About: I’m a single, remote worker with no pets of my own that’s got many pets in my life who I love! I’ve done pet sitting on both coasts ranging from elderly pets like dogs and cats to your non traditional like birds, goats, chickens, and pigs. I offer personalized services for your beloved family members like reading out loud, tucking them in for bed, taking them on hikes, out for a pup cup, play time, dressing them, to watching their favorite shows. Let me love your babies and I’ll show you a happy loved one! I’m single, a work from home school counselor, and have no pets of my own so I’m flexible to come to your space to do let your pet out, do long check-ins, walks, play, to overnight or extended stays. During the school year (August to Mid-May), I take a break from 12:30pm to 1:30pm and finish by 4 to 4:30pm. If you have wireless internet, I can bring my work with me so you have peace of mind your loved one can stay in their own space and not have any stress of being moved around. In my home, I do my best to make them feel at home and comfortable. I can bring their beds, toys, etc into my space and have a great, walkable area for them to explore all the smells. I am above a garage with a small porch that I can block off and hang outside with them. I love to love on your babies and introduce them to my local family and friends, especially my online students. My place is not huge, but I’ve hosted small to larger pets like labradors. For my clients, I have dropped in for a period of time, done overnights, extended stays, and even traveled and taken care of multiple pets and some farm animals to help them feel at ease knowing their babies are being taken care of like plant watering, egg harvesting, to mail and package pickup. I love to be around animals and work hard to ensure they feel loved, cared for, and a bit spoiled!
“Seemed like a great experience! Bingo got a walk AND a swim! First experience on River, so signed up for a full hour dog walk. The way Rover tracks it (with walking and driving all together) it’s hard to tell how much walking there was, but that’s no reflection on Marissa. She used great decision making choosing to take him for a dip and I really appreciate that🙏 I’m thrilled he got both activities! It was hot. He looked so happy with her!”
About: I am passionate about connecting with animals, people, new places on the Earth! I've been housesitting, farming and studying herbalism and health coaching for over 15 years, and I am a verified/vetted 5-star sitter on another international pet-sitting site. I have also worked as a trained naturalist/wildlife guide and vet tech, and have extensive training in the biology, care, track and sign of mammals. Housesitting/animal care has offered me a wonderful opportunity to include animals in my life now that my own two Aussies have passed. I love meeting and getting to know your lovable pets! I love to be healthy and don't smoke anything :) I work mostly online through my wellness & health coaching website. Therefore, it's easy for me to incorporate pet-walking and housesitting into my schedule, offering lots of attention, love, and exercise/activity to meet the needs of your pets. From caring for domestic pets (dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, mice) to farm animals (chickens, ducks, goats, sheep, horses), I love to create safe and loving environments for the animals and to foster trusting relationships with them. Many of my housesitting experiences have been longterm and return clients, with some assignments lasting up to a year. Often they have included garden and farm maintenance (paid). I pride myself on leaving a home as tidy as I found it (often even more sparkly :)
About: Passionate about pets!! With years of experience, I offer attentive care, playtime, and plenty of belly rubs. Your furry friend will be treated like family in a safe and loving environment. Let me provide a home-away-from-home for your pup. I work out of the home W and Fri. I normally take any dog I am watching to my sister on those days! Pet care is woven seamlessly into my daily routine, ensuring that furry friends receive the love and attention they deserve. From morning walks to playtime breaks throughout the day, I prioritize their well-being. Regular feeding schedules and ample cuddle time are essential components, creating a balanced and happy environment for pets under my care I have a fenced in yard with a doggy door. I follow specific instructions provided by the owner to maintain consistency and routine for their pets. I ensure their safety and comfort at all times, maintaining a clean and tidy space.
About: I grew up around horses, dogs, cats and any critter that came through our barn. I had an Australian Shepherd for 14 years, but when she passed on I moved into a more nomadic lifestyle out of my truck camper. This has made it difficult to have my own pets, but I love being able to play and help out others' fur babies whenever I get the chance! My work schedule is mostly during the day time either rafting or skiing season-depending. This routine can vary from having days off to take pups on a full hike, being around periodically throughout the day to feed/check in on pets or stay with animals overnight. Very flexible and willing to travel if needed! I will make sure your pet is in whatever environment is most comfortable for them! I respect the house rules and make sure to keep to the routine that your fur baby is used to and happiest with!
“Clare was available to walk my dog on short notice while I was in town for a family wedding. After meeting her, I felt very comfortable and was able to relax and enjoy the event knowing my dog was in good hands.”
About: I am very responsible and treat the animals as if they were my own. As an anxious pet owner myself, I know leaving them can be very hard. With me they’re in good hands. I am currently working part time 3 days a week but I live with my mom and she is retired so she fills in for me when needed to ensure that your pup is never left alone for very long :) I have a large fenced in backyard. I have experience with reactive dogs and dogs with separation anxiety. I can provide anything from walks to boarding to hang out time and have experience with giving medicine.

About: My experience petsitting begun when I was very young, taking care of neighbors beloved pets. It helped me in understanding many different types of animals.

I am currently working part time for a non-profit so I have time to take care of higher need pets and ensure play time as well as facilitating other house needs. I have my own dog in my home, but because of roommates, I unfortunately cannot offer my home as a service for your pet needs.

“Kim picked up my dog Coco super last minute (like 30 min after I contacted her!) and gave her a nice hour long walk so I could pack for a trip. Coco came home super happy and tired and ready to sleep in the car on our road trip. Thanks Kim!”
About: Hi, I would love to take care of your sweet fur babies! I have had animals my entire life, so I have many years of experience. I will treat your pets as if they were my own: spoiled rotten! I find a special connection with each animal I encounter. I truly believe with animals, we humans can experience unconditional love. I have cared for dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and even a deer named Burt! I am very active, so if your animal needs high activity, I’m your girl! I have also taken care of senior dogs (my own), blind doggies, and a very grumpy cat. I teach yoga and Pilates, so I have a flexible schedule, with plenty of time to spend with your babies.
“Rebecca went over and above coming a few days early to meet Kona and ask some questions about walking in our area. She was a solid communicator on game day and even sent a pic of the walk.”
About: Grew up with a cat. Been watching and walking dogs since I was a kid. Would also love to offer hikes and runs for dogs too. I work from home and have a flexible schedule so can shoot of to walk or run or water or feed pets at a moments notice. I love to have dogs off leash when they are trust worthy. Otherwise on lead walks are a great way to keep pets safe. Also double checking locks when dropping them home
About: I am a retired teacher who loves dogs! Your dog will become part of our family during their stay with access to a fenced yard, a neighborhood park, plenty of walks and lots of snuggles. We have a backyard deck and front porches perfect for lounging and watching the world go by. I would be happy to help take care of any dog that gets along well with other dogs. I have experience with many dog personalities and temperaments from volunteering at Austin Pets Alive and Hood River Adopt-A-Dog. My availability is flexible and I am typically home the majority of the day. I will send frequent pictures and updates while you are away. We are able to watch 2 dogs from the same family, but we do tend to only have pets from one family at a time. We will send a link for a brief survey when we receive your boarding request in order to help us get to know your pup better. We take walks in wooded areas, so we ask that visiting dogs be on a flea/tick preventative. Also, we ask that visiting pups be comfortable negotiating laminate stairs since we live in a 3 story house. Thanks! We are retired and so are available to care for your pup. We will take your dog for a daily walk at one of the many outdoor natural spaces that the area has to offer. We have a fenced back yard which is accessed from the 2nd floor. If your dog prefers to cuddle in a crate, we have a crate.
