Shania has been really, really amazing with Milton and his struggles with PTSD and anxiety. She is patient, compassionate, and incredibly attentive. Shania took the time to build trust and make Milt feel safe. Her care has made a really big difference, and we just can’t recommend her enough.

Alyssa’s been such a thoughtful and consistent help with our dog Rosie. Rosie can be anxious and slow to warm up to new people, and Alyssa was patient with her. Have booked with Alyssa many times and will do so again in the future.

Met Elizabeth for a meet and greet for more frequent walks while I’m at work. She was super punctual and sweet with my little Koda. She asked a lot of questions to make sure she could provide Koda with the best walk possible. I look forward to working more with her!

About: I’ve owned and cared for animals all my life, from raising puppies and kittens to senior care. Our home has 5 animals and I love curating their care based on their personality to ensure they feel safe & loved. I’m currently working part-time creating my own schedule, able to customize my schedule around pet care to ensure their regular routine isn’t disrupted. I love to spend extra time with animals when their parents are out of town, as I know that’s when they can feel the most stressed. I can stay overnight with your animals, and provide regular care intervals throughout the day to ensure your animal is well cared for. Depending on their needs, I can be available to ensure their regular routine isn’t disrupted.

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and have basically never known a pet-free life. I grew up with my dad, who is a professional dog trainer, so learning how to understand and work with animals started early for me. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and even ferrets (yes, really) — I had two ferrets and a cat in college, and now I have two cats of my own. I regularly take care of my family’s pets when they’re out of town, and I take that responsibility seriously while still making sure pets feel relaxed, safe, and loved. I’m excited to expand my pet care and help more families feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have two cats of my own, and playtime is built into our mornings and evenings — it’s something my husband and I genuinely enjoy. We both work full-time (I’m a teacher and he works in the medical field), but during the day my mom or grandmother is home with my son, so there’s always someone around. That means pets are never left without care, attention, or a familiar presence, and I’m able to stick closely to each pet’s normal routine. Pets will be safe and comfortable in my home. We own our house and have both a fully fenced backyard and a fenced front yard, giving pets plenty of secure outdoor space. We love getting outside and regularly go on longer walks and trail excursions, so active dogs will get plenty of exercise and enrichment. Daily walks are already part of our routine, often with my son along for the fun. Inside, pets have space to relax, and I can crate a dog if needed or requested. I also have a calm, quiet area of the house for pets who prefer a more peaceful space or need a break from activity.

About: I have owned or cared for dogs my entire life, with the occasional rodent or scaled creature thrown in. Hopefully not at the same time. I’m comfortable with basic wound cleaning as well as administering medication. After a period working in a pet store I’m also more skilled in ear cleaning, breathing treatments, and temperature taking than I’d care to be. Work situation changed so I’m more open to daytime walks and drop ins. I also keep a weird sleep schedule so if you need a late night drop in or walk, hit me up. Update: I did recently get a dog. He’s a young doodle and prefers to chew on my hair and hands more than toys, but gets along well with other dogs. He sure everyone wants to be his friend. He is young, potty trained and a great playmate. So right now the only way I’m able to sit is if your dog would like new bestie. I am unable to care for pets in my home. I live with my niece and her cat can be a little…stabby, for lack of a better word. In your home, I’ll be following your lead. I do tend to go outside with dogs at night, even with fenced yards. I am always wary of bobcats and coyotes looking for water and snacks. I’m also perfectly comfortable with a pile of animals sleeping in bed with me so if that’s what your animals prefer, I’m here for it.

About: Nice to meet you! I've owned, fostered, and babysat numerous animals, from dogs to cats to reptiles and bugs. I have previous experience house sitting for family and teachers. Besides this, I volunteer at the maternity ward, babysit, and enjoy drawing! I can handle both the high and low maintenance needs of your pets, and am available for all special needs. I am currently a pre-med student at the University of Puget Sound, and as such most of my later day will be free- as well as all time on weekends. I wake up at about 8 am on most days, and am open to waking up periodically throughout the night incase of animal care needs. I cannot not take any pet home, as Inlive in a dorm- but I am agile and capable to do animal upkeep, clean messes, and meet your pet's needs within your house or outside. I prefer to work with smaller animals, as I have no trouble crating, carrying, clothing, or otherwise managing those sizes, as well as personal preference! I have experience caring for senior and special needs pets, and am fully welcoming to a customizable care plan or schedule!

Bailiegh is absolutely incredible. She understands Convoy's needs and makes sure they are met every time. She communicates appropriately and is well spoken. She sends video and pictures every walk and Convoy is always happy, vocal and worn out. Bailiegh is a Rover dream and looking forward to continuing having her being a positive figure in Convoy's life.

About: I had 4 dogs growing up and my parents always had me on a tight schedule with taking care of them. I fed them every morning at 6AM or 10AM and at 5-6PM every night. I also walked them and cleaned their messed when needed, and finally i never let their water bowl go dry. I love dogs and when I’m around them long enough they’ll love me. I will have plenty of time to take care of pets during the week. Im currently trying to make any extra cash I can right now. Which ever way a dog has to he taken care of I can do it. Each of my dogs growing up had different food and ways they needed to eat so I always took care of that

Bailiegh goes above and beyond for Convoy. Works on commands, makes sure he gets exercise, have even filled his giant auto water dish multiple times. She understands how smart he is and doesn't let him waiver from being his best. I truly appreciate the peace she has brought me knowing Convoy is more than well taken care of when Im at work.

Ethan did an excellent job walking and caring for our large, reactive dog. It was clear that he felt very comfortable handling challenging dogs, and after meeting him we felt good about leaving our dog in his care. The pictures and updates he shared after his walks reinforced this--our dog looked so happy with him! He was also extremely communicative and professional, which we appreciated. We feel very lucky to have found him and will absolutely use him for our future pet care needs.

Chris was great! He was super prompt in responding, ready next day to walk Kain and did very well with him. Being that Kain is 180lbs it can be intimidating but Chris really made himself feel like they had been buddies for years. They went on a long 3 mile walk/jog so Kain was plenty tired! We will certainly use Chris' service again and would highly recommend!
