About: Hi! I work as a Paraeducator at a school, so I have summers off and I can’t think of a better way to spend that time than caring for dogs! I’ve always been an animal lover, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup needs playtime, snuggles, walks, or just a calm and caring presence while you’re away, I’m here to help! ☺️ My schedule is pretty open during the Summer besides spending every other weekend with friends and family. Once I go back to work in September, I will only be able to house sit as long as it is in reasonable distance from my workplace. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or favorite toys and treats. I know every pet is different, so I pay attention to their personality and comfort level, whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed. I will also make sure to keep the home clean and secure while you’re away. I’ll give updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is always to treat your home and your pet with the same respect and love I would want for my own.

About: I have had over 15 years of small and large dog experience. I have worked in kennels so I have experience with handling several temperament types. Safe and compassionate Care is my number one concern! I'm currently going to school to finish my bachelors in science of nursing part-time online so I am home the majority of the week. I can provide around the clock care. I have a fenced backyard that attaches to my house and a large carport area that is covered. The yard is clean and grass is cut short. Everything is secure and checked regularly. I have three extremely dog friendly long hair Dachshunds.

About: I have lived with many different animals my whole life and have taken care of more than just my own. I have cared for friends', previous roommates' and family members' animals. Each one has quickly found me to be like a secondary owner. Of all the animals that I've cared for (birds, cats, dogs, rats, ferrets, and more) i found that I like cats, dogs, and ferrets to be the most fun and rewarding. Though I love all animals! I even make it a habit to feed and play with stray animals. I wish to bring them all home, but my apartment doesn't allow pets. Allow me to care for your pets while you're away and I'll make sure that they are happy and healthy while they await your return home. I'm currently pregnant so I'm taking some time to myself. Meaning I'm free all day every day. I'm more or a night owl, but will care for your animal whenever needed. I am very literal and follow orders to the letter. I will never do anything that you the owner haven't said is OK or not. If I have any questions I will not hesitate to contact you. The person who knows more about their animal is you the owner, so I will look to you for guidance. Want to make sure that each and every animal receives the same treatment that you give!

“Chelsie went above and beyond taking care of my dog. I know my dog felt cared for and loved her walks. Chelsie always took pictures and updated me with notes. That meant so much to me. She was reliable and punctual. She gave my dog a great experience and I feel super grateful to her. Thank you Chelsie.”

“Rebecca was great! I asked for her help with dog walking since I work at home I don’t have all the time to dedicate.Not only did she walk them but she also work with my dogs on some training. I felt like she really knew what she was doing. She gave me a lot of photos and videos so I felt super secure about what happened during the walk. She also provided me with an update on how to walk went.”

About: I've had my own dogs & cared for neighborhood pets since I was a child. I love to cook, and enjoy making healthy treats from a veterinarian's own cookbook for healthy dog recipes. My preferred veterinarian is Mercy Vet on Mercer Island because of their holistic approach to veterinary care. If you do not have a veterinarian, this is who I would go to in the event of an emergency. I'm gentle and soft spoken but also firm when I need to be. I'm able to administer medication if your dog is on meds. I'm good with puppies or seniors, and everything in between! When I'm with your four legged family member you can rest assured that they are well taken care of and are not bored. There is no breed I won't take, as long as they are not a safety concern. I am dedicated 100% to my canine clients. Walking, playing and cooking for them is what I do! I consider this my calling, my passion and my career. When I have canine guests, We walk four times a day. I have toys galore and dog brushes if they like being brushed. I prepare home cooked meals, unless they are on a specific type of food or diet. I administer oral meds when necessary. All sofa and dog bed covers are laundered weekly at a minimum, and/or after each guest goes home. I will update you daily with photos and video of your pup's day.

