Pet Sitting in Ferndale

“I'm a first time Rover user so I was new to the process and a little apprehensive, but I had nothing to be concerned about- Autumn was amazing! We had a meet and greet with her before our trip and she immediately made us comfortable about leaving the care of our kitties to her. It's clear she loves animals and our two 9 year old kitties loved her visits while we were out of town. She took great care of them and was extremely communicative with us the entire time. I will definitely request her services again in the future!!”

“Our cats love Azure SO MUCH! She is reliable to take care of them and they feel comfortable around her. Our cat Raylan might even love her more than us! She is considerate and even brought in packages that we had when it was raining.”

Katie S.

“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!”

“Camille took good care of my two cats and kept up excellent communication even working thru a small snafu with the system. Very professional care - thanks Camille!”

Eric M.

“Lizz was so wonderful caring for our two kitties while we were away. She was so great about sending us regular updates. You leave for a while and wonder how they’re doing. We could tell from the photos and updates she shared, just how well they were being cared for. We will definitely call on Lizz again!”

“Tricia should get 6/5 stars. Aside from cat-care, Tricia is just a lovely person. Very attentive and quickly built trust with our cat to administer meds smoothly. Treated our cat like one of their own and always left detailed notes after each visit. We will 100% ask Tricia to watch our little guy in the future.”

Margaret C.

“Marisa was an excellent cat sitter for our 2 year old cat! She communicated through out the entire experience and gave wonderful care to our feline. I’d 100% recommend Marisa and would trust her to watch our dear pet again in the future.”

Andria C.

“Emily is the best! We have two difficult to deal with doggies that she handles with grace. They actually seem to like her, which is huge because they hate everyone. She goes above and beyond to take care of them on her visits and she has been really flexible with our crazy schedules. 100% the best dog sitter we've seen!”

Jake P.

“Chandra is AMAZING! Her communication is top notch and she loves what she does! She definitely goes above and beyond the expectations and I feel so safe having her watch my little girl. I wouldn’t have anyone else come into my home to love on my koda.”

Kiersten S.

“This is the third time I’ve had Judith care for my cats while I was away and she is prompt, caring and plays with my cats who have challenges with health issues. I’m very grateful to her thoroughness and regular updates which allows me to relax while I’m away. I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve spent my entire life growing up around many animals and always being taught to treat each one like family. I’ve taken care of many types of animals, owned multiple exotic animals of my own, co-ran a pet sitting business where at one point I was watching 13+ animals at the same time, and am comfortable with every breed, from the never ending energy of a border collie to taking it slow with a senior dog. 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 most availability during the week M-Th, but am available most weekend afternoons/evenings. I love getting out into nature and am very willing to work with you to fit dog walks, boarding or whatever else you may need with my schedule! I live in a townhouse with a large shared park/lawn/patio area a few seconds away from my front door. I also have many many walking trails and parks within a few minutes from me that are all off of busy roads/areas and take you through forested areas, marsh, and large fields. I always carry everything I might need in any emergency situation with an animal I’m taking care of, I am always 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 ALWAYS put myself between them and harms way.

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.

“Jase was very reliable and always sent great photos of our pups playing and having a good time. The dogs were happy and healthy and we would absolutely trust him again. He visited the house exactly when he said he would and left no dog messes behind. Thank you Jase!!”

“Sierra was amazing! She paid attention to every detail. This is my first time leaving Jasper and Peaches alone and I was worried about them. Sierra was thoughtful and attentive. Playing with them every visit so they were happy, relaxed and content. I plan to book with Sierra exclusively. ✨💫🌟”

“She did great!”

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.

About: I was born and raised with several different breeds and sizes of dogs! I spent the last 15 years being a dog mom to 2 amazing beagles. I have experience with medication administration, geriatric, and puppy care. I am a nurse by trade and will provide the same care and compassion to your pet as I do my patients. New to the area and currently at home during the days. Happy to host your pet in our home for boarding and daycare. Available for drop in and dog walks as needed! We live in a safe neighborhood with plenty of walking paths nearby. Ranch style home with some green space allowing for plenty of sniffs and potty breaks!

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.
