About: **Pet Care Experience** I deeply care for dogs, cats, farm animals, reptiles, and amphibians, especially those who struggle with fear, anxiety, or past traumas. With 25 years of personal caregiving experience and 15 years of dedicated training in animal husbandry, I have devoted my life to understanding and nurturing all kinds of animals, whether they are beloved pets or cherished farm companions. My approach is rooted in modern, scientifically-proven training methods that prioritize positive reinforcement, gentle redirection, and fear-free handling. I am committed to building trust, confidence, and safety in every interaction, and I truly believe in meeting each animal where they are emotionally, honoring their unique pace and individual needs. Above all, my goal is to create a nurturing environment where every interaction is restorative, joyful, and filled with unconditional love and patience. I understand the journey of coming out of your shell, and I strive to provide a calm, safe space where animals can heal, trust, and ultimately thrive. I also have experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, and adapting my care to meet special needs. Whether your animal needs gentle reassurance or playful companionship, I am here to offer compassionate, personalized care that respects and supports their unique journey. Pet care is a significant part of my life, and I have set aside time in my schedule to provide attentive and compassionate care on weekends, Mondays, and Tuesdays. I am available Monday and Tuesday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. For an additional fee, I am also available to work on Wednesdays through Fridays starting after 9:00 a.m. I offer flexibility on weekends if extra care is needed, as well as overnight stays and holiday care upon request. By focusing my care on these specific days, I can give each animal my full attention, patience, and love, ensuring a positive and supportive experience every time we are together. Every pet deserves to feel safe, respected, and comfortable in their environment. Whether I'm caring for pets in my own home or in a client's home, I prioritize creating a calm, structured, and positive space tailored to each animal’s needs. In my home, pets enjoy enrichment activities such as lick mats, playtime, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day. I have a fully fenced backyard with 6+ foot tall fences for safe outdoor play and private areas where dogs can rest undisturbed if they need a break from other animals. Every animal is welcome on the couch for snuggles and is encouraged to feel at home. I utilize gentle, positive reinforcement and maintain clear, consistent routines to help pets feel secure. For animals with fear, anxiety, or a history of trauma, I prioritize slow introductions, patience, and fear-free handling to build trust at their own pace. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, ensuring that pets' surroundings remain familiar and stress-free. I follow instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and behavior protocols closely, maintaining consistency and safety. I am also attentive to environmental safety—checking gates, securing leashes, and removing hazards—and I communicate regularly with pet parents to provide peace of mind. My goal is always to provide gentle, reliable care that fosters trust and confidence in both pets and their humans.

“Cody was great! Prompt, professional, incredibly kind and gentle with our new dog. Will be working with him on a weekly basis and couldn't be happier”

“As always, Andy was great with George! It made a huge difference knowing he’d be taken care of while I was out in the mountains. I was out of cell service (so I couldn’t get the notification the walk started), but I knew I didn’t have to worry with Andy! That allowed me to fully relax and enjoy my day.”

“Autumn took great care of my boys on very short notice of needing a dog walker! Very sweet and provided updates with pictures :) will definitely recommend and use her again!”

Lindsey H.

“Rachael did a great job caring for our small dog who isn’t the friendliest to strangers. She took him on long walks and was great at communicating with us. Would definitely use her again.”

“Hi I just wanted to a minute and talk about how amazing Heidi is! Heidi is so great with Bruno, I've seen such a change in him since she's been in his life. When I get home and take him out he's happier and more relaxed than before. With my partner's and my schedules being so different Heidi has helped us to not worry about Bruno being anxious waiting for us to go outside. His quality of life has gone up and it shows! We love having Heidi we're very grateful at how skilled she is with Bruno, she's so amazing😁❤️”

About: Hii! I’m Rya, I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a kid and loved animals since. I love taking care of them as well as learning each behaviors. Please keep in mind I do have a pup of my own, who is fixed and has all her shots. She’s goofy and loves other dogs. I want to be able to help people take the stress off. My dog has separation anxiety and I’ve learned in multiple ways how to help with that. She is also friendly with cats as she grew up with two since she was 6 months till a year and a half. Pet care is currently part of my every day and weekly routine. I have my pup Sage who is an active deerhound/doodle mix. She keeps me on my toes. My availability is Su-Sa at this time. Not every dog is the same in how they are cared for. I would like to discuss with you a little prior to know your dogs behaviors, if there’s any triggers or anything that benefits them the most.

“Jeffrey was very responsive, timely, friendly and communicative! Appreciate his extra attention and patience with our senior dog, and of course love the pics! Would love to have him again!”

