House Sitting Tumalo

“Halley was wonderful. She house/dog sit for me and was great with communication -asking needs, preferences, and confirming considerations. I greatly appreciated it. She met Wally, she met me, took a walk through and I appreciated her flexibility and willingness to be prompt and available. I would love to have her care take again and use her services 😊 I recommend for others easily”

About: There is not a second of my life I can remember where I wasn't around animals. I've been lucky enough to grow alongside a beautiful variety; home-born kittens, adopted cats, strays, generations of dogs, chickens, goats. I've seen it all! While my heart and expertise lies in cats, I am also more than capable caring for lower maintenance dogs and animals. Don't let my title discourage you from reaching out! Currently I live with Pheobe, a sweet playful little tuxedo. While she's techincally my mom's cat, I share responsibility in her care. I'm currently working a part-time job Sunday through Tuesday from 2:00pm to 7:00pm, and additionally Thursdays from 1:00pm to 6:00pm. However, if any of my work days land on a major holiday I will be free. With this in mind, I'm absolutely able to house sit every day of the week but can only currently do drop in visits Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Whether your animal is a complete lovebug, lone wolf or maybe even timid, I will adapt to their boundaries and specific care needs. Every pet is different; I know better than to think otherwise! A bonus if you have more than one furry companion. The more the merrier. While I am goofy and lighthearted, this job is something I take seriously. I understand that you are trusting me with not only a member of your family, but the tending of your safe space. You deserve to have peace of mind while you are away from home.

“Abbey stayed with our two dogs for a week. She was great about updates and we came home to happy dogs. Abbey is a sweetheart and we would definitely use her again!”

“Kara took such great care of our dogs! She made sure that they were fed, happy, and tired at the end of the day. She is great at communication and I really appreciated all the photos and updates. Thank you Kara!!”

“Hannah was amazing with our pup, Lulu, and small flock of chickens. She has attention to detail, patience, and discipline that make for a great pet and house sitter. Thank you!”

“Sherry was a fantastic house and dog sitter. She communicated clearly and consistently throughout the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. We especially appreciated the daily photo updates—seeing our dogs happy and relaxed made it much easier to be gone. Our home was well cared for, and the dogs were clearly comfortable and well looked after. We would absolutely recommend Sherry to others and would be happy to book with her again in the future.”

“Leslie was so loving with my dog, Lupine. She sent daily updates with photos about their day, their walks and Lupine’s wellbeing. Leslie followed my intricate instructions to resolve Lupine’s GI issues and also kept me up to date on that. Lupine got along well with Leslie’s dogs so she got to have adventures with them too. I will definitely reach out to Leslie again when I travel. She’s responsible and caring.”

About: **Thanksgiving Week: I am available!** Note that I work in person during the week and I can check on your furry friends between 4 hr shifts. **For Thanksgiving Day: I will be away from your home and furry friends from 3:30pm to 9pm. Location depending, I can do a drop-in to feed dinner** What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give to every pet in my care. I understand that pets are family, and I treat each one as if they were my own. I take the time to get to know every pet’s unique personality, needs, and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Additionally, I have good intuition to understand their needs quickly. I’m happy to work with puppies who are still learning and to help reinforce good habits with patience and positivity. I have an absolute soft spot for senior pets and understand the extra gentleness, attention, and care they may need. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, medication routines, or simply keeping them company, I want every pet to feel happy, safe in their space and at ease with me. I believe communication is just as important as great pet care, so I share updates and photos to give owners peace of mind. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels loved, safe, and right at home! My availability is pretty variable throughout the week. I have a strong work ethic and sense of commitment. I will communicate with you to please your schedule needs in the best way possible. When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is to keep them happy, comfortable, and loved in their familiar surroundings. I do my best to maintain their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime. I keep the pet space tidy, safe and organize. I provide plenty of love, attention, and companionship while respecting each pet’s unique needs. Whether caring for an energetic puppy or giving a senior pet extra gentle attention, I want every pet to feel safe and at ease with me. I treat your home with utmost respect and love sharing photos and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands!

“Samantha was Excellent! She stayed at my home the entire time and took Care of my German Shepherd and Scotty. It’s always a good sign when they’re happy when you come home. She took them for long walks water our plants brought in our mail and our garbage cans. The house was left very clean as if she was never here! I would definitely recommend her!”

