Dog Sitting in Lake Stevens

About: I've had years of experience taking care of my own pets and also worked as a pet groomer for many years. I've had many animals throughout my life dogs, cats, ferrets, tortoises you name it. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule during the week and my weekends are wide open to spend time with your pets or have them over at my house. I have a fenced backyard and two dogs of my own that love to run and play with other dogs. While your pet is with me they are part of our family.

About: For the past 5 years, I have provided dependable and compassionate care for pets of all kinds, treating each one like family. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply giving extra attention and affection, I am dedicated to making sure every pet receives personalized care and companionship. I am a stay-at-home mom to three children, and my days are spent caring for and supporting my family. I start my mornings by getting my oldest child ready to school and handling drop off and pick up. During the day, I keep up with household tasks and spend quality time with my two younger children. As of right now, we have no pets of our own to care for, but hope to add to our family soon. My home provides a safe, welcoming environment for pets, located in a small, friendly military neighborhood known for its quiet and respectful community. We have a fully fenced-in backyard, giving pets a secure space to play, explore, and enjoy fresh air safely. Inside the home, the atmosphere is calm and family-oriented, and pets are treated as part of the family. With plenty of supervision, comfort, and care, I ensure every pet feels secure, relaxed, and right at home during their stay.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for family, friends, and others for a number of years, I am experienced with both young and senior disabled pets of all sizes. I have administered medications for pets and can follow strict guidelines and instructions easily. I am currently working part time and am looking to fill my time off or evenings with something fulfilling that helps fellow pet parents. I am currently available Tuesday through Saturday after 2pm most days and Sunday Monday anytime. I have an open ground level patio with lots of trails and outdoor areas for walking pets nearby. I have two indoor cats that play well with other pets. I am willing to take pets on daily walks or play inside or outside with pets when needed.

“Holly really helped me in a pinch. She came and took great care of my dog and cat while I was gone which allowed me to enjoy my vacation. I definitely would rebook with her in the future.”

About: I have been in the bulldog industry for 12+ years and loving every minute of it. Brachycephalic dogs need someone to care for them that knows the intricate quirks they can have, and there is no one better for the job than me. I work from home, going out throughout the day. We typically hit the dog park a few times a week and also have many puzzle-style feeders to keep our pup entertained. We recently fenced about half an acre of our yard and also have a 10x30-foot dog run with climbing toys and unlimited entertainment. I believe exercise is the best form of stimulation and plan to keep your pup busy while you're away.

About: I've had the advantage of caring for dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. My family adopted senior dogs throughout my childhood, we rescued all types of breeds including: Huskies, German Shepards, Labs, and many mixed mutts. I recently had to say good bye to my Golden Retriever, Chance, and I would love to spend some time with your pets. I am currently taking a sabbatical and have an open schedule for the next few months. I am available for pet care all days of the week. Located in the heart of Lake Stevens, our house is easily accessible to some great walking trails. I would love to spend time with your pups.

About: I have walked and trained dogs since I was 12 years old. I have walked them often in my neighborhood (even for free sometimes!) Maybe I didn’t know the economic consequences but I love being in the presence of animals I am a freelancer that works online.I want to care for your pet while I work on some work simultaneously! I can take many breaks to get the puppy (and human) zoomies out. I live in an apartment complex with a pet relief area. Additionally, I live within a walking distance from a field. I have a dog of my own (she lives with my parents) and I bring her down to Seattle when I can. Most importantly, I am flexible with cancellations and cost since this is something I do as more of a hobby more than a job. I value your pet’s safety, therefore I am sure to ask for their dietary needs, walk schedule, if they have medications I ask for dosage and time to take, and most importantly, I keep my phone on me at all times to communicate to you! Thank you for considering me! I look forward to meeting your fur baby🐶💕

About: I’ve been trusted to take care of many of my families dogs. Feeding their dogs, taking them out for walks, keeping them entertained, and picking up after themselves. I’m a High School student about to graduate so after graduation I am not busy at all, walking dogs would be an excellent way to stay active during nice days. I walk/play with my dog everyday keeping him active and healthy, feed him when need be and clean up after him. When going over to families house I take the dog out for walks, play with them and clean up any messes they made.

“Amanda was excellent! I have a low maintenance cat who just needs food, but Amanda went the extra mile to play with him and love him while I was away. Communication was excellent and she was very punctual. I highly recommend booking with Amanda!”

From belly rubs and playtime to medication and walks, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. With years of hands-on experience and a deep respect for all animals, I’m committed to giving both pets and their people peace of mind. Let’s make sure your pet gets the care they deserve—even when you can’t be there. Right now, I don’t currently work, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets.

I really enjoy being around animals, and having the flexibility in my schedule means I can give them the attention and care they deserve. In my home, I have two friendly dogs who love the company of other pets, which helps create a social and welcoming environment. I also have a fully fenced backyard where pets can safely play and get exercise, along with plenty of space inside for rest and comfort. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure to follow their specific routines and instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, walks, or playtime. I aim to keep pets as comfortable and stress-free as possible by maintaining their usual environment and routines. I also make sure their space stays clean, safe, and full of positive attention while their owners are away.

