About: Hello! As a lifelong cat owner and recent but enthusiastic dog sitter/walker, I'm prepared to give your pets the dedicated, stress-free care they deserve right in the comfort of their own home. Over the past year, my professional experience has focused heavily on high-quality drop-in visits for my dedicated clients. To round out my professional experience, I spent last summer walking my sister's dog, which gave me great real-world experience managing a pup out on a leash. Safe, Attentive Drop-Ins & Walks: Whether I am stopping by for a drop-in visit or taking your dog for a stroll, safety is my absolute highest priority. Before stepping out the front door, I perform a thorough security check on all harnesses, collars, and leashes to prevent any sudden escapes. I track our route closely and actively avoid chaotic environments or un-introduced dogs. Your pup will get a fantastic mix of mental stimulation, healthy exercise, and fresh air. 🗓️ Service Schedule & Weight Limits: Drop-Ins: Monday through Saturday — Up to 100 lbs. Dog Walking: Monday, Wednesday, Friday — Up to 60 lbs (must be well leash-trained). Core Visiting Hours: 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. (Please Note: I am unavailable for early morning visits before 10:00 AM or late-night visits after 8:00 PM). Core Walking Hours: 10:00 AM to Sunset/Dusk (Please Note: For pet safety and visibility, I do not schedule outdoor walks after daylight hours.) Booking Buffer: I require a minimum of 3 days' notice for all new clients so we can comfortably schedule a required Meet & Greet prior to booking. ● To maintain a safe and trustworthy environment, a brief, 15-minute Meet & Greet is mandatory for all first-time clients before a booking can be confirmed. ● I am highly proactive about pet wellness and am currently planning to expand my skill set with formal pet first aid training in the near future. ● Please note that clients must provide all necessary cleaning supplies for their pets' spaces.

“As always, Braelyn did a great job taking mg care of my cats! They’re always so happy to see her and she always takes the time to actually spend time with them beyond the usual pet sitting things- she gives them lots of attention and pets, plays with them, and makes sure they don’t feel too lonely while I’m gone. I highly recommend Braelyn for your pet sitting needs!”

“This was our first experience with Rover and I could not be more pleased with how great Morgan was with Champ! She met him a few days before the scheduled drop-ins and he immediately started licking her and asking for pets before she even finished coming inside (Champ is normally super shy and barks a lot). Morgan was very communicative and sent several pictures and updates during each drop-in. I hate leaving Champ (I’ve only boarded him three times in his 8 years of life and am always paranoid if he’s not right by me lol) so I was nervous about how it would be for someone else to come into my house to watch him but it was the best decision. Champ hates fireworks so Morgan moved his bedding into the bathroom where he was hiding and she sat in there with him until he calmed down. If I boarded Champ he would’ve been in a kennel near a bunch of other dogs freaking out about the fireworks but Champ got to be in his own home where he feels safe. She went above and beyond any expectations I had. I laid out some pee pads and sure enough, Champ understandably had a couple of accidents because he wouldn’t go outside during the fireworks and Morgan cleaned up without any complaints. I would be thrilled to have Morgan take care of Champ again next time I go out of town!”

“Jenna has been the best sitter I’ve used yet!! She was wonderful at following the instructions I left out, and asked many questions which I really appreciated. My two kittys loved her and really seemed to have a blast playing with her. Even my shy little guy was greeting her at the door! She eased so much of my anxiety leaving them for a weekend, I cannot thank her enough!”

About: I have provided care for dogs and cats for over 20+ years. I was the first to volunteer in my youth to "stay home" with the animals. I am thoughtful and reliable and understand the importance of a maintained routine. I approach all visits with patience, care, and professionalism. I communicate clearly with pet parents and adjust my care to match each fur baby's personality. Trust and confidentiality are my priorities. Flexible schedule! I am currently between employment commitments while I assist family members with life changes. I am organized and reliable and can accommodate regular visits as well as short-notice needs. I prioritize maintaining your pet's normal routine to reduce any stress and ensure comfort and safety. I follow care instructions closely and monitor behavior and overall well being. I communicate regularly and provide all requested updates. I treat the client's home with care, professionalism and discretion at all times. I am an active person and enjoy walks/runs.

“Casey was a pleasure to work with! She's thorough and an exceptional communicator! She was flexible with the meet and greet and my 2 giants immediately took to her. She was great going through the boys routine and I felt comfortable and confident leaving them under her care. During her first visit, we got great updates and all went great. Definitely one of those souls that is more in touch with animals and a calming, down to earth energy about her. We would be happy to work with Casey again soon!”

