“James was very flexible with meeting up to see the pups and communicated well during the whole weekend. I was lucky to find him at the last minute and am so appreciative of the care he provided to my pups! Would highly recommend!”


“Erin is amazing! Our dog Stoney and 2 goats love her. When we had another sitter cancel on us last minute, Erin was available and jumped right into learning the ropes of our home and animals. Our dog gets so excited to see her when she comes over. I also really appreciate the open communication and pictures sent daily. She has given us a sense of relief knowing our pets are in good hands. She also always leave the house clean!”


“Alice was great! She made our nervous dog and cat feel comfortable and when we came back you could tell they had been well cared for. We would highly recommend her!”


“Flexible, communicated, sent photos and allowed me to never have a doubt that my pup was enjoying his time or taken care of. 10/10 and would book again”


“Brandon stayed with our senior pups for an overnight trip. He was very communicative and sent photos to let us know how our old boys were doing throughout the stay! It was our first time leaving them and I was nervous to do so, but Brandon’s updates put my mind at ease. He followed all our instructions and gave them their medications. When we returned, the dogs were happy and healthy and our house looked great! Looking forward to having Brandon back for a longer stay.”


“Tiara was an outstanding sitter. She was so kind and generous with Rita. Our pup really liked her and interacted well with her. Tiara followed all our instructions regarding her care and went above and beyond to ensure our poodle was safe and happy. We have no problem recommending Tiara to any other dog owners, in fact we have already booked her again for a future trip.”


“Kendra went above and beyond taking care of our pets and our home while we were on vacation. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter, we came home to a clean house and happy pets! Great communication.”


About: I love dogs so much. Dogs always take interest in me out of people in groups. I have had 4 dogs throughout my life and loved loving them, taking them on walks, playing with them, and just being around them. I just graduated this past year and so I don’t have a job yet but I will hopefully this fall but for now, i’m free full time! While taking care of your pets I would always be around them. I’d make sure they are safe and eating when needed, going on walks and plenty of potty breaks!

“Peter was truly outstanding! He took incredible care of our pups and house, was communicative and incredibly trustworthy. He went above and beyond walking our two dogs, brushing them and playing with them daily. I would recommend Peter to anyone! Will absolutely be asking him to watch our pups again!”


“Isabella is a very good housesitter for my lab and two cats. She agreed to go a 3 week housesitting job for us and she did a fantastic job while we were away, leaving our worries behind. I am 100% confident that Isabella is lovingly caring for my pets and keeping my house up as well including watering plants and taking the garbage out. I would recommend Isabella without hesitation.”

About: I've been taking care of pets for my family and friends for a long time. I love animals and I love taking care of them. I am currently working full time from 8am-4:30pm Mon-Fri. I can starting working after 5 and I am free on the weekends. I know I would be a great fit for being a pet sitter. I will come to the house to feed the animals and play with them and making sure that they are in good hands. With my pets, I make sure they are being well taken care of and being loved everytime. I also have pet insurance on each of my pets.

About: I have 3 dogs ranging from 1-10 1/2 years of age. We have done the puppy stage three times so I’m used to that and willing to help. I know how stressful it can be if you need to go out of town and still have a puppy at home that needs a little more attention, let me help you with this! I’m not afraid of any dogs I just need to meet them first before agreeing to a job just so that we know it’ll be a good fit. I’m currently working full time 12 hr days. So I will not schedule myself when I’m working unless of course this works for you. I’m just looking to see if I can help some people while they travel or need someone to come and check on their pets while they are away. I currently live on 2.5 acres so having dogs come to my house will not be a good fit. We have 3 dogs and sometimes sit for family and friends and their dogs come over and we closely watch them while outside so they don’t venture off into the woods. Right now I’m just looking to see if I can help with checking in on pets or walking them or even possibly house sitting if need be. I know how important routine and familiarity is important so I would like to meet the pets with the owners before agreeing to a job and this way we can make sure the pets are comfortable with me and also we can go over dos and don’ts with your pets.

About: I will take the time to take care of your pets! I’m a single mom of a 6 year old so she will be coming around with me but she is respectful of animals and has been around them her whole life! Please reach out we would love to help assure the animals are cared for! I’m currently in a down period for my main job so I have a pretty available schedule till late August. I also have a cat so I do already have habits for taking care of animals I would care for them as if they were my own but also follow any rules that the actual owner may have in place. Feed, water and take them outside when the time is needed.

About: I currently work M-F 8-5 in Longview, WA. What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my deep understanding of dogs at every life stage — whether it’s playful puppies, high-energy adult dogs, or gentle senior pups. I take the time to tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs and personality. Beyond basic sitting, I prioritize exercise, mental stimulation, and affection, ensuring your dog feels loved and comfortable while you’re away. I’m committed to keeping your pet happy, safe, and stress-free during their time with me! I make sure to maintain a consistent routine for feeding, medication (if needed), and bathroom breaks to provide a sense of stability for your pet while you're away. Whether it’s for a few hours or a longer stay, I treat each pet’s care with the same dedication and attention that I would give to my own dog, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and minimizing any stress. I maintain your pet’s usual schedule for walks, meals, and playtime, ensuring they feel secure and comfortable. I also provide companionship and keep your home tidy, handling any additional needs such as administering medication or light housework. I’ll always make sure your pet has everything they need and that they feel loved and cared for until you return.

About: All my life I have had pets, dogs, cats, hamsters, and even a ferret named Simba. I have had two dogs from puppy to seniors and reaching the rainbow bridge. I have two labs now and some farm animals. My husband and I have raised two boys and he is retired and we are just wanting to do something on the side we love to stay busy. I work from home or anywhere so I can stay with your pets in the safety of their own home or they are welcome to stay with us on the farm as long as they get along with other dogs. I cannot board cats however due to my dogs lack of exposure. In your home I would keep them close to their usual routine and make sure all their needs are met and patiently comfort their anxiety over missing you. In my home we have over an acre of fenced area perfect for dogs to run and play. I again would accommodate their schedules and give lots of love and attention. We have baby gates that keep pets with us in living area. If they are used to sleeping with humans I am totally okay with that, whatever they prefer.

About: I've had dogs all my life! I love any kind of dog and have 2 of my own. My dogs are my furbabies and are completely part of the family, and yours will be too! I love playing, hiking, walking, going to dog parks and really anything else having to do with dogs. Rest assured your pup will be in great hands when they're with me! I work from home full-time, so I will always be available to your pet for any and all snuggles and potty breaks. I am in the Ariel/Cougar area, so I can freely accommodate this area, plus Woodland, Amboy, Yacolt and possibly Battle Ground. Am able to stay with dogs, walk, play, feed, administer meds, etc. If you have any questions, let me know! I look forward to meeting you and your dog! :) Working from home allows me to be with your dog 24-7 or if you need my services from your home for an extended period of time I can work from your house too!😄 I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space to roam and play. I also have my dogs who would love to tire yours out! Arden especially!
