About this assignment
A warm, reliable animal lover who is calm and patient. Butter enjoys company — she can have some separation anxiety but manages fine alone up to 3 or 4 hours. She is happiest with someone who often stays home. We are working on reactivity to dogs. (I need a sitter who uses positive reinforcement, not corrections, please!) Butter loves lap time! Let's do a meet-and-greet first.
What responsibilities are required of the house sitter
Give Butter lots of loving! Take her out for potty breaks and at least one neighborhood walk a day. She takes a pill 1x a day - hidden in food goes well. Minimal home oversight — mail, plants, security. Updates and photos to me welcome!
What are the good features of the property and location
Upper level with stunning Olympic mountain and ship canal views, abundant light, spacious open plan, easy parking. Wonderful deck where you can hang out, sun, relax, eat. Friendly, quiet and safe neighborhood. Walk to Fremont's cafes, Sunday market, and canal. Ten minutes drive to downtown.
What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment
Butter prefers lots of affection, lap-time and companionship — she's sweet and sensitive but anxious when alone for longer than 3 hours or so. (Downstairs friend/tenant can offer some respite!). Ideal for someone primarily home-based who loves affectionate, cuddly small dogs. Non-smokers only. PS Every sitter we've had so far ends by saying..."If you ever need to give Butter up, we want her." !!!!!!
Can I bring my own pets?
No, sorry.

Great stay in Seattle with Butter
Susan and Butter were great! Susan is very communicative and detailed. Her house was very comfortable and had everything you could need for a stay. Such a great view from Susan's deck! It's close to many things in the Fremont and Ballard neighborhoods, easily walkable to many conveniences. Butter was such a sweetheart. She quickly became my shadow and would snuggle into me every chance she could get. Caring for Butter couldn't have been much easier, between Susan's detailed notes and Butter's lovely personality. Susan, thank you so much for letting me stay with Butter!

Susan Partnow and Butter
My wife Lauri and I enjoyed sitting for Susan and Butter. Susan is a very good host and Butter could not be cuter or sweeter. Susan’s home is beautiful and has gorgeous views from the deck. Our son lives in Seattle and we were able to spend time with him. Susan even allowed him to spend a couple of nights with us, and Butter hit it off with him right away. She even made a nice dinner the night we arrived that we enjoyed with her and her downstairs friend/tenant. If you get the chance to sit for Butter, you will enjoy her sweet nature, Susan’s beautiful home and the great city of Seattle with all its character and amenities.

Butter is such a lady!
I had such a wonderful time looking after Butter. She’s a sweet snuggler who loves to be attached to her “person”. Susan had me come the day before and we had a wonderful dinner w/her neighbor. Butter is literally the sweetest little lady. She wanted to be wherever I was…sitting on my lap, or having me hold her…she loves to be held like a baby! 🥹 Butter and I bonded very quickly and had a wonderful time taking walks and talking to the birds and squirrels. Anyone would be blessed to be able to spend time with Butter and fall in love with her, just like I did.
