“Leslie is an amazing person to work with and flexible, she will work with your schedule and be honest on her availability, if you book her you will get quality photos for your album. I will book again with her!!!!”

“Andrhu was so kind and flexible. When access to the house was unavailable, at my poor planning, he was incredibly understanding and accommodating. It is more appreciated than he may know. He was very thorough as well during his drop in visits for our 2 pups.”

About: I have owned and cared for a menagerie of animals including, but not limited to, dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, and yes, a mini donkey. Whether you need a zoo keeper or care for a single, well-loved pet, I’m looking forward to meeting you and the animals you share a home with! I’m working at Mt Baker so I’m waiting on winter to start my seasonal job which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I am available to visit or stay in my clients’ homes. I am also more than happy to complete any additional house-sitting tasks if needed like plant-watering or retrieving packages.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 13. I have experience in petsitting through family, friends and neighbors. Animals have always been in my life and their needs adjust my daily life. I’m currently a university student who is studying computer science. So a lot of my homework/ assignments are done on a computer meaning I’m home for most of the day! I have lots of extra time to interact/ have fun with a pet at home :) Walking: I provide long and stimulating walks with lots of sniffing, playing and exercise. Drop ins: I really enjoy these! I love greeting dogs and providing them with the mental/ physical stimulation they need for the day! ( I have lots of ideas prepared everyone’s different personality/size/activity) Boarding/ sitting: not available right now

“Was amazing! Sent pictures during every visit and commented on his daily mood/vibes.”

“Madison was very conscientious and thorough, she always let me know when she was dropping in and how my cat was doing. She’s very personable, down to earth, and trustworthy. We look forward to working with her again.”

“Everything went smoothly and Lauren was professional and caring.”

About: I have experience caring for pets of various ages and temperaments, which has prepared me to confidently manage a wide range of situations and provide dependable support in times of need! As a full time Kinesiology student at Western Washington University, I build pet care into my daily and weekly routine just like I do with my classes and training. My rhythm is structured and organized, which allows me to reliably set aside time for walks, feeding, play, and check-ins. Being active and studying movement also makes spending time with pets a natural fit—I enjoy incorporating exercise, outdoor activity, and consistency into their care while balancing my academic responsibilities. In my clients home I will make sure to foster a safe, comforting, and attentive environment for their furry companion such as being conscientious of potty breaks, crate time, and playtime!

About: I’ve lived with pets my whole life, and have experience caring for both cats and dogs of varying difficulty levels. I can handle dogs of any size and energy level, having grown up with a very high strung Vizsla and a small rescue. I am gentle, caring and will always do my best to ensure that your pet gets the best care possible. I am currently a student at Western Washington University, so i will have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings to ensure that your pet gets the utmost care. While I don’t have space at home to crate or board your pet, I am happy to take them on walks in the many beautiful parks and forests around Bellingham, or play with them in their home yard or house. I am also always happy to sit and snuggle with your pet to comfort them while you are away.

“Cassidy is excellent! Our dog and cat love her company and are always well taken care of!”

Kristen K.

“Mika was quick to respond and easy to communicate with! I appreciate all the steps she took to help my anxious cat feel more comfortable in the short time she visited, as well as the many update pictures that were sent. I'm definitely contacting her again; highly recommend!”

About: I have been fascinated by animals all my life and deeply care for all of them. My family always had at least 1 dog at home and we would often have other animals such as fish, a chameleon, or a stick bug. I frequently helped care for other pets around the neighborhood when asked to do so and still enjoy stopping to say hi to many of them on walks. Most of my experience, however, comes from my work history. I have worked almost exclusively at various kennels since I was old enough to work at around 16. While the vast majority of the animals I cared for were dogs, I also got some experience with cats, birds, and even rabbits once or twice. Because of my prior work experience, I am very good at handling dogs of all kinds and don't get grossed out by messes. I am a college student at Western Washington University. So, starting on the 23rd I will be available after 11am M&F, after 1:30 T&Th, and after 5 on W. The Weekends I should be completely free unless I have plans. Within these available times I can show up as needed to care for your pet. For walks I will initially say hi and give your pup some pets as I gear them up for their stroll. As far as the walk itself goes, I will always let the dog go at their own pace and will generally try and be out for around an hour in your neighborhood unless I am requested not to. For walk-ins and house sitting I will begin by giving your doggo some cuddles before quickly letting them outside to go potty. Afterwards I will scan the house or crate for messes and clean any that may have surfaced. Following cleanup I will take them out to either play or go for a walk depending on owner preference and then feed them according to owner specifications (Feeding and exercise can be interchanged depending on timing and instruction). In this time I can also send updates to you about how everyone's doing! From there I will likely either sit with the pet for a little and leave if I am just checking in or try and do some school work or something if I am house sitting. I will make sure to follow all instructions and reach out for help if I have any questions. Thank you for trusting me with your pet(s)!

