“Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our anxious boy. Azure has a true heart for animals, especially the ones who need a little extra love. Can’t wait to have her watch our pup again. 💜”
“Autumn was great at the meet and greet. She gave us updates, the dogs loved her and her pup Darla , and she left the house in perfect condition.”
“Bailey was very attentive and our pets seemed very well cared for. Our house was immaculate - garbage out, mail picked up! She communicated often but not too much while we were on vacation - a quick text and photo each day, which we really appreciated! We recommend Bailey!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog overnight. I cannot recommend Camille enough. She made it so safe and comfortable for myself and my doggy. She sent pics and updates everyday. I loved all the great pics of all the adventures she took Trekker on. Also the house was in perfect order. I will definitely ask her again in the future”
About: Ive lived with and taken care of dogs for most of my life, whether it be my larger dogs that need someone able to burn off their energy, to more relaxed dogs i've taken care of for friends, family, and neighbors. No time spent with a dog is ever a waste of my time! Im currently a student at Western Washington University, however I have very open afternoons, evenings, and full-day weekends to fill whatever your dog may need Im comfortable and capable at handling any of your dogs needs, from stimulation and entertainment, to ensuring they're safe, healthy, and not getting into any mischief.
“Madison did a great job house sitting and pet sitting for Simon. I was gone in a trip for 5 days. The place was clean and she went above and beyond with pet updates and had rapid response times. I definitely will use her for any future trips. I highly recommend that you use her for your pet/house sitting.”
“Stone is the best. She has an obvious love for animals and is extremely responsive. Our dog and kitty clearly were well taken care of and the house was just as we had left it after 5 days away. Highly recommend her, and we will definitely book her again! Thanks again Stone!”
“Jeff was the best petsitter we have had - he stepped in right away when I was in a schedule pinch, he followed directions to a T, he kept in contact to let us know everyone was doing well, he shared how much he enjoyed the doggos, and when we arrived home the house was immaculate, smelled nice, and the dogs were relaxed and happy. I didn't get to meet him in person beforehand, and he is definitely someone you can trust if you have to do the same.”
About: For five years I’ve helped out friend and family members with their pet care needs. I’m ready to help you with yours! Animals deserve love and care, I’m happy to help be a part of that! I’m a student attending college Monday through Friday, my availability for animal care fills out my weekend! I’d be more than happy to take care of your animal while you enjoy a weekend away! I do not have animals in my own home as I share an apartment with my college roommates. I don’t think this description will show up as I do not have this service enabled.
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages—everything from newborn puppies and kittens to sweet senior pets. I'm comfortable with puppy training basics like potty breaks, crate training, and building a routine, and I know how to support older pets with a calm and patient approach. I also love staying active, so I enjoy taking dogs on long walks or hikes to keep them happy and healthy. I offer house sitting too, making sure your pets feel safe and loved, and your home is treated with respect while you're away. As an online student, I have a flexible schedule that lets me balance my studies with pet care. I can easily accommodate regular walks, feeding times, or house sitting, ensuring your pets receive the attention they deserve :) When I care for pets in your home, safety and comfort come first. I make sure to follow any routines or specific instructions you’ve provided, so your pets feel relaxed and secure. I always ensure the environment is safe, clean, and pet-friendly. Most importantly, I give your pets the attention they need, keeping them happy and comfortable while you're away. You can trust that I’ll treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I’d give my own.

About: I have a few years of experience in the pet care realm. I have been entrusted by many a family member / friend to watch their pets. I have also worked at a boarding facility for cats and dogs, as well as a dog daycare. I was tasked with cleaning kennels, walking dogs, monitoring the play yard, and administering food and meds. I am off work by 11 am most days, so my availability is very generous. I also have a reliable vehicle and will be accepting of last minute bookings. I can offer services only at the client’s home, not my own. I am very tidy and respectful of the environment around me. I will make sure the pet is comfortable and cared for in their home.
About: I have been a dog owner for six years and a volunteer at Whatcom Humane Society for nine months. I’ve learned valuable skills at WHS and gone through lots of training to learn animal behavior and body language. I have experience working with both cats and dogs of all ages including kittens, puppies, and seniors. I’m consistently working with animals who have behavioral issues such as overstimulation, petting aggression, and severe fearfulness. I have cared for so many different personalities and I will adapt to what your pet needs. I’m a full time student at WCC, so I’m available after 4:00pm during the week and all day during the weekends. I might be able to provide care at different times depending on the day, and will likely be able to check in with your pet every few hours. Feel free to message me about specific days! From 6/21 to 9/21 my schedule will be much more flexible. I can keep your pet company for just a few hours, or stay overnight. I will read every instruction given and do my best to uphold their routine, giving you lots of updates and pictures. If possible I would love to meet you and your pet before the stay to make sure it’s a good fit.
“Hugo was great with our dogs while we were away for a week in France! Very communicative and sent lots of pictures. We felt like our dogs were in good hands and we could relax.”
