About: Hello - I am Ra. I have loved animals all my life! But my love deepened when I become a puppy raiser for a future assistance dog during covid. His name is Felix (yellow lab). I picked him up when he was 2 months of age and he left for his former training from my care/home at the age of 14 months. One year of a strong bond, weekly/monthly training sessions, creating unique experiences for his professional development and many personal memorable moments later, it was time to say goodbye and it wasn’t an easy farewell. He left for his formal 6 month training to Oregon and in Dec 2022, I had the opportunity to say my final goodbye when he graduated and officially become an assistance service dog. It fills my heart to know that today he is an assistance dog to a lovely lady who he is his life long companion and through his service, he lives a purposeful life. 10 days before he left, I adopted Charlie (yellow lab), who confidently came into life through Felix. It was as if Felix knew I would need a companion of my own after his departure and wanted to leave me with a long term friend. Today Charlie is an extension of my love for Charlie himself and Felix - and Chase! (Chase is my 15 yr old yorkie who passed away last year peacefully in sleep, leaving us so grateful for his presence in my family’s life). Animals are remarkable creatures and they give us so much joy and ask for very little in return. I would love to give some joy back to your loved ones so let me take good care of your companions, they deserve all the love and care we can provide! [Note: the organization I volunteered with to become a puppy raiser for future assistance dog is called Dogs for Better Lives (DBL)] I'm currently working as a consultant, remotely. My schedule is very flexible and open to meet your schedule and service needs - send me a note! I will be taking care of your companion at your home based on your requirements and requirements of the individual pet as directed/needed. They will get lot of love, care and attention from me!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk & feed their pets. I've had animals ever since I was 12 years old & never an empty house without pets I'm currently working part-time so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I'm available on weekdays and weekends to give some love to your furry pets ;) I have a fenced yard and two loving friendly dogs myself that can keep your fur baby company. I can easily Kennel your dog if needed as well.

“I would definitely recommend Bailey to anyone looking for a sitter to drop in on their cat(s). I hired Bailey to drop in on my cat over a 3ish week timespan. She followed instructions carefully and, more impressively, was able to get my very shy cat to open up to her. For context, my cat is extremely wary of strangers and hides when unfamiliar people are at my house. I was very happy to eventually see pictures of my cat happily cuddling up to Bailey. Bailey also clearly cares about providing excellent care to her clients’ animals.”

About: I grew up with a family dog and have so many wonderful memories of helping care for her as well as many other dogs of friends and family. I love providing pet care because I get to fully focus my attention on the pets, which can often be more difficult to do in other settings when other humans are involved. I love to try and give the pets I'm caring for whatever they need during my sessions with them, whether that be walking/playing or getting lots of pets and back scratches in. My wife has been a Rover sitter for 7+ years and I've accompanied her on quite a few visits as well -- we are both great pet people and love to love pets however our clients want that to happen :) I'm currently in school full-time, but have some afternoons as well as evenings and weekends available to help with pet visits and pet care. I will be happy to be flexible with my schedule as possible to accommodate your pet care needs! I love to play with pets, encouraging movement and both physical/mental stimulation. I have lots of experience playing with dogs and cats and generally feel very comfortable doing those activities in an engaging and fun way for the animals. I also love walking and have a great time helping dogs get out and about, experience the wonderful smells of the world, and then get home safely for another nap. I understand that pets can be very different in how quickly they want to get to know a new person, so I try to be adaptable based on whether a dog is anxious, excitable, etc.

“Litian and Junyi took great care of our cat and the house during our week long trip to Japan. Despite the 16 hour time difference due to our travel, they communicated well and gave us timely update on our cat's status. Our house was take care of as well -- Litian and Junyi voluntarily brought in the garbage bins, and moved any packages inside. We can't be happier with choosing Litian and Junyi. Would gladly hire then again.”

Bridle Trails, Kirkland, WA, 98033

About: I am a stay-at-home-mom, and I absolutely adore dogs. I have grown up around dogs until ultimately I got my children their very own puppy four years ago. Before I got my Golden Doodle/Lab mix, I practiced quite a lot by dog-sitting for neighbors and family. I have housed both large and small dogs, and have experience with puppies all the way up to older pups. I am home doing only part-time work, so I have a lot of time to play with the dogs in my large, fenced yard, and there are several parks nearby (Bridle Trails, Taylor, South Rose Hill and Snyder dog park) where I can walk them and make sure they get plenty of exercise. Dogs are doted on, cuddled, and played with a lot, in my household. I love taking the time to get to know each dog I take care of, and I will work diligently to meet each individual dog's needs and personalities. I am a very active person all year round, so being outdoors with dogs is one of my favorite things. The dogs I care for will be well-attended to, and you can be sure they will have a blast in the large yard, and enjoy plenty of outside time. My children are 9 and 13, and will also heap love on the dogs in the home. The kids will never be left unattended with any dogs, but they are great helpers and assistants. Our dog, Dublin is four years old, and loves all dogs and people. He has a wonderful temperament and has spent quite a bit of time being socialized, and also being boarded in a home with several other dogs. I spent two years training him when he was a puppy and he is just a joy to be around–sweet, playful, well-behaved, and flexible. I can accommodate any dog-sleeping preferences. I have a large crate, as long as the dog is crate trained. I also have a dog ledge near the sofa where dogs can lounge, sleep or play with toys, as well as different size dog beds that are cleaned regularly. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on beds in my home.

Amy was beyond what we could have asked for. We were in a bind needing a pet sitter who could care for our cat that had just come home from the ER vet. Amy administered subcutaneous fluids, oral antibiotics and medication, and did feedings through a feeding tube for our sweet cat. She even found time to give our other cat all of the attention he needed too. She went above and beyond the call of duty on multiple occasions. She was extremely responsive, flexible, and understanding of our situation. We would work with her again in a heartbeat.

We love Bailey!! Not only was she was the most amazing sitter for our furbabes, but she even paid attention to the smaller details by cleaning up a few “well-loved” pet spaces in our home while we were away. She’s incredibly communicative and so easy to work with, too. If I could give 10 stars, I would!
