Skylar can care for
Availability
I am currently a full time student at UW-Seattle, so I have some free time (especially during the weekends) throughout the week to come say hi to your pup or cat, hang out with them, take them for a walk, get some energy out, etc. I have a car (very reliable transportation) and am willing to drive a little far if needed!

About Skylar B.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a lot of experience with different types of dogs/cats. One of my dogs is more comfortable being in a crate (we call it her house), but can sometimes be a little difficult to convince to go into her “house”, so I have experience getting reluctant dogs into their crates, if needed. I am also very good at reading and reacting to the boundaries that animals set, so I won’t overwhelm or stress out your animal- I understand how scary strangers can be!
Information Skylar B. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know if your dog has any specific toys they love and games they like to play! How they walk on a lease or if they like to run at all! Also if they are food motivated or not!
A typical day
Long walks, fetch, mental stimulation games, etc! I have had a variety of different dogs who like to play in different ways. Some who need exercise to calm them down, and some who could go on 2 hour long walks and still have energy. I know a lot of fun and creative ways to get a dog’s energy out, even if a walk won’t do it! I have (informally) trained dogs before and have also found that it’s a great way to tire them out or keep them entertained!

Pets
I love big/small, young/older pups!
Pet care experience
I have loved and cared for dogs my whole life. Sydney, my childhood Australian shepherd lived a beautiful 17 year life, where, in his older years, I took care of him and his medical issues that arose. My dog at home, Agnes, is your typical older greyhound- a couch potato, low motivation goober. I have taken care of her since my family adopted her several years ago, and learned how to care for an older dog who is not food motivated, and has some medical issues from her time that she raced before we rescued her. I currently live with my roommates dog, Mac, who is a big love ball, lab/Great Dane mix. He has a ton of energy, and requires a whole other level and type of care compared to Sydney/Agnes. So, needless to say, I have a lot of experience loving and caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, energy levels, etc. I have very informal puppy training, and walked dogs at shelters when I was younger, so I also have some experience with dogs who may be uneasy or anxious with strangers and earning their trust.
Cat care experience
Skylar also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Skylar is great and very reliable. She was able to take on a few check-ins on our cat last minute. Our cat gets lots of attention in her care ❤️
Skylar took such good care of our cat (and house) while we were away for a week. We’ll definitely call her again the next time we need help!
Skyler was amazing! She’s super responsive and my puppy who is shy towards strangers took to her very quickly. Highly recommend her to help take care of your pets!
Skylar takes such great care of dogs and cats alike. She is incredibly kind, responsible and enthusiastic. A really smart pre-med student, you could not ask for a better person to care of your fur baby.
