Dog Sitting in Blaine

“Marisa did a great job looking after my two cats while I was away! She wrote detailed notes after each drop-in visit and was patient and kind with my anxious cats. I would definitely recommend Marisa to look after your pets!”

About: Hello all! I grew up on a cattle ranch with all sorts of animals around, all the time. I've raised / fostered / adopted dogs & cats of all sizes and breeds. I moved to Blaine, WA in July 2020 from Orcas Island, WA - and we live 5 minutes from the beach. Beach day, all day! I was certified as a therapy dog trainer in Oregon in 2009 and have carried techniques and skills learned there through my entire adult life. I can offer tips and tricks for training certain behaviors, if that is something you need support in! I can't imagine what life would be like without our fur family and I can ensure your fluffy buddies will be treated as family as well in my care. Have a whole farm? We can chat about a budget that works for you! Even farm owners deserve to take a vacation once in a while! :) Located in Canada? We can make arrangements for border travel, no problem! While currently on a hiatus from fostering, I serve as a behavioral rehab support to multiple rescues that serve Whatcom county. If you have a question on behaviors or something you’re struggling with with your dog - I’m happy to brainstorm and offer options to help! I work from home part time during the week. My weekends are free 100%. I also can bring dogs along in my truck (in the cab) and potty/walk them throughout the day. If we go on an adventure, your fur baby will ride in the back of my car with the climate controlled depending on the weather. They can be transported with or without a crate as well. Our yard is fully fenced with 6 ft no climb wire fencing. The yard is separated into 3 sections, to allow space and time for introductions. No dog is left outside without a human supervising. Crates are available upon request (so you don't have to pack yours up!), and the house can be divided 3 ways to allow for space and time as needed. Wherever your dog is most comfortable is where your dog will sleep (even if it's in our bed or on the couch!). PLEASE NOTE: We have our own pack of SIX (6) dogs (see below). I make sure to allow for proper introductions to any new pet on site. This means that for meet & greets and for pickups/dropoffs, our home may sound a little like a ZOO! And, if you’d like to meet everyone that’s onsite - plan to allow plenty of time for the interaction (and let me know ahead of time so I can plan my time as well!) I can assure you that we maintain safety above all else & are happy to accommodate preferred practices for your canine.

“Ashley was awesome. She is communicative and reliable. Felt my cat was safe in her care. Would book again.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. Fun fact: my first word was doggie. I’ve dealt with all kinds of breeds: Keeshond, pug, chihuahua, jack russell, lab, Australian shepherd, you name it! I SO enjoy dogs, and treat them (perhaps) better than family at times. I firmly believe that dogs are a humans best friend and just want to share my love of them by helping people care for them. I had a pug for many years and towards the end of her life, I bought her a wheelchair and a doggie stroller so she could still enjoy the outdoors with myself and my other (now senior) dog. I moved to Birch Bay in February and was commuting to work in Canada up until the end of June. Since then, I have been looking for work and secured a few house cleaning and Airbnb cleaning jobs for the time being. That being said, I am local and available almost all the time now. I take my own dog out about 5-6 times a day and have been assisting my neighbours dogs (2 golden retrievers) while they’ve been away on shorter trips. While I do live in a condo with stairs, there are several grassed areas in my complex where dogs can relieve themselves. We even have dog bag stations throughout the complex and many owners and renters have dogs here, I can name all of them in my building. My dog goes where I go. She’s allowed on the couch, she’s allowed on my bed. My house is her house as well.

About: I was 11 years old when my family got our first dog, and from that day on, caring for dogs became a part of my life. Walking, bathing, training, and feeding were part of my daily routine growing up, and I’ve lived with dogs ever since. In May 2024, I brought home my own Bernese Mountain Dog. I’m very experienced with large breeds, having trained puppies and provided the special care senior dogs need. In currently working part time so I have a lot of time on my hands to take care of your furry friends. I myself have a 17 month old Bernese Mountain Dog who loves an adventures and friends. Walking and adventuring is already apart of my everyday routine. I would love to arrange a meet-and-greet with your pup before entering your home to ensure they feel comfortable with me. After each walk, I’ll make sure they have fresh drinking water and that all of their needs are met before I leave.

About: I have dog cared experience for 11 years and I always had time to walk them 3 times daily rain or shine as I love pets and willing to spend time with them. I am currently semiretired and with 1 friendly dog and 1 calm cat with me at home, my main job is looking after them . There is no problem with me to take care more of them. My schedule except Sunday as I go to church The rest of day I m free . I have many dog toys as well as cats and 2 new cat trees at home which can provide them with lots of fun . I also will leashed cat walk around neighborhood. I come from a non smoking family with friendly neighborhood and a nearby park and I drive for an errand and take them to beach when weather permits.

