“My 2 dogs, Indie and Brody LOVE Tatiana!! She is patient, kind, and walks them, and the return home very tired. Tatiana doesn't hesitate to ask questions to make sure the dogs have all they need. I highly recommend her for walking dogs.”

About: We have both taken care of pets since we were young! I (Alexa) have grown up with furry friends my whole life, and I LOVE all animals (though I do have a soft spot for dogs). Connor has grown up with pets his whole life as well. We’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors before, with all kinds of critters. Alexa has experience volunteering at local animal shelters, and has had the pleasure of listening to Lee Asher speak in person. We are also currently the owners of a small dog, a big dog, and a very mischievous cat. We are both very well equipped to care for animals anywhere from a mouse to a horse. Your babies are in wonderful hands with us. I (Alexa) currently work as an EMT, which means I work only 7-8 days per month. That leaves plenty of time to go wherever duty calls! Connor gets his work schedule week by week, but normally has Fridays and Saturdays off. We are willing to house/pet sit for you, walk your animals, and do daily checkups for you as well. In a clients home, we will respect your space and only do what is necessary. You can count on us to make sure your furry friend has all that they need while you are gone, in the safety and security of your own home.
“Angela did such an amazing job with Jett. She made me feel so comfortable and I just knew Jett was in trusted hands. She was so kind and patient. Angela did such an amazing job updating me and taking photos. 10000% recommend and I will definitely be rebooking.”

“My name is Porgi the Corgi and I love my new friend Karen! She took me to my favorite playground; PLU campus. She can keep up with me better than my mahm's wheelchair. I'm super happy and ready for afternoon naps! Oh, yeah, mummy likes her, too. Kind, fun, friendly, and all kinds of nice words. ?”

“Alicia was very flexible and understanding! She had great communication, fast reply times, and sent a lot of cute pictures! Even though we just hired her to walk Bella she showed our cat love as well. We would definitely trust her with the care of both our girls again in the future!”

“Xavier has been amazing with my little Koda. Koda can be a bit anxious and won’t leave with just anyone. He was extremely patient and won Koda over quickly. Xavier has also been very reliable and professional. I have scheduled weekly walks with him.”

“Bobbi took such good care of our dog! She did a great job making sure he was comfortable during their first time meeting and sent us great updates afterwards! We will definitely book with her again:)”

“Micayla has been walking our pup Dexter for several months now and we couldn't be happier with her services. She is extremely reliable and definitely knows her way around rambunctious pups. She is kind and patient and always willing to work with us. We are so lucky to have found her!”

“Megan was fantastic with my senior pup, Macklin! She was prompt, attentive, and took very good care of him on their walk. I will definitely be rebooking with her again!”

About: I’ve always had a passion working with animals. Since growing up I’ve always had dogs as my babies. I work as a veterinary assistant and that’s how I started building my clientele for petsitting on the side. Pet parents needed someone to come check in during the day, stay nights, and administer medications. I love all dogs and cats big and small. I’ve also helped care for reptiles and birds. I'm a good dog handler and feel like I can read pets well. I've helped support senior pets who are not able to get around very well using back support harnesses and leashes and exhibit lots of patience and care when it comes to my work. Normally when I pet sit I like to meet with the pet parents to go over details to make sure their buddies are as comfortable as possible and can continue following their routine. I do work 4 days out of the week each week but I dedicate my lunch period between noon and 2pm to check in on the fur babies so they’d not be alone any longer than 4 hours at a time during the day and typically I spend nights with them so they’d aren’t lonely while I'd spend my weekends fully with them. Depending on the pets schedule I like to stick to it as much as possible. I know when their schedule breaks it can be very upsetting for them and cause stress. I like to take dogs out for walks during their potty breaks too as much as possible unless there’s restriction so they’d have a chance to explore and keep their minds active. If allowed I like to take pets out for walks and/or runs to expel energy. Feeding schedules are usually as owner requests as well. With snacks in between if granted.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I truly love spending time with dogs, playing, going on walks, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and affectionate, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently home full-time, which allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day. I manage my home and have a very flexible routine, making it easy to adapt to your dog’s schedule for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m originally from Brazil, where I earned my Law degree, and I’m a U.S. Army spouse. At the moment, I’m focused on studying English while staying at home, which gives me the availability and consistency to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for your pet. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and organized environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I closely supervise them at all times and make sure they follow their usual routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I respect your space and maintain your pet’s routine to minimize stress. I ensure doors are securely closed, food and water are fresh, and your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and supervision.
About: I’ve taken care of small pups to the big pups for over 10 years. I absolutely love and adore them and they just tend to make your life a lot more fun I work part time at home so I have flexibility dog sit at home or go check in on you fur babies to give them attention and take for a walk I have a fenced yard and a golden doodle that loves others. I take them on walks and then I have a dog park in my neighborhood
About: I have experience with cats, dogs, and even horses. I've grown up with cats and dogs so I am used to checking the litter box, water, going for walks, and more. I also believe growing up with animals has given me a personal understanding of how important it is to have a good pet sitter, for your pets as well as you. Every day I take care of our family dog by either taking him to the park (about 3 times a week) or for a walk around the neighborhood, I also feed breakfast to all the animals if they still need it, as well as checking the water bowl. I also try and give them some play time everyday, either one on one or as a group if they are feeling extra playful. When pet/house sitting I feed breakfast and dinner, at a set time if needed. I also refill waters and give treats if it is given the okay, or just an extra part of their schedule. For example, I looked after a dog who got a carrot as a treat after breakfast. I can also put animals in crates if desired.

