“Cynthia was absolutely amazing with Eddie! She was very communicative and made me feel very at ease with the drop off and pick ups. I recommend her for boarding and I'll be booking again I'm the future!”
“Overall great experience! Mary and Randy were easy to communicate with. We enjoyed receiving the daily videos of Frances and Frances was happy and tired out when we brought her back home.”
“Brandi was amazing! Our dogs stayed with her for a week and were very well taken care of. She kept us updated with pictures and a check in each day. In every picture, our dogs looked so happy! Brandi handled our dog’s medication and their little quirks with ease. Drop off and pick up were easy. She really went above and beyond!”
“Emily was so great with my girls. I got regular updates and pics, and felt confident that my doggos were in good hands. My elderly pug has some health issues, and has some doggy-dementia issues. But Emily took great care of her. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”
“I am so grateful for the care Araceli provided! From the start, she completely reassured me and made me feel at ease leaving my dog in her hands. She was incredibly professional and attentive, giving me total peace of mind. Most importantly, my dog came home spotless, full of energy, and clearly very well-loved. It is such a relief to find a sitter I can truly trust to be observant and caring. We will definitely be booking with Araceli again!”
“Erin and her family were great for our pups. Their confidence in their stay was very comforting. Our babies came home happy, healthy, clean. I have no doubt they were well taken of and received the attention they needed. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Our dog Rusty seemed to be very content and well cared for. Tony's place is a very nice country place, well off the road, with a large grassy area and lots of big firs. We will definitely ask Tony for his help with Rusty next time we can't take him with us.”
“Our Shepherd mix was right at home with Hailey and her family. He got 24/7 care, family love and attention. Hailey was easy to communicate with and worked with our special food mix that needed to be refrigerated. Great property to roam in the yard and lots of area to run and play. We will definitely bring our dog back.”
“Lyubov, was very good taking care of my pug Rocco. I really appreciate all the videos and pictures sent during his stay. Her frenchies seem very friendly and definitely would book again. Thank you so much.”
“Thank you, Todd, for taking such good care of our girl! The updates were very much appreciated. The pictures were nice clear pictures of Noel and you took care to take heed of every detail of her needs while she was with you. We will definitely look you up again if we ever need another dog sitter!”
About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats ever since I was very little and I have always loved taking care of them. I live at home with my parents and I have lots of experience watching our two dogs and cat for weeks at a time while they are traveling. (Note: neither my parents, or pets will be anywhere near your pets, as they are going to be in a separate part of the house. The house also has a huge backyard, sitting on over an acre with tall fences. I also keep plenty of toys on hand so you can be sure your pets are getting the love and care they deserve. I currently work from home and have a very flexible. schedule all throughout the weekdays and weekends so your pets will be cared for during their entire stay. I also do not leave our own pets unattended for more than a couple hours so the same can be expected for yours as well. Pets can expect over an acre of enclosed backyard, so plenty of room to run around and play as needed. Bathroom breaks will be given at least once every 1.5 hours - 2 hours and will be supervised the entire time as is standard with our own pups. We also have a cat and two small dogs in the house, but they will be upstairs and away from your pets during the visit.
“Steve did a wonderful job taking care of Tato! He was very responsive to our messages and Tato got plenty of play time with the other dogs that were there! Thanks again!”
“Brianna was incredible and Edwin had a blast. We were initially a little worried because of her fairly large (although playful and VERY friendly dogs), but our tiny senior settled right in like it was home.”
“Our two dogs had a great weekend with Melissa! They loved being able to hang out outdoors in their own private space. They seemed very happy when we picked them up!”
“Lajetta was an amazing sitter for our doggy. She is super kind and loving. She made sure to keep us updated and sent lots of photos! I would definitely use her services again!”
