“Olivia was amazing with Walter! She was very communicative while she watched him for 10 days. I received daily updates and picture. It losoked like the had the best time together. You can tell ahe really has the heartfor this. I have found my personal dog watcher for Walter from now on!”
“We’ve never boarded our two little dogs before and we were terribly worried about trusting them with someone or that they would be okay. Oh man, we had nothing to worry about. I think they want to go back! Darby made us feel assured with pictures and reports of our babies not missing us one bit. They had an adventure and were more entertained at her place than at home. They lounged on her couch and slept with her (just like at home). They watched chickens and horses (more interesting than our house). I felt 110% assured they were safe and well cared for. It was wonderful to have no worries. Plus…she picked them up and delivered them back to us. Perfect experience. ❤️”
“Maggie was caring with our dog & great with communication when our family schedule required some flexibility. I felt like she was very responsive and would book w her again without hesitation.”
“We had a great experience! Pick up and drop off were easy and convenient, and Colin communicated well throughout the stay. It made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I would happily book with him again!”
“Jeremy was a wonderful host to my high energy pup. To see her playing and having a good time instead of moving and sad with check ins was wonderful. Will definitely book again.”
“Michael provided a very good boarding experience for my dog Zoey. He was very professional and flexible with pickup and drop off. Would totally recommend to anyone looking for someone to watch their dog!”
“Lisa and her family were awesome! So grateful to have someone to look after my fur baby and I know he was loved and well cared for. Great communication and really loved receiving the photos and videos while we were away. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Erica was amazing and came through for a very minute request for a weeklong stay for my dog Luna. She was incredibly caring and responsive and Luna had an amazing time! Would use again in a heartbeat.”
“Lauren provided me with photos, videos, and updates through my time away. She even took them to the dog park and groomed them! Ill definitely be using Lauren and Dalton again!”
“Momo was relaxed when we picked him up, which is not his normal mode outside of our family. Andrew and Mariah were very communicative and professional. Very much appreciate them!”
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!
About: I've had pet dogs and cats since I was ten years old. Then, my child had pets. Then, I retired and for the past 18 years I've had a Grand Cat and a Grand Dog that stayed with me when their family was away. Just as often I went to their house and house sat. Seven months ago my last grandpet died. I miss the the love I get back when they feel loved. Our home is quiet, our neighborhood is safe. Though I'm active, I'd prefer older, smaller dogs. They would need to be able to left alone for 2 to 3 hours on occassion. However, your beloved pet will seldom be alone. I'm retired and can spend lots of time with your pet. I'm active. I go to the gym have dinner with friends on occasion etc. Otherwise, I'm a home body and when your pet and I aren't taking a walk and smelling the roses, he/she will be beside me getting plenty of TLC. My yard isn't fenced, but we live in a very walkable neighborhood. I prefer smaller and/or older dogs. I'm good for three to four walks a day, 15 to 30 minutes long, depending on the weather, between 6:30am and 10pm. Your pet will share our space.
“Maren sent me updates with pictures every day. I was happy to have my girl Licorice there and could tell when I picked her up that she was well cared for. I plan to request boarding with the again!”
“I wish I could give Bobbi more than 5 stars!!! We had a home project going and because of an unreliable timeline for when it would be finished, I kept having to extend her stay. Bobbi was more than accommodating and accepted Shaka's extension. She kept me well informed and sent me pictures multiple times a day. Bobbi was very responsive to my messages and got back to me so quickly. Shaka was spoiled this past week!! She loved being there, I can tell. 😊 We will only be booking with Bobbi for Shaka's boarding in the future. 🥰 Thank you so much again!!! ❤️”
“Sheena was awesome. She took wonderful care of our dog, Lola, and sent lots of picture updates to make sure we knew Lola was having a great time. I’d recommend Sheena to anyone in the area needing to board their fur babies.”
“People say they love animals, but not everyone truly does! I believe Kimberly truly loves animals. I feel she treated my puppies like they were hers. I am fairly new to leaving my girls with a sitter, Kimberly put my mind at ease. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will have Kimberly watch Thelma and Louise anytime I need a sitter again.”
“Wonderful communication, professionalism, and enthusiasm. She worked with my requests and provided a worry free experience. I really appreciated Sheena's help in sitting our puppy and would definitely use her again!”
“Norman absolutely loved Kaela and her family! She is super accommodating, she accepted us last minute and allowed me to adjust my drop off time. I got lots of updates and pics the whole time and he slept all the way to the campsite so I know he had a great time with the kids! If your dog is good with kids I can’t recommend this family enough and will definitely be reaching out next time I’m in town!”

I’m so glad I found Leanne! I needed a last minute sitter and she was available and very accommodating. My dog requires some extra care and Leanne provided that without hesitation. I felt immediately that my dog would be safe and comfortable in her home and she was! I will definitely book with Leanne again.
Jennifer and her family had such a welcoming space for our golden retriever Toast! There was a lot of communication and pictures sent, not to mention her dogs were great companions for ours. Definitely plan to have Toast stay with Jennifer again if we’re ever back in the area!
Our two pups just completed their first stay with Deidre and we couldn’t be happier on the care they received and the communication she had with us. We hope that she will have the availability to care from them in the near future but anticipate that she will grow in popularity due to her 1st class service!
Hazel had a great time staying with Bobbie for the weekend. Bobbie sent text and photo updates throughout the weekend and made sure Hazel had gotten energy out on a walk and went potty before I picked her up, which was very helpful. I could tell Hazel felt comfortable staying with her and would happily work with her again!
Olivia was an incredible sitter who took exceptional care of our two chihuahuas. I was quite nervous about leaving our little ones for the first time, but Olivia's reassuring updates and genuine enthusiasm made the experience so much more comfortable. We are truly grateful for all the kindness and care she showed while looking after our furry family members. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of them!
