“My dogs loves Murron! She has walked my giant and mini schnauzer a couple of times throughout the week and I will continue to rebook her service. Murron will ACTUALLY walk your dog for at least 30 minutes sometimes more! She doesn’t check in with the walk until she is actually outside with my dogs. I have experienced so many sitters checking in when they are still in their car or sitting in their car for a few minutes to end the walk. Murron is honest and dependable. She also treats and talks to my dogs very sweetly.”

About: 【Pet Care Experience】 I care for every animal as if they were my own and always strive to make them feel safe, seen, and loved. I was actively involved in an animal protection society for 3 years, where I helped rescue and foster sick or abused cats and dogs. In August 2022, my friends and I discovered 42 abandoned breeding cats in a closed pet store in Guangzhou—we organized their rescue and successfully found homes for them. I personally fostered and rehomed 5 cats and 2 dogs. Currently, I volunteer at a local shelter 1–3 shifts a week, helping with dog walking, kennel cleaning, and matching pets with potential adopters. My experiences have allowed me to work closely with animals of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. ———————————————— 【Schedule】 Available for drop-in visits: 5:30 AM – 9:30PM Before booking, we’ll set up a meet & greet so I can better understand your pets and ensure a smooth handoff. ———————————————— 【Safety, Trust & Environment 】 Meet and greet is always free! While I don’t offer pet sitting in my own home, I’m fully committed to meeting your pet’s needs in their familiar environment. Whether they require crate time, one-on-one companionship, hand feeding, or special care, I’m prepared to handle almost any situation with patience and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and notes, so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. ————————————————

About: I have a deep well of patience, understanding and affection for your pet. When I am interacting with a dog or cat, they recieve my sole and loving attention. I can't wait to meet yours! I am a retired teacher so I have a lot of management skills and am supremely responsible. I am a retired teacher so I have a ton of time. I am moving from managing teen agers to having loving interactions with pets. I am a single woman in my 50's with no pets of my own, so I am very available to care for your animals. Since I have been back in the USA after teaching overseas for years, I have taken care of and house sat for many people who were pleased with my services. I would love to get to know your animals and make them feel safe and secure while you are gone!

About: I've been a pet lover since I was a kid. I started with frogs, lizards and snakes, and graduated to cats and dogs. Until I was able to have dogs of my own, I spent over 10 years pet-sitting for friends and family, volunteering in animal shelters, and have even worked in 2 seperate doggy daycares. My MO is always long walks and lots of attention. I have 2 dogs of my own, a cumulative 17 years of pet raising experience. I have experience caring for sick pets and administering medication both orally and subcutaneously. I've had my pups since they were young and would consider them very well trained. If you're looking to work on certain behaviors, I can absolutely work on that during their stay. I have a fenced yard, a safe neighborhood for long walks, and for longer stays, expect your dog to enjoy a nice hike! I mostly work from home, so your dog(s) would never be alone and would have access to my fully fenced backyard whenever they want. During the week, I can do a long walk during my lunch break, and another after work. Weekends I tend to go hiking, so if your pup enjoys nature, they will for sure have a great time. My yard is fully fenced, and I have 2 friendly dogs. Safety is paramount, so dogs would be supervised while in the yard together. If your dog requires a crate, I have both a plastic and soft sided kennel for indoors.

She gave me updates & pictures after every walk which was awesome! I knew my dog was in great hands, I'd 10/10 recommended her to anyone & I will definitely be booking her in the future!!

About: With over a decade of experience as a trusted dog sitter, I have had the privilege of caring for countless furry companions, including those belonging to neighbors, friends, and coworkers. From goofy poodles (like my own) to energetic vizsla's, I've had the pleasure of nurturing a diverse range of breeds and personalities. My commitment to building strong relationships with both pets and their owners has led to countless referrals and repeat clients, solidifying my reputation as a go-to sitter in the area. As a super chill yet responsible sitter, I prioritize safety, communication to the owner, and fun-filled adventures for your beloved pet. With me, you can rest assured that your furry family member will receive top-notch care and plenty of love while you're away. I have a work schedule that gives me flexibility Thursdays and Fridays so I’m able to provide services for up to 4 days at a time :) I don’t have a pet friendly rental home so I prefer to care for pets at the clients home. This is what I’ve normally done for friends and family over the years. Plus pets seem more comfy in their own homes!

About: * summer is here and I still have a few openings left so book asap! Also... I know it seems too early and sunny to think about the holidays, but I usually book up months in advance so reach out, even if you don't have exact travel plans, but know you'll need pet care. I currently have Labor Day already booked, but mid November - New Years is pretty much open, except one booking in Dec. Check my updated calendar. My dog care experience spans all ages and breeds. I know puppies are more work, but I enjoy working with them on leash and obedience training to maintain good habits while their people are away. I have experience with giving daily medications and have cared for senior dogs, one who needed daily blood sugar testing and insulin shots. I live mobile between pet sitting gigs staying with friends and family from Marysville to Olympia. I started pet sitting for clients when I was house cleaning during the time I was in grad school. Because I was already working in their homes and had biweekly interactions with their pets, it was an easy transition to pet care. It was also during this time that a couple of professors inquired about pet sitting. I was a backup for one of thier regular sitters and the other, I'm still their regular sitter 7+ years later. I care for your pets the same way you would. They like to sleep in the bed with me? Cool. They need extra outside play time or walks to keep their anxiety low because you're gone? Done. I am very intuitive to reading their energy and do everything I can to meet their needs. Do you have some anxiety about being away and want pictures daily? Got it covered. My experience with house cleaning also menas I take care of the spaces I am staying so I am happy to water house plants and take care of gardens if needed.

About: I have a couple fur babies myself, I've had the joy of taking care of them for 9 years and hopefully many more to come! I've walked and taken care of many family dogs including my own. I also had consecutive visits for 9 months with two dogs on Rover. I'm happy to be there in times of need or any situation, just give me a text! I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups year round! I'm available everyday from 6am to 10pm!! I'll always follow your instructions exactly and if I have any questions or concerns I'll message you immediately. I'll make sure to give them plenty of exercise, love, and attention and I can easily crate them if needed.
