“This was her second time taking care of my boys for a long period of time and I felt at peace all my trip. Great communication, reassuring daily notes and cute pictures of them. Everything at home was in order and clean, and my cats seemed so relaxed and happy. She's a fantastic catsitter. Thank you so much Vanessa!”

“Kearstin was amazing and helped us out last minute with cat sitting for our cat. She was responsive, reliable, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and the care she gave our cat. Everything went smoothly, and we would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

About: 🐾 ABOUT ME I am deeply fond of all animals and believe that each one deserves kindness and respect. I love learning from each pet what their specific needs are. I find that in a Meet and Greet or during the first walk are the best times for me to get to know their unique personality and attune my behavior to what makes them feel most at ease. 🦮 EXPERIENCE I have experience walking and pet sitting medium and small dogs who range in energy and anxiety levels. I’ve been regularly taking care of and walking my sister’s two dogs for almost a decade. I’m definitely the favorite Auntie! The safety and comfort of dogs in my care is the most important thing to me. I am good at matching their excitement level while maintaining control of the leash, attention to our surroundings, and giving them clear direction. 📆 FLEXIBILITY I have a cat myself, which makes my schedule very flexible for coming to visit with your dog. I can provide them with regular friendly, playful, and steady interactions to keep them happy until their favorite human returns again. I have a very flexible schedule and am available for dog walks and drop-in visits every day from 6am - 9pm with the following exceptions: Tuesdays I am only available in the morning until 10am, Mondays I am unavailable between 3pm and 6pm. When I am in your home I recognize that this is the territory of your pet. They need to feel comfortable performing their daily routine. Especially during the first few visits, I will be extra careful to move and speak with gentleness so that your pet feels safe. I always perform a wellness check when I arrive, making sure your fur baby hasn’t gotten into areas it shouldn’t like food/cupboards/trash. I also check your pet for signs of distress that I should alert you to.

“Genevieve was awesome she was able to help me out last minute and was so sweet towards my cats. She provided cuddles, cleaned up messes, and excellent pet cat services. I will definitely recommend her!!”

“Ashlee is amazing!! Went above and beyond. My dog absolutely loved her and she took great care of him! She provided the best updates everyday. Definitely will book again!”

Anita H.

“Josue sent photos and updates for the drop in and took great care of my dogs! He was thoughtful and very easy to work with!”

Sarah L.

“Sky was the most communicative and caring pet caregiver I’ve ever hired. He consistently sent detailed messages about how my cats were doing, and took care of them according to their special needs. I was really grateful to have found someone who truly cares for animals and is so considerate and responsible. I would absolutely book with him again.”

Lauren S.

“Sherri was such a blessing to have for our senior pup. He warmed up to her right away and enjoyed her company through a week of check-ins. We could not be happier in our choice to have Sherri as our sitter and would have her again in a moments notice. She was prompt, professional, easy to work with, and most importantly she loved on our dog like he was her own. Cannot say enough good things about her!”

Jacqueline V.

“Kevin was an amazing petsitter again! He was again very easy to coordinate + communicate with! This sit included multiple hours of cat sitting and administering insulin injections into my diabetic cat. He also handled all litterboxes, taking out the trash multiple times, wet food that required instructions, probiotics, and other medications for two cats. He provided nice writeups after each sit and worked around my travel schedule. Would recommend him to others in the area!”

About: I’m highly experienced in caring for a wide variety of dogs, including elderly bernese mountain dogs, anxious english bulldogs, territorial pomeranian puppies, cuddly golden retrievers, playful pitbull mixes, and more! I’m an expert at customizing my care around the personality of your canines. If a dog is anxious and shy, I’ll take them on a less busy route for our walk and watch their comfort level closely. If your pet is energetic and doesn’t get along well with others, I’ll avoid other animals when we’re out and give them lots of playtime! If your dog just needs cuddles on the couch and someone to administer their medicine, I’m more than happy to do that as well. I’ve taken care of multi-dog households many times, and it’s always a pleasure. I'm currently unemployed and have a wide-open schedule. I'm available for whatever you need, seven days a week. I can stay at your house for the day or overnight if you prefer. I'm also available for multiple drop-in visits throughout the day. I follow the rules of the home I'm visiting. Whether you prefer shoes on or shoes off, I'll respect your preference! I also stay in communication with pet owners. I'll keep you updated on your animal's well-being and be alert for signs of concerning behaviors or health problems. I always pay attention to each animal's specific communication style and respect their needs. I speak in a quiet and comforting tone of voice to keep pets calm and make them feel as safe as possible.

