About: I have over 5 years of dog walking experience and have been a pet lover my whole life! I look forward to helping your animals thrive and love life even more!! I have a very flexible schedule but between 7:30 am and 7 pm work best for me to watch over and care for your pets! Don’t feel afraid to reach out for scheduling outside of my preferred times though! I have an extremely friendly shepsky who would always love to join me while walking your dog(s) or taking care of your cats and/or dogs but he is 100lbs so I will always ask if that’s conducive with your wants and needs!
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was a kid. I come from a family full of pet lovers and have lived with several animals in our house ever since I was little. I’ve raised and cared for both puppies and kittens to even taking care of senior pets and their need. I’ve pet-sat for friends, neighbors, and family ever since I was around 10 years old. I love animals and it is truly my passion to work with animals! I’m currently unemployed and on summer vacation from college so I have almost perfect availability and more than enough time to make your pets happy!☺️ I live in a pet friendly apartment, with a safe huge grass and forested area for pets to play and use the restroom. I am open to meeting any needs for a pet that their owners instruct. Anything from required feeding times, more frequent potty breaks and walks, and even giving medications to animals as well!

About: I've had dogs in my family since I was a baby; I grew up around them and my love for them grew. I care deeply for my own dogs, and I'm always excited to meet a new four legged friend. I regularly petsit for my family, a multitude of dogs, cats, and aquatic creatures. My schedule is currently very flexible; I make time for a walk and training my own dog every day and I sometimes bring him with me when running errands. I love snuggling and hanging out with all kinds of pets, letting them get comfortable with me in their space and touching them at their own pace.
“Morgan is always very communicative and really cares about Champ’s wellbeing! She already knows his mannerisms and can tell when he needs extra attention even after only seeing him a few times so far!”

About: I’ve always pet sat for all my family members! I love dogs and training them!! I also worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility so know lots of dog temperaments! I am a stay at home mom to a 4 month old! I have lots of freedom and flexibility to my schedule so can fit your needs into my routine! I don’t have a fenced yard, we do long sniffy walks instead! And only potty on leash. I have a German shepherd that loves to play with other pups! Or they can be separated! Whatever you prefer.
About: I grew up working on a farm! Not only am I familiar with training puppies and caring for cats, I also know my way around a barn. I have time in the early mornings and evenings to visit your pets! I am also able to house sit and provide daily exercise to any extent you need! I love to go on walks and adventuring in parks. But I also love just sitting on the couch with a dog or cat :) I am flexible and ready to meet whatever your pet needs!
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.
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 grew up with many animals in my house including dogs of all sizes and breeds. Every animal was well taken care of and properly trained. I am available throughout the day and night for periodic check in’s and walks. I am free all day on the weekends and can do holidays as well. My pets always come first. I pay attention to their every need and make sure they are as comfortable and happy as possible. I always go the extra mile to ensure proper care.

About: I've helped take care of all kinds of animals since I was young. Dogs, cats, chickens, turtles, snakes... you name it! My mother has 2 dogs (doug and frankie) I grew up with and I now have my own 2 cats (tony and tori)! Plus a pet snake named Poppy. As I child my best friends mother ran an animal rescue. There were many days spend waking up every 2 hours to bottle feed puppies & kittens :) I also have experience with senior pets, and pets that need medication. I can't wait to meet many more furry faces!! I'm currently a student at ferndale highschool! I'm available later in the day or early morning typically. I'm looking for after school opportunities whenever possible! I'm unable to bring pets to my home unfortunately. However I'd love to come and entertain yours! I can give your dog a bath, brush them out, play with them! Is your dog a lazy bones? I'm happy to just sit with them too
“Lindsay was a great pet sitter. She made sure to update me very frequently on how my fur babies were doing. She also went the extra mile and made sure they were very enriched by playing with them and letting them have supervised catio time. I would definitely have her take care of my fur babies again!”

“I had a great experience with Juliana! She stepped in on short notice and was incredibly communicative with setting up her checking in on my pup! She sent photos and went above and beyond to look after my dog! Highly recommend!”

About: My pet care experience began when I joined a humane society volunteer program where I worked for 6 years and became a shift lead. Later, I worked at a doggy daycare and overnight pet hotel. There I worked with specific dog’s needs and care as well as managed a group of up to 60 free-roaming dogs (yes, it was as amazing as it sounds) I have worked as a pet sitter and dog walker for most of my life, and I have experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have also worked with horses for most of my life and in the summers I care for horses on a large farm. They are pretty much a bunch of big, funny, puppies. I am formally trained in: -Dog first aide and CPR -Dog, cat, and small animal body language and care -Dog Bathing -Basic obedience training I am currently a recent WWU graduate working a part-time job. Being in my gap year after school, most of my time is flexible and social. I’m looking to fill some of my free time working with cute pets! While I do have a good foundation in general pet care, pet safety, and dog behavior, I prioritize the individual needs of the dog. I may have experience with many pets but no one knows your dog better than you. Care, to me, is about open communication and making sure your pup is happy!

About: I have owned and taken care of pets since I was a little kid, ranging from mini Australian shepherds to retrievers, labs and German shepherds. This means I have experience training young puppies and taking care of senior dogs. I also have experience with taking dogs on runs (since I love to run), which helps with high-energy dogs. I love dogs and am more than happy to help other people with pet care since I know finding the right person for the job can be difficult. :) I’m a teacher so this summer I’m earning some extra cash by nannying and dogsitting. I’m available 4-5 days a week including the weekends (and have no problem helping in the early mornings and late nights), so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m very willing to fit multiple in-house visits and dog walking/running into my routine. I care for pets in my clients’ homes so I am skilled in giving all pets the attention they need both inside and outside the home, including playing with them, taking them on walks and runs, or just sitting down and keeping them company depending on the age and needs they require. I take pride in fulfilling all pets’ routines and owners’ expectations.
Ferndale dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first experience with Rover and Kira made the experience so easy. Kira responded quickly to my initial request and all subsequent correspondence. She kept me updated over the time she looked after Lily, which allowed me to enjoy my evening. I will definitely request Kira’s assistance in the future and I highly recommend her to watch over other’s furry babies!
