About: Of my 10 years of pet care experience, 8 of those years includes veterinary medicine. I love all different kinds of animals, and am good with all types of personalities, fear levels, and temperaments. I can also administer medications and care for pets with special needs. My other work is freelance, so my schedule is usually open and flexible. Overnight stays are easy for me to configure, and I'm able to prioritize your pets in my schedule. My main priority is the pets safety and happiness. I have experience de-escalating anxiety, redirecting aggression, and navigating tension between pets. I always double leash dogs for walks and I am experienced with all varieties of leash, walk, and play based behavior.

About: As a lifelong pet owner, I have cared for both dogs and cats, gaining valuable experience along the way. Currently, I have a rescue dog who requires specialized training and attention due to her anxiety and reactivity. Caring for her has taught me patience and equipped me with skills to work effectively with high-anxiety dogs. Before her, I had the joy of raising an easygoing pup who lived a long and happy life. These experiences have given me insight into the full spectrum of pet parenting. My background enables me to provide your pet with the utmost care and attention, ensuring their safety, happiness, and comfort while you’re away. I’m committed to creating a stress-free and nurturing environment for your beloved companion. I work from home in a flexible role, which allows me to accommodate your schedule for in-home house sitting, drop-ins, and walks. Your pet’s needs will always be a priority! I will provide your pet with the highest level of care, ensuring they are safe, well-cared-for, and loved at all times. I am committed to following your instructions precisely, maintaining their routine and meeting their needs without deviation. With that said, unless I am explicitly instructed to not provide a type of physical activity (walking, playing, tug o war etc) due to medical conditions, I will prioritize regular walks as I strongly believe mental stimulation is a key to your dogs happiness’ health and longevity.

About: I’ve taken care of cats, I have 2 cats as well! While I was in college my roommates had dogs that I would watch when they would leave or couldn’t come home in time. I’m good with both both cats and dogs. Im currently working part time, I don’t think pet sitting is a job it’s so fun to do so I would love it as a side job. I’m also getting my masters in biomedical sciences right now My pets have access to every inch of the house and are well cared for, toys, scratch post and many treats! I love playing with them, taking them outside, feeding and can also clean litter boxes

About: I’ve had pets most of my life, however I can’t own any where I live currently. I fill that need by watching friends animals. I’m excited to try this out! I’m a current grad student and I’m not currently working so I have a lot of in between time! I’m happy to fill that time with caring for your pets!! I moving soon to a fenced yard. I live near a park where I can bring your dog! I live in a nice and quiet also friendly neighborhood.

“Lauren and Dalton were amazing They came over for a meet and greet before using them to walk our dog. You could tell they love dogs. They were easy to communicate with and got back to me very quickly when I messaged them I appreciated that they sent updates and pictures of our pup.”

About: I focus on ways to remain patient and allow an organic connection to develop between me and the animal. That's why even if it's for a simple drop in, I want to meet your pet or pets in advance to see if it's comfortable for everyone. Every animal has its own unique personality, individual communication styles and needs and no offense to the owners, I know you know your babies, but I like to see through my interaction with the pet and how we connect, if it's going to work. My hope is to develop an equal respect and trust with your pet so we can be friends, work and play and enjoy each other's company while "their human" is away. I have a lot of experience training animals and rehabilitating dogs who have suffered trauma, abuse, have aggression issues or need a variety of training from potty training, leash or car etiquette, food aggression and basic commands. I understand having animals can make us reluctant to travel or just adds that extra added stress, so knowing your animals are being cared for by someone who will be reliable, trustworthy, kind and a huge animal lover will hopefully relieve some of that added anxiety we all feel when leaving them. My ability to connect with an animal and the patience involved is something I take great pride in and thoroughly enjoy. Every animal deserves to be cared for, listened to and understood.. I love animals and knowing their humans can leave them with the confidence they're going to be safe and loved makes me very happy! I work from home and have a schedule that allows me to support pet owners with their pet care, walks, potty breaks, medications, just coming to visit and say hi, to pet owners who live within a reasonable distance from my home. Remaining patient with an animal who is meeting a stranger for the first time, respecting that I am in their environment. Waiting it out, being on their time and realizing they'll show me they are ready to trust and connect. Not expecting them to jump into my arms and be best friends immediately, granted, there are those critters that just love in the first second, others don't. So, knowing and respecting that is important. Meet and greet(s), going over their routine, their comfort zone, their queues, their fears, what makes them so happy, what makes them smile, favorite toy. Realizing I am not "their human" ,knowing and respecting boundaries. Anything that falls outside of that can sometimes lead to high levels of anxiety or fear in both the animal and the human. I like to take time earning the trust of the animal, so when they are ready to engage with me, we can do that as a team.

“Amy came to help us with walks on our trip and she was amazing. Our dog loved walking with her and we would absolutely book her again. Fantastic care?”

