Highly-rated overnight sitters - Gertrude
“Bobbi is seriously amazing. She sent photos and updates of my boys multiple times a day. Before the boys stayed with her she facilitated a very controlled meet and great, let me see where the boys would be staying and playing. It was so appreciated and I left knowing my boys were going to be in the best hands and totally spoiled. 10/10.”
“Scout was happy and well cared for. She loved rolling around in the grassy back yard. Amanda took Scout on walks and for a swim which is one of her favorite activities. I so appreciate all of the pictures. Pick up and drop off was such a great option for our situation. It’s so nice to leave your pet with someone you can trust! Thank you Amanda!!”
“Kelly is amazing! She is so sweet and welcoming. She took such great care of my little guy. She made sure to give daily updates with pictures on how he was adjusting to her home. I would 100% recommend Kelly to anyone looking for dog sitting services.”
“We are sooo happy that we found Kana. She made our vacation worry free since we knew or Doodle was on good hands. The pics she sent made it even better. We will definitely use her services again. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!”
“I highly recommend Dee! She did so great with my boys and I felt at ease on my trip knowing they were being taken care of so well. And she sent videos of them playing in the snow that were so cute!”
“Our dog has done daycare and boarding with Ethan and it’s been a wonderful experience. He is always well cared for and gets lots of interaction and activity. We enjoy receiving photos and videos of his fun. We highly recommend Ethan :)”
“Craig and Angela were perfect host for Leo, my high energy Australian Shepherd. Leo enjoyed playing with Craig & Angela's Golden Retriever, Ellie, in their fully fenced back yard. I would not hesitate to board him again with them. Thanks Craig and Angela!!”
“Foxy was so excited to see his house, ran right in and didn't miss us for the whole week she was at his house. I love all the pictures and just know my dog is happy at Jeremy's house.”
“Lizzie was incredible! My Bruce had sooooo much fun staying with her pack (human and animals alike). Her own dogs were very friendly with him and welcoming, and she spoiled him with lots of long walks, trips to the dog park, and games of fetch. He was a super happy pup when I picked him up and can't wait to book with her again!”
“Heather’s the best. She provided a clean, organized and, most importantly, caring environment for my pup while I was out of town for a few days. He got along great with her house dog and she kept me updated. I highly recommend her.”
“Tobi was GREAT!! At the meet and greet I knew she would give Shorty the personalized loving and care she needed. I really like that she had an older dog the same age as mine, so bonding could happen and it did! Throughout my trip I would get pictures of Shorty's stay when she was with Tobi that let me rest assured that I had made the right decision. Tobi will be my pick again when I'm out of town!”
“Our dog has stayed with Jennifer multiple times. He is always excited to see her and her dogs. It ends up being a fun vacation for him as well. Jennifer is amazing and is so easy to work with. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would without hesitation.”
“Our pup had a fantastic time with Christianna! She took wonderful care of our dog. A trip to the lake with her family, walks and lots of play time with her two dogs - even allowed on the furniture 😊. I really appreciated the pics and texts reassuring me. I absolutely would use and recommend Christianna to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“I adore Vicki and her hubby. They both show a lot of love for canine critters and take such good care of them. They have a great backyard for the dogs to explore, and I never worry one bit about my dog!”
“Dana was wonderful. Sophie and Bodhi loved her. Bodhi is a special needs dog, visually impaired. She made a point to make sure that Bodhi was comfortable and was included with the group. Thank you Dana!”
“Molly was wonderful. She sent daily photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind and reassured us that our dogs were safe, happy, and well cared for. She is kind, attentive, and clearly loves animals. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her and would not hesitate to recommend her to others.”
“Melody did great job talking care Max . She sanded me pictures and write the notes about the Max and how he loves to cuddle with her and follow her around. Melody is very nice and she loves being taken care of Max . I’m really appreciate her.”

