Dog Walking in Esther Short, Vancouver, WA

“Katie was kind enough to sub for my regular walker today. Very friendly, very personable and the key part my dog took to her right away on the meet and greet. I’ve learned he’s a great judge of character and couldn’t have been happier with the service. 10/10 and I’d definitely hire her again!”

“Emily was patient with my shy guy, Earl. I think it says something that he warmed up so much; it takes kind people to win him over. Emily was timely and communicative. I recommend wholeheartedly!”

About: I treat pets with utmost love and respect. With extensive experience in various settings, including shelters and various high-stress environments, I'm fluent in canine and feline body language. I can handle shy and fearful dogs and cats, rowdy/jumpy/mouthy dogs, and any animals that just need a little work on their manners. I can administer oral, topical, and injectable medications for dogs and cats. I will send regular photos! I prioritize a safe and enriching environment for your companions. My commitment extends to treating each pet as if they were my own, employing positive reinforcement training methods without any use of physical force. Drawing from extensive experience, I can care for both lively puppies and wise senior dogs. Whether it's the boundless energy of a pup or the gentle attention required by a senior companion, rest assured your furry friend will receive personalized care that caters to their unique needs. Being a devoted volunteer at the Humane Society, I actively contribute to the health and well-being of animals through clinic assistance, including vaccines, treatments, and surgery preparation and recovery. Previously, I've also volunteered as a dog and cat matchmaker, a dog walker, and a kitten and puppy foster parent. Furthermore, my experience extends to small animals, including rabbits, hamsters, hedgehogs, gerbils, reptiles, fish, and more. Your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I look forward to forming a special bond with each furry friend in my care! I run a WFH business, ensuring open availability for your furry friends! I request at least 24 hours of notice prior to a booking. I can accommodate emergency bookings depending on the situation. I can follow any regular routine that your pet is used to; for example, frequent potty breaks, crating while away, set feeding times, and walks at their usual or an increased frequency. For the safety of your dog, I will not do dog park visits unless I regularly care for your dog and they demonstrate consistent recall with me.

“I'm thrilled to share my wonderful experience with my pet sitter, Laury. During her time caring for my cat, she went above and beyond to ensure my furry friend received exceptional treatment. Laury's dedication and genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction. From the moment she entered my home, it was evident that she prioritized the well-being and happiness of my cat. She paid close attention to my pet's unique needs, ensuring that all feeding, playtime, and grooming requirements were met with utmost care. What impressed me the most was Laury's ability to create a warm and comforting environment for my cat. She engaged in interactive play sessions, provided ample affection, and maintained a consistent routine that kept my pet at ease during my absence. I could see that my cat genuinely enjoyed spending time with Laury, as evidenced by their playful interactions and content demeanor. Moreover, Laury's professionalism and reliability were commendable. She communicated promptly and provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which greatly reassured me of my cat's well-being. I felt confident and at ease knowing that my pet was in such capable and compassionate hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Laury as a pet sitter. Her exceptional care, genuine love for animals, and dedication to ensuring their comfort and happiness make her an outstanding choice. My cat and I are immensely grateful for her exceptional service, and I would not hesitate to entrust my pet's care to her in the future. Thank you, Laury, for treating my cat with such amazing care and providing a truly exceptional pet sitting experience.”

“Loved your attitude and how you handled Gus.”

“Marla is simply great with pets of all sorts. I can't count the times I've seen reluctant cats and dogs take to greeting Marla -- it's a bit uncanny. She's a great caregiver and has raised several pets of her own. On the human side, she's a friendly, solid communicator. You couldn't go wrong having Marla care for your pet.”

“Finn had a great time with Emily! He came back a happy boy. Emily is a great communicator and I feel secure leaving Finn with her (even if he’s a bit much sometimes lol).”

“Mikaela has lived with dogs and cats her whole life. She has experience with all ages of animals. Mikaela has helped train dogs and is a very attentive care giver. Mikaela understands that a pets abilities and mobility change with age and she can easily adapt to the needs of any pet. Mikaela really enjoys spending time with dogs and would be a fantastic choice for your beloved pet.”

“Brynn was very grateful to have Acoya stop by and give him a potty break and some loving!! She sent a photo and a very accurate description of Brynn being his stubborn self that gave us a good laugh!”

“Mike has checked on our pets and our house dozens of times when we have been out of town, and is our first choice as a pet/house sitter when we travel. Our cats tend to need a lot of attention and can get anxious when we are out of town, but when we come home from trips now they are perfectly happy and calm because of the care they receive from Mike. He is also even able to give medication, which is not always an easy feat when it comes to cats! I highly recommend his services.”

“Brian was able to accommodate my request on short notice, was very communicative before/during/after the walk, and sent pictures/a video, all of which I greatly appreciated. Will definitely book with him again!”

“Traneese is very responsible and reliable. She is a pet lover and my pets LOVE her! I have two rescue chihuaha who are scared of the world, but they have opened up to Traneese and feel very loved and comfortable with her. She is great with animals!”

“I recently had to go on a last minute business trip and my usual pet sitters weren’t available. I was scared of leaving my boy with a stranger but Amy alleviated those concerns. I had a doggy camera so I could see when she showed up and how long she spent. Needless to say, Amy genuinely loves animals and I’ll be using her again for future care.”
