Pet Sitting in Ferndale

“Camille was very sweet and caring to my cat! She really cared about the specific routine we have and sticking to the instructions and tips I left. She left detailed notes through the app and lots of adorable pictures. It was good to know my cat was comfortable with her and enjoyed having someone there to care for her while I was gone.”

“Sierra was awesome with our 3 cats! Two of our cats are very shy with strangers, so sometimes after a pet sitter they’re anxious/overwhelmed. Sierra was extremely communicative and professional, and all of our cats seemed happy after having her drop in a few times! I definitely recommend Sierra!”

“Jase took great care of our 2 kittens while we were away for a long weekend trip. He fed them, played with them, and cared for them like they were his own. This helped me relax during my vacation, knowing that they were in great hands.”

About: *About our place: For the holiday season I am booked! My son is available to housesit and do drop ins if interested please let me know. He has plenty of experience housesitting for friends farms as well as taking care of our pets. I will oversee his work. Our property is like a huge dog park! We have 3 treed and open fully fenced acres with a doggie door, covered deck, agility course, a pond for those that like to swim, plenty of toys, dog beds, room to dig and play and friendly dogs to play with. We have dogs, cats, and ducks (which are always penned up safely). We cannot take aggressive dogs or cat aggressive dogs. If your dog is reactive to other dogs we are unable to accommodate them. * About me I owned a grooming shop for 17 years and worked at a vet clinic for 15 years. I have also worked with multiple dog rescues over the years. I have experience with special needs dogs and those that require extra TLC. I only use positive reward based training. * Boarding For this option, your pup(s) will be staying in my home. I have dogs myself , so I ask for advanced notice of at least 72 hours before drop off because dogs coming last minute can be disruptive to our home life. Due to an unfortunate circumstance and privacy concerns with a potential client I no longer allow people inside my home for meet and greets. We can do meet and greets in our fenced back yard if you so choose. Meet and greets are not required. We often offer a trial day in lieu of a meet and greet as dogs act different when their owners leave and we want to see the true dog. I can only take a max of 2 dogs at once. If from different families I must know they dogs before they are allowed to interact with another family’s dog and be similar in age, temperament. All male dogs over a year must be neutered. No female dogs in heat. Dogs should be crate trained in the event of an emergency. If you have a puppy we can work on gentle crate training by feeding the pup in a crate and letting them out immediately after. The crate is always associated with something positive. We are not a kennel, this is our home and everyone’s safety is top priority. Your dog will be able to roam the house, sleep on the couch, use a doggie door to go in and out as they please and lots of playtime. We cannot hold spots available for you unless you reserve the spot. I adjust to your dog’s schedule. I do not expect them to adjust to mine. *Other Pets For this service we can also pet sit for more then just dogs. Caged animals such as birds, reptiles and small animals have their own private room. We have experience with snakes, bearded dragons, a variety of geckos, sugar gliders, rats, guinea pigs, bunnies, axolotls, and birds. Caged animals are NEVER allowed to intersect with other species or other animals they did not come with. We can feed, interact with and clean cages as necessary. The price is the same as our dog boarding fees due to the extra attention exotics need. **all pick ups must be no later than 6pm. If you are ruining late the dog or small animal can stay another day and you can pick up in the morning. *Housesitting- I do weekends only* For this option, I will provide drop ins during the day and stay overnight in your home. A meet and greet is required for this so we can go over food, dog’s or cats access in your home, potty break times, meds needing to be given etc. I can walk your dog during drop in times or play with your kitty. I am dog and human CPR/First Aid certified. I can do any type of medications your pet needs as well as feed any diet your dog or cat needs. *Doggie Daycare- Pick ups must be no later than 6pm. Your dog will have access to our huge backyard, they can swim in our pond or play in the baby pool. We have a small agility course and we do lure coursing. Plenty of my own dogs to run and play chase with. Due to our schedules we have the flexibility to give pets the time and energy they require. We don't use any harsh chemicals or pesticides on our property. We use beneficial nematodes in our yard to prevent fleas and other pests. My husband and I work opposite shifts so someone is always home. We have a doggie door so even the youngest pups can get outside to use the potty when they need. Our deck is separately fenced from our yard so they are always supervised. I treat all pets like family. I worked as a dog groomer and a vet tech for many years so I have a lot of experience. We can tailor the experience to fit your pup’s needs if necessary. While I do work, my husband and I work opposite shifts and my teenager does online school so someone is always home. We tailor our schedule to fit your dog’s needs. Dogs are welcome on our couch and we also have various dog beds for their comfort. My dogs are part of our family and your dogs will be cared for the same way.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 9am. We have a big fenced yard where your pup can freely safely play, water front home, and a one sweet and very friendly dog to keep your pup company.

“Kat did an amazing job taking care of my two cats! She is very communicative and responsible and left my place in great shape. She also went above and beyond and took out their litter genie trash even though I hadn’t made the ask! Would recommend and book 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.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a kid. My partner and I have 2 young, high energy dogs as well as 3 cats. Gus is a 2 year old Golden Retriever and Pennie is a 3.5 year old English Shepherd. Cats are ages 10, 6, and 5. I am not a dog trainer, but I have attended training classes at Tails-a-waggin as an owner with my 2 dogs and I am comfortable using positive reinforcement techniques with dogs. I work remotely out of Ferndale. I have the ability to work from your home or I can stop by on my breaks (timing can be flexible). I have an hour lunch break so plenty of time for a walk or potty break if you live near by. I will be very diligent about the safety of your pets. I have a lot of experience making sure pets are contained in their home or yard. I do not allow on leash greetings with other pets or people when on a walk for your pets safety. I have reliable transportation just in case a pet may need to be transported to the vet.

“She did great!”

“Mika came over and spent an hour with the dogs in the middle of the day and it was such a big help! She plays with them, took them on a walk and I feel completely comfortable with them in her care.”
