“Autumn eased my mind while I was at work by watching my puppy and attending to her quite often. She did what I asked and my pup was able to have a friend to hangout with all day.”
“I hired Natalie for seven visits to attend to my cat while I was gone for a long weekend. She was on time for each visits and sent me photographs of my cat Grey Cloud when she completed a half hour with him. He was fed and his litter box scooped as I instructed. This was my first time hiring a pet sitter and it was well worth it.”
“Paulina is fantastic!!! She watched our chickens who are high maintenance gals and she took amazing care of them! She was also able to help water our garden which is so much appreciated. She also cared with our cat Frida who very much enjoyed her company! Thanks Paulina!”
“Camille was very sweet and caring to my cat! She really cared about the specific routine we have and sticking to the instructions and tips I left. She left detailed notes through the app and lots of adorable pictures. It was good to know my cat was comfortable with her and enjoyed having someone there to care for her while I was gone.”
“Azure is absolutely amazing. Our kitties love her, and we feel safe with her caring for them while we are gone. Her updates, pictures, and all recommendations are excellent. We plan to hire her always in the future.”
“Emily is a wonderful pet sitter! I’m so relieved to know I have someone to watch my cat when I’m out of town, and my standards are very high! Great communication, followed my directions to a T, and kept things tidy even though I didn’t ask. She got some great pictures of my normally shy kitty, too. I recommend Emily for cat sitting.”
“Thank you so so much! My doggies were very pleased with their visit, as well as I! Kat responded to me promptly & helped me out in a difficult situation when I was out of town & my dogs needed to get outside for a potty & have a lil bit of fun with a friend. Absolutely fantastic & if I’m ever in need of a drop-in while in the BHAM area again, I’ll definitely be going with Kat!”
“Tricia should get 6/5 stars. Aside from cat-care, Tricia is just a lovely person. Very attentive and quickly built trust with our cat to administer meds smoothly. Treated our cat like one of their own and always left detailed notes after each visit. We will 100% ask Tricia to watch our little guy in the future.”
“Katherine was great! She went above and beyond keeping my kitties comfortable while I was away. Very punctual, detail-oriented, and the level of communication was excellent.”
“It’s been great having Maddy come by to give my two girls a pee-break, treats and some attention in the middle of my workday. She send great pictures and rundowns of her visit. I will definitely be booking her again :)”
“Flannery was easy to communicate with, reliable, and made the process of checking in on my cat while I was away for the weekend a breeze! I appreciated her detailed notes of her drop ins and the photos she included as well. Although the drop in visits were only 30mins, she was able to feed him, clean his litterbox, play with him and pet him during that time. It was so great knowing my cat was in good hands and would be safe, fed, kept busy and in a clean space while I was away. Would definitely recommend Flannery!”
“Aiden was great with my cat! He was communicative and sent detailed report cards with several photos for each visit. He was patient with my cat getting over her shyness and she seemed to really warm up to him.”
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: 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.
“Anna has taken care of our cats and dog several times now, and is always kind, responsive, and thorough. I can confidently leave my home knowing she is giving our animals the attention and care they need and deserve. Thank you so much!”
“Marielle took such good care of our dog while we were out of town. He always looked so happy in the pictures. He is a little extra crazy being a 1yr old 80 pound puppy. So we are just grateful she could handle that crazy for us. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: As someone who has lived with dogs throughout my entire life, I understand what it takes to be a caring, responsible and loving pet owner. I believe that all dog owners should be capable of being patient, playful and responsible to ensure the best possible care for their furry friend. Other than taking care of my own dogs, from puppies to seniors, I have experience with working for other family members and neighbors. This experience ranges from hourly visits, walks, and overnights. I am always excited to learn from new clients and their furry friends about the wonderful world of pet sitting! I am currently in between jobs, so I have plenty of time to look after your pets! Whether you need care in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I will be available. This accounts for weekdays and weekends. When working in a client's home, I always try to be respectful of their established practices/rules for their pets. Responsible entry and exit from homes and similar tasks is important as well. Being on time is something that I find to be extremely necessary for pet sitting, whether it be for potty breaks, walks, or feeding visits. I want to make sure each new pet is comfortable with me, so being affectionate and playful is something that I have always valued as a pet sitter and owner.
“Jean did a wonderful job with our cats! She was always on time, great at communication and photographs. The cats seemed happy and steady with her visits. I would highly recommend Jean for any pet care needs.”