“Anna was a phenomenal pet sitter, and we will not hesitate to hire her again! First, and most importantly, our animals were well cared for. We appreciated the updates, and photos and videos Anna sent. All of their daily tasks were taken care of and we came home to clean pens and litter boxes. She also treated our house with such respect. It was so nice to get home and have happy animals and a clean house.”
About: have 2 years of hands-on experience caring for cats and genuinely enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. My experience includes feeding, brushing, litter box care, playtime, and providing plenty of attention based on each cat’s individual personality and needs. I understand how important routine and patience can be for cats, especially in their home environment. Whether your cat is social and playful or more shy and independent, I take the time to help them feel comfortable and respected. I’m also comfortable administering medications with clear instructions and always aim to provide dependable, attentive care and regular updates for pet parents.
“Katey was wonderful! She took great care of my cat, so much so that I'm not sure Starfall wanted to come home. :) She updated me with photos and videos, and was very attentive to Starfall's needs. She's very friendly and easy to work with. I plan on having Starfall stay with her in the future!”
About: Cats are my heart - I’ve had them my whole life and currently chase around two very spoiled rescues. I adore the moods, quirks, and secret routines of our mysterious little housemates. I’m calm, gentle, and always respectful of their space. Whether your cat is snuggly, sassy, or shy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved - treats, playtime, meds, litter scooping and all.
“To our relief, Alisha was available during the Christmas holidays. Our regular sitter was out of town and recommended her highly. Alisha braved terrible weather to drop in and care for our kitty. We’re grateful for her reliable service.”
“Brian did a great job checking in on our dogs! We were gone on a day trip and just need someone to stop bye and let the dogs out. He handled them very well, took pictures and let us know everything was okay. We will definitely we reaching out in the future 💗”

About: What sets me apart is my combination of lifelong hands-on experience and professional knowledge of animal care. I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have always shared my home with cats. Growing up, my family bred our dog, and I helped raise and potty train the puppies before they went to their forever homes. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement from an early age. Today, I’m a high school Animal Science teacher, where I teach students about animal health, behavior, welfare, and responsible care. I enjoy working with dogs of all ages, especially reinforcing good manners and basic training. Friends and family often ask me for help with training their dogs, and I love helping build confidence through positive reinforcement. I’m also experienced administering medications and following detailed care instructions, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with special medical or daily care needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an adult dog who loves adventure, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or a cat who enjoys a calm companion, I’ll provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. Since I’m a teacher on summer break I have lots of weekday availability right now. I have very flexible availability, if you don’t see the time/days you need on my schedule, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I have a fenced in yard and an XL wire kennel in a calm area your furry friend is welcome to use. My dog, Lady, is very sweet and gets along really well with other dogs (even her grumpy old cousin). She loves playing with others, but I can keep her separated as needed. My cat, Mister, he is okay with other dogs coming over and just hangs out in his own space until he can trust the new doggo. I will treat your pet with the love and care I give to mine. I will follow any rules, commands, and training practices that you use with your pet. I use force-free, reward-based training to build clear communication, trust, and reliable everyday behavior. I have experience with gentle leaders, no-pull harnesses, and structured collar systems when appropriate for safety and handling. I can help with: * Loose-leash walking & pulling * Leash reactivity / frustration * Basic obedience (sit, down, stay, recall) * Recall in distracting environments * Impulse control & leash manners My approach is tailored to each dog’s temperament and focuses on real-world success and consistency between sessions. I also make sure to review each pet’s profile so owners don’t have to repeat information. For severe aggression or complex behavioral cases, I’ll communicate honestly if a certified behaviorist may be a better fit.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was a child living on a farm- dogs, cats, horses, chickens, rabbits, fish, and even plants! I have a deep sense of care for animals and living things, and will nurture and attend to your loved ones’ needs while you are away. I have a one year old chocolate Lab named George who gets along great with other dogs and is polite and respectful with cats. He comes with me on overnight stays and walks, but can stay in my truck for drop-in visits if you prefer. I can take your dog on long walks or visit dog parks during the day and give them plenty of playtime and attention. Available for drop in feeding visits, walks, or overnight stays. I am available to drop by or stay overnight in client’s homes. I have a pickup with a canopy to transport your dogs to the dog park, and have access to a private beach. Comfortable with large breeds, leash training and working with behavioral issues. Let me know what your pets need and I will be happy to accommodate.
About: Since I was 9 I have grown up with bunnies, dogs, and guinea pigs! It was early morning feeds, cleaning cage and the most fun part of it all was playing, cuddling and loving on the animals. When I turned 16 in school for extra credits I volunteered at a animal shelter in Bothell WA and loved every minute of it! Especially one day when a cat would not eat and I decided to go in the cage and just talk to the cat and gentle touches and took some food into my hand and eventually the cat started eating!! From that moment every chance I could I would walk, feed, clean, bath and play with the neighbors dogs, cats even horses!! So as you can tell I have some experience with animals and the love and companion and care as well as patience. I have also trained a few of my friends dogs the basic behaviors as well as my own! I'm not an expert but I do have the ability and patience to help with unwanted behaviors like barking, sitting, laying down, no jump, easy, wait, and I learned it all on you-tube! This is why I am trying a different path in my life and I just wanna show all the care I have for these furry friends and as well as the owners because it all starts with good customer service!! I am reliable understanding of schedules and want to meet everyone's needs to the best of my abilities because in the end its about the care and needs of your furry loved ones!!! Thank you and hope to meet you furrry-soon!!! My schedule is your schedule! If it works than it works if not we will find a solution and make it work!! I am open to any schedule!! If the need is my home, I have a fenced backyard its not a big yard but it is plenty to run and get that energy out. I have 2 dogs and a cat but I can separate if needed I am very alert and will be there always to keep an out out as well as just playing. Its all about communicating and letting me know as well how you would like to see things if the care is at my home! Always open to suggestions! Animals are like kids they have needs and I want to know so I can care for them the best way but of course no one can care for them like their owner!!

