About: I am a dedicated dog mom with hands on experience caring for both active and senior dogs. I love daily walks and outdoor play, and I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and care I give my own. I work full time Monday through Friday in White Salmon with some flexibility in my schedule and I’m also willing to stay overnight to provide consistent, reliable care for your pet in the comfort of their home if needed. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a friendly dog who enjoys playtime and walks. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs to make sure they feel comfortable and at home.

“Raenell did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. She stayed in communication prior to the stay to prepare and remained in communication while we were away. We had to unexpectedly extend our trip and she was able to accommodate the extension. We are very grateful to know our pup is in good hands.. .”

About: I’m Carina, I’m currently home with my one year old and two sweet senior dogs, Gabby and Roscoe, whose easy pace these days leaves me extra time and love for more pets. I have a background in childcare and outdoor education, so I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading what a dog or cat needs. I offer walks and drop-in visits, and treat every pet like part of the family. I am at home with my one year old, we have a very flexible schedule. We love spending our day with animals and happy to move our schedule around as needed. I offer walks , drop in visit or over night visit. Can’t offer boarding at my house. Communication with me is direct, respectful and easy.

About: I've owned dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for and training them. I currently have well-trained hunting dogs, and my German Shorthaired Pointer is my best friend and constant adventure buddy. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I take pride in providing patient, attentive care. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with good company, I'll treat them with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. I work a part time job in the evenings, the earliest I start is 2, sometimes 4 or 5 and I’m off around 9 and headed straight home! When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I'll make sure they stay on their regular feeding, walking, and potty schedule while giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I'm experienced with dogs of all energy levels, including active breeds, and I'm comfortable administering basic medications if needed. I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own—keeping it clean, secure, and following any instructions you provide. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

“Libby was fantastic and kept our animals company and our house tidy. She even washed the sheets before she left! Would definitely work with her again.”

About: I recently moved to the Gorge from Asheville, NC, and I am so excited to meet you and your pups! My deep love for animals began at a very young age. Growing up, I was surrounded by pets of all shapes and sizes -from dogs and cats to farm animals, reptiles, and birds. That lifelong passion led me into a rewarding career in animal care. I have been a full-time professional dog groomer and daycare/boarding specialist for the past 20 years. I also have experience at a veterinary emergency center. In my free time, I would volunteer to walk shelter dogs. I understand that every dog is unique. Over two decades, I have developed extensive experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I specialize in a slow, patient approach for nervous or shy dogs who need extra reassurance, and I am highly experienced in administering necessary medications. I treat every pet like family. My very first dog, an Airedale mix, lived to be 16 and a half years old. She had a long, beautiful life that I attribute to deep love, care, and proper attention. I bring that same standard of love and dedication to every animal I meet. I look forward to meeting you! I am currently a stay at home mom and we enjoy walking and hiking every day! Your pet will be included in everything! I understand some dogs enjoy lazy days too and I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I usually begin my morning with a walk and end it with one before bed. I am available to stay at your home or mine. I base this by whatever will make your pet feel the most comfortable. I have a friendly dog named Gator who misses playing with dogs while I worked at the grooming salon so bad, so I’m sure he’d be excited to join! We love going to the Bingen point “ dog park,”walking around the neighborhood near Daubenspeck park, Catherine creek, North Western, b.z falls, and the klickitat trail!

“I can't say enough good things about Beth! We were in a bind when we found out our pup may need surgery for a torn ligament just a day before our week long trip, and Beth stepped in to help us with such grace and professionalism. She took the time to understand our dog's special needs and ensured he was comfortable and cared for while we were away. Beth provided regular updates, sending us photos and messages that put our minds at ease. It was clear she genuinely cares for animals and is dedicated to providing the best care possible. We can't thank her enough for her kindness and expertise. We highly recommend Beth to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!”

About: I have had pups all my life, of many different shapes and sizes. I have lots of experience caring for elderly pups as well training puppies. I am comfortable with big dogs as much as I am little ones. I recently lost my dog of 20 long, happy puppy years, and am eager to put all the extra love I have to give into your pup. I have trained countless dogs to walk well on leash, if that’s something you need help with. I am also comfortable with big off leash (or on) hikes, if that’s what your pup prefers. I have a 90 lb bernedoodle puppy at home who delights in off leash adventures. If your dog needs socializing, we could all go together! I work part time and attend graduate school remotely, so I’m able to spend ample time with your beloved pets! My husband stays home with our dogs when I’m pet sitting, so not much need to leave once I’m there. I am very cognizant of escape artists and all sorts of mischievous puppies and kitties. I am very communicative with all of my clients; I’ll send pics and texts or calls if you prefer several times a day (unless you’d rather be left alone!)