About: Hi! I am Ro! I take my pet's care very seriously and that is how I will be providing care for yours. I have experience taking care of litter of puppies, brachiocephalic breeds, special needs dogs and high energy breeds. My spouse and I have 3 dogs and 3 cats. Our french bulldog has a megasophagus and my GSD have had surgeries, so we have experience taking care of pets intensively for a while. My cats have been raised with dogs around and are calm towards dogs. I have a German Shepherd, a Brittany and a French Bulldog, all very friendly and playful. We have a big and a small fenced yard and plenty of toys. A day for your dog in my house would consist of plenty of potty breaks, supervised yard time/play time, time alone with me relaxing, lick mats, puzzles, a daily walk, and play time with my dogs (if the owner allows interaction and they get along). I run a tight ship, so my dogs and your dogs will be just fine coexisting together or I can also provide care without my pets around. We are long time Rover users, so we will definitely treat your dogs as we would like our pets to be taken care of. Please let me know any food allergies. *At this time, I am only boarding 1 (2 if they are family) pet at a time to provide everyone a quality care and alone time. I work from home and I am able to take several breaks for potty breaks, feeding the dogs or supervised play time with my dogs or separated. All of my dogs are crate trained. I have a big and a small yard which would work to keep your pets and my pets seperate at all times, if needed. I can provide good care for dogs who don't do well with other dogs around as well.

“Laurie was the perfect walker for our 1 yr old wild puppy, Mizu. Our girl is a 60 lb ball of energy that is shy with new people and pulls like crazy while walking. While we were on vacation, Laurie spent a week getting Mizu on board with the walks, trying new techniques to control her pulling, and giving her much needed exercise. Mizu now looks expectingly waiting for Laurie to arrive.”

“Billy was great taking of Gorgo and our cats while we were gone for a few days. He even negotiated a tricky electronic lock situation that we had not anticipated.”

Adi D.

“Joline offered to walk my dog with another companion dog and without. Gigi is very dog friendly and really enjoyed walking with a new friend and I liked having the choice available. Joline brought my dog back safe and sound, and Gigi even gave her a small appreciation kiss! We would easily ask her to walk Gigi again, or even babysit her.”

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, both through raising my own two golden retrievers, Dunkin and Mercy, and helping friends and family with their pets. My approach to pet care is rooted in patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. From maintaining daily routines like feeding, exercise, and enrichment, to ensuring their health and safety during outdoor adventures, I take pride in creating a positive, trust-based bond with every animal I care for. Whether it’s energetic playtime, long hikes, or quiet moments at home, I treat every dog as if they were my own. Even with a full-time job, I make sure my dogs get plenty of love, exercise, and attention every day—morning walks before work, playtime or training sessions in the evenings, and longer hikes or adventures on the weekends. I will have lots of time off during the holidays to suit your needs. In my home, I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and feel right at home. I use baby gates to separate each floor, which helps manage space and keep everyone secure, especially during mealtimes or rest. I also have a cozy crate set up as a calm, designated space for downtime or naps. There are always plenty of toys, treats, and enrichment activities available to keep pets entertained and happy throughout the day.

“Wilma is phenomenal. Clearly knows dogs but it's obvious she's doing something she loves. She's quick to respond. Her communication is excellent and we are so grateful to have found her! We are looking forward to a long lasting relationship as our pups settle in to the Bellevue area.”

Niki K.

“Would ask her to care for me pup! She’s very sweet and patient.”

“Jenae was great with my dogs. Both my 15 year old senior dog and 8 month old puppy were well cared for and had fun with Jenae while I was at work. I’d recommend booking with Jenae for your pet care needs. Thank you for your help! 🙂”

About: Grew up around animals and love them all! I often watch family and friend’s furry companions. I am reliable, patient, and experienced. Can’t wait to meet your dog! Currently have a lot of free time on my hands! This means I can focus a lot of my time towards caring for your furry companions. Being a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your loved one with someone you trust. You can count on me to be communicative, attentive, and caring. We own a house with a front and back yard in a very walkable and safe area. We have two senior dogs at home, Olly is 14 and Bailey is 8. Available to give you text updates and pics throughout the day.

About: ​I’ve lived alongside animals almost my entire life...from cats and dogs to ferrets and chickens. Having cared for animals at all stages of life, I will strictly respect any accommodations your pet needs. I also know how hard it is to leave them! So whether your pet has endless zoomies or is a total couch potato... they’ll be safe, understood, and cared for exactly as they are. 💛 I work a balanced schedule of WFH and in-office hours. My availability reflects days that I am either off-work or can be flexible and WFH. You have a guarantee that I will be able to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout listed days. I have a non-fenced 800 sq-ft townhouse on a pet-friendly shared lot. Care in home (both in my home and your's) is negotiable and based on your preferences! In my home, your pet will be allowed on furniture and will be supervised during potty breaks outside. Please specify any crating preferences. (You will need to bring their crate and supplies with you.) I have a small, 13 y-o chihuahua mix who does well with other pups and may be in the home at the same time, if not with his spare humans! Potty breaks throughout the day. Walks usually occur in the afternoon unless otherwise specified.

“Kaleigh is so reliable, flexible and great with my big dog! She makes sure to communicate at every point so I know my dog well taken care of.”
