About: My family has a border collie of our own at home and he has always needed tons of care. As a herding dog, he’s always been an energetic and high maintenance guy. I have been looking after his needs since I was 10, along with an host of other small animals (2 hamsters, a fishy, and a trio of pet rats!) and I’d be delighted to show your pets the same level of love and care I show my own. 🐶🐱🐹🐍🦜 I’m also an elementary education major with a minor in inclusive/special ed. I am no stranger to the patience and care that goes into teaching and taking care of little humans, and that extends to animals as well. While I am home for the summer, I would love to look after your furry friends (and they’re free to help me with my school work for summer classes, too)! I am home for a short time this summer, before I move into a house in Bellingham with some of my peers. Because I am taking classes remotely this summer quarter, I will be able to care for your pets whenever I am needed! I am able to do potty breaks, walks, feeding, anything your pet needs. I will do my very best to ensure they have the care they require to make them comfortable.
About: Hi there my name is Kelsey and I am have centered my life around the health and well being of our furry friends. I’ve spent the last 6 years working in pet insurance and have gained a lot of knowledge about how to create healthy and safe environments for our animals. My own dog turns 14 this year and people still ask me if she is a puppy because of how active and happy she is around others. I always treat every animal as if they are my own and would be honored to do so for your pet too. I’m currently working from home on my own business in the field of digital marketing and have missed being around pets in the office. My availability is based on my own schedule and can be very flexible. I have a fenced yard on over an acre of land and lots of non-harmful plants that my dogs loves to sniff around. When the dogs are outside I will be right there with them enjoying the afternoon.
About: I grew up around animals my whole life! I showed dogs and goats in 4H for multiple years! And look forward to looking after yours! I would log to walk dogs to get in both our exercise! I promise to do everything asked of me for your precious pup (s) and my hopes that you want me to dog sit for you again! I do care deeply, respecting your house and your animals. Dog sitting fits seamlessly into my flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable and attentive care whenever it’s needed. With the freedom to set my availability, I can easily accommodate last-minute bookings, daily check-ins, or extended stays. This flexibility ensures that I can offer dependable service while maintaining a balanced routine, making me a trustworthy and adaptable sitter for both pets and their owners. I treat your home with the same respect and attention I give to your pet: I follow all your entry and security instructions, keep the space tidy, water any plants, and collect mail or packages as needed. I’ll stick to your guidelines for lighting, trash, and thermostat settings to maintain a lived‑in feel, and I’ll alert you immediately if anything seems amiss. You can rest easy knowing I’ll leave your home just as I found it—safe, secure, and ready for your return.
About: What sets me apart is my specialized expertise in puppy training and senior pet care, ensuring every furry friend receives tailored attention. I understand the unique needs of young pups for proper socialization and foundational training, and I provide gentle, compassionate care for older pets, managing medications and mobility challenges. Plus, I offer constant communication, sending regular updates and photos for your peace of mind. As a stay-at-home mom and part-time teacher, I integrate pet care seamlessly into our family routine. Mornings involve dog walks and feeding, plus checking on the chickens. Throughout the day, when not teaching, I provide playtime and attention for our dogs and cats. My retired father-in-law helps with potty breaks for the dogs, and my husband and I handle evening duties. The kids assist with age-appropriate tasks, making it a true family effort to ensure all our pets are well-cared for. When boarding pets in my home, my focus is entirely on providing a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment where your beloved companion can thrive while you're away. I treat every guest like part of our family, carefully integrating them into my home's routine alongside my own well-socialized dogs and cats. This means establishing a consistent schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and dedicated playtime, mirroring their home routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. I provide a cozy, designated space for each pet and their belongings. My priority is ensuring your pet feels loved, secure, and happy throughout their stay.
About: Hi! I'm Laney—an animal lover through and through 🐾 I currently share my home with two wonderful dogs (a purebred West German Shepherd and a GSD/Lab rescue), a sweet cat, two frogs, and I’ve cared for everything from fish and guinea pigs to rabbits and chickens. Over the years, I’ve fostered and raised over a dozen rescue cats, and my heart only grows bigger with each animal I meet. I’ve personally trained my youngest pup in leash manners, emotional regulation, and basic obedience like sit, stay, down, catch, shake, and “settle”—with the long-term goal of agility. I understand how unique each animal is, and I respect every training philosophy. Whether you use e-collars, prong, martingale, harness, or none at all—your dog, your rules. My role is to love and protect them in your absence, not to impose my beliefs. I treat every pet like family, offering structure, play, and peace of mind while you're away. I can’t wait to meet your furry (or feathery or scaly!) friend ❤️ I'm a special education teacher and currently off for the summer, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I do have a couple of family vacations planned, so please feel free to message me first to make sure I'm available on the specific dates you need. Most days, I'm flexible and available at almost any time! When I care for pets in your home, safety and trust come first. Your pet is my full focus—I never take my eyes off them while house sitting. I’ve learned little tricks like how to gently squeeze through doors without leaving them open, so your pet stays safely inside. I’m always watching to prevent chewing or any hazards because I know firsthand how fast an animal can get into trouble. I have personal experience with frogs, which is rare to find in pet sitters, so I understand the special care reptiles need. Plus, my own dog was a serious chewer as a puppy, so I truly understand how much you worry about their safety. I consider it a blessing that nothing ever happened to mine, and I would never let harm come to your baby on my watch. My goal is to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved while you enjoy your time away, so you can relax knowing they’re in truly caring hands.

She is very punctual, easy to communicate with, and has her own way of interacting with each dog to make them feel comfortable.

She seemed to know her stuff - which has paid off greatly whenever we wanted to go out for longer periods of time, but worried about our older pups health. Thank you Sierra, you are much appreciated!”

She goes above and beyond, whether it’s comforting a scared pet or helping a stray on the side of the road. Her compassion and dedication are unmatched, and she’s a true advocate for animals—always willing to step in and speak up for those who can’t. Any animal is lucky to have her in their corner.”
Delaney H.
“Through my interactions with Delaney, it clear she is a passionate, communicative, and knowledgeable caregiver! Seeing how she interacts with animals and is so in tune with them is amazing and truly something wonderful. Seeing her interact with both her dog as well as other dogs it is clear that Delaney has an in-depth knowledge and passion for working and caring for dogs and animals in general. She is quick to notice if a dog is starting to get over stimulated, or getting distraught, and quickly and effectively reassures the little (and sometimes big) guys and gets them regulated quickly! I have seen her do this by getting the dog away from the trigger, using kind and positive reinforcement such as treats to attain desired outcomes, as well as always keeping a calm and loving tone with dogs to help quell their anxieties. She is also great to work with as well as very knowledgeable of different training techniques which shows through with how well her own dog behaves,and is always kind and humble with both people and dogs alike. I have no doubt in my mind that Delaney will be an excellent person for taking care of your dogs! I’d let her take care of mine any day of the week and then some!”
