“Thank you so so much! My doggies were very pleased with their visit, as well as I! Kat responded to me promptly & helped me out in a difficult situation when I was out of town & my dogs needed to get outside for a potty & have a lil bit of fun with a friend. Absolutely fantastic & if I’m ever in need of a drop-in while in the BHAM area again, I’ll definitely be going with Kat!”


“Thank you so mich”


“Stone was terrific!! The dogs immediately loved her from the first time they met her. We never worried about them in her care. She even took them for walks! She went above and beyond. We will definitely have her back again!”



“Bale was very courteous in our home, and did a great job with our young German Shepherd. Definitely recommend her!”


“mikayla was absolutely lovely and so helpful with taking care of our kitties over our spring break!”


“Life saver”


“Marielle took such good care of our dog while we were out of town. He always looked so happy in the pictures. He is a little extra crazy being a 1yr old 80 pound puppy. So we are just grateful she could handle that crazy for us. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”


About: Hello all! I grew up on a cattle ranch with all sorts of animals around, all the time. I've raised / fostered / adopted dogs & cats of all sizes and breeds. I moved to Blaine, WA in July 2020 from Orcas Island, WA - and we live 5 minutes from the beach. Beach day, all day! I was certified as a therapy dog trainer in Oregon in 2009 and have carried techniques and skills learned there through my entire adult life. I can offer tips and tricks for training certain behaviors, if that is something you need support in! I can't imagine what life would be like without our fur family and I can ensure your fluffy buddies will be treated as family as well in my care. Have a whole farm? We can chat about a budget that works for you! Even farm owners deserve to take a vacation once in a while! :) Located in Canada? We can make arrangements for border travel, no problem! While currently on a hiatus from fostering, I serve as a behavioral rehab support to multiple rescues that serve Whatcom county. If you have a question on behaviors or something you’re struggling with with your dog - I’m happy to brainstorm and offer options to help! I work from home part time during the week. My weekends are free 100%. I also can bring dogs along in my truck (in the cab) and potty/walk them throughout the day. If we go on an adventure, your fur baby will ride in the back of my car with the climate controlled depending on the weather. They can be transported with or without a crate as well. Our yard is fully fenced with 6 ft no climb wire fencing. The yard is separated into 3 sections, to allow space and time for introductions. No dog is left outside without a human supervising. Crates are available upon request (so you don't have to pack yours up!), and the house can be divided 3 ways to allow for space and time as needed. Wherever your dog is most comfortable is where your dog will sleep (even if it's in our bed or on the couch!). PLEASE NOTE: We have our own pack of SIX (6) dogs (see below). I make sure to allow for proper introductions to any new pet on site. This means that for meet & greets and for pickups/dropoffs, our home may sound a little like a ZOO! And, if you’d like to meet everyone that’s onsite - plan to allow plenty of time for the interaction (and let me know ahead of time so I can plan my time as well!) I can assure you that we maintain safety above all else & are happy to accommodate preferred practices for your canine.

“Sydney did an excellent job! Our kitty was well taken care of, and she sent us some fantastic pictures of him too. She was always easy to communicate with and replied promptly to any concerns or questions. Highly recommended!”


“Ayanna was dependable, communicative, and took great care of our pets while we were away! She left detailed notes with status updates, and even helped bring in a few packages received when I asked if she could check our mail. Would absolutely hire her again!”


About: Hi! My names Ekte! I currently have 2 dogs of my own and 3 kitty's, but I've had many more pets in my life time! I've sat a handful of kitties and dogs ranging in all sizes so rest assured I can handle em! Whatever your pet needs, whether that's just a friend to sit with, feeding, pottying, or someone to play with I can help! Just message me any questions :) P.S. I don't have many photos right now, so enjoy the photos of my littles for now 😋 The ones I do have, I specialize in silly pictures ☺️ I usually work 3 pm to 11pm at my other job! But if there's a time in between there just feel free to shoot me a message and ask! Im usually willing to take my lunch to stop by, and then once again when Im off work (free of charge of course :) ) Whatever is needed for your pet I'll accommodate too, whether that's special instructions cause they're reactive or a rescue (which I understand, no shame), or they just simply need someone to sit there with them, we can work it out!

