House Sitting Cook

“Libby was fantastic and kept our animals company and our house tidy. She even washed the sheets before she left! Would definitely work with her again.”

“Raenell did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. She stayed in communication prior to the stay to prepare and remained in communication while we were away. We had to unexpectedly extend our trip and she was able to accommodate the extension. We are very grateful to know our pup is in good hands.. .”

About: I began housesitting during the pandemic, just for a change of environment, but over time I’ve really come to enjoy it. I’ve previously worked in a pet boarding facility, so I have lots of experience in getting animals to eat, administering medications, and cleaning up after them! I’ve seen quite a bit. Currently doing a couple different odd jobs (this totally being one of them). I always try to spend a lot of time with the animal I’m caring for, sitting with them and allowing them to relax with me in the home. I always stay over with the animals. I strive to maintain the already established schedule, and not add any extra stress for the animals by disrupting their routine. I also like the take the dog for adventures when applicable, hikes or trips to the marina!

“Callae was prompt and polite. She took very good care of my Shayla and was respectful of our space. I would love to use her again when we are in her area.”

“I can't say enough good things about Beth! We were in a bind when we found out our pup may need surgery for a torn ligament just a day before our week long trip, and Beth stepped in to help us with such grace and professionalism. She took the time to understand our dog's special needs and ensured he was comfortable and cared for while we were away. Beth provided regular updates, sending us photos and messages that put our minds at ease. It was clear she genuinely cares for animals and is dedicated to providing the best care possible. We can't thank her enough for her kindness and expertise. We highly recommend Beth to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!”

About: I have lived with animals my whole life, and now live with my best friend Bean the female German Shorthair Pointer, who loves to play with other dogs. I have experience with all types of animals and have spend years watching and learning to train my friends dogs and my own. I love connecting with new animals and learning from their excitement of the world. I am an active person and would love to take your dog on walks, and hikes. I would love to talk more about your needs for your best friend and how I can accommodate those! I work part time, and when I am not working I am I out playing in nature with my pup, skiing and hiking and more I have a fenced yard and my dog loves to play with other dogs. We like to go to the dog park and on hikes

“Skye was terrific to work with. She was on time for our meet and greet, and Raffi loved her! She sent pics a couple of times each day, she left the house the way she found it, and took wonderful care of our sweet pup. It was Raffi's first time away from us since we adopted her a couple of months ago, and Skye was sensitive to the need for Raffi to feel loved and have consistency in her "care and feeding". We don't go away without our dogs very often, but when we do, Skye will be our first contact. Thank you Skye!”

About: I recently moved to the Gorge from Asheville, NC, and I am so excited to meet you and your pups! My deep love for animals began at a very young age. Growing up, I was surrounded by pets of all shapes and sizes -from dogs and cats to farm animals, reptiles, and birds. That lifelong passion led me into a rewarding career in animal care. I have been a full-time professional dog groomer and daycare/boarding specialist for the past 20 years. I also have experience at a veterinary emergency center. In my free time, I would volunteer to walk shelter dogs. I understand that every dog is unique. Over two decades, I have developed extensive experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I specialize in a slow, patient approach for nervous or shy dogs who need extra reassurance, and I am highly experienced in administering necessary medications. I treat every pet like family. My very first dog, an Airedale mix, lived to be 16 and a half years old. She had a long, beautiful life that I attribute to deep love, care, and proper attention. I bring that same standard of love and dedication to every animal I meet. I look forward to meeting you! I am currently a stay at home mom and we enjoy walking and hiking every day! Your pet will be included in everything! I understand some dogs enjoy lazy days too and I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I usually begin my morning with a walk and end it with one before bed. I am available to stay at your home or mine. I base this by whatever will make your pet feel the most comfortable. I have a friendly dog named Gator who misses playing with dogs while I worked at the grooming salon so bad, so I’m sure he’d be excited to join! We love going to the Bingen point “ dog park,”walking around the neighborhood near Daubenspeck park, Catherine creek, North Western, b.z falls, and the klickitat trail!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for pets has always been second nature to me. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience, I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs. Over the years, friends and family have consistently trusted me to care for their pets as if they were my own—whether that means daily walks, overnight stays, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship and love. I take pride in being a dependable, compassionate sitter who creates a calm, safe, and happy environment while you’re away. I have a 4-yr old dog now named, Buckaroo, who is amazing with a majority of dogs. I work remotely for Aya Healthcare, a nurse and Locums management company. I am free to get away to walk your pet, or even stay at your place overnight and work from there. Plenty of schedule flexibility. I provide personalized, attentive care based on each pet’s routine and the specific service requested. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help reduce stress. I ensure a safe, clean environment, give plenty of affection and exercise, and closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully, including administering basic medications if needed. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.

