About: With over a decade of experience as a trusted dog sitter, I have had the privilege of caring for countless furry companions, including those belonging to neighbors, friends, and coworkers. From goofy poodles (like my own) to energetic vizsla's, I've had the pleasure of nurturing a diverse range of breeds and personalities. My commitment to building strong relationships with both pets and their owners has led to countless referrals and repeat clients, solidifying my reputation as a go-to sitter in the area. As a super chill yet responsible sitter, I prioritize safety, communication to the owner, and fun-filled adventures for your beloved pet. With me, you can rest assured that your furry family member will receive top-notch care and plenty of love while you're away. I have a work schedule that gives me flexibility Thursdays and Fridays so I’m able to provide services for up to 4 days at a time :) I don’t have a pet friendly rental home so I prefer to care for pets at the clients home. This is what I’ve normally done for friends and family over the years. Plus pets seem more comfy in their own homes!

“Rachel was such an amazing dog and house sitter. She messaged when she arrived and departed, along with sending pictures and updates on how my fur-babies were doing. I felt at peace knowing my babies were being taken care of. I highly recommend Rachel for any of your pets needs.”


“Maycee was great! She was very responsive to requests, and Dublin seemed very happy while we were gone. It is wonderful to feel like your pup is in good hands while you are gone, thanks Maycee!”


“Ashley took time to get to know my dog and was more than accommodating to my meet my schedule. She stayed at my place and cared for my pet with love and much care.”


“Carter was amazing! He kept us updated while we were gone, sent us pictures of our baby. He took great care of Finn, our house and all my plants while we were away. I would 100% use his services again and recommend him to anyone who needs a house sitter, pet sitter, dog walker, he left our house in great condition, honestly cleaner than when we left. Thank you Carter for taking care of our 115lb fur baby!”


“Ha'ani and Jacob provide excellent care for our 2 dogs and took great care of our house as well. They are both very comfortable with bigger dogs with lots of energy. They spent lots of time playing with them in the yard and treated our pets like their own. They also gave us many updates and photos. Leaving our dogs with them gave us peace of mind and our dogs absolutely loved them! Thank you Ha'ani and Jacob!!!”


“Chelsie was very patient with our elderly dog Flux who takes time to warm up to folks. She stayed two night and left our home untouched. She even washed and dried the linens she used. We love the updates she sent us while we were always missing our 3 boys. Will book again. Thank you.”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 and have experience with all different kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Currently my family owns two huskies, a German Shepherd/Border Collie Mix, and a German Shepherd/Pit Mix! Beyond my own pups, I regularly dog sit for six amazing families and truly treat each pet like they’re part of my own pack. I’ve also had the joy of caring for horses, cows, goats, and chickens, so I’m very comfortable around all types of animals and their unique needs. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for! I’m starting a fully online master’s program in social work, which means I’ll have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a clients home, my top priority is making sure that your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved in their own space. I follow your care instructions closely and do my best to keep their daily routine consistent to reduce stress. I also respect your home as if it was my own- cleaning up after myself (and your pet!), keeping things tidy and making sure your pets feels at easy while you’re gone. I always send regular updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing and have peace of mind.

About: Hello, my names Ailyn! I have experience caring for big and small breed pets. I also have experience w special needs, keeping track of medications/health requirements, etc.. A small bit about me - We just moved back to WA, after being stationed in MCAS Yuma for 4 years. I am a stay at home mom to our 1.5 yr old. We currently live in a home with 3 other dogs( all friendly!) with a fenced in yard, we reside in the side studio that has its own personal yard so your furry friend can be comfortable and have some alone space. We also have a Husky/Malamute mix named Yogi, who is incredibly friendly with all dogs and people alike. I currently pet sit for friends and family, so I figured I’d extend our services to others who may need, as I know quality pet care is difficult to find. Please reach out with any further questions. I currently stay home, but do occasionally leave for periods of time during the day. We live in a family owned home that is very pet friendly, so we don’t have to worry about any accidents or lack of space for your pet! I understand that every dog is different and requires different treatment. I don’t mind keeping my husky separate if need be, and slowly introducing our new environment for the trust of your pet. Dogs and cats are okay, as long as they’re kennel trained and potty trained!

“Leah was amazing! I got so many pictures & updated and our dog seemed to be living her best life with Leah. Leah also came back and let our dog out once more when I told her our flight was delayed and she kept checking in to make sure we were home. Would absolutely book again & recommend her to others!”


About: I've taken care of different dogs and cats all my life and always have done well with any animal I meet. They will be taken care of like they are my own, and their happiness and care comes first. I currently take care of my grandmother during the day, as such, early afternoons and evenings I'm available to look in on / walk/ feed your pets. I give any new animal I meet time to get comfortable with me before trying to interact, especially if requested by owners or if they tend to be nervous around new people. I'm always gentle, but can be firm with the animal as need be.

“Toni was beyond amazing! She gave our dogs so much love and kept them company when we were gone. So much so that when we got home they were excited to see us for 15 minutes then slept the rest of the day! I am forever grateful for her and her family even more so for caring for my one pupper who had a health episode when in her care. They handed everything amazing and took amazing care of him. I would love to book her again!”


“Amanda is a WONDERFUL pet sitter!!! Her calm, kind, and caring demeanor brought our kitty Hazel out of her shell. Amanda sent us photos from every visit and we could see that Hazel was happy and thriving. Amanda's professionalism, reliability, excellent communication and attention to detail gave us peace of mind while we were away.”
