“Kris was so helpful!

I was so grateful for updates in words and pictures! We will certainly bring Aniol to Kris's again.”
“Jennifer took great care of our family member Blue. (As with some human family members, our canine family member can be a handful.). Jennifer worked with our requests and Blue’s nuances/personality. Couldn’t be more pleased that we found Jennifer and were fortunate to have Blue hang out in a great environment, with customized attention. Five stars.”

“Chelsea was very responsive and accommodating. I called at the last minute she had no problem taking our Airedale Terrier. Such a help know that Zeus would have a good place to stay while we were away - thank you Chelsea.”
“Cade was a fantastic Rover. He was on top of his communication, has a great property that our dog was able to enjoy, and was really flexible. We ran into a problem where our travel plans were delayed and Cade was happy to let our dog stay another night. I would highly recommend Cade to watch your dog and will be rebooking next time we need a rover.”
“Barley had a nice stay with Leslie and has returned to me happy and well cared for. Leslie’s place is a good find: lots of fenced outdoor area and opportunity for dogs to socialize. I definitely plan to use her services again!”
“Dolly is so kind and always takes such good care of our special needs dog. We have used Dolly twice now and already have her booked for a 3rd stay. Super pleased with the care our dogs get with Dolly.”
“Susan kept our senior dog and rambunctious younger dog for several days over Christmas. She sent lots of cute photos and daily updates, and I could tell they were getting lots of love and play time. She contacted us right away when she had a concern about our older dog, and she did all the right things to care for her. I'm very grateful for Susan!”
“Li was very easy to communicate with and sent me nice updates and photos throughout Baxter’s stay. Baxter seemed to settle in quite nicely and I felt like he was well taken care of. I would book with Li again.”
“My Corgi had back surgery 4 weeks prior to her stay with Minerva, so we were really nervous leaving her with anyone who didn't know how to handle her post Surgery. Minerva took such great care of her during her stay. With 100% confidence we recommend Minerva to take care of your dog.”
“Lisa was absolutely amazing with our timid little chi - we were afraid Daffodil would be nervous and shy but she played and trusted Lisa completely! We will be only going to Lisa for our Rover needs :)”
“Friendly and professional. The photo updates put me even more at ease, seeing that he was enjoying himself. That there is a dog run nearby and he’s taken for night walks was a bonus.”
“Michelle and her family took great care of our Mini Aussie while we were traveling. We appreciated the great communication and how she figured out that Izzy just loves to be with people. We would absolutely love to have her care for Izzy again!”

We appreciated the regular updates and knowing that our dog was well looked after while we were on vacation. Adrienne and her family were really sweet to Lyra and we’d happily rebook again.”
“Clara took great care of our dog! It was so nice to hear updates from her about their day and activities. In addition to the great care and attention she gave our dog, she was great communicator for planning and throughout the my dog’s stay. I will definitely ask her to dog sit again in the future!”

“Chandra did a fantastic job taking care of our 2 cats! She was very professional and understanding of the needs of both of the cats. She gave us great and detailed updates and pictures of the cats whenever she was over to check on them. I would highly, highly suggest her for any pet sitting needs.”
“Emily did a drop-in visit for my two cats, and impressed me with her responsiveness and attention to detail. The care instructions were followed to the letter and she was great at keeping me informed about and documenting her visit. I look forward to having Emily care for my cats in the future when I'm out of town!”
“Lizz was fantastic with my cat, Artemis! She took such great care of her on our trip and was very communicative the whole time. I will 100% go back to Lizz for future cat sitting! Thanks, Lizz!”
“She was absolutely wonderful! Attentive, communicative, and so thoughtful about sending pictures of my kitties, just as I’d asked. One of my cats decided to take it upon himself to demolish a potted plant while I was away, and Willow cleaned up the whole mess without hesitation—and rescued my plant. When I got home, both of my kitties were happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Thank you so much for being flexible and able to watch my cat somewhat last minute! Alena was very quick to respond and kept me in the know with her check in visits. I could rely on her to take care of everything!”
About: I did not grow up with cats as my parents were allergic, but that didn't stop me from begging for a kitten. My experience with cats has primarily been petsitting for my sister's cat with medical needs, and I'm pleased to report that she warmed up to me quickly.
