“Stephanie was on time for daisies three times a day visits and sent plenty of pictures with notes while I was away. She even walked Daisy longer than I requested :). I would definitely use Stephanie again if I ever need someone.!”

“Our dog took an immediate liking to Lara. It was the first time in 12 years we left him overnight. Lara kept us updated with pictures and comments. Made us feel at ease so we could enjoy our mini vacation. Got back to a happy dog and all is well.”

About: Hi I’m Kenzie! I’m fully trained and capable of ensuring each dog gets the attention, exercise, care and love they need. I love all animals and take pride in providing safe and reliable care! I’ve grown up in a home with more than 3 dogs at a time so caring for multiple pets is second nature to me. I’m currently home from the summer and have a very open schedule where I can ensure potty breaks, drops ins, and walks every 2-3 hours I prioritize pet safety! I’m experienced with crate training, secure leash walking, special care, and overall making sure your pet is safe and happy.

I had a dog that recently passed away at 16 years old, the environment is very pet friendly.

About: Hi! My name is Zoey, and I am a 21-year-old looking for opportunities to make sure your dog gets what they need while you are away! I've taken care of dogs for many years, but have taken more official paid positions in the last 4. Recently, I have worked to board dogs for families around my college town for periods of up to 6 hours to allow these families to go out for dinners, to the movies, and more without the need to worry about their dogs at home. I have walked dogs for local families regularly, helped take care of special needs dogs on check-ins (such as those with neurogenic bladder), and have dropped by houses to feed, play, and give love and affection to their dogs. When I was 12 years old, my sister and I took it upon ourselves to train our neighbor's golden retriever, Sandy Cheeks, to heel so that we could take her on walks and she would be easier to handle. We successfully managed to teach her, not just how to heel, but also how to come when called, shake, and roll over (quite a feat since many goldens don't love to learn how to roll over). Since then, I have loved learning how to handle dogs of all types, working with slightly reactive dogs, to energetic dogs that don't know their own strength. I am a dog enthusiast! All my life, I have loved dogs so much, but my parents were allergic and refused to get a pet. Finally, in my senior year of high school, my parents got a medium-sized golden doodle and surprised my sister and me. I cried. I can not express the level of joy I experience around dogs. Many of my friends could attest to the connection I have with dogs when I meet them. They are shocked by how much their dogs love me right away. What they don’t know is that I have carefully researched ways to approach dogs and read their body language to determine how they would like to be interacted with. I am a researcher at heart. I am an undergrad in college who has worked on multiple graduate-level research projects in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, biology, and sports studies. When I fell in love with animals, I made it a mission to know how to handle them and treat them with the care they deserve. Where to pet the dog, how to walk up to a dog, what sort of eye contact to make with the dog; these are all examples of how I have learned to pay attention to dogs and respect their boundaries in order to create deep bonds. I am my dog's safe place; she will come and sit between my legs when overwhelmed because she trusts me to protect her and not to treat her the way she needs to be treated at that moment. I would bring this level of care, passion, and enthusiasm to every workday and hope to strengthen the care and play experience of all dogs. I have worked with dogs of many breeds and many ages with many different needs. I have experience with nervous dogs, hyperactive dogs, reactive dogs, super intelligent dogs, stubborn dogs, and hypoallergenic dogs. I am an athlete, and my athletic and strength training have allowed me to handle strong dogs on lead, heavy dogs, and aggressive dogs that pull or suddenly jerk. My athleticism is particularly handy with highly energetic breeds. My own dog's favorite hobby is getting chased around by me or chasing after me. I have also been known to take dogs on runs with me or hikes. If your dog has a particular routine that involves going for a morning run, I would be the perfect candidate to keep that habit up while you're away! I have held many part-time jobs, and I am consistent and reliable. I am a great candidate to take care of your dog in any way. Consider me for all your pet care needs! I am an early riser! If you'd like a walk for your pet, morning, noon, and afternoon walks are the best! I like to schedule my pet care throughout my day, such as in the morning, at noon, and in the afternoon. It depends on what pet care you need from me, but for a home drop-in, I prefer to have time to take your pup out, feed them if necessary, get them used to my presence, calmed down, and give them a little treat before I take off. I am free for a large majority of the time. I work several part-time jobs at the moment, so scheduling around shorter shifts is no problem for me. I am extremely responsible with other people's properties. I am a detail-oriented person and not one to make mistakes or leave a mess when in another person's space. I follow the philosophy: leave every place better than you entered. In this case, I would leave your home better by giving your dogs care. When your pet is with me, their safety and emotional state are my number one priority. If I need to transport your pet anywhere, I am an excellent driver and have never once been ticketed or gotten into an accident. For walks, I have experience with animal safety and protection from other pets and wild animals. With small dogs, you never have to worry about a potential coyote attack or a larger breed biting the dog. I take dog safety very seriously and prepare for every walk with proper equipment, extra food for the dog, extra poop bags, and water. I will always switch to walking a dog or multiple dogs on the inside of me when passing other animals. I am also experienced using treats to maintain a dog's attention. I will never force your dog into any situation that their body language tells me they are not okay with. I am detail-oriented and good at shutting down potentially dangerous situations before they occur.

