About: I've been watching people's fur-mily and houses for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm and once had 13 dogs at one time ( our girl Autumn was busy). I watched a home with a pup for a month at a time and I am confident I can handle anything. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. While I love animals, don't have my own (my apartment is quite small). The dog I used to care for a month at a time is getting older and I'm missing my rental-dog days! I treat other's homes and their pets like I would my own. Which is quite nice if I do say so myself! I am a neat freak, I am respectful, and I care deeply that people know they can trust me.


About: I have lived with dogs all my life and have experience with all types of breeds and dog personalities. Last summer, I housesat four dogs for three weeks and after that I feel I can handle anything. I adopted my dog, Harvey, five years ago. He's a sweet tempered dachshund, but he's got a tendency to wander like most hounds so I'm especially good with the escape artist dog as I know their tactics first hand. As a dog owner, I promise to give your dog the love and attention that I would give to my own.

About: Hello! I'm Fran, a passionate dog lover and guardian with decades of experience in in-home doggie daycare. I care for your beloved dog while you're on holiday, providing them with a holiday of their own. I believe we don't 'own' our pets; we're their guardians, ensuring they're loved, safe, happy, and healthy. I've hosted dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Each dog has a unique story and personality, and I love getting to know them and watching them bloom as they explore their surroundings. I understand schedules vary and sometimes life presents surprises where we need to find someone to care for our beloved pup at the last minute. I work remotely with a flexible schedule. Let me help you when you need it most. Every day, I plan activities to engage their brains and exercise their bodies, often involving adventures through the neighborhood, trips to the fenced dog park, and visits to the river on hot days. At the end of the day, we enjoy healthy treats that I prepare myself, which also engage their brains and senses. I live in Vancouver, Washington, with my 8-year-old black lab mix, Murphy, who loves humans and other dogs and is non-aggressive. My home is well-maintained with a large deck where dogs can play and relax.I work from home which means your 'kids' are never left alone for long periods.

About: I've been caring for dogs for eleven years. My oldest dog was a senior who came to us at 13 and lived to be almost 19, so I became very good at caring for dogs of advanced age. I'm available for house sitting, day checks, and walks! I'm currently unemployed and have access to a car 9am-10pm, so I can check in with your pet whenever, or stay overnight. I'm happy to walk dogs as much as they need, play with them until they're tired, give them cuddles, and I can crate them if necessary.

About: I had the opportunity to care for a very large range of animals in the past 4 years including XL and small breed dogs, domesticated cats of all shapes and sizes, livestock animals, and special needs animals as well. I am self employed and have been for multiple years, so I am almost constantly available to provide any amount of love and attention your animal(s) may need If I am hosting your animal you can take solace in knowing that I have a very open living space with hardwood floors so there’s lots of room to run around, I’m very relaxed about animals being allowed in and on every part of my home so there won’t be any issues with getting on the couch or the bed, what’s mine is theirs


“Bre was wonderful! She was able to accommodate a last minute request, was very prompt in her communication, provided pictures, and followed feeding instructions. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again.”
