“Tara came to our rescue when our regular sitter fell through at the last minute. We were overjoyed after the meet & greet to have someone local that clearly “gets dogs”. Plan to book with her in the future, and are so grateful for the daily updates and photos. Thanks Tara and Leo/Khali look forward to walks with you again soon!”

About: VANESSA - overnight care only EVA (Eulalia) - Walks and Drop In only Vanessa - Hello! I am an animal lover who loves spending her days with pets. I grew up being around cats and dogs. I currently own 3 cats and 3 dogs. My family takes care of them when I am away so I am able to help you with your pet care needs. I am also comfortable around chickens. My pets are a part of my family. I would treat your pets like my own. I love going on walks with dogs and teaching them new tricks. I only take 1 client at a time. I work from home Tuesdays to Fridays. So as long as I have connection to Wi-Fi, I am able to spend my day with your pets. I will respect your home and leave the space as I found it. I do require meet and greets for overnight care bookings. I am happy to help families beyond the radius I have set on rover however I do charge a gas fee of $20 + for locations more than 20 minutes from me. My work schedule is flexible. I work from home 4 days a week (tues-fri). I am able to step away when needed for walks/potty breaks. I will follow your directions and pet needs. I have a reliable vehicle to get to your home. I am happy to collect mail, packages, water plants, taking out trash and any other miscellaneous tasks. I am happy to provide status updates and pictures.

About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was 2 years old. My dog was my best friend from 2-16 yrs. I was raised on a mini farm and was lucky enough to care for horses, cows, pigs, chickens, several dogs, many cats and recently goats. Nothing brings me more happiness than being around our furry friends. Currently, we have 3 miniature poodle mixes, which we love beyond words. We recently adopted a St. Bernard/Pitbull mix. We have a big dog house 24’x12’ fully fenced to board big dogs. Medium 20 lbs to extra small dogs board/daycare inside our home. We offer an alternative to traditional boarding/daycare. Our dogs are family and guest dogs are welcomed to our family pack. Animals are my passion and bring me fulfillment and joy! Providing daycare and boarding is my profession. I worked a corporate job 35 years as a director in the health insurance field. After I was laid off I decided to not go back to the long hours and stress. Instead I dove head first into following my dream of opening a pet service business. I’ve taken my business experience and love for animals to the next level. I am excellent at following the care plan you give me. I want to take care of your pet as you would with as much love as I can give them. I understand the need for pet parents to travel or work knowing their pets are safe, exercised and loved. I offer a customized experience developed just for your dog.

“Alright... where to begin! Brian did a wonderful meet and greet with my boys (two newfoundlands) and walked them today without me..that may seem like a strange thing to say but Byron (my younger boy) refuses to go on a walk for anyone but me - not even my husband! He was perfectly fine on going on the walk with Sinjin (my older boy) and Brian. No temper tantrums, no refusal to walk. NONE of it. Brian took them on a good walk, they had fun and their were no problems.”

“Madisyn has been doing a great job walking our big rambunctious collie. She is reliable amd communicative and may have some special magic, as our cat who is normally aloof with nonfamily took to her right away and followed her to get more pets.”

“Sarah was such a pleasure to meet and did such a great job walking our dog each day!!”

