Pet Sitting Center Point

About: I have had dogs since I was 12. Taken obedience classes ,trained all of my own and worked with/ cared for many family,friend's and acquaintance's dogs. I worked in a boarding facility several years ago and have house trained many puppies and adult dogs. I have experience with many different breeds from Chihuahuas to Rottweilers, and love them all. Dogs bring so much joy to our lives, I feel blessed to have them in my life. They are not with us long enough but the time they are here I want to express to them how grateful I am for their existence. I know first hand how hard it is to entrust others to care for our animals and will treat your four legged friend as my own while in my care. I currently work a flexible part time job and am available Thursday-Monday after 2:00, other days are possible as well depending on client needs. Also available to drop in at your home for your pet. I have a 6 foot wooden fenced yard and outdoor dog toys and water available. 3 dogs who will welcome a new buddy but also have separate space if your pet would rather be one on one with humans. My house has central air, is dog friendly with safe toys and located on an acreage with a very low traffic road. I also have 3 different size crates and a small dog exercise pen if needed. Your own crates are welcome as well. I have several puzzle toys and will welcome your pet as part of the family.

About: I’m a recent Washington State University graduate with over four years of housesitting experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs and cats. I grew up with both a Yorkie and a Great Pyrenees, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities! I’ve cared for puppies as young as two months old through senior dogs up to 13 years old, and I truly adore spending time with each one of them whether we’re throwing the ball in the yard for hours or relaxing on the porch couch. I’m patient and consistent with young pups who are still learning routines and basic training, and I’m gentle and attentive with senior dogs who may need medication, extra comfort, or slower walks. Something really important to me is treating each pet as if they were my own, to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their parents are away! Pet care definitely fits very easily into my daily routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule to accommodate any specific needs, whether that’s early morning visits, midday check-ins, evening walks, or overnight care. I’m happy to adjust my day to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away! I am also available for housesitting and truly enjoy staying in a home environment so pets can stay in their familiar space with consistent care and just someone to hangout with! The pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always going to be my top priorities. At this time, I do not offer care in my own home, but I am more than happy to provide drop-in visits or overnight housesitting in your home where your pet feels most secure. I will most definitely work hard to maintain their normal schedule, feeding routines, exercise, and any special instructions you may provide me. Additionally, I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and treat them with the same care and responsibility I would my own. Clear communication is also very important to me, so I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, and any checkins you might want for peace of mind when you’re away!

“Margaret is the best!! She took time to meet us prior to doing her scheduled drop ins and learned everything that we requested to be done during her time with our golden retriever Goose. She’s been absolutely wonderful with helping us continue his training during the drop ins, playing and loving on our boy. Excellent communication, highly recommend her!”

“We could not have asked for a better pet sitter for Walter while we were away. Megan went above and beyond during every drop-in visit to make Walter and us feel comfortable. She made sure he was fed and cared for and also gave him genuine attention, playtime, and affection. We received thoughtful updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind on vacation. It was obvious how much she truly cares about animals, and Walter absolutely adored her. We will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”

About: I started house/baby/pet-sitting right our of high school. We have 4 cats of our own and have fostered several others. I provide attentive, loving care and always treat pets like family, because they are. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, clean and make sure your fur-baby feels safe and happy while you're away. I stick closely to their routine if requested, give lots of playtime, and keep you updated with photos and messages. Whether it's walks, feeding, or just good company, I’m here to give your pet the care they deserve. I'm a responsible adult and will care about your pets AND your space as if it's my own. I want you to come home from your travels to things having been taken care of and clean, with attention to details: cleaned bowls, clean litter boxes and floors swept. I'm currently own my own business, so pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your pet’s needs. I'm available most days to provide consistent, loving care. I make sure each visit is focused, stress-free, and tailored to your pet’s routine so they feel safe and happy while you're away. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs—whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or quiet companionship. For overnight stays, I make sure they feel safe and comforted throughout the night, sticking closely to their usual schedule. During drop-in visits, I give them focused attention, clean up after them, and always make sure they’re happy and comfortable before I leave. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I have had and taken care of dogs for my entire life! I love every size and breed, and appreciate the differences between each animal. I have raised young pups/kittens and taken care of 13+ year old dogs/cats. I also have experience with dogs and cats that are not spayed or neutered. I grew up with four dogs and three cats all under one roof, so I have no problem taking care of multiple fur babies at once. I have a part-time job as a pool manager that gives me ample time between shifts. I am totally willing to take some time to visit your furry friend during the day! My shifts are at different times each day, but there is always room in my schedule to take an hour or two to visit your furry friend! My fiance, Jake, works second shift, so if there are any conflicts in my morning schedule, he is always available to help out. I have two friendly cats that were raised with dogs and other cats. They mostly keep to themselves but love to socialize with other animals. I will treat each animal like my own!

