Pet Sitting Deming

About: Years ago my Mother gave me a card. It said, “The more I know men the more I love my dog.” My family has always had dogs and cats too. Once having a discussion with my guy he said, “even the dog ranks higher than me!” A dog is more than a pet. They are a companion who loves unconditionally. Who is ready to play or not. Will always listen and never rejects a belly rub. I genuinely prefer canines over people. Recently read the book “Dog Sense.” There is so much more about these wonderful creatures that it should be required reading before anyone takes on the responsibility of owning a companion. I will give your family member the respect and genuine kindness it deserves. Thank you for your consideration.

“I really appreciated Ryan taking the time to meet our dogs before our first drop in visit. We came home to 2 very happy and settled dogs who didn’t seem to notice that we had been gone for 11 hours. Would definitely use them again when we have to be gone for extended periods of time. Now Ryan knows the dogs love of playing fetch, they might up the ante next time! Thank you again.”

About: Hello! My name is Lauren and I have been taking care of animals on and off since I was a little girl. I have sat for puppies, seniors, cats, dogs, and everything in between. I have a bird and three dogs of my own, including a Saint Bernard. I love animals and I am hoping to get to meet some new ones. Right now, I am home from college in Seattle for the summer. I am currently taking bookings for any day of the week and at any time! Because of my flexible schedule, I am able to take pets on walks/potty breaks as often as needed. I always make an effort to tidy up toys or the home in general before leaving and I am very comfortable crating/feeding/playing with dogs of any size.

“Michael was amazing! He was great with our cats and was so easy to work with! He also went above and beyond with bringing in our packages as well and offered to grab our mail for us. Thanks Michael! We will definitely book with you again!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 11. For years, I have been trusted to care for, walk, feed, bathe, and snuggle all sorts of dogs. l work 8-4 weekdays. However, if your pup requires an afternoon visit I will be available! Just let me know what works best for you and I’ll be happy to make it work! I do currently live in an apartment that has a small yard so I will be able to let them out for potty breaks. There is also a nearby park that will allow for lots of running around time!

“Sophia was very attentive to the needs of my anxious and senior pups. She is great with communication, in time visits and sharing updates with photos. I highly recommend Sophia. Your pets will be in great hands!”

About: I’ve had pets all my life. In my adulthood, I’ve had the pleasure of being a fur mom to a cat and two Australian Shepard’s. I’m experienced in overnight stays, walking schedules, and drops ins. I’m currently just freelancing so I’ll have plenty of time to commit to your pets. I can range anywhere from staying with your pets full time while you’re on vacation, to walking them on a schedule, or just checking in for potty breaks. I can be as flexible as you need me to be! I personally have experience with crating when needed, giving medications, and basic treat training.

About: I will take exceptional care of your pets as animals are my favorite thing in the world. When people ask me what my "passion" is, the only thing that comes to mind is caring for animals. I have taken care of animals since I was a child. I grew up with 4 dogs, 2 rabbits, 2 cats, 2 hamsters, and a bunch of fish. I care so much about animals and their well-being that I will do just about anything for them. Friends, family, and acquaintances have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets. I have done multiple pet sitting gigs, and have even been a reliable farm sitter. I am active and I love being outside. I will run/exercise with your dogs if desired! I am currently transitioning to part-time work, so I will have plenty of time to play with/walk/run your pets! I am free after 5:00 pm and have breaks during the day. I am also available on weekends. I am happy to work something out with you as my schedule is flexible. I am not able to house animals at my house at this time but I am more than happy to watch them at yours! I am a trustworthy pet/house sitter and will follow the rules at your house and clean up after myself and the pets :)

About: Hi I'm Katie! Also known as that British lady! I have owned dogs my entire life, usually always two at a time. I currently have one of my own after losing three elderly dogs in the last few years. I now only have Ernie a chihuahua cross i rescued from Kansas in 2017. I've had experience with various breeds and fostered ex racer greyhounds for a while in the U.K. I also have two indoor/outdoor cats I rescued as kittens from local feral cat litters. I finish work for the Summer in June and can offer drop in services up to three times a day for dogs, cats and smaller furries if you live in the local area, Maple Falls etc. These can be whilst you’re at work to give your beloved pet a potty break or they can be for longer stretches of time while you vacation so you can feel secure your dogs are in their own home safe and comfortable. I can also board dogs in my own home from all over Whatcom county if they are dog/cat/responsible kid friendly. I have a fenced in yard and a very dog friendly house! I finish work for the summer in June and have a lot of availability for both walks, drop ins and boarding! From June 12th my schedule really opens up! I have a fenced yard and a dog friendly home. I have two dog friendly cats who are indoor and outdoor and tolerated living with four dogs and two kids. Dogs are allowed on my sofa and bed but only if you allow that at home… I don’t want to create bad habits!

About: I love animals and just want to make sure your babies are taken care of. I will make sure they are well fed and comfortable. I always make sure that my baby has food and water, I take him out every couple hours at least to make sure he gets his walks, when he is hurt I don’t waste time if it’s something that can’t be fixed with relaxing i make sure I call my vet Your babies safety is top priority. If they don’t get along with others im not going to put them in a situation where that’s going to ever come up.. if they like to be outside im going to make sure they get the outside time

“Marion was very responsive, competent, and reliable! I had a great experience hiring her to walk my dog while on vacation visiting Mt. Baker. I only reached out a few days ahead, but she was flexible and very easy to communicate with. I would definitely hire her again!”

