“Kim was amazing with my dogs and house. She kept us informed with photo's every day which is hugely appreciated! She stayed an extra day for us when I accidently booked my original stay incorrectly. Our house was clean when we got home and our pups were happy which is the main thing! We truly appreciated Kim and already have her booked for our next trip!”
“Tonya was wonderful with my three dogs and would highly recommend her for pet and housesitting. She’s a great communicator and kept me up-to-date with frequent messages and pictures. How my three dogs are doing. Appreciate her leaving the house, clean and took care of extra items as needed.”

About: I have been around dogs of all sizes as well as livestock my entire life. I am an aspiring veterinarian. I am completely comfortable with any accommodations your pet may need such as medications, assistance, etc. In addition, I am dog and cat CPR certified. I look forward to helping you with your pet needs! I am currently a college student at WSU pursuing a degree in biology. While home on breaks I work part time at a restaurant. I am very flexible on times, please reach out and we can discuss any further scheduling needs. I think it’s very important to keep the animals’ routine as normal as possible. I’m very hands on and interactive with pets throughout the day to make sure they feel just as loved!
“It was the first time we had to leave our 13 y.o. pampered pooch with health problems all by herself! I felt so comfortable letting Megan help us out. Fifi was well cared for and ready to tell us all about it when we got home. Thank you, Megan!”

“Phenomenal! Best dog sitter we've had. Our pup is 18 and needs some tender loving care with full-time attention. Bridgette understood exactly what we we wanted. Took great notes. Reiterated what we asked so she had clarity. While we were gone she checked in regularly and shared pics of our pup. The small details, like cleaning the main area, washing sheets and remaking bed, and the note were top-notch.”

“Miss Holly was amazing with our animals, they were very well taken care of. Everything was exactly as we left it upon our return. I would definitely recommend her and would use her again if the need arises.”

“Great communication and easy to work through details of the stay. Ron is a super kind person who will take great care of your pets! Don’t hesitate to book him to hang out with your pups!”

About: Taking care of Dogs since I was just a child I grew up with 5 dogs at a time from the large to small dogs. Expert in giving attention and proper care for all of your dogs needs. I will easily make sure your pup is walked multiple times a day and given two meals. Overnight stays will be a breeze at my home as well given it’s a K-9 friendly home with my social and friendly pups to help! Please reach out if you need anything for your pup and live in the Marysville/Arlington, Washington Area! Currently working part time my schedule is open for most week/weekend days. Morning appointments and afternoon drop ins would be very easy and acceptable! Mid-day walks are manageable as well if given in advance. If the owner wishes for dog carer to be with the dog at all times that can be done as well. Small back yard area with a dog friendly house! Area to walk the dogs is provided as well and can be easily accessed if needed. I have two dogs one friendly small dachshund named Howie and one large sweet black lab named Max! They’re easy friend makers and love meeting new doggies!
“Baylee is the kindest and most thoughtful sitter. We were worried leaving our pups for the first time with a sitter, and she truly went above and beyond to care for our pups and keep us informed. I will be choosing Baylee again and again, as long as she’s able/available. Highly recommend 🥰”

“Nellie is the absolute best! She always kept us updated on our pup (Mango) status and made her feel so special and even got her to go on walks beyond her comfort zone! And even though we were only gone 1 week, when we got home Mango was now missing Nellie! Nellie was like having one of our family watch our dog and we will definitely use her again whenever Mango needs a sitter.”

About: Growing up my family had dogs for 15 years. Since moving out of state, I have loved my friends' and clients' animals as if they were my own pets - especially since I don't have the space to have my own pets currently. I've done overnight stays for clients with animals since 2021. Because I work from home those fur babies received around-the-clock care and attention. I have also worked with clients who just needed someone to drop-in for walks, check-ins, and feeding. I have experience with pets who needed a little extra care, including administering topical and oral medicines and figuring out stomach issues. If you're looking for a pet sitter who is flexible, available to be around most of the day, and has tons of pet love to give, you've found the right person. I work from home and make my own schedule, which allows me to work with clients and their pets' needs. I enjoy traveling which is why I do not have any pets of my own, but I love animals and take any opportunity to connect with people's pets. I currently live in a house with a dog and two cats, so I get to enjoy their company when I'm around. I cannot bring animals to the house I currently live in, but I am happy to care for your animals in the comfort of their own home. I notice that animals tend to be quite anxious for a night or two after their owner leaves, so I have a very gentle approach and give them space if needed. I enjoy sending updates and pictures to my clients (if they like to get updates) and I work with my clients to figure out how to make their animals as comfy as they can be with a new person around.
“From Anika's first stroking of my cat's fur during our meet and greet, I could see that he felt comfortable with her. It was comforting to know that he would let her provide the love and cuddles we wouldn't be home to give him. Thank you, Anika for taking good care of our senior cat!”

About: I’m not just a sitter; I’m a professional servant to your pets! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, so I’m comfortable with everything from energetic dog packs to shy kitties. I pride myself on being the person who stays to play, cuddle, and dote on them long after the food bowl has been filled and emptied again. Whether it's a comforting overnight stay, a quick check-in, or a walk around the block, I treat every client just as I do my own. Your fur babies become my family when you're gone. I work from home several days a week, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets the attention they deserve! My schedule is usually wide open Thursday through Sunday for house-sitting, and I love taking extended breaks during the work week for afternoon walks or check-ins. My ability to flexible is key, so ask for what you need, and I'll always do my best to make it work. I treat your home as a sanctuary. I am incredibly respectful of personal space, tidy, and hygienic. My goal is for you to come home to a house that looks exactly how you left it (or better!), with the only evidence of my stay being happy, relaxed pets.
“We are so happy to have found Dorian to help watch our dogs (two mini poodles) and home while away. She is incredibly caring and communicative. The dogs took to her from the start, and we came home to a house that was cleaner than we left. We look forward to having Dorian back again!”

“We had never left our pets before and Donna took great care of them, providing us with daily updates and pictures, which made us feel comfortable being gone. We will definitely use Rover again as long as Donna is available!”

“Samara was the perfect fit for my dog who has separation anxiety. Her calm, confident demeanor kept Buster relaxed and happy for the entire time we we gone. Samara was very flexible and asked great questions. I will not hesitate for a second to book her again!”

Megan stayed at our house and watched our dog and two cats for 16 days. She did an amazing job! not only were our fur babies well taken care of and loved but she also did a wonderful job of watching over the house, bringing in mail and packages and watering plants. I would highly recommend Megan!
