“April is absolute magic! She is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and has created such a wonderful space for the dogs. We left our two dogs with her for four days and felt completely at ease the entire time.

We are so grateful for her and will absolutely be using her again and again!”

“Sheri did a great job taking care of my German Shepard. I really liked that she sent pictures and told me what she was up to during the day. She was also really flexible with my schedule and had a nice backyard for Adal to play. Her other dog was very nice too. ”
“I am so very happy with Kayla and her Iris. They took such good care of Hotrod. I even get to come inside and in fenced backyard to see them play. Hotrod thinks its his second home now. He is so happy there. He has started acting like a puppy here again and we cant be happier. He starts crying a block away--he KNOWS where we are going!!! He runs right to the dog so happy. He runs in the house and is so excited. I try to come when kids are asleep on sleep overs because he is SOOOO happy and LOUD. HAHAHAHA”

“A wonderful pet sitter! Very communicative and warm. She was able to accommodate our last minute request, sent us updates and photos of our doggy while we were away, which was very reassuring, and she was flexible and understanding when our ferry delayed our pickup time by almost an hour. We would recommend her and be happy to have her care for our pup again in the future.”

“Angela and her family were amazing with our sweet pup! Not only did she take wonderful care of him, but he had a great time and it felt like they actually enjoyed having him. Finn clearly felt relaxed and safe in their home and under their care, which isn’t always the case. Angela also did some leash training with him and taught him how to use their doggie door! It was a fantastic experience and I will re-book with Angela anytime I have a need for Finn. I couldn’t be happier with Angela and her sweet family! Thank you, Angela!”
“Kim and her husband were amazing! They are such sweet and kind people who took such great care of my pup I was able to do a meet and greet and she stayed in constant communication along with sending pics. Unfortunately I'm moving out of the state but if I ever come back to visit, Kim will be my first choice every time.”
“Coordinating with Ashley for our two dogs' boarding was an excellent experience. She sent multiple daily photos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in a loving home and receiving wonderful care.

“David was amazing! Our pup, Pearl, was with him for 4 days and he gave us constant updates via pictures and videos to ensure us that our little girl was doing well and having a great time with other dog friends. We were very nervous as we have never been away from her, and his care for the dogs lifted that weight off our shoulders! We will definitely reach out to David for our next adventure that we are unable to bring Pearl on, and I recommend other use his services as well. You won’t be disappointed!”

“Nicole was a life saver! We had an opportunity to travel to Houston, but were concerned about how to get our two kitties attended to - Nicole to the rescue! She stopped by daily and fed/watered and took care of the litter box and got to play with one of our cats - the other was too elusive for her to interact with, but we know both were well cared for! We will definitely call Nicole the next time a travel opportunity comes up!”

“Bridget and Lou babysat my boxer and I was so scared as I have never sent my baby to a sitter before. We got to there house and Lou came out and greeted us and right away Diva took to him and I felt a little at eased. After I left I didn't even get to the bottom of the hill and I received a picture of my girl sniffing around the house, That made me feel a lot better.

About: I have taken care of just about every type of animal since I was young (dogs, cats, horses, birds, fish, hedgehogs, gerbils, snakes, etc.) I've trained and raised several puppies and kittens. The majority of the animals in my life were adult animals and if they were family pets, they stayed with us until it was time to cross the rainbow bridge so I also have a fair amount of experience with senior care as well. I grew up with no less than 4 animals in the house at all times, so I'm very good with multiple-pet households, but I currently live in a household with only one dog, so I am also comfortable doting on just one at a time :) I am currently available 24/7 and this is my primary career! I am happy to care for your fuzzy friends and family any time of day or night, their set schedule becomes my own! :3 I really believe every pet is different and taking into account their personality, energy, as well as their history or needs is very important. I like to give pets loads of attention if they are the type that likes attention, or I'm happy to just sit and read a book with them if they are more the sleepy type. I don't believe in leaving dogs in yards unattended, and I am a very communicative person-- I am not afraid to ask questions or clarify things I may not be sure of.
About: I have always had dogs and currently have bunnies too. I volunteer one morning a week at the animal shelter when I'm physically able. I have trained six of my own. Also enjoy creating enrichment and providing interaction for those who benefit from it. Happy to give your pets company for a short while. I am available to do drop-ins for up to an hour or two in the mornings or early afternoons including a potty break. Depending on the dog and the day, longer walks may be available. Dependent on demeanor, I can provide company outside or inside with as much attention requested, a short walk, or play session. Automatically thresholds will be respected for exposure to triggers. On-leash will include practicing loose-leash walking, lots of sniffing, and some impulse control. Play will include the toys and/or treats provided at the pups home.

