About: Growing up, my family always had a dog. We have owned all different kinds from a Chinese Shar-Pei to a Mastiff to a Shih Tzu. After I finished school at Brigham Young University in Idaho for Health Science I missed having a furry friend so I got my own. One turned into 3 over the last decade and they are each spoiled. Now that I am marrieds and we have a set up for our dogs to be fairly self-reliant I would love to aliveiate that stressful feeling for others being away from their animals while getting the joy of playing with some sweet pups. Currently, I work from home so as long as there is Internet, I can be home with dogs or cats 24 hours a day. However, if I am away from my own home and animals for more than two days, I will need to leave briefly to ensure my dogs have water and food in there automatic feeders. At my home, I do have a fenced yard and a dedicated space for additional animals. With that additional space, I am able to set up a place for them to sleep away from my animals in the home.
About: I have lived with dogs my whole life so I know the responsibility of taking care of them. I have had wiener dogs, to chihuahuas, to a lab shepherd mix in my homes snd even cared for a reactive dog and rescued him from the pound. Bonds with humans and dogs are so special so I know how hard it can be to leave them with people. That’s where I come in. I want to make your dog feel like they are at their home away from home! I can give them meds, cuddle them, take them on nice walks and give all the attention while they also get a good nights rest. You can trust your pups are in good hands! I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes or special care doggies. They all deserve to be loved and taken care of! I look forward to talking with you and meeting your fur baby! I’m currently working a full time job in Woodland from 7:30-4:15. However I can come home on my lunch to take care of them and get them outside and love on them at night! I make sure they are apart of the family of course! Love on them while me and my husband are watching our shows or movies, and my daughter is playing with her toys! With care and reliability as well.
“Finley really enjoys his walk with Rosalyn. He comes back exhausted which is what I want, since he’s a puppy with an uncontrollable amount of energy! Rosalyn is very kind and compassionate!”
“Our girls had a fun time on their walk! Tanaisa is friendly and clearly great with dogs — all smiles on their Rover report card/picture! Clear communication with updates made coordinating their walk easy. Literally going right back on to rebook more walks!!!”
About: Hello! I grew up with chickens, ducks, and pigeons (along with my siblings!). I currently have 3 cats and they are my favorite part of every day. I absolutely adore cats and firmly believe in full bellies and clean litter boxes! I have raised two kittens, adopted an adult feral cat, have experience with hyperthyroid cats/medicating them 2x daily. I have also had a dog from puppy to adulthood. I love hiking with dogs, enjoy walking dogs around the neighborhood, playing fetch, and taking them swimming. And yes, I will absolutely take your dog for a 1-8 mile hike or walk if that's something you're interested in! I promise to take great care of your pets and send daily photos (you can opt out of photos). Thanks! My day-to-day varies. I am generally available in the mornings before 8am and in the evenings after 3-5pm on weekdays. Weekends are available and will absolutely work with advanced notice! I enjoy walking dogs and making sure they get quality exercise and attention. I took my dog on frequent walks, hiking, swimming, and to the park. I am a huge fan of hiking with dogs! I also love cats and frequently do drop-ins. Depending on the cat I sometimes bring a book and cuddle. I will give your cat(s) as much or as little attention as they seek. Just let me know what you're looking for and I'll try my best to help you and your family.
About: I've always had a soft spot for animals since I can remember. I now have the privilege to be a vet tech assistant as my job, and it has been the most rewarding thing ever. In the 2.5 years that I have been doing this, I have learned so much and has elevated my confidence in animal care. I'm more than confident to medicate pets (including injections, subcutaneous fluids, transdermals, ect) and offer Fear Free adjacent handling and care.

I can accommodate morning check ins on all other weekdays and evening check ins on Sundays. I like to think I'm very thorough with my care. Monitored outside time, crating as needed, following rules and directions as needed. I'm happy to accommodate any needs, directions and rules.
About: I've cared for four elderly dogs in those years. My mom's dog with kidney failure and special food requirements. Grandmother's dog with paralyzed back legs needing to be washed now and then when she had potty accidents on herself. My neighbors two dogs one old and one round. The older one was a fragile deer head chihuahua having no teeth. I cut wet food up small enough so she could eat and put her carefully into a sweater to take her potty out in the cold weather. The younger was another chihuahua with bladder problems kept peeing every two hours all over. Currently I'm open from whenever and can come stay with pets during daylight hours if need be.im available all days of the week. I'm open to discussing needed times and hours for care.

About: As a lifelong dog enthusiast, I bring a wealth of experience in responsible handling and meticulous management. I am adept at accommodating mild to moderately reactive pups with prey drive, leveraging my expertise in managing driven dogs. During their stay, our focus will be on fostering good manners and promoting indifference towards other pets. My training style is rooted in positive reinforcement, balanced with fair corrections when needed. For housetrained dogs, they are welcome to roam freely in our home and enjoy family life alongside us. For those still in training, I use structured routines with crates and xpens to support successful house manners. I’ve been passionate about dogs since childhood - reading breed encyclopedias, learning behavior theory, and training our family dogs and even the neighbor's dog. At the age of 7, I honed my skills by training my Springer Spaniel in advanced obedience and an array of entertaining tricks, culminating in a captivating performance at my elementary school's talent show. I competed in dog 4-H through my youth, earning high placements in local fair obedience trials. As an adult, my focus has shifted to shepherd breeds, particularly my titled working line German Shepherd. With a broad understanding of different breeds and their needs, I also enjoy helping others find the right dog for their home and lifestyle. Our property includes chickens and other animals, so promoting respectful manners and calm coexistence is always a priority. As a full time homemaker, I’m home nearly all day, every day. Your pet will enjoy plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout their stay. In my care, safety, trust, and providing a calm, structured environment are top priorities. We live in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor playtime. I incorporate daily walks into each pet’s routine, and our area is perfect for that - complete with sidewalks, quiet streets, and nearby parks. Crates and xpens are used as needed to maintain a peaceful, secure environment. Whether in my home or a client’s, I’m committed to creating a safe, nurturing space where pets feel comfortable and cared for.

Rylee Z.
“Rylee is one of the most caring and loving people I’ve met when it comes to dogs and animals in general. I’ve never seen a dog she didn’t love and adore. She’s sees the beauty and cuteness in every dog. As a mater of fact, my standing with her is that she could see Kujo walking down the street and all she would do is rave about how cute and sweet he is, that’s Ryle”

My dog might love going for hikes with Linda more than she does with me. She also is a major cat lover. She has experience with cats of every age with giving medication to senior cats. Definitely recommend Linda for dog or cat care!”
Gabrelle W.
“Gabby truly is the best. I highly recommend her to anyone who loves their dogs. I love how she cares so much about my four legged friend Moses. Gabby goes the extra mile to keep me informed on how Moses is doing after each walk. Moses is a rescue 3 yr old pit who requires a lot of attention, love and care for he is afraid of his own shadow at times. I would highly recommend Gabby highly to anyone who is looking for someone who is willing to assure your dogs safety, comfort and needs are met. ”

Veronica L.
“I had to leave for 30 days and entrusted my two pups and my new kitten to Veronica, who did a fantastic job caring for them. She house-sat and took excellent care of my pets for a month, maintaining constant contact with me. Veronica regularly took my dogs to the dog park, ensuring they got plenty of exercise, and she bonded so well with my kitten that the kitten wanted to go home with her. She also watered my plants. I'm planning another long work trip and will definitely hire her again. She is wonderful, and I highly recommend Veronica for all your pet-sitting needs! Thank you SO much again Veronica!”
