Pet Sitting in Gertrude

“Ellyanna was great for drop in visits for our cat while on vacation! She was excellent at communicating, understood our cat’s needs, and was flexible on changes we needed too. Would definitely work with her again!”

“Sierra is so great with our pets! She leaves us at ease and able to enjoy vacations while we’re away knowing they are taken care of. We’ll definitely be using her again!”

“Emilie was wonderful with our cat, Sunshine! Sunshine is very shy around those he does not know but, made friends quickly with Emilie! She showed up to feed him and spent time with him and let him stretch his legs out on the lanai. She showed up on time both days and my home was safe and sound and our Sunshine was happy and comfortable when we returned home. 😊 Emilie I cannot thank you enough for looking out for Sunshine! Thank you for being so kind and helping us out this weekend!”

“This was a last minute request and Silke was super responsive to all messages. Her communication was clear and prompt. I felt very safe with her and she more than delivered on her promises. I am very hapoy and will use her again.”

About: I have multiple pets already and they all get along with other animals really well, I am the same way and really just enjoy being around animals of all types, and they are often better then having kids. For my own pets it’s everyday all the time, and it would be the same for your pets. Anytime help is needed I can answer that call. My pets have their own rooms, we go on walks everyday, they all have insurance on them, they get fed twice a day and have constant access to water. And most importantly lots of love, attention, and siblings to play with.

“Liza was referred by a sitter I’ve used in the past that I have great confidence in. Liza was flexible and easy to communicate with. I appreciated the updates she provided and could see that my kitty felt safe a comfortable in her care. Thanks Liza!”

About: I had the privilege of growing up on a farm with animals of all kinds (sheep, steers, chickens, cats, and dogs)! Over the years we've been pet owners of dogs, rabbits, and fish. I (and my whole family) are passionate and committed to the care of each animal we are entrusted with, whether it's our own or someone else's. We have also had the opportunity to care for many pets; doing farm chores for neighbors, feeding and walking neighborhood dogs, and house/farm sitting so that not only pet parents (or farmers) get the freedom to be away, but also gain the ease of mind that their beloved animals are getting their needs met through special care. In our home, my family and I will be sure to go above and beyond through playing, grooming, exercising, and loving. I am a stay at home mom doing the primary care of your pooch. My kids (ages 11-17) do an online school program so they are home as well. Your sweet pup will be well loved and well taken care of. We will give your dog reliable and consistent care; we'll take the time to get to know you, your pet, and the instructions for care. In order to do that, we would love to set up an introductory "meet 'n' greet." We currently are pet free but have an extra kennel, hardwood floors, and a totally enclosed back and side yard! Your dog will have unlimited access to both our home and our yard and will get to go on outings with us.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was really young! I had lots of different pets growing up, so I have experience with all types of animals. I have done pet sitting before, by myself and helping my sisters. I am currently on summer break before I go to college at the end of September, so I have lots of free time to take care of pets! I have lots of free time to check on the pets and stay in the house, whatever is needed! I love going on walks, so I have no problems taking your pets for walks or being outside with them!

About: My schedule allows me to have the utmost flexibility to love on your pets and play with them day and night. I find a lot of joy in staying active and bringing peace of mind to pet parents while they travel, work and live their busy lives. I am currently working minimally part time and have lots of flexibility for overnights, walks, playtime and pop ins. I am always completely off of Fridays and the weekends and work Mon-Wed 9-12pm so I can make just about anything work! It is very important to me that you feel excited for your trip or whatever you are doing that you are needing pet care for. I know having pets can create a lot of stress and planning when you go to leave them so I make it my mission to make sure they feel right at home and in their normal routine. I will send you daily pictures if you'd like and am happy to be flexible to keep the pets in their schedule and environment.

About: I have a true love for all animals, and I am dedicated to helping people take proper care of their pets. If you want someone who knows what they’re doing, and will love your animal dearly, give me a try! I have a 4-year-old pup at home whom I care for every day. For this summer especially, my schedule is more open and flexible, allowing me to easily help out you and your pet. I am always super gentle and friendly with animals, and am good at reading body language. I have had animals all my life, and feel confident that I will keep your pet safe and happy!

