“Natasha was wonderful! She checked on my barn cats over a 2 week period. There is a camera on our automatic cat feeder. I was watching the cats and suddenly a dog appeared knocking over the feeder. Natasha was able to come the next day, refill the feeder and block the dog from entering our yard. She was also flexible with her schedule when our travel plans changed. I will definitely rebook with Natasha anytime that we are out of town.”
“Haley did drop-in visits with our two cats over the Thanksgiving holiday. She did an amazing job, provided excellent updates, and went above and beyond our expectations. If you're thinking of having someone watch your pets then look no fur-ther!”
“Tatiana is prompt and reliable. She seemed to enjoy caring for Fiona and Fiona enjoyed her attention. I wouldn’t hesitate having her take care of Fiona again .”
“Annie was wonderful with our 15-year-old retired barn kitty Grace - who is now a indoor kitty full-time. And loving it! Grace was well groomed and happy upon our return home. Annie left our house clean and neat too!”
About: I am very responsible and treat the animals as if they were my own. As an anxious pet owner myself, I know leaving them can be very hard. With me they’re in good hands. I am currently working part time 3 days a week but I live with my mom and she is retired so she fills in for me when needed to ensure that your pup is never left alone for very long :) I have a large fenced in backyard. I have experience with reactive dogs and dogs with separation anxiety. I can provide anything from walks to boarding to hang out time and have experience with giving medicine.
About: I am a Confident Animal Caretaker: dogs, cats, horses, cows, fish, lizards and more. With personal experience with all sized dogs from 10lbs to 90lbs, cats and care of horses. From animals that need snuggles and love, to basic training, and the ability to work with reactivity in dogs. Let's care for your pet your way together. As a self-employed individual, I have the ability to customize my schedule to fit your animals needs. From drop-ins and walks almost anytime to overnights for your vacation. With a position reinforcement approach I meet your pet where they are. To me that means we may sit in a room and learn to accept each other all the way to becoming besties from first sight and going on a hike. Wherever your pet is I'm here to work together to make their experience the best while you are away.
“Lauren was fantastic. We had to leave our cat Charlotte home for almost 2 wks while we went back to NY for Xmas. Lauren gave me updates regularly, made sure Charlotte got all the love and even sent a couple pics! This was our first experience with Rover and will not hesitate to come back in the future!!”
“My shy cat gave her a hard time, but Skye-Ann did an amazing job taking care of our place and doing her best to make our cat feel safe. 100% recommend.”
“She did an amazing job taking care of Lila!”
About: I've always had a dog or 2 throughout my adult lire. My last dogs were 2 labraodor mixed dogs from the local shelter that I enjoyed walking twice a day everyday of their lives. I also enjoyed taking them to go on hikes in New Mexico and Texas. I also enjoy cats but I am most comfortable with dogs. Currently I am working part-time 3 days a week - I have Wednesdays through Saturdays off so those are the days I'd prefer to schedule but could also schedule Sundays through Tuesdays if your pet can be left in a crate at my house for boarding. I very much enjoy walking dogs. I would try and see what makes your pet comfortable - if they seem like they need attention I enjoy making you pet feel comfortable.

About: Note— I return to college on the 22nd of August, and will not be available in the Gorge after that. Hi there! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve cared for animals my whole life, and grew up with two dogs (Jack and Ozzy), in addition to chickens and rabbits. Most recently, I cared for a friends two labradors for a two months. I’m quick to learn specific care routines, and I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health—your pet’s comfort and safety are always my priority. Whether your animal is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like my own. I am currently home from college for the summer, and working only sporadically from home. This means that your furry friend will be my first priority! I have a fenced yard one acre yard, and one friendly dog that is crate trained. I can easily crate your dog in my home too. If I am carrying for a dog in your home, I am available throughout the day to stop by and let the dog out, walk them, or to just hang out.
