“Tonya did a great job taking care of all my fur and feather babies! I really appreciate how she kept my house clean as well. I would definitely recommend her and ask her to come again!”

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!”

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.

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!

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!
“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: I work for myself so my schedule is quite flexible - meaning your pets will have someone with them for at least 18 hours a day and can do things (walks etc) on their already-known schedule. 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.
“Baylee was a wonderful sitter for our dog Zima! She has great communication and kept us updated while we were away, including sending us lots of pictures which made us feel so at ease! We’re kind of those crazy pet parents whose dog is our whole world and we could not have asked for a better person to watch Zima. Baylee even continued our routine of doing a doggy advent calendar with Zima each morning and sent pictures which were the highlight of each day!”

“Dorian is a wonderful in home sitter. She took such great care of our dog and two cats for 10 days. We were so surprised when we got home and all the blankets were folded on the couch. Our bed sheets and towels were washed. She changed the sheets on our bed and folded the towels. Our dogs food regiment is complicated and she handled it, no problem. She took our little dog for walks, often and gave the kitties a lot of love. Dorian is very trustworthy and follows instructions left for her. We will definitely hire her again to take care of our pets.”
“Nellie is amazing! She kept us updated and sent us photos so we knew our corgi, Mango, was being well cared for. Mango was so comfortable with Nellie from the start and was so excited to see her. We will definitely be using Nellie again!”


About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs ranging from new born up to senior . I’m willing to walk , run or even just hang around and slowly get some outdoor activities in for an older dog. I’m currently unemployed and looking for side work to do and keep me busy in the meantime. I figured why not pet sit/walk since I have a lot of experience with them already .! I have a fenced yard and a friendly Chiweenie to keep your pet company if needed . I can pet sit / visit or kennel train if needed . If you have questions or certain ways you like your pet to be taken care of, don’t hesitate to bring it up .!
About: Before coming back to the vet field I used to work as a pet nanny solely to a family with 7 dogs and 3 cats at one time while also managing that households chores and responsibilities- including cleaning and gardening. I currently work 3 days a week from 7am-6pm Mon,Tues,Fri, and have large availability around that. I can do stop ins and spend the night on work days, and spend all day at your place when discussed ahead of time. I'm happy to do drop in visits multiple times a day to care for your critters and medicate them if needed, or just visit once to make sure all is well. I can feed, clean litter boxes, go for potty walks and transport pets to appointments. I offer only going to your house to care for your pets as my zoo at home does not appreciate any more friends. I will use your equipment, food and medications to care for your pets, but can also bring my own if needed and discussed in advance.
“Holly was wonderful - communicative, caring and reliable. She gave great updates and I returned home to a happy puppy and a clean house. Very much appreciate being able to trust Holly with my dog and my home.”

“Donna is amazing!! She took excellent care of our two dogs and cat while we were on vacation for a week. She took great care of our house, walked the dogs and took them to park for exercise. This was our first trip without the dogs and felt very reassured knowing they were in good hands. I would highly recommend Donna and plan on requesting her in the future.”
About: I’ve always been around animals and I genuinely enjoy taking care of them. I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends for years, and it’s something I love doing. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, ferrets and small animals. I can walk, feed, play with them, or just hang out depending on what they need. I pay attention to each animal and their routine because every pet is different. Some are full of energy, some just want company, and I’m good with both. I know it takes trust to leave your pet with someone, and I take that seriously. I’ll make sure they’re safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I have a flexible schedule and I’m available in the mornings and late afternoons/evenings, as well as overnight stays on Friday and Saturday nights. I’m always open to working with you to figure out what your pet needs and finding times that work best so they’re taken care of and comfortable. When I’m with pets, I make sure they’re fed, have water, get their walks and bathroom breaks, and aren’t just left alone all day. I try to keep them on a good routine so things feel normal for them while you’re gone, and I pay attention to each pets personality and needs so I can make sure I give them the proper care. On walks, I keep them leashed and close to me, and I stay aware of what’s around us so things stay safe and don’t get overwhelming. I also watch how they’re acting and make sure to adjust as needed. I also spend time with them playing, hanging out, or just keeping them company so they’re not bored or stressed out while your away.
“Bridgette far surpassed my expectations for house & pet sitting. I'm real fussy about this sort of thing and I will tell you that she is the best we've experienced. Prompt, communicative, caring, and meticulous - Bridgette is not only a professional at home & pet sitting but also, just a fine person. Snatch her up to care for your home & pets if she's available. She's so good that we'll work around her availability for subsequent requirements if able. Thanks Bridgette.”

“Absolutely amazing house sitters! I can’t sing their praises enough! They were so kind and I knew the house and our 3 little pups would be in great hands! They send daily pictures and checked in to make sure we knew everything was ok, they even left the house in a better state than when we left. The pups were happy and relaxed when we returned and that has never happened! I hope we will be lucky enough for them to be available the next time we are out of town!”

“Ali dogsat our two dachshunds, Odie and Bella, for three nights in our home while my husband and I were out of town. From the moment we had our “meet and greet” we felt at ease with her. She kept in touch with photos and videos and they were very happy and much better off staying in their home instead of a long road trip with us. I will definitely be booking Ali again and highly recommend her!”


About: I am someone who truly believes that pets are an important part of the family. I have cared for dogs and cats with different personalities, routines and needs over the years and have a background in health care. I am confident I can take excellent care of your pets and give them the fulfillment they need while you are away! I am available daily with no set schedule. I have made the difficult decision to leave the nursing profession after 20 years to do something that brings me joy. I will respect your home and the pet’s environment as if it were my own. I am comfortable being in any type of environment and will follow whatever schedule and routine you need me to in order to care for your baby the best way possible.
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.