About: Hi, I'm Sydney! I am 20 years old and am currently a student at WWU. I have a lot of availability this summer and would love to spend time with your pet! I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I have hands‑on experience with everything from energetic puppies who need structure and play to older pets who require medication, mobility support, or extra comfort. I’m calm and reliable, which helps me build trust quickly and create a positive, stress‑free experience for your pet. Your pet is my priority. I would need to know up front if your pet requires 24-hour care, overnight care, or just potty breaks, feeding, and play time. I want to give your furry family member the exact care that they need. I will prioritize you and your pets' safety, care, and comfort. I am ready to accommodate whatever your pet may need, whether that is consistent walks, cuddles, or you name it!

“Madeline was super responsive, and I came home to two happy cats. I would feel totally safe leaving them in her care again!”

About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, from growing up with horses and dogs to caring for aquatic animals in my career. I have experience housesitting for friends and family, as well as giving my own animals loads of love and attention. I understand the specific care that comes with each pet and their unique personalities. I am also comfortable working with pets in any condition, with experience working with seniors, injured animals, and those with health conditions, such as epilepsy. I currently work fulltime M-F, but often work from home and love to incorporate pet visits/walks on my breaks! I am also available for house sitting over most weekends, and during the week depending on the needs of your pets. It’s important that you and your pets feel comfortable with a new person in their space, so I try to make their routine as normal as possible, whatever that may be. I am respectful of your space and want to provide a stress-free time for you and your pets while you’re away.

About: I have over 13 years of experience working in a veterinary hospital as a veterinary technician (non-certified) , and am well-experienced with animal care. I can administer all medications in any form. I have worked with all sizes and breeds of dogs, and have no restrictions in regards to that. Working with animals is my passion, and I am lucky to get paid to provide them with medical care and support at my regular job. I have also owned animals for my entire life, and I wanted to be Jane Goodall when I grew up. I'm comfortable with most types of animals, like dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs and reptiles. Who better to care for your pet than someone who has such an array of both personal and professional experience? I have a lot of flexibility right now, so it works smoothly into my daily and weekly routines. My flexibility may change once I got a full time job. I cannot currently care for pets in my home. I would care for your pet by following their usual routine as best I can to keep them comfortable.

About: I’ve spent my entire life growing up around many types of animals and was always taught to treat each one like family 🩵 I started caring for others pets around 12 years old and have taken care of many species and breeds of animals, owned multiple exotic animals of my own (frogs currently🐸), co-ran a pet sitting business for multiple years where I was watching up to 13+ animals at some points, and am comfortable with every breed-from the never ending energy of a border collie to taking it easy with a senior dog or sitting with them for an hour just to earn a little trust for anxious pups. I am a young, responsible and professional adult, I love the outdoors and taking dogs out into it, I am someone who thrives in an organized environment and am patient and more than willing to work with animals that need to build trust. My top priority is always the safety and happiness of the pets I take care of, always ensuring they are getting the mental stimulation they need as well as knowing their behavior and being able to accordingly keep them in situations they are comfortable and happy in. I work part time as a baker, I have the most availability saturday-Monday, but am available most weekday evenings. I love getting out into nature and am very willing to work with you to fit dog walks, sits or whatever else you may need with my schedule! I live in a house in a quiet neighborhood with a small yard, it’s directly across from whatcom falls park and I have lots of access to great trails and the river. I always carry everything I might need in any emergency situation with an animal I’m taking care of, I am very aware of my surroundings and am very good at catching animals behaviors before any situation has escalated and am able to prevent them, from both my animals and strangers. I have spent lots of time training and many hours learning about animals and the physical warnings they show in discomfort, I have always been able to safely remove or prevent my own pets as well as clients from a stressful situation. I have no trouble standing up for my animal if a stranger isn’t taking proper care of theirs and will always put myself between them and harms way.

“Tami is the best. Sherlock loves her visits and getting so much attention! She’s very reliable and skilled at taking care of my older dog and somewhat persnickety cat.”

Katie A.

“Karolina has been a lifesaver for us this summer. She is very responsive, always sends photos, and is willing to go the distance (figurative and literally—we live pretty far off the beaten path). She took the time to get to know our kitty. I was surprised when Klaire, who is shy, was on Karolina’s lap by the third visit. Thank you, Karolina!”

About: I've had animals my entire life - dogs, cats, and hamsters. I have also nannied for a lot of families with dogs and cats. I've done vet visits, administered medications, and regularly help care for my brother's aussie shepherd. I'm knowledgeable, responsible, friendly, and love animals. I have had my own cat, Domo, since 2009, and he's my best friend. I would love to have a dog too but I can’t right now, so I would love to spend time with yours! My brother manages a veterinarian office so I always have extra information and someone to reach out to. I look forward to spending time with your furry family members! I'm currently looking for work (I work in social services and mental health care) after moving back to Bellingham from Seattle. I miss my friends' pets! I have a 17 year old senior cat who loves his own space and unfortunately would not appreciate me bringing animals home to his space. I have had him since he was ten weeks old!
