House Sitting Mount Baker

About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets since I can remember. My family has had three dogs, four chickens, and a cat in my life with different needs and routines. I love animals and am able to adapt my pet sitting style based on their needs. My pet sitting experience ranges from a miniature schnauzer puppy to an old farm dog retriever. I will be shadowing at a Physical Therapy clinic, as well as peer mentoring for summer courses, so I will most likely be gone during the day. I am a morning person, so I don’t mind having to wake up early to make sure the pets need to go to the bathroom or get fed. I can adapt my schedule to fit the needs of your pet pretty easily, I am able to juggle many commitments at once. I am very detail-oriented, so I can follow any routine or set of care instructions precisely. Pets can be like an extra family member, and I understand how it is important to find someone you can trust to take care of them like so. I approach every new pet I meet with love and care, and will make sure they are as comfortable as possible. If there are any special needs or time where a pet needs, I make sure to set alarms and reminders so I don’t forget. When I interact with a pet, I make sure to read their body language so I don’t overstep any boundaries they may have.

“Matt was fantastic! My dog can be a little challenging at times, but Matt was determined to make Baxter comfortable with his stay and to become good buddies. He was communicative, took Bax on great walks, left the house clean, and my dog seemed so happy when I arrived home! Will definitely be using Matt in the future and highly recommend him to anyone searching for a great dog sitter!!”

“Madison is fantastic! She took such good care of my pack! She made sure everyone ate, even though my Andy is scared to eat around people he isn’t very familiar with!! I will have Madison watch my boys every time we need a sitter!! Plus she left the house in immaculate shape - I couldn’t tell she was here!!”

“Sophia was absolutely amazing! She took time to meet my pup ahead of the stay and then communicated and shared photos throughout the stay. She was beyond patient with Shadows needs, and navigated a challenging moment incredibly. She is a gem!”

Ashley G.

“Katarina was an amazing sitter for Zuko. She was incredibly accommodating, gave me continuous updates on Zuko, and went above and beyond with her care. Zuko ended up having some tummy issues and Katarina immediately updated me on the problem and even picked up his prescription from the vet on my behalf. She took great care of the home and was always available to help where she could while I was away. I would 100% book her services again and I am incredibly grateful for her care. Thank you so much Katarina!”

“Haley was so great with communication and feedback while I was gone for the week, and both my cat and dog act as though I haven’t even been away. It was such an ease knowing they were well taken care of.”

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, dogs that have complicated medical needs to dogs that are lax and can do everything on their own. I’ve always grown up with cats as well as a plethora of other animals including fish, lizards, birds, and frogs. I’ve housesat for multiple people over the years and have received much positive feedback! I’m working evening at a restaurant from 3pm to 8pm, so it doesn’t cause much shift in my capability to care for your furry friends! I am more than happy to stay at your place in caring for your pets or if easier/preferred, I can stop by intermittently throughout the day to give your pet the care it needs.

“Karla was amazing with Suds! I had way too many instructions, and he can sometimes be difficult so I was worried he would annoy a sitter. Karla listened to all my requests for updates and made Suds very comfortable. Would definitely work with her again!”

Kelly Jo M.

“AJ watched our 3 cats and 4 chickens again this time for 12 nights. It was clear that everyone was so well looked after and cared for. We came back to a ridiculously clean home and are just so grateful for all of AJ's hard work.”

Tara R.

“Karrin was super flexible with me leaving out of town and coming back later than planned. She kept me in the loop with my dogs and sent me pictures and updates as well. I would highly recommend her!”

Amanda H.

“Janette did a wonderful job caring for my dogs while I was on vacation. I recommend her service and won't hesitate to have her watch my dogs in the future.”

Dustin J.

“Shyla was INCREDIBLE! I have a very demanding cat, Tiny and was extremely nervous about leaving her as I had never left her for that long. Shyla was amazing at housesitting for over two weeks, providing frequent updates and photos and was able to develop a bond with Tiny. Normally Tiny is angry when I come home from trips, but this time she seemed happy which was just an amazing thing to return to. Highly recommend Shyla, she is the best❤️”

Sabrina B.

“We had a wonderful housesitting experience with Dariya! While we were gone, we received daily photos/videos and highlights from the day. She incorporated our routines and training methods where applicable, and was attentive to the crews specific needs. The house was just as we left it and we came home to a happy group. We would recommend and rebook with Dariya!”

About: I have had pets all of my life, my mom had two dogs and a cat before I was even born. I am a passionate animal advocate and have fostered and rescued over 50 dogs in the last 10 years with Northwest Boxer Rescue, and I took a Veterinary Medicine class in my final year of high school. I have all the basic medical experience of a Veterinary Assistant, and I am CPR trained for cats and dogs! I am also trained in basic grooming and small animal first aid. I have taken care of and owned a variety of animals, from rodents to horses and livestock, and I have fostered dogs from newborn puppies to seniors in their final days. I am currently in my 2nd year at WWU and I only have classes twice a week with a super flexible schedule. I’d love to meet you and your fur babies of all shapes and sizes! I am currently just a student, so I have plenty of extended free time to take care of your pets. On days I have class, I can stop by or take your dog for a walk in the mornings before 10am, and come back later around 4pm as well, with a mid day check-in too if you’d like! :) I am free all days besides Tues/Thurs, and I can be flexible with your schedule too! I am available on weekends and late nights. I have a quarter of an acre fully fenced yard for my dog at home, and my cats are indoor only cats. I take my dog for walks twice a day, and love to spend at least 30 minutes playing with one of my cats at home, he is an energetic breed and needs interaction. My other cats love to snuggle up with me on the couch, so I have no issue taking your dog for a walk and getting in some needed playtime, or just snuggling up with a furry friend on the couch and giving them some loves! My pets are fed twice a day, and they all have water fountains with frequently cleaned and filtered water. My dog goes out for potty breaks every couple of hours as needed. Routinely pet care is very important to me as well, I brush my cats & trim their nails, and I bathe, brush, and clip my dog as well. My pets are all vaccinated and on flea & tick medication. I can comfortably crate (and rotate) if needed. All of my cats are 100% indoor only and I am VERY vigilant about this! Keep cats indoors 😊

“Adrianna was great! She provided helpful updates and photos throughout her stay and left our home in great shape. Our cat was happy and well cared for. We plan to book with Adrianna again.”
