“Camille took good care of my two cats and kept up excellent communication even working thru a small snafu with the system. Very professional care - thanks Camille!”
“Great service. Well educated on Guinea pigs. Several good photos with each visit. All instructions followed. No one I would trust more with my piggies. Very sweet note left on the last day. Stellar.”
“It's been so hot so I can't take my dog with me everywhere I go. Kat kindly accepted my last minute request for a drop-in visit to give my dog a pee break. My shy dog took to Kat right away. Thank you for your help!”
“Tricia was the best cat sitter!!! We came home after 4 days away to find our cats happy, relaxed, and obviously well cared for. She sent photos of her visits which included snuggles and play time, or sometimes just lounging together in the sun. She showed up on time, was excellent at communicating, friendly and easy to get to know. We picked Tricia as a cat owner herself and for her experience administering medications. And we are so glad we did! We highly recommend Tricia and will definitely be requesting her for future sits.”
“Marion was very responsive, competent, and reliable! I had a great experience hiring her to walk my dog while on vacation visiting Mt. Baker. I only reached out a few days ahead, but she was flexible and very easy to communicate with. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Melissa and Ryan are great! They did exactly what I asked and Gambit looked happy. This is our second time working with them and it won’t be our last!”
About: I have an Australian Shepherd named Dexter who I love taking on all kinds of adventures! He's been across the country, on multi-day backpacking trips and up mountains! I walk or run my dog at least once everyday. He comes with my on any adventure that he can. I think its our duty as owners to make sure our dogs are physically and mentally stimulated while keeping them safe. Exercising a dog is great but you also want to make sure they are safe. On dog walks, this means bringing plenty of water and monitoring them to make sure that the physical activity is something they are still enjoying by looking for signs of distress.
“Candace is amazing!!! My puppy was a bit of a handful for her while I was away ,but Candace was so professional and updated me on everything! She bonded with both my dogs immediately on the meet and greet. I highly recommend her! I'm definitely going to use her in the future 💛”
About: Hi! I’m a certified vet assistant, and I’d love to help you care for your dog! I have my own rescue dog who I’ve owned and worked with for 7 years, and I’ve had dogs my entire life. Let me know if I can help :) I work a full time job, usually 7-3. I’m available evenings and weekends, which isn’t ideal for everyone’s schedule - but if you work evenings or on weekends maybe I’ll be a good fit :) I take safety very seriously. Because of this, I don’t offer services in my home, because I have a reactive dog and small pets. But it’s my top priority to keep your pet safe and comfortable when I’m with him/her!
“I had a great experience with Juliana! She stepped in on short notice and was incredibly communicative with setting up her checking in on my pup! She sent photos and went above and beyond to look after my dog! Highly recommend!”
“Anna was great with communication and helped to reassure that Smokey Preston was well taken care of during her drop-in visits. I greatly appreciated all the photo updates she sent and definitely would request having her help again in the future!”
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats and have been pet/house sitting for family friends since about 16 years old. I've recently (Dec 2024) rescued my own first pup, a German Shepherd mix and have experience training and house breaking a high energy/high drive puppy since 3.5 months old (she's almost a year old now). I've also cared for a senior dog and given oral medication/ear drops. I look forward to meeting and caring for some new fluffy friends! I work from home part time starting at 0630 and usually finished by 09-1000. After that I take my pup to run at the park or for a walk/jog that is usually finished before lunch. I am generally free mid-day through the afternoons, but I am very flexible with my schedule. Until the end of the August, I cannot offer day care or boarding. I do have a fenced a yard and plenty of space for doggy guests when the time comes! I am able to do drop in visits and walks until then, so whatever feeding, potty breaks, exercise, medication, or other needs your dog has, I am able to come by and provide that throughout the day!
“Booked Krystal again because she is very attentive, great communication, and friendly! She makes sure to care for my home and cat and provides detailed updates which I really appreciate 🙂”
About: I will take exceptional care of your pets as animals are my favorite thing in the world. When people ask me what my "passion" is, the only thing that comes to mind is caring for animals. I have taken care of animals since I was a child. I grew up with 4 dogs, 2 rabbits, 2 cats, 2 hamsters, and a bunch of fish. I care so much about animals and their well-being that I will do just about anything for them. Friends, family, and acquaintances have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets. I have done multiple pet sitting gigs, and have even been a reliable farm sitter. I am active and I love being outside. I will run/exercise with your dogs if desired! I am currently transitioning to part-time work, so I will have plenty of time to play with/walk/run your pets! I am free after 5:00 pm and have breaks during the day. I am also available on weekends. I am happy to work something out with you as my schedule is flexible. I am not able to house animals at my house at this time but I am more than happy to watch them at yours! I am a trustworthy pet/house sitter and will follow the rules at your house and clean up after myself and the pets :)
