Common questions
We specialize in small animals, including all of the pocket pets listed above and more. We can also accommodate larger animals such as cats on a case-by-case basis, though we are unable to provide care that requires more than two visits per day.
On a case-by-case basis, Pocket Pet Care can accommodate illness or special needs. Please submit a booking request and we will get back to you about your pet’s care.
You should be able to input as much information as you need into the booking form. Additionally, complimentary online consultations are offered with each booking to ensure that all of your pet’s needs can be discussed.
Not at all! We offer both once-daily and twice-daily visits. When booking, you can choose the option that best fits your pet’s routine.

Pocket Pet Care's founder Courtney with her rat Gemini
Our Story
Meet the founder
When I was planning a trip across the country, I realized that finding small pet care in Seattle was far more difficult than I expected. My rats mean just as much to me as anyone's dog or cat.
After years of working and volunteering in animal shelters, sanctuaries, and wildlife rehab, along with seven years of personal small pet experience, I knew I could offer a service that would make any small pet's guardian happy with the quality of care.
