About: As a young adult, I've had many opportunities to care for the pets of friends and family, and I'm always happy to help. I've looked after a variety of breeds and personalities, from German Shepherds and Dachshunds to Maine Coons. Every pet deserves attentive care, love, and patience. As the proud dog mom of two Corgis, I'm experienced with energetic, intelligent, and sometimes sassy personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they're in my care. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate recurring visits as well as one-time bookings. I'm happy to work with pet owners to create a routine that best fits their pet's needs and provides consistent, reliable care. For recurring bookings, I'm happy to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand so your pet can become comfortable with me and feel safe in your home. For one-time visits, I simply ask that we discuss your pet's routine, greeting preferences, and any special instructions in advance so I can provide the best possible care. Whether it's feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or plenty of affection, I'll make sure your pet feels cared for while you're away.

“Great experience with Isabella. She is cheerful, communicative and attentive. Definitely shows that she enjoys animals! Hope to work with her again.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life ranging from small dogs such as my current dog Mochi, to large dogs. Being around animals especially dogs has always been something that I’ve enjoyed and have had lots of experience with growing up. My experiences range from the needs of puppies all the way to elderly dogs with their healthcare needs, which makes me more than willing to provide care for your pet. I’m currently available at all times for taking care of your dog during the day, coming by to check in and let your dog out for bathroom breaks, and taking them on walks. When walking your dog I’ll make sure they are well supervised and kept safe while also following any given instructions to ensure they have an enjoyable walk. For care at your home I’ll follow your pets regular routine and any specific needs or rules for them.

About: I’ve been a pet owner since I was 5, so I have tons of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, fish, birds and reptiles. My dream is to someday open my own doggy daycare/boarding facility, because working with animals has always been my passion. I am very patient with animals, which helps me to bond with even the shyest of pets. My roll and experience at the doggy daycare I manage is overseeing the daily operations of the facility, ensuring a safe, clean, and fun environment for all dogs. Grouping dogs appropriately based on size, temperament, and play style; monitor play yards to prevent overstimulation or conflict. Maintain strict sanitation and health protocols, ensuring all kennels, play areas, and equipment are deeply cleaned and sanitized daily. Manage stock levels for dog food, treats, cleaning supplies, first aid kits, and office materials. Recruit, interview, and train new daycare attendants and pack leaders on dog behavior, safety protocols, and company policies. Create and manage staff schedules to ensure optimal caregiver-to-dog ratios, keeping labor costs aligned with daily attendance. Provide ongoing feedback, conduct performance reviews, and foster a positive, collaborative team environment. Train staff to recognize early signs of stress, illness, or aggression in dogs, and ensure they know how to handle emergencies or dog fights calmly and effectively. Greet pet parents during check-in/check-out, address questions, and handle client concerns or complaints with professionalism and empathy. Conduct temperament evaluations (meet-and-greets) for incoming dogs to ensure they are a good fit for open-pack play. Maintain accurate up-to-date digital records for all dogs, ensuring required vaccinations (Rabies, Bordetella, DHPP) are current. Provide owners with detailed updates, report cards, or incident reports regarding their dog’s behavior, health, and socialization. Administer medications, supplements, or specialized diets accurately as requested by owners. Provide immediate pet first aid for minor cuts, scrapes, or injuries sustained during play. Safely transport or coordinate the transport of a pet to a partner veterinarian in the event of a medical emergency. I love all the dogs like they are on my own. IAlthough I went to school to be a vet tech at Pierce, I couldn’t see myself in the vet med environment. Caring for animals has and always will be my passion. I am available for walks and check ins at this time. My availability is open all day Saturdays, sundays and Thursdays. And limited availability Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays as I work full time at a doggy daycare/boarding facility here in Lakewood. I’ll give your fur baby lots of love and attention and keep them calm and comfortable while mom/dad are away. I always do a yard/gate check before letting them outside. I will always leave your home in the same or better condition that I arrived in.

About: Throughout my life I've had 4 dogs. Currently I have two, with one being a 2-year-old pup I've been training ever since I adopted her and one that's pretty old and requires some special care. I used to work as a dog groomer for a business called Kendra's Grooming and I would watch her dogs when she went away with her family for vacation. For Kendra's Grooming I would bathe, dry, and hold dogs whenever needed. All of my classes are online currently for the summer and I'm open whatever day of the weekdays and Saturdays along with whatever time or for however long. So, I'm able to work whatever time is needed. I would be able to keep a constant eye on your pup, take them on however many walks you would want, and would be able to care for them in whatever way is needed. I've worked with animals with all sorts of personalities and in varying stages of health, so I can work with any form of animal, and I can accommodate for any of your pet's unique needs.

“Louann took such good care of our dog, Cece. She sent updates and photos which was great. We will definitely be looking to her again in the future!”

“Misao took care of our puppy on short notice so we could go hiking. Misao provided us with updates and pics of our pup. She was personable, reliable and prompt with communication. Thank you, Misao!”

“Morgane is literally a dream come true. She understands my extremely rambunctious pup and they have their own adorable friendship. Having Morgane take him off my hands a few times a week is priceless as someone who works from home. She goes the extra mile for him in every way, driving him to his favourite park, continuing his training on his walks, sending me the funniest pics and videos. She a staple around here!”

About: Hi I'm Amy! I love animals! I grew up with the sweetest family dog and had so much fun raising him and training him to do some fun basic tricks like sit, lay down, spin, shake, roll over, bang! I also fostered kittens and cats during college, and even taught the cats to do tricks like high five and spin! I am currently working part time as an SLPA and would love to care for your pets on my days off from the clinic because it brings me so much joy to be around them. I can follow specific directions and adapt to your fur-baby’s needs. All pets are unique, so I am more than happy to accommodate anything necessary for your pet’s specific needs.

“Michaela is wonderful and our dog Jack loves her. Jack usually barks at new people, but the first time he met Michaela, he went all doe-eyed. Jack also has a number of funny habits that some walkers might be very impatient with, but Michaela is both patient and resourceful in interpreting what's up with him. Last, we human persons had lots of concerns about Jack to run past Michaela, and her communication and insights put us at ease. Michaela has a way with our persnickety pup (and similarly mannered people :)). We're glad to have found her!”

About: Hi! My name is Traci, and I’ve always had a deep love for animals. I believe pets are family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I live in a pet-friendly home with a large, fully fenced backyard that is perfect for safe playtime and exercise.

I’m empathetic to animals’ needs and personalities—whether your dog is shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. My goal is to give them a safe, fun, and stress-free experience while you’re away. I currently have a flexible working schedule, if your dog is in my care, I will be with them the entire time playing in the back yard, going on walks, and lots of scratches and cuddles. I have a fully fenced yard with no gaps or loose boards, your dog will have full range to run around and play. I have a 4 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel/poodle mix, who loves meeting new friends and would love to keep your fur baby company. Upon meeting, I would like to know your dog’s routine (feeding, medication, crate time if used, allergies) so that I can give your dog the best care possible!

“Natalie has been an amazing sitter. We have a special needs/ very shy dog. Natalie works slow with him, and goes above and beyond making sure his needs are met - my confidence is very high when he’s in her care (and he loves her). She is great about communicating, as well as extremely flexible and easy to work with.”
