“Lyndsay was awesome! I felt that my cat, Bailey, was in the best hands she could possibly be in. Lyndsay checked on her and gave her plenty of love and attention. She also sent me pictures and updates, which definitely put my mind at ease. I'll definitely be calling on Lyndsay next time I have to leave town!”
“Jeanette took great care of our puppy, who needed a little extra care post-spay. She was careful to follow our instructions and we’re so glad to find a qualified and trustworthy pet sitter ☺️”
“Morgan did an excellent job. I'm always hesitant to leave my cats for any length of time but Morgan was so sweet and accommodating. She took great care of our home and our pets. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Antonina did a great job watching my two cats while I was gone. She is very communicative and sends great updates/pictures on how they were doing. I came back home to happy cats! Would not hesitate to book her again!”
“Could not be happier with the services provided by Jennifer. She gave us daily updates with photos of our kitties. Very responsive to our texts and questions. She even swept and vacuumed our apartment before we got back! Look forward to hiring Jennifer again in the future.”
“Karolina has been a lifesaver for us this summer. She is very responsive, always sends photos, and is willing to go the distance (figurative and literally—we live pretty far off the beaten path). She took the time to get to know our kitty. I was surprised when Klaire, who is shy, was on Karolina’s lap by the third visit. Thank you, Karolina!”
About: I've grown up with cats my whole life. I currently have a 13 year old tabby named Charlie. I previously worked at NOAH Animal Shelter and Brigadoon Service Dogs. I miss working with animals every day. I'm currently working full time Monday - Friday 9-5 but am hoping to cut back on my hours to allow me to pet sit more. My husband and I are renting so unfortunately we can't host pets at our home. I'm more than happy to check in on your animals and/or house sit.
About: I'm a devoted Dog Auntie to a spirited Mini-Aussie, two lovable Labs, and even four horses! My heart still holds a special place for my Puggle rescue, Henry, who was my adventure buddy across three states and a cherished therapy dog for seniors until his passing in 2021. With over 25 years of experience, I connect instantly with dogs of all ages and personalities. From training playful puppies to providing compassionate care for senior dogs, I’ve done it all—including guiding my Puggle Henry in his professional training. Your furry friend will be treated like family in my care, with plenty of love, fun, and attention. Expect fetch sessions, refreshing walks, and cozy snuggles! Book with me for peace of mind knowing your pup is in experienced, caring hands. I'm currently a freelance writer who works from anywhere: cafes, coffee shops and even your couch. This enables me to pop in for a walk during the day or spend the weekend (or longer) with your dog while you're away. I live in a tiny home with very little space, so while I will consider watching your fur baby in my home, I believe they would be more comfortable in their environment. I have been pet sitting in the valley for several months now, and have excellent references.
“Katya did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty for 9 days, letting us know when she stopped by every evening, made sure we were on schedule to arrive home when planned, and offered to help with things like putting our recycling out. Most importantly, we came home to a healthy and happy kitty who had obviously gotten some love and attention when we were gone. Thank you Katya!”
“Amber did a great job of taking care of my young kitty Ely♥️ She sent me pictures and updates throughout the 5 days he stayed with her. When I picked my kitty up he looked content and well loved ? I will be using Amber again to care for my fur buddy if I can't take him with me❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Patient and fun family, was available with a few days notice. Piper loved her tennis ball y’all brought. I can tell it’s her current favorite as it’s completely falling apart now.”
About: I have had my lab mix since i was 16 years old potty trained and leashed trained him! In highschool i took a vet course and got to learn about healthy diets and grooming for dogs!! I currently work 4 days a week and need some extra cash to get me through school i have three days off a week and get off early two of my work days! I love to give my dogs lots of outside time playing fetch sun bathing or walks!! I always love to get fun toys or treats for my dogs!
About: I've been in the pet care industry for 15 years. Everything from being a vet tech, teaching pet CPR/First aid, working in animal rescues, training, boarding, dog walking/pet sitting, pet retail/nutrition; you name it! I am available Monday through Friday roughly 830 am to 630pm most days. Pet care is my full time job and I am fairly flexible. I have crash tested crates available for in the car as well as keeping them safe in my home. Pets are always leashed when outside our fenced yard, and depending on how new the relationship is even in our yard until we have built up trust.
About: I grew up with a Golden Retriever, going on walks and general care. I currently have a golden, and we go on walks and hikes together. I am a seasonal worker and love taking care of pets in my downtime. I love going on walks and hikes with pups, and I know a lot of places around Vancouver. I also love spending time with cats and making sure that their needs are met from food to play to quality time. I follow the client's instructions on how to care for their dog. Pups on diets don't get extra treats, but still get extra love ❤️.
About: I have grown up my whole life with dogs & cats in my home. I have dog / cat / house sat for 5+ years now and gained various specialized skills in caring for dogs and cats while working for Brigadoon, a local organization that trains service dogs. I currently work full time in Mount Vernon, WA for a nonprofit child placing agency. I work Monday through Thursday 8am-4:30pm in person with a 30 minute to 1 hour lunch break. I have virtual work Fridays - it can be more flexible with timing. I am happy to do care in the mornings, at lunch and sleepovers as needed. The pets would have to make it 4+ hours alone while I'm at work! I can not house pets in my home currently but if offered to dog sit in a clients home, I would be more than cautious and respectful of your space. Locking doors, not letting others into your home, and cleaning up a little is a strict rule I follow when dog sitting.
“We loved having Monica drop in on our cat while we were away. She left us great updates and pictures and was very communicative. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Monica watch Fireball in the future!”

Kelli B.
“I don’t trust just anyone with my German shepherd, except Kelli! She’s incredibly, attentive and caring naturally for humans and our pets! She provides top-notch care to my beloved, Chaos while traveling. Kelli provides updates daily along with pictures, and the love you feel with her updates makes leaving your babies so much easier. If Kelli left the house, Chaos went with! My girl loves to go, so I know this made her happy! We can't thank you enough for your compassion and dedication to the care you provide. We're lucky to have you house-sit and love on my girl!”
