“Branden and Nikkishae took care of my puppy, Evie, while i was out of town for 5 days, and she had the best time! They were very accommodating when i had a last minute change in plans, and kept me updated on how Evie was doing. Afterwards, Evie looked so happy when i picked her up and was exhausted from playing. I will use Branden and Nikkishae again and again!”

“Ana was fantastic! She was very quick responding when trying to book a sitter. She is very flexible in drop off and pick up times, as well as setting up a meet and greet before hand! My 50lb German shepherd had a great time and would absolute rebook with her!”

“Kelli did an amazing job watching my 2yo GSD! Great communication with pictures and videos! We did a meet and greet before hand making sure everything was going to be great! I will definitely be using Kelli in the future to watch my boy!”

“This was our baby’s first time being boarded and I am glad my mind could be at ease. The process was smooth from booking through pickup. Kody was overwhelmed with being away from his humans but the next day he was happy and playing with other dogs and we were sent pictures to show how he was doing. They were very responsive to texts and made sure they were aware of any special needs/concerns. We will definitely book again!”

“Mikayla was great! She kept us updated with daily photos and our dog had a blast. She had a great yard for him to run and play in. I could really tell she cared for him like he was her own. Would definitely book again!!”

“Natalie has watched my very hyper German Shepard three times and I honestly wouldn’t choose anyone else! She is constantly sending us pictures and keeping us updated on how our fur baby is doing. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!!!”

“Niki is a fabulous sitter and I highly recommend her! She sends daily updates (with photos) and is on top of any questions you might have. As an experienced dog trainer, she is beyond valuable when it comes to needing a nervous dog to be watched. I have one of those and she was so patient with him that he decided to let her pet him which is incredibly rare. I absolutely plan to book with Niki again in the future.”
“Outstanding service! Has truly gone above and beyond for my pups both times I’ve left them with him, and I’m sure there will be more stays in the future. Thanks Kurt!”

“Ana is amazing. Our fur baby was so loved. It was our first time using Rover and I love it. Thank you Ana for loving our baby like he was your own. We have tried facility boarding before and he would come home shaken and so upset. We have found our fur baby person. Thank you”

“From the moment I dropped Kaine off, I felt completely confident that he was in excellent hands. He took the time to ensure a smooth introduction between his dog and Kaine, which immediately put me at ease. He also gave me a tour of the area where Kaine would be playing—it truly felt like a vacation for dogs. Throughout Kaine’s stay, I received daily updates and photos, which provided great peace of mind. If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would. I will definitely be returning in the future.”


“What phenomenal people. I used to bring Mickey to a Dog Hotel & when I came back to get him, he’d be so wound up and anxious. Today I picked up a dog that is cool as a cucumber. I know he was well taken care of! I will definitely be using these guys again! ❤️❤️”

“Brenda treated my two dogs like they were her own. They slept and played and appeared to have a blast. She has a great fenced in yard and her dog zelda is wonderful with mine and so sweet. Well worth hiring.”

“Victoria was amazing with my dog! He usually has a hard time warming up to new people, but she was so patient and understanding with him. She watched him for 4 days without any issues, kept me updated, and made sure he was comfortable the whole time. I could tell she really cared, and that gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

About: I am passionate about animal care, especially when it comes to cats. With over 10 years of experience handling cats and currently working at a veterinary clinic for the past 1.5 years, I have developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. Throughout my career, I have administered medicine to various animals—ranging from cats and dogs to chickens and ducks—honing my skills to ensure that every furry friend receives the best possible care. My time at the veterinary clinic has further enhanced my knowledge, allowing me to handle any medical needs your cat may have with confidence and expertise. I also take pride in maintaining a clean and welcoming environment for your pets. I am more than happy to take care of litter box upkeep, ensuring it remains fresh and tidy. A clean space is essential for your cat’s well-being, and I make it a priority to keep everything immaculate. I believe that every pet deserves love, attention, and proper care, and I am dedicated to providing that for your cats. You can rest assured knowing that I am more than capable of taking exceptional care of your beloved companions!
About: I absolutely LOVE cats, but I love dogs as well! I grew up with a cat that I was extremely close to, and now and I have a little one of my own. Though I have never owned a dog myself, I am comfortable around them, have petsit dogs and am more than happy to take care of one! My family used to travel for extended periods of time growing up and I would be so anxious about our pets being at home alone, even though they were being taken care of. I understand that anxious feeling and can definitely offer you peace of mind when you're away. I will be super interactive with your pet and play with them as much as they'd like! It's important to give them lots of attention and love when you are away. Though I am busy with school, I can do many things on my own time, making my schedule very flexible. This is how I am able to fit pet care into my daily routine! I will always keep my home and your home safe for pets!

