“Skylar was great! She was wonderful with my two dogs on the meet and greet, and was extremely punctual for their actual walk. I’m so happy to find such a responsible person to be able to call in the future!”

“My dog Arthur is always so excited to see Stone! They have developed a trusting bond which I really appreciate since Arthur is an anxious lad, and he's always nice and tired when they get done!”

Sierra D.

“My dog Emma is elderly and often prefers to amble and read the news left behind by other dogs, but sometimes she wants to pick up the pace. Meredith is so in tune with Em that her walks with Meredith provide the cardio Em needs as well as her social connections!”

“Kayli always leaves a thorough report of her walks and provides a few photos of outing. We appreciate her attention to the dogs’ personalities.”

About: Not only do I have over 30 years of personal pet experience, I've got decades of experience fostering pets of all types and volunteering with animals! My career is working with marine invertebrates and fish, plus at home I care for birds, reptiles, amphibians fresh water fish and shrimp, insects and a large senior dog! Dogs are my favorite people, and I really enjoying getting to know each pup and providing them exactly what they need to feel stimulated, safe and happy. I'm happy to train your pup with the commands and treats of your choosing and do some light grooming along with walks(or car rides with the window down for the most senior doggos if you prefer!) I'm a mom! And I'm passionate about animal care. Weekends are easiest for me to give your pet a LOT of attention, if needed. But I can do weekday care as well with my flexible schedule. If your dog has a favorite walking place, I'm happy to travel with them there if it's in town. My dog loved the Lake Padden dog park in his youth, even though we went to many dog parks! I know how important it is for most dogs to keep their routine! I prefer to visit your home to care for your pets. They will usually feel more comfortable in their own home. If your doggo needs to shadow someone at all times to feel secure, we can talk about your pup staying at my home instead. My senior dog loves a good cuddle partner or romp in the big fenced yard out back! Dogs that stay at my home would have a choice of sleeping on the dog bed in my room or on the bed with me and my pup. Or, there is also the choice of sleeping in my kid's room as well, if your dog prefers older kids who are great with dogs!

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: I am an experienced dog mom and dog whisperer. I have cared for all kinds of dogs small and large, young and old and special needs as well. I’m currently available full time for daytime and overnight (in your home) pet care. I use local beaches, parks and hiking trails for walking and sniff enrichments as well as fenced dog parks if your pup is amiable to that environment! I have a dog to keep yours company and play together. I walk them 3-4 times a day for enrichment and potty breaks. My pup enjoys rolling in the grass and watching for rabbits and squirrels.

“Lia was so wonderful to work with! The Rover cards she submitted were very detailed telling me exactly what they did, how much Benji pooped and peed, and lots of cute pics! She was very communicative and flexible with last minute schedule changes. I can tell she loves working with with pets and I would definitely recommend Lia to watch over your fur babies ☺️”

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 8 and all my dogs have shown great love towards me because I give them the full love back. I am known in the family as the family caretaker when our dogs get old and need special attention. The reason I take care of my dogs when they get older because I have the patience, attentions, and most of all, love in supporting them through their elderly stage. All pets deserve the best and I am more than happy to provide that! I am currently taking the year off from work to travel the world but in between my trips I have a lot of free time and feel it can be better spent taking care of pets while other people can enjoy trips or another activity that requires them to leave their pet at home. I have a 5-year old Havanese and I take him on walks daily, I make sure he is bathe at least once a month, and try to take him on as many trips so I can, so he can enjoy the world as much I as I do.

About: I am a current pet owner of two dogs and two cats, with experience with dog sitting and walking for the last five years, and I love it! I'm excited to meet your furry friends and help out! I have always been a big fan of dogs, and the idea that I can get paid doing something I love is so incredible to me! I am very good with dogs and understand that they all have their own personalities. I am also more than comfortable with cats in the household. I have my own transportation, as well as a valid driver's license. My schedule as a college student is very flexible, and there are very few hours I am unavailable! I look forward to working with you!

“Paulina is the best!!! Our Gracie absolutely loves her and she takes such amazing care of her! Gracie is always happy and ready for bed when we get home from work! Couldn’t ask for a more wonderful pet sitter!”

“Erin has been an amazing daily walker for our dog Penny! She is always very responsive and reliable, and super sweet with our girl. Penny also recently spent the weekend boarding at Erin’s house, and she was treated very well and made some new friends! We will definitely continue to use Erin for taking care of our puppy.”

About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life. Growing up, helping care for my family's pets—including dogs, birds, and fish—was one of my regular responsibilities. I also cared for several neighborhood dogs, sometimes looking after multiple dogs at once. I've had experience with dogs of all sizes, from Great Danes to the Chihuahua-Pug-Beagle mix I currently help care for at home. Because of this, I'm comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and care routines. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, and I'm committed to following each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, whether that's feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, or simply providing companionship. I know every dog is different, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. My schedule varies from week to week, so I update my availability regularly to ensure it's accurate. I'm consistently available on weekends and often have weekday availability as well, especially during school breaks and lighter weeks. If you have specific dates in mind, feel free to reach out—I do my best to accommodate requests whenever possible. When I commit to caring for your pet, you can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and fully present. I'll always be upfront about my availability so you can plan with confidence. I believe pets are happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll take the time to learn their normal schedule for meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and bedtime so they can feel comfortable while you're away. I enjoy spending quality time with the pets I care for, whether that means going on walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company. I'll make sure they have fresh water, plenty of exercise and enrichment, and lots of attention based on their individual personality and needs. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet owners, so I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos while you're away. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is safe, well cared for, and having a positive experience until you return.

About: I've lived with dogs my whole life and now I live with 4 cats, and I love to meet new animals and go outside! I have a few years’ experience pet-sitting for neighbors and family friends. I love to go on long walks and play with animals, and I'm comfortable with all breeds/sizes. I'm very attentive to animals feelings, and can easily adapt to your pet's personality and needs! I’m a full-time student at Western Washington University, so I have a lot of gaps and flexibility in my schedule to fit in regular pet visits. The exact times I am available will vary day to day, so reach out and I will get back to you shortly! I love every animal as if they were my own and am very adaptable to your pet’s needs. I’ll stick to your pets normal schedule for feeding, playtime and will ensure your pet is safe, supervised, comfortable and having fun the whole time they are with me.
