“Brooklyn has been fantastic! She’s been walking Hutchins for a while now, and she is always friendly, on time, and quick to reply. My fav is the little anecdotes I get for each walk 😄😄”

“Amy was very professional, and was right on time.”

“Nicholas was great with our dog! They are always on time, easily reachable, and commutative. Subie (my dog) looks forward to his walks with Nicholas and I feel stress free knowing Subie is in good hands and we have someone reliable to work with!”

“Tiffany is new to me, but so far she is exceptional! She is prompt, professional, and, most importantly, my dog Sam loves to see her arrive at our door!”

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and small animals my whole life. I’ve even fostered with rescues in the past. I recently lost my own dog and thought maybe I could cuddle someone else’s while they travel. I work from home and have a fully fenced yard which your pet would have access to at any time they like! I work from home for the Dept of Veterans Affairs and usually have the back door open for access to the fenced yard throughout the day. Outside of errands, I am typically home with them. I have a fenced yard with plenty of access for the pets. When they’re here, they’re family so if they want in the sofa: great! Sleep in bed: even better! Or if they prefer the safety of their crate, that’s good too. I want them to feel comfortable. Unless they’re from the same household, I prefer to keep one dog at a time to make sure they get undivided attention. But, if they’re social and like to play, I live super close to the dog park! If you just want drop-in visits or walks, just let me know how I can best accommodate and I’ll be happy to work something out to suit your needs.

“Lyla was awesome and was able to book on short notice! I am recovering from surgery and needed someone to give my dogs some exercise and she was just the right fit. Will definitely be booking again!!”

“Louise was wonderful. We needed some emergency dog walking help and she did an amazing job. Our puppies loved her, she was punctual, and did a great job with them. Absolutely plan to use her services again.”

“Madelyn was available in a pinch, replied quickly and has reliably shown up to give my dog Hiro a much needed walk every week when I am unable. Definitely recommend, and I'm so glad I found her when I did. :)”

About: I have over 4 years of experience pet sitting and house sitting for family, friends, and others in my community. I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals with different personalities, routines, and needs, including dogs, cats, and other household pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, medication and special routines when needed, as well as keeping pets company and giving them plenty of attention. I also have experience house sitting and understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable in their own home while keeping the house clean, safe, and cared for. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I work part-time, but I have a flexible schedule with most mornings and afternoons available, as-well as some evenings. I’m available for pet sitting and drop-in visits throughout the week, as well as weekends after 2:45 PM. I’m happy to work with owners to find a schedule that fits their pets’ routines and needs. I prioritize keeping every pet safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I’m experienced with caring for pets in their own homes. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and make sure pets receive plenty of exercise, playtime, and companionship. I treat every home and animal with respect and care!

About: I've taken care of animals professionally and personally since I was a kid. Starting with cats, then getting dogs and learning to train them. In high school I started getting into bigger and smaller pets - rats and then horses. I even have experience with caring for fish. If you've got it, I can learn how to care for it just like you would! I work at a vet ER, so I can do late night check ins for the first half of the week or almost anytime on my weekends (Thursday, Friday, Saturday). How you care for your pet is how I will care for your pet. Tell me all the nitty gritty details and I'll do everything I can to go above and beyond to make sure your animals get only the best.

About: I have been the leader of the pack since I was 12 years old. I have attended puppy training with my puppies, canine good citizen training and had a dog trained as a therapy dog in a school setting. I have volunteered at both West Columbia Gorge Humane Society and Southwest Washington Humane Society. I work part time during the week, have weekends, holidays and the summers off. My husband has days off during the week, so we may always have someone here for your pup. We have 3 friendly dogs. Your furbabies are welcome to stay with our pack or I can watch them in your home. We have a fantastic yard, with pet safe and eco friendly turf…your pets will return to you clean and tired!

“Cassandra is absolutely fantastic! She is reliable, caring, and clearly loves working with dogs. My pups always come back happy and tired from their walks. I feel completely at ease knowing my dog is in good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I'm a mom to two cats, Schneider and Stormy, and I'm just as at home with dogs. I've cared for pups of all sizes and energy levels, from leash-pullers to couch potatoes. I work freelance, so my schedule is flexible and I'm never rushing out the door. Beyond the basics (food, water, walks, meds exactly as you like them), I always set aside time to just play with your pet. Every furry cuties I get to meet feels like a little stroke of luck, and I want them to have a genuinely fun time with me. I'm also into journaling and photography. I'm a bit obsessed with catching cute pet moments on camera, so fair warning: you might get a LOT of photos. Hope you don't mind! 😉 I work freelance, so my schedule is pretty flexible on both weekdays and weekends. I'm not squeezing your pet in between other commitments, so I can show up on time, stay a bit longer, and actually hang out instead of rushing off. Just let me know what works for you! Currently I only do drop-in visits, so your pet gets to stay in their own comfy space. I'll follow your routine, and after each visit I'll log what I did and how your pet was doing: meals, potty, playtime, and their energy level. Safety-wise, doors stay locked, windows and gates get double-checked, and leashes are always on for walks. I'll keep your vet and emergency contacts handy, and if anything seems off, you'll hear from me right away.

