About: I have pet sit off and on since high school, and have had many different pets growing up. I specialize with cats, including anxious or ones needing medication. I am currently in college, and class time varies between days, but outside of class and especially on the weekends I have plenty of time and energy. Walks with dogs are long and steady, easily lasting 45+ minutes rain or shine. When working with cats, I like to keep it low energy, plenty of lap time if they would like and toys when they ask!

About: I grew up walking my neighbor's dogs and have always had a soft spot in my heart for them. I feel a kindred connection to Huskies because of my active lifestyle, but really just like all dogs. I can run, walk, or Netfix with all breeds! I work in the schools and am currently on summer break, so I have time to get into dog walking and pet sitting more consistently at the moment. Dogs are quite friendly and respectful with me. I'd like to think I am the same with them in that I can lead them but also follow their cues. I can also adhere to whatever instructions the owners give when sitting or walking.

“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: I have provided care for dogs and cats for over 20+ years. I was the first to volunteer in my youth to "stay home" with the animals. I am thoughtful and reliable and understand the importance of a maintained routine. I approach all visits with patience, care, and professionalism. I communicate clearly with pet parents and adjust my care to match each fur baby's personality. Trust and confidentiality are my priorities. Flexible schedule! I am currently between employment commitments while I assist family members with life changes. I am organized and reliable and can accommodate regular visits as well as short-notice needs. I prioritize maintaining your pet's normal routine to reduce any stress and ensure comfort and safety. I follow care instructions closely and monitor behavior and overall well being. I communicate regularly and provide all requested updates. I treat the client's home with care, professionalism and discretion at all times. I am an active person and enjoy walks/runs.

About: Happy Trails & Wagging Tails Hello, I'm Jess, and I love being outdoors just as much as your dog does. If there's a trail to hike, a route to run, or a bike path to cruise, I would love to have your four-legged friend along for the adventure. Why your pup will have a blast: Your dog won't be stuck on the couch while you're away. Depending on their energy level and age, they'll get adventurous runs and hikes, a fun fetch playtime, or a gentle walk around the block, and of course plenty of cuddles when it's time to wind down. I'll happily match your dog's pace, whether that's a trail-loving athlete or a laid-back senior who prefers a sniffari-stroll. Why you can trust me: For the past 5 years, I've been caring for my friends' dogs, from quick walks and feeding check-ins to long overnight stays. I'm comfortable sticking to your dog's routine, following feeding and medication instructions and schedules, and keeping a close eye on how they're doing. You'll get regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. A little about me: I'm active, reliable, and definitely the girl asking if I can pet your dog. If you run into me around town, it will most likely be out on the trails, in the climbing gym, or yoga studio. Or possibly the farmers market, or local community events around town. My main activities are running, hiking, backpacking, swimming, biking, climbing and mountaineering, and the more relaxing at-home hobbies include, baking, sewing, crafts, and planning fun girls nights with my friends. Send me a message if you're interested in setting up a meet and greet! I'd love to meet you and your best friend. I'm currently (recently) unemployed , and looking for pet-care to be somewhat of a part-time endeavor while I work on establishing self-employment working from home. With that said, I have lots of flexibility with my time and availability to work with your schedule and daily/weekly routines and needs. I have both had dogs stay with me in my home. I live in a 2 story townhouse with a small back patio. I have kept small and large dogs here without any issue. Usually I take dogs on a bathroom walk around the neighborhood, and for running or hiking, take them on trails. I have a running/bungee leash I use for running, but can use whatever harness, collar, and leash is preferred by the dog and owner. I have room for a crate if needed for overnight stays, but it would need to be provided as I do not own one. I have an SUV, and room for a dog bed and can hold a large dog in the back to transport for hikes or trail runs as needed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 13. I have experience in petsitting through family, friends and neighbors. Animals have always been in my life and their needs adjust my daily life. I’m currently a university student who is studying computer science. So a lot of my homework/ assignments are done on a computer meaning I’m home for most of the day! I have lots of extra time to interact/ have fun with a pet at home :) Walking: I provide long and stimulating walks with lots of sniffing, playing and exercise. Drop ins: I really enjoy these! I love greeting dogs and providing them with the mental/ physical stimulation they need for the day! ( I have lots of ideas prepared everyone’s different personality/size/activity) Boarding/ sitting: not available right now

About: I’ve grown up owning and caring for many different dogs and cats, from small Chihuahuas to a Great Dane, so I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve also cared for up to five dogs at a time, so I’m comfortable keeping up with multiple pets and making sure each one gets the attention and care they need. I’m also a proud cat mom to two cats of my own, and they mean the world to me! I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and animals are my happy place!! I’m currently studying to become a vet tech, which has always been a dream of mine. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’d love to give your pets plenty of love, attention, and exercise! I live in Bellingham and attend school full-time online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Since I’m able to do my schoolwork from home, I have plenty of availability throughout the week for pet care. I’m flexible with different days and times and can work around each pet’s routine and needs. I’ll always make sure your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while following their normal routines. I’ll keep my phone on me so you can reach me anytime, and I’m always happy to send updates and pictures!