About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs throughout high school and college. As a recent college graduate, I have ample free time to care for your furry friends! With an active dog of my own, I know the importance of long walks and lots of attention! I am free to care for your dogs on days I am not working or in class! I typically don't work weekends and am off in the afternoon. When caring for pets in your home, I will keep them entertained and devote my full attention to them. We will have lots of exercise and I'll be sure to send you updates!

About: Hello, my name is Abella and I am 20 years old! I love animals of all shapes and sizes, young and old! And on top of that I love being able to help people in any way I can! I am more than willing to stay with your pet(s) overnight if need be. I have also personally had a specials needs dog, so that does not turn me away. Whatever you may need, in regards to the care of your pet, I am up for anything! I’m working part time, and hoping to make some extra money on the side doing something I love, I work 4-6 hour shifts and other than that I would be with your pets all the time! I’ve recently moved to the area and I would love to get to know your furry friends!! I would come over to your house, as your pets will be more comfortable in their home environment. Whatever you may need I am willing to do; whether that be walking, bathing, feeding, giving meds, etc.

“Zarah, was great! She put my mind at ease. Her gentle spirit and good communication made working with her so very smooth. Will be reaching out to her again for sure.”

About: I love animals of all kinds and would love to spend some time with your pets. My special gift is to bond with your pet and make sure they feel comfortable and relaxed so they can enjoy time with me as much as I enjoy time with them. I go the extra mile to make sure your pet is thoroughly exercised but also gets a good dose of love and fun. I'm a calming presence for nervous animals, a fun but gentle pal for playful ones, and I love long walks and hikes with active dogs. I take my responsibility for other people's animals very seriously and take all possible precautions to keep them safe and healthy. I also know how much you miss your pets during the day and am happy to send pics and updates so you know they're ok! **I'm sorry but I can't accept new bookings in Gig Harbor or on the peninsula** I'm a freelance artist with a flexible schedule. I prioritize getting exercise outdoors in all weathers, and having a walking companion is a great bonus! If your pets are in my home, they'll have my gentle, sweet poodle named Birdie to hang out with in our fenced backyard. If we're in your home, we'll hang out wherever your pets are safe and comfortable.

“Evelyn was super. Did everything I asked and then some. Managed the pups well and spent good quality time with them kept me updated on her visits and how the dogs were going. Very nice and professional. Would recommend her to anyone seeking a good sitter.”

About: I’ve had a range of pets from turtles, cats, dogs to hamsters. I absolutely love furry friends and because I travel often I want to help within my community the best I can. I love spoiling doggos and because right now I don’t have the space to own one myself, I have so much love to share with the furry ones. I’m currently working part-time as a SUBSTITUTE teacher during the summer, but I would love to find families or people who need an extra hand with doggy care. Weekends are more open, but I have a flexible schedule. I have a car with backseat covers so that your dog can safely be transported to go on wax just about anywhere. And I think dogs feel the most comfortable in their own home so whether the service is in Home or out of home, I will treat your dog with the best care and support them to feel the most happy while with me.

“Samantha is an incredible pet sitter - she did daily check-ins with my 3 dogs for several weeks and was always on time, very reliable, and my dogs love her! During this time one of my dogs passed away and she went out of her way to adjust it through Rover even though I didn’t ask her to do so. She was so kind to us during that time as well. I will definitely have Samantha watch my dogs again!”

About: Passionate and devoted animal lover with years of experience in pet care, including personal ownership and watching friends' pets. Your furry companions will receive trusted and compassionate care. Previously a Forester, now currently in between jobs, so I have a decent amount of free time while pursuing some side quests to get by. Depending on what is needed specifically from the pet owner I will tailor my approach according to that, but giving them the same amount of care and attention that I do with all critters.

“Winnie texted pics to let us know our animals looked just fine with us gone. Even our recluse cat was there to greet us and he never appears for awhile after we’ve been gone! He must have felt comfortable with her there. We are looking forward to Winnie pet sitting for us again.”