“Amy was so great with our two dogs! She was very responsive, sent pictures and updates, and seemed to really care for our dogs. Amy and her partner Jeff were both very knowledgeable on how to interact with and take care of our anxious/reactive dogs, and our pups appeared to be very comfortable with them. We’re so relieved and happy to have found such an amazing sitter, and will definitely be using Amy’s services again!”
“Chelsea was super amazing and flexible. My dogs both love her and her attentiveness. I have 1 dog that needed some accommodations and she was able to do so easily. Would totally use her again!”

About: Gentle loving care for all creatures, great... and not so great. Sometimes we just need a little extra kindness to blossom. I have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was 10 years old and every encounter has been an opportunity to make a new friend. Everyone thinks they have the best pet and everyone is right. I am currently working part time with flexible hours. I walk every day and love to have canine company. Spending time with animals brings me just as much joy as it provides for them. Getting through the day is stressful enough. Worrying about your pet while you are away should not be. I recognize that pet personalities are all unique. I will work with you to develop an individualized care plan for your pet’s needs.
“Wilcox was on time, very communicative, and super loving and patient with my pup! He’s a rescue and sometimes needs extra loving care, and he got it. I also got cool little photo updates. I’d definitely recommend Wilcox.”

I am a stay at home mom & I lam easy to get a hold of. If you want pictures everyday, i will provide you pictures everyday. I love hikes and going for walks. Let me know your needs and I will follow your rules. All I ask is that I meet you & your dog beforehand so we can make sure that your dog is okay with me & won’t think I’m a stranger just walking in the house. I am a huge animal lover! Can’t wait to meet you and the pup/pups! I have two dogs of my own that I adore! I’ve had them both since they were pups. They are my first kiddos. I take care of them daily. I follow all rules that are given to me. If they love all the pets then I will love them with all I got. If they love fetch, then I’ll throw the ball until they get tired.

“Veronica took very good care of my two cats. I loved that she sent pictures of them every day. The litter boxes were clean and she kept the floor around them swept and clean. I will definitely continue to ask her to care for my babies.”
“Kris was amazing in taking care of my cats while we were gone! I can’t say how much i appreciate that they’re loved and cared for when we aren’t there. 10/10 definitely recommend, and will use next time we’re away!”
“Breezey provided daily updates to us while we were out of state. When our spare key to our home didn't work, she reached out for help. Fortunately, she was then able to enter our home and care for our cat. I highly recommend Breezey.”
“We were so happy to leave our 3 week old kitten who needed constant care. Kimberly did a great job of keeping us updated on Bobby’s day! She help him use kitty litter for the first time. We have already rebooked for an upcoming day!”
About: I have been dog sitting since I was 12, with even more care for other pets at home. I have had a pet of some sort all my life, ranging from reptiles to dogs to cats. I am currently working at a Day Care Full Time Mon-Fri and am always looking for a refreshing furry friend to play with after the day is done. I am comfortable with any size dog and have even worked with dogs who have anxiety about being with someone other than their owners. I personally have 4 cats that I take care of with my roommate.