About: I have owned dogs for 11 years now, and still counting. I have pet sat and dog walked for many people; I have experience with different dog sizes, personalities, and training techniques, and have used that knowledge to better my skill set. I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant, and have the training to preform any basic medical tasks, should your pet require it. I have also worked with cats, horses, exotic animals and livestock in the past. I am currently working part time form home, so your pets will have plenty of playtime. I am available for boarding or home-visits, depending on your pet's individual needs. I have a large farm for your furry friends to run around on. If in your home, I am very comfortable with yard play, leashes, and crates.

About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs since I was a kid. Once I turned 15 I started pet sitting for family, neighbors and family friends. I live in Chehalis and I work for a Washington state agency in Tumwater. My schedule is 9am-5pm. If needed I can check on or take animals to the bathroom on my hour lunch break at 12. I’m flexible with anything as long as I have a good amount of notice. My family has 3 cats and 1 dog. My pets have helped me learn how to handle different personalities in animals, as well as teaching me to be more patient.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life and always put them first. I was always taking the dogs for walks feeding them and ect. Pets have a special place in my heart. I have also volunteered for a local zoo. Taking care of animals is a passion I am currently excepting anytime any day requests spring is here and I know you can't stay home all the time. So go out and have fun. I have one family dog at the moment. I live near the beach so that's always a fun time with the dogo. I am a bunch of fun for the dogs.

About: As an experienced dog sitter, I go beyond basic care by truly understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have a natural ability to read their body language and adapt to their moods, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medications, following specific dietary plans, or providing enriching playtime and walks, I tailor my approach to each dog’s routine. My calm and attentive demeanor helps even the most anxious dogs feel at ease, and I maintain clear communication with pet owners for peace of mind. Having cared for my own senior Pomeranian, Zeus, until he was 14, I am particularly attuned to the special needs of older dogs, including administering medications and adjusting routines for their comfort. I currently have an year and a half year old Yellow Labrador Retriever named cooper, so well experienced with puppies I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or just extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to be there consistently. I love getting outside for walks and making sure dogs stay mentally and physically happy while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, energy levels, and temperaments, including senior dogs and puppies. I always keep a close eye during walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment.

About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life—caring for them isn’t just second nature, it’s something I truly love. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’ve spent years helping out neighbors by watching their pets while they were away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply being a calm and comforting presence, I bring attentiveness and compassion to every pet I care for. Recently, my husband and I welcomed a rescue dog, Grim, into our family through Oregon Dog Rescue. He is the goofiest, sweetest boy and has been an incredible addition to our home. Grim gets along exceptionally well with other dogs and people, and we have never once had an incident with him. He is well-behaved, trained, and truly enjoys the company of other pets. Having a dog who is so gentle, social, and adaptable allows me to confidently provide a safe, calm, and welcoming environment for any pets in my care. What sets me apart is my deep emotional connection to animals, my reliability, and my ability to pick up on each pet’s unique needs. I don’t just watch your pet—I make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I am currently going to school full time at WSU completely online. Other than that, I am not working right now so this gives me the opportunity to have a lot of free time! I can complete my school work from anywhere with my laptop. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and creating a safe, loving space for them is something I take seriously. I live on 10 acres of private property, giving your dog plenty of room to explore in a peaceful, secure environment. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I care for each dog as if they were my own—offering calm companionship, routine, and individualized attention. I can easily accommodate crate-trained pups or provide a cozy space for rest, and I always follow your preferences to ensure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.

“Alright... where to begin! Brian did a wonderful meet and greet with my boys (two newfoundlands) and walked them today without me..that may seem like a strange thing to say but Byron (my younger boy) refuses to go on a walk for anyone but me - not even my husband! He was perfectly fine on going on the walk with Sinjin (my older boy) and Brian. No temper tantrums, no refusal to walk. NONE of it. Brian took them on a good walk, they had fun and their were no problems.”

“Alisha has been the best with our high-needs part-husky, Zorra! Great communication, worked us into her schedule when both my husband and I started having knee/back issues. Alisha made fast friends with Zorra and it's great to see our dog so happy and excited to go walkies, and so happy and tired when she returns. We highly recommend Alisha!”