“We were happy to find Tanya to help us out while we went out of town for a few days. She did a great job taking care of our two cats who require some human attention - they run the house. ;) Tanya handled everything with ease and we would love to have her cat / house sit again.”

“Neveah was great! She took great care of the dogs, communicated clearly, and was flexible when we had some flight issues. We would definitely book with her again.”

About: I've owned dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for and training them. I currently have well-trained hunting dogs, and my German Shorthaired Pointer is my best friend and constant adventure buddy. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I take pride in providing patient, attentive care. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with good company, I'll treat them with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. I work a part time job in the evenings, the earliest I start is 2, sometimes 4 or 5 and I’m off around 9 and headed straight home! When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I'll make sure they stay on their regular feeding, walking, and potty schedule while giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I'm experienced with dogs of all energy levels, including active breeds, and I'm comfortable administering basic medications if needed. I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own—keeping it clean, secure, and following any instructions you provide. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

“This is the first time Evelyn has done a sit for me, and I couldn't be more pleased. For 8 days she lived in my home and took care of my rambunctious Doberman. She texted me daily with information about how he was doing, notified me when she had questions or concerns, responded promptly to my texts/calls, provided Maestro with the agreed-upon food and medications, and took good care of my home as well. I will definitely be using her in the future.”

About: I currently have a pup of my own who I have been training. She still has work to do. I have spent years prior to that being the house/animal sitter back home in West Virginia. I work part time. I am a teacher during the school year. In the summer I just work 5 hours 2 days a week at a local winery. I usually walk/bike my dog every morning before work. On days I do not, I try to get her out on a longer walk or swim when the weather is really hot. I have a very flexible schedule in the summer to fit in other animals. I am pretty vigilant when it comes to my own dog. I try to make sure she gets plenty of exercise. She needs it. I love getting her socialized with older and younger dogs. I have even taken my pup to school with me to socialize best with my students are blind. I would follow the care needs set forth by the dog/cat parents. Please be sure to give special instructions if needed.

“Robin was super easy to communicate with. Warm and loving. She updated us about our two dogs. We have an older one, who needs To move slow and a younger, big baby, with lots of energy. She took time to meet both of their needs. Thanks Robin!”

“I don’t even know where to begin. My husband and I rarely go on trips together. We have three dogs, they are all different ages with different care levels, and finding someone to care for them has always been challenging. Our family planned to go on an Alaskan cruise, and we decided to join them. We reached out to Karen and she was SO responsive. She got back to us quickly and agreed to do a meet and greet. Our dogs LOVED her immediately. We have a 6 year old street dog whom we rescued from Mexico. He is very sweet but is slow to warm up to people. Within a few minutes of Karen being at the house he was begging her for pets. It was decided right then that Karen would be watching our fur babies. Fast forward a few weeks and we are all lined up and ready to go on our trip. We’ve done a pack walk with Karen and have walked her through their daily needs. Karen is very thorough and wants as much information about your pets as she can get. To make sure everyone was good to go, my husband and I took our senior dog to the vet to get her arthritis shot. We wanted to make sure she would be comfortable while we were gone. At the vet appointment, we got heartbreaking news. Our veterinarian had a difficult and honest conversation with us about our dog’s health and quality of life. Our senior was 19 years old and had started experiencing some cogitative decline and mobility issues. After several long discussions and uncertainty about our pup’s health while we would be gone, we decided it was time to allow our sweet baby to cross the rainbow bridge. We were devastated and, as you could imagine, were experiencing some anxiety and uncertainty about leaving the other two dogs. When we explained to Karen what happened, she provided so much comfort and security. She let us know that there wasn’t any pressure to go on the trip and assured us that if we did, she would make sure our dogs were well loved on. We ended up going to Alaska. During our trip, Karen sent us photos and videos, and made sure to give us daily updates. If we request additional photos or videos, she always sent them no questions asked. She went out of her way to make us feel at ease, and it really helped give us the space and peace of mind to process everything that happened. Having Karen care for our fur babies not only allowed us to go on a family trip, it’s also allowed us to grieve our loss without having to carry the stress of the day-to-day and making sure the other dogs were taken care of. It goes without saying, but we will definitely book with Karen again. If you’re considering hiring Karen for your pets, I highly recommend it. You will be a so happy you did. Thank you Karen. We truly appreciate you, and the love and care you extend to Doodle and Wendi while we were gone.”

“Aislynn was so wonderful. This is our second setter through Rover and have had nothing but great experiences. It was great knowing Millie and Oliver was in safe hands during our day. I would for sure rebook with her again.”
