“So grateful for Natalie! She got our guy out for a long afternoon walk. Mac was super comfortable with her and she was very communicative and prompt.”


“Kat was such a life saver! I’ve been sick and my mom sprained her ankle so my dog was in need of a good long walk. Kat responded immediately to help, and my dog came back nice and tired from her hour long walk. My dog was in great hands with Kat - Highly recommend!”


“Lizz saved the day for us! We had a family emergency come up and had to leave town last minute. Lizz was able to cover all the walks in our absence. She gave us great feedback and won over our shy pup. Highly recommend.”


“Jean was so prompt with responding to my walk request! She was so professional and just an all-round bubbly person. Will definitely be reaching out to her again with help in caring for our pup!”


About: I have experience in vet med, so I will be able to keep a detail-oriented eye on your pet's health and wellbeing. If it comes to it, I can take your beloved companion to the vet clinic while you're out of town and see to any at-home care they need, no problem. I currently make my income entirely through app-based freelance work, making it easy to interweave schedules. I can check in on your pet, go out and work for 2-3 hours, then come back again. ADHD tendencies serve me well in this situation-- I can focus on a show, a book, or working on my laptop, while still being peripherally aware of what your pet is doing, and taking time to check in and give lots of scritches and belly-rubs. I live in a shared housing situation, so I have plenty of experience leaving an environment that is not my own exactly as I found it.

About: I have cared for cats/dogs/small animals for 15+ years. Love to give them attention and exercise and make them comfortable while giving you peace of mind while you are away. My availability is wide currently as I work part-time and can accomodate varying needs. Comfortable staying in your home to give your pets care and attention. Unable to care for pet in my home currently, but will gladly care for them in your home. We will discuss your pet(s) needs in advance and ensure they get the care they deserve.

“Maddy has been an amazing addition to my busy routine! Highly recommend her. My dog doesn't usually like or trust people off of her first meeting, but she instantly fell in love with Maddy.”


About: Hey there! My name is Giselle, I'm a psychology student at Western, but a bellinghamster born and raised. I have grown up with various pets with my favorites being dogs and cats of course. (Though I do have an awesome fishtank!) I've got a long history of dogsitting, housesitting, and babysitting around town! When it comes to pet sitting my number one for the animal is keeping anxiety low and quality time outdoors high. Love to go hiking on galbraith and other trails give that extra mile for the pups! I believe when it comes to pet care you gotta throw all your energy to them (no half-assing it) I care to give your pups the invigorating, joyful, and healthy exercise they deserve! Happy to stay the night and watch over packages, mail, and other various things! ☺️🐾🤘🐕 I've got great availability as a college student living at home, my schedule varies a little depending on the quarter but usually I only have classes in the middle of the day and work short dinner shifts at the Willows retirement home in town as a waitress This makes me very accessible for walks in morning/evening and a little potty break during the day. I am happy to stay over on a pull out couch and provide overnight support for your pet or just go back and forth from my home. Whatever makes you most comfortable! I have been doing housesitting, babysitting, and dogsitting for around five years and am responsible in always locking up the house and keeping things tidy. My saftey limits include: I am not comfortable with other people staying the night in the home whilst I am there as privacy and safety is important to me.

About: I’ve lived in households with dogs my whole life. My two dogs, Molly, who passed away a couple of years ago, and Marley, who is still alive, are elderly, and were both on prescription meds that needed to be given twice a day. Marley is still on medication, and has needed medication since she was young, so I’m now accustomed to a routine surrounding administering meds, picking up prescriptions, and being prepared for a medical emergency. I have had numerous house/pet-sitting jobs throughout my life where I’ve stayed overnight to make sure the pets aren’t lonely. I've done a lot of bathing and grooming, down to as small as an 8lb kitty and up to as big as an 120lb English Mastiff. I work 10-15 hours a week, and I am taking a summer class for an hour every weekday, but I have so much free time in between those chunks that I am able to go to wherever I am pet-sitting at to look after the pet. Generally speaking, the most amount of time that I will not be available is 5 hours, and that's if I am booked for a day I work. My work schedule is not consistent, so one week I could work Tues-Thurs and the next week I could work Sat-Mon. I make sure to keep pets entertained and fed. I make sure to take them out frequently to get fresh air and to make sure they go potty. If I take them outside and I don't know their outdoor habits yet, like if they take off or just lay in the sun, I make sure to go out with them to watch them. I keep my floors and lower sitting furniture clear of things they could easily get their hands on like food or remotes, especially if they have a history of destroying items around the house. If I take a dog into my home, I do not have a yard, but there is a park just a minute away from me that is perfect for dogs.

ChloeAnn M.
“Chloe has watched our elderly English mastiff and chocolate lab a few times for us. Both dogs absolutely love her. The lab loves to go on long walks and to play fetch with her. While the mastiff just likes to sit with her and be petted/loved. Chloe is sensitive to all the needs of our animals, no matter what they may be. I'd recommend her services to anyone with pets who needs loving care.”
