Dog Walking Stanwood

About: I have been petsitting for as long as I can remember. I have watched dogs, cats, and lots of different exotic pets. I especially love sitting for rodents! I will happily trim/grind nails if requested. I currently work full-time at a vet clinic, but I can stop by the houses on my lunch break or before/after work. I always check on pets at least three times a day. I can easily crate pets if needed, I always make sure water dishes are full and pets are let outside to go to the bathroom before I leave.

“Carrie is wonderful! She took Astrid and Penny for daily walks while they stayed with my parents for a week. She was prompt, kind, and easy to work with. The pups loved her. We would definitely reach out if we need help again. I would highly recommend her!”

“Camille was willing to do a meet and greet before our first booking and was great! She was professional, on time, and very easy to talk to. She is quick to respond to messages/requests and communicated on the day of the scheduled booking. My dog absolutely loves her and we will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: My whole life I have always had at least one dog or cat to take care of. In high school, I volunteered at an animal shelter walking dogs where it was my priority to keep them safe while getting all that energy out! I started pet sitting and house sitting for friends and family after high school. I have done obedience and potty training with puppies. I am familiar with administering oral medicines to dogs and cats. My cat has asthma, so I am also comfortable administering an inhaler. I am a student doing online classes, so my schedule is super flexible! Currently Thursday through Sunday are the days I am most available, but with enough time in advance I should be able to make most things work. Just like us, each of our pets are different, so communication is huge to me. The more I know about your pet, the more comfortable we all can be whether it’s going on a walk to pet sitting. My goal when spending time with a pet is keep them feeling comfortable and safe. All animals have their own temperament, so through our communications and my understanding of animal body language I can meet your pet where they’re at whether that is needing space or snuggles.

About: Fostering puppies, horses, and birds was a family job growing up. I have experience in taking care of sick, recovering, and aging dogs. Both my dogs currently are 11 years old, so I know how stressful it can be trying to find care for them. They require more frequent restroom visits, focused care on comfort, and overall more time and attention. I can help with that! I've trained both dogs, have experience with training puppies, and can manage high or low energy animals. I'm currently in college full-time. Most of my days are spent studying on campus, which means I have a need for some fur therapy! I'll gladly walk, feed, and play with your pets as much as needed. Non-verbal cues are essential to building trust with animals. I do my best to pay attention to how my own pups communicate through head position, tail, eye, and mouth movement, as well as general body language. I'm a stranger to your pup, so I'll be sure to act carefully until they're comfortable with me. I know how important a routine is-my pups are getting older, and the more they age, the more they want to stick to a schedule! I hope to know more about how you take care of them, what their day looks like, and will do my best to replicate so the transition isnt rough!

“I was very pleased with the way she handled my dog and her personality i, it fits.”

“This is the first time using Rover and Rachael was amazing, she even came out the day before for a meet and greet with my dog. She is so kind and great with dogs! Thank you Rachael!”

About: I’ve been helping care for pets my whole life! For family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve helped to care for anxious pets, reactive pets, and senior pets. I’m available for overnights on the weekends, walks throughout the week, and any pet care in the summer! I teach during the school year :) I treat pets like family! My two dogs are spoiled & well loved. I would treat your pets the same & would be happy to chat about what your pet care expectations look like :)

About: I have always had dogs and currently have bunnies too. I volunteer one morning a week at the animal shelter when I'm physically able. I have trained six of my own. Also enjoy creating enrichment and providing interaction for those who benefit from it. Happy to give your pets company for a short while. I am available to do drop-ins for up to an hour or two in the mornings or early afternoons including a potty break. Depending on the dog and the day, longer walks may be available. Dependent on demeanor, I can provide company outside or inside with as much attention requested, a short walk, or play session. Automatically thresholds will be respected for exposure to triggers. On-leash will include practicing loose-leash walking, lots of sniffing, and some impulse control. Play will include the toys and/or treats provided at the pups home.

“Larisa was very good to my babies! Would definitely recommend her!”

About: Providing unconditional love & support for dogs & cats. My biggest passion is the love for animals. Earned a veterinary assistant certification at Northwest Career & Tech Academy. Looking forward to meeting your fur babies! 😀 I have open availability Monday-Sunday anytime during the week. I currently don't have any other job that could get in the way of my availability. I live on 5 acres of property with two German shepherds, two French bulldogs & 4 cats. There's a fenced area with 2 dog kennels I could separate from my animals if needed.

About: I love dogs and am looking to spend my free time playing with wonderful pups. Dogs are the joy of my life:). I believe that pups can teach me a lot about the simple pleasures in life. I am always spoiling pups that I meet with love and attentions that fulfills me and is appreciated by the pups themselves. I enjoy taking time out of my day to make pups feel loved, well-cared-for, and happy. I share a Shiba Inu with my friend Honza who I love more than anything. He has taught me how to be patient and kind when teaching dogs to interact positively with their surroundings. I look forward to encountering as many breeds as possible in my life so that I can understand more about what makes each dog different.

“Very personable and great with Finley. Marissa was on time and quick to communicate. She was very flexible, often on short notice to amend our schedule. Nothing but positive things to say.”

I have cared for dogs and cats with different personalities, routines and needs over the years and have a background in health care. I am confident I can take excellent care of your pets and give them the fulfillment they need while you are away! I am available daily with no set schedule.

I am comfortable being in any type of environment and will follow whatever schedule and routine you need me to in order to care for your baby the best way possible.

“Charlie really loved Jordan. When they got back from their walk he wanted to keep playing with her, it was cute.”

About: I have had a lot of different dogs and animals, and I love all kinds of animals. I was raised on a farm with horses, goats, chickens, cats, dogs and so on. I love dealing with animals and taking of them. I also love to make sure that all animals are well taken care of. I like to take my dog on walks instead of just putting him in the backyard when it's time to go outside, I also make sure that my dog gets all the exercise and play time he could ask for. I would do the same thing for your animals, I would make sure they are happy, and that they feel at home as most possible. I would treat them as if they were my own. I'm currently not work so I am available any time and any day of the week. I would prefer to have the weekends off but I can make exception. :) My two dogs at home I feed them every morning around 9 am and I let them out in the yard and play with them to let out there energy and from there I let them out every 2 hours. :)

About: Hi! My name is Martina :) I’m 25, currently located in Bellingham, and have a 2 year old spunky German Shepherd named Mabel, and two kitties Mira + Maggie! I’ve cared for many friends’ and family’s pets over the years, volunteered in various animal assistance programs, spent many hours on farms, and grew up with a yellow lab named Max and a cat named Ella! The three of us were inseparable, and they taught me a lot about how to care for, train, and become attuned with animals. Speaking their language is key :) Familiar with K-9 CPR/First Aid. Our day to day consists of big breakfasts, beach walks, snacks, running wild in the woods, more snacks, dank dinners and playing with other puppy friends. Animals mean the world to me! Mabel and the kitties are spoiled, and I would of course treat your animals like my own. Keeping their environments safe and stimulating is essential!
