House Sitting First Place

“Cameryn was extremely open with me about her choices and how that would work with Baker. I believe she is honest and especially very caring and does what she says! This was our first time away from Baker over night and without relatives. He managed well and was not even sure we were gone because he STAYED AT HIS OWN HOME! I am very grateful!!!”

“Allison was wonderful! She stayed at our home and cared for our 4 animals. She walked Ginger everyday and kept our plants alive too. She was incredible!”

“Zahara did such a great job with my puppy! He warmed up super quickly and I loved getting photos of what they were up to. Thank you so much, hope to have Kai taken care of again by you soon :)”

“Lyla was a fantastic dog/house sitter! We got pictures and updates each day we were gone. Our pups were treated like her own and they were genuinely loved while we were gone. There’s nothing better than leaving and not having stress because Lyla was there with them! Everything was clean, dogs were walked and Lyla was great at communicating. Hoping we get the opportunity to have her sit for our pups again!”

Stephanie L.

“Erin was wondering! Very accommodating and responsive. Clearly read through our instructions and sent photos throughout her stay. Will definitely be using again!”

“Erika and Cristopher were absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Kailo & Kiara. We received lots of pictures and thoughtful updates every day, which helped us feel completely at ease while traveling. When we came home, the house was immaculately clean and the dogs were relaxed, happy, and clearly well‑cared for. They went above and beyond in every way, and we’re so grateful for the care and attention they gave our pups. We would happily book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, kind, and attentive sitters.”

About: I'm a mom to two cats, Schneider and Stormy, and I'm just as at home with dogs. I've cared for pups of all sizes and energy levels, from leash-pullers to couch potatoes. I work freelance, so my schedule is flexible and I'm never rushing out the door. Beyond the basics (food, water, walks, meds exactly as you like them), I always set aside time to just play with your pet. Every furry cuties I get to meet feels like a little stroke of luck, and I want them to have a genuinely fun time with me. I'm also into journaling and photography. I'm a bit obsessed with catching cute pet moments on camera, so fair warning: you might get a LOT of photos. Hope you don't mind! 😉 I work freelance, so my schedule is pretty flexible on both weekdays and weekends. I'm not squeezing your pet in between other commitments, so I can show up on time, stay a bit longer, and actually hang out instead of rushing off. Just let me know what works for you! Currently I only do drop-in visits, so your pet gets to stay in their own comfy space. I'll follow your routine, and after each visit I'll log what I did and how your pet was doing: meals, potty, playtime, and their energy level. Safety-wise, doors stay locked, windows and gates get double-checked, and leashes are always on for walks. I'll keep your vet and emergency contacts handy, and if anything seems off, you'll hear from me right away.

“My pup Brooke bonded very quickly with Stacey! Stacey was communicative about how my pup was doing and sent pics. I will definitely use Stacey again and recommend her to others to care for their fur family.”

“I’d give 10 stars if I could! I knew my Murphy girl was in good hands with Michaela during our meet n greet. She is very well educated in dog behavior and training, and I felt like I was leaving my dog with a certified trainer! She made sure Murphy got all of the loves, walks, treats and enrichment. I came back home to a happy, healthy pup and a clean house!”

About: Residing in Mill Plain, East Vancouver WA! I have owned, fostered, walked, ran, swam, and spoiled dogs for countless friends, family, and rescues for 8+ years across San Diego, Montana, and Washington. I am a big dog lover, consistent with routine and training, and capable of handling pups of any size. I am a former D1 athlete with a big heart and plenty of time and energy, pups of all sizes welcome! I work for myself and remotely, so I have all the time to spoil my pup Louie and yours! Flexible scheduling and offering the full spectrum of pup spoilage from simple neighborhood walks to full-blown dog beach days. Dogs and cats are family - from the ground up! I will love and spoil your pets as if they are my own, and likewise will treat your home and property with the grace and respect I know you would extend to me and mine. As my parents taught me - always leave with the place nicer than you found it.

