About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years and have cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m attentive, patient, and good at reading each dog’s energy and needs. I also have a very friendly, well-socialized dog of my own. If your pup enjoys having company on walks, she’s happy to join! If your dog prefers solo attention, I completely respect that and will always prioritize what makes your pet most comfortable. My goal is to create a safe, positive, and stress-free experience every time. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which means I can give your pet plenty of time, attention, and consistency. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits on both weekdays and weekends, with flexible timing to fit your pet’s routine. Since I’m not balancing another job, I’m able to fully prioritize your pet and make sure they feel cared for, comfortable, and never rushed. I offer flexible care depending on what your pet is most comfortable with. I have a large, fully fenced yard available if your dog enjoys being outside and is comfortable spending time with my very friendly dog. If your pup prefers one-on-one care or staying in their own space, I’m more than happy to come to your home, follow your routine closely, and be respectful of your space. I will also take your dog on walks in familiar areas you’re comfortable with. My priority is always creating a safe, low-stress, and positive experience tailored to your pet’s needs.

About: I stand out with experience in both puppy training and senior pet care. I’m patient, dependable, and tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins are scheduled with consistency, care, and plenty of affection. And lots of love ❤️ In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with regular meals, playtime, and supervision. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines closely—providing personalized care, walks, feedings, medication if needed, and lots of love to keep pets happy and stress-free.

About: I have had a dog ever since I can remember and I am 69 yrs old. I have TIME and am reliable, because I am retired. I made sure my kids grew up with a dog and now they have my grand dogs which I love to babysit. I lost my last dog (he was 14) in 2018 and I knew I was going to retire (and travel) in 2021 so now I have my grand dogs and all my friends dogs to babysit and get my fix. I also have volunteered for Rescue4All rescue since I retired. I have a medium sized doggie door out to a wonderful patio and yard fully fenced with 6 ft high vinyl fence. I love dogs so much. They are just the most loving, gentle, and FUN animals put on this earth. I am a walker, so all dogs that stay at my house get walked everyday, with a ton of love and affection. I am going to start Rover on Jan. 2026!!!! I am retired, so I would love to walk your dogs during the day for you. (I am a daily walker anyway :) so why not?) If they stay with me, my home is perfect with a fenced yard, medium sized doggie door (but I do love and will have larger dogs too) and they will get a lot of love and attention. While I prefer crate trained dogs, it does not mean they would be in their crate during the day unless you say it is needed if I leave the house. If not crate trained I would be okay if they are a very well trained dog :) My home is just me, so dogs will get that one on one attention. I am retired so I can accommodate any feeding/walking schedules that are needed.

About: I've always had dogs in my family, including several rescue dogs which has been super rewarding. My husband and I have been fortunate to be able to retire early but we are both very active. I want to spend my spare time doing something productive that I love... caring for dogs is a perfect fit! Most of my time is spent at my home and in our back yard. I have 2 dogs that are very social and love spending time with other dogs. They will enjoy having play-dates with your dog(s). I believe that every dog deserves to be valued and loved. I limit the dogs I board to a maximum of 4 dogs at a time in order to ensure that each dog will get proper care and attention. I don't work outside of the home. If I need to run an errand or go shopping, my husband is typically home to care for the digs. Dogs are rarely left alone, but if they are, it is for no longer than 2 to 3 hours. When the weather is nice, we keep the sliding door open so that the dogs can hang out indoor or outdoors, wherever they feel most comfortable. During the colder months we let the dogs out every two to four hours. We don't crate dogs unless that's what they're used to. We allow dogs on our furniture and in our bed.

“Tek came back from her walk with Nadia and it was clear I’ve been downgraded to her second favorite person 😒 (Joke…sorta. But Nadia is great. 10/10)”

About: I am Suzy I grew up on a farm in a small town. I just retired from being a private hospice caregiver. I have experience with dogs, cats, cows, pigs, goats and horses. I have had my own dogs and cats and started helping more with pet sitting and dog walking for friends and family. I have an alternative medicine degree and it has helped me not only in my personal life but also with my animals lives. I am good with dogs and cats that have high energy and separation anxiety. I am loving being retired and building my pet sitting business that revolves around cuddles with cats and dogs. I started doing this because I have 3 grand pups and 1 grand cat along with 1 human grand daughter and it has brought me peace and happiness. I was lost on what I wanted to do with this part of my life. I immensely enjoy pet sitting and meeting new pet owners and pets. I am not in a position to have pets at my home. However in your home I am there to help your animal not feel alone by giving them the attention they need or what you have requested.

“Best dog walker!! So kind to our pups.”