About: About this sitte I've been a dog lover and owner of both small and medium dogs for the past 25+ years. I've had young dogs, old dogs, sickly dogs and can handle any situation. I have experience administering medications, injections, etc. I’ve also had several cats over the years and understand their idiosyncrasies. I prefer small to medium dogs but am open to caring for large dogs as long as they aren’t known to be aggressive or have a bite history. I'm a retired RN with time now to pursue things I enjoy, one of which is caring for pets. I have two senior dogs of my own so understand how difficult it can be to find someone who is trustworthy, reliable and who will care for them as they would their own. My schedule is flexible, available most days and times. At this point, I am not offering house sitting or boarding in my home. In the near future, I may decide to update my services to include boarding in my home. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood, a house with a fully fenced yard and a special “cookie” cabinet just for them.

About: My family and I raised a Bernese Mountain Dog from puppy to adulthood, so we’re experienced with both young and senior dogs. We treat every dog like part of the family — with love, patience, and lots of playtime. Your pup will feel right at home with us! What's more, we have two boys who really like dogs, which is the reason for us to take pet care business. Me and my husband Oliver remote work for a trading company based in China, so most of our working time are at night. We have plenty of time to play with the dogs. I have a fenced yard and my two boys love playing with dogs. We will keep your dog company and loved with safety. We have experience to take care of dogs.

“Hannah looked after our 18 yr old Siamese cat for a week and did a fabulous job. She gave us daily updates and sent pictures. So nice to know our pet was in good hands with someone who loves cats! I would highly recommend her!”

About: Hi everyone! Looking for a reliable pet sitter? I've got you covered! I offer structured boarding, house sitting, daycare, private training lessons, dog walking, mountain adventure days (fan favorite!!!), along with pet photography sessions. I am currently a sophomore at OU and go home to Washington State in the summers and I’m a former track and field athlete for the University of Oklahoma. With 10+ years of experience competing in dog agility and various dog sports, I know how to handle high-energy and high-drive dogs. I have also fostered countless dogs over the years, specializing in medical fosters, so I've seen it all. Whether it's playtime, exercise, or just some love and attention, your furry friend will be in great hands! We live on 10 acres and every afternoon, I take the dogs in my care for a hike on our trails. I also offer epic adventure days where I can bring your dog for hikes in Mount Baker and North Cascades! If I am not out doing things with dogs, I am at home! I love taking the dogs out for adventures, so we are always having fun out and about! I have a fenced yard and can easily keep my dogs separate if needed. I think it’s important for each and every dog to have their needs met whether that be through dog sports, training, or hikes! I can also offer training for an additional fee.

“Samantha was awesome! We felt very comfortable with Samantha coming into our home and it provided us with great peace of mind to have her look after our cat. We hope to engage her again in the future and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She’s the best!”

About: I have been a dog owner since birth and could not see myself without a furry friend. A dogs company is the best company. Your dogs will not miss you at all while they're with me I can guarentee you that. I have a very open schedule during summertime to accommodate anyone's needs. Whether it be early in the morning, in the afternoon or for overnight stays I can be there. After summertime is over I will still be available but not as available as I have a full time job working in a school district. If your dog loves to run I am more than happy to take them for runs. I look forward to hearing back from anyone interested in my doggy care.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, and even fish. I recently had a golden retriever who was truly my best friend, so I know how much pets mean to their families. I’m also a full-time teacher, which means I’m responsible, patient, and always dependable. Whether your pet needs belly rubs, playtime, or just a calm, friendly presence while you’re away, I’m here to help! I’m on summer break from teaching, so I’m available daily from morning to night for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I’d love to spend my break caring for your furry family members! I live in a pet-friendly apartment and am just minutes from walking trails, dog parks, and the beach—perfect for keeping pets active and happy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I bring the same level of responsibility and respect I do as a teacher and experienced caregiver. I’ve looked after both pets and children in others’ homes and always treat each space with care and professionalism. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

“We had a great meet and greet with Sheridan and Wendy with Miss Daisy. She was very relaxed with them during the meet/greet. They both answered all our doggie questions. We had our first visit last night. Sheridan and Wendy put us at complete ease about leaving Daisy. They gave us sweet updates and photos which made us laugh and know that she was in good, caring hands. Daisy was happy to see them and frankly didn't miss us at all. She even wondered "where did they go" after they left!!!! So pleased that we have found Sheridan and Wendy and will be booking again.”

“Haiou watched my cat Luna for me while I was out of town. He sent lots of photos and took good care of Luna while I was away. He followed all my instructions and kept my apartment nice and tidy. Thank you Haiou! I will be sure to book you again in the future!”

I will make sure to keep your pets happy and comfortable. I won't leave pets unsupervised and I will ensure that their needs are met.
