House Sitting in Guide Meridian, Bellingham, WA

“Ryan was fantastic! He kept us informed with regular updates and pictures, all the while taking incredible care of our pup Ida. We plan on calling on Ryan for dog care in the future.”

“Kayli is so great! She was so attentive and knowledgeable and kind with our three dogs and other small pets. We can’t wait to hire her again!”

“Kaila was an absolute gem! She communicated often & sent great pictures reassuring me that Max was living the dream and Piper was relaxed and being social. My apartment was left super tidy and my " kids" were obviously well taken care of. I won't hesitate to hire Kaila again!”

“Jessica took great care of our pup. She clearly has a lot of knowledge and familiarity with dogs and we felt very comfortable leaving town knowing she was taking care of our 9 month old puppy. I wholeheartedly recommend her!”

“Mikayla did an amazing job watching our dog Luna while we were away for the night. We got home to our place cleaner than when we left it and a very tired and well taken care of hound! Couldn’t recommend Mikayla high enough and we will definitely be repeat customers. Thanks for everything Mikayla!!!”

“Mika took such great care of my dogs… I could not have asked for a better sitter. My dogs can be a handful and a little picky, but I felt comfortable leaving them with her. She provides great communication and goes above and beyond! Thank you so much.”

“Ruby was fantastic! My dog absolutely loved her!”

“Kallie was great with our dogs. She took them on walks and spoiled them. They loved staying with her and she left the house looking spotless.”

“I can't express enough gratitude for the incredible care and attention my pets received from Daisy, our trusted petsitter. Leaving my furry family members behind used to fill me with anxiety, but with Daisy, I know Gus is in the best hands possible. Her genuine love for animals shines through in every interaction, and I always return to happy, well cared for pets. Daisy goes above and beyond to accommodate my pets' individual needs, providing updates and peace of mind while I'm away. I wholeheartedly recommend Daisy to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate petsitter.”

“Jayde watched our pups in our home for two nights. We have used several different services for watching our dogs when we go out of town. This is the first time I legitimately feel like they weren't stressed while we were gone. The dogs were very loved and well taken care of. Jayde was also really good about updating us with pictures of the pups during her stay with them, and regularly took them on walks, even when it was raining. I would love to have Jayde watch our pups again.”

“Vicki is trustworthy and a very gentle and honoring lover of pets and people. She listens and pays close attention to details so she can care for your precious ones well and give them the unique and specific care they need. I trust her with my pets and she is one that you'd actually feel comfortable having in your home, I even allow her into my business dealings because she deals so honestly and straight forward.”

“Elle did a wonderful job house sitting! William adores her and was tired from all of their physical activity! House was perfect and William was happy! I’ve already booked with her again.”

“Emily did great with my two kitties. She was communicative and sent a lot of pictures! Booking her again for sure”

“Lynn is an amazing dog sitter. She babysat our 80lb teddy bear for 5 days and we couldn't be happier. Our dog looks wonderful and she updated us daily with photos and stories. The retired paramedic is exactly what you need if you want a high-end dog sitter you can trust in your home.”

“This is my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have had a better experience! Stone was such a sweet and responsible person who gave me reassurance that my pup and place would be in good hands. After her wonderful dedication I will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her service to anyone looking.”

“Sarah did a great job with Odin. She was able to give him the the care he needed and he loved spending time with her.”

“I was hesitant to hire a house/dog sitter who I didn't know, but Jenny was awesome! She took Winston on lots of walks, sent me pics of my happy boy each day, and left my house exactly the way she found it. Thanks Jenny!”

About: *About our place We are in the Cordata neighborhood. Rover map is incorrect! 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.
