House Sitting Lucia

“Paul took such great care our dog and cat that every time I got an update it looked like neither of them even noticed we were gone. And then in a pinch when our flight home got unexpectedly cancelled, Paul stopped over again an extra morning to account for our delayed return. Jan and Paul very clearly care about your animals and are probably some of the best sitters I’ve used on rover. I highly recommend them and would absolutely use them again to care for my pets.”

“Jennifer was amazing with my pups. They instantly warmed up to her. She arrived on time and did exactly as I requested. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”

Christy B.

“Maureen was an amazing pet and house sitter! She went above and beyond what we had asked for. She was so sweet and patient with our older pup.”

Jodi C.

“Lyla did a great job: she was willing to come meet the pups beforehand, showed up on time to house/dog sit, sent photos and updates, and left the house and dogs clean and happy. We hope to use Lyla for future dog care needs and highly recommend her to others.”

About: I have had dogs for my entire life! I currently have 2 dogs. Both are Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Trinity is our senior girl 13 yrs old, and Shira who is 2. I have had the most experience with big dogs (mainly German Shepherds and now Rhodesian Ridgebacks). I have done Schutzhund with my shepherds and have done dog shows and obedience shows locally with my Ridgebacks. Our dogs and the ones I take care of are always my priority. I treat all dogs like they are mine so they get all the love, snuggles, and attention they want. I have a safe and secure home and yard. We have a 3/4 acre completely fenced back yard fenced to 6 feet high. We are in the country and have lots of bunnies for them to chase. We also have a creek on our property that in good weather would be fun for the dogs to play in. I have some agility equipment that I will break out when the weather is nice and let dogs go through those or show them how. For rainy days we have toys and dog puzzles to keep their minds active. We also have a shop that I can put up agility equipment when the weather is lousy and cold so they can chase each other around in there if they are getting antsy. I also do daily obedience with my own dog and any other dog that is with me and wants to join in. While most of my experience has been with big dogs, I will work with any style and breed of dog after I meet them and we get to know each other. I also have experience working with packs of dogs, as at one time, I had a large pack of both German Shepherds, and then Ridgebacks. I also have a lot of experience working with puppies and can help with basic training. I seem to have a knack to help dogs who normally don’t eat or are very nervous when being left with someone else. I have had many boarders who’s moms and dads said were picky eaters or wouldn’t eat for a couple of days and somehow with me they eat well, don’t miss meals, and many times expand their diets. If you have a dog that takes medication I can, and have, administered meds that their parents bring. But I will only administer prescription meds written by a licensed veterinarian to the specific dog with explicit instructions. Bottom line, I don’t just “board” dogs. They are part of the family and treated as such until you get back. They Are talked to, interacted with by my dogs and myself and my husband all day long. They aren’t just put in a room or left outside to fend for themselves. They are truly being loved and cared for from the minute they are dropped off until the minute you pick them up. My husband and I are retired so I am full time at home now. So I can board 7 days a week. And overnight care at my house will be my specialty as you never have to worry about your dog being left for hours during the day or night. I have a very “dog friendly” home. That being said my house is clean and fairly tidy. I clean daily to make sure the dogs are in the best environment. My goal is to have your dog go home with you better than when they came. If they are full of mud from playing outside in the rain they will be washed and dried before they go home. If their nails are too long I will cut them (if the dog allows). If they need to be brushed, I will brush them and often give them a massage…this is especially good for the nervous dogs. If they are scared and feel nervous they will be returned happy and calm from being pampered while you were away. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture including our bed and can play inside or outside with my dogs who are very friendly to other dogs and people. I don’t crate any of my dogs and don’t require dogs that stay with me to be crated during the day or night. If you prefer your dog to be crated at night I will follow your instructions if you bring the crate that they are used to. Many of the dogs that I board sleep in our bed but they also have very plush beds throughout our home that they can sleep on overnight or during the day for naps. Wherever they feel more comfortable sleeping is fine with me even if they don’t want to be in our room with us and our dogs.

“I highly recommend Tiffany for any pet sitting you require. She is an outstanding human being and my animals took to her immediately, even my very skittish cat who seemingly hates everyone. I was very impressed by her caring and easy going personality and by her professionalism. I felt very comfortable leaving her in charge of my home and my beloved companions. I had a truly great experience.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for different families for about two years and have really enjoyed it. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable when their owners are away, so I do my best to keep their routines consistent and give them plenty of attention, care, and affection. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after them, or just spending time with them, I treat every dog as if they were my own. Families have trusted me to care for their dogs, and I take that responsibility seriously. I do work part time, I work full 8 hour days on Thursdays and sometimes Fridays. The other days I work 5-6 hours. I’m usually off around 4:30 or 5 but my start times vary. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special care requirements. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while also respecting the client’s home and keeping it clean and secure. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while they’re apart

“Extremely appreciative and pleased with Ingrid's house sitting! She promptly responded to all messages, provided reassuring check-ins, and carefully looked after our neurotic (reactive) Mini Aussie.”

Shelly J.