About: Hi, I’m Kelley! I’m a professional dog trainer with over 10 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. My journey started early. I began working at a veterinary office at just 15 years old as a kennel technician and assistant, where I built a strong foundation in animal care and behavior. From there, I expanded into training and spent 5 years in Hawaii working as a private contracted dog trainer, gaining extensive experience with a wide range of dogs and client needs. I mainly train basic to advanced obedience and service dog training but also have experience with training hunting/bird dogs and protection work. In 2020, I founded my own dog training business in Oregon, where I now provide customized, results-driven training programs. I work with dogs weekly through private sessions, as well as structured board-and-train programs. I also travel locally and to surrounding areas to support clients and ensure training carries over into real-life environments. I recently moved up to the WA side in Kalama. My property is fully set up with dogs in mind. I have a secure, fully fenced yard and dedicated training areas equipped with a wide variety of professional training tools. Dogs in my care receive structured training, enrichment, and appropriate socialization based on their individual temperament, goals, and needs. Whether your dog needs basic obedience, behavior modification, or a safe and structured place to stay while you’re away, I provide a reliable, experienced, and attentive approach to their care. I treat every dog like my own, focusing on building confidence, clear communication, and lasting results. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine since I run my dog training business full-time. My days are structured around the dogs in my care, including scheduled training sessions, exercise, enrichment, and rest time. Each dog follows a consistent routine that’s tailored to their individual needs-this can include structured walks, obedience training, socialization (when appropriate), and downtime to ensure they’re not overstimulated. Because I work from home and on my property, I’m able to provide constant supervision and hands-on care throughout the day. On a weekly basis, I rotate between private training sessions, board-and-train dogs, and client visits, so I’m always actively working with dogs in a structured and intentional way. This setup allows me to give each dog consistent attention, routine, and progress while they’re in my care. Care varies depending on the service, but all pets receive structured, attentive, and individualized care. In my home, dogs follow a consistent daily routine that includes exercise, training, enrichment, and rest. Because of my background as a professional trainer, I incorporate structure and clear communication into everything I do—whether that’s reinforcing good manners, working on specific training goals, or simply maintaining a calm, balanced environment. Dogs have access to a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and are always supervised. Socialization is thoughtfully managed based on each dog’s temperament and comfort level. For board-and-train dogs, their stay includes daily hands-on training sessions tailored to their specific goals, along with structured routines that help build reliability and confidence. In clients’ homes, I aim to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible to reduce stress. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications if needed, and any household rules the dog is used to. I also reinforce any training the owner is working on to maintain consistency. Across all services, my priority is safety, clear communication, and making sure each dog feels secure, understood, and well cared for.
“Gloria looked after our two cats and our house while we were away in Asia. She took excellent care of both the kitties and our house! I could tell our kitties liked her, too! She sent photos so we could see that they were doing well, which was reassuring since we were so far away. Our cat BJ snuggled with Gloria like she was family, and our other cat Graycie, who hides from all strangers, came out of hiding :-). Gloria also took good care of our house, watered my plants, and even respected my request that meat not be cooked in my kitchen (I am vegan). When we returned, the cats were just fine, their litter boxes were clean, and they had plenty of food and water. It is so nice to know that our "babies" were being well cared for while we were so far away. I definitely recommend Gloria!”
“Fantastic first booking with Derrick. Kit Kats were well attended to and very comfortable with a new visitor! Derrick kept in good touch with visit updates - no concerns, will be rebooking.”

Tina knew exactly what to do to make Luna feel more comfortable and relaxed. We will definitely use Tina again. Thank you Tina!”
About: I’m a lifelong pet lover who has owned and cared for animals for many years. I’ve also had the joy of being a “pet grandpa,” helping care for family pets and spending lots of quality time with dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’m dependable, calm, and patient, and I truly enjoy getting outside for walks and staying active.

About: Military Veteran | Lifelong Animal Lover Hello! My name is Kortni, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Since the age of 8, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals—from horses and livestock to dogs, cats, and even fish. My experience comes from both personal ownership and working alongside professional trainers, always with the goal of providing well-rounded, compassionate care. During my time in the military, I was fortunate to have a few incredible opportunities to work with military working dogs—an experience that deepened my respect for animal intelligence, discipline, and emotional needs. Now that I’ve recently transitioned out of the military, I’m taking time to reconnect with the things I love most: animals, nature, and a slower pace of life. That also means I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to your pet’s unique needs—whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, playtime, or sticking to a specific routine. This is my passion, and what I do for work. I currently have an 8-year-old Australian Shepherd at home who’s the biggest spoiled lap dog you’ll ever meet. I understand how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every animal in my care like one of my own—with love, patience, and attention to detail. Special diet? Specific routine? Just let me know—I’m happy to accommodate. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for while you're away. You can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet!

“Our dogs were safe and sound during their stay. Rebecca and Mike were wonderful and loving care providers for our three Lhasa Apsos. We highly recommend this caring family for dog day care drop in visits. Thank you so much for your hospitality.”