“Another fabulous stay from Cady. Regular updates showing happy cats, thoughtful communication, and care taken for both our home and our fur babies. Cady is our go-to sitter!”
“We are so thankful we found Jenna!! She is an absolute doll, so sweet & so easy to work with! Her communication is excellent, it’s clear she loves animals & she cares about doing the best possible job! I would highly recommend booking with her - you will not be disappointed! We’ll be using her again, without a doubt!”
“It was wonderful working with you and I hope to work with you again in the future! I appreciated your flexibility and little notes you left after your visits! The photos you sent eased my worries about leaving my boy home! Thank you so much!”
About: While I have one year of professional client experience, I bring a lifetime of personal experience living with and caring for cats. I deeply understand that cats are unique individuals who thrive on strict routines. Whether your feline companion is energetic and playful or quiet, sensitive, and shy around noise, I am attuned to feline body language and their personal boundaries. My drop-in cat care includes meticulous litter box scooping, fresh food and water fountain refills, and plenty of focused playtime with their favorite toys—or just quiet, peaceful companionship for kitties who prefer their space. I am always happy to patiently verify exactly where a hiding cat is to ensure they are safe, calm, and comfortable before I leave.
“Darien was great with my senior cat! I felt very comfortable leaving her to care for him and give him his thyroid pill every day. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Morgan was punctual and communicative. Took great care of my 12 week old puppy during a drop-in visit. We met beforehand to make a plan and she made my wife and I feel so comfortable leaving our pup in her care as this was our first time using Rover. Went the extra mile to make sure our other pet was secure and that the house was locked and lights were on.”
“Bodhi is incredible! My cats are always excited to see him, wanting to play and cuddle. Bodhi is incredibly reliable, responsive, and the best pet sitter. I’m very, very grateful. Thank you!”
“Sophia was fantastic! One of my cats got so stressed missing us that he ended up having blood in his urine - she spotted it and communicated to me right away so we could get him to a vet and get meds. She was a great communicator and clearly very sweet and caring with my boys. I will definitely book her again! Thank you!”

About: Ive worked in a variety of pet care settings over the last 12+ years. Ive worked at vet clinics, police training kennels, pet sitting companies, have been a pet grooming assistant, have done dog training, and run my own pet sitting business for a few years as well. I have worked with a wide variety of dogs (big, small, old, young), and cats with a variety of special needs, I have cared for horses, small animals (rats, bunnies, chickens), goats, and several species of reptiles, and a cockatiel once. I am thorough, communicative, and am able to give a quality pet care or pet adventure experience. My availability changes per day and week based on appointments. My schedule is semi-flexible depending on the needs of your fur-kiddos and the service(s) provided. I offer in-home pet sitting, pet care, as well as can take dogs into my own home. In my own home there is a dog and several cats, so your dog(s) would need to be cat and dog friendly. Your dog will have friends to play with and cuddle with and a fenced yard to roam around with chickens, goats, and ducks in the back (typically fenced off separately).
“I had a fantastic experience with Alex as Rune’s dog sitter. Rune had a great time playing with her dogs, and she has a lovely space that’s perfect for hosting. Alex was extremely responsive, communicative, and took great photos throughout. Overall, I felt very reassured and happy having Rune stay with her.”
“My dog had a wonderful time with Addison! He was friendly and communicative during pickup, drop off, and during care. When I picked up I could tell Puck had a wonderful time and Addison shared fun stories about his day. I'm planning to use him as a regular sitter for my pup!”
About: Hi, I'm Irene :)! I'm an all around animal lover, but especially dogs. I have a husky named Nova, so I have experience caring for and understanding dogs and cats of different personalities (huskies are part cat too, right?). I love spending time with them, playing, going for a walks, hikes, runs and making sure they're happy and safe. Although I enjoy activity daily, I also can handle the needs and care for lower energy/senior dogs. I'm responsible, punctual, and just enjoy being around animals. I'd be delighted to take care of your dogs or cats! I’m home most of the day since I study remotely. I might go out for a couple of hours to run errands, but aside from those times, I’m usually either at home or out in the mountains with my dog, Nova. So pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to give her plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship :) I would preferably care for pets in their own home, as my apartment is fairly small. I love keeping dogs active and happy through walks, runs, and hikes when appropriate and with the owners’ approval. And of course, lots of love, attention, and playtime! I’m also happy to follow each pet’s routine and the owners’ instructions to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for
“Alexis is the best! My girl came home from daycare so tired and happy from playing with the other pups. Pick up and drop off is so convenient also, and allows for a worry-free day.”
