Active and experienced dog sitter
Pet care experience
Hello dog parents! I am an experienced dog care giver who has owned multiple dogs throughout my life. I'm a hiker/ backpacker and mountaineer, and I love to bring dog companions on my big adventures! I am happy to stop by to check on your furry friend, take them on an easy stroll through the neighborhood, or wipe them out with a strenuous hike while you're at work so you come home to a calm and sleepy pup. Not only will your dog be guaranteed a perfect level of exercise for their needs, but lots of love, affection and playtime as well! I am very receptive to the ways in which dogs communicate their needs or discomfort, and am great at adjusting activities and behaviors to ensure the most positive experience possible for your beloved pet. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!
Reviews
Thank you, Chanda! We came home to two very happy critters, and we appreciated the photo updates!
Chanda is a dream animal and house sitter! She absolutely loves my pets and sent photos everyday of my doggies out on the trails. She also gave one of my kitty's some post op care and medicine without a moments hesitation. I highly recommend her and will use her as often as I can!
Chanda did such a good job with Winston and Paige. I got daily updates and my house was pristine when I returned from my vacation. I will definitely be using Chanda again in the future.
After a bad experience using a neighbor to watch our quirky dog, we turned to Rover. We were nervous having a stranger in our house, but Chanda was great!! Spent lots of time with our pup, sent pictures, responded quickly to any questions, reached out when she had a question, and left our house possibly cleaner than when we left. Would highly recommend her!

I do not offer pet care in my home at this time. At a client’s home, my care routine depends entirely on the requests of the pet owner. I love written instructions so I can ensure I’m keeping with the pup’s routine as much as possible!
Information Chanda L. would like to know about your pet
I like to know the daily routine a pet is accustomed to, how far they are comfortable walking or hiking, what triggers they may have (such as other dogs), where they typically sleep at night, and what (if any) medications they take. I am very accommodating and the more info I have, the better care I can give your pet!
A typical day
I spend a lot of time hiking in the gorge and in the Cascades. On a typical weekend day, I wake up early and get ready to head out for a hike with the pup! I’m usually back late afternoon or early evening to have dinner and relax at home for the rest of the day. I’ll generally spend the next day in town and get the pup out for a run or long walk. Sometimes, depending on the pet owner’s preference, I might plan a beach trip or some other fun day trip, or alternatively, I’m happy to keep it mellow if that best suits your pup’s needs.

Availability
I work Monday- Friday from 7 am- 4 pm, however I work from home most days. While working from home, I am able to occasionally step away to give a potty break or some loves! I work from the office on Wednesdays and Fridays meaning I will be away for 9+ hours on those days. If you would like to hire someone to check in on your pet on those days while I’m away, I will gladly discount the rate to help offset that additional cost to you!
