About: I grew up with taking care of our family pets since the age of 3. Growing up we had dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, rabbits and a pet raccoon that I was in charge of. My job was to feed, clean, walk, brush and just plain love on them. I know how to tend to horses, goats, dogs and other critters that may have an attitude. I will do it in a loving manner though. I will treat your pet as if it were my own. No matter the breed, size or animal I can take care of your family pets. I can do stall clean outs, cage cleanouts, feeding/watering, brushing, milking, riding, walking, cleaning up after. Give me a call or text to help you with your furry family members.

About: Hiya! I’m the quiet attentive home you’ve been searching for—whether for a puppy, a senior dog who requires medications, or a fearful pup who needs peace, or reassurance during the workday. I’m home full-time and have been a certified veterinary technician since 2009, with 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine, behavior, and humane reward based training. I also hold a certification as a Fear Free Practitioner. I’d love to welcome your dog into my home or visit yours and provide whatever they need while you’re away—extra puppy potty breaks, medication administration and monitoring, or simply a calm, loving environment where they’re treated like my own. I keep my home peaceful and serene, so I only host one dog at a time to ensure individualized care and attention. The needs of those under my care are prioritized. I will do my best to accommodate your pets schedules needs. Just let me know how to help! The pets that I keep in my home are prioritized, while your baby is under my care they are treated like my own! Bring whatever makes them feel more cozy

About: I am home during the weeks so I will have lots of time for attention with your fur babies! I love dogs so much and would love to walk, train and watch over yours. I look forward to hearing from you and hope that you think of me, when choosing the best care for your fur baby. My Schedule is open Wednesday through Sunday for dog walks and drop ins! I am very active so I have no issues getting your fur babies out for a leisurely walk. The environment will be your home, or your preferred Dog walking route. If you do not have a preference then we can talk about the neighborhood or I can take them to McCormick park trail if they behave in vehicles well.

“Savannah was such a huge help staying at our place with our dogs while we were away! The dogs loved her and you could tell by how they react to her when she comes by. Will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve been pet/housesitting for the majority of my life! Growing up I was relied on heavily by many. I was consistently approached by family, friends, and neighbors. There were quite a few people that had me as their go-to whenever they needed the help and I made a strong connection with. I always get excited when people ask me to petsit for them! On top of that, I’ve done a lot of volunteer work at animal shelters, including dog walking, cleaning, and playing. I’m currently a SPED Educational Assistant, 8am-3:30pm every weekday at a school in Portland. Anytime around that I am free and willing, but I understand if that is too large a gap in the days as far as house sitting goes. Otherwise, my weekends are entirely free, as well as my summer break! I will accommodate to whatever needs must be met for your pet! I want to make sure your fur baby is completely safe, comfortable and happy with me. Every animal is different and I love to make space for them and learn about what they like, dislike, need, as well as their quirks and personalities. Connection and trust is very important to me.

“Sparkle does a fantastic job caring for my high needs geriatric boxer pitbull. They are trustworthy, very diligent about medical needs, and easy to communicate with.”

Katie B.

“It was a pleasure having Deborah sit with our 14 year old pup Dexter. Deborah quickly responded to our initial inquiry and met with Dex and I shortly afterwards. She communicated the day before her scheduled sit and arrived promptly at an agreed upon time. She asked all the appropriate questions about feeding, Dexter's daily routine, and what she could do to keep him comfortable during our absence. Deborah communicated during her sit to let us know that all was well. We returned to a happy dog and a tidy house. Would recommend Deborah and we will be using her services again.”

Kristie R.

“Marie was amazing!!! I am such a helicopter fur mama but I was quickly assured they were in great hands. Thorough communication, lovely updates, and my pups + kitty were as happy as can be when I came home. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future! Thank you so much Marie! 🙌 Moose, Evie, & Mazzy miss you already! ☺️🐾”

Autumn S.

“Brooklyn did a fantastic job watching our two morkies over a weekend period. We especially appreciated her proactive style of communication, her calm when dealing with any issues, and of course all the pictures of our pups throughout the day while we were away. Would definitely recommend her services and book with her again. Thanks Brooklyn!”

“Danny couldn’t have been better. He was invested on my dog’s habits, routine, and was willing to take the time to really get to know him and take care of him. As long as he allows, Danny will be my first choice.”

About: Lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for puppies, seniors, and high-energy dogs. I provide patient, loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. I currently am working a very flexible job in Vancouver! I have open availability in the mornings, and evenings - and can even drop in mid day if needed! I also live in Kalama - so I am available for lots of locations due to my commute! I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on creating a calm, stress-free environment. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, routines, exercise, enrichment, and lots of one-on-one attention so pets feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I am the certified "Babysitter & Auntie" for all of my friends doggos - and it's become my favorite job! It has also showed me all the different ways dog's need cared for! I try to make sure I am fully aware of all the needs and what their daily routine is to ensure that we have the best time when together!

About: I’ve owned animals since I was 10 and have cared for friends animals while they have been on travel. My animals are my family and are treated as such. I recently retired early and have time to spend at home with animals. Lots of land for exercise and all pets stay inside with me. I live on six acres with two dogs, two mini donkeys, a goat and a horse. The entire property is fenced with a barn and shelter for large animals.

About: I have had a variety of dog breeds my whole life. Mostly rescues across all ages. I have puppy experience as well as senior dog experience. Additionally I have done elder and developmental disability care for people. I believe in honesty, empathy, and compassion for those under my care. I am pursuing a Masters in Social Work and have an internship part time 3x per week (both remote work) , so I would like to fill the rest of my time to support myself financially ❤️ *no school/ internship until August 2026* I am very attentive and keep a close eye on pets at all times. I try and service my clients by appealing to their needs and sensibilities and not my own. Having worked as a caregiver for people with dementia and adults with developmental disabilities has prepared me to be alert and aware at all times.

“Thank you for taking care of Junior! I’m sure he enjoyed the company and having a cuddle buddy. Thank you!”

“James did an awesome job watching our two dogs while we were away for the weekend. He kept us updated, followed all our care notes, and the dogs absolutely loved him. We’d definitely book him again!”

About: I used to work for Waldorf Kennels in Battle Ground and had the opportunity to care for all types of breeds; both large and small. I enjoyed experiencing each of their different personalities and looked forward to making that special connection. Since we have no children at home, it is easy for me to travel to you. So if you are looking for someone to watch your lovies in your home, I am flexible and open to help make things convenient. While you are away I will ensure your pet a clean & tidy environment while in my home. We live out in the country so your pets will love experiencing all the smells of nature! Their stay will be filled with walks and tons of investigating! I can administer medications, take pets to the vet, train/work with your pets as well as bathe if requested/needed. Upon meeting, my hopes are that you will feel assured that your pet is in good hands and you will be able to get on with planning your trip/vacation. My husband and I are retired so we have an open and flexible schedule. Frequent walks and potty breaks are just a part of our daily routine. Each pet is welcomed as part of the family and treated with respect and love. I understand that your pets will be off their regular routine and missing you, so I commit to spend quality time with them while they acclimate to the change.