“Holly and her family took such great care of our dog, Dottie. I couldn't be happier with the process - from the first message to the meet & greet to the doggy day care date. Communication was clear and easy, and I felt that safety and care were well prioritized. Having that reassurance that your dog is in good hands is honestly priceless. The fact she had a great time with Archie is the cherry on top. Dottie is already passed out sleeping (on the couch - sorry!) from all the fun she had. Will definitely book again. Also thank you for all the photos during the visit! They were very comforting for this anxious dog mom.”
About: I adore dogs and would love to help out with yours! I have had my dog, Tank, for about 8 years now. I love to take him on walks and throw a ball with him. If you have any specific requests or if your dog has a specific schedule, I’m more than happy to accommodate! I’m a college student but I do have some flexibility and I can try my best to work with you and meet your needs. I am extra free on my school breaks too! I can make any type of adjustments so your dog is happy and comfortable. Do they have a strict schedule for food or walks? I can make sure that that routine remains. I have a medium sized dog at home (about 20 pounds) I make sure to exercise him everyday, even if it’s just for a quick walk near my apartment so exercising your dog is something I’m always happy to do.
“Leslie is awesome to work with. We started with a meet and greet and then Toast stayed with her for daycare. She was very communicative, and was wonderful with Toast. Sometimes he can get really excited and stressed with too much time with other dogs, but when I picked him up he was relaxed and happy. We'll totally book with her again.”
“Leslie took great care of my Nikki. She has never been at daycare and loved it very much especially the homecooked meal that Leslie prepares for her dogs. What a great place . I will bring Nikki back to Leslie anytime and highly recommend her.”
“Karrin is great, super great communication on the app and in person. She sent pictures, although I didn’t get them because I didn’t have WiFi on the whale watching excursion most of the time, until later but she sent me a lot of them for the short amount of time they were with her. She took great care of them. They are looking forward to going back to see her and her puppy tomorrow and spending the night with them!!!”
“My dog Murphy has stayed with Anastasia a few times. My husband and I have hectic work schedules and we appreciate the attention Anastasia gives Murphy. Murphy goes on several walks and we get lots of picture on how he’s doing through out the day. Murphy comes home tired and happy after daycare! Thank Anastasia ❤️”
“Im incredibly happy to have found Sara and her lil dog Lilly thru this site. She made me feel very comfortable leaving my 9 month old puppy Maia. I completely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter. Sara was very attentive to her needs an giving cuddles as she missed her family. As well as sent me pictures from yard shanigans to a fun walk with both our doggies. I cant thank her enough and will definitely be chosing for the future!”
About: I have been pet sitting for the a couple years, caring for both dogs and cats in a variety of settings. I have experience with multi-dog households, including overnight stays for over a week as well as shorter visits, holiday stays, play dates and walks. My experience includes walks, drop in care, feeding and meal routines, administering medications, avoiding pet allergies and of course playtime! I have dog sat for puppies less than two months old to senior dogs with mobility issues who need extra care, diets and sensitivity. I have grown up caring for my own dogs and cats, so I am very comfortable with animals of all ages and personalities. I genuinely love animals and prioritize making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I am currently out of school for the summer, working part time and focusing on side work, which allows me to have a flexible schedule. I have open availability for pet care throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I provide reliable care in my client’s home by following the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, giving any medications as directed, and keeping their space clean and comfortable. I also make sure pets get plenty of companionship, playtime, and mental stimulation through walks, play, and positive interaction. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owner is away. I give clients updates and photos during my stay, and always leave a summary of my time with their pets at the end!
“Kendra was amazing! She is very kind and loving with pets. I received pictures of Princess throughout the day and Princess looked so happy! If you live in the Palm Springs area, or are visiting (like I was), and need someone to look after your fur babies, I would 100% recommend her. ❤️ Thank you, Kendra!”