About: I LOVE LOVE ANIMALS!!! I have a great passion for pet care and personally understand what its like wanting to make sure they are safe, doing well and have everything they need while you are away. I would love to assist with taking them for walks, feeding them or cleaning the litter box. I'm also okay with cleaning up behind them if they should have an accident. In addition, I would be more than happy to give them some playtime while creating a new friendship. Since I am mobile, I would come to you so that your pet would be more at ease with me while already being comfortable in their own home whether it's in the daytime or nighttime.(Overnights available on Sun, Mon, Tues).Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you need that special someone you can trust with your fur babies. I'm excited to make some great new furry friends! You won't be disappointed! Thank you in advance for the opportunity :) I'm available on Sun-Tues from 9am-8pm for overnights/house-sitting, drop ins, walks or pet sitting). I can also do drop ins on Wed-Sat. (mornings only-no walks on these days) I will care for pets in your home. I will make sure they have food, water and also clean the cat litter and walk the dog. I can also brush them if you would like. Lastly, give them lots of love and hugs.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for pets has always been second nature to me. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience, I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs. Over the years, friends and family have consistently trusted me to care for their pets as if they were my own—whether that means daily walks, overnight stays, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship and love. I take pride in being a dependable, compassionate sitter who creates a calm, safe, and happy environment while you’re away. I have a 4-yr old dog now named, Buckaroo, who is amazing with a majority of dogs. I work remotely for Aya Healthcare, a nurse and Locums management company. I am free to get away to walk your pet, or even stay at your place overnight and work from there. Plenty of schedule flexibility. I provide personalized, attentive care based on each pet’s routine and the specific service requested. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help reduce stress. I ensure a safe, clean environment, give plenty of affection and exercise, and closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully, including administering basic medications if needed. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.

About: Hi! I provide long-term, in-home house and pet sitting across the U.S. for homeowners who want their space handled consistently—not checked on, but actually lived in and maintained. I specialize in 1+ week stays and travel intentionally for sits, so I’m not juggling multiple local clients or rushing in and out. When I’m booked, your home is my focus. I work with residential homes and household pets only (no farms or large animals). I've done my time - hay is not my friend. Services: Long-term, in-home house sitting (2+ weeks minimum, negotiable if you're near the prior site) Overnight pet care (dogs, cats, household pets) Daily routines: feeding, medications, walks, litter Home care: mail, plants, trash, light cleaning, upkeep Full-time presence to maintain a lived-in, secure home This is not drop-in care—this is full coverage while you’re away. Experiance: I grew up on a hobby farm, so responsibility and animal care were part of everyday life early on. Now, I focus specifically on home environments and household pets, not farm or livestock care. My background in running businesses and managing operations means I’m organized, detail-aware, and dependable—especially in environments that require trust and consistency. I adapt quickly to new homes and follow established routines closely. Why should I hire you? Because I’m built for this type of arrangement. I travel specifically for longer sits—your home isn rarely one of several stops I don’t need supervision or micromanaging I communicate clearly and consistently - there might even be some pet pictures in your phone :) I handle issues calmly and practically You’re not coordinating with a sitter—you’re handing off your home to someone who can run it. Any special qualifications or training? Strong independent decision-making Comfortable managing homes solo for extended periods High attention to detail and respect for personal spaces Calm, steady, and reliable I’m also comfortable learning specific pet routines, medications, or household preferences. What’s your availability? North America availability Minimum stay: 2 weeks Open to extended and repeat sits Travel-ready and flexible with advance notice Once booked, I commit fully to that stay. Personality / Fit I’m calm, observant, and self-sufficient. Not high-drama, not flaky. Best fit: Homeowners traveling for extended periods People who want consistency without micromanaging I also work with executives who are in and out and need a temporary house guest (under 6 months) Not a fit: Less than 10 days Farms, livestock, or horse care (this can possibly be vaived with a conversation - I am very familar with animals) Your home stays in order, and your pets get real attention—not just care. I provide steady, full-time presence in your home. As a digital nomad, I work remotely, which means your pets aren’t left alone for long stretches and their routines stay consistent. I’m not rotating between clients or dropping in—I’m there, living in the space and keeping things running normally. I grew up around a wide mix of animals, so I’m comfortable adjusting to different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Some pets want constant attention, some want space, and some need structure—I meet them where they are and follow your routines closely, including feeding, medications, and daily habits. I also enjoy being outdoors, so walking dogs and getting animals outside is a natural part of the day, as long as that aligns with what they’re used to. It’s not forced—it’s just part of how I operate. You can expect a calm, low-drama environment. I tend to be observant and consistent, which animals respond well to. I’ll keep communication clear and reasonable—updates and photos as agreed—without overwhelming you while you’re away. Your home will be respected and maintained. I keep things clean, organized, and handled like they matter. And beyond all of that, I genuinely enjoy animals. This is how I get my “pet fix” while traveling, so I’m not just checking boxes—I actually like spending time with your pets. Your pets are the priority while you’re away. I keep a close, consistent eye on them and pay attention to small changes in behavior, appetite, or energy so issues are caught early, not after they’ve escalated. I maintain a calm, predictable environment and follow your routines closely to reduce stress and keep things stable. I’m comfortable handling medications and will administer them exactly as instructed, whether that’s daily dosing, timed schedules, or more specific routines. If something feels off, I act quickly and communicate clearly—using your preferred vet, emergency contacts, and instructions. It's also important for you to know that I grew up in a rural (farm) envirnment. and other animals are on the table - currently watching a home with 2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 goats and 9 chickens. Haying and watering are fine, but I don't feel capable of cow milking, horse riding, etc. You can expect a steady, attentive presence focused on keeping your pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time you’re gone.
