House Sitting in Meridian, Bellingham, WA

“Madison was great. She took excellent care of my 19 year old cat who also needed thyroid medication twice daily. She was quick to understand what was needed and left the house looking clean and tidy. Sent the cutest photos too! I will definitely ask for her help with my cat again.”

“Second time having Shyla stay for a week with my older dog, Georgie. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Kindest cleanest and gives you the best pup pics. Visited us beforehand to get a food prep refresher. I feel safe leaving because I know the house and Georgie are in good hands.”

Rachelle O.

“Jase was amazing with my dog!! It was my first time leaving her for more than 12 hours and I felt so safe leaving my dog with him over a weekend. He took my dog on a hike and sent me pictures which I really appreciated!”

“I know Laura as Rene and they did an amazing job watching our husky Luna while we were on a cruise! We expected to have cell and Wi-Fi reception for the duration of our trip but as it turns out we did not. That didn’t phase Rene as they still sent us photos and updates throughout and was able to keep Luna calm during 4th of July fireworks. Rene is a super sitter and we will definitely be using them again. Luna can’t wait for more either”

Charles K.

“Stone is the best. She has an obvious love for animals and is extremely responsive. Our dog and kitty clearly were well taken care of and the house was just as we had left it after 5 days away. Highly recommend her, and we will definitely book her again! Thanks again Stone!”

About: Taking leisurely strolls with the pups while ensuring they're leashed up and needs are maintained is of great importance to me. I'm patient with dogs that enjoy sniffing and taking in the scenery. Your furry friends will be loved and played with and compassionately cared for. My current availability is Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday while I attend classes at BTC. The schedule will vary per quarter as I attend classes and will be regularly maintained to reflect my availability. Carefully listening to and following the owners instructions (you know your pet best). I will keep you updated on how your fur baby is doing with images and texts. Treating your pets with the same love and care that I give mine.

“Emma was wonderful in watching my young pup Rémi. She checked in regularly and Rémi was a happy boy upon my return. Will definitely reach out to Emma again!”

Erik S.

“Mikayla did such a great job taking care of our pups while we were out of town for over a week. She consistently kept us updated with pictures, followed all care instructions, communicated well, and the house was spotless when we got home. As nervous dog parents to leave them with someone new, we are very happy to have found Mikayla and would absolutely book her again!”

Hailey G.

“We were very pleased with Kayli. Right from the start, she interacted so nicely with our dog. We were only gone overnight, but she sent pictures to us. Would highly recommend Kayli for dog sitting.”

About: im an animal lover and very experienced pet sitter of all ages and energy levels including puppies and seniors. im patient, Friendly and enthusiastic about giving your fur baby the best care, whatever they need. I am a college student and have plenty of time in my day to care for pets, especially now in the summer. I'll be able to spend as much time with your pets as you need, at any time in the day. im very patient and skilled at caring for senior dogs, including if they have mobility issues. im well versed in using crates and always make sure to give your dog water and shade when its warm out.

About: *About our place: For the holiday season I am booked! My son is available to housesit and do drop ins if interested please let me know. He has plenty of experience housesitting for friends farms as well as taking care of our pets. I will oversee his work. Our property is like a huge dog park! We have 3 treed and open fully fenced acres with a doggie door, covered deck, agility course, a pond for those that like to swim, plenty of toys, dog beds, room to dig and play and friendly dogs to play with. We have dogs, cats, and ducks (which are always penned up safely). We cannot take aggressive dogs or cat aggressive dogs. If your dog is reactive to other dogs we are unable to accommodate them. * About me I owned a grooming shop for 17 years and worked at a vet clinic for 15 years. I have also worked with multiple dog rescues over the years. I have experience with special needs dogs and those that require extra TLC. I only use positive reward based training. * Boarding For this option, your pup(s) will be staying in my home. I have dogs myself , so I ask for advanced notice of at least 72 hours before drop off because dogs coming last minute can be disruptive to our home life. Due to an unfortunate circumstance and privacy concerns with a potential client I no longer allow people inside my home for meet and greets. We can do meet and greets in our fenced back yard if you so choose. Meet and greets are not required. We often offer a trial day in lieu of a meet and greet as dogs act different when their owners leave and we want to see the true dog. I can only take a max of 2 dogs at once. If from different families I must know they dogs before they are allowed to interact with another family’s dog and be similar in age, temperament. All male dogs over a year must be neutered. No female dogs in heat. Dogs should be crate trained in the event of an emergency. If you have a puppy we can work on gentle crate training by feeding the pup in a crate and letting them out immediately after. The crate is always associated with something positive. We are not a kennel, this is our home and everyone’s safety is top priority. Your dog will be able to roam the house, sleep on the couch, use a doggie door to go in and out as they please and lots of playtime. We cannot hold spots available for you unless you reserve the spot. I adjust to your dog’s schedule. I do not expect them to adjust to mine. *Other Pets For this service we can also pet sit for more then just dogs. Caged animals such as birds, reptiles and small animals have their own private room. We have experience with snakes, bearded dragons, a variety of geckos, sugar gliders, rats, guinea pigs, bunnies, axolotls, and birds. Caged animals are NEVER allowed to intersect with other species or other animals they did not come with. We can feed, interact with and clean cages as necessary. The price is the same as our dog boarding fees due to the extra attention exotics need. **all pick ups must be no later than 6pm. If you are ruining late the dog or small animal can stay another day and you can pick up in the morning. *Housesitting- I do weekends only* For this option, I will provide drop ins during the day and stay overnight in your home. A meet and greet is required for this so we can go over food, dog’s or cats access in your home, potty break times, meds needing to be given etc. I can walk your dog during drop in times or play with your kitty. I am dog and human CPR/First Aid certified. I can do any type of medications your pet needs as well as feed any diet your dog or cat needs. *Doggie Daycare- Pick ups must be no later than 6pm. Your dog will have access to our huge backyard, they can swim in our pond or play in the baby pool. We have a small agility course and we do lure coursing. Plenty of my own dogs to run and play chase with. Due to our schedules we have the flexibility to give pets the time and energy they require. We don't use any harsh chemicals or pesticides on our property. We use beneficial nematodes in our yard to prevent fleas and other pests. My husband and I work opposite shifts so someone is always home. We have a doggie door so even the youngest pups can get outside to use the potty when they need. Our deck is separately fenced from our yard so they are always supervised. I treat all pets like family. I worked as a dog groomer and a vet tech for many years so I have a lot of experience. We can tailor the experience to fit your pup’s needs if necessary. While I do work, my husband and I work opposite shifts and my teenager does online school so someone is always home. We tailor our schedule to fit your dog’s needs. Dogs are welcome on our couch and we also have various dog beds for their comfort. My dogs are part of our family and your dogs will be cared for the same way.