About: I’ve loved and lived with dogs and cats my entire life and can’t imagine a home without animals. As a longtime healthcare professional and nurse, caregiving comes naturally to me, and I’m attentive to the subtle changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and comfort that can tell us how an animal is doing. I’m comfortable with senior pets, special needs, and medications, but most of all, I simply love being with animals, whether walking a dog, cuddling on the couch, or patiently earning a cat’s trust. I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I will care for yours with the same warmth, attentiveness, and affection I give my own. I have a flexible work schedule, which gives me plenty of time to make pet care a natural part of my daily routine. I enjoy being outdoors and walking, as well as having quieter time at home, so I can easily accommodate walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of cuddles. My flexibility also allows me to be attentive to each pet’s usual routine rather than expecting them to adapt to mine. Creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment is very important to me, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours. As a healthcare professional, I naturally pay close attention to safety, routines, medications, changes in behavior, and the environment around me. I respect each pet’s unique personality and boundaries, allowing them time to feel comfortable and build trust at their own pace. I’m also very respectful of other people’s homes and will care for your space, and most importantly your beloved pets, with the same attentiveness and care I would want for my
“Saisoi is awesome! My boys quickly warmed up to her and I appreciate that she sent me photo updates throughout the day. It's clear she is an animal lover and that my dogs were comfortable staying with her. We will be re-booking Saisoi soon!”
About: I have always had dogs! We live in the Silver Beach neighborhood and have recently lost our sweet little poodle and now that our children are grown and gone, I feel I can provide a safe, reliable, and fun space for dog parents who need a sitter. I am a homemaker who enjoys, hiking, and biking and being in the outdoors. I travel to see our son who is in college at UNC but for the most part am here in Bellingham and available for dog sitting. I have a fenced in yard in a safe neighborhood with lots of trails near my house for off leash or if it’s more important, leashed walks. Also, I love doggie cuddles.

“Audrey looks out for the details when caring for our dogs. Amid freezing weather, we forgot to leave out the dog’s winter jackets, but she knew where they were in the garage and added them for the walk.”
About: I grew up working on a farm! Not only am I familiar with training puppies and caring for cats, I also know my way around a barn. I have time in the early mornings and evenings to visit your pets! I am also able to house sit and provide daily exercise to any extent you need! I love to go on walks and adventuring in parks. But I also love just sitting on the couch with a dog or cat :) I am flexible and ready to meet whatever your pet needs!
“Chandra was amazing! She was super kind and communicative. My pup got into some food he shouldn’t have before one of her walks, and she took care to make sure he was okay, gave him a bath, and made sure everything was okay in the house. She took extra care to make sure my dog was loved when I wasn’t home.”
“Lizz saved the day for us! We had a family emergency come up and had to leave town last minute. Lizz was able to cover all the walks in our absence. She gave us great feedback and won over our shy pup. Highly recommend.”
“Judith has been a lifesaver for me recently as I move into my new home. I’ve been back and forth between homes and with little notice she helped support my pups and me on several occasions now. Will definitely utilize her services again!”
About: Hello! As a lifelong cat owner and recent but enthusiastic dog sitter/walker, I'm prepared to give your pets the dedicated, stress-free care they deserve right in the comfort of their own home. Over the past year, my professional experience has focused heavily on high-quality drop-in visits for my dedicated clients. To round out my professional experience, I spent last summer walking my sister's dog, which gave me great real-world experience managing a pup out on a leash. Safe, Attentive Drop-Ins & Walks: Whether I am stopping by for a drop-in visit or taking your dog for a stroll, safety is my absolute highest priority. Before stepping out the front door, I perform a thorough security check on all harnesses, collars, and leashes to prevent any sudden escapes. I track our route closely and actively avoid chaotic environments or un-introduced dogs. Your pup will get a fantastic mix of mental stimulation, healthy exercise, and fresh air. 🗓️ Service Schedule & Weight Limits: Drop-Ins: Monday through Saturday — Up to 100 lbs. Dog Walking: Monday, Wednesday, Friday — Up to 60 lbs (must be well leash-trained). Core Visiting Hours: 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. (Please Note: I am unavailable for early morning visits before 10:00 AM or late-night visits after 8:00 PM). Core Walking Hours: 10:00 AM to Sunset/Dusk (Please Note: For pet safety and visibility, I do not schedule outdoor walks after daylight hours.) Booking Buffer: I require a minimum of 3 days' notice for all new clients so we can comfortably schedule a required Meet & Greet prior to booking. ● To maintain a safe and trustworthy environment, a brief, 15-minute Meet & Greet is mandatory for all first-time clients before a booking can be confirmed. ● I am highly proactive about pet wellness and am currently planning to expand my skill set with formal pet first aid training in the near future. ● Please note that clients must provide all necessary cleaning supplies for their pets' spaces.
