About: While growing up I have always had a dog in the home. I’m a huge dog lover and don’t know what I would do if I did not have a dog in my life. I remember when my parents let me chose our next dog when I was young. I chose a sheltie and named him Arrow. The reason for the name Arrow was when I went to pick him up I noticed in his fur on the back of his head was an arrow. I loved taking care of Arrow and we had a special bond! I loved taking him on walks and he loved chasing me around the house. When I turned 15 I started to take care of one of my neighbors cats and fish when they went on vacations. After completing one summer, I started taking care of their cats and fish for the next eight years before I moved out. Once the rest of my neighbors found out I was known in the neighborhood for taking care of my neighbors dogs and cats when they were on vacations! I have also taken care of many of my coworkers cats and dogs as well. So rest assured your pet will be in good hands while you are on vacation. It will be one less stress to worry about. I currently work full time, however work three 12 hours shifts. I’m currently off Friday-Monday. So I’m available for the weekends, so perfect for anyone wanting to do a weekend getaway! I do work graveyard so I’m available anytime after 2pm on Fridays. However, if you need to drop of earlier just communicate so I can plan ahead. My girlfriend and I live in a townhouse. I don’t have a fenced backyard. However, have a small backyard that is used for potty breaks. It does have a small area of grass turf (fake grass). The good news we live in Fairview in the Fairview Terrace community. We have a very large area for dogs. So your dog will have lots of playtime in the grassy area. Also, the neighborhood is perfect for walking your dog as well. The community is fenced and a gated community as well. Our community is very dog friendly and many pet owners. We also have a micro mini Golden doodle. So your dog will have a playmate as well. We can also send photos of your pet to you while on vacation to help with the separation. I know when I go on vacation I have a hard time leaving my fur baby behind. For me, getting photos of my fur baby made the vacation a little easier!

About: What sets me apart is how I treat any animal as a kid - in the most loving, playful, and caring way! I love all animals and enjoy getting to know each and every personality! I work part time and go to school full time online! I’m home or walking on hikes most of the time so being home for in home care or walks in your home should be no problem! I offer a dedicated area for each animal in our home with a tv for comfort - haha and a bath provided if need be, medication exchange, and tons of play time!

About: I've had cats and dogs most of my life. I frequently watch my sister's 3 small dogs as well as my friends larger Pitbull mix. But have house sat and pet watched for dozens of other friends through the years. I had the great pleasure of volunteering at Elephant Nature Park elephant rescue in Chiang Mai Thailand for a week earlier this year. I paid for the privilege of scooping poo, preparing food and other duties 😊 It was one of my life's great pleasures. I drive for Uber and Lyft, as well as substitute teach, so my schedule can be very flexible depending on your needs. Contact me and I'm sure we can work something out. I just moved into a new duplex that has a fenced yard so boarding might be possible. We have a 3 year old border collie who would love to keep your dog company.

About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience volunteering at animal shelters and fostering abused dogs. During that time, I worked closely with dogs of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors who need extra patience and care. In addition to dogs, I’ve also fostered bunnies, guinea pigs, and cats, which has given me a deep understanding of different animal needs and personalities. Through fostering, I ended up adopting two dogs, one bunny, and a cat who never found their forever home. Our home is built around obedience, fulfillment of each pet’s individual needs, and plenty of calm, relaxing moments. I’m comfortable administering medications and caring for pets who require extra attention. I also offer dog training services, specializing in fearful dogs, obedience training, puppy training, and working through food aggression. My dogs have their own separate room, and my bunny has his own space as well, so your furry family member will not interact with them. We also have a private, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and decompress in a secure environment. I work from home so I usually edit my schedule to my pets needs. My work is really flexible since I’m self employed and that helps me create my own schedule so I don’t need to leave your baby unattended at all. I have a private, fully fenced yard, and I’m happy to crate your dog or give them their own space if needed. I always like to learn about each dog’s likes, dislikes, and daily routine so I can keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible, adjusting to what they’re already used to rather than creating sudden changes. For safety reasons, I do not offer off-leash walks or dog park visits.

About: First year veterinary student seeking summer work. Have owned a pet sitting and dog walking business since I was 14 years old. Experience caring for many animals including difficult and friendly cats, all sizes of dogs, and common exotics. Additionally, I volunteered with dogs and occasionally cats, at the SW Humane Society, and I volunteered at the Oregon Zoo's family farm. Since, then I have worked at East Padden Animal Hospital as a Veterinary Technician Assistant, worked as an Animal Care Tech at the WSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital, and went on a veterinary outreach trip in Cusco, Peru where I traveled with a WSU group to provide free veterinary medicine clinics to the underserved surrounding communities. Lastly, I spent a few months working on a sheep and goat farm in Ellensburg, WA and was on the WSU Equestrian Competitive Team for four years. I also grew up with many pets and spent a lot of my childhood also caring for and training my neighbors and friend's pets. I have a lot of experience and exposure to all types of animals, of any size. I own two cats currently and with the weather getting nicer I am looking for lots of dogs to walk since I don't currently have the time to care for my own. So hire me to watch and walk your sweet precious babies!!! I don't have many plans for this summer so I am looking for some extra dogs to walk and other animals to play with and I will have most of the day free, to do so. If I am doing an overnight stay, I will be at the client's house most, if not the whole time I would normally be at mine (i.e. anytime I plan to be home). My schedule is pretty flexible and I do my best to make your pets the priority of my schedule. I do drop ins and overnight stays. Normally drop-ins consist of 2-3 visits a day where I feed and walk or let the pets out, depending on the owner's preference for their pet's routine. During an overnight stay, I sleep at the owners house (more mentioned in my schedule) and care for the pets there. I also do dog walking. However, I do not provide pet sitting in my own home because I have my own pets.

