“Jean was so wonderful to our 2 kitties while we were traveling! She was very professional and caring with our pets and sent pictures every time she visited! I would highly recommend her services!”

I work full time from home and can accommodate most schedules with advance notice. Open schedule Monday - Friday before 10am and after 4pm. Can do weekends with advance notice. I can take care of your fur babies in your home. I follow instructions thoroughly and can keep your pets entertained. When walking dogs, I maintain focus and stay aware of our surroundings.
“Emerson is INCREDIBLE! Our pups can be particular and she took the time to get to know them and their unique personalities! She is patient and truly cares about the pups. We will most definitely book her again!”

About: I’ve had pets since I was in kindergarten. I’ve had the most experience with dogs! I love every breed and believe that every dog deserves the best care possible. My boyfriend is an animal lover as well. He has also had the most experience with dogs! We have two cats. I also have experience in animal husbandry. Between my boyfriend and I, someone is always home. We have one dog of our own, a cat of our own, and our roommate has a dog. The pets needs are always our priority. I have a fully fenced in backyard and two other dogs to keep your baby company! We have two crates if your dog is crate-trained. Our house is two stories, allowing plenty of space for playing.

About: I’ve caring for all sorts of animals since I was a little girl. I grew up caring for rabbits, gerbils, birds, lizards, cats and dogs. My family friend had a pitbull dog sanctuary, saving so many dogs from euthanasia. Growing up in an environment where every animal life is important, gives me the insane amount of love I have for all animals. I have volunteer experience at the Whatcom Humane Society located the Seattle area. I also have taken care of many different breeds of cats and dogs, knowing each has particularly personalities and require different things. I have had very timid and social cats, as well as seriously hyper or very mellow dogs. Exercise is really important to me when it comes to animals that need it. I can and will do everything I can to make sure your pet gets the exercise it wants and needs, as well as playing and getting the love and nurture all animals deserve regardless of look and size. Our fur babies are more than pets, they are family! I work from 4am - 9am everyday except Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am also a student, so it depends on who books first and what times they have booked for the day. My two cats thankfully get along well now, but for about 7 months I had to keep them separate and stayed committed to a slow introduction for safety and for the best possibility for bonding. I have patience and I can and will take all safety precautions necessary (as instructed).
About: I've taken care of dogs from a variety of sizes and breeds since age 10. My family has owned more than 5 dogs that I've supported through their entire lives including disabled dogs. I've recently began cat sitting and love all furry friends! My house is spacious with just my partner and myself with a non-fenced but decent sized yard. I also work remote and am 100% available to support your pet during any stays! I work remote from my house as a software engineer and generally have open availability for dog walks, house visits and potty breaks. My boarding is perfect for those that need extra attention or a friend nearby! I have a non-fenced yard and a tranquil house with two humans (myself and my partner). We have plenty of dog toys as we pet sit our family's dog nearby and have leashes. We offer regular exercise, play time or cuddles when they need it. Also willing to distribute prescribed medications and follow any instructions regarding disabilities.
“Sophia did an amazing job following my instructions and taking care of my pets (ferrets and cats) when we were gone for the weekend. She has been easy to reach and left detailed report cards after each visit.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid and have recently started to work with cats. I miss walking my dogs from home and would love to help take care of yours I’m currently a student, so although I have many classes during weekdays I have breaks in between as well as Friday through Sundays free. I always make time for my own walks and workouts but I’d love to do it with an animal! My medium sized dog uses a harness on his walks, but I have worked with all kinds of leashes before. We had our yard fenced in for play time but I have worked with dogs in parks and ungated areas.
“Moriah is caring, communicative, and dependable . She sends updates via text, sends the cutest pictures, and I live her video snippets. Being away for 12 hour shifts can be stressful and worrisome. Knowing Moriah is there to care for my boy helps alleviate that. I trust that he is in safe, capable hands. Thank you, Moriah for being there for Hershel.”


About: Ever since I was little, I have taken care of both young and senior animals, dogs and cats. I share love all the same no matter the size, age, or breed. I work full time, 9am-5pm on Monday and Tuesday, then 8am-4pm on Wednesday, friday, and Sunday. I am open to leaving work on my break, which can be taken at any time to feed, play, or let your animals outside. I will utilize the environment in which your pets are in to ensure they have the best and safest time possible, whether that's playing in the yard, walking your furry friends, or just lounging inside.
About: I grew up with a Shih Tzu and two cats and eventually grew to have several rabbits as part of 4H. Now in my own home, I have a German Shepherd, a Dutch Shepherd, four cats, and a leopard gecko. My GSD, Gaara, I raised from 15 weeks, and my Dutch, Luka, I've raised from 8 weeks. They are very active boys and I love catering to their high energy life. I am confident around dogs of any size and cats of any personality. You need your reptile fed? No problem. I am here to support your animals needs and well-being. Animal care is my day-to-day. My work schedule is flexible so I am able to pop over for lunch-time let outs or early morning walks. I am in-office daily until around 11/12 and then I am remote until 3:30/4. I am happy to walk your pup when needed, play in the yard, or do some scent work around the house. I am comfortable crating, as I did with both of my dogs. Any dietary needs or regular feeding schedule, I will follow to a T. Just tell me your needs and I'll make sure they're met.
“Erica was great! We only needed her for two drop in visits since we were out of the home for about 13 hours. She came over a few days before to meet out r pups and see how to take of Bowie (he recently tore his ACL). She sent pictures and wrote report cards for both of her visits. We’ll definitely have her hang out with the kids again ?”
“Courtney is such a delight. She texted after booking and arranged a time to meet in person. I was able to introduce her to the dogs and show how to Bingo takes his pills. She texted an update with 3 pictures at every visit. I had her visit twice a day at specified time frames. I looked forward to her texts and was relieved and put at ease with each picture sent. I didn’t have to wonder if the dogs got fed while away. She checked on Bingo’s ear for me when requested and sent pic of his ear to help reassure me his infection hadn’t returned. She charmed my bossy, beautiful, bratty Yorkie!! I will NEVER kennel my dogs again. I strongly recommend Courtney!! I just hope she doesn’t get too popular that she is hard for me to book again. Thanks Courtney!!”

“Tia was wonderful. She was able to come over and meet our pooch with not many days notice, and he was very comfortable with her. He’s an anxious guy, too, so that’s saying something! She was on time for the drop in, provided great care, and gave a detailed update. We will definitely book with her again.”

We were gone out of the country and left a girls (3 labrador retrievers) with someone for the first time in Iowa. Our girls loved Michelle. She sent pictures and updates every time she stoped by. She answered any questions we had while we were gone...just fantastic. I was afraid of leaving our girls to anyone but she made it so I could be willing to trust again.

Aidan has been great to work with so far! He is helping us as a drop-in sitter on days I have to be in the office and our pup, Bonnie, has had so much fun with him. Quick to respond, great availability, and very understanding of my pup’s quirks as she’s still got a lot of puppy in her!
