“Samantha was wonderful with our dog and was very good with communicating and even made him some ice to enjoy while we were gone since it was so hot out. Will be using her services again(:”


“Bridget did an amazing job taking care of our old dog and two cats over new years break. It was such a relief to not have to take our old dog to the kennel while we were gone - to know he was in a familiar environment with a sweet helper made it easy to relax while we were on vacation.”



“Ari is simply awesome! My dog stays with my parents when I have to work and my mom says my dog gets soooo excited once she sees Ari’s car pull up. Just as excited as when we pulll up. Makes me so happy and at ease that my dog is getting her needs met when away”


“Amazing! Absolutely amazing. Great communication, very trust worthy. Loves animals and is great with my disabled pup. Couldn't have asked for a better sitter/dog walker.”


“Kelli is awesome! So sweet and caring and she also agreed to do and meet and greet which i appreciate. She was super patient with my dog even though he made a mess. She is very kind and cleaned up after his mess today. She sent many photos while on her visit and Sig loved her.”


About: I've been a pet lover since I was a kid. I started with frogs, lizards and snakes, and graduated to cats and dogs. Until I was able to have dogs of my own, I spent over 10 years pet-sitting for friends and family, volunteering in animal shelters, and have even worked in 2 seperate doggy daycares. My MO is always long walks and lots of attention. I have 2 dogs of my own, a cumulative 17 years of pet raising experience. I have experience caring for sick pets and administering medication both orally and subcutaneously. I've had my pups since they were young and would consider them very well trained. If you're looking to work on certain behaviors, I can absolutely work on that during their stay. I have a fenced yard, a safe neighborhood for long walks, and for longer stays, expect your dog to enjoy a nice hike! I mostly work from home, so your dog(s) would never be alone and would have access to my fully fenced backyard whenever they want. During the week, I can do a long walk during my lunch break, and another after work. Weekends I tend to go hiking, so if your pup enjoys nature, they will for sure have a great time. My yard is fully fenced, and I have 2 friendly dogs. Safety is paramount, so dogs would be supervised while in the yard together. If your dog requires a crate, I have both a plastic and soft sided kennel for indoors.

“Paige has been awesome. Very dependable and our Basset, Maddie loves her walks with Paige. I booked a couple of days to start while my wife was hospitalized and I was spending long hours there. I have now booked a second week, two walks a day because Paige has proven to be excellent!”

“Maycee has sat for us twice now and takes great care of our large shepherd mix. Grateful for her attention to detail and punctuality! Veda always seems happy and relaxed after a visit with Maycee.”


“Helena has been our steadfast furry friend walker for years and she has been fabulous! Communicative, flexible, kind and more. Helena comes highly recommended by my family!”

“She was awesome! She was absolutely fantastic with Kai. She took pictures of him on every walk. He was very excited to see her every time. We had to change the schedule for walking at the last minute but she was very accommodating. She was also excellent at communicating, responding promptly to my messages. I will definitely book her again!”


About: * summer is here and I still have a few openings left so book asap! Also... I know it seems too early and sunny to think about the holidays, but I usually book up months in advance so reach out, even if you don't have exact travel plans, but know you'll need pet care. I currently have Labor Day already booked, but mid November - New Years is pretty much open, except one booking in Dec. Check my updated calendar. My dog care experience spans all ages and breeds. I know puppies are more work, but I enjoy working with them on leash and obedience training to maintain good habits while their people are away. I have experience with giving daily medications and have cared for senior dogs, one who needed daily blood sugar testing and insulin shots. I live mobile between pet sitting gigs staying with friends and family from Marysville to Olympia. I started pet sitting for clients when I was house cleaning during the time I was in grad school. Because I was already working in their homes and had biweekly interactions with their pets, it was an easy transition to pet care. It was also during this time that a couple of professors inquired about pet sitting. I was a backup for one of thier regular sitters and the other, I'm still their regular sitter 7+ years later. I care for your pets the same way you would. They like to sleep in the bed with me? Cool. They need extra outside play time or walks to keep their anxiety low because you're gone? Done. I am very intuitive to reading their energy and do everything I can to meet their needs. Do you have some anxiety about being away and want pictures daily? Got it covered. My experience with house cleaning also menas I take care of the spaces I am staying so I am happy to water house plants and take care of gardens if needed.

“Matthew was courteous and quick with communication for our first meet & greet + walk. It is very clear that he has worked a lot with dogs and understands their unique personalities. Thank you!”


About: We are an active dog loving family in Olympia. We love to get out to Capital Forest on the weekend or run or walk to our local parks. We work from home most days and otherwise work close to home. We work full-time from home 3 days per week and venture into the office a short distance 2 days per week. Our early morning feed and walk routine makes us ideal for hosting your pet at our place or for making a morning visit to care for your dog. We have a fenced front and back yard. The fence is high (6ft). We offer a quiet environment with much dog lounging to be had as well as playtime outside or in. Our wooded side lot offers many birds, sounds and smells for dogs to enjoy.

About: I’ve had animals throughout my life. Currently, I have two kitties. I’ve also had a snake, dogs, and chickens before. I have experience with both large and small dogs. From administering medication to playing fetch, I can help with your pet’s needs! I’m currently working part time in the evenings and I’m looking to fill up my schedule a little bit more. I thought, no better way to spend my time than with some animals! I’m available during the days on weekdays and all day on weekends! I try to approach every situation with pets very calmly, I know every animal is unique and has its own boundaries. I make sure to never make the pet feel threatened or scared in their house or around me in general. Animals are so intuitive and smart, you have to approach them with love and respect!

About: I grew up with a dad that trained dogs and I have watched, trained, and cared for dogs my whole life. I love all animals and would love to take care of your fur baby! I have an extremely flexible schedule, I can accommodate most request. I would love to make pet care taking a full time role! Your fur baby will be getting my upmost care and attention. In my home I have pet cameras and separated areas for your pet to play in. Additionally I make sure the ground and reachable areas are always clear of any chocking hazards. In your home I will make my goal to keep your home and pet secure and safe.

“Deidre is an exceptional pet caregiver! She has taken care of my dog, Sam — a very high-energy pointer — with so much love, patience, and attention over the years. Sam absolutely adores spending time with her and her friendly pups. It gives me great peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. What really sets Deidre apart is how thoughtful and intentional she is with all animals in her care.
