborhood walks and, when appropriate and specifically agreed, access to a designated off-leash facility. Staying at home while you travel means your dog can continue enjoying the Phinney Ridge and Woodland Park environment they already recognize instead of adjusting to a completely new part of the city.
Pet Sitting in Loyal Heights
Loyal Heights has a strongly residential feel, with neighborhood green spaces woven into the area. Loyal Heights Community Center sits in the heart of the neighborhood beside a large green space and playfield, while Salmon Bay Park offers grassy slopes, tall shade trees, benches and a quieter park setting farther south. Because Seattle prohibits dogs on children’s play areas and organized athletic fields, walks should use permitted paths and surrounding streets rather than the playfield itself. For Loyal Heights households, in-home dog sitting keeps care local and makes it easier to maintain the walks and routines your dog already expects.
When Is In-Home Pet Sitting a Good Choice?
In-home pet sitting can work for many different schedules and household situations. It is especially useful when you want your pet’s surroundings to remain unchanged while you are away.
-
Vacations and weekend trips — your pet stays home while you travel.
-
Business travel — consistent visits or overnight care can keep the household routine moving.
-
Long workdays — scheduled visits can provide a walk, potty break and companionship.
-
Senior dogs — familiar floors, beds and routines may be easier than moving to a new environment.
-
Puppies — frequent breaks and established feeding routines can be maintained at home.
-
Nervous or environment-sensitive pets — reducing changes in surroundings may help them settle more easily.
-
Multi-pet households — dogs, cats and other household pets can be cared for without transporting everyone elsewhere.
The best arrangement depends on your pet’s temperament, health, routine and care requirements. During the initial conversation, Fenway and Addy's Adventures should explain what information it needs from the owner and whether the requested schedule is a good fit for the service offered.
How do I find a trusted pet sitter near me?
Look for a local pet sitter who is transparent about who will care for your pet, how bookings are managed, what training or certifications the team holds, and how communication works while you are away. A good fit should also be willing to learn your pet's routine, temperament and household instructions before care begins. Fenway and Addy's Adventures uses a local team and Dan personally oversees every booking; you can meet the full team here.
