Chandra was amazing! She was super kind and communicative. My pup got into some food he shouldn’t have before one of her walks, and she took care to make sure he was okay, gave him a bath, and made sure everything was okay in the house. She took extra care to make sure my dog was loved when I wasn’t home.

Took off on a hiking trip for a few days and couldn't bring my dog. Hired Hope to drop in on him, take him for walks and feed him while I was gone. She did a great job! Sent me updates along the way and gave me peace of mind. My Lil dude seemed in high spirits when I got back. Would totally recommend Hope anytime and would definitely use her as sitter in the future.

Judith has been a lifesaver for me recently as I move into my new home. I’ve been back and forth between homes and with little notice she helped support my pups and me on several occasions now. Will definitely utilize her services again!

About: Hello!! I am a graduate from Western Washington University. I have had a dog ever since I was 10 years old and I have always loved being around animals. I nannied for a family with three kids and their dog for a year and a half before attending WWU, and a separate family with two kids and their dog for 3 years while attending school. I have extensive experience taking care of other peoples kids, pets, and homes. I love the outdoors, so I am willing to walk/run your dog as much as needed, regardless of the weather. I live in a duplex in Ferndale and I also have a car, so transportation is not an issue. I would love to get to know you and your pet! I work part time, so I have lots of availability to attend to your pets needs. Friday's are the only day of the week when I work a full day, but I am able to stop by and walk/play with your pet during a lunch break! When taking care of your pet, I ensure to follow your directions carefully. Keeping your pet (and home) safe and happy is my top priority.

We were very impressed with Emily's excellent communication. Shackleton had a wonderful time with her and she was fanatic at managing a large and opinionated doggo! We highly recommend Emily for dog walking and will definitely request her in the future when we need a walker.

About: I'm the go-to sitter for friends and family's dogs and I absolutely LOVE being a part of a dog's routine. I have experience with all facets of dog care from administratoring medicine to coming up with games for exercising your dog's body and brain. I also have experience with all ages from rambunctious babies to mellow seniors. I currently have three high-energy large dogs and the importance of good walks and brain games is baked into my very being. I'm currently attending classes and working part time during the week. I am available weekday evenings/nights and any time on weekends for pet care clients. I double check everything. I make sure your pet's behavior is normal, that your pet has eaten and drank, that your pet has peed and pooped normally, that your instructions were closely followed, and that your home is secure. Most importantly, that your pet is SAFE.

Lizz saved the day for us! We had a family emergency come up and had to leave town last minute. Lizz was able to cover all the walks in our absence. She gave us great feedback and won over our shy pup. Highly recommend.

Nichole is amazing! She came on short notice and walked our dog for several days before Christmas. She was very prompt and responsive. She is a huge dog lover and took great care of our dog. She sent pictures, text updates of every walk and even a holiday dog biscuit and chocolates for us on Christmas Eve. We would call on Nichole anytime. She’s a fantastic person.

About: We have had 4 personal dogs who all get lots of love and attention, we lost our 2 oldest several yrs ago. We recently added our 4th pup to add love and laughter in our home. We love to give all dogs lots of attention and treats and are firm on reward based learning only. All our dogs have had some type of obedience training. We had been fosters and have had the pleasure of rehoming 16 dogs. We are available any day of the week for daily things. There is always someone home and have an active family. We do daily walks (1-2) times, a bucket of chewy toys, and bags of balls to chew on. We have a large fenced in yard for dogs to run in and a dog friendly home. We have lots of love to give and might love dogs bit too! This is a family side hussle, both my husband and I work full time with 2 active teens, we are always home and always on the go! Your pet is as important as my own pet, I don't want anything to happen that would make anyone sad, things happen but things can be prevented as well.

About: I have experience in vet med, so I will be able to keep a detail-oriented eye on your pet's health and wellbeing. If it comes to it, I can take your beloved companion to the vet clinic while you're out of town and see to any at-home care they need, no problem. I currently make my income entirely through app-based freelance work, making it easy to interweave schedules. I can check in on your pet, go out and work for 2-3 hours, then come back again. ADHD tendencies serve me well in this situation-- I can focus on a show, a book, or working on my laptop, while still being peripherally aware of what your pet is doing, and taking time to check in and give lots of scritches and belly-rubs. I live in a shared housing situation, so I have plenty of experience leaving an environment that is not my own exactly as I found it.

Hope has been my go-to for dropping in and spending time with my dog, for over a year now, while I’m away for extended work or take a trip. She’s always been consistent and reliable and really treats my guy like her own….he always seems super happy to see her! Cannot recommend Hope or her partner enough as I’ve had nothing but great experiences across the board and trust them with my dog 100%
