“It has been really fun to work with Makenzie. Boris can be really shy with strangers, however, Makenzie was able to quickly become friends with him. She is attentive to details, timely, and easy to work with. We look forward to work with her for future dog walks.”
About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life, and I will love your pets as I loved mine. I had two dogs and two cats, and loved them with all of my heart. I love walks and exercise and will make sure that your pet will be healthy and happy. I am in a home with no other animals, and will make sure that your pet gets all of the attention he or she needs. Animals and pets are part of your family and should be treated as such! I've always believed that pets are angels that have been sent to support and love us, and that love should be returned back. I can not wait to meet your lovely pets! I am a grad student completing school mostly remotely. I will go into the university once a week, but have time and flexibility to care for pets as I am home often. I will make sure your pets are loved, fed, have plenty of water and feel safe and comfortable. Pets are family members, and deserve the best care.
“Michael has been great with walking our dog mid-day during the week! It is great knowing our dog gets some exercise and companionship when we are at work. Plus, we come home to a happy, tired dog. Thank you!!”
“Oh my goodness. What a great human. Emilia was so patient, sitting with my shy dog before going on the walks and she warmed up so well after the patience. I got videos and pictures. Emilia went above and beyond, so grateful!!”

About: Update: Based in Bellingham Washington, currently looking to board/housesit for aniamals in Bellingham. I am a full time dog trainer and animal caretaker. I am also available for hire for canine training. I am in the process of receiving my national professional degree for Large and Small Animal Accupressure. I am also available for hire on the northern coast of Oregon, available for animal sitting in-home. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up caring for neighborhood pups, giving them daily walks and love which fueled my admiration for them. I love spending time with animals because of how much we learn from each other. I spent summers working on a farm where I learned to work with all animals - great and small. From draft horses to cattle to chinchillas to fish to llamas to birds and bunny rabbits - I have worked with many types of animals. With dogs, I have cared for and train dogs from dachshunds to Great Pyrenees and so many breeds in between. I have worked with animals for over 15 years time as a caretaker. I volunteer at an animal shelter where I get to work with lots of different breeds. I have experience working with dogs which need a little bit of extra help on their manners or that have come from an abusive situation, creating a calm and trusting atmosphere for them where they can thrive. I find that not just do I love spending time with animals but that I grow as a person working with them. I am also available for pet sitting of animals other then dogs, as well. So please, go on your next vacation with your mind at ease, knowing your pets are well cared for and are on a vacation of their very own at our beautiful farm in northern Bellingham, complete with acerage, rolling fields and plenty of room to run and play. Wishing you a beautiful day!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