“Tammi did a fantastic job taking care of our senior dog and special needs cat. Great communication, followed all directions perfectly. Our pets were healthy and happy when we returned!”


About: Hi! I’m a certified veterinarian from Thailand and lifelong animal lover. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages and health needs—including my own sweet tabby, Lady Blossom, and senior basset hound, Bernice. I’m especially passionate about pet nutrition and giving each pet the love and care they deserve. Whether your fur baby is playful, shy, or needs special medical attention, they’ll be in gentle, experienced hands with me! Pet care is naturally part of my daily life—I work from home, so I’m always around to give pets plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, feeding, or cuddles, I’m fully present and available. My own pets are part of my routine, and I treat every animal I care for like one of my own. I offer in-home pet sitting because I understand that many pets feel more comfortable and less stressed in their familiar environment. Keeping them in their cozy space helps maintain their routine and well-being. As a former veterinarian, I’m trained to recognize signs of illness and have a strong background in pet nutrition and health. I’m always happy to share tips and advice to help your pet thrive.

“Madison was very conscientious and thorough, she always let me know when she was dropping in and how my cat was doing. She’s very personable, down to earth, and trustworthy. We look forward to working with her again.”


“You are amazing! Thank you for showing such patience to get him to warm up to you and get outside. We appreciate the patience and care you've shown our pup. Thank you so much!”


“Our golden retriever instantly loved Rita and we're so thankful we found her! Her thorough and thoughtful questions made us instantly at ease and with no doubt that she would take great care of our girl. A true pleasure!”


“Kat did a great job with daily visits to our cat, Billie Joe, while we were on vacation for a week. She handled everything perfectly, and dealt with some unanticipated unpleasantness without missing a beat. Thanks Kat!”


About: I have been adopting and loving older dogs for 4 years, but have had dogs of all ages and size for my whole life. I particularly like big dogs. I previously worked as a fedex driver, and was best friends with so many of the dogs on my route. I am now a part time handyman for a local resort, and miss seeing other people’s dogs every day! I also am a content creator, mostly focused on outdoors and dogs. Long daily walks, hikes, adventures. Hours on the couch with cuddles, attention, love and affection. I will plan my day around your pet’s needs, and make sure they have the best day they can. I will care for your pet as desired, whether that means being active or allowing the pet it’s space. I have taken care of some extremely sick dogs and will be sympathetic, gentle and caring with your pet.

About: I have been around dogs since the young age of 10. I’ve been around all different types of dogs and have always helped out with neighbors dogs or friends dogs. I love to play with them and enjoying their company and seeing how happy they get to play and be out and about. I am currently working full time. I am off on Fridays and Sunday’s. Monday-Tuesdays i am available after 7. Wednesday no availability. Thursdays after 7. Saturdays after 5. I give lots of pets and treats and play time to entertain my pets. I can play fetch and tug of war and lots of walking to get all the extra energy out.

About: I’ve had pets all my life and loved every minute of it. I’ve taken care of not only my own but also friend’s and neighbor’s animals. I spent a summer dog walking in my neighbor and it was one of my favorite summer jobs! I am currently in school in the afternoons so I am available to help with all your pet related needs! I have a set schedule but am usually available on short notice! I do not have the availability to take care of pets in my own home. However when taking care of pets in your home I will not only take quality care of your pet but also your home!

“I have known David for a while and I can attest that he is a genuine and caring dog lover. He is a reliable dog owner and is very in tune to each pups needs. I have also witnessed him care for other people’s dogs and have seen nothing less than exceptional caring for all dogs big and small. I’m a firm believer that all doggies are great judges of character and that is backed by any pup who has ever met David, never wants to leave his side. Highly recommend him for your next dog sitter.”
