“Lizz saved the day for us! We had a family emergency come up and had to leave town last minute. Lizz was able to cover all the walks in our absence. She gave us great feedback and won over our shy pup. Highly recommend.”

“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 taking care of animals my whole life! I have a big heart for dogs, especially. I have two dogs, Scooter & Rocco, & have very little time in my life without one. I am more than happy to bring your dog to my place to hang out with my boys. I can do walks & doggy play dates! I'd also be willing to stay at your place for longer periods & during the week if I could bring my two boys with me! I have trained Scooter to be an ESA with additional tasks & a therapy dog. I work full time & have a very flexible schedule. I can pop in during the work day & work from home when needed! I have free time on weekends & some evenings, so if you work odd hours, I'm more than happy to stop by & feed, get out for a walk, & such! I always follow house rules. I generally ensure that gates are shut, collars are on, leashes are secure. I will treat your babies like my own & I do not play about my boys.

“Willow took great care of my older pup, Daisy!”

About: I’ve had my own pets my entire life. My first cat, I got when I was three years old and she lived until she was 26. I have years of experience in Montana as a pet sitter. I just moved to Bellingham! I am currently taking courses online to get my EMT, and can work from anywhere! My animals are extremely self-sufficient. Since my animals can be left alone for longer periods of time, I can be there for yours more! I am extremely attentive to animals. Constantly snuggling, giving scratches, taking them on walks. And I can keep to a strict feeding schedule! There will never be a lack of love!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and they are my favorite! I love every kind of dog and can’t wait to meet your best friend! I am a nanny so my schedule is quite flexible! I do a lot of online work as well which lets me spend lots of time with your pups! I will take care of your dog however you request! I will happily go outside and play fetch or just on a hike. If the dog needs medications or to be crated I will happily meet those needs!!

“Oh my goodness. What a great human. Emilia was so patient, sitting with my shy dog before going on the walks and she warmed up so well after the patience. I got videos and pictures. Emilia went above and beyond, so grateful!!”

About: I've been an animal person my whole life; from originally wanting to be a vet (decided to pivot due to the sadness that probably comes from being a vet) to caring for pets of my own. I've always felt I've been able to understand animals better than most people. I think it stems from my ability to innately understand their non-verbal communication. Hence, the Dolittle reference. A typical day in my home is calm, comfortable, and centered around the pet’s normal routine. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, a clean space, plenty of attention, and time to play or relax depending on their personality. I’m happy to follow any specific routines you have at home so your pet feels as comfortable and familiar as possible. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level, giving them plenty of affection when they want it and space when they need it.

These skills ensure that I can provide the best possible care for the pets I look after and maintain positive relationships with pet owners. I currently work from home, allowing me to have an extremely flexible schedule. I have lots of free time available during the day through out the week and weekends.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 13. I have experience in petsitting through family, friends and neighbors. Animals have always been in my life and their needs adjust my daily life. I’m currently a university student who is studying computer science. So a lot of my homework/ assignments are done on a computer meaning I’m home for most of the day! I have lots of extra time to interact/ have fun with a pet at home :) Walking: I provide long and stimulating walks with lots of sniffing, playing and exercise. Drop ins: I really enjoy these! I love greeting dogs and providing them with the mental/ physical stimulation they need for the day! ( I have lots of ideas prepared everyone’s different personality/size/activity) Boarding/ sitting: not available right now

About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life, and I will love your pets as I loved mine. I had two dogs and two cats, and loved them with all of my heart. I love walks and exercise and will make sure that your pet will be healthy and happy. I am in a home with no other animals, and will make sure that your pet gets all of the attention he or she needs. Animals and pets are part of your family and should be treated as such! I've always believed that pets are angels that have been sent to support and love us, and that love should be returned back. I can not wait to meet your lovely pets! I am a grad student completing school mostly remotely. I will go into the university once a week, but have time and flexibility to care for pets as I am home often. I will make sure your pets are loved, fed, have plenty of water and feel safe and comfortable. Pets are family members, and deserve the best care.

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!

About: I am familiar with walking larger dogs that pull (ex. Golden Retrievers & Huskies etc) as well as smaller dogs (ex. Corgi & Chihuahua etc). I also have experience petsitting and have a puppy of my own currently, so I have experience with puppies as well! :D I am a college student who has a lot of free time as a have only one class a day and I am looking to earn some money during the school year! I will care for the pets in my home/my clients home specifically according to the clients requests and the dog’s needs, emphasizing comfort of the animals!

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I grew up with 3 dogs and taking care of animals is a passion of mine. I have taken care of dogs that have cancer and other health issues so I am comfortable with giving medications and working with challenges that may arise with any dog! I live with a cat that I take care of daily and when I am back home, I am the fulltime caregiver for my 3 dogs. I know a dog's routine and what they need to happy and healthy, and I work around their schedule with anything I have going on. In your home I will respect it and treat it like my own. Any care instructions such as kenneling or a bedtime routine I will follow exactly as they are laid out for me.
