“Great communication and easy to work through details of the stay. Ron is a super kind person who will take great care of your pets! Don’t hesitate to book him to hang out with your pups!”

“We are so thankful to have found Karolina! From the moment we met her, we could tell that she truly loves animals. She stayed in our home and kept our senior dog and rambunctious younger dog for a week while we were on vacation. I tend to worry about leaving them because I know my two pups are a handful, but Karolina kept them very happy and content! She shared daily photos and updates, and she did a great job following all the instructions we left her. We returned home to happy dogs and a spotless house! Many thanks, Karolina!”

“Morgan is fantastic! She showed up on time and fell in love with my puppy from the minute she arrived. She sent pictures, played with her and kept her cuddled up and happy until we returned. She is great! I would highly suggest her!!”
“Donna has been 5he perfect sitter. We gave used her twice now and she will be our go to from here on out. My dog loves her and the place looks better than it did when I left. She iscaring and very responsive. You can't go wrong!”

“Jessica was exceptional. On time, great communicator, neat and tidy in my house, and so kind. My dog Luca loves her. I felt so at ease leaving him with her! And I am a neurotic dog dad lol.. She’s just the best!!”

“Morgan was amazing!!! She watched our two dogs and cat in our home. She was already up to speed on our pets profiles before our meet and greet, and asked a ton of thoughtful questions about their routines and habits. She sent daily updates and pictures - it was such a relief to know our pets were safe and happy while we were out of town! Morgan also went out of her way to be at the house to let in our cleaning service and wheeled our dumpster to the curb when I forgot. Definitely will book Morgan again the next time we go on vacation! 😊”

“This is the second time Veronica took care of my house and pets. This first time was only for a few days. This time it was for 2 weeks. My pets were well cared for and I got pictures of them regularly. Even my super timid cat who doesn’t do well with new people warmed up to Veronica and would sit with her. Seeing that made me feel that I’d made the best choice possible for a house/pet sitter. Veronica did everything I had asked her to do, including accommodating a contractor who did some repairs while I was gone. When I got home, the house was cleaner than when I left! This was an excellent experience.”

“Samara was the perfect fit for my dog who has separation anxiety. Her calm, confident demeanor kept Buster relaxed and happy for the entire time we we gone. Samara was very flexible and asked great questions. I will not hesitate for a second to book her again!”

“Kathryn really helped us out with a last minute booking! She was great with the boundaries we put in place for our reactive dog. Even willing to swing by one extra time when our flight got delayed.”

“Liz was fantastic with the cats and their specific needs. She was very communicative and The house was very clean when I got back! I'll be booking with her when I go out of town again 100 %.”


About: I’ve always had pets as my best friends! I grew up with my two dogs, a golden retriever and an Australian shepherd, have had three cats, one who had a litter and I helped watch over her and her kittens, and I have raised chicks many times with my family. I’ve had many pet sitting gigs for family friends and know great trail systems that are good for walking and safe from roads. I love animals and would love to help take care of yours!! I am currently a senior in high school and so I am in class from 7:50-2:20 every week day until June 12th but am available any other time of day! I enjoy taking pets for regular walks throughout the day on safe trail systems, some where they can run off leash without worry of cars or many other people or animals, and am used to keeping them on a timely schedule with meals because I do that for my dogs. I love to play games like fetch or tug-a-war with them to help get all their fun energy out and cuddle them after when they’re tired!
“Sara was terrific! Last minute on my part and we were able to talk it through and work it out! I would definitely hire Sara again. She is very professional. It turns out she is close to my home, so I am considering taking my dog, to Sara's day care, to become more socialized. Thank you Sara.”

“Sabina did such a wonderful job house sitting for us and watching our two big dogs! One of them has a couple of quirks and requires multiple long walks a day and Sabina was able to accommodate that. She was super communicative and sent us pictures of the doggies every day so we could feel at ease during our trip! Our dogs seem very happy, and our house was spotless coming back home. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you, Sabina!”

“Isabelle did a great job with our very challenging handful! She’s very kind and patient and was easy to talk to. If she’s open to it, we’d definitely have her watch Buda again.”

About: I grew up in a household taking care of many different types of animals. Dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, caged birds, as well as livestock such as chickens, various fowl and goats. My dog walking and sitting experience includes caring many rescues since I was a small child. My calf demeanor and gentle presence works well with all breeds, and I have the patience and experience required to work with energetic and challenging animals. Understanding how dogs communicate and express various emotions is a key part of being a good caretaker. I am a touring bluegrass musician, but have plenty of home time. My schedule works great for folks that are looking for a dog walker while they are out of town or just need someone to help take some of the walking off your hands to free up time! Dont hesitate to reach out with any questions. I am always available and responsive, and very easy to get ahold of at all times. I have a very thorough understanding of the importance of meticulous care and trust in a dog walking or pet care relationship. My approach is always 100% of the time treating your pet, belongings and property with the utmost respect, via deliberation and forethought. I pride myself in curating a safe, trusting environment with my clients.
About: Reliable, trustworthy, and warm-hearted pet sitter experienced with animals of all personalities. I provide loving, attentive care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and treated like family while owners are away I’m a current student at WWU, majoring in Recreation Management & Leadership. I am able to be available M-TH anytime after 3:30 until June & then summer starts & my schedule clears up! Friday, Saturday & Sunday I’m available all day everyday!! We have a fenced yard & live just a short walk away from Whatcom Falls park & Bloedel Donovan so your pup is sure to have some good walks!!!
“This is the second time Camille helped us out and she was great again. I love how well she communicates with us while we’re gone and I trust that my animals are receiving the best care.”

Amber was very professional with our interactions. She took great care of our two dogs to include taking them out and frequent walks. She followed our requests to care for our homeland we found it to be exceptional when we returned. She further took extra care with my wife's dahlias which is very much appreciated. We would have Amber if available take care of our dogs and house without any reservations again.

Sabina did such a wonderful job house sitting for us and watching our two big dogs! One of them has a couple of quirks and requires multiple long walks a day and Sabina was able to accommodate that. She was super communicative and sent us pictures of the doggies every day so we could feel at ease during our trip! Our dogs seem very happy, and our house was spotless coming back home. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you, Sabina!

Allison was very easy to work with and did a great job with our pets. She was receptive to our needs and showed up for our dogs. Having Allison support us allowed us to focus on our trip and not worry about what was happening at home. I would easily use Allison again and/or recommend her for anyone else
