Pet Care Specialist

Amanda B.

Hello! I'm Amanda and I moved to Seattle in June of 2019 from Hillsboro, Kansas! I've been through a variety of jobs to get through the end of high school and beginning of college, which has been great for finding out what I enjoy most! My passions and hobbies are mostly on the creative side including writing, painting, and especially photography!

Growing up on a farm in the middle of nowhere meant I was able to be around a variety of animals. My family had cattle, chickens at one point, horses for a bit, a few cats, and many dogs. We had a lot of land so it was easy for us to help out stray dogs sometimes too! Sadly, my current apartment doesn't allow pets but I hope to have a dog, cat, and even a snake in the future!

I can't wait to connect with all of your lovely fur babies through Puget Sound Pets!

Bob F.

Retired from his position as King County Metro transportation planner where he designed both the bike-rack-on-bus and the jobs access program. Bob is a Seattle-native raised in the city’s Central Area and Rainier Valley. He's also a playwright and poet who loves dogs.

Bob stays active walking the streets of his hometown as a part-time dog walker for Puget Sound Pets. He has raised and trained Shelties for over 20 years. An advocate for animal welfare, he has also been involved with animal rescue for more than 10 years. He began working for Puget Sound Pets about 8 years ago following the loss of his two border collies, Ami and Pepper both rescues.

"Walking for Puget Sound Pets refocused me. The business is one of the most trusted in the Pacific Northwest. It bonded me with many new dogs. Walks are very calming and relaxing. We are intent on having a good, safe time as we explore their neighborhoods. In all these years, I’ve never had a dog that wasn’t important. There are moments before, during and after a walk where you can talk with a dog. They know they can trust you and others."

Pet Care Specialist & Administrative Assistant

Xian C.

Hey, I’m Xian! I’m a graphic designer with a penchant for medical microbiology and plant-based cooking (though usually not both at once). I’ve spent most of my life learning to communicate with and care for people and animals with particular needs and interesting backgrounds, which has been both a privilege and a personal passion of mine. My partner and I currently have one incredible, sweet, former stray cat named Tuna, and another incredible but very sharp and very rambunctious kitten, named Beef. I’ve also owned mice, rats, and many, but not enough, hamsters. I always look forward to getting to know new pets!

Marisa G.

Marisa brings passion, curiosity and sense of exploration to the many paths she’s journeyed in life.  She spent nearly a decade working in the international development sector and has also been a part of different non-profits and start-ups.  In 2015 she launched her own business, Naturefy, that connects people with their true nature and with the natural world.  She considers herself a wilderness guide, spiritual life coach and health/wellness counselor.  Marisa has always had a connection and passion for animals.  

Growing up with two Pomeranians and a number of cats, she began her love for animals very early and has consistently been a go to pet sitter for many friends and family throughout her life.  Marisa and her boyfriend Josh adopted a sweet pug, Ella, a year ago who is dainty, stubborn and full of licks and who is beside her nearly always.  Marisa is intuitive and is excited to have the opportunity to more consciously hone her communication with animals.  She lives in Seattle and often gets outside to the many Seattle parks and also enjoys running, hiking, playing soccer, and sharing good food and conversation with friends and family.

​

"I believe part of our path forward as humans is to learn how to be better animals on this precious planet of ours.  I feel animals have a lot to teach us on this matter and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to lovingly care for your pets, learn from them and be a messenger of their wisdom out to the greater community."

Brenden G.

Hey! My name is Brenden and I am fairly new to the PNW. I moved here, with my Fiancé, dogs, and cat, in October of 2021. I am originally from Southern Cali, but lived most of my life in the Mid-West. And all I can say is, I am so glad to be back out West!

I've always had bigger pups, anywhere from 65lbs to 100+! And then I meet my fiancé and she always had cats. So, I a big adjustment for her, haha! But I do most of the pet caring at home. So, why not make it a job too!  In my time outside of Puget Sound Pets, I am a Nature and Sports Photographer, Writer, Graphic Designer, and a Sports YouTuber. Or, at least trying that last one!

Pet Care Specialist

Olivia P.

Hi, I'm Olivia!  I'm relatively new to the PNW, originally I'm from the Nevada desert. I have a background in childcare and education which comes in handy when working with fur babies! I have one cat who my partner and I adopted as a kitten. Her name is Dandelion because as a kitten she was just a tiny ball of fluff with eyes (and claws). I love being outdoors, riding my bike, walking, hiking, camping and just hanging out. I also love to cook, read scifi and cuddle Dandelion.
