“Morgan is great with our Gus! He is shy around other people and we wanted him to be more comfortable around other people--so we thought a dog walker was a good idea. Morgan is gentle and patient ith him. She's only been our dog walker for a short time, but when we say "Morgan's coming today" his head snaps towards the door in anticipation of her coming. We highly recommend her.”
“Heidi was great! She accepted a very last-minute request and asked great questions about Nova. She arrived early to meet her and be sure Nova would feel comfortable with her. Heidi brings great knowledge and professionalism to her work. Will call her again!”
“Zane has been very helpful for our two dogs with walkings during the day while we are at work. It is especially more complex as we have a 3 month old puppy who is still in training. Zane has been reliable and communicative throughout the day while we are away.”
About: “For every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird in the mountains, and the insects in the fields are mine”. Psalm 50:10-11 From growing up with a K9 officer dad, to our family run dog grooming business with my mom—-caring for animals comes naturally—-all breeds, all sizes! 🤍 Currently I am a medical student awaiting to take my boards! My days are filled with studying. What better way to have a study break then a little fur therapy? I will treat all of the dogs like they are my own! Giving them the basics of life - food, water, potty time, treats and playtime—and catering to each specific need.
About: Available now for pet sitting in Sedro-Woolley, Bellingham and Mount Vernon! I have owned cats, large dogs (100 + lbs), and horses over the years, so I'm well-versed in handling a variety of pet needs. I am comfortable around animals and can stand my ground with them. I enjoy large breeds and, having two 150Lbs + dogs before I know how hard it is to find someone to take care of them! I am available for short and long term stays in Whatcom and Skagit counties. Dogs, cats, horses, turtles and fish - all welcomed and loved! I work as a school bus driver, so I leave the house early in the morning for few hours, then have 2-4 hrs off and then drive the kids home in the afternoon, usually 2-6 pm. If this is something that will work for you and your pet family, please reach out! I usually do a greet & meet before to make sure that everyone is comfortable! I will follow the directions you give me, be it giving medication to your pets, putting it in the crate at night or when away and any other rules that you may have.
About: Hi, I'm Zora, and I am 18-year-old student who grew up in Mount Vernon. I am currently taking a gap year in Norway as a photography and Norwegian language student, and I am looking to do some pet care while I’m home for the holidays. During high school I was a dedicated leadership volunteer teacher aide at a preschool. I have a cat and a small dog and I love taking care of pets! I can stay at your house or just drop by when needed, and I can walk smaller dogs or calmer large dogs - I'm just not strong enough to handle super big dogs if they pull a lot when walking. I am very calm and gentle and I volunteered at the NOAH animal shelter for years with both dogs and cats. I love animals and my goal is to make them feel comfortable and safe when they are in my care. I am just visiting home for the holidays, so drop ins and walks are the only thing I am available for at the moment. I will be back home again late this summer. I do not offer boarding, but I have a dog friendly car so I can take them for a hike or a visit to the park if you are comfortable. I will spend as much time as I can with your pets to ensure they feel loved, comfortable, and happy when they are in my care. I am gentle and patient and will not force affection on animals who aren’t enthusiastic about it.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets my whole life. I’m the baby of the family and kids want pets and then they get bigger and forget. I’ve taken care of others pets my whole life haha. Pet care is a big part of the routine. If I’m not taking care of my needs I’m going to be taking care of their needs. Like the pets have a place of their own. Heaters and blankets for the cold and fans and water fun for the hot . Human like feel.
About: I grew up with cats my whole life. I currently have a 13 year old tabby named Charlie. I have watched several cats, dogs, and even chicken over the last 10 years. I am very passionate about animal advocacy. I previously worked at NOAH Animal Shelter and Brigadoon Service Dogs. I recently watched six goats for the first time and had a blast! They have a lot of personality and love affection. So I am also available to watch small farm animals. I'm currently available full time for pet sitting which means I have a very flexible schedule. I am happy to check on your pet daily as well as other house sitting chores if requested. My husband and I are renting so unfortunately we can't host pets at our home. I'm more than happy to check in on your animals at your residence. I will leave it cleaner than I found it.
“Riley is great with our dog, a Shiba Inu. Our dog, who can be very temperamental, immediately loved her and jumped into her arms for loving when he first met her. He rarely does that! Riley is very responsible, conscientious, and friendly. We will definitely hire her again when we need our dog cared for.”

It’s so nice seeing the enjoyment of animals and how sweet they are. I currently have full time availability to hangout with your animals and give them the care they are needing. I’m just studying online at the moment I will make sure if there are specific details to follow them and keep them on the same schedule they are always on that way they do not get out of routine for you
About: I’ve had dogs since I was close to 5 and cats my whole life I love watching animals and playing with them so much it just brings me joy! I’m not working until December so if you book before then I’m able to come the same day and stay as long as you need me to and show the animals as much attention as needed.

About: I am a complete and utter dog lover. I love to play with, exercise with, and just take dogs with me in all of my experiences. A dog makes every experience better. I grew up with two golden retrievers, Jake and Angie, and have had dogs my entire life. I have a dog who is my brother’s but lives with me as well. She gets along great with other dogs and is a huge part of why I love to board dogs at my home now. As for my availability, I am somewhat limited, as I currently work a part to full-time job. However, all of my free time will be dedicated to your dog if you choose me to care for them! I have pet sat many times for friends and for people I haven’t met, so I do have experience with a variety of dogs and puppies, cats and kittens, chickens, reptiles, and fish, and can’t wait to get more under my belt. I’d love to board your precious pups at my place, sit them at yours, or drop in during the day to make sure they’re okay. However, for any boarding situations I do like to see or at least hear of proof of flea medication/treatment, and/or have your word that your dogs are not a health liability to my animals. I have a part to full time job, but I typically don’t work long hours, which leaves plenty of time available to care for your pets. I have a fenced yard with plenty of running room for dogs to play. I also have a big, cozy house and love to have a dog to cuddle up on the couch with.

Riley is great with our dog, a Shiba Inu. Our dog, who can be very temperamental, immediately loved her and jumped into her arms for loving when he first met her. He rarely does that! Riley is very responsible, conscientious, and friendly. We will definitely hire her again when we need our dog cared for.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Avery was amazing! We booked her for 6 days of dog walking while we were out of town, and I can honestly say she went above and beyond. Our dog Willow has pretty high anxiety, so we asked Avery to come three times a day to walk her and feed her—and she handled everything perfectly. She even met with me beforehand to ask thoughtful questions about Willow’s routines, preferences, and health, which immediately made me feel at ease. Avery sent lots of updates and photos while we were away, and I could tell Willow was getting so much love and attention. She took her on long, calming walks and really understood how to care for her. We also have a cat, Nova, who wasn’t part of the booking, but Avery still cleaned up after her and gave her cuddles too! She’s polite, respectful, super communicative, and genuinely fantastic with animals. Willow absolutely adored her—and so did we! We’ll definitely be booking her again in the future. Highly recommend!