About: I’ve had dogs small and large since I was 12. From Chihuahuas to a German Shepherd. I have experience taking care of and walking dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’d love to take your dog or dog(s) for a lovely walk or drop by to check in on them while you’re out for the day. I currently work from home and have the company of my two dogs, Sol (a very dog friendly terrier mix rescue) and King (a sweet pitbull brindle mix rescue). With summer coming to a close I can walk dogs at mostly anytime of the day. I currently do not offer in home doggy day care or boarding, but can work with you for drop ins. I work from home most days with a flexible schedule so I can make mostly any time work for a drop in!

About: I have worked with over 100 dogs during the course of my career so far. Most of my dog handling experience comes from working at a doggy daycare after I graduated high school. This experience gave me a lot of skills including handling multiple dogs at once, keeping track of meals and medication, and recognizing dog behavior in a variety of different breeds. This job gave me so many opportunities to bond with dogs of all sizes as if they were my own, give them exercise, and time to play with other dogs. Although, I learned to become good at handling a large group of dogs at once I prefer to work with smaller groups. It gives me more time to bond one on one with animals and allows me to better understand their individual needs (including lots of scratches and belly rubs). Working at a dog daycare has not been my only dog related experience. I have house and dog sat for multiple families a few summers in a row now. I enjoy providing an extra support system to dogs when their loved ones leave and giving them the love and attention they deserve. On top of these other experiences I have also grown up with dogs my entire life and in my late teens my Dad started fostering dogs for an agency. I really enjoyed taking care of these dogs and helping provide them with a good safe home until they were adopted. Every dog that has been a part of my life has provided so much joy and as I can't currently have a pet of my own I would love to be extended family to your dog. I'm currently a student at Western Washington University home for the summer. I don't have any other job as of now and will be able to provide full attention, walks, on-time feedings, etc. for your precious pet. I will be taking a few online credit hours for college over the summer, this does not take much time and I will be home to make sure all of your pets needs have been met. Whenever I house sit I usually fall into a routine that revolves around what the pet is used to, like their walk and feeding schedule. Although, I may have short outings and activities throughout the summer on the day I am booked for, my calendar should be up to date with the days that I am not available. I am very responsible when it comes to taking care of animals and organized. Safety is very important to me and I have had experiences working at the doggy daycare stopping dogs from eating unsafe things or safely separating dogs that were showing aggression towards each other. Although I don't expect any of these things to happen to your pet while they are in my care, it is better to be safe than sorry. I am also good with being on time to everything and this translates to making sure that pets are given their food on time (if they have a specific schedule). Your pet will be very safe and very loved during my time staying with them.

“We've used Jeffrey several times now as our dog sitter and couldn't be happier. I appreciate that Jeffrey likes to have as much information as possible about our dogs in order to take the absolute best care of them that he can. Give Jeffrey a try if you're needing a sitter, you won't be sorry!”

“I’m new to Rover and i’m super happy I chose Victoria to take care of our kitty during a 10-day trip! She is very communicative, notably loves animals, and she is super proactive as well :)) we will definitely re-book with Victoria when we get the chance.”

Ivana R.

“So grateful for Janice! Our cats are old and haven't been alone since before Covid, so it was wonderful to have someone consistent and kind pop in on them while we were gone. Detailed updates and pictures after each visit, great communication. Will definitely reach out to her again when we need someone.”

About: I've had years of experience taking care of my own pets and also worked as a pet groomer for many years. I've had many animals throughout my life dogs, cats, ferrets, tortoises you name it. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule during the week and my weekends are wide open to spend time with your pets or have them over at my house. I have a fenced backyard and two dogs of my own that love to run and play with other dogs. While your pet is with me they are part of our family.

“Marlene did a great job with my Chica daddy's Princess. I appreciate her professionalism and communication. I will ask for her help again when something comes up.”
