House Sitting Birchwood

“I know Laura as Rene and they did an amazing job watching our husky Luna while we were on a cruise! We expected to have cell and Wi-Fi reception for the duration of our trip but as it turns out we did not. That didn’t phase Rene as they still sent us photos and updates throughout and was able to keep Luna calm during 4th of July fireworks. Rene is a super sitter and we will definitely be using them again. Luna can’t wait for more either”

About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets since I can remember. My family has had three dogs, four chickens, and a cat in my life with different needs and routines. I love animals and am able to adapt my pet sitting style based on their needs. My pet sitting experience ranges from a miniature schnauzer puppy to an old farm dog retriever. I will be shadowing at a Physical Therapy clinic, as well as peer mentoring for summer courses, so I will most likely be gone during the day. I am a morning person, so I don’t mind having to wake up early to make sure the pets need to go to the bathroom or get fed. I can adapt my schedule to fit the needs of your pet pretty easily, I am able to juggle many commitments at once. I am very detail-oriented, so I can follow any routine or set of care instructions precisely. Pets can be like an extra family member, and I understand how it is important to find someone you can trust to take care of them like so. I approach every new pet I meet with love and care, and will make sure they are as comfortable as possible. If there are any special needs or time where a pet needs, I make sure to set alarms and reminders so I don’t forget. When I interact with a pet, I make sure to read their body language so I don’t overstep any boundaries they may have.

“Matt was fantastic! My dog can be a little challenging at times, but Matt was determined to make Baxter comfortable with his stay and to become good buddies. He was communicative, took Bax on great walks, left the house clean, and my dog seemed so happy when I arrived home! Will definitely be using Matt in the future and highly recommend him to anyone searching for a great dog sitter!!”

“Madison is fantastic! She took such good care of my pack! She made sure everyone ate, even though my Andy is scared to eat around people he isn’t very familiar with!! I will have Madison watch my boys every time we need a sitter!! Plus she left the house in immaculate shape - I couldn’t tell she was here!!”

“Kris and her family were so great with our pups. Came home to the house spotless and the dog’s so happy! We will be continuing to use Kris in the future.”

“Skylar took great care of our house and 3 dogs. She exhibited great communication and sent us pictures of all three pups! Would highly recommend and will use again!”

“Melia is amazing !!! my puppy and dog adore her and she goes the extra mile to make sure they are comfortable. Amazing and communication with me. Highly recommend Melia!”

“Katarina was an amazing sitter for Zuko. She was incredibly accommodating, gave me continuous updates on Zuko, and went above and beyond with her care. Zuko ended up having some tummy issues and Katarina immediately updated me on the problem and even picked up his prescription from the vet on my behalf. She took great care of the home and was always available to help where she could while I was away. I would 100% book her services again and I am incredibly grateful for her care. Thank you so much Katarina!”

“Sophia came over the day before for a meet n greet and I immediately knew it would be a great fit. She stayed the night with my elderly dog and pup and gave them lots of love. I felt confident they were well taken care of. She sent pictures throughout her stay (which I love)! I plan on using her for over night stays in the future!”

Ali D.

“Madison was very responsive and sent me photos and updates every day! Yuki (my cat) took an immediate liking to her and it was nice knowing he wasn’t alone while I was gone as he’s getting very old! It was also very nice to get home from a trip to a still clean apartment and not have to immediately scoop the litterbox. Would def book her services again and recommend them!”

Chloe D.

“Karla was amazing with Suds! I had way too many instructions, and he can sometimes be difficult so I was worried he would annoy a sitter. Karla listened to all my requests for updates and made Suds very comfortable. Would definitely work with her again!”

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, dogs that have complicated medical needs to dogs that are lax and can do everything on their own. I’ve always grown up with cats as well as a plethora of other animals including fish, lizards, birds, and frogs. I’ve housesat for multiple people over the years and have received much positive feedback! I’m working evening at a restaurant from 3pm to 8pm, so it doesn’t cause much shift in my capability to care for your furry friends! I am more than happy to stay at your place in caring for your pets or if easier/preferred, I can stop by intermittently throughout the day to give your pet the care it needs.

About: I have experience in puppy watching and training, as well as kitten watching and training. I also have two dogs and a cat myself and have experience with daily walks, check ups, and feeding them whether they’re a grazer or have to be fed at certain times. I just graduated from college, and I am currently working part time as a bartender and server here in Bellingham. I have almost all mornings and early afternoons free, and typically am away from home for work for a few hours in the evenings. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe and comfortable around me. I love to taking them on walks (if that’s their thing), throwing toys around for them, or even cuddling up and watching a movie with them.

“AJ watched our 3 cats and 4 chickens again this time for 12 nights. It was clear that everyone was so well looked after and cared for. We came back to a ridiculously clean home and are just so grateful for all of AJ's hard work.”

“Jada was great with Emma and kept in contact with us throughout her stay at our house. Jada was responsible and professional. We will rebook Jada again.”

“Trinity did a great job caring for our two dogs and rabbit. She asked questions, was in good communication, and our pets all seemed happy and well cared for upon our return.”

Emily B.

“Madalyn is amazing! Pandora needed to have medications picked up and given during Madalyn’s stay and Madalyn went the extra mile abs picked them up from the pharmacy for me. I got update pictures and stories every day I was away! Highly recommend for your overnight stays!”

Brianna D.

“Morgan was amazing! She took such great care of my puppy Tamale! She even let us know how he was doing by sending us pics and videos! Tamale would love to have her back!”

Juliana D.

“Eric was able to jump in fairly last minute to watch our girls when other accommodations fell through. Eric was a great communicator, logistics were easy and our girls had a great day with Eric. We are super thankful!”

Krissy F.

“Shyla did a great job with my Great Dane, Zeke! He can be a lot to handle, and she was awesome with him. She left my house spotless after her stay, too. Communication was excellent before, during, and after her stay.”