About: From the moment I first encountered a playful pup at the age of nine, my heart was forever captured by dogs' boundless joy and unwavering loyalty. Since then, my life has been enriched by countless furry companions, each leaving an indelible pawprint on my heart. As I embarked on my journey in pet care, I discovered the profound joy of nurturing these loving creatures and the immeasurable rewards of companionship and connection. I have plenty of time to help take care of animals. I am also flexible on weekends. Would be able to walk your pet midday and evenings. Mornings are tough time for my availability. I am experienced with setting up a routine schedule for a pet: morning bathroom break, midday, and evening. Lunch and dinner are typically done first thing in the morning and evening. A morning walk or evening walk also works. Routines are great for animals.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages! Along with my own cat of almost 6 years, I’ve pet sat for many friends and family members. I currently work from home so my schedule is quite flexible! Generally, I am most busy between 7-10am. My afternoons are also flexible so I’m willing to work with your schedule! At the moment l, I can’t offer any boarding at my home but I’m more than happy to provide drop in visits! I’m dedicated to making sure your pet is happy, healthy and well played with!

About: I've spent years hanging out with all kinds of dogs and have had a few of my own for years, so I know what makes them tick. Whether it's a bunch of playful puppies or a sweet old dog, I've taken care of them all. I have experience with newborn litters and taken care of my own elderly dogs. Because of this, I can give your dog the perfect care they need to feel happy and loved, no matter how young or old they are! I currently work a full time job but I get fridays-Sunday off. During the weekends I’m free to take your pup on walks or even house sit while you’re gone enjoying some me time. Weekdays I usually have short days and can be flexible with my hours. I have a fenced back yard, and a lovely park not even 10 min away. They can spend time with me inside and outside my home.

About: I'm passionate about caring for animals and ensuring your home is guest-ready upon your return. My specialty is multi pet house holds. My goal is to spoil your animal friend following your specific instructions, whether that means lots of playtime and attention or a calm and quiet stay. Having lost my own amazing pets after many wonderful years, I understand the importance of love and respect in animal care. I treat your pet and home like my own, providing the same level of care you do. Whether you have a young or old companion, I'm committed to their comfort and happiness. I have extensive experience as a pet and house sitter for many friends and neighbors. I'm known for my detailed-oriented approach and ability to work with animals of all temperaments. I'm always happy to accommodate any special needs or routines. Additionally, I'm flexible with long-term rates and can help with pet supply shopping or consulting. I’m available for round the clock care or daily walks, and hour is best for an active dog but if we have an hour forest hike we don’t count the driving time. I have a fenced yard and wood floors, and a big cushy rug next to the heater. My area is great for taking long walks. My Partner sometime comes to share a meal or is available in case of emergency this is his profile below https://r.rover.com/j8v7qW

“My dog is a little timid with new people, but Renata takes such good care of him! She’s patient and kind and I’m so grateful to have someone I can trust with him. She’s reliable and great with communication. Highly recommend her, especially for nervous/shy puppers. 🩵”

Happy to accommodate all needs quirks, and particulates! You think your animal is picky? Try spoon feeding a princess of a gecko for 5 years.

I’m available for consistent drop-ins, longer visits when needed, and overnight house sitting with reliable presence and communication. I take safety and trust seriously and follow care instructions closely in each client’s home. I maintain a calm, respectful environment, keep doors and gates secure, and provide thoughtful updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I have been a pet owner for my entire life. I have experience with all different dog sizes and breeds, and I do particularly well with large dog breeds. I love spending time with puppies and helping to get them used to good behaviors. I also love helping train older dogs out of bad habits. I have yet to meet an animal that I haven't wanted to be friends with and I am very excited to spend time with your beloved pet. I currently work as a courier which means that I can fit pet care easily into my schedule. I am happy to fit pet needs into my schedule. Whatever your pet needs I am more than happy to help them with. I have my own car so I can take your pets to the park if that's something that they like. As long as their needs are laid out, I have no problem following instructions.

About: Ive taken care of friends, family and neighbors pets since I was a young child. I’ve worked with animals in multiple different environments and I can administer medication as well as provide a bath using my pet grooming station. I’m an animal lover of all kinds even the “big scary mean ones”. I lead a very active lifestyle and would love to be able to share that with your furry friend whenever you’re not able too! I also love teaching and training. There’s no better feeling for myself than when I can connect with an animal and build a bond. I’m currently working part time so I have a lot of available time to get outside and play with your furry friends. I take my own cats on walks several times a day we eat three limited ingredient meals a day and take regular baths and grooming sessions.