About: Hi! I have been taking care of animals my entire life, minus a handful of years. I work from home and have a beautiful fenced yard for dogs. I have a cat, so boarding situations need to be discussed. I am open to offbeat situations and pets, so you are welcome to ask. If I take on a job, your pet becomes my responsibility to keep happy and safe. Working part-time from home gives me the flexibility to care for your pets as needed. I schedule carefully, taking into consideration the needs of your pet. I prefer to care for pets in my home, but depending on the situation, we can work it work it out. Because of my feline at home, I need to also consider his needs. I am no longer working at home. My situation is now rather unique. It takes a special dog to manage at home with two cats while I am away at work. I am happy to discuss the possibility of working things out, if you think your pet will be content with being left for two long periods with an hour break in between. I will miss my clients for who this will not for. <3 I have a fenced yard and generally keep the dog in eye sight proximity. I'll follow your requests, just let me know. I'll do my best to maintain an emotionally safe environment as well.

I have a lot of experience working with my own dogs and in a kennel that requires 24/7 care. I provide daily exercise and care for my 3 dogs. I can provide care by providing activities of physical and mental exercises inside and outside the home to basic care of feeding and letting out to go to the bathroom. I am experienced with walking and training dogs, and I also love to just hang out with an animal for their entertainment (if you find yourself talking to your pet like a human then I’m the perfect person for you - I’m pretty sure my pups can understand everything I say to them & they talk back in their own way). I have dealt with animals who eat anything that’s up for grabs to a very specific diet. I understand the importance of routine for our animals and will respect what you need for your pet. For special care - If you need to make a very detailed list I would love for you to share with me and know it will be followed. I am comfortable and familiar with oral medications from puppies/dogs at the rescue I worked at and dogs of my own. My pugs are higher maintenance so I am familiar with medications administered by mouth, ears, and eyes. I also love to brush and maintain animals fur/coats, it is really a good way to bond if your animal is comfortable with it. I am currently going through a grooming course, and I have experience of my own from my personal dogs and working with puppies/dogs at the rescue. This includes working with animals that do not like or are new to grooming. I am mainly experienced with simple brushing and bathing, so I will stick to that level for now and I hope to be a groomer in the future once I’ve gone through my course and gained experience. You don’t have to worry about coming home to a fresh bob cut on your pet, luckily I have dogs of my own to practice on for now! If you would like me to brush out your dog and bathe them then let me know!
About: I grew up on a rural farm, so animal care is no stranger to me! I was also an active participant in 4-H and FFA. I love caring for peoples' fur babies. I have several references as well. I just moved to Kelso and I am staying with family. I'd love to spend time caring for animals and enjoying them. I currently dont have a day job as I just moved, so I have a lot of free time! I am great at following care plans and am very deta oriented. Your animals are safe and sound with me! I frequently am told that I give the animals around me TOO much love.
