“I really appreciate Darby's stance on dominance upon arrival, she deals with no bull! And I felt my pup was secure during her daily visits at Darbys home, with walks and suitable interaction with other pups at her home, I had no complaints. My pup was fed her meals as requested and Darby went the extent to clean the containers I brougjt homemade meals in for feeding, so I hadnt needed to worry about that after a long day! I respect Darby's stance even if off stanish to start.”

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.

“Michael did an amazing job with my dog...my dog came back with better manners and I learned a few things myself. Highly recommend!! Thank you”

“We were very happy with our dogs care with Pamela. Our dog got the attention and activity with other dogs that he needed while we were gone for a day. And he was tired and happy when we picked him up 😀 It was nice to receive pictures thruout the day too! Will definately use Pamela's services again for our pup!”

“Great experience leaving our puppy here! Plenty of photos were sent to us showing how much fun he was having and that he was being treated well, especially playing with her minpin and the other puppy being watched. Will definitely consider again! Thank you.”

About: I have training and experience with dogs including grooming, training and handling. I believe time spent with a dog is time well spent. I do what I love, and I believe it shows! I am currently volunteering part time with Thurston County animal services, which allows me a lot of time do walk, play and board your dog. I exclusively practice positive reinforcement with all dogs I encounter. You get better results by treating animals with respect, understanding and kindness. My yard is fenced and safe too. All I ask is that you let me know if the dog is a digger or escape artist so I can plan accordingly.

“Deidre was amazing with our two whippets, Oliver and Finley! She has a spacious, fully fenced backyard where the boys had a blast running and playing. Her two pups were super friendly and got along great with ours. Deidre was incredibly easy to communicate with—flexible, responsive, and made the whole experience stress-free. We’d absolutely book with her again!”

“Our little Odie loved his time at Rochelle's! She took such good care of him and he came home calm and relaxed every day. Great communication and wonderful location. Highly recommend!”

About: I want to care for and spoil your dogs just as you would if you could be home. I have been working with pups going on 8 years. I began by walking dogs at a local humane society, then on to becoming a Certified Professional Dog Trainer. I absolutely love dog sitting and I have the skills to administer medications. Currently I facilitate small enriched dog play groups during the day and in the evening I provide private dog training. I am just as comfortable working with giant breeds as I am with the tiniest. While sitting for your pup I can take them for walks, go to a dog park, and go for hikes. I will send you pictures of your pup daily and keep you updated. I also don’t mind you checking in as often as you need to feel comfortable. I know it’s hard to be away from your your four legged friends. I hope to become one of your dogs best friends! I run a doggy adventure day camp that your dog can join in while boarding. I hike daily M-F with all the pups in my care. We frequent the local forest as well as I fenced sniff spots. While in my home you can rest assured knowing that your dog is being spoiled, loved, and supervised. My yard is fenced in which makes potty breaks easy! All dogs are kept in separate areas while eating and dogs are pups are kept separate if I have to go run an errand.

“Alison was recommended by a friend and I used her for the first time this week. My dog doesn’t get out much and definitely loves people more than other dogs. . . And based on the picture Alison sent of my dog sleeping on her, I’d have to say that Wazel loved Alison too! We’ve already signed up to use her again.”

Sharon S.

“I couldn’t be happier with Jennifer and her family for taking such great care of my dog. My dog came home happy, tired. I will definitely continue to board with Jennifer.”

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds—from playful puppies and senior dogs to finicky cats and exotic pets—I provide loving, reliable, and attentive care tailored to each animal’s unique needs. I treat every home with the same respect and responsibility as my own, ensuring it's clean, secure, and well-maintained. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of animal behavior, my commitment to clear communication, and my ability to keep pets calm, happy, and healthy while their owners are away. Whether it’s administering medication, sticking to special diets, or simply providing extra cuddles, I go above and beyond to make sure your pets (and your home) are in the best possible hands. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s part of my everyday life. I’ve built my routine around giving animals the attention, exercise, and love they need to thrive. Whether it’s morning feedings, midday play sessions, or evening check-ins, I truly enjoy every moment spent caring for pets. My flexible schedule allows me to be present and reliable, whether it’s for daily visits, overnight stays, or extended house sitting. Caring for animals brings me joy, calm, and a sense of purpose—it’s not a side job, it’s a natural and fulfilling part of my week. When I care for pets in their home, I treat the space—and the animals in it—with the same respect, love, and attention I give my own. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, so I work hard to maintain their routines and surroundings just as you would. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddles on the couch, or keeping things tidy, I make it my priority to create a calm, happy atmosphere. Your home becomes my home during each stay, and I approach every visit with trustworthiness, responsibility, and genuine care.

“Super friendly and was nice to greet our Obi with treats. Our dog felt so comfortable being handed off and didnt notice we left! We loved the photo updates.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages - from playful puppies to wise seniors, so I understand each stage’s unique needs. Whether it’s training, gentle care, or keeping them active and happy, I make sure every dog feels loved and safe. I work full-time from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your pups. I’m available for boarding any day of the week and can give them attention, walks, and cuddles whenever they need. I provide a safe and calm environment for pets. My home has a fully fenced yard, and there are no children or other pets, so your furry friend can play and relax freely and safely.

“Desiree was so flexible and accepted my fur babies at last minute. During the time I was gone I could tell they received lots of attention with all the pictures I received. I felt completely comfortable and will definitely book again in the future.”

About: I have had dogs/animals (horses, cats, rabbits, goats, ect) all my life. Would love to give some time and attention to help others out with their dogs when they are not able to take them along. Love to go walking, I have dog/cat/horse/house sat for several people at my work and for friends. Can give referrals of many happy clients. I will take care of your dog as if it were my own. My daughter is also a vet tech, so if an emergency arises she is close by to help if needed. Thanks for your time. Jerrie P. I am also available to house sit for other animals as well. I will always make sure your pet has what they need while you are away, potty breaks, meals, play time, walks and cuddles. Please let me know what they enjoy! I will keep your pet safe and happy while their people are away, and treat them as they are my own! Will follow your instructions on what your pet needs.

About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. I have a genuine love for being near animals and taking care of them because they brighten my day. I am currently in college I want to try to make pet sitting a part time job so I can save up for my future. The apartment comples I live in has a dog park where a lot of dogs go and have fun, if there is any type of schedule by the owner/owners I would follow it. I usually try to relax on my free time, reading books and enjoying art, my hobbies give me time to take care of and play with the animals that I care for. The doors are locked unless I or someone with a key unlocks them, i make sure that the dogs have a leash on before I open the door and that there are no cats near the door to run out.
