About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and understand that every pup has their own personality, energy level, and unique needs. I provide dependable, well-rounded care that supports your dog’s routine, whether that means exercise, companionship, playtime, feeding, or simply maintaining a calm, consistent presence while you’re away. I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs who need engagement and structure, as well as shy, anxious, or senior dogs who benefit from patience and a gentler approach. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and environment to ensure every interaction is safe, positive, and tailored to your dog. You can expect reliability, clear communication, and thoughtful updates after each visit. I treat every dog with the same care, attentiveness, and respect I would give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m intentional about creating space in my schedule to provide consistent, reliable visits. I value punctuality and clear communication, and I plan my days to ensure pets receive focused attention rather than rushed drop-ins. Whether it’s weekday visits or weekend care, I aim to be dependable and flexible when possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I respect your space, follow care instructions closely, and maintain your pet’s established routine to reduce stress. I pay close attention to body language, secure doors and gates carefully, and ensure food, water, and litter or waste areas are clean and properly maintained. My goal is to create a calm, consistent environment where your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“Melisa was kind and professional! My dog is often timid and had refused to go out for a walk when I am gone before but Melissa handled it like a champ, was patient and kind, and was able to coax him out of the house. Thank you Melissa!”

“Karli has been great! She has been very flexible with scheduling and my dog Stella just loves her. I have a large breed senior dog and she is very understanding and takes special care on walks. I will also be using her to house sit for my dog in the future as well!”

“Dani is sooo wonderful with my dog. She has separation anxiety and Dani just talks her right thru it. She pays close attention to my dog’s needs and responds accordingly. She’s a treasure!”

About: I have had two dogs almost my whole life. I have pet sat for friends and family, and can provide senior care as well as puppy care! My schedule is very flexible and I am open all summer long! I care for my dogs everyday and love to take them to the park and on long walks! I love to go on walks and to the park to keep active and prefer a pup to come along with me to keep me company!
About: I have owned many pets throughout my childhood. To say what kind of experience I have would take more than 125 words because each pet has their own personality and style and I adapt to exactly what your pets need and want. If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want space, they get space. I’m home almost all day so they will get all the attention they ever want(or the space they need). I aim to make them happy! Non smoke home with a big spacious living room to play or rest in. I’ve been dog walking/pet sitting since I was a teen and miss doing that. I love hiking and anything outdoorsy so I’m always up for being outside as well. If you have any questions please reach out! I’m a stay at home mom so I’ll be able to easily take your pup out on walks and quick potty breaks. We don’t have a fenced yard but have a shared yard out in the back as well as a park nearby. I walk them right before I would leave to run any errands and usually don’t take long. I follow the instructions provided so that its not stressful for the pup as well as the pet owner. I send updates on how the pup is doing and what we’re up to. We go out on walks a lot. If it’s okay with the owner than I take the pup out on a shorter hike with my daughter. I make sure to grab water too! At home we see what kind of personality the pup has because some aren’t as active and would rather cuddle while others like to play play play.
About: I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want to make that easier. I’m a caring and responsible pet owner myself, and I’ve also helped care for friends’ pets while they’ve been away on trips. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll make sure your pets get lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’m currently on summer break, so I have full availability and flexible scheduling for pet sitting. Once I return to school, my availability will adjust, but I’m still able to plan around pet care and communicate my schedule clearly in advance. In my own home, I prioritize safety, routine, and a calm environment for pets. I live in a safe neighborhood and have a large fenced backyard where dogs can play and get exercise. I make sure pets are always supervised, have fresh water, and feel comfortable in their space. I also respect each pet’s routine and needs, and I aim to keep their environment as stress free as possible whether they’re in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home.
“Brittany is very nice. She asked a lot of questions about Micah. Micah really enjoyed his walk and now he’s wore out. Brittany came over last minute which I really appreciate and Micah really liked her. I will definitely be using her again.”

“Audrey did a great job with Tommy, even after he decided not to eat during her first day with him. (It’s not unusual behavior on his part.) She did a great job in keeping us informed and working through food options, one of which eventually worked. She was calm under pressure.”

“Jacob was fantastic. He happily accommodated a meet and greet the week before and my pup immediately liked him. He is friendly and clearly loves dogs. He followed all instructions. Took my dog’s anxieties into account and she was happily tired when I came home at the end of long days. Highly recommend!”

About: I've always had dogs in my family, including several rescue dogs which has been super rewarding. My husband and I have been fortunate to be able to retire early but we are both very active. I want to spend my spare time doing something productive that I love... caring for dogs is a perfect fit! Most of my time is spent at my home and in our back yard. I have 2 dogs that are very social and love spending time with other dogs. They will enjoy having play-dates with your dog(s). I believe that every dog deserves to be valued and loved. I limit the dogs I board to a maximum of 4 dogs at a time in order to ensure that each dog will get proper care and attention. I don't work outside of the home. If I need to run an errand or go shopping, my husband is typically home to care for the digs. Dogs are rarely left alone, but if they are, it is for no longer than 2 to 3 hours. When the weather is nice, we keep the sliding door open so that the dogs can hang out indoor or outdoors, wherever they feel most comfortable. During the colder months we let the dogs out every two to four hours. We don't crate dogs unless that's what they're used to. We allow dogs on our furniture and in our bed.
“Lifesaver! I’m so glad I found Vanessa, I would absolutely recommend to take care of your fur baby. Vanessa has taken care of my little man multiple times and helped me out last minute which I’m super appreciative for.”

About: I have always had many pets in my house. I currently take care of my 3 cats and have 3 dogs at home who i love dearly. I go to school part-time at WWU and work a part-time job. Pet care is the perfect hobby for me because I love animals and spending time with my pets. I walk my dogs regularly and clean litter boxes and food and water bowls, as well as keep my animals happy and cuddled! I also bathe my dogs and groom them. I am happy to provide any extra care and love to your pets!

Haley did a great job walking my border collie! My dog is very high energy and she came back very calm and happy. Haley was very kind to take several adorable photos of her along their walk too. I will definitely request Haley for future walks. Thank you again Haley!
I was in a situation where I thought I was going to be home hours before and I didn’t know what to do. I reached out to Julie and she was able to help me with only a few hours notice. It was such a relief to me, to know that I could reach out in a high stress situation and Julie was there for Mazie.

Halle is wonderful with our dogs and so professional! She was always on time and sent plenty of updates of my happy dogs on their afternoon walk! Having her help us out during the week has been such a stress reliever knowing my dogs are happy and getting the exercise they need. Would absolutely recommend Halle to anyone for dog walking and any care your pets need 🐾

Rachel was wonderful with our doggie Shadow. She came by to meet us first, get familiar with our property, dog, and us. She was always on time, took our dog for long walks in Lincoln Park where he loves going and kept us informed on exact timing, and progress. We will be hiring Rachel to walk our dog through Lincoln park again.

Sarah has been wonderful to work with. She was highly attentive to my pup’s needs and took extra time to make him feel comfortable around her. Sarah communicates clearly and will put your mind at ease by keeping you in the loop. When you book with Sarah, you can rest assured your fur babies are in excellent hands!