“Roree was absolutely wonderful! She took very good care of our sweet, energetic, pup. We were also very impressed with how well she took care of our home! We’ve had other sitters who left our apartment a mess. Roree treated our space with respect and took care of our pup. We love her and will definitely be booking her again when we have a need!”

About: For 15 years I ran a successful dog walking business outside of Boston, and have now returned to the northwest to help my mother age in place. I'm missing my animal friends, and am ready to help with yours! I'm experienced and mature, conscientious, reliable and careful, with the same high expectations for myself that you have. I understand the importance of good relationships with anyone you bring into your pet's life - both for your pet and for you - and building relationships and community is what I most loved about my dog walking business. My schedule is quite flexible! Being retired definitely opens up my availability, and I aim to be as accommodating and helpful as possible to meet your pet's needs. Safety and privacy are important priorities, and I am always respectful of both. I have years of experience accessing clients' homes and caring for their pets - more than 250 pets over the years - without any problems. I am professional and experienced, with a proven record.

“Sarah was awesome!!! It was clear from the second she met the dogs that they loved her. She is a natural with dogs and took extra special care of them. Our dogs are everything to us and knowing they were in such good hands and care allowed us to enjoy our time away. Thanks again Sarah!”

About: I have cared for many different kinds of pets/animals in my life growing up and I love to show all animals affection. They are so unique in their own ways. ♡ I am sadly allergic to cats. If you have a cat and a dog, I will only be able do quick care for both pets and walk the dog. For I am unable to house sit so I can give my best performance. Im excited to show your pets lots of love and care! Please, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me. :) I am very flexible on my schedule and happy to work around what is best for us both. Pet care is always my top priority. Communication is key so please just let me know what is required + wanted and I will do what is needed to the best of my ability. That being feeding/watering, taking them on walks, dog parks, letting them out to do the do and so much more.

“Our family needed Jacob during a very difficult time. Jacob was kind, prompt, and immediately hit it off with our girls (Bear and Tookie). He was available to provide last minute care for our fur babies and sent updates daily on their well-being. We will definitely utilize Jacob‘s services in the future. He comes highly recommended by all our family members!”

Ashley W.

“Brooklyn did a fantastic job watching our two morkies over a weekend period. We especially appreciated her proactive style of communication, her calm when dealing with any issues, and of course all the pictures of our pups throughout the day while we were away. Would definitely recommend her services and book with her again. Thanks Brooklyn!”

Jesse S.

“Annemarie did a wonderful job taking care of my two pups, cat, and house while I was gone on a long trip. She kept me updated with messages/texts and photos so I could see my fur babies. The house was clean when I returned and she even helped figure out a problem with my alarm system while I was gone! Highly recommend and would hire again!”

Cydney W.

“Michaela has been fantastic in getting to know our pup and staying with her for a few days. She is very conscientious and professional, emphasizing communication and thoroughness. She took great care of our pup, ensuring she was happy, healthy, and safe. She also took excellent care of our home. Everything was clean and organized upon our return. Michaela is a gem!”

About: I've taken care of dogs pretty regularly, from chihuahuas to great danes. I work well with senior dogs just as well as energetic young dogs :) I'm an online graduate student with an internship in Vancouver, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm almost always open on weekends as well. Whatever fits you needs. I have a fenced in yard at home, and food is usually separated from my other pets' food and typical routines to limit interaction. At a clients home, I work hard to keep the home pristine and keep an eye on your pets wherever they go.

About: Hi there! My name is Kasy. I love all dogs and have plenty of experience. I’ve grown up with dogs, horses and chickens. I have been training animals for nearly 7 years now. My best friend is my dog Riley. She loves meeting other dogs as well. I’m not only experienced with only dogs but farm animals too. I am the biggest animal lover and would love to meet your pets. If you have any questions please make sure to reach out. Thanks ! I am currently working part time at a school. After 2:30 I am free to play with furry friends. In about 3 weeks my schedule will change into full availability with the exception of saturday and sunday mornings. I have a fenced yard, dog crates and beds for my pups. They rarely use the crates and are used to roaming free at our house and the fenced dog park

“Sierra was perfect for my high-energy puppy. She completely understood how demanding a young dog can be, making sure he got plenty of exercise and playtime. The photo updates she sent were fantastic and so fun to receive. I came home to a spotless house and a very tired, happy dog. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: I've been around pets my entire life! I've had puppies and kittens all the way to senior dogs and cats ( our dog prefers the term golden girl vs senior.) I'm the kind of person that says hello to a dog on a walk before the human. Essentially animals bring me joy whenever I see them. Our current children include our 15 year dog named Demeter and a 10 year old cat named Zephyr. Do they run the show and our lives? Absolutely!! I'm looking forward to meeting your pets soon! I recently left my 13 year career in sales to go back to school and flip my career. That being said I have ample amounts of spare time (when I'm not in class) to meet your pets and treat them like my own. I can take any type of special requests and make sure your fur baby is happy and taken care of. Special needs? Done. Special diet? Done. Extra walks and cuddles? Done.
