Dog Walkers in Blanchard, WA

About: Since I was very young I have loved and cared for our dogs and cats. For the pups, taking them for long walks and spoiling them with toys and cuddles are among my specialties! For my cats, they are the lucky recipients of lots and lots of petting, cat toys and of course their favorite meals. I have an open schedule and can stop in for regular, long dog walks or stay over for overnight pet sitting and for any pet needs in between. I have experience with all ages and all sizes of dogs and cats and like to know all of your pet's favorite things and quirk so I can make my time with them super comfotable and fun. I am far away from home and miss my animals, now Rover gives me that chance to share my love of pets with others! I have time in the mornings and evenings to play, feed, and walk the pups. I never leave a dog for longer than 8 hours but I try to make 6 the max. In my own home it’s important to make sure they have some pieces of their home like toys, a bed, and a space to feel comfortable. In your home, I know it’s their space not mine. I care a lot about respecting others’ space.

“She’s walked our girl at least three times now and it’s gone well every time. She puts in the extra effort for the animals.”

About: I love animals!! I have an 8 year old golden doodle and she loves new friends! We are very active so your pet will get plenty of play time and exercise with us. I am home frequently and can accommodate dogs of many needs. I have used rover many times myself and I aim to provide the same high-quality love and care that my dog has received. Please let me know your animals exercise, feeding, sleeping, and cuddling routine so we can make them feel as at home as possible! I currently work part time and I am in school where I do most of my studies from home. I take frequent walks around the neighborhood and love to explore places in nature with my dog as well. I spend lots of time at home, ensuring your pet has the time and attention they deserve. I love taking care of animals and treating them like they are my own babies!

About: I still have few spots available in May, June and part of July, so book your pet sitting now! Sedro-Woolley, Bellingham and Mount Vernon! As a school bus driver, I work 6-10 AM, then have few hours break and go back to my afternoon drive 2-6 PM. To ensure proper care for animals, I like to book clients no further than a 30 min drive from Sedro Woolley. Please take this into consideration when looking at a sitter for your pets! The school year ends June 12th and I am available until mid-July. Afterwards, I am taking time off for my own motorcycle travels (this time to Colorado) and then spend August in Europe :) I have owned cats, large dogs (100 + lbs), and horses over the years, so I'm well-versed in handling a variety of pet needs. I am comfortable around animals and can stand my ground with them. I enjoy large breeds and, having two 150Lbs + dogs before I know how hard it is to find someone to take care of them! I am available for short and long term stays in Whatcom and Skagit counties. Dogs, cats, horses, turtles and fish - all welcomed and loved! I work as a school bus driver, so I leave the house early in the morning for few hours, then have 2-4 hrs off and then drive the kids home in the afternoon, usually 2-6 pm. If this is something that will work for you and your pet family, please reach out! I usually do a greet & meet before to make sure that everyone is comfortable! I will follow the directions you give me, be it giving medication to your pets, putting it in the crate at night or when away and any other rules that you may have.

About: Hi there! I am an elementary school teacher & during the summers, I like to spend my time outdoors, walking dogs! I have had dogs in my life since I was 6 years old. In my family, we have had dogs from little to big! I have also had plenty of experiences house sitting & caring for animals. I have experience with over night care, bathing, walking & play dates! Recently, I became a Dog Mama to a beautiful German Shepard who is the apple of my eye. In 2018, I was awarded a scholarship for my children’s book, “Ball?” (See profile picture). I wrote this book in dedication to my family dog & best friend, Astro. I continue to write more children’s books about the dogs & animals in my life. I love the cuddles, hugs, & wet kisses. ♥️ I am a primary teacher! School begins late August & ends in Mid-June. I am free during the summers and most major holidays. Please reach out in advance to schedule any visits on holidays. I will not be hosting any dogs in my home at this time. I prefer to walk dogs in the great outdoors! I also offer drop in visits. Thank you very much.

About: Hello! My name is Lauren and I have been taking care of animals on and off since I was a little girl. I have sat for puppies, seniors, cats, dogs, and everything in between. I have a bird and three dogs of my own, including a Saint Bernard. I love animals and I am hoping to get to meet some new ones. Right now, I am home from college in Seattle for the summer. I am currently taking bookings for any day of the week and at any time! Because of my flexible schedule, I am able to take pets on walks/potty breaks as often as needed. I always make an effort to tidy up toys or the home in general before leaving and I am very comfortable crating/feeding/playing with dogs of any size.

“First impression of Holly has been most excellent! We arranged to meet together beforehand so that she could meet my dogs and get to know them and their routines. The dogs took to her right away. She is very pleasant and respectful and professional. I had no doubt that she'd be great with them! She was punctual with all her walks this week and provided me with a little report and some pics from their time together each day. Very reliable! Would certainly recommend! Thanks Holly!”

I also have the ability to crate your friend if need be.
