“Ket was great. I was a new Rover user without a spare key. She net with me in the morning and after work to do a key exchange. In the afternoon she came in to walk my dog. However, my dog was scared. She sat there patiently and took pictures of him. He didn't come to, but she did leave out training pads and treats for him. I returned home and my dog was in tip top shape. He was very well fed and had zero accidents.”

About: Im Ana, lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. We can do walks, hikes, swimming, even to a play day at the park. I’m able to give your dog/cat all the attention needed, and they would never be unattended. I can take dogs to dog park or the nearest park to make sure they get the most of the visit. As a stay-at-home mom (SAHM) with a flexible schedule, Pet care fits into my daily routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and ensuring their overall well-being. Be sure that if you decide on me I will go above and beyond as that is my style in life and with animals and people.

“I highly reccomend Brett!  I got very sick and was in a pretty desperate situation with my newly rescued, very large pitt mix.  I contacted Brett and he got in touch with me right away.  He came at the drop of a hat a few days when Ash really need a walk.  He even came from farther than he routinely helps people.  Very reliable, punctual and kind.  Was easily able to handle my 85 lb pitt mix.  (With bad manners...lol)  I'm very grateful for the help he gave me.  Give him a call!”

About: There's nothing better than meeting a cat or dog for the first time as a stranger and getting to become their buddy. I have no problem taking things slow with cats and dogs who are slow to trust and reading their body language to see if they want pets or they want to be left alone. In the past few years I have taken care of several of my friends' pets when they go out of town. I took care of my friend's six cats at his house over a weekend which included a lot of litter scooping. I cared for my friend's senior chiweenie at my home for a weekend which included taking many potty breaks. I cared for a friend's energetic puppy and young cat for about a week in their home and gave the puppy a lot of daily exercise by playing fetch in a nearby park. I'm available to pet sit and house sit on weekdays and weekends. I can stay overnight to care for your cats, dogs, and house as needed. I can go on walks with your dog for exercise or for frequent bathroom breaks. I can feed your pets at regular meal times and play with them.

About: I've been a pet lover since I was a kid. I started with frogs, lizards and snakes, and graduated to cats and dogs. Until I was able to have dogs of my own, I spent over 10 years pet-sitting for friends and family, volunteering in animal shelters, and have even worked in 2 seperate doggy daycares. My MO is always long walks and lots of attention. I have 2 dogs of my own, a cumulative 17 years of pet raising experience. I have experience caring for sick pets and administering medication both orally and subcutaneously. I've had my pups since they were young and would consider them very well trained. If you're looking to work on certain behaviors, I can absolutely work on that during their stay. I have a fenced yard, a safe neighborhood for long walks, and for longer stays, expect your dog to enjoy a nice hike! I mostly work from home, so your dog(s) would never be alone and would have access to my fully fenced backyard whenever they want. During the week, I can do a long walk during my lunch break, and another after work. Weekends I tend to go hiking, so if your pup enjoys nature, they will for sure have a great time. My yard is fully fenced, and I have 2 friendly dogs. Safety is paramount, so dogs would be supervised while in the yard together. If your dog requires a crate, I have both a plastic and soft sided kennel for indoors.

About: I have extensive experience in pet care, including puppy training, senior pet care, administering medications, and providing personalized attention to ensure your pets feel safe and loved. Pet care fits into my daily routine quite easily. My class schedule from 1-3 PM gives me flexibility in the mornings and evenings to care for pets. I typically have the morning free to take dogs for walks, feed pets, and give them some playtime or attention. After class, I can offer pet sitting or check-ins in the late afternoon and evening, and I’m available for overnight stays too if needed. Since I live in Elma, I’m located close enough to Olympia to commute for pet care gigs there as well. Monday to Friday: • Morning: Flexible pet care (feeding, walks, etc.) before class, 8:00 AM - 12:30 PM • Class: 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM (Elma) • After Class: Pet care (checking in on pets, feeding, or cleaning) from 3:30 PM - 6:00 PM • Evening: 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM (Additional pet care or evening checks, if needed) Saturday & Sunday: • Flexible availability for pet care throughout the day depending on how much time is needed for pets (morning check-ins, afternoon care, and evening care). For pets in my own home, I ensure a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space for pets to roam and relax. I provide regular feeding, walks, and playtime, and I’m also attentive to their needs, whether that means extra cuddles or quiet time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions to maintain consistency in the pet’s routine. I make sure their space is secure, clean, and safe. I offer walks, play sessions, and feedings, and if the pet requires any medication or special care, I handle that as well. I strive to keep their home as clean as I found it, including changing litter boxes, cleaning up after walks, and ensuring the pet is comfortable while their owner is away. Communication with the owner is key, so I provide updates and pictures to keep them informed.

About: This is all still new to me, but I’ve always had a natural love for animals. Most pets warm up to me right away, and I take pride in being gentle, patient, and attentive. I’m excited to provide a calm, caring experience for your furry family members:) At the moment, I’m out of a job, so I have open availability. Every day, 24/7. Give me a call and let’s work something out! My home is not available because I’m renting out a space from my girlfriend’s dad. But in a clients home, I’m very respectful of the space. I was raised with very modest manners when inside someone’s house. You can guarantee everything will be exactly where you left it

Mathew was great with my Dads dog. Made sure she got lots of energy out going trail walking. She’s a bigger dog so my dad was worried she might be too strong but Mathew had no problems. Would recommend. 🐶

Sophie is such a natural --at caring for dogs as well as people. When I had a sudden death in my family, she stepped up to cover every day I needed, with kind words, extra help and collaboration when we required it. She is now close friends with my poodle, and a warm, reliable friend to me. My dog learns everyday from Sophia!

She was on time for every walk and followed instructions as there were a couple changes along the way. Gave daily reports and pics which helped. Thank you Lauren for being so great with our fur baby