“Amanda was great! I don’t have much experience with Rover but she had knowledge of how everything works and was able to advise me when it was necessary. She was so great with my cats I felt really comfortable leaving them in her care. She also went the extra mile in making sure my space was clean and cared for. Thanks Amanda!!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve owned and cared for both small and large breeds, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I spent years volunteering with All Breed Rescue & Training in Colorado, where I gained experience supporting rescued dogs. For a year, I traveled across the country providing in-home pet care through TrustedHousesitters, staying with pets in exchange for room and board. This allowed me to care for dogs in many different homes, routines, and regions—learning how important consistency, communication, and trust are when owners are away. Today, I share my home with my own small dog, so I understand firsthand how much your pet means to you. Whether your dog needs playtime, structured walks, companionship, or just a calm and reliable presence, I treat every animal like they’re part of my family. I currently work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available for drop in visits and walks in the middle of the day and check in on your baby. I treat every dog like my own but also respect every dog's individual needs. Whatever approach or structure is needed to make your pet happy, I am happy to follow.

“Erin was amazing with our dog! She was extremely responsive and helped us with any questions we had for her! She also was willing to go the extra mile and travel a bit farther than other potential sitters. I will definitely hire her again and recommend Erin to others in need of a doggo sitter.”

About: Growing up I have always had cats and dogs around in my life. I have always bonded with cats and have lots of experience taking care of newborn kittens. I have found homes for 30 cats and kittens and would love to continue helping cats, dogs and owners out with pet care as needed! I love meeting new pets and owners and I’m exited to have you book with me! I currently work at Texas Roadhouse and am starting collage! Being injured I had to rethink how I was going to work and make money and rover works out very will for me! It’s an amazing opportunity to help pet owners in need as well as connect with pets! I love exercising and walking and always make the pets included if they want to be, even my 15 pound cat in his backpack! I currently live in an apartment building and go for walks frequently. I do own a cat backpack that is breathable for the cats to take them on walks as well as a cat and dog leash and harness for small dogs! I also have lots cat toys and a few dog toys that are just waiting to be used by someone other than my cats (whom are great with other animals).

“Talia was great and pleasant to meet. She was on time and reliable and took great pictures of the dogs. We will try to work with her again in the future!”

About: I love all dogs no matter the size! I have a mini golden doodle myself and I have been passionate about taking care of dogs ever since! I work in the mornings so afternoons and evenings would be best! I do have some weekends off so I would be able to walk them then also! I will most likely not board dogs but if I had to I do have the space at my apartment but unfortunately no yard for them to run around.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has grown up with pets and understands that they’re family. I currently have two dogs and two cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Over the years, I’ve provided pet care for friends, family, and many other pet owners, giving me experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether your pet needs a potty break, playtime, fresh water, a walk, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I work a unique schedule of eight days on and six days off, which gives me a great deal of flexibility to help care for your pets. At this time, I’m offering drop-in visits only, as I have a young child at home and am not accepting overnight stays. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I’d love the opportunity to provide reliable, compassionate care for yours! My shift time along with the unique 8 days on, 6 days off schedule that I work allows me the flexibility I need to help with your pets. I do my best to care for your pet just how you would. I always want to make sure they are happy and comfortable with a new face coming into their home.
