“Jessica was fantastic with Buda! Sent me great updates and adorable pictures, as well as checking in when she wasn’t sure about something. Will definitely request her services again!”


“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 ☺️”


“Lyndsay was very responsive, friendly, and easy to work with for drop in visits with my cat. I came home to a very content and happy pet and I would definitely book with her again!”


“Morgan did a wonderful job. She really went above and beyond. I could tell that she took excellent care of my big dog, and they seemed to have a wonderful time together!”


About: I've grown up with cats my whole life. I currently have a 13 year old tabby named Charlie. I have watched several cats, dogs, and even chicken over the last two decades. I am very passionate about animal advocacy. I previously worked at NOAH Animal Shelter and Brigadoon Service Dogs. I miss working with animals every day. I currently work full time but will be cutting back my day job hours starting mid September. This will allow me to be more available for my pet clients. 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 at your residence.

About: My affinity for dogs runs deep, rooted in a lifetime of experiences that began in foster care and blossomed when I was adopted into a loving family with two precious furry friends, Molly and Tyler. I cherished every moment spent with them – from watering and feeding to playful escapades in the great outdoors. As I navigated various social settings, whether at friends' homes or on the job, dogs would inevitably gravitate toward me, and I'd toward them. It was as if we shared a special connection, one that transcended words and spoke directly to the heart. Today, I live with two stunning Blue Heelers, Honey Sage and Smokey. These canine companions bring boundless joy to my world, and I'm constantly amazed by their ability to communicate with their hearts. As an empath, I find it especially rewarding to work with animals, tapping into their emotional landscapes and forging deep, meaningful bonds. I'm available to provide pet care services every day of the week, including boarding and daycare. I also offer pick-up and drop-off services and am happy to drive to accommodate your needs. Let me know if you're interested in learning more about my services. My Fenced-in backyard is a great space for dogs to play. I offer kennels/crates for dogs as needed, to ensure their comfort and separation when necessary. My two friendly Blue Heelers enjoy socializing with other dogs. I'll provide regular breaks every two hours and monitor behavior to keep everyone safe and happy.


“Jennifer was excellent with our cat. She provided great updates and even brought in a package that was sitting on our front porch. We will definitely be requesting Jennifer to do check-in visits of our cat 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!”


“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'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.

“Amber came by to take care of my two kitties and houseplants. She did an excellent job with both. The cats had a new brand of wet cat food in the selection, she noticed that they like the new kind better. I highly recommend Amber for pet sitting, and as a bonus she is great with house plants too.”


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!”