About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own that I’ve had since puppies, so I understand both the fun and responsibility that come with caring for pets. I’m especially comfortable with medium and large dogs, young and energetic dogs, and dogs who need a little patience while they get comfortable with a new person. I have experience with everything from puppy energy and leash manners to post-surgery care. I know that every dog has their own quirks, preferences, and rules, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely rather than assuming what works for my dogs will work for yours. I’m also a physician assistant; being dependable, detail-oriented, observant, and calm in unexpected situations comes naturally to me. While my medical background is human rather than veterinary, I’m comfortable following detailed medication or care instructions and paying attention to changes in behavior or condition that may need to be brought to an owner’s attention. Most importantly, I treat pets as members of the household rather than a chore to check off a list. I want your dog to get the exercise, attention, affection, and consistency they’re used to while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule which gives me plenty of availability for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate daytime, evening, and weekend care, and I can often be flexible with timing depending on your pet’s usual routine. I’m currently taking a couple online courses finishing my doctorate, so most of my schedule can be arranged around pet-care commitments. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where I can follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feedings, walks, medications, crating, and any household-specific instructions. I know many pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I’m careful to respect both their routine and your home. For pets staying with me, I have a fenced yard on an acre of land at a dead end quiet street. I have 2 friendly, higher-energy dogs of my own; I would always want to make sure personalities and play styles are a good fit before having dogs spend extended time together, and I’m comfortable using crates or separate spaces when needed. I pay close attention to secure doors and gates, leash safety, feeding instructions, interactions between pets, and any behavioral or medical concerns you let me know about. My goal is to keep things calm, safe, and as consistent with your pet’s normal routine as possible.
“Morgan was amazing with Gia! Gia has a new friend now. It was really last minute and Morgan was very accommodating and helpful! Would (and am) book again.”
About: I have provided care for dogs and cats for over 20+ years. I was the first to volunteer in my youth to "stay home" with the animals. I am thoughtful and reliable and understand the importance of a maintained routine. I approach all visits with patience, care, and professionalism. I communicate clearly with pet parents and adjust my care to match each fur baby's personality. Trust and confidentiality are my priorities. Flexible schedule! I am currently between employment commitments while I assist family members with life changes. I am organized and reliable and can accommodate regular visits as well as short-notice needs. I prioritize maintaining your pet's normal routine to reduce any stress and ensure comfort and safety. I follow care instructions closely and monitor behavior and overall well being. I communicate regularly and provide all requested updates. I treat the client's home with care, professionalism and discretion at all times. I am an active person and enjoy walks/runs.

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 8 and all my dogs have shown great love towards me because I give them the full love back. I am known in the family as the family caretaker when our dogs get old and need special attention. The reason I take care of my dogs when they get older because I have the patience, attentions, and most of all, love in supporting them through their elderly stage. All pets deserve the best and I am more than happy to provide that! I am currently taking the year off from work to travel the world but in between my trips I have a lot of free time and feel it can be better spent taking care of pets while other people can enjoy trips or another activity that requires them to leave their pet at home. I have a 5-year old Havanese and I take him on walks daily, I make sure he is bathe at least once a month, and try to take him on as many trips so I can, so he can enjoy the world as much I as I do.
About: I’ve always pet sat for all my family members! I love dogs and training them!! I also worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility so know lots of dog temperaments! I am a stay at home mom to a 4 month old! I have lots of freedom and flexibility to my schedule so can fit your needs into my routine! I don’t have a fenced yard, we do long sniffy walks instead! And only potty on leash. I have a German shepherd that loves to play with other pups! Or they can be separated! Whatever you prefer.
“Skylar was great! She was wonderful with my two dogs on the meet and greet, and was extremely punctual for their actual walk. I’m so happy to find such a responsible person to be able to call in the future!”