About: My family consists of breeds ranging from German Shepherd’s and an ex K9 and dachshunds. I have worked with extroverted and shy dogs! I am patient with any breed and its needs. I currently have a work study job and am a full time student. My availability on this app will change based on the college quarter. I’m someone who likes to be outside to walk dogs and cats! I also am able to relax and be someone to love them :) In a clients home I take big precautions with windows, doors, and garages. Safety of the animals is my main priority. I have spoiled cats at home and my family has many dogs all with different mental and health needs. Due to this I am comfortable with whatever your pet needs :)

About: I’ve spent my entire life growing up around many types of animals and was always taught to treat each one like family 🩵 I started caring for others pets around 12 years old and have taken care of many species and breeds of animals, owned multiple exotic animals of my own (frogs currently🐸), co-ran a pet sitting business for multiple years where I was watching up to 13+ animals at some points, and am comfortable with every breed-from the never ending energy of a border collie to taking it easy with a senior dog or sitting with them for an hour just to earn a little trust for anxious pups. I am a young, responsible and professional adult, I love the outdoors and taking dogs out into it, I am someone who thrives in an organized environment and am patient and more than willing to work with animals that need to build trust. My top priority is always the safety and happiness of the pets I take care of, always ensuring they are getting the mental stimulation they need as well as knowing their behavior and being able to accordingly keep them in situations they are comfortable and happy in. I work part time as a baker, I have the most availability saturday-Monday, but am available most weekday evenings. I love getting out into nature and am very willing to work with you to fit dog walks, sits or whatever else you may need with my schedule! I live in a house in a quiet neighborhood with a small yard, it’s directly across from whatcom falls park and I have lots of access to great trails and the river. I always carry everything I might need in any emergency situation with an animal I’m taking care of, I am very aware of my surroundings and am very good at catching animals behaviors before any situation has escalated and am able to prevent them, from both my animals and strangers. I have spent lots of time training and many hours learning about animals and the physical warnings they show in discomfort, I have always been able to safely remove or prevent my own pets as well as clients from a stressful situation. I have no trouble standing up for my animal if a stranger isn’t taking proper care of theirs and will always put myself between them and harms way.

About: I've had animals my entire life - dogs, cats, and hamsters. I have also nannied for a lot of families with dogs and cats. I've done vet visits, administered medications, and regularly help care for my brother's aussie shepherd. I'm knowledgeable, responsible, friendly, and love animals. I have had my own cat, Domo, since 2009, and he's my best friend. I would love to have a dog too but I can’t right now, so I would love to spend time with yours! My brother manages a veterinarian office so I always have extra information and someone to reach out to. I look forward to spending time with your furry family members! I'm currently looking for work (I work in social services and mental health care) after moving back to Bellingham from Seattle. I miss my friends' pets! I have a 17 year old senior cat who loves his own space and unfortunately would not appreciate me bringing animals home to his space. I have had him since he was ten weeks old!

About: I've always had pets in my life, and caring for animals is second nature to me. I have a degree in veterinary medicine (though I don’t practice in a clinic), and I now work for a conservation nonprofit from home with my own beloved dog and cat. This means I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention, walks, and playtime for your pet. Whether your pup needs some exercise, your cat wants company, or you'd like someone to work from your home while keeping your pet happy, I’m here to help! I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to fit in walks, visits, and playtime throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a midday stroll, some company while you’re away, or a quiet presence at home, I can adjust to their needs. I have a fenced yard for a safe and secure outdoor space, and I always follow the pet owner's instructions to ensure their pet's routine, comfort, and well-being. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize a calm, trusted environment where pets feel safe and cared for.

About: I have previous experience working as a receptionist at a veterinary hospital and have been pet sitting for over 10 years. My experience includes working with dogs, cats, fish, and birds. I grew up with in a home with many animals and now have a senior cat of my own. I would love to meet your pet and help out in any way I can. Please feel free to reach out if you have questions! I am currently doing online school and have lots of free time to spend with your pets! I’m available any day of the week during working hours. I love spending time on walks, cuddling with your pets, and making sure they get lots of love! Keeping your pet happy and healthy is my only focus, and I like to treat each of my clients according to their unique needs and preferences.

About: Hi, I'm Sydney! I am 20 years old and am currently a student at WWU. I have a lot of availability this summer and would love to spend time with your pet! I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I have hands‑on experience with everything from energetic puppies who need structure and play to older pets who require medication, mobility support, or extra comfort. I’m calm and reliable, which helps me build trust quickly and create a positive, stress‑free experience for your pet. Your pet is my priority. I would need to know up front if your pet requires 24-hour care, overnight care, or just potty breaks, feeding, and play time. I want to give your furry family member the exact care that they need. I will prioritize you and your pets' safety, care, and comfort. I am ready to accommodate whatever your pet may need, whether that is consistent walks, cuddles, or you name it!

“Lauren did a great job taking care of my 2 cats. One is a feral rescue and the other is elderly (and they don’t like each other), so not the easiest duo… but they were in good hands!”

About: I've been an animal person my whole life; from originally wanting to be a vet (decided to pivot due to the sadness that probably comes from being a vet) to caring for pets of my own. I've always felt I've been able to understand animals better than most people. I think it stems from my ability to innately understand their non-verbal communication. Hence, the Dolittle reference. A typical day in my home is calm, comfortable, and centered around the pet’s normal routine. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, a clean space, plenty of attention, and time to play or relax depending on their personality. I’m happy to follow any specific routines you have at home so your pet feels as comfortable and familiar as possible. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level, giving them plenty of affection when they want it and space when they need it.

“Wonderful!”