“Austin was great! He always sent us the best photos of our cats and communicated well about how they were doing. Our cats were happy to have him around each day! :)”

“Millie was absolutely wonderful with our cats! She followed all the directions we left to a T, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I especially appreciated how communicative she was—she didn’t hesitate to ask questions when something needed clarification, which shows how much she truly cares about getting things right. Her photo updates were such a highlight of our day! Not only were they adorable, but they were thoughtful and reassuring. It was clear from the pictures (and from our happy, well-cared-for cats when we returned) that Millie was consistent, attentive, and right on time for every visit. We’re so grateful to have found someone so reliable and caring. Highly recommend Millie to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter who treats your pets like her own!”

“Krysten was great. My family and I have a brat of a dog he likes what he likes and that is it. the second Krysten was at the door he was in love. I will definitely ask Krysten to watch our boy again.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my two cats received! Elizabeth went above and beyond to ensure they were well-fed, happy, and entertained while I was away. She made sure to play with them daily and kept me updated with adorable pictures and messages, which really put my mind at ease. It's clear she loves animals and treats them like her own. I’ll definitely be booking again the next time I’m away! Highly recommend!”

About: I have worked with over 100 dogs during the course of my career so far. Most of my dog handling experience comes from working at a doggy daycare after I graduated high school. This experience gave me a lot of skills including handling multiple dogs at once, keeping track of meals and medication, and recognizing dog behavior in a variety of different breeds. This job gave me so many opportunities to bond with dogs of all sizes as if they were my own, give them exercise, and time to play with other dogs. Although, I learned to become good at handling a large group of dogs at once I prefer to work with smaller groups. It gives me more time to bond one on one with animals and allows me to better understand their individual needs (including lots of scratches and belly rubs). Working at a dog daycare has not been my only dog related experience. I have house and dog sat for multiple families a few summers in a row now. I enjoy providing an extra support system to dogs when their loved ones leave and giving them the love and attention they deserve. On top of these other experiences I have also grown up with dogs my entire life and in my late teens my Dad started fostering dogs for an agency. I really enjoyed taking care of these dogs and helping provide them with a good safe home until they were adopted. Every dog that has been a part of my life has provided so much joy and as I can't currently have a pet of my own I would love to be extended family to your dog. I'm currently a student at Western Washington University home for the summer. I don't have any other job as of now and will be able to provide full attention, walks, on-time feedings, etc. for your precious pet. I will be taking a few online credit hours for college over the summer, this does not take much time and I will be home to make sure all of your pets needs have been met. Whenever I house sit I usually fall into a routine that revolves around what the pet is used to, like their walk and feeding schedule. Although, I may have short outings and activities throughout the summer on the day I am booked for, my calendar should be up to date with the days that I am not available. I am very responsible when it comes to taking care of animals and organized. Safety is very important to me and I have had experiences working at the doggy daycare stopping dogs from eating unsafe things or safely separating dogs that were showing aggression towards each other. Although I don't expect any of these things to happen to your pet while they are in my care, it is better to be safe than sorry. I am also good with being on time to everything and this translates to making sure that pets are given their food on time (if they have a specific schedule). Your pet will be very safe and very loved during my time staying with them.

About: Growing up, my dad was allergic to anything with fur. Therefore, I had lizards, fish, birds and every stuffed animal under the sun. I always jumped at the opportunity to spend time with neighbor pets and would beg to give the dogs a bath (my neighbors loved me lol). At the age of 10 I got my first horse (who I still have, 16 years later) and at the age of 14 I got my first dog. He was a Catahoula named Kyser, and he was anything but easy! I lived out of state for 2 years, and during that time I worked at a veterinary clinic and did pet sitting for clients. I miss it! I work M-F 8am-4pm, so I am only available weekends for boarding (potential for weekdays depending on the dog/situation). I am available after work for drop ins or walks! I have a fenced yard with a large male dog named Ozzy. He loves little dogs and female large dogs. He is a bit standoffish with other large males so I am unable to watch them. I would rather play it safe. I would NEVER leave the dogs together unattended. Ozzy is crate trained and has his own room so stepping out of the house would not be an issue.

“Naomi is amazing! She kept in contact with me throughout my vacation via little report cards on my cats and pictures of them. I have the worlds most timid cat and even she came out to say hi to Naomi each day that Naomi visited. She truly cares for other peoples pets 💜”

About: I have been around dogs and animals my entire life, I had multiple dogs and cats growing up and currently have two dogs. I have often dog sat for neighbors and family. I am currently enrolled in college at Montana State University so I will be very open for dog sitting during the summer and winter breaks I can not care for client's pet in my home at this time but I have a very friendly pup that will get along with almost any dog if your pup needs a new friend. I also have experience with kenneling a dog when needed.