“Lizz is great! She's adaptable to different situations and routines. Our cats were well taken care of during the drop ins that we scheduled with her. Thank you for checking in this weekend!”

About: I have owned and taken care of pets since I was a little kid, ranging from mini Australian shepherds to retrievers, labs and German shepherds. This means I have experience training young puppies and taking care of senior dogs. I also have experience with taking dogs on runs (since I love to run), which helps with high-energy dogs. I love dogs and am more than happy to help other people with pet care since I know finding the right person for the job can be difficult. :) I’m a teacher so this summer I’m earning some extra cash by nannying and dogsitting. I’m available 4-5 days a week including the weekends (and have no problem helping in the early mornings and late nights), so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m very willing to fit multiple in-house visits and dog walking/running into my routine. I care for pets in my clients’ homes so I am skilled in giving all pets the attention they need both inside and outside the home, including playing with them, taking them on walks and runs, or just sitting down and keeping them company depending on the age and needs they require. I take pride in fulfilling all pets’ routines and owners’ expectations.

“Gillian met our pets for a Meet n Greet today. Doggo melted at the sight of her, showed her all the best toys and can't wait for her next visit. Looking forward to it!”

About: I’m a nurse here for the summer and I miss my dogs at home! I’ve been around dogs my whole life from 8 weeks old to senior pups I’m here for the summer with lots of free time between trips both during the week for daily walks or for over night needs Unfortunately I can’t have pets in my home but have taken care of pets in apartments, houses with and without yards and am organized and flexible to your set up!

About: I have a wide range of hands-on experience caring for animals . I’ve worked in barns as a groom, exercise rider, and stable hand, have volunteered at animal sanctuary’s and helped with adoption events and I also gained experience working at a dog and cat daycare and boarding facility. In addition, I’ve cared for many friends’, family members’ pets over the years. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your animals. I’m knowledgeable, reliable, and committed to providing every pet with safe, compassionate, individualized care. I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets and be someone you can count on whenever you need ! I have availability any day of the week and can always work my schedule around you! I’ve always loved animals and as a stay at home mom , I’m looking to make money where it fits I have a duplex like living situation . It’s a one bedroom home with a fenced back yard . The other person on the property owns two dogs as well but the yard is fenced off separately so there’s no contact . I have a 4 yr old German Shepard who’s a saint and has love for every creature:) he’s gentle and good with senior dogs, small dogs, large dogs , cats and anything in between. Respectful of boundaries but it’s also possible to have him go to grandmas house so if your dog doesn’t get along with others, that’s okay too!

“Alena was so sweet with my pup Mochi! She gave her lots of love and attention, made sure she was well exercised, and even worked on the current commands we are teaching. Alena is punctual, safe, and communicative. She is the best dog walker and sitter around!”

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats, and I recently moved to the Bellingham area after spending a little over a year working on the Animal Care Team and as the Social Media Coordinator for Underdog Animal Rescue & Rehab, a nonprofit organization based out of Moab, UT. I am very used to animal care, regardless of the temperament or medical needs of the animal! I have my own form of transportation, and am happy to care for your dog! I only recently moved to the Bellingham area and am currently seeking regular employment, while also working to build a client-base for animal care here on Rover! I cannot take pets into my home as I live in a small studio and am not permitted to have animals other than my own in the space. My dog Pip (small white dog with big ears in my photos) is a very sweet girl who gets along well with other animals, although she can be a bit sassy at first (she’s little, so she makes a point to let other dogs know not to mess with her)! Pip gets a daily walk, either around the property where we rent, in town, or out in nature on a hike! I would be happy to bring your dog(s) along, as long as they d well with other dogs, and are trained on or off leash. I am a bit fan of crate training, but understand that every dog is different and that crates aren’t always the best way for some! Whatever your preference is, I am happy to follow it as long as it is within my moral boundaries!

About: I love animals of all kinds! I grew up with dogs, a rabbit, and a guinea pig. As a professional pet sitter, I will give your pets my full attention and communicate clearly with you throughout. I know how scary it can be as a pet owner hiring a sitter, and I pride myself on being trustworthy and dependable! Most of my professional experience is as a nanny and working with individuals with disabilities, and I bring , empathy, and care to each of my roles. Outside of work, I love getting outside (and walking your pups!), crafting, and cooking! :) I currently nanny part time on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with most shifts being about 6 hrs. Otherwise I am open for pet bookings at all other times! I am comfortable with harnesses, collars, and different leash styles, as well as crates. I am respectful of each home I work in, loving towards each pet, and will communicate with you throughout.

About: I have 4 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to provide walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, a puppy, or a senior dog, I provide dependable care and plenty of attention while you're away. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm available for boarding on weekends and for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and pet sitting on weekdays. I enjoy staying active and love spending time with dogs, whether that means long walks, playtime, or simply providing companionship and care while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment and closely follow each pet's routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. In your home, I treat your space with respect and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
