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 love spending time with animals and consider it a privilege to watch other people’s pets. Learning about their personalities is so rewarding and im always happy to do it! Recently left my full time job to return to school this fall to get my masters in high school biology education 👨🏻🔬🧬 I love all pets and looking to earn some more cash to pay for tuition! My schedule is pretty open and I’m very flexible, feel free to ask! I listen attentively to the owners’ instructions and aim to mimic the pets’ usual routine as closely as possible. Routine is so important in keeping pets comfortable, and keeping that consistent will ease their anxiety about being away from their owners.

About: I’ve been lucky to love so many cats and dogs throughout my life and I know the deep joy and commitment that comes with pet parenthood! I’m most passionate about ensuring doggies are given love through attention and play and understand the importance of quality outdoor time. I currently work at a middle school during the fall/winter/spring but my schedule will open up fully in the summer! I’d love to fill up my schedule with dog-walking and occasional drop-in pet care. I’m most interested in providing your doggies with exercise through neighborhood walks! I live in a great, safe area with many parks and sidewalks to easily navigate and ensure the safety of your pet, first and foremost.

Frances W.
“Frances is an absolute joy to work with when it comes to caring for dogs and animals alike. I have had the pleasure of witnessing firsthand their exceptional skills and dedication to providing top-notch care. In every interaction, she demonstrates a deep understanding of canine behavior and needs. Her approach is not only professional but also compassionate, ensuring each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved throughout the entire walk or playtime session. She has a natural ability to connect with animals, making even the most timid or energetic dogs feel at ease. Beyond her innate ability to handle dogs, she is incredibly reliable and responsible. Frances is very punctual and organized, always ensuring that schedules are followed and that the dogs receive the exercise and attention they need. I have complete confidence in her capability to manage any situation that may arise while walking dogs, from minor behavioral issues to unexpected circumstances. In addition to her technical skills, Frances brings a genuine passion for animals to their work. She goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being of each dog, whether it's giving extra belly rubs, providing treats (with the owner's permission, of course!), or simply spending extra time to make sure the dog feels comfortable and happy. I wholeheartedly recommend Frances as a dog walker without any reservations. She is not only trustworthy and skilled but also brings a warmth and kindness that animals naturally gravitate towards. Any dog would be lucky to have her as their walker! Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or require more information about Frances's abilities and experience. Sincerely, Miranda King”


Kelsie N.
“There are simply people in this world that you meet, and know instantly that they are animal lovers, and Kelsie is the epitome of that. She is caring, fun, and most importantly, very engaged as a dog sitter. My dog is a bit hyperactive, can be particular about things, and I knew Kelsie would fit her every need. I loved getting pictures of her sweet baby & family loving on my pup. I can't recommend Kelsie enough!”

“Alex has taken care of my cats several times and I trust him completely! He’s very responsible. I appreciate how much effort Alex has put into building a relationship with my cats as well, so they are genuinely happy when he stays with them. His calm demeanor has allowed my shy cat to fully warm up to him, too, which I love. I highly recommend Alex!”
