“Tori, we can’t say thank you enough for how you loved on our animals and cared for our home! To come home to having chores done that you weren’t asked to do was such a huge help after a long weekend away. Our dogs weren’t overly hyper when we got back, which told us that when you were with them you made sure they were well loved, entertained and exercised. Anyone who hires you to care for their pet is lucky to have you in their home. If we need a dog sitter in the future you will be the first person we contact. Thank you endlessly.”


“Joseph was a wonderful sitter for our puppy! He learned about and followed her routines, spent lots of quality time with her to build a relationship, and even worked with her on training. We’ll definitely book with him again!”

“She was wonderful with my dogs. We got her for a last minute booking and am so happy I found her. Hopeful to use her again in the future. Dogs were happy when we got home and house was well maintained. Thank you so much Lauren.”
“Anna was very communicative & professional. My puppy can be a timid when meeting new people, and she took the time to make him feel comfortable. She sent video and photo updates throughout her housesitting. I highly recommend Anna.”

“I was very happy and relieved to have Lou stay with my cat at my house for five nights. Lou has a thoughtful sunny personality that I immediately felt comfortable with. Will definitely be planning to have this lovely person part of my vacation sitting needs in the future!”

“Mikaela was amazing, she was very well informed about dogs and she was able to care for our pet in the best way possible - including walking her, playing with her and feeding her. We would definitely hire her again.”

“Austyn was incredible and gave us complete peace of mind over the weekend when we were away. Plenty of pup pics and updates along the way, and we came home to a spotless house.”

About: I grew up in 4-H and FFA raising and showing all sorts of livestock. Dogs always being a major part of it. I have had the pleasure of taking care of dogs from puppy stages to an acient 16 yr old pug and understand the different responsibilities that come at each stage. I love all animals and will do my absolute best to build the necessary bond with each and every pet I come across. I currently own a border collie who is amazing! I work full time M-F 8am to 4pm with necessary breaks to take my dog out. I work from home most of the week. I am also very flexible, let me know what you need and I am sure we can figure something out. I have a large unfenced yard. I take my dog out at least once a day for no less than an hour. I have parks near, a great neighborhood to walk and a couple nice trails near me. I find it imprtant to switch things up so the dogs do not get bored. I have one dog, a border collie and chickens fenced in my backyard. If your dog is not chicken friendly let me know and maybe we can find a way to make it work. I currently work from home 4-5 days a week and am home most weekends. I am available to let dogs out as often as they need during the day. I have a fenced backyard that is full of dog toys and a possible agility course. My dog and I take an hour walk daily but can adjust to your dogs needs.
About: I have a lot of experience with dogs, and I have taken care of cats. Our family has had 6 dogs and 2 cats over the years. We currently have 4 at home now while I am at college. I take care of 1 of the four dogs regularly when I am at home and before I left for college. The month before I left for college we got a puppy that I helped take care of regularly, especially when my siblings were at High School. I took her out very often during the day, played with her, and fed her 3 times a day, while also taking care of my dog. When my siblings' High School started, I began to care for all 4 dogs, and made sure they had food, water and regular outside time to get out their energy. My experience says 8 years because our oldest dog now is 8 years old, almost 9. I helped out when I was younger, but had full responsibility once we got another dog (the one I take care of regularly) 7 years ago. I also have experience with cats, as we had one for 4 years. I have also helped out to rescue feral kittens and know how to be gentle with scared cats. As for pet sitting, I have done jobs requiring 2 week house sitting while in my Hometown, and had jobs that require me to come and feed the pets during meal times. I know how to go on walks with dogs, as I have biked and walked with my own dogs and others I have pet-sat many times. I am currently a student at Central Washington University and an athlete. My free times are on Weekends (Friday-Saturday), although I will let you know if I am busy on a Saturday from a sport responsibility. I am able to do drop in appointments during evenings on Weekdays or early mornings. When I am in my Hometown for the summer, all days of the week are free. As for pet care in my client's home, I can accommodate to your needs. I have most often taken care of the dog inside the house for food and water and take the dog out for walks or in the yard to go to the bathroom.
About: I have been dog-walking and pet sitting for nearly half my life! In my home town many locals knew me for my dog walking ‘business’ and helping out those in need. I am a student at central and I would love to add time with nearby furry friends into my schedule. I am confident in my ability to work with clients on this. I am used to working with clients on what specifically their pet needs. For some it’s longer walks and for others it’s a special treat before bed. Whatever your pet needs I will be there to give to them.
About: I have been a cat-owner and dog-owner since I was about 5 years old. Additionally, I have help to care for others pets, from family to friends to community members. I am quick to learning a pets' habits and preferences, doing whatever makes them and their parents most comfortable. I've helped care for puppies that are still in training, old dogs with younger siblings who have varying energies, and cats who need daily medicine and attentive care. I am happy to help with any pet care needed if given time to fully understand a pet's needs and if the furry friend is comfortable with me to do so. While I work full-time, my work schedule is flexible to fit to your and your pets' needs. I am fully available on weekends, unless otherwise stated. And I am happy to do early morning or late evening check-ins or walks if needed. I am an attentive pet-owner who likes to stick to a schedule for both my and my pets' benefit. My priority goes into making sure my pets are taken care of before taking care of myself, and keeping a consistent care and grooming schedule. That care is given ten-fold when I am looking over another person's furry baby. I adjust my schedule and routine to pets' needs, and provide daily or weekly reports to the parents so they are put at ease of their pets' safety and comfort.
About: I recently lost my senior dog at 15 years old. I’m looking to provide that same love, patient, routined care to others pets. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to focus on the care your pet needs. I have experience in specialized diets, medications, and mobility support. I also love to walk and would be happy to take your pet for sniffaris. My current full time job is remote work, allowing me plenty of flexibility, particularly if your pet stays in my home. If need be I can also work from others homes, if pets prefer to stay in their home. I live on the second floor of a quiet fourplex, my apartment is accessed via 14 steps on the outside of my building. I care for pets by bringing them on neighborhood walks, and live across the street from a park.
“Hailley watched our cat and dog for about 10 days. She communicated frequently with us during our trip and even sent photos. Our dog got a tummy bug and she went out to get chicken and made her rice and chicken. The animals seemed happy upon our return, the house and animals were clearly well taken care of.”