About: I recently moved here but grew up on a large agriculture/cattle farm in Wa state. I’ve shown all animals growing up, and competed in rodeo throughout most my high school years. I have had many dogs and many cats throughout my life as well as rescued more animals than I can count. I have a masters in mental health counseling but worked alongside a veterinarian throughout college. I currently have 6 dogs and 4 cats of my own, which most of them were strays I found. I truly believe animals are our children and they deserve to be loved and cared for as such. I am detail oriented and can ensure your baby(s) will be well taken care of. I currently am not working, so I am home full time. I recently got engaged, and my fiancé is military so I have lots of free time to help with whatever it is you may need! I have personally never crated my animals, but if it is what you prefer I will do that. We do have a very large yard with no neighbors, but I don’t even let my own dogs run around unsupervised. I did build a small fenced area in the back that attaches to a dogggy door in the house just so they can go out in emergency situations. My animals are allowed on furniture and of course sleep in the bed to get all the cuddles. I’ve been lucky to never have issues with chewing or accidents but I know all animals are different. I can truly accommodate to anything to make sure your pet is well taken care of.

“Terri had been such a great sitter!! I’ve used her multiple times now because of the great experience with her. The first time I used her she was so responsive to the booking request and was more than understanding of what I needed for my dogs.

I highly recommend you book with her! She’s great!! Thank you Terri!!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, especially when it comes to cats. I grew up in a household that always had multiple cats. I just recently moved from my parents house where we had four, including a rescue I brought back from an overseas deployment. I also have experience caring for senior pets, including my childhood pet, a 14 year old Siamese in her final years, where I provided comfort, medication support, and close monitoring. I’ve fostered multiple litters of kittens, including bottle feeding, scheduled care, and neonatal support (including stimulation for bathroom and feeding routines), so I’m very comfortable with young or high needs animals. I also have hands on experience caring for dogs, including a family chocolate lab that I regularly walked, took on beach trips, transported safely in my vehicle, and maintained consistent feeding and exercise routines for. I’m comfortable managing leash behavior, high energy dogs, and ensuring pets get both physical activity and attention. What sets me apart is my genuine compassion and attentiveness. I treat every pet like my own and take the time to understand their personality, needs, and comfort level. Treating any animal I encounter humanely is my calling. It is humans responsibility to care for them. I’m a substitute teacher, so I’m able to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I make sure to stay consistent with each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. I have no pets or children at home. I have a huge backyard that isn’t completely fenced, but property behind it. No smoking or people coming in/out for any reasons.

We have a large fenced in back yard with lots of room to roam and play outside. With cameras in the front and back yard that helps us keep a close eye on their movement to ensure safety.
About: Hi I am Asher I been taking care of dogs since I was young. At this current time I have a pittie terrier mix called Sox’s and she’s my world can’t wait to meet your special fur baby!! :)) I wake up take my dog out, feed her and give her water, play with her if needed and then take nice nap with her and repeat some steps as the day goes by. I plan to give your pet the best care that they deserve. Also whatever you ask for to be done will be done as soon as possible.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of patience, reliability, and genuine care I bring to every dog I work with. I always treat each pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and engaged while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines, quick to pick up on each dog’s personality, and always communicate clearly with updates, photos, and check-ins. I also have hands-on experience working with puppies—helping with basic training, reinforcing good habits, and keeping their schedules consistent. For senior dogs, I’m very gentle and understanding of their needs, from slower walks to medication reminders and extra comfort. No matter the age, size, or energy level, I tailor my care to fit exactly what your dog needs. Overall, I bring professionalism, compassion, and a calm, dependable presence that helps your pet feel right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work Monday–Friday from 8–5, but I’m very flexible and can adjust my schedule when needed. Before and after work, I make time for walks, feedings, check-ins, and playtime, and I’m always available for early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I plan my days around making sure pets get the attention, structure, and consistency they need, so even with a full schedule, I’m always able to provide reliable and loving care. When I’m caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their routine exactly the way the owner prefers. I keep things familiar for the pet—feeding at their normal times, sticking to their usual walk schedule, and keeping their environment clean and comfortable. I always give plenty of playtime, attention, and affection, and I send regular updates and photos so owners feel connected and reassured while they’re away. If a pet requires special care—like medication, crate routines, puppy training, or senior support—I make sure those needs are handled consistently and gently. My goal is to keep pets relaxed, happy, and safe by making their day-to-day life feel as normal as possible, whether I’m stopping in for a visit or staying longer.