About: I have owned many pets throughout my childhood. To say what kind of experience I have would take more than 125 words because each pet has their own personality and style and I adapt to exactly what your pets need and want. If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want space, they get space. I’m home almost all day so they will get all the attention they ever want(or the space they need). I aim to make them happy! Non smoke home with a big spacious living room to play or rest in. I’ve been dog walking/pet sitting since I was a teen and miss doing that. I love hiking and anything outdoorsy so I’m always up for being outside as well. If you have any questions please reach out! I’m a stay at home mom so I’ll be able to easily take your pup out on walks and quick potty breaks. We don’t have a fenced yard but have a shared yard out in the back as well as a park nearby. I walk them right before I would leave to run any errands and usually don’t take long. I follow the instructions provided so that its not stressful for the pup as well as the pet owner. I send updates on how the pup is doing and what we’re up to. We go out on walks a lot. If it’s okay with the owner than I take the pup out on a shorter hike with my daughter. I make sure to grab water too! At home we see what kind of personality the pup has because some aren’t as active and would rather cuddle while others like to play play play.

“Skyla was not only on-time but even spared a little extra time because the dogs wanted to sniff around on their walk a little longer! She also made time to come over ahead of the very first booking to meet the dogs and me so we could all get acquainted and she could see where their leashes, bowls, and treats are kept. The dogs LOVE her, and we look forward to booking more walks, stop-ins, etc. with Skyla.”

“Melisa was kind and professional! My dog is often timid and had refused to go out for a walk when I am gone before but Melissa handled it like a champ, was patient and kind, and was able to coax him out of the house. Thank you Melissa!”

About: Taking care of your pups and cats is AS important as taking care of my own self. I’ve worked at a doggy day care, so I know all the ins and outs of what to do and what not to do with canines. I am calm, patient, kind, caring, and gentle. Our furry friends are our babies, they deserve every bit of love and light possible. I work a full time M-F job, so I am unable to do morning or midday drop-ins. I still offer evening drop-ins, as well as housesitting (if I am not away from housesitting) as long as your pup is okay being alone for 8-9 hours! Attention and details are some of the most important traits to have while caring for pets. I will carry a loop(s) with me when necessary, so I can easily get ahold of your pup if they become too energetic under certain circumstances. If you need me to take care of something specific that your pup does, I can handle it.

“Bethany is a great walker! Our little guy is still a puppy but she was very patient with him pulling and being a little jumpy. We will be sure to use her again!”

About: Hi, I am Lukas. I am an experienced and CPR-certified pet sitter who has been caring for animals since 2005. I grew up fostering kittens and walking neighborhood dogs. My favorite, most-read book was "The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Dogs, Dog Breeds & Dog Care" by Larkin et al. I also spent years patiently befriending stray cats, raccoons, and one opossum by sitting quietly with them until they felt safe enough to approach. That early experience shaped how I care for animals today. I let each pet show me who they are, and I match my approach to their individual needs. Over the years, I have cared for cats, dogs, goats, and rabbits. I have worked with senior pets and kittens. I have supported animals who feel anxious or reactive. I have managed medication regimens and cared for households with multiple pets. Beginning in 2025, I finally started offering paid dog sitting and house sitting for friends for stays up to two weeks. My goal is always to create a calm and predictable environment where animals can relax while their people are away. My rates are currently at or below Washington state’s minimum wage and wage differential standards/practices. When I care for dogs, I use a structured routine that includes feeding, potty breaks, positive reinforcement, and enriching activities to help them feel settled. I only walk one dog at a time, and I only walk dogs that I know. For safety, I require that the dog be leash-trained and wear a dedicated walking collar or harness that will not choke if they pull. With cats and other quiet companions, I rely on gentleness, patience, and observation. I never force physical contact. If they want affection, I am happy to offer it. If they prefer space, I honor that and let them approach me on their own terms. Even very shy cats often warm up to me because I do not rush them. Communication matters to me. You will receive photos of your pets when I arrive and when I leave. I also send extra pictures or videos when your pet does something sweet or interesting. Being away from a beloved animal can be stressful, and I want you to feel connected and reassured. Pets are family members, and each one has a unique personality and way of moving through the world. My goal is to support that individuality and help each pet live comfortably and confidently while you are gone. I want you to feel completely certain that your animals are safe and cared for with genuine warmth and professionalism. IMPORTANT NOTE: All pets must have up-to-date vaccinations, be spayed/neutered, and show no symptoms of communicable diseases (Parvo, kennel cough, etc.). I work part-time as a barista, and I am an online student. I will request internet access in your home if I'm staying for longer than half an hour, so I can tackle some schoolwork if my calendar schedule is particularly full. I get my work schedule for the week every Sunday night, so I usually respond to requests on Mondays. But I'm flexible. If you have a question, let's chat. Important note: Potty breaks aren't just for pets! I may need to use your bathroom. Please leave it unlocked. I do not offer boarding at this time, which means I'll be caring for pets in your home. If you decide to book with me, I'll have you fill out a document with information on your pets' particular needs and routines (medications, potty frequency, dietary restrictions, etc).