Janis B.

“My review is late but i wanted to be sure to get this in. Janis was great with my dogs. i came home and they were happy and healthy. She kept me updated and sent pics like she said she would. She is nice and kind and it was a blessing to have her help me out when i needed a sitter and was having trouble finding one. I will be contacting her again. thanks!”

About: I’ve always had a pet as a member of my family. Cats and dogs. My current love is a super chill (yes, there is such a thing!) lab. Every walk is a mini training adventure. My lab Riley will get along with your pup, it’s just his nature. I provide enrichment during the day to keep boredom away. If I visit your cats, I know they might not visit me! I’ll just sit on the floor and wait for them to come out from under the bed! I’m fortunate to be able to adjust my retiree schedule every day. I’m flexible to your particular pet’s needs and schedule. It depends on the type of service, in my home or in yours. I have a completely fenced, (tall too) back yard. I don’t leave my pup unattended while he’s out. We leash walk mornings, afternoon and evenings. I have numerous sniffing loops I use as I live along the canal.

About: I have raised and taken care of a number of animals including dogs and cats, and am comfortable with puppies. I absolutely love evening walks with dogs and hanging out with cats! I have a flexible remote schedule that allows me take care of your animal and household needs and spend plenty of time with your pets. When I am caring for pets in a client's home I give particular attention to the cleanliness of the space by always cleaning up after the pet and making sure everything is how it was left.

About: I have taken care of Dogs for my family and friends for years and love every minute of it. I try to form the best bond possible and make sure their individual needs are met and exceeded. All Dogs deserve a loyal ally and a caring friend. I would be honored to meet yours! Available all week and throughout the Holiday Season. Drop In Visits are still available during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. I will work around your schedule for Meet and Greets! Bookings can be confirmed before or after these greetings. I am The Emotional Support Human. This means first forming a bond of friendship and trust with your World's Goodest Boyo/Sweetheart. I will introduce myself with a chicken pot pie treat and unconditional love. I will always treat them with the greatest respect and kindness, and only mild authority for their safety during leashed walks. Constant reassurance and love, as well as treats for best behavior and brushes for grooming. If Boarding, we would need to successfully create this friendship and a Territory Introduction beforehand to ensure the emotional state of the animal is ideal. I can guarantee their safety, but I cannot guarantee I can help them overcome their Separation Anxiety. I rent a house with a 20' x 65' grass backyard, edged with tanbark. 6 ft. fence and lockable hatches on both sides. I am not a certified veterinarian; however, Hospice Support is a service that I want to offer free of charge and complimentary to any booking.

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life, with over 20 years of experience owning and training my own dogs, as well as fostering and getting to know pups with different personalities, backgrounds, and needs. Being around dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and figuring out what makes them feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I’m an outdoorsy person who loves spending time in nature, so I’m always happy to take dogs on walks and outdoor adventures! I also appreciate the quieter moments, whether that’s playing, getting some extra sniff time, or simply keeping your pet company and making sure they feel loved while you’re away. My experience with training and fostering has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and meeting each dog where they are. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs, energy levels, routines, and quirks. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. After sharing 11 wonderful years with my own dog, Xia, I understand firsthand that pets are family. My goal is to give your furry family member the same attentive, compassionate care I’d want for my own, while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! ❤️

“Sarah really connected with our 3 dogs over the holidays. In fact, we’re certain Bella really missed her the night we returned home! Sarah kept us updated with daily pictures of the dogs and we felt comfortable the entire time we were away from home”

About: I'm an experienced dog walker and pet sitter. I've taken care of all sorts of cats and dogs. I grew up with cats, but walked dogs professionally in Seattle. I'm very sensitive to your pets needs and want them to have fun! I'm currently working part time in the mornings, so I have plenty of time in the afternoon and evenings for pet care. I don't have any pets of my own right now and will be fully committed to caring for your pet. I’ll make sure your pets are well taken care of when you’re away and I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I'm trustworthy and respectful of your pets and home.

“Kelly was wonderful!! My dogs had several walks a day, which is more than they are used to (lucky kids), they were never left alone for long, and Kelly always made me feel at ease and like all was well back home while I was away.”

“Sarah was wonderful, she took great care of my fur babies! She sent me pics of my doggies. I felt great knowing they were at home safe and sound. We will definitely use her again!”