About: My names Collin. I grew up on a small farm in North Texas. We had tons of different animals and I loved every single minute of it. I now live here in Washington State with my Mom and am a Volleyball Coach half the time and on the other half I try to house/animal sit as much and possible. I love any animal young or old. I have experience in shot & medicine distribution. I hope I can help you and your family with your precious fur babies in the future very soon. I currently have a pretty open schedule, occasionally work on a weekend for a tournament but as a sports coach my schedule is very open. I look forward to hopefully helping you with your home or your precious fur babies very soon. I have a fenced in yard and two very friendly little small pups that will keep your animals company. They love hosting company and they love having other animals to play with. If it’s in the clients home then I will love on them as much as possible and do as the clients have asked.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 20. I have personally had 9 dogs, 2 of which are still living. They are a German Shepherd and a mixed hound. I also foster dogs from time to time. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, with dogs that need any special medication, as one of my dogs was a diabetic and blind. Also, I am comfortable with dogs that have aggression issues, as long as we work out how to address them before your dog stays with me, and no one gets hurt. Two of my German Shepherds have aggression issues that I had to work through. A little about me: I am going back to get my master's and teach. Currently, I am substitute teaching, and we undergo a very thorough background check, including fingerprints and a check with the FBI. I am willing to provide long-term boarding for deployments or similar situations. That is the case; we can discuss the details and the long-term care rate. I have a very large fenced yard that gives the dogs plenty of room to run and play. It is 1/3 of an acre. I have radiant heat in the floors of my house, and most of the time, the dogs lie on the nice, warm floor. I do have a camera in the backyard. I can give you access while your dog is staying here with me. :) I’m sorry, I cannot take any more neutered dogs. The few I have had have been working all over my house, and it doesn’t matter how much cleaning you do, or how special the treatments are, they don't work. It’s a big problem with unneutered dogs. I do hope you consider neutering your dog. I am currently working to go back and get my masters and education to be a teacher. I am available all days right now and flexible on times. I have a large yard that is fully fenced with a 6 foot fence. I treat pets as part of my family but keep them well behaved and mannered. I have fostered dogs before too, and I always try to meet the dog where they are at whether they are stressed, fearful, or have a lot of. For example, if they need a lot of exercise we go on walks and play several times a day. I find a happy dog is a happy life.

Angie is AWESOME! My seeet doggie loves her and so do I! Angie gives great feedback on her walks and Felicity’s mood and behavior. It is clear that Angie and Felicity have formed a bond. This makes me so happy! My sweet doggie deserves to be loved by many wonderful people. Thank you Angie!

I am so thankful I found Zachary to help care for our pup. Zachary is so attentive and focused on Ripley's enrichment. I am fully confident that she is in good care with Zachary. You can really tell that Zachary has a gift for caring for dogs and Ripley is ecstatic when he comes over and is exhausted when he leaves. He is great at communicating with us and I am so thankful to have someone I trust taking care of our fur baby!
