“My dogs loves Murron! She has walked my giant and mini schnauzer a couple of times throughout the week and I will continue to rebook her service. Murron will ACTUALLY walk your dog for at least 30 minutes sometimes more! She doesn’t check in with the walk until she is actually outside with my dogs. I have experienced so many sitters checking in when they are still in their car or sitting in their car for a few minutes to end the walk. Murron is honest and dependable. She also treats and talks to my dogs very sweetly.”


“So glad we found Bridget. Our younger dog has had anxiety about walks beyond our property because he has a high sensitivity to loud noises and today Bridget was able to get him out on a good long walk. Bridget is experienced, has years of experience and my dogs both love her.”


“Samantha is an excellent dogwalker. She’s very knowledgeable about dogs and takes great care of mine. I can rest easily knowing that they’re in good hands. She’s also a very kind person.”


“Ari is awesome!! Great communication and pics. Supportive of special instructions and working with behavior challenges of my reactive pittie. I am sure she had a total blast with Ari. Top notch recommendation for your pet sitting needs!”


About: 【Pet Care Experience】 I care for every animal as if they were my own and always strive to make them feel safe, seen, and loved. I was actively involved in an animal protection society for 3 years, where I helped rescue and foster sick or abused cats and dogs. In August 2022, my friends and I discovered 42 abandoned breeding cats in a closed pet store in Guangzhou—we organized their rescue and successfully found homes for them. I personally fostered and rehomed 5 cats and 2 dogs. Currently, I volunteer at a local shelter 1–3 shifts a week, helping with dog walking, kennel cleaning, and matching pets with potential adopters. My experiences have allowed me to work closely with animals of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. ———————————————— 【Schedule】 Available for drop-in visits: 5:30 AM – 9:30PM Before booking, we’ll set up a meet & greet so I can better understand your pets and ensure a smooth handoff. ———————————————— 【Safety, Trust & Environment 】 Meet and greet is always free! While I don’t offer pet sitting in my own home, I’m fully committed to meeting your pet’s needs in their familiar environment. Whether they require crate time, one-on-one companionship, hand feeding, or special care, I’m prepared to handle almost any situation with patience and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and notes, so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. ————————————————

About: I've been a pet lover since I was a kid. I started with frogs, lizards and snakes, and graduated to cats and dogs. Until I was able to have dogs of my own, I spent over 10 years pet-sitting for friends and family, volunteering in animal shelters, and have even worked in 2 seperate doggy daycares. My MO is always long walks and lots of attention. I have 2 dogs of my own, a cumulative 17 years of pet raising experience. I have experience caring for sick pets and administering medication both orally and subcutaneously. I've had my pups since they were young and would consider them very well trained. If you're looking to work on certain behaviors, I can absolutely work on that during their stay. I have a fenced yard, a safe neighborhood for long walks, and for longer stays, expect your dog to enjoy a nice hike! I mostly work from home, so your dog(s) would never be alone and would have access to my fully fenced backyard whenever they want. During the week, I can do a long walk during my lunch break, and another after work. Weekends I tend to go hiking, so if your pup enjoys nature, they will for sure have a great time. My yard is fully fenced, and I have 2 friendly dogs. Safety is paramount, so dogs would be supervised while in the yard together. If your dog requires a crate, I have both a plastic and soft sided kennel for indoors.

About: I have a deep well of patience, understanding and affection for your pet. When I am interacting with a dog or cat, they recieve my sole and loving attention. I can't wait to meet yours! I am a retired teacher so I have a lot of management skills and am supremely responsible. I am a retired teacher so I have a ton of time. I am moving from managing teen agers to having loving interactions with pets. I am a single woman in my 50's with no pets of my own, so I am very available to care for your animals. Since I have been back in the USA after teaching overseas for years, I have taken care of and house sat for many people who were pleased with my services. I would love to get to know your animals and make them feel safe and secure while you are gone!

“She did an amazing job with our dog! Often went above and beyond (staying longer than required, dealing with an excited, jumping puppy) and was amazing at communication, updates, and pictures. Definitely better pictures than I'm ever able to get of my dog. Highly recommend!”


“Maycee has sat for us twice now and takes great care of our large shepherd mix. Grateful for her attention to detail and punctuality! Veda always seems happy and relaxed after a visit with Maycee.”


“Paige has been awesome. Very dependable and our Basset, Maddie loves her walks with Paige. I booked a couple of days to start while my wife was hospitalized and I was spending long hours there. I have now booked a second week, two walks a day because Paige has proven to be excellent!”

“I LOVE Helena! I'm new to the area and needed a last minute dog walker. She did a quick meet and greet that day and then was available for the next day. I got tons of pictures and updates and knew my pups were in great hands! Will definitely use her again!”


“Ashley was great! She came over for an initial walk to meet our pup while we were home, at our request, before starting weekly walks during the work day. She responded very promptly and was polite and flexible. Our dog was very happy after the walk and we are very excited to keep working with Ashley.”


About: * summer is here and I still have a few openings left so book asap! Also... I know it seems too early and sunny to think about the holidays, but I usually book up months in advance so reach out, even if you don't have exact travel plans, but know you'll need pet care. I currently have Labor Day already booked, but mid November - New Years is pretty much open, except one booking in Dec. Check my updated calendar. My dog care experience spans all ages and breeds. I know puppies are more work, but I enjoy working with them on leash and obedience training to maintain good habits while their people are away. I have experience with giving daily medications and have cared for senior dogs, one who needed daily blood sugar testing and insulin shots. I live mobile between pet sitting gigs staying with friends and family from Marysville to Olympia. I started pet sitting for clients when I was house cleaning during the time I was in grad school. Because I was already working in their homes and had biweekly interactions with their pets, it was an easy transition to pet care. It was also during this time that a couple of professors inquired about pet sitting. I was a backup for one of thier regular sitters and the other, I'm still their regular sitter 7+ years later. I care for your pets the same way you would. They like to sleep in the bed with me? Cool. They need extra outside play time or walks to keep their anxiety low because you're gone? Done. I am very intuitive to reading their energy and do everything I can to meet their needs. Do you have some anxiety about being away and want pictures daily? Got it covered. My experience with house cleaning also menas I take care of the spaces I am staying so I am happy to water house plants and take care of gardens if needed.

About: I have taken care of all types of dogs since I could remember! I’ve never known life without a furry companion by my side and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am a nurse by day trying to cure my burnout by caring for your furry friends! I am an excellent communicator and I will keep you informed every step of the day. I just moved to the area with my two Australian Shepards and a cat. My schedule is completely open right now and I’d love to take your furry friend on an adventure while we explore our new neighborhood! I have a fenced in backyard that backs up to nature trails. We have pet cameras so we can always keep a watchful eye on the animals and we love walking around and exploring new areas! I can really provide whatever environment your dog/cat will do best in!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been part of our family. I’ve had experience caring for family pets, dog sitting for friends, and cat sitting for my professors. Getting a dog as an adult has completely changed the game for me and I’ve gone full-blown dog mom mode. This has allowed me to become very attentive to specific needs and expectations for pets and their owners! I am recently graduated and looking for something to occupy my time while I job hunt! Since I’m actively job searching, my schedule is pretty flexible. I am available most weekdays between 10am-7pm and occasionally weekends :) My priority is to make your pets as comfortable as possible while you’re away and ensure that their needs are being met. No request is too specific! As a dog mom, I know we follow specific rituals, schedules, or feeding requests to keep our pets comfy :) I am always willing to accommodate to them, just let me know!
