Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Columbia, Bellingham, WA

“Peps is a phenomenally attentive and loving pet sitter! They went above and beyond with my boys, and despite the fact that I was gone for an extended period of time, not once did I worry that they weren't being looked after. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!”

“Lizz was great! She was very reliable and very professional. You can tell right away that she really has a love of animals. She was very responsible with regards to the instructions we left for our dog Buster. Definitely looking forward to hiring her again soon.”

“Maddy is so fantastic. She always goes above and beyond in caring for my critters, and you can tell how much she loves spending time with them. She provides great, consistent communication and always takes fun photos. I highly recommend using Maddy for your pet care :)”

“Paige has been amazing! She is quick to reply and so attentive to our dogs needs. She is comfortable taking care of our three rowdy pups, which is a gift! We are so happy to have Paige to help and keep our dogs comfortable and at ease when we cannot be around.”

“Emily is amazing! She took wonderful care of our 2 cats while we were away for over a week. They both remained happy and healthy because of her care. She is honest, trustworthy, and sent us pics daily of our babies which we found both comforting and hilarious. We definitely found our person for cat watching and dog sitting!”

“Taylor was a great fit for my skittish mini aussie. I scheduled a drop in with me present for there introduction since he is a bit wary of new people and he took an immediate liking to her! The first two days of her service he was standoffish but she was very patient with him and built up a sense of trust and by day three he was behaving as though she was an old friend. Thanks again for your help and patience with my timid pup!”

“Flannery is the best. Scroll through and you will see other reviews that we have left. We feel so much better leaving town now that we have Flannery to call on. Our attention hungry old cat loves her!”

“Elle is punctual and communicative. She sent updates and pictures! My chihuahua is shy and barky with new people and she took to Elle quickly.”

“Excellent experience with Hannah. Will definitely book with her again!”

“Grace did an excellent job with my boy, even with a few challenges along the way. She communicated well, and truly went above and beyond my expectations.”

“Sonja is the best! I’m so happy I found her! She visited my cat pickles daily, took care of her AND did all of her favorite things every day. She sent a summary and pictures each day. Pickles herself gave Sonja a GLOWING review when we got home (14 out of 10). They are besties now. My kitty is so happy and comfortable and very well taken care of! I am so grateful my baby was in the best hands.”

“Kayli was a lifesaver and an amazing help for my boys!! They loved her and she went above and beyond to accommodate my little critters! I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future if she is still available and willing to watch my fur babies again. Thank you so so much Kayli!!!”

“Awesome experience! Will use Anna again!”

“I have known Laurel for years, I have watched her care for her own animals and she has pet sat and housesat for me. My pets have been happy and healthy and my home well cared for after I have left them in Laurel‘s care. I can heartily recommend Laurel as a responsible, compassionate individual who will take good care of your animals.”

“My husband and I have known Ruby and her family for many years. They were our closest neighbors and we have enjoyed knowing Ruby and her many pets all those years. Ruby is a kind and thoughtful pet owner who has wide experience with dogs and cats of several breeds as well as other animals. She has on several occasions taken thoughtful care of our pet family members. We have a blind dog who is a bit skittish and Ruby has always been kind and thoughtful with his care. She has also had much experience caring for birds, rabbits and other small animals. Her quick response to care for our pets when I was hospitalized and my husband was out of town was a life saver for all of us! I would not hesitate to have Ruby care for any animal as I am sure she would do so in a kind way and follow closely any directions for medications or other special care.”

About: I started dog walking for neighbors in 2001 and continued to do so off and on for a decade. I pet sit for my neighbors in 2011 in exchange for the wifi password. I have a one-story apartment with a partially fenced yard and lots of natural light. I am one of those people who 100% crawls around on all fours to play with animals, regardless of my scoliosis. I have a relatively set sleeping schedule so the pets who board with me will have some sort of consistent structure for however long they are with me. I have a series of beds from a previous pet as well as a baby gate for sunny days and a set of stairs for my bed if needed for older/special needs animals. I work a full-time job that is a 10-minute drive from my place and the lunches are 30 minutes long. This works well for boarding since they will never have to be alone for more than 4.5 hours. I have Fridays and Saturdays off and I like to use them for Adventure Days. The manager for my apartment complex is aware that I am a pet sitter and will be informed when there are pets in my apartment. Though this information is not relevant to the animals, it is relevant to my emotional wellbeing: my pronouns are they/them/theirs. Thank you for being an ally!

“Maycee is truly a lover of animals! She has such a sweet dog named Rooster and 2 dogs, Faye and Dan at her parent’s house. She grew up with dogs so she has always loved them. She even memorized and did research on all the different dog breeds! She’s always taking Rooster on little adventures, like finding cool river spots or pretty hikes. She also has 2 cats at her parent’s house and is an amazing aunt to my 3 cats! Your animals would be in amazing hands with Maycee.”

“Ava was great with Skye. Sadie our dog warmed up to her right away too when we first met Ava. The pictures were great to see which she took every time she had a visit.”

“Lindsay was an absolute joy to have as a dog sitter. She’s laid back, accommodating, easy to work with, responsive and friendly. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable person to care for their pets!”

“Lynn is AMAZING. Our kitty plays hard to get and Lynn was patient and won her affection. She takes her time and adapts to the animal. Could not be more happy with her care. Highly recommend!”