“Kana was very attentive to our dog's needs. She took care of her so well. My dog was excited to come back on the second day because they played with her and provided good activities. We appreciated very much their kindness with us and my energetic puppy.”
“Ethan was awesome! He has a great, clean space for the pups outside, and a nice clean air conditioned space inside. He was very communicative. Our dog had a great time.”

“Jeanette is an amazing pet sitter. She was flexible and communicated actively. She took care of my furry son, making sure he felt comfortable and at home in his new city!”
“We’ve been taking our puppy to Aliesha for a few weeks now and it’s been absolutely amazing. Our pup has very high anxiety and struggles in big daycares. Once we found Aliesha so much of our own stress has been relieved knowing Bruno is so happy at her place and his overall happiness has greatly increased. She provides enrichment activities, lots of yard playtime and even takes him to the nearby creek! I’m so grateful for her kindness to Bruno and for supporting him so well. HIGHLY recommend her for daycare!”
“I’m really happy with Riley’s first time staying with Jeremy for Daycare! Riley was well cared for, played a lot, made new friends today! I got pix & updates during the day. ? We will be back! Thank you Jeremy!”
“Matt has been fantastic. We've been using him for doggy care and boarding for our Husky at least once per week for the past month and she always comes home tired and well taken care of. Matt has been prompt in communicating with us and has been really flexible with our schedules. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had pets since I was born, and from age 5 I started to help withtheir care. I have always had a deep love for animals. I have had cats, dogs, guinea pigs, mice, rabbits, etc. I may not be a professional, however, I believe I am pretty knowledgeable about cats and dogs, their care, and some training. 3rd year in college, studying mathematics at WSU. I have had pets all my life back home and I lived them all sooo much. I am free most of days of the week in between my classes, good for drop ins and dog walks :) Lots of play, cuddle, excercise and attention. What ever the pet needs and wants, I try my best to fullfil. If they need to let out energy, let them play in the yard, if they need alone time, let them nap, etc. Lots of toys and enrichment activities, and lots of love.
“Jennifer and Champ are the best! They are both so welcoming. My middle-aged Lab is usually somewhat mellow and indifferent, but when he arrived for his second visit at Jennifer's house, he was super bouncy and excited! Jennifer has a big fenced yard and she has transformed her house for ultimate dog-friendly comfort. She sent pictures and updates throughout his visit, and even printed a beautiful photo of him for me to take home. Jennifer is very responsive, quickly responding to my inquiries about scheduling and and answering questions. I knew my Nikko was in good hands and I felt 100 percent comfortable leaving my pup with her. I just hope she doesn't get too popular and busy!”
“Very pleased with Nate and Roxana’s care for my girl! She was excited and anxious and came home and crashed!! Tired girl from group okay. It was a first daycare experience and she did so great. Appreciated all the pictures and updates. Very responsive in a timely manner. I was put at ease since I was a little nervous leaving her. Great set up/property for the doggies as well! Will be booking again!”
About: I’ve had dogs of all ages and sizes in my life since childhood. I’ve trained several dogs and am very patient and loving to all. I’m currently retired and can work with just about any schedule. Please contact me directly to arrange a time that works best for your pup. I have a fully fenced back yard and currently no animals of my own. Summer I spend most my time on my deck and in my garden. Your pup is welcome to join me. I have recently became a grandma and occasionally am a babysitter. Your pup must be loving towards toddlers to join us unless it’s a short stay that my babies won’t be joining. Contact me for additional scheduling. Thanks for understanding. Besides a few trips to the store or an occasional appointment I am home pretty much 24/7 so I’ll become your pups new bestie 😁 I have a fully fenced backyard. Because we have so many bunnies in our area when we build our fence we attached chicken wire to the bottom of the fence and buried the end in the dirt. So even the littlest of pups are safe!