About: **please note I am located in Winlock, WA. Rover is working on updating my information** Hello, My name is Kim! I have been pet sitting on and off for 18 years, and I've had dogs/cats and trained dogs for over 14 years now. I'vw been a veterinary technician and emergency veterinary technician for over 12 years. I currently work part time at SCVSEC. I am fear free certified. I have extensive experience caring for dogs with special needs, medical needs, senior dogs, and dogs that are on hospice care. I also have 10+ years experience in training dogs, from competitive obedience and agility, to service dogs, to working with fear aggressive dogs. I particularly love puppy development and training. I use positive reinforcement and have experience in clicker training, but I can cater to any training needs. I do offer bathing/grooming in my home for those that stay with us. I have experience in grooming and competitive conformation. I am only available for day care and boarding at my house, and I would love to schedule a meet and greet to see if we're a good match. We have a fully fenced yard. Our home houses 3 very socialized dogs, 2 dog friendly cats, 9 chickens (they have their own yard), and a chinchilla. Requirements: your pet MUST be up to date on age appropriate vaccines (DHPP, Lepto, Rabies). I do strongly recommend Bordetella and Influenza as well, due to recent outbreaks. Your pet must be crate trained, as I do not leave pets loose when I leave the house for safety reasons. For puppies, I will gladly work on their crate training. Pets are supervised 24/7, I have 2 cameras in the pet area for when I have to leave the house. I love to cater to the individual, so please tell me about your pet so I can make sure they have the best and most enjoyable stay! **For all overnight house sitting requests, due to circumstances I need to bring my 1 dog with me. He is well socialized with dogs and a polite house guest. I have lived in a dog daycare/boarding situation, so I am very used to keeping dogs separate and I am more than happy to keep him separate and he would stay in a crate. If you have any questions about this or about him, please feel free to ask! Normally I wouldn’t bring my personal dog, but due to several reasons we are a package deal.** I am home almost 24/7, aside from an occasional appointment, so my day revolves solely around caring for any and all animals. I have a very flexible routine, so I can cater specifically to clients needs and time frames. I treat every pet like they are our own and give them endless attention (I might spoil them a bit). I pay a lot of attention to instructions and I’m not afraid to ask questions. Making sure your pet is happy and comfortable while you are gone and giving exceptional care is my priority.
“Our dogs had a BLAST! She walked both of our large dogs at the same time (which is insanely impressive considering they have a combined weight of 230 pounds). She took a great care of our babies - we will definitely be rebooking!”
About: I have had pets all my life; dogs, cats and many others as well! I am a lover of all pets and I am well versed in caring for them as well! I have owned and raised all ages of dogs and cats since I was young, so I am very comfortable with all ages, sizes, and species! I am an incoming college student currently on summer break with early morning practices so the entire rest of my days are primarily open and free to help take care of your furry friends! Daily, I have my own animals to take care of, but I am here to help and offer some assistance in making sure your pets are safe and getting all the care you want them to have. I am very respectful of the safety precautions and environment that you would want for your pets, I find it very important to understand and uniquely cater to the needs of your furry, scaley, or feathery friends. Just like us all pets are different and I will happily take on the responsibility to carefully and safely watch over, take care of, and play with your beloved pets. I would love to hear any specific instructions or suggestions for your pets so I can ensure I am providing all that they need, I can use my own knowledge, but ultimately you know your loved ones best!
“Kathryn did an amazing job with my energetic, reactive dog. She kept everyone safe, and even helped work on some skills to help her be less reactive! She really loves animals, and really knows her stuff. I highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up on 5 acres with lots of animals, from dogs to cats, chickens, and even rabbits. 6 years ago, I got my first puppy and now have a lifelong best friend. I'm familiar with simple care routines, as well as advanced care, including complex feeding routines and even insulin shots. I'm currently between jobs, and so I have a very flexible schedule that I can pivot to your needs. I'm excited to provide exactly what you need. I'm excited to provide careful attention and affection to your pets. I'm comfortable with a variety of pet personalities and needs. Specialized care is no problem!
“Mikki was great with our pup! It felt good knowing our baby was in good hands, and being taken on nice long walks. She was also very kind to our kitten. She even went above and beyond and cleaned up after our pup had an accident, when we never required it of her. Will definitely be using her services again ?”

“Cynthia was absolutely amazing with Eddie! She was very communicative and made me feel very at ease with the drop off and pick ups. I recommend her for boarding and I'll be booking again I'm the future!”
“Overall great experience! Mary and Randy were easy to communicate with. We enjoyed receiving the daily videos of Frances and Frances was happy and tired out when we brought her back home.”
“Brandi was amazing! Our dogs stayed with her for a week and were very well taken care of. She kept us updated with pictures and a check in each day. In every picture, our dogs looked so happy! Brandi handled our dog’s medication and their little quirks with ease. Drop off and pick up were easy. She really went above and beyond!”
