Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Guide Meridian

“We've had Emily take care of our cats while out of town since moving to Bellingham in 2024. Before, we often had our neighbors come to feed them. The difference is clear - the cats are not panicked or extra needy when we come home. It's more like: oh, good, you're back, is it time to eat? Emily is exceptionally reliable and communicative and we so appreciate knowing that she is taking care of our girls when we are away.”

“Azure was a wonderful sitter and my cat, Poppy, loves her. We are so happy to have found a person who is so loving and in touch with animals. I’m pretty sure Poppy is already looking forward to my next trip so she can get more special time with Azure.”

“Camille was very sweet and caring to my cat! She really cared about the specific routine we have and sticking to the instructions and tips I left. She left detailed notes through the app and lots of adorable pictures. It was good to know my cat was comfortable with her and enjoyed having someone there to care for her while I was gone.”

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.

“Our pets (and us!) love Audrey! 🥹 Love getting picture updates and having a carefree vacation even though we miss our babies. Thank you so much! Very professional and sweet.”

“We love Matt’s calm, yet assertive presence. Our dog seemed to really enjoy walking with him and heeled the majority of the time for him too! Amazing.”

“Alena was so sweet with my pup Mochi! She gave her lots of love and attention, made sure she was well exercised, and even worked on the current commands we are teaching. Alena is punctual, safe, and communicative. She is the best dog walker and sitter around!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, and to this day, I'm the go-to pet sitter in my family. I have a small dog who’s 4 years old and is very friendly with other dogs, cats, kids, and more. I’ve had him since he was a puppy and personally potty trained him, so I have plenty of experience with puppies. While I haven’t personally cared for a senior dog yet I have lots of free time and am confident I can give any senior dog with the care he or she needs. I'm currently doing some online classes, and I'm unemployed because I'm new to the Bellingham area so I have a bunch of free time to spend with your dogs. I live in an apartment so | don't have a yard for your pup to play in but I'll take your dog on walks very often and I personally take my dog to the dog park very regularly and would love to take yours too if you'd like.

“Karla arrived as planned and did what we asked her to do. From the pictures she sent, I know that the pups were glad that she was there and we certainly appreciated it! Thank you, Karla.”

“Patricia was incredibly responsive and kept us updated with adorable photos while we were away. It was clear from the start that she’s a true cat person with the patience and understanding needed for our little beasts. 😊”

“Madelyne went above and beyond taking care of my cat. She exceeded my expectations, as well as sent me daily text messages, videos, and pictures of my precious Julia. 10 out of 10 stars for sure. I highly recommend her if you want your pet more than well taken care of. ❤️❤️I’ll definitely use her again.”

About: I grew up with many animals in my house including dogs of all sizes and breeds. Every animal was well taken care of and properly trained. I am available throughout the day and night for periodic check in’s and walks. I am free all day on the weekends and can do holidays as well. My pets always come first. I pay attention to their every need and make sure they are as comfortable and happy as possible. I always go the extra mile to ensure proper care.

“Karlee was amazing as always!!! Took arya on a long run.”

Christy T.

About: I have over 5 years of dog walking experience and have been a pet lover my whole life! I look forward to helping your animals thrive and love life even more!! I have a very flexible schedule but between 7:30 am and 7 pm work best for me to watch over and care for your pets! Don’t feel afraid to reach out for scheduling outside of my preferred times though! I have an extremely friendly shepsky who would always love to join me while walking your dog(s) or taking care of your cats and/or dogs but he is 100lbs so I will always ask if that’s conducive with your wants and needs!

“Lindsay was an absolute joy to have as a dog sitter. She’s laid back, accommodating, easy to work with, responsive and friendly. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable person to care for their pets!”