About: I've spent a few different winters working for a doggy daycare where you need to arrange a schedule for each dog to go walk and go play. Some days we would have forty plus dogs all needing care and attention. I've also volunteered a substantial amount on many organic farms and working with all sorts of animals, learning how to read different animal personalities and manage their care I currently work from home and on the side have picked up many gigs and different short term services to fill the gaps in my schedule. Dog visits and walks are one of my favorite ways to break the day up and make it less boring. Feeding according to owners schedule and multiple short walks each day. I own a small property surrounded by virgin forest where dogs love to go and explore or for more fragile dogs can walk/play around small yards or dog friendly parks. I will always respect a clients home as a client and will never take advantage of the trust I am given for these type of jobs
“Awesome dog sitter. My dog has anxiety issues when left alone and he did wonderful with her! Her dog Rue helped out with the transition time and Buddy had a great time! Will be reserving her in the future.”

I’m patient, observant, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s extra exercise, gentle care, or simply companionship. I am currently working 5 days a week, and will be available on my days off. I miss dog sitting/dog walking as a hobby and would love to start doing it again. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs at my house, so I prefer to take care of the pets at the owners home. I would care for them by playing, taking them outside as needed, staying on a feeding schedule and possibly bathing if the owners request !

“Alright... where to begin! Brian did a wonderful meet and greet with my boys (two newfoundlands) and walked them today without me..that may seem like a strange thing to say but Byron (my younger boy) refuses to go on a walk for anyone but me - not even my husband! He was perfectly fine on going on the walk with Sinjin (my older boy) and Brian. No temper tantrums, no refusal to walk. NONE of it. Brian took them on a good walk, they had fun and their were no problems.”

“Our dog has stayed with Jennifer multiple times. He is always excited to see her and her dogs. It ends up being a fun vacation for him as well. Jennifer is amazing and is so easy to work with. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would without hesitation.”
“Our pup had a fantastic time with Christianna! She took wonderful care of our dog. A trip to the lake with her family, walks and lots of play time with her two dogs - even allowed on the furniture 😊. I really appreciated the pics and texts reassuring me. I absolutely would use and recommend Christianna to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“Dana was wonderful. Sophie and Bodhi loved her. Bodhi is a special needs dog, visually impaired. She made a point to make sure that Bodhi was comfortable and was included with the group. Thank you Dana!”
“Aliesha was very accommodating and welcoming to our sweet guy! We did a meet and greet first to make sure everyone got along and it went well. He stayed 6 days and she took him on several walks, kept me updated on status and sent me pics. He’s on a special diet and gets daily meds and supplements and she was a pro at understanding his needs. I knew he was completely at ease and comfortable in her care when she sent me a picture of him sleeping all sprawled out on his back in his most vulnerable state. I would definitely choose Aliesha to care for him again. ❤️🐶”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Erin and her husband took such an amazing care of my huskylab Shiro. They provided regular updates, including photos, videos and messages, and were very responsive. It was clear that Shiro was comfortable and having a great time hanging out with their two super friendly dogs. They even went for a walk all together. Also, Erin has a great backyard where the pups can run around. I truly appreciate the love and attention Erin’s family gave, and I will absolutely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”
“This is our first time leaving our dog with a sitter. In the past we have always used family or friends of the family to watch our dog. It could not have gone better!! He was well taken care of and we even got pictures sent to us. I don’t think he wanted to leave when we came to pick him up. I would highly recommend Rebecca.”
“Gisella always takes great care of my bulldog Walter. He loves going there and getting to play with Gisella’s dog Brownie. Gisella is always communicative and flexible, would 100% recommend.”
“Roxana and Nathan were wonderful with our girl, Maggie. They didn't hesitate one bit when I needed them on such short notice. With this being Maggie's first stay with them, they walked us around their large and very dog friendly piece of property and introduced Maggie to the other pups. By the time I left, Maggie was happily in Roxana's arms ready for her stay. The communication was excellent and I even received pictures and video of Maggie throughout her stay. At pickup, Maggie had been bathed and was clearly exhausted from running, playing and exploring the area. I will definitely use Roxana and Nathan again! Added bonus -- their two sweet daughters enjoyed playing with Maggie as well.”
About: I've spent a few different winters working for a doggy daycare where you need to arrange a schedule for each dog to go walk and go play. Some days we would have forty plus dogs all needing care and attention. I've also volunteered a substantial amount on many organic farms and working with all sorts of animals, learning how to read different animal personalities and manage their care I currently work from home and on the side have picked up many gigs and different short term services to fill the gaps in my schedule. Dog visits and walks are one of my favorite ways to break the day up and make it less boring. Feeding according to owners schedule and multiple short walks each day. I own a small property surrounded by virgin forest where dogs love to go and explore or for more fragile dogs can walk/play around small yards or dog friendly parks. I will always respect a clients home as a client and will never take advantage of the trust I am given for these type of jobs