“I am so grateful for the care Araceli provided! From the start, she completely reassured me and made me feel at ease leaving my dog in her hands. She was incredibly professional and attentive, giving me total peace of mind. Most importantly, my dog came home spotless, full of energy, and clearly very well-loved. It is such a relief to find a sitter I can truly trust to be observant and caring. We will definitely be booking with Araceli again!”
“Erin and her family were great for our pups. Their confidence in their stay was very comforting. Our babies came home happy, healthy, clean. I have no doubt they were well taken of and received the attention they needed. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Our dog Rusty seemed to be very content and well cared for. Tony's place is a very nice country place, well off the road, with a large grassy area and lots of big firs. We will definitely ask Tony for his help with Rusty next time we can't take him with us.”
“Our Shepherd mix was right at home with Hailey and her family. He got 24/7 care, family love and attention. Hailey was easy to communicate with and worked with our special food mix that needed to be refrigerated. Great property to roam in the yard and lots of area to run and play. We will definitely bring our dog back.”
“Thank you, Todd, for taking such good care of our girl! The updates were very much appreciated. The pictures were nice clear pictures of Noel and you took care to take heed of every detail of her needs while she was with you. We will definitely look you up again if we ever need another dog sitter!”
About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats ever since I was very little and I have always loved taking care of them. I live at home with my parents and I have lots of experience watching our two dogs and cat for weeks at a time while they are traveling. (Note: neither my parents, or pets will be anywhere near your pets, as they are going to be in a separate part of the house. The house also has a huge backyard, sitting on over an acre with tall fences. I also keep plenty of toys on hand so you can be sure your pets are getting the love and care they deserve. I currently work from home and have a very flexible. schedule all throughout the weekdays and weekends so your pets will be cared for during their entire stay. I also do not leave our own pets unattended for more than a couple hours so the same can be expected for yours as well. Pets can expect over an acre of enclosed backyard, so plenty of room to run around and play as needed. Bathroom breaks will be given at least once every 1.5 hours - 2 hours and will be supervised the entire time as is standard with our own pups. We also have a cat and two small dogs in the house, but they will be upstairs and away from your pets during the visit.
“Steve did a wonderful job taking care of Tato! He was very responsive to our messages and Tato got plenty of play time with the other dogs that were there! Thanks again!”
“Brianna was incredible and Edwin had a blast. We were initially a little worried because of her fairly large (although playful and VERY friendly dogs), but our tiny senior settled right in like it was home.”
“Our two dogs had a great weekend with Melissa! They loved being able to hang out outdoors in their own private space. They seemed very happy when we picked them up!”
“Chelsea was super amazing and flexible. My dogs both love her and her attentiveness. I have 1 dog that needed some accommodations and she was able to do so easily. Would totally use her again!”
“A great experience for our dog Nado. Jenny was very kind and welcoming. We rescued our dog over a year ago and he had been traumatized, we were nervous how he’d handle being apart. Jenny and her family made him feel more than welcome and he behaved very well and had a great time! Definitely recommend.”
“Shadie is great! This is our second time dropping our two dogs off here. On this trip, we had a major travel snafu (thanks southwest!) that delayed us two full days. Thankfully Shadie was still available and incredibly accommodating/understanding. Our dogs are always in good spirit when we pick them up. I would definitely recommend Shadie.”
“Elaine was great at taking care of my dog. I was away for 2 weeks on a trip and my usual sitter could not watch her for one of the weeks. Elaine kept me informed and sent some photos. Definitely would recommend.”
“Kathy and her family were wonderful with Dooly. She provided up dates via tex and photo's. Hes an old boy and it sounds like he did alot of resting and watlching. He came home fit and well rested. thank you Kathy”
“Robert was great with my dogs. They had a nice place to sleep and play. I think they thought they were on vacation. He was very thoughtful about making the dogs feel at home. Will definitely bring them back again!”