About: My goal is to provide the best dog sitting service in Mason Country. Read on for how I set out to be that special caregiver for your pets. I came to pets and pet sitting “later in life,” and discovered, with great gratitude, a passion and a gift for taking care of your precious animal companions… because that is what they are, for you and for me. I’m not a casual caregiver, or a friend; I’m not walking your dog or feeding, or talking to them, as a favor to you or as a part-time job or hobby. Nor am I in a hurry to get out of your home, or to ‘fit you in’ between errands. I own my own pet sitting business and I'm going through here to get started in a new area for new clients. My total focus is your two most precious possessions: Your pets and your property…all day long, usually 7 days a week! I’m a full-time professional pet sitter, dedicated to the loving care and the details of dogs! I believe that pets should be as happy with a sitter as they are when their owners are at home (or close to it!). As one dog owner put it: “I enjoy your notes immensely. I feel like you know my dogs as well as I do after a few short days.”… The most important goals for me are providing a consistently high quality of pet care service and developing lasting relationships with Mason County pet owners. Here are just a few of the ways that I can make a quality difference in your pets’ (and your) lives: Details I’m a detail-oriented business person who knows how important it is to follow through, in a meticulous way, the instructions you give me for the daily care of your dogs as well as your home. When I mull over situations with your pets and think about how important your home is to you, I always ask myself: “What would they do if they were here? How would they want me to proceed”? If there is any question in my mind, I contact you before taking action. I document all my actions for you, in my daily text or email, so that you don’t have to wonder or worry about the quality of care your pets and your home have received while you’re gone. As one client put it: “My goal in going with a professional pet sitter was…wanting the best for our two dogs while we were away. Carrie left it “camps without a trace,” returning the house to you as you left it. To list all the tasks she does to keep things ticking while we’re gone is more work than I want, so let’s just say, hire this intelligent woman who takes pride in her business and find out the true meaning of “getting away.” High Standard I maintain Open Communication at all times. Great communication is the key to all successful relationships. I always email clients a confirmation of their pet sitting arrival and departure dates/times, so there are no missed appointments or misunderstandings. I also write detailed daily email/text describing your pets’ activities and behaviors, including any changes I notice in their eating or sleeping or other routines – in addition to all their fun and funny ‘adventures’ when you’re gone! The level of communication I provide you, before you go and while you’re away, is an important part of my pet sitting service, demonstrating the observation skills and the focus I bring as caregiver for your pets and home! It's my main career to take care of your pets on a daily basis. So I have all the time in the world to spend time with them. I will be caring for your pet (s) in their own home where they are more comfortable than being in a boarding place. Have a wonderful day. Hope to hear from you soon

About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life. I feel so happy to be around them always. This is very special and heartfelt for me to care for them as often as I can. I work from home full time.

“Alisha has a real connection with all animals. Our dog Moxie loves her! Alisha followed my instructions and gave me regular updates, including pics. I felt that all our animals (dog, cat and horses) were in good hands with her. I will definitely use Alisha again in the future!”

About: I've been the go to carer for all kinds of pets (dogs, cats, senior animals.) for my family and friends since I was a teenager. I find that I have a calming presence that puts them at ease. I have some experience with training, mostly with previous pets. I'm currently in school and working part time. I have Friday, Saturdays and Sundays free. And Thursday afternoons free. If things go well here, I hope to have Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons free too. I have a fenced yard with lots of room to play and lots of toys. I no longer have pets of my own, so any animal under my care will get my full attention.

About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience! I grew up with multiple dogs and have spent years walking and caring for pets, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with different routines, energy levels, and personalities—and I always make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. Mondays–Wednesdays are my off days and my most flexible time. I work Thursday–Sunday afternoons starting around 2, and my mornings are usually reserved for staying active—walks, workouts, or anything that gets me moving. I don’t have pets currently, but I’ve grown up caring for family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with most breeds, prioritizing calm, safe, attentive care.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12. I love walking, washing and caring for animals more than ever. It warms my heart to see them loved and happy. I am currently working a full time position but it is not an everyday job so I am hoping to fit some time in to do something I love well making some extra money on the side! With a place in my heart for animals comes with being alert to everyone and everything around when taking care of animals and pets. When walking animals I make sure to stay away from other pets or people if your pet is not comfortable with being around others. When grooming I make sure to be gentle and patient with the pet/pets. When staying in the home I make sure that they are well loved and get the attention and care they need.

About: I have 3 dogs of my own; my old man toy poodle Chai, big baby Baxter, and sweet lil mama Maisie! All of them are non aggressive, and love new friends. My husband is military, so as we travel, I have worked on rescuing and rehabilitating animals in need. I’ve been doing kennel boarding/daycare for some time now, but am looking to specialize in giving individualized love, care, and attention to each of my fuzzy friends! When caring for your pets, I treat them how I would my own fur babies! I have experience in a wide range of animals, energy level, personality, and emergency situations. I offer socialization training with my own babies, so they can have amazing friends to play with! I am working towards an animal CPR & FA certification, as well as taking courses to become a certified dog trainer. I’m currently working from home, so I have plenty of time for taking care of your fur babies! I do regular potty breaks every 2 hours with scheduled activities throughout the day. All my kiddos are friendly and loving towards every new friend they meet! Your baby will be accepted as one of family in a well structured environment. Depending on every pups personal preference, I do slow distanced introductions and eventually close the gap till everyone is comfortable. Once introduced as friends, we can do all activities as a group!

“James shows up timely and sends thoughtful Rover cards with detailed notes and pictures. He's a great communicator and well organized. He is observant and pays attention to my dog's behavior and mood to always make sure my pup is happy and healthy. I definitely recommend hiring James!”