“Annie is wonderful! She is very timely and follows our dog’s routine wonderfully! She takes him for long walks and even spends extra time in the yard with him. Would recommend her 100%”

“Meaghan was great! Very responsive to any messages that I sent to her and communication in general. My dogs loved her immediately and she was just very easy to get along with. I would hire her again in a heartbeat to watch my girls! Thanks Meaghan!”

Lauren was comfortable and attentive to my dogs from the time of meet-n-greet. She has a calm disposition that suited my blue tick heeler well and that my border collie mix soaked up in belly rubs. Lauren was communicative without my having to check-in firstly and sent sweet photos of my pups. Lauren is honest in her pet care and doing what she says she will when it comes to time, play, attention, and welfare of your pets - this is not always true of other sitters. I would book her again soon but, she's already booked! My dogs appeared happy under her care, I would highly recommend Lauren for pet care.

Austyn was a perfect fit for us. She took care of everything we needed done (including meds for one of our dogs) and most important, gave so much attention and cuddles to our fur babies while we were gone. Will most definitely be using her again when we travel. Thanks Austyn

Victoria is an amazing pet sitter! She is responsible, communicative, and caring. She handles giving out medicine no problem and I never have to worry about a thing when she’s watching my dog. Now my dog loves her so much and I wouldn’t have anyone else watch him!

Amber did a fabulous job taking care of my two dogs while I was out of town. I rarely travel without my dogs so leaving them is difficult, but she made it easier by providing updates and pictures. I also came home to very happy pups and a very clean house! I definitely recommend Amber. Will book again!

Lacey was a great housesitter for our two high energy dogs! Our second dog has "stranger danger" and big feelings about anyone new but Lacey handled it all like a champ, helping our baby come out of her shell on her own terms over time. Lacey is experienced and leads with a fear-free approach, and is very communicative and professional. We knew our girls gladly have Lacey stay with our dogs again in the future - thank you, Lacey!
Ruby just watched our 2 dogs and 1 cat for 8 days while we were on vacation. She took great care of our pets even though 2 of them are skittish. The house was immaculate when she left and I had full confidence in her while we were gone. Hope to use her again in the future.