About: Hi, I'm Trisha! I have been married for a little over 5 years to my husband Shawn. I have 2 children, a 10 year old boy, named Orion, and my daughter Kaylee, who would have been 22 years old, unfortunately she passed away from a car accident in 2020. I grew up in a little country town in CA. And was raised with animals. My grandpa was a big animal lover, and we had everything from a baby bear cub to kittens. I was in FFA for 4 years and raised a pig all 4 years to sell at the fair. Shawn is from the Arlington area and was also raised with animals. He has raised everything from goats to kittens. We feel that your pets aren't just pets, but more like a child, and we know the importance of finding the right care for your Fur-Babies. A majority of the pets we have cared for have been rescue pets. The the transition for them is hard enough as it is being left at a stranger's house, and we don't want to make that transition any more difficult for them. We ask that you bring an item with them, something that they associate with you and home. Also we ask for these items as well: food, food bowl, and water bowl, bed or bedding, toys they may want to play with, treats, and of course a daily interaction log ( we want to keep them on the same routine that they are use to, or as close to it as we can) I also try and send pictures daily, but in the off chance I miss a day, I send extra shots the next day. If we sound like a good fit for you, we are always happy to set up a meet and greet at our place for introductions. (We have also taken in fur-kids without meet and greets.) Drop off and pick up are as followed: Drop Offs: before 6:30am are an additional $10.00 Pick ups: after 8pm will be an additional $1.00 per minute unless prior arrangements have been made with Shawn or myself. Also we have a $20.00 off your first booking with us, for you! (Can only be used for our services) please ask for coupon code! Have a great day. And we look forward to caring for your Fur-Babies🐱🐕🐶🐩🐺🐈 I currently work 7am to 3pm Monday through Friday. And Shawn works from home as an independent contractor, so your Fur-baby would always have someone with them. We live in quiet housing complex right off of Smokey Point Blvd. that gives you quick and easy access to I5. We have a 6'' fenced back yard, live at the end of a dead end street, very little traffic.

I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I grew up with a Pomeranian and cared for him through his senior years, so I know the extra patience and gentleness older pets need. I also raised my brother’s kitten to adulthood and have dog sat for relatives and cat sat for friends and coworkers, from playful puppies to shy kitties. What sets me apart is that pets have never been a side interest for me. Pets have been a part of my daily life since childhood, and I treat every animal like my own! As a student, my schedule gives me a good amount of flexibility during the week, so pet care fits in naturally rather than being squeezed in around a rigid 9-to-5. I can build feeding, walks, and playtime into my day without rushing, and I have the free time to give each pet real attention, not just a quick check-in. That flexibility also means I can adjust to a pet’s routine instead of asking them to adjust to mine. I only provide care in the client’s home, since I think pets do best staying in their own familiar environment, surrounded by their usual smells, sounds, and routine instead of the stress of a new space. When I’m there, I stick closely to the pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime, and I make sure to spend real one-on-one time with them, not just handle the basics. I also keep an eye on anything that seems off whether it’s their appetite, energy, or behavior so I can flag it to the owner right away.
About: I love dogs and am looking to spend my free time playing with wonderful pups. Dogs are the joy of my life:). I believe that pups can teach me a lot about the simple pleasures in life. I am always spoiling pups that I meet with love and attentions that fulfills me and is appreciated by the pups themselves. I enjoy taking time out of my day to make pups feel loved, well-cared-for, and happy. I share a Shiba Inu with my friend Honza who I love more than anything. He has taught me how to be patient and kind when teaching dogs to interact positively with their surroundings. I look forward to encountering as many breeds as possible in my life so that I can understand more about what makes each dog different.

“April is absolute magic! She is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and has created such a wonderful space for the dogs. We left our two dogs with her for four days and felt completely at ease the entire time. She kept us updated, shared helpful insights on how we can continue improving our dogs’ behavior, and took exceptional care of our fur babies. We are so grateful for her and will absolutely be using her again and again!”
“Rachael is a great sitter for our two dogs. She updated us on how they were doing daily. She also responds promptly about any questions I have. She loved on our two babies well while we were away.”
“Sheri did a great job taking care of my German Shepard. I really liked that she sent pictures and told me what she was up to during the day. She was also really flexible with my schedule and had a nice backyard for Adal to play. Her other dog was very nice too. ”
“I am so very happy with Kayla and her Iris. They took such good care of Hotrod. I even get to come inside and in fenced backyard to see them play. Hotrod thinks its his second home now. He is so happy there. He has started acting like a puppy here again and we cant be happier. He starts crying a block away--he KNOWS where we are going!!! He runs right to the dog so happy. He runs in the house and is so excited. I try to come when kids are asleep on sleep overs because he is SOOOO happy and LOUD. HAHAHAHA”

They are such sweet and kind people who took such great care of my pup I was able to do a meet and greet and she stayed in constant communication along with sending pics. Unfortunately I'm moving out of the state but if I ever come back to visit, Kim will be my first choice every time.”
“Coordinating with Ashley for our two dogs' boarding was an excellent experience. She sent multiple daily photos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in a loving home and receiving wonderful care. She was also incredibly flexible when our flight was delayed, accommodating a later pickup time than planned. We would definitely book with her again!”

“David was amazing! Our pup, Pearl, was with him for 4 days and he gave us constant updates via pictures and videos to ensure us that our little girl was doing well and having a great time with other dog friends. We were very nervous as we have never been away from her, and his care for the dogs lifted that weight off our shoulders! We will definitely reach out to David for our next adventure that we are unable to bring Pearl on, and I recommend other use his services as well. You won’t be disappointed!”

“This is the first time using someone to watch our dog... it was an absolute wonderful experience we ever had. Very polite and communicated with fast responses. Our dog is very shy amd timid but they understood that and worked with him for the time they had him. We felt like they became part of our family.”

I can tell that she kept working on his potty training and mouthiness, as he had no accidents since he came home and is not nipping as much. I will definitely use her service again!”