About: About Me 🐾 Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience in doggy daycare, kennel care, boarding, animal handling, and maintaining clean, safe environments for animals. Caring for animals has always been something I’m passionate about, and I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality, needs, and behaviors. Through my professional experience, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, safety, and understanding animal body language. I’m especially interested in dog behavior and training, and I enjoy building trust with animals at their own pace. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or has a personality all their own, I strive to make them feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your pets and respecting your home. I’ll do my best to maintain your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and follow your care instructions closely. I love working with all kinds of animals and believe every pet deserves kindness, respect, and individualized care. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your animals feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, feathered, or otherwise wonderful family members! 🐸🐱🐰🐶🐠❤️ My day-to-day routine includes caring for animals, keeping their environments clean and comfortable, and making sure their individual needs are met. I enjoy staying active, learning about animal behavior, and providing pets with attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship. When caring for your pets, I prioritize following their normal routines, including walks, feeding schedules as instructed, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’m attentive to their behavior and comfort levels and strive to provide consistent, reliable care while keeping owners updated on how their pets are doing. I stick to schedules and routines, I believe being a great pet sitter means more than just providing food, walks, and playtime. It means being patient, attentive, dependable, and understanding how to make each animal feel secure and respected. My experience has taught me the importance of recognizing animal body language, maintaining a clean and safe environment, and adjusting my approach to each pet’s comfort level. When you trust me with your pets, I want you to feel confident knowing they’re receiving thoughtful, personalized care. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk, checking in on your pets while you’re away, or staying in your home to keep them company, my goal is to treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can rely on!

“Nikki is just lovely and so sweet with our dog.”

About: A work from home dog mommy who is just looking to meet some new furry friends to get her out of the house 🫶🏻 Our home is run by my two mini-dachshunds with all the sas and cuddles you could ask for! I’m a WFH dog-mom who is excited to spoil your babies as my own. My work schedule is completely flexible and enjoy taking breaks throughout the day to give my pups some attention. I can be super flexible when it comes to time frames for dog-walking/drop-ins! Pets are my babies as I currently do not have any children and can devote my full attention to them. Your fur baby will have plenty of time to run around, go for walks, take a great nap on the couch, and get lots of pets/cuddles.

About: Juggling full-time studies and dedicated dog mom duties to German Shepard Stryker and rescue Doberman Luna. I’ve been raised with dogs and cats since childhood. As the go-to for family and friends in need of pet sitting, my reputation stands strong. I tend to spoil all the fur babies. Experienced with various breeds, adept at overcoming training and behavioral challenges. Your fur babies aren't just pets; they're family. Trust me to provide not just a service but a personalized, loving experience for your cherished family members. Your peace of mind, their wagging adventures. FYI the reason my rates are higher than expected is Rover takes out a big chunk. I have recently taken on an apprentice to take over my overflow of clients. If I’m unavailable for the dates you need, please message me and I can ask if she’s available. It’ll be at the same price rate, until she raises her rates. She really is great! Because of gas prices and time, travel outside of 10 mile/20 minute radius from home/Yelm will be charged travel cost per visit/day. As a dog mom myself, I understand the concern of leaving pets alone while at work. Offering dog walks, potty break, and house sitting in Thurston County and surrounding areas. My schedule is open all week Sunday-Saturday depending on availability. Reach out to schedule a meet and greet! I will not be offering stays at my house, but I can do house sitting. For house sitting please message me what dates/time you’re needing. I have made exceptions for last minute bookings when I’m available. At our meet and greet I’ll ask what their normal routines are and all their likes and dislikes. Please be aware that I may need to leave once a day during the weekdays my spouse works to let my doggo out, and possibly my regular drop ins depending when scheduled. To keep those away times at minimum please book far in advance so I can decline any extra clients. At my home our routine is; wake up, morning potty, enjoy a human-grade breakfast, another potty break, nap in mom's office. Playtime kicks in around noon, followed by post-lunch potty and another nap. We then join mom in her office, demanding attention, before yet another nap until the next break. Potty, Dinner, and Cuddles. Then one last potty before bed. We’re kinda couch potatoes in our home.

About: I enjoy caring for all kinds of pups—from playful and energetic to older dogs who need a little extra patience. I have experience with senior care and IVDD, so I understand the importance of gentle movement, consistency, and comfort. I’ll always tailor my care to what makes your pet feel safest and happiest. As an online college student, I have a flexible, home-based schedule, so pet care easily fits into my day. I’m able to give pets lots of attention, regular potty breaks, and consistent care throughout the day. like to tailor each visit to the dog. Some dogs want lots of play and activity, while others prefer a slower pace and extra cuddles. I follow their routine and adjust my care to what makes them feel the most comfortable and happy.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs nearly all of my life, ranging from puppies as young as six months to old seniors. I’ve worked with resource guarding, overly-affectionate, and the downright indifferent doggos, all of which I’ve enjoyed caring for. I’ll approach any dog with respect and kindness, as you should expect a caretaker to do! I have a relatively flexible schedule, allowing me to care for dogs during the week mondays through fridays. Anytime between 9 am and 8 pm is generally best, and I’m open to conversation for other dates and times if applicable. My current dog is crate trained, and before moving here to Washington State we lived with a very heavily resource guarded dog. I’ve overseen their play, both mild and rough, so I have experience with managing more aggressive dogs. Outside of that, physical affection and play is a must in my home and I’m more than willing to smell like dog at the end of the day if your dog likes to play!