About: I am a certified, licensed, and insured dog trainer and the owner of Chaos To Clarity K9. I work with dogs and their families on obedience, leash skills, everyday manners, and behavior challenges. Many of the dogs I help are everyday family dogs who need guidance with things like pulling on leash, barking, jumping, reactivity, or learning how to settle in the home. I also enjoy working with puppies and helping owners build strong foundations early through clear communication and consistency. I have a strong interest in behavior modification, especially helping dogs work through fear, stress, and reactivity at a pace that keeps them comfortable and learning. My husband is a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) and a combat veteran and former military police K9 handler who trained civilian police dogs. Because of his veterinary background, I’m also able to consult with him when behavior questions may have a possible medical component, which can sometimes play a role in behavior. I also understand that dogs live in real families with real challenges. I live with multiple sclerosis and am raising an autistic four-year-old, so I appreciate how important it is for training to be practical, realistic, and supportive of the household environment. My goal is always to help create calmer, safer, and more enjoyable relationships between dogs and the people who love them. One thing that’s very important to me is paying attention to canine body language and stress signals. Dogs communicate constantly through subtle changes in posture, facial expression, and movement, and recognizing those signals early can prevent many behavior problems from escalating. During training, I help owners learn how to recognize what their dog is communicating so they can respond in a way that builds trust, confidence, and better behavior over time. Dog training is part of my regular weekly routine, and I intentionally keep my schedule structured so each client receives focused attention. My current training availability is: • Tuesday: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM • Wednesday: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM • Thursday: 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM • Saturday: 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM • Sunday: Afternoon appointments available by request Closed: Monday and Friday Because each dog and family has unique needs, I limit the number of training sessions I take each week so I can provide thoughtful, individualized guidance and follow-up support between sessions. Safety, trust, and clear communication are always my top priorities when working with dogs and their families. I pay close attention to canine body language and stress signals to make sure dogs remain comfortable and able to learn during training. Training sessions focus on creating a calm, structured environment where both the dog and owner can succeed. I work at the dog’s pace and help owners understand what their dog is communicating so they can respond clearly and confidently. My goal is to create training plans that are safe, practical, and sustainable for everyday life, helping dogs feel more secure while helping owners feel supported throughout the process.

About: I have been trusted a magnitude of time to support families on trips watching their pets daily. I sent pictures and updates when I am there watching pets. Being in the military, I have days where I can come home early and I am there to support my pets needs and I most of the time give my dog a full of attention I make sure that their pets feel loved that they go on multiple walks a day to get out of the house and stretch out. I also make sure that they are well fed and hydrated.
About: I have been a dog lover my entire life and have cared for dogs since I was about 10 years old. I’ve had the privilege of having many different breeds and mixed breeds as part of my family, so I have a lot of varied experience. You can count on me for happy paws and lots of tail wags! I am available to walk or drop in on your dog during the day on weekdays! The hours would be between 9-12:30 Monday through Thursday. We currently have a chocolate lab who is 8 years old and is such a sweetheart. She loves to play fetch in our backyard and go on walks with the family. I plan to treat your dog with the same love and care as my own.

“Branden and Nikkishae took care of my puppy, Evie, while i was out of town for 5 days, and she had the best time! They were very accommodating when i had a last minute change in plans, and kept me updated on how Evie was doing. Afterwards, Evie looked so happy when i picked her up and was exhausted from playing. I will use Branden and Nikkishae again and again!”

“Ana was fantastic! She was very quick responding when trying to book a sitter. She is very flexible in drop off and pick up times, as well as setting up a meet and greet before hand! My 50lb German shepherd had a great time and would absolute rebook with her!”

“Kelli did an amazing job watching my 2yo GSD! Great communication with pictures and videos! We did a meet and greet before hand making sure everything was going to be great! I will definitely be using Kelli in the future to watch my boy!”

“This was our baby’s first time being boarded and I am glad my mind could be at ease. The process was smooth from booking through pickup. Kody was overwhelmed with being away from his humans but the next day he was happy and playing with other dogs and we were sent pictures to show how he was doing. They were very responsive to texts and made sure they were aware of any special needs/concerns. We will definitely book again!”

“Mikayla was great! She kept us updated with daily photos and our dog had a blast. She had a great yard for him to run and play in. I could really tell she cared for him like he was her own. Would definitely book again!!”

“Natalie has watched my very hyper German Shepard three times and I honestly wouldn’t choose anyone else! She is constantly sending us pictures and keeping us updated on how our fur baby is doing. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!!!”

“Niki is a fabulous sitter and I highly recommend her! She sends daily updates (with photos) and is on top of any questions you might have. As an experienced dog trainer, she is beyond valuable when it comes to needing a nervous dog to be watched. I have one of those and she was so patient with him that he decided to let her pet him which is incredibly rare. I absolutely plan to book with Niki again in the future.”
“Outstanding service! Has truly gone above and beyond for my pups both times I’ve left them with him, and I’m sure there will be more stays in the future. Thanks Kurt!”

“From the moment I dropped Kaine off, I felt completely confident that he was in excellent hands. He took the time to ensure a smooth introduction between his dog and Kaine, which immediately put me at ease. He also gave me a tour of the area where Kaine would be playing—it truly felt like a vacation for dogs. Throughout Kaine’s stay, I received daily updates and photos, which provided great peace of mind. If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would. I will definitely be returning in the future.”

“Brenda treated my two dogs like they were her own. They slept and played and appeared to have a blast. She has a great fenced in yard and her dog zelda is wonderful with mine and so sweet. Well worth hiring.”

“Victoria was amazing with my dog! He usually has a hard time warming up to new people, but she was so patient and understanding with him. She watched him for 4 days without any issues, kept me updated, and made sure he was comfortable the whole time. I could tell she really cared, and that gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Ashley is a great sitter. After meeting with her, I felt confident that my dog would be cared for and comfortable. I really appreciated the photos and updates she texted while I was away. I know I'll be happy to have my dog stay with Ashley again.”
