About: Animal lover here! I take very good care of dogs of all kinds as demonstrated by my volunteer and pet sitting experience. I have volunteered at shelters with scared dogs large and small, fostered and trained shelter puppies, was a babysitter for puppy raisers with Guide Dogs for the Blind and served client families as a professional pet sitter. My role for others' fur babies is to provide care so that they have their needs met in their parents' absence. I am a great surrogate parent! I like to keep dog routines continued to minimize stress on pets and their people. For parents that don't have the time or for dogs that can use additional exercise, I can take dogs out for walks. I have also been a cat mom of 4 at once and love cats too! I have my dog, Brodie, and my routine revolves around him. I make sure he gets the memtal and physical stimulation and exercise he needs to be healthy and happy. I want to help my clients and pets with this as well for their families. I have a fenced yard and very dog-friendly set up at home. At client's homes, I respect the space and help pets feel secure in their routines with attention and care.

Pazia has been great with my dog. He looks happy in the pictures she sends over. She made sure to have water for him and give him plenty of breaks as needed. I really appreciate so much.

About: As an experienced dog sitter, I go beyond basic care by truly understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have a natural ability to read their body language and adapt to their moods, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medications, following specific dietary plans, or providing enriching playtime and walks, I tailor my approach to each dog’s routine. My calm and attentive demeanor helps even the most anxious dogs feel at ease, and I maintain clear communication with pet owners for peace of mind. Having cared for my own senior Pomeranian, Zeus, until he was 14, I am particularly attuned to the special needs of older dogs, including administering medications and adjusting routines for their comfort. I currently have an year and a half year old Yellow Labrador Retriever named cooper, so well experienced with puppies I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or just extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to be there consistently. I love getting outside for walks and making sure dogs stay mentally and physically happy while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, energy levels, and temperaments, including senior dogs and puppies. I always keep a close eye during walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment.

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 for daycare 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. Due to my variable work schedule, I cannot accommodate recurring appointments. 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!

Ruby was absolutely wonderful! She walked Duke all week and was a great communicator throughout. She kept us updated every day, was reliable, and clearly cared for him like he was her own. We felt so at ease knowing Duke was in such good hands. Highly recommend her!

About: What sets me apart is that I’m reliable, flexible, and focused on making pets feel comfortable and cared for in their own home. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to adjust my care to fit their specific needs. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels and needs, including puppies who need consistency and supervision, as well as senior pets who may require a calmer environment, extra patience, or medication reminders. I make communication a priority by providing regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured and connected to their pets at all times. I’m a flexible college student balancing classes, studying, and a part-time job. My schedule changes often, so I’ve learned how to adapt quickly and stay organized while managing school, work, and personal time. Some days are packed with assignments and shifts, while others are more open, which helps me stay balanced and avoid burnout. Even with a busy routine, I make time to stay productive, meet deadlines, and keep up with responsibilities while still having flexibility in my day-to-day life. I care for pets in a client’s home by following their usual routine to help the pet feel comfortable and reduce stress while their owner is away. This includes feeding, refreshing water, walks, playtime, cleaning up after the pet, and giving lots of attention and companionship. I also follow any specific instructions regarding medications, training, exercise, or special care needs. I respect the client’s home by keeping things clean, secure, and organized during each visit. I also provide updates and photos when requested so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats on a farm, so I have lots of experience with animals of varying ages and needs. I am consistent with medications and have experience caring for senior or ailing animals. I have a pretty free schedule save for Mondays and Tuesdays, in which I will be in Puyallup for a job! I work an on-call job Wednesday-Saturday but at this moment I am not very busy. I am always free in the evenings and early mornings. I do not offer at-home services due to owning an elderly cat, however I have experience with house sitting for families with dogs and/or cats. I will give your pet all the love and attention they wish for, but I also know when to give them space. I am also used to working with high-maintenance pets. I know all the good spots for a walk and my car is large enough to fit most animals, so I can take them for vet visits or to a park.

About: Some of my earliest memories were with my best friend, Gus. Who was a chocolate lab with floppy ears. Since Gus, I’ve been lucky enough to have a couple other best friends. We recently lost our 16 year old pug, and with that loss I have a doggie shaped hole in my heart. And what better way to fill that? I recently moved back to Olympia and am currently unemployed. I have open availability and reliable transportation! I am looking for something to fulfill me. Some may consider me a helicopter parent! I am a very observant pet sitter. My number one priority is your pets safety. I once pulled a dryer out of a wall to get my sister’s cat out of an apartment building fire, but that’s a story for another day!

Erika and Maxwell are just the best! They were so sweet to our two dogs during the meet and greet, so we knew it was going to be a great fit. Our dogs can be a lot to walk because they are big and prey driven, but Maxwell and Erika were up to the challenge. We came back home to two very tired and happy girls. So happy we found them and hope we can book more walks and sits with them in the future!

About: From a simple feed, check in and walk, to a week long house sit, I’ve had much experience taking care of all the sweet doggies out there! Having housed a few myself over the years, and a rescuer of one sweet little wiener named Bo, I will care for your best friend the best I can!! I’m a mom to three kids, and while they go to school during the day, I’d honestly love to make a little extra money to be able to support them more with their hobbies and other things they would love to do participate in to enhance their future! Taking care of pets seem like a great way to do that. I thrive on instructions for you pet(s) to ensure I can meet the needs to your little besties as well as satisfying the needs of their parents (you!)