About: I’ve spent much of my life caring for animals of all kinds, including dogs, many cats, and other pets! I grew up with an Australian Shepherd, whom I trained in basic obedience as well as agility-course tricks (although I am not a formally trained or certified dog trainer), and cats. More recently, I’ve pet-sat for the cats and dogs of family and friends. This has included caring for an older pet with mobility limitations and a pet with complex health needs and a medication schedule. I understand how important it is to follow an owner’s care instructions carefully, especially when medications or special routines are involved. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m happy to play, provide enrichment, groom, go for walks, or simply give plenty of attention and snuggles while their people are away. I’ve even walked cats! I’m detail-oriented and appreciate thorough care instructions. As a graduate researcher, I’m accustomed to following detailed protocols, keeping careful track of schedules, and paying close attention to small changes—skills I also bring to caring for animals. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re apart. As a graduate researcher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care throughout my day. My research schedule varies from week to week, but I keep my Rover calendar up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can reliably accommodate. For house sitting, I’m able to spend mornings, evenings, and overnight with your pets while working around my university responsibilities during the day. Because much of my academic work can be done on my laptop, I can often study, read, or write from your home while keeping your pets company. For drop-in visits, I plan visits around my daily schedule and make sure I have enough time to provide attentive care rather than rushing through a visit. I appreciate having a few days of advance notice whenever possible so I can plan my schedule around your pet’s routine and care needs. I know that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big responsibility. I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine and the instructions you provide, including feeding, medications, walks, litter-box care, and any household or safety precautions. I’m detail-oriented and genuinely appreciate thorough written instructions, especially for pets with medical needs or established routines. Before caring for a new pet, I like to learn about their personality, normal behavior, feeding and bathroom habits, medications or health concerns, and anything that might frighten or trigger them. For dogs, I also want to know about leash behavior and how they respond to other dogs, people, wildlife, and unfamiliar situations. I respect each animal’s boundaries and won’t force interaction with a pet who is frightened or wants space. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, drinking, bathroom habits, or mobility and will communicate with you promptly if something seems unusual. In an emergency, I will follow your emergency-care instructions and contact you and/or your designated veterinarian as appropriate. When house sitting or providing drop-in care, I treat your home respectfully and make sure doors, gates, and other entry points are secured when I enter or leave. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away.

“This is the second time Paul has stayed with our dog and he is wonderful with her. He and Jan are very communicative, sending lots of pictures and videos throughout the day. If there’s ever an issue or concern they send lots of details and are very clear about what happened. They give us peace of mind when we’re away from home.”

Sara O.

“Shani is an amazing person! She takes great care of the pups and sends beautiful pictures and updates. We highly recommend her and look forward to having her stay with our dogs in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of friends and family dogs while they are out of town. Personally I own two dogs who depend on me on taking them on walks. I’m available to walk and take care of your pet on weekdays anytime. Also Saturdays after 12 pm. Sundays after 4 pm. Currently available for the holidays. I have two friendly dogs who would be enchanted to give company to your dog. Backyard is securely fenced for dogs to run around/use bathroom. I can provide lots of playtime, cuddles, or have a relaxing day with your furry friend.

“Loved having Caitlin watch my two dogs. She was in close contact and took excellent care of them. When I came home after 5 days gone, they both were totally calm and fine. That’s the test that I’ve found a great pet sitter! I will definitely use Caitlin as my go-to next time I go out of town. We all think she’s the best!”

“Kaitlyn was great! She communicated clearly and often! Sent pictures of our dogs and made them feel loved! Would definitely have her sit again!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for them. I currently care for seven chickens, which has taught me responsibility, consistency, feeding, and paying close attention to their needs. I’ve also cared for my mom’s dog while she was away and helped care for my sister’s puppy. I have a flexible schedule right now and would love the opportunity to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. While I’m not quite ready to have a pet of my own, pet sitting feels like the perfect way for me to spend time with animals and provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I’m currently taking two classes on Monday and Wednesday mornings, each for about two hours. I also enjoy going to the gym and have a flexible schedule around my seven-year-old son’s school schedule. I’m usually up around 7 AM and have plenty of availability throughout the week. I’m happy to communicate with each pet parent and work together to find a schedule that works well for everyone. I’m very attentive to detail and always make your pet’s safety and comfort a priority. I understand that some owners prefer minimal communication while they’re away, so I try to respect that while still keeping them updated when needed. If I’m ever unsure about something, I’ll always ask rather than make assumptions. My home has plenty of space for pets to relax and play, along with a fully fenced backyard where they can safely go potty and enjoy some outdoor time. We have a calm, quiet home with few people coming and going, which helps pets feel comfortable. There is usually someone home, so pets are rarely left alone. If they do need to be alone, it would typically be no longer than 2–3 hours.

“Teresa is an incredible dog and house sitter. She sat our critters (dog, cat, chickens, and gecko) while we were away on a short vacation. She made sure our pup was happy and secure while we were away. She secured the hens each night and made sure to turn on their light as needed. Teresa’s communication was incredible throughout the whole process. We trusted her completely and would strongly recommend get.”

“Eric did a great job with the dogs and made friends with our cat, which only likes us occasionally. The house was clean, the plants watered, and he took the time to send us daily pics. Eric was great.”

“Chardonay and Ben are officially added to my list of dependable house and dog sitters! They took care of my two dogs, Fernando and Dolly, at my house while I was away for 4 days and I could not be more pleased. First and foremost, both the dogs were obviously well cared for and I received photo updates. From the get-go, Nando and Dolly took to Chardonay and Ben right away, and I felt reassured and could tell they were at ease with caring for dogs. Second, the house and yard were in immaculate condition when I returned. Seriously, spotless. Third, they are just super nice and great communicators both off- and online. Highly recommended!!!”