About: I love animals and animals love me! Animals have always been a part of my life since I was a kid. I grew up with and have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, ducks, birds, a frog, horses, and a Llama! I’m comfortable with any kind of critter. I currently have 2 sweet rescue dogs, a big old cat & two teenage kitties, and a rabbit at home (she lives outdoors). They all love other animals. I am an approved Foster parent for a couple Rescues, and with the Humane Society. I live in a big house with hardwood floors on nearly 2 acres of fully fenced property that’s close-in Vancouver right off of I-5. We have 1 1/2 acres dedicated as a Sniffspot Private Dog Park called “Nature in the City Private Dog Park”. Your pup(s) will get lots of outside off-leash playtime in an enriching, securely fenced area, if they want it! Your fur babies will be loved and well cared for, and feel at home away home. ❤️ *For dog walking, I can offer much more than just a leashed walk around the neighborhood. I can pick up your pup(s) and bring them to my private fully fenced dog park and let them run, explore, and sniff off-leash! I will do this for the same dog-walking rates. 😊 I work part-time outside my home, only one mile away, and I make my own schedule. I offer daycare and overnight boarding in a home environment, and dog walking-including complementary off-leash playtime in my private 1 1/2 acre dog park! We have a peaceful, loving home environment with my two friendly dogs, 3 cats, and my 13 year old son who loves animals and is very good with them. Our animals, and yours, are family and are treated that way! Your pup(s) will get lots of love and outside time on our fenced property, (if they want it).

“Rachael was on time, very easy going and great with my dog. Xuubz really likes her too. I highly recommend Rachael for all your cat and dog needs!”

About: Ive had dogs ever since I was young. I don’t currently have pets, but my childhood dogs were a German Shepard mix and a little chihuahua. My German Shepard had so much energy and loves to stay active, so I understand what it’s like to have a very energetic dog - and love spending time with them. PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING I have a very flexible schedule due to working from home & will spend most of the day with your pup. However, I sometimes need to step out for personal errands, but I’m never gone for more than 2–3 hours at a time, and I always plan around the dogs’ needs—bathroom breaks, feeding, and general care. Please take this into consideration when booking with me. If needed I can do daily visits to see your pet in your home during the day, and go on walks, and basically play as much as your pet wants. ;)

About: Hi, I’m Carissa — a mom of four and lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve had cats and dogs since I was a kid and have trained puppies at home with potty training and basic commands like sit, stay, and come. I love all breeds and personalities — seniors, shy pups, and energetic goofballs are all welcome here! Right now I’m in the slow season of my regular job, which means I have extra time and flexibility to give your pet plenty of attention and love. I treat every animal like family and always take time to understand their unique personality. Expect lots of cuddles, encouragement, and photo updates from me! I wake up very early every day and can always care for pets before work or after work, and always on my days off. If your schedule is flexible I can do multiple visits a day as well. I treat all animals like they are my own family, and love learning each one’s personality. They will get lots of cuddles and encouragement from me :)

About: Expert Care for the Pets Who Need a Little Extra Finding a sitter is easy. Finding a qualified professional who understands struggles like reactivity, separation anxiety, complex medication schedules, and senior care is the hard part. Whether you’ve been let down by unreliable friends or feel like your pet is "too much" for a standard boarding facility, I am here to help. I provide a holistic, evidence-based approach that honors how your pet actually communicates, ensuring they stay relaxed and safe while you’re away. The "Safety-First" Process I don’t just walk through your door. We build a foundation of trust before I ever set foot in your home: Detailed Fit Assessment: A deep-dive consultation to ensure my skills align with your pet's specific needs. The Comfort Protocol: A collaborative plan so that you, your pet, and I are as comfortable as possible before the first visit. Expert Oversight: With a background in behavioral support and ongoing Pet Professionals Guild (PPG) credentialing, I provide more than a walk—I provide specialized care. Behavioral Support & Training In addition to dedicated sitting and visits, I help bridge the gap between you and your dog through compassionate, force-free interventions: Critical Puppy Socialization: Maximizing the vital first 16-week window. Reactivity: Building confidence for dogs who struggle Family Dog Safety: Education to keep both your children (or aging parents) and your pets safe and happy. Remedial Support: Building foundations for dogs of all ages. Yes, old dogs CAN learn new tricks! (and even potty train) Ready to see if we’re a fit? I maintain a smaller, dedicated client list to ensure every animal gets the attention they deserve. I am proud to offer care full-time, 7 days a week and most holidays! I do need the flexibility to feed and care for other pets during the day while house-sitting, including my own. Thank you for understanding! ❗Constant Care (0-2 hours unsupervised) is available 6am-10pm as a daytime hourly rate. I am unable to accommodate constant care overnights for new clients at this time. *LICENSED AND INSURED* We must trust each other and work together to provide the best support for your animals! I take client safety and privacy seriously. I do ask that you do the same for me while I am in your home. I have been background fingerprinted nationally for other work many times and I'm happy to provide any documentation requested.

“Emily did great for a first meeting and walk with our pup. She can be slow to warm up and Emily was patient and very honest and communicative with how the visit went. Appreciate the extra step of cleaning up a mess our kitties made that wasn’t on the bill!”
