Pet Sitting The Woods

About: Ive always had a dog in my life since i was a baby, and i was given the first dog of my own for my 7th birthday and i took care of that dog like crazy. He was a dog full of personality, including difficult behavior including very particular occasional agressivness which i learned to carefully tune into inorder to keep him and others safe and happy. I also would often watch the pets of family and friends. Im in my fourth year of college, and i miss my dog so much, i am experiencing a terrible lack of dogs in my life. Please let me hang out with and take your dog on a hike or a walk! I have a incredibly open summer, which means im here to walk or take care of your precious animal any time you need, just hit me up! I enjoy listening to what your pet has to say, their personality and their needs. I follow instructions very closely, im able to deal with animals with a wide variety of personality quirks and work with activities taylored just for them.

“Aaliyah did everything we asked and sent regular updates. Even though our cats never came out during her visits she ensured they were eating and using the bathroom.”

About: Our dogs have been our best friends for 20 years. We give them the treatment they deserve such as tons of pampering, love and care! We are retirees looking to fill our days and as pet lovers we decided we should share that time and love to other furbabies! We had three beautiful Golden Retrievers, all now in doggie heaven ♡ We currently have a 4 year old, playful, male Goldendoodle, an instant playmate to your furbaby! We have a fenced yard and we live in a quiet neighborhood, close to parks and a lake nearby to take them walking! We are mostly home so we will spend a ton of time with your fur baby may that be on walks, quick trips to nearby parks and lakes (yes car rides!) or simply chilling in our zen garden. They are the boss of us! We care for them like our own and take into consideration what they are used to. Your fur baby's comfort is our priority. They will always have company and will never be left alone.

“Ari was great! I had unexpected packages show up and he brought them in and put them away. He sent lots of pictures from the check-ins and was overall very communicative.”

About: When I was little and people asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said 'dog walker' — and now I finally get to live that dream! This summer I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I have experience with both small and large dogs, as well as cats, and I treat every animal like my own. This summer I'm home in Olympia taking a college course, so my days are flexible and my focus is simple — hitting the books and spoiling some fur babies! I have plenty of time and am committed to giving your pet consistent, reliable care My home comes with a large fenced yard — plenty of room for your pup to run wild, explore, and have the time of their life!

“Helena is a great communicator and took excellent care of our 3 animals (1 large, excitable dog; 2 cats) while we were away for several days visiting family. I really appreciated how quickly she reached out if she had any questions and how promptly she responded during our check-ins. Helena has lovely energy and we could absolutely tell the pets appreciated having such a warm and capable caregiver while we were away. It definitely helped set our minds at ease knowing our animals (especially our big, dopey, kinda high-maintenance dog) were all in such excellent hands. Thank you, Helena!!”

“I’ve used a few different sitters on Rover before and have had great experiences, but Brett truly went above and beyond. He sent tons of pictures during each drop-in with the cutest (and funniest) commentary, which made being away so much easier. He even made friends with my cat who normally hides from strangers — I was shocked! He was also extra gentle and loving with my senior dog, which meant so much to me. It’s clear he genuinely cares. I would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him.”

“Johanna is always so wonderful! She sends tons of pictures and long, diligent reports on how Oscar is doing, which makes me feel reassured when I need to leave town. She really goes above and beyond every time!”

“Milo came to care for my elderly cat. Oreo likes her. This is a rare thing. She usually hides from caregivers. She also came during a big snowstorm. I called worried but she came in each day for her care. I'll call her anytime to watch my pets.”

Terri G.

“Savannah faithfully checked in each day and did her best to comfort my timid pup as well as lavish attention on the other dog and cats. The animals were in good care.”

About: I have been taking care of Dogs, Cats, and small Reptiles for a combined 10 years. I love to snuggle on the couch, go for walks, and chase the local squirrels. I have a full time time job my hours are 5am - 1:30pm Monday - Friday I also have a small gig job that ranges in schedule, will communicate hours when necessary. My two cats are pretty laid back, other than needing pets 24/7. Growing up and have had to manage many different types of pets, from super hyper and playful to couch potatoes.

“Zach is VERY good and attentive with our elderly Sadie. He gets her to eat which we sometimes can't even do. He's great when on a walk paying attention to not pushing her to go to fast or to far. Thanks Zach!”

Brandi K.

“Sarah is a wonderful sitter! Booked her for two drop-ins with walks and my dogs absolutely loved her. One of my dogs is a little older and requires medication and she was very gentle getting her to take it. She’s very communicative throughout. Absolutely recommend Sarah!”

Matthew J.

“Highly recommend! Chloe has been fantastic with my dog and truly cares for her. She is quick to respond and keeps me updated with photos and messages. I have an unpredictable schedule, but she’s always been incredibly flexible and accommodating!”

Albina M.

“Once again Deidre was amazing with my pups! I think they recognize her now because they are starting to come out of their kennel for her with no issues! Which is a huge accomplishment for them.”

Charity M.

“Jerrie is a reliable sitter and always sends me photos of my dog playing outside. She takes great care of him when I’m away. Plus, she has saved me at the last minute and been available with short notice.”

Valerie B.

“Fantastic service. My pets love Lizzy. And so do I. She is dependable and always plays with my Bella and makes sure the cats get attention too. Highly recommended.”

Donna B.

“Ana was prompt. She took care of my two dogs like they were her own. My next vacation I'll be using her services again.”

About: I have always lived with and cared for cats and dogs my whole life, but I have also have several positions over the past 15 years caring for various other animals. My first professional animal caregiving experience was at Pioneer Park Nature Center in Lincoln, NE. There, I provided enrichment and care to a wild variety of animals, including owls, hawks, vultures, snakes, turtles, and salamanders. I have also lived on farms where I cared for dogs, rabbits, goats, sheep, ducks, and chickens. In California, I volunteered for 2 years at a wildlife hospital where I cared mainly for songbirds. There, I learned how to administer medication and provide foster care for baby squirrels and raccoons. The care of animals has always been central to my personal, professional, and even my academic life. I love all animals, but I am by far a cat person. I grew up with five cats and two dogs. Currently, I have a sweet old man cat named Little One. I have a lot of availability because I work seasonal, conducting bird surveys for a non-profit in Idaho in the spring and summer. I am happy to do evening walks, overnights, holidays, and weekends. I am a responsible, respectful adult who is happy to care for your pet at your home, as my living situation is not conducive to boarding animals.
