About

A business born from love

Auntie No Pets - Owner  (4).jpg

Auntie No Pets started post-COVID, when owner Tirza found her passion in pet sitting after realizing during lockdown that she didn't want another desk job. It started with a friend asking her to pet sit, and it grew organically. The pets brought joy; from there, Auntie No Pets became a trusted name in Kitsap.

 

We have heard from countless clients what a nightmare hiring the right pet sitter can be, and we want to help restore peace and trust to that process. 

 

We’re the only independent sitter recognized in Best of North Kitsap. Because we don’t just show up—we go above and beyond because we care.

We cannot recommend Auntie No Pets enough! Tirza runs an amazing service, and our pet sitters Kai and Tiernan were absolute stars. They took care of our 7 cats for more than two weeks, and they were reliable, on time for every visit, and incredibly thorough.

They cleaned three huge litter boxes, refreshed four water bowls and food at each visit, and even swept and tidied the area around the boxes every time. The best part was the clear, consistent communication—after every visit we received a text with updates and a photo of each cat, which meant the world to us while we were away.

They even offered to completely replace all the litter with fresh litter before we returned home. Talk about going above and beyond! The peace of mind knowing our cats were so well cared for was truly priceless.

We will absolutely use Auntie No Pets again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, top-quality pet sitters. 🐾 💕

Cute Dog

We have been working with Auntie No Pets during the past year.  Jessica has been our primary pet sitter, and she is great!  Our dog loves her, and Tirza too!  Jessica is so wonderful with our girl, who is shy but coming out of her shell.  Jessica stays in our home, and she always leaves it so clean and tidy, better than when we left!  

 

We like working with Auntie No Pets because we're not dependent on a single person.  If something arises with the primary sitter, Tirza, or another member of her team, they will fill in the gap.  You can go away and relax knowing that your fur baby is in good hands and receiving excellent care.

Cat Under Blanket

We’ve used Tirza and her crew for a few years now and trust them fully with our animals. It’s always hard leaving them, but we never worry because we know that Tirza and her family love and care for them like they're her own.

Our house is basically a rowdy chaos crew of animals, and Tirza, Easton, and Sean handle it like the pros they are. The animals get SO excited when they show up and honestly, I think we miss them more than they miss us.

We’re just really grateful to have found pet sitters we trust completely. Absolute gems.

Had Tirza house and pet sit for two weeks while we were on a road trip. Responsive to text messages and sends lots of pictures and videos. Our Yorkie loved having Tirza and Sean in the house and you could tell that these are pet people. The dog even had 3 baths while we were gone. When we got home, the house was clean and tidy and I honestly think that our dog was upset that they were leaving.

Highly recommend, but get on her list early as she appears to be in high demand.

Pros: responds to texts, friendly, pet person, not afraid to ask questions

Cons: none really

Dog with Toy

Tirza was awesome! She communicated daily and allowed us to have a worry free vacation. My elder dogs adapted to her instantly. I have 1 dog with a few ailments and she was able to take great care of her. Upon coming home I think she was actually moving better than before we left. thanks again Tirza!