“So nice to have Gray look in on my Sadie when I have a long day away from home. She loves the visit and I love the peace of mind. Thank you.”

About: Growing up, I was constantly surrounded by animals because of my parents being vets. Currently, I have six dogs, a rabbit, and a cat! I have helped take care of, raise, and train two puppy litters. Being around all kinds of animals is a joy and pets health and safety is my biggest priority. I am a full time student, however I have an extremely flexible schedule which allows me to spend as much time as need be with pets. I also am not employed, so your pets would be my first priority. I am extremely adaptable to the needs of your pets, whether it be specific dietary needs or sleeping habits, I can accommodate whatever your pets (and you!) need to feel 100% safe. Normally, I take care of mail and garbage when I am staying at a house, unless asked otherwise.

“Katey is great. She is communicative, punctual and really good with my dog. She is organized and responsible. She has walked my dog for 60m and always shares photos.”

“My German Shepard absolutely loves Katja. Katja is just amazing with him. He waits patiently at the door for her to show up to take him on walks every single time. It’s super adorable! Katja is so kind, fun and responsible. We love her and feel so lucky to have found her.”

About: I have six years of experience taking care of pets. I took care of two dogs and I am currently taking care of one cat. I am a responsible and reliable pet owner. I am available every day during the week and weekend during the summer (May 25-August 15). While I am in college, I am available to work after classes end on Friday. I am also available on the weekends. I make sure my cat's litter box is clean every night, I change her water often, I feed her wet food for lunch every day, I clip her nails, and I give her a bath once in a while.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 10 years, including my own dog, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Friends and family regularly rely on me for boarding, walks, and overnight care. I’m attentive, patient, and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also familiar with feeding routines, basic training, and handling different energy levels. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where your pet will be treated like part of the family. I have experience caring for dogs in a home setting and always prioritize supervision, routine, and comfort. I can accommodate crate training if needed and will follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible. I also provide regular updates so you feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

About: I have been surrounded by cats and dogs for my entire life! Growing up, I was the go-to pet sitter in my neighborhood and since then, I've taken care of my neighbors, friends, and families' pets. I grew up with cats, and currently have teenage German Shepherd mix puppy named Lucas. I typically work from home Weds and Fri and am available at all times for your dog those days and on the weekends. The other days, I go into the office for a few hours and can be flexible as needed. I typically take my dog on several walks throughout the day, so your dog would be able to join us. When at home, your dog would be able to enjoy my fully-fenced yard. My husband and I live in a house in Seattle with a big and fully-fenced yard. I have a neutered teenage German shepherd mix who is incredibly social and loves all dogs. It is important that your dog is not aggressive and has been properly socialized with other dogs.

About: Hello :) Olivier & Jess have been taking care of a variety of pets & homes for over 20 years. They are very experienced in feeding/plant care, walks, play time, administering oral medication, and the all important cuddles. They do not smoke and lead a fairly quiet life. Working from home has given them the incredible opportunity to spend even more time with the pets, although not sure if the fishies notice :) House Sitting: For pets & house plants The home will be left as they found it. If you are new to stay-overs, they can send over a check list of sorts to fill out & send back. As they do love snapping photos of the little (or not so little) fur babies, at your request, will send updates &/or pictures while you are away as they would like to make this time away as easy & comfortable for you as possible. We am very active & love to keep pets moving if desired. Sometimes, they like to take them for car rides or day trips, if given the ok from you ;) They will care for your little ones as if they were their own family member! Things to let them know: -Is your animal potty trained -Does your pet sleep on the bed, their bed, or in a crate -On or off leash preference -Are car rides or day trips ok -How long pets can be left alone -Any allergies -If any items in fridge or pantry that are off limits -May a non-smoking guest visit If you'd like grooming or spa treatments while your pup is on stay-cation, please give them the details so a time can be arranged. *Note: please have an account set up prior to visit. Olivier & Jess look forward to taking care of your precious family member soon :) Jess’s sister & she had been pet sitting for years together. They normally had a combined profile. As time become more flexible and Olivier & Jess traveled more often they created a separate profile, but if you'd like to see more references please ask and a link can be sent to you to view. We currently work from home & will have time to give the little ones all the care & attention they need. Olivier & Jess may go out for an appointment or to dine out, but they will always make sure that the home is locked up and the pets are taken care of. When staying at client's home they am extremely respectful, clean, & responsible. It is asked that notes be given if the pet is not aloud somewhere inside or outside of the home. As well, please let them know if shoes are to be removed & paw cleaning is needed before entering. Olivier & Jess also care for any plants you may have so do let them know if any watering needs to be done :) Most work is done from home which ensures plenty of time for the playing and giving of love to the pets, as well, if plant care is needed. Cleanliness of the homes and providing safety/comfort to the pets are of utmost importance. Whether inside the home or outside this is of top priority.
